You just can’t!”, mused Oscar Hammerstein rather wistfully, at the opening of the Boston Globe’s High School Editors’ Club for 1958-59. Mr. Ham- merstein and his equally famous partner, Mr. Richard Rodgers were guests of honor at the conclave in the beautiful ballroom of ,the Sheraton-Plaza Hotel in Boston, on No- vember 12th. Dorothy Thorne, John Tramello, Isabelle Wamock, Rita Falco, Emma Cafarelli, Janet Resteghini, Robert Cronin, Peter Vidito, Lydia Stavrinos, Nancy Swett, Rita Riccardi, and Susan Kaup were the lucky students of : Somerville High who attended. Mr. Cyrus Dugin, music critic par excel- lence, of Boston, introduced the team, not mentioning which was which. After Mr. Hammerstein had spoken for a few minutes, Mr. Rodgers got up and mentioned the fact that they had not been identifed, so he cleared up the matter by saying, “I’m the other one.” We also learned that both Rodgers and Hammerstein attended Columbia University although Rodgers entered seven years after Hammerstein did. After Columbia, Mr. Ham- -jnerstein attended Columbia Law School, and Mr. Rodgers went to the Julliard School of £ music. The two men both agree that their most successful works are “Oklahoma” and “South Pacific.” Little do we realize when we go to the theatre or sit in the movies to enjoy a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, that it represents a full year of hard work. Audi- tions for the parts in the story are held all year round, whether a show is going on or not. Also, they completely finance their own productions. They si oke about how very few of their musicals have a moral lesson. But there is somewhat of a message to humanity in “South Pacific,” and “The King and I.” Among their other shows which have brought joy to millions are “Me and Juliet,” “Carousel,” “Allegro,” and their newest ef- fort, “Flower Drum Song,” which opened in Boston recently. Since the cast of “Flower Drum Song” was made largely of orientals, the gentlemen spoke of how the auditions for the parts in the play were held in Hawaii, San Francisco’s Chinatown, New York’s Chinatown, and in many other parts of the world. This is just one illustration of how Rodgers and Hammerstein value the effect of good casting. We also found out that the two great talents got together in 1943, and that they honestly work better sometimes when they have a deadline to meet. When asked how he regulated the hours that he worked, Mr. Hammerstein reported that he was more of an early riser and worker, while Mr. Rodgers got a great deal of his work done later in the day. -U Thrac $PP ? 5 59 Mr. Rodgers spoke about his first big break when he had to write a review of an amateur show sponsored by the Theatre Guild. In 1920 Mr. Hammerstein had some lyrics he had written and Mr. Rodgers wrote the music for them. After that the great two- some made plans to stay together. When asked if they ever thought they could do better apart, Mr. Rodgers and Mr. Hammerstein both agreed that they wouldn’t have it any other way. After about an hour and a half of ques- tions, the gentlemen had to return to the rehearsal of their new musical “Flower Drum Song.” But before they left they informed us of the musical they were planning to do next. It will be from the book, “Autobi- ography of the Trapp Family.” As they left one could not help but think “Hats off to two great men who have set millions of American hearts singing.” LETTERS TO THE EDITOR! Dear Editor: Why is it that elections have become a I opularity contest and well-qualified, but not- so-popuplar students are pushed into the shadows ? Well-qualified, but not-so-popular, Lizzy. Dear Editor: Will you please tell me why there are so many sophomores at Senior Lunch occupying seats and forcing the seniors to stand up while eating? A Furious Senior Dear Editor: Have you any sympathy for us poor, ever- tired, run-down students? We spend out time racing, skidding and sliding down the corri- dors trying to get from class to class. Hon- estly, we’re sick and tired of this giant-sized obstiicle course! Our programs are just too full to handle. But we have a solution—Why not have six half-hour periods instead of five fifty-minute periods? That way an un- derprivileged, hard-workng slob can have a breathing space for at least one hour a day, the healthy extrovert can have twice as much time for activities, and the shy, sleepy kids can rest to their heart’s content. Healthy Extrovert WeVe Still Up There N. E. S. P. A. CONVENTION The 11th annual New England Scholastic Press Association Conference was held at Boston University’s new School of Public Relations Communications on Common- wealth Avenue in Boston on October 17 and 18. The 1959 Yearbook Editor, Dorothy Thorne and Radiator Editor, Janet Reste- ghini attended to represent the school. On Friday at noon there were guided tours of the new building and exhibits of New England scholastic press newspapers, maga- zines and yearbooks. After the tour, a Gen- eral Session was held to hear talks by Pro- fessor Robert Baram, Director of NESPA, and Dr. Joseph A. Del Porto, the Director of Journalism at B.U. Dr. Melvin Brodshaugh, Dean of the School of Public Relations and Communications, greeted the assemblage of more than five hundred delegates from Con- necticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts. Seminars in Journalism included such lec- tures as Feature Writing, Staff Selection- Assignments, Photography-Photo Editing, and Fiction Writing for Scholastic Maga- zines. Later in the afternoon the NESPA Scholar- ship examination was held. After dinner there was an open forum for the discussion of mutual problems and journalistic policies. Professor Baram mode- rated the panel of Boston University News staff editors. The convention resumed Saturday morn- ing at 9:00 with lectures on Financing the Scholastic Publications, Magazine Content and Mark-up; and Writing the Column. Next on the schedule was the “Awards Luncheon” at the Hotel Somerset, at which it was announced that the Radiator of last year attained “Highest Achievement,” and the ’58 Yearbook “Superior Achievement,” Four in competition with magazines and yearbooks from public and private schools all over New England. At this time Janet Resteghini was selected as one of ten semi-finalists in the N. E. S. P. A. Scholarship Examination, out of the fifty-seven who wrote essays Friday on “Functions of a Good Newspaper,” and “Im- proving Your Home-Town Newspaper.” The ’58 Convention closed with the Boston University vs. Pennsylvania State University football game. CAREERS IN THE HEALTH SCIENCES A career in Health probably offers more op- portunity for advancement than any other field, because health services are becoming more and more vital in our lives with our in- creasing population and accident rate. This field also rewards workers with inner happi- ness knowing that the work lessens the suf- fering of others. Often, when we take an aspirin to relieve a a headache, we do not think back to who in- vented aspirin. Yet we have been preceded by many health pioneers, who have, through their unselfish work, made it possible for us to recover from the dread disease, such as tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is a contagious disease charac- terized often by the occurrence of small round bodies known as tubercles. These are rounded collections of new cells of different kinds, and usually contain bacilli. Previously, many people caught tubercu- losis from milk. That worry is now eliminated, because all cattle are inspected periodically for the disease, and all our milk is pasteu- rized. Tuberculosis can be prevented by cleanli- ness, sunshine and annual x-rays. It is up to us, as the future leaders of the world to prevent contracting tuberculosis and other serious diseases by following good health habits, if possible, by studying for a health science career such as doctor, dentist, or physio-therapist, by keeping ourselves healthy we can all be considered pioneers in the field of health. THE SCIENCE ASSEMBLY Sandra Cappucci ’59 Last October 6, Mr. Gray, Exhibits Man- ager of the Atomic Energy Commission at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, presented a program in our auditorium entitled “This Atomic World.” All Math and Science pupils attended the assembly. In easy-to-understand lan- guage the demonstrator explained various topics concerning atoms with the aid of boards or colored lights and working models. Generally putting across the thought that atoms weren’t boring at all, Mr. Gray dis- cussed Atomic Structure (Electron, Proton, Neutron; Isotopes; Particle Accelerators (Van de Graff, cyclotron, bevatron, and linear); Radioactivty, Fission, Chain Re- action, Control of Chain Reaction, Reactor Parts, (nuclear fuels, Uranium, Thorium, Plutonium), uses of Reactors, and Radios- topes aud their Uses. The use of reactors in the production of electricity was stressed and surprised pupils learned that it is a reality in some locations. Also stressed were radioisotopes and their uses in medicine, agriculture and industry. This was well-presented, fast moving, and undoubtedly a big help to all science students. We all hope this type of lecture will be pre- sented in our auditorium again in the near future. Five THEY NOW KNOW THE INSIDE STORY On November 6, Peter Vidito, representing the Junior Class, Marilyn McKenna, Senior, the “Poster Girl for '59, and Pauline Amber representing the SHS Home Economics De- partment, attended a Breakfast Press Con- ference sponsored by the Greater Boston Better Breakfast Committee of the New England Dairy and Food Council. The com- mittee is comprised of leaders in the field of Left to right: Richord Lovin, Jill Gifford, Tom Flonnigori, Morilyn McKcnno. of education, nutrition, and public health. The conference was held at The Boston Club on Beacon Street, in Boston. Each year advanced research has proved conclusively that Breakfast, the most vital meal of the day is often neglected. Unfor- tunately many teen-agers fail to eat adequate breakfasts. They are unaware that nutrition- al negligence at this time of their lives can lead to physical inadequacies that may hinder them in their present activities as well as in attaining their future goals. After a sumptuous breakfast of hot baked apples with ice cream, honeydew melon, a heaping bowl of hot oatmeal with plenty of cream and sugar, scrambled eggs and bacon, all sorts of danish pastries, assorted hot muf- fins and rolls, and plenty of milk, a panel of well known personalities with their knowl- edge of nutrition and the actual needs of the body, spoke about the importance of well- balanced breakfasts. The panel included Fernie Flaman, of the Boston Bruins; Maribel Vincent Owen, form- er Olympic skating champion and trainer of Tenley Albright; Commander Thomas Col- lins of the U. S. Naval Airforce, Dave Rod- man, WNAC-TV, newsman; and Alice Leven- thal, Chairman of the Boston Better Break- fast Committee, who was the M.C. Commander Collins stressed that a vitamin packed breakfast is of prime importance for airmen to bear up under the stresses of flying. He added that smoking definitely im- pairs vision and the judgment of distances. Fernie Flaman, who gets up at four each morning to practice with the Bruins, said, “The hockey players are in bed at eleven or even ten some nights. On the night before a game there is strict enforcement of this rule. If a player performs poorly at practice the answer is usually that he has not eaten enough breakfast. We take the juice of oranges for a quick energy pick-up. Maribel Vincent Owen who began her ac- quaintance with skating when she was two years old, is up at five every day. “Precision in figure skating and the stamina required in long hours of skating can be possible only with the proper fuel and that means good food, properly cooked. Tenley Albright likes to eat a lot of all kinds of cheese to give her the extra nutritional value she needs for her rigorous practice.” Dave Rodman and Alice Leventhal both agreed, “Breakfast is like a furnace, no feeding, no working.” Another factor to remember is that break- fast should include one-third of your caloric intake for the day. So, start off the day with a sunny smile and sit down to a good, vita- min-packed breakfast. It will do wonders for you. Your classmates will notice your im- proved personality, too. Six IN THE NAME OF SPORTS Leonard Flynn ’59 The sport of football is erroneously labeled “a game.” Football is no more of “a game” than any other sport where a person is driven to a frenzied pitch to win, to conquer, and to vanquish. What is this compelling force which drives a person to the limit of his physical abili- ties, to punish his body until every muscle aches and every nerve screams from tension? Is it all one moment of glory, or to be able to say, “I’m on the team”? But what glory is there in dirt, complete exhaustion, bruised muscles and aching bones? Match one team against another, and although they have never seen one another, they spontane- eously become deadly adversaries, each want- ing to defeat the other------each willing to pay any price for victory. Some people call it team spirit or the will to win, but it is really the desire to prove one- self. The players practice their “game” until the perspiration clouds their vision. Constant- ly driven by the thought of being a hero, any player would gladly give his last bit of strength to snatch victory from defeat. But, is the victory worth the price? Is it worth the aches and pains, the bruises, the bleeding, the hours of practice and the complete ex- haustion which follows a game? Sports are brutal groups of physical competitions in which all that is important is victory. There is no place for defeat in sports. It is suited for only the strong, who can endure its pun- ishment and pay its price. Sports are “games” only for fools. But, then, who am I to call one a fool when I would gladly give my strength, my blood, my sweat for “victory.” Seven Can You Find Yourself in this Crowd? 1.

Isn’t this a scant number of NHS members considering the group of seniors we have at SHS ? Last year, thirty-nine seniors were mem- bers of the National Honor Society when they graduated. For the last few years the number has been declining. What is the rea- son for this? Do you qualify for National Honor? You very well could, you know. The requirements for this organization are well within the reach of every high school student. Each spring, members of the faculty offer the names of students of the junior class who might be considered for National Honor. Any teacher may nominate any student on the basis of the four qualifications of leadership, scholarship, character, and service. Good marks are not the only prerequisite. Service and cooperation are also required. If the student plans to attend college, be- ing a member of National Honor is one of the best references he or she can offer to a university. If, on the other hand, the student plans to enter the business world immediately following graduation, National Honor mem- bership should indicate to a person hiring him that he will be a truly valuable addition to the firm. As for leadership, a pupil should be active in the classroom; volunteering to recite, listening attentively while the teacher is talk- ing, and, in general, being a good addition to the class. Also, being active in one or more of the many clubs in school will be a good quali- fication to have. A pupil should have origi- nality in his ideas and reasonings and be the type of person the rest of a group listens to and respects. Character is a quality that makes people trust us, obey us, respect us, and most im- portant of all, imitate us. Character is as much a part of us as our name and we are known to others by it. Whether it is good or bad, it is our contribution to society. Service is that extra effort that makes your school an important part of your life. It is a cooperation that alone shows you are interested. It is not martyrdom or a thirst for publicity, but a true inner will to be of help Eight in making the dance a success, or cheering the team to victory, for example. The ways of service are as varied and different as peo- ple themselves, and at Somerville High there are many opportunities to be useful and beneficial. As for scholarship, any student who is really interested in learning and who shows the simple courtesy cf paying attention in class, can have good scholarship. The matter is entirely up to him. Every pupil in the school should try to be- come a member of this distinguished organi- zation, and perhaps next year the picture of the group will take a full page. From this group of National Honor members chosen each year, the future educational, scientific, political, social and business leaders will emerge. TIME TO BE NEGATIVE On Monday, September 29, the Mantoux tuberculin test was given to ninety-six per cent of the entire high school student body. The purpose of the test was to determine whether or not their bodies contained any tuberculosis germs. The members of the faculty demonstrated their co-operation by also participating in the program. A small portion of clear fluid called tuber- culin is injected into each participant. Three days later the place on the arm where the test was made w s examined by a doctor or nurse who checked the patch for size, shape, and color, in order to ascertain whether the test was negative—meaning that there were no tuberculosis germs pres- ent in the body, or if it was positive — meaning that germs were present in the body, but not necessarily active. Then the person was x-rayed to find out whether the germs had, as yet, done any damage. Tuberculosis is not an inherited disease, as so many people think, but a contagious one that spreads from person to person and can strike at any age. Since 1955, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health has carried on an extensive program of tuberculin testing in our schools Miss Sccnlon, Miss Conning, Jock Burgess, B'ob Murray in an effort to curb any growth in the spread of TB. By checking your health regularly you can do your part to wipe out this dread disease. GIVE THANKS Nancy Clark '60 At this Thanksgiving season, stop what- ever you are doing and meditate; carefully turn over in your mind all the joy, sadness of your daily life and, yes, count your bles- sings. Thank God for this time of peace and ask Him to let it stay that way. Thank God fc-r keeping you and your family healthy and safe. Thank Him for the food on your table and the clothes on your back. Thank Him for this splendid country of ours and the right to live freely in it. Thank Him, pray to Him, and show your thanks in some way, perhaps by buying a turkey with all the trimmings for a family less fortunate than yours. Do this and get the “generosity glow”, a glow that will spread through your whole being. THANKSGIVING Janet Resteghini 59 Thanksgiving awakes us one morning To the smell of baking mince pies To the look of the crisp Autumn sunshine And the laughter in children's eyes. Nine Actions Speak Louder Than Words 1. Corol Varney, Geraldine DiBono 2. Christine Dischino, Virginia Smith, Joseph Morris, Joyce Andelman, Anna Piccolo. RED FEATHER VOLUNTEERS How did you spend your summer? For many teenagers in Greater Boston, this was a pleasant and worthwhile summer. Some volunteered their time and energy at various jobs at Red Feather Agencies in Boston, do- ing clerical work, helping in hospitals, and leading children’s groups. One girl sums up her experiences: “I have thought for a long time that I would go into some branch of medicine. Working in the hospital wards helped me to gain a better understanding of the many duties involved.” The volunteers from SHS, the number of hours contributed and'the places where they worked, are as follows: Joseph Morris, 138 hours at the East End Union, Cambridge; Virginia Smith 107 hours, Joyce Andelman 78 hours, Christine Dischino 75 hours, Anna Piccolo, 45 hours at the Cambridge City Hos- pital; Albert Bowen, 99 hours at the New England Medical Center; Hazel Michniewicz, 66% hours at the New England Deaconess Hospital; Geraldine DiBona 44 hours at the Middlesex Health Association; Patricia Di- Cillis 24 hours at the Middlesex Health Association; Joan Ann MacMullin 16 hours, Greater Boston United Fund; Nancy Swett, 12 hours, Junior Leader Campfire Girls. At the Mason Memorial Building, in Bos- ton on September 19, 1958, a Recognition Program was held, honoring the seven hun- dred and fourteen Greater Boston High School students who gave an accumulated 55,000 hours of volunteer service. THE HARVARD BOOK PRIZE Last June at a Junior Class assembly, Mr. Hoban, Building Master, presented the Har- vard Book Prize to George Catino ’59, for his commendable scholastic record during his sophomore and junior year. The Harvard Club of Boston awards this prize each year to the top boy, scholastically, in the Junior class. George works as a counter boy in his spare time. He is constantly on the Maximum Credit and Credit lists, and excels in science and mathematics. One of his interests is fish. He once owned and cared for his own aquarium. Ten A VISIT TO THE BOSTON GLOBE’S NEW $13,000,000 PLANT The newspaper is an item taken for granted in our daily living:, but is of much importance in the Boston Globe’s new news- paper building on Morrissey Boulevard. The Boston Globe, for many years a dependable servant cf greater Boston, has finally realized a dream it had cherished in its heart for a long time; and the realization of this dream is a stunning modernistic building strategi- cally located adjacent to the Southeast Ex- pressway and containing the finest equip- ment for efficient operation. The plant is divided into many depart- ments which synchronize like a well-oiled clock. The first stop is the Photo-Engraving De- partment, where the news to be printed is etched on zinc plates and treated with acid to remove the excess particles of zinc to make the plates clear and neat. In the Composing Room these small plates are fitted together in metal trays like a jig-saw puzzle. The trays are the size of a page in a newspaper. These trays are then taken to the Stereotype Job Room where they are used to make papier- mache impressions. These impressions are curved and then used as molds to make heavy metal plates. The plates must be curved because the presses are curved. Later on the plates can be melted down and the metal used again in making plates for other issues. In the Pressroom, huge sheets of paper are fed into the enormous presses, on which the metal plates containing the news have previously been placed. The paper is then cut to regular specifications. The assembled newspapers are placed on a vertical conveyor belt which sends them upstairs to be counted, sorted, and placed in the Globe’s famous green trucks for delivery. The new plant is in many ways superior to the old building on Milk Street in Boston. In this plant there is a huge warehouse where the tons of paper used daily are stored. Before this plant came into existence, the Globe had to ship their paper in almost every day, for there was no way to keep a supply on hand. Also colored sections of the paper, such as the comic strips and magazines, could not be printed on the premises before. Now in these modern surroundings the Globe has at last, the facilities to produce the best work that they are capable of. And just to prove this point, the Globe can now produce 52 thousand papers an hour and in the future will be capable of much more. The tour of this building instills in one the true meaning of America and one of its finest principles—Freedom of the Press. TYPICAL STUDENTS Dorothy Thorne 59 The last bell rings in the morning. And quickly we students rush in, Anxious to work and study hard, So now let the school day begin. The signal is given, and out we run Into the corridors, jostling about, Trying to find our first period class. Amid many a cheer and a shout. Now, after a few hours of classes, The moment finally comes When we rush downstairs to eat And talk with our many chums. Then back to classes again Where we dream of the happy time When the two o’clock bell will ring. It rings! And home we all rush to pine Over our homework for hours and hours, Until we are sure that it’s done To the best of our ability, And then we go out for some fun. We spend some time at the movies, Or, maybe go with “the gang” Down to the soda shop to dance for a while. Oops! The curfew just rang! Home again we race, because Now we must end our play. And get some rest, for tomorrow Is another busy day. CXMIKXJCaCDC Eleven Meet the Editors Left to right: Janet Restcghini and Dorothy Thorne in o borrowed MGA roadster. If you run into a cute, tiny brunette near the Editorial Room someday, you can be sure it’s Janet Resteghini, Editor of the “Radi- ator.” She will probably be on her way to the office with a notice for the bulletin, to the printer with some copy, or else she’ll be making a “mad dash” to her next class (yes, she even finds time for classes.) Besides carrying out her editorial duties, Janet is an active member of the Yearbook Staff and the Student Council. In her junior year, Janet was a member of the Class Day Honor Guard, and the Radiator Staff, and was elected to the National Honor Society; she was a member of the Pep Club in her sophomore year. Every day, after school, Janet works in the offices of the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. Recently Janet competed with approxi- mately sixty journalists from all over New England in an essay contest for an $1,800 scholarship, and was chosen one of the ten finalists. If Janet receives this scholarship, she will enter the Boston University School of Public Relations and Communications next September and major in Journalism. When Janet’s not busy writing, working, or doing homework, she knits! She is quite an expert on making sweaters, mittens, etc. (We also hear she has a profound interest in Harvard Law School.) We wish you luck, Janet, as you travel through your senior year, and for many years after, and we look forward to reading your brilliant novels in the future. Want the personification of school spirit? Then Dottie Thorne is what you’re looking for. If you ever have a cause that will be worthwhile to the school, this tall, green- eyed miss will be the first to come to the rescue. She’s the gal who’s been haunting you to return your proofs, bring in your data cards, and for dozens of other Yearbook matters. In her Sophomore year, Dottie’s activities included: Receiving her 4-inch letter in GAA for Badminton, Basketball, and Swim- ming. She is also a member of Players’ Club, Entertainment Group, and the Junior Community Chorus. During her junior year she was a mem- ber of the Players’ Club, the Girls’ Choir, the Glee Club and a contributing editor on the Radiator Staff. She also received her 6-inch letter in GAA, this time for Bad- minton, Bowling, Golf and Softball. And now in her senior year, Dottie is active in the Players’ Club, Radiator Staff, and Editor of the Yearbook. She is hoping to receive her pin this year in GAA for Bad- minton, Golf and Bowling. She is also a mem- ber of the Student Council and may be seen busy learning her lines for the role of Joan White, a school girl, in the Harriet M. Bell Scholarship Play to be put on in January. Dottie’s main hobbies are eating (her favorite food is fried rice), playing the piano, reading, sewing, and listening to Johnnie Ray records. (She cries when he cries in his tear-jerking songs.) Her first love, however, is stuffed animals, especially dogs (not particularly hot). In her spare time (where she gets it no one knows), she is a Rainbow Girl, a member of M. Y. F. an da second-grade Sunday School teacher. Dottie hopes to go either to the University of Massachusetts or Northeastern next fall, and major in psychology. With your per- sonality, perseverance and pep, Dottie, you are sure to be welcomed on any college campus, and a success in all your endeavors. Twelve THE BLIND DATE Carmen Gailey ’59 Helen Carter, a dark, curly-headed young beauty, stared out of her window as the rain beat down on her lovely flowers. Her eyes wandered over to where her convertible was parked, and she noticed that the top wasn’t up. In a rage, Helen hurried into the room and asked, “Who did it? Who forgot to put the top up?” If you will calm down for a minute, I’ll ex- plain,” replied her brother Joe. ‘T wish somebody would! It will take weeks before it dries out, and heaven only knows if the seat covers will survive after such a beating and with the party only two days away! What will I do? I’ve got a blind date that night and I’m supposed to furnish the transportation! What am I---------” “Pete borrowed it,” her brother interrupt- ed. “He needed it to go downtown for some equipment for his own car.” Helen started at Joe with a question on her face. Then with a very indignant voice she asked, “And just who is Pete?” “He’s a new boy in town. Just moved here two weeks ago,” replied her brother in a matter-of-fact tone of voice. “Do you mean that new boy who has the ’58 Ford convertible?” “Uh-huh,” grunted her brother. “Well!” she exclaimed and with that, grab- bed her raincoat and hurried towards the door. “Where are you going?” questioned her brother. “I’m going to wash out Pete’s car for him. That’s the least I can do.” “Oh,” replied her brother and sat down. By the time her remark had seeped into his brain, Helen was half way down the street. “Those two! I don’t know what I’ll ever do with them,” replied her mother as she closed the door behind Joe. By the time Joe had caught up with Helen, it was too late for she had already lowered the top of Pete’s convertible. “What’s good for the goose is certainly good for the gander,” he heard her reply as he approached her. “If you had waited,” he yelled, “I would have told you that Pete tried to put the top up, but the button was stuck. He went home to get some canvas to keep your car dry until the rain stopped, and then he was going to fix it for you.” “Oh!” she cried, and ran up the street. “What will I do?” she thought. As she turn- ed in the driveway, she looked back to see Pete run up, look at his car, and then sharply glance at her. “Oh!” she exclaimed and ran into the house. “Quick, mom, lock all the doors and windows!” “Now wait a minute,” her mother pro- tested. “What’s going-------” “Don’t ask any questions now,” interrupt- ed Helen and ran upstairs to lock the win- dows. After checking them, she ran down- stairs again to check the doors but found her- self face to face with Pete. “Oh — hi there — see you later?” With that she ran for the stairs, but before she could make it, Pete had her by the arm. “Now, young lady,” he said with a sly smile on his face, you’ve got some tall work ahead of you, such as bailing out my car, cleaning the interior, mending the seat cov- THirteen ers, and fixing the radio if necessary. I’ll ex- pect you at eight o’clock sharp.” “Now, wait a minute. What about my car? Just look at it!” she pouted and ran to the window, “It’s--------It’s-------Her mouth dropped in amazement. THE TOP WAS UP! “I finally got the button in working con- dition again,” he said, “The rain didn’t even reach the pedals. “But---------” she continued. “Don’t forget, eight o’clock sharp!” With that, he pulled his coat up around his neck and ran down the street. Helen didn’t sleep well that night, for Pete's handsome face and sly smile haunted her. Eight o’clock came quickly for her. She dragged herself out of bed and started down to Pete’s house. Pete was already waiting when she arrived. “You’re late!” was his first remark. He said not even good morning or how are you. I could be dying on my feet for all he cares, she thought. Helen stood there staring at him, hiding her anger. He came closer to her, and her knees trembled. He came so close, she could feel his breath on her cheek. Sud- denly, he took her hand and as he did this, her heart began to beat widly. Then Pete stood away and said, “Now, get busy.” Anger flared up in Helen when she looked at the hand he had so gently touched and found suspended from it a bucket and a sponge. Helen worked all morning, bailing all the water out of the car, cleaning the interior, and mending the seat covers. Fortunately the radio wasn’t damaged. When she was finish- ed, she walked up to Pete’s door and rang the bell. Pete came to the door and Helen walked up to him with dreamy eyes and said, “Pete?” Pete stood staring at her and said, “Yes?” “Pete?” she said, her hand sliding up to his neck. Just like a girl, he thought. As he bent forward, Helen pushed the wet sponge in his face and said, “Pete, you need a towel.” Pete stood there watching her fly up the street with her hair blowing in the breeze and her laughter still echoing in his ears. Helen didn’t see Pete at all after that day. Finally, the night of the party came, and Helen sat in the parlor anxiously waiting for her blind date to arrive. At eight-sharp the door bell rang. Helen ran to answer it and as she opened the door, she stared into the sly smile of Pete. “Pete!” she exclaimed. “Is all forgiven?” he asked, extending his hand in a friendly gesture. Turning her head she replied, “Of course. I’ll get my coat.” She timidly handed her coat to Pete, and he help- ed her on with it. As they walked to his car, Helen thanked her lucky stars that the night was dark enough to hide her excitement and most of all her blushes. SEASON OF PLENTY Janies Kakos ’60 It’s harvest time and the cornfields are golden, the mellow days are short, and the sunset is a misty red. The farmer is proud of his crop and is content with his year’s work. The smell of burning leaves, the sight of sparkling dew on the bright orange pum- pkins at dawn, the wisp of fragrance from the kitchen, mean it’s Thanksgiving time once more. Relatives come from far and near —cousins, aunts, uncles, and a few friends. While pies are baking and turkeys are bast- ing, the old and young sit down and talk, waiting for the feast of Thankfulness. Fourteen THE CHURCH BELL Richard .Marlin ’60 The church bell is ringing. In loud, lively tones; It seems to be saying, “Get up, lazy bones.” The children are strolling, They all look so neat; The bell calls their parents. In church they will meet. Its sound is so thrilling, We speak not a word; It vibrates so loudly. For miles it is heard. A PICTURE OF YOU William Barrow ’60 A picture of you For one of me, To have through life As a memory. We swap our snaps With friends and foes And on the back The Blarney flows. Though full of praise They will have sung Of golden days When we were young. HALLOWE’EN Isabelle Warnock ’59 The sound of children’s laughter Drifts through the door to me And takes me on a tour back to A childhood memory. When goblins, ghosts, and witches too, Seemed real enough to touch And Hallowe’en had seemed to me To mean so very much. I think now as I sit here. Of all the time gone by, And melancholy thoughts provoke A carefree little sigh. As I hear their hearty laughter To me it really seems That I am just a child once more. For just this Hallowe’en. THANKSGIVING Isabelle Warnock ’59 We have so much in this dear land of love and liberty That we often forget the ones less fortunate than we, Those, who oppressed in foreign lands are struggling every day To gain the freedom we here now possess in every way. Some of them are hungry and have no place to stay And it must be faith that holds them up along their lonely way, And so as our Thanksgiving Day draws near, let us resolve That we shall not deny their pleas but for them to strive to solve With all our strength and vigor the problems that we see Until on next Thanksgiving Day the whole world may be Because of all our strivings, as thankful as are we. PRELUDE Janet Resteghini ’59 Around me trees are gray and bare, Winter will toss her silver hair. And sing to us her icicle song, Of days that are coming, cold and long. Hurry, my children, can’t you hear? Gather the apples and pumpkins near. Chop the wood and put it around Before tiny snowflakes cover the ground. But as you are working, little ones, Be not too happy and gay. For our dear red and gold friend, the Autumn Is slowly passing away. UNPOSSESSED Janet Resteghini 59 Eyes of Egypt, slant and green, Tell me what your depths have seen ? Have you traversed far and wide, On yonder hill and countryside? Tell me your story, my little cat, Have you tangled with this and that? I can only sit and wait. And never scold when you are late. For a cat is a noble and intelligent thing. That no one can own, for joy to bring. So all his life he will wander free. And can never really belong to me. Fifteen WHICH WAITER? Mary Andrade '60 Dark haired, brown-eyed Susan Parker was sluggishly yawning. She had not been able to catch two winks of sleep all night. The alarm sounded at three o’clock, remind- ing her, as she jumped out of bed, of the two months of enjoyment to come. She had been waiting five months for this day of departure for Europe. As she fumbled with her bath- robe, she ran out of the darkened room, bumping into luggage parked in the hall out- side her room. She was so excited she decided to slide down the bannister, something she had never before attempted . . . There she was at the base of the staircase, feet up. She happily re- trieved her stand, skipped into the kitchen, and simultaneously rendered an unusually cheerful good-morning to her mother and father, and gulped down her breakfast, for they still had a six-hour ride from Boston to New York. Upon arriving, at Pier 88 where they were to board the T. S. S. Olympia, they admir- ingly looked at what was to be their home for six days. There it was, like a floating pal- ace with the rays of the sun illuminating its new coat of white paint. Susan and her mother were so infatuated with this sight that they almost forgot to bid farewell to poor Dad, who for two months was to enjoy the European trip vicariously through Mom’s and Susie’s letters. “Good-bye, Daddy, and I’ll miss you, and don’t forget to feed the kittens and don’t for- get the canary and be a good boy.” “Good-bye, Susie, Be a good girl and please don’t think up any new schemes about any- thing.” “Okay, Daddy, I promise.” “Good-bye, John. Don’t forget to write. Take care of the house. Don’t forget to write. Good-bye, dear.” (SnifT) “Don’t forget to write.” “Good-bye, Helen, Be sure to enjoy your- self and don’t worry about the house.” “Good-bye.” “Good-bye.” “Good-bye.” “Good-bye.” At six o’clock Susan was comfortably rest- ing in her stateroom after a fatiguing day of riding and unpacking. “Susan, are you coming to dinner?” “I will if I can get out of this comfortable chair.” “Well, you’d better hurry. It’s almost 6:15 and I don’t want to miss the first dinner of our trip.” Susan and Mother arrived in the dining room at exactly 6:15. A pleasant-looking young man, dressed in a spotless white dinner jacket, approached them and designated to them a table at the far side of the room beside a window over- looking the peaceful Atlantic. When they were comfortably seated with the help of their waiter, a tall, elegant creature, as Susan referred to him, with a grey jacket, black trousers, a white shirt and a black bow tie, gave them the menu and took their orders. As he left Susan said, “Mother, I’m in love.” “Oh, Susan, we just came aboard not more than four hours ago. Who could you possibly be in love with ?” “Really, Mother, I can feel it.” “My dear child, who are you in love with this time?” Sixteen “Mother, don’t you know?” “No.” “Our waiter. Isn't he handsome?” “Don’t be silly, Susan. You just saw him now for the first time.” “Mother, haven’t you ever heard of love at first sight? Sh! Here he comes.” For the six days of their sea voyage Susan tried to spend as much time as she could in the dining room to talk to Nick, which she later discovered was his name, for the per- sonnel were not allowed to mingle with the passengers. Of course, she couldn’t spend all her life in the dining room so she was trying to devise a scheme in which she could see Nick outside the dining room, but, remem- bering her father’s parting words she decided she had better not get herself into trouble. On the fourth day of their voyage the ship landed at Halifax, Nova Scotia, and for five glorious hours Susan and Nick went sight- seeing. Two days later they arrived at Lisbon, where the tour of Europe was to begin. At breakfast, Susan, with a handkerchief full of tears, said her final good-bye to Nick, hoping to see him again on her return trip. Touring Lisbon, Gibraltar, Malaga, Barce- lona, and Cannes, Susan was still dreaming of Nick. Touring Naples, Messina, Corfu, and Crete, her mother was beginning to see signs of life again in Susan. But, when they came to Athens, Nick’s home, Susan began to swoon again. Through Odessa and Yalta she was determined not to forget Nick, and poor mother was also beginning to become sad with the love life of her daughter. But tour- ing Sochi, Istanbul, Rhodes, Haifa, and Alex- andria, Susan really showed signs of re- covery, and through Malta, Casablanca, and back to Lisbon, Susan mentioned nothing whatsoever about Nick. Yes, the glorious day had finally arrived when Susan was to board the T. S. S. Olym- pia. This time the scene in their stateroom was different. “Mother, you don’t have to change your clothes, you look wonderful.” “It’ll take only a minute, dear.” “But, mother, we’ll be late for dinner.” “All right, dear, let's go.” Susan ran all the way to the dining room, dragging her mother along with behind her. They were greeted by the same young man and assigned to a table. But where was Nick? Susan searched the room from table to table and checked the waiters coming through the swinging doors with their arms covered with trays, but Nick was nowhere in sight. “Mother, he’s not here.” “Now, dear, he must be here somewhere.” “But, Mother, I know he’s not here.” “Susan, stop acting like a child.” While Susan was panting, a young man walked to their table, waiting, ready to take their order. He was dressed in the usual grey jacket, black trousers, white shirt ,and black bow tie, but, there was something at- tractive to Susan about this dark-haired, blue-eyed young man. “Mother, I’m in love.” “Please, Susan, not another waiter.” “Mother, you don’t understand.” “Yes, dear, I understand perfectly, but, what about that other poor boy ?” “Mother, you don’t expect me to brood over him forever? I have to try to forget him.” “Yes, dear.” “Isn’t he adorable? And isn’t that Greek accent cute?” Again Susan went sight-seeing, but this time his name was Gus. And again Susan spent all the time she could in the dining room talking to Gus. “Susan, if you don’t leave that poor boy alone, you’ll get him fired.” Seventeen “Mother, don’t be absurd.” In her stateroom that night Susan was restless and looked worried. “Susie, dear, what is the matter?” “Mother, please don’t call me that, that foolish name.” “Then, Susan, what are you so unhappy about? You ought to be happy. You’re just back from a wonderful trip and now we’re going home to Daddy.” “I’m miserable. I can’t decide whether I like Gus or Nick. They’re both so cute.” “When we get home you’ll soon forget, them.” At the sight of the Statue of Liberty Susan went from the deck to the dining room to have her lunch and say good-bye to Gus. She ate slowly and pensively, and ling- ered as long as possible, but Gus was nowhere to be seen. After they disembarked, father met them with a big hello and many questions about their trip. In the way through Customs, Susan chattered excitedly about the trip and her new love life. Suddenly, she spied a hand- some young Adonis just ahead of them in the line. “Mother,” she whispered, “I’m in love!” MUSING Michael Grossman ’60 “No school for four days straight, but of course we’ll have to put up with Uncle Harvey’s jokes all Thanksgiving Day. I really can’t complain though; I guess the Pilgrims would rather have put up with Uncle Har- vey’s jokes than their hardships. I must be pretty lucky to live around here with all my friends and family, and lucky even to go to school. The Pilgrims couldn’t go to school very much. There was always something to be done at home—planting, cultivating, then the harvesting. In winter, everyone worked hard, just to keep warm and get food. I wonder what this place looked like three hundred years ago—Log cabins and turkeys and Indians. They probably have Thanks- giving to make you think of these things. Besides, my mom is a good cook. THE CONTEST Warren Mahady ’59 In 1970 A.D. some of Earth’s overcrowded population was sent to colonize Mars, be- cause Mars was the only other planet in our solar system on which men could survive. Man had reached the highest point of civi- lization. War had long been outlawed with the invention of the devastating cobalt bomb, powerful enough to obliterate all forms of life on earth. If you have studied astronomy you know Mars is void of almost all water. Using its polar caps to irrigate the deserts for centu- ries gradually reduced the water on Mars to emergency rationing. Meanwhile, Earth had been revolving closer to the sun for centuries, and its oceans had gradually dried up. By 2000 A.D. the water shortage reached a crisis on both planets. With both planets’ water supply almost gone, it seemed the only source of water lay on Venus. But there was only enough water on Venus for one planet to to survive. If both used it, it would dry up soon and both planets would die. Earth and Mars both had the cobalt bomb. With the missile radar warning system, there could be no surprise attack on one planet without the same, instant retaliation upon the attacker. So I bring you to 2000 A.D. on Asteroid 15, located halfway between the two planets. The leaders of Earth and Mars are gathered to discuss peaceful means of solving the gravest problem ever to face the two planets. Eigktoen Soon it became apparent there weren’t any peaceful settlements. The war chief of Mars arose, and gravely strode to the middle of the council. “One planet may live; and one must die! This is my solution. In one month, one man will be selected from Earth, and one from Mars. Here on this asteroid they will fight it out with stones as primitive man on Earth did. A guided missile with a cobalt bomb will be placed at the apex of a triangle two piles of stones and a club, with separa- ting space of one hundred yards. So it was agreed. As scon as word reached Earth, contests of wrestling, judo, and hurling took place. After all sorts of physical and mental tests the best specimen of manhood that could be found was Wyatt Thomas. One month later Wyatt arrived on Aste- roid 15, and found the Martians already waiting. After final good-byes and good luck wishes, the other Martians and Earthmen took off and both men were left alone. Wyatt glanced at the powerfully sleek mis- sile, poised and ready. Near it were placed two levers, put there by the Earthmen who installed the missile. One lever was red; one lever was blue. If the red one were pulled, in an instant Mars would be reduced to dust. The blue lever would do the same to Earth. With this frightening possibility burning in his mind, Wyatt studied the Martian, whose name he learned was Zeus. Physically, due to the lower gravity of Mars, he was nothing to the well-built Wyatt. After many hours of vigorous fighting Wyatt reached his last rock. This he hurled at the Martian, and broke into a frantic run for the levers. “Must get to that lever! Can’t let Earth down!” thought Wyatt. “All those people; my wife and children.” No more than five yards from the lever he was hit by a stone. He fell, temporarily paralyzed. Zeus calmly walked by Wyatt, pausing only long enough to glance a sarcastic smile at at him. Then he stepped up to the levers. In an instant there was a blinding flash of light and the two men stood horrified watch- ing Mars being reduced to atoms. Then, with tears in his eyes, Zeus ex- plained to the bewildered Wyatt. The Mar- tians had known years ago such a fight as this might take place someday, so Zeus trained for a long time in that particular type of combat, which explained his re- markable ability to throw stones. Yes, the Martians had had it all planned and figured out except to one small detail. Zeus was colorblind. THE BEST LAID PLANS Peter Vidito ’60 “Sure, it sounds like a riot; but what if we get caught?” “Look, we won’t get caught. Who’d be looking for us in the middle of the night?” “You’re soft!” “Shaddup! Who’s talking to you ?” “Awright, awright, don’t get touchy. I just don’t go along with the idea, that’s all.” “Nobody asked you to, stupid. Listen, you guys, if this goes off all right it’ll be the best stunt since Pinky Mahoney parked the principal’s car in the frog pond; boy, what a mess that was! Now, who’s in ?” “Count me in.” “Me, too.” “Me three.” “O K.” “Then it’s settled. I’ll meet you all you know where at twelve tomorrow night. They left quietly. Eddie, the organizer of the plot, Dom and Lefty, the planners, and Stinky and Slob, the brawn. The next day came and went. Well into the night five shadowy figures drifted to- gether to the appointed spot. “Everybody ready ?” “Yeh.” “O.K., let’s go.” They jumped the wall, darted across the lawn and disappeared behind the house. “See anybody around ?” “Nope.” “Good . . . Bob, Jerry, do your stuff.” The two larger boys bolted forward toward a small building to the left. They took po- sitions, one on each side. “Holy cow! This thing weighs a ton.” “Shaddup, you’ll wake the chickens.” Nineteen “We’ll wake ’em up anyway, picking up the whole coop. Whose hare-brained idea was this anyway?” “Shaddupand lift!” With a grunt and shudder the henhouse began its journey to city hall. “This is gonna be a scream.” “Yeh, if my back holds out.” “Quit beefin’, we’re almost there.” The pillars of the city hall looked strangely gray in the darkness. The henhouse was lowered on the landing just outside the front doors. “My achin’ back.” “It will be worth it to see the mayor and rest of his entourage pull up ...” “His what?” “His entourage; you know, him and the rest of the Geritol set there.” “Oh!” “I can see it now.” ‘What is the meaning of this. The frivolity of the younger people of this town towards their betters is beyond me!’ Ha, ha, boy, what a panic.” “Awright; now let’s get out of here before we ... Oh, hello, officer... COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS Peter Vidito ’60 The days grow shorter and colder. The ripened crops wait in the fields. The season of snow draws close and we joyously await it, well provisoned. Our hearts are thankful for the beauty and peace which surrounds us, for our loved ones, both near and far, and for all the gifts that God has so abundantly bestowed upon us. The smell of cooking fills our nostrils as we enter the door of our house; apple dumplings, fruit cake, hot cider, plum pudding, and a turkey. We gather together at the table and give thanks for such bounty, then descend hungrily upon the feast. If you had your choice of being either an electron or a proton, which would you be? “I’d rather be a proton, because you’re in with the bunch.” Susan Kaup, ’60. “I’d rather be both and get in good with Miss Damery.”—Stephen Skerry '60. “I’d rather be a proton, because you’re not always going around in circles.”—Paul Papluca ’60. If you were shipwrecked on an island, what would be the first thing that you would miss? “Company.”—Kathleen Rollins ’59. “Food.”—Joanne Naimo ’59. “Men!”—Elaine McCoy ’60. “My Mother.”—Angela Natale ’60.

It car- ried on board a group of touring space visitors who had come on a good will tour. The first traveler to come out of the ship was the pilot, Miss Ayers; the second was the newly elected executive of the group, Student Coun- cil President Barbara Murray; the next-in- line was the travel agent, selling book- covers and second-hand tickets to the moon, Louise Kinsley. The Big Bopper, Charlie Wil- kins, cheerfully hopped off the ship sing- ing “Chantilly Lace”, while Karen Kelly cheered for her out-of-this-world football hero. The space people and the Earthlings began an exchange program. Regina Ma- honey decided to trade in her old Alaskan Husky, Lobo, for the new 1958 space travel- ing dog, Mutnik, while the Purple People Eater, Dave Spurio and the Earthling’s Witch Doctor, Alan Stanford struck up a conversation with the fast growing popular “Blob” which did not last very long because the good will space ambassador Joanne Naimo, called them all to return to the ship and as they once more prepared to blast off into space, the Rockin’ Rockets under the direction of Margaret Haddock gave their own rendition of the ever-popular “Now is the Hour that We Must Say Good-Bye”. Yak! Yak! Yak! Wow! Have we got news. Now read carefully so that you won’t miss anything. Help! Legitimate Problem-Solvers wanted!

With Carol Santosuosso cheering and James Robertson wailing on his sax, Billy Flynn and Larry Webber are bound to reach the goal post. Sandra Nusenoff is striving for one hun- dred per cent class dues; working with her is her sidekick, Diane Mitchell. For some cryptic reason, Carol Caruso is cheering for Watertown High and Carol Kelly is cheering for Rindge. These questions come from the brilliant minds of those in 331. Why does Jean Mac- Donald bring Mother Goose books to school? Why is Lorraine Brierre’s main ambition to collect “Heads ? Why does Joan Gillingham want to be a plumber’s wife? We would like to acknowledge Dolores Forsberg. She has been elected junior li- brarian of the Girls’ Club. Congratulations! Hail to the two class officers in 24. They are Barbara DeWolfe, vice-president, and Judy Peters, secretary. We would like a ques- tion answered. Why does Marjorie Emeneau turn such a brilliant shade of red when a cer- tain “Space Cadet’’ enters the room? The members of 221 have compiled these statistics; Carol Royal, cutest girl; Paul Czar, cutest boy; James O’Donnell, most talkative; and Robert Kempton, class flirt. Carrying on the homeroom responsibilities of 302 are Helen Thiel and Sandra Trafi- cante, proctor and assistant proctor respec- tively. Rosalie Fundeklian and Helen Trupp are taking care to see that we graduate with money in the bank. Judging from the way he roams during special period, James Tucci will soon reach his destination, the moon. We from 31, the underground of Somer- ville High, would like to recognize the fol- lowing students for being elected in our pop- ularity polls. Robert Bruzzese, most studi- ous; Jean Boscio, most popular; Ralph Ma- harnas, most shy; Alex Marciello, most de- structive; Francine Ferretti, best dressed; Carolyn Carreiro, most talkative; and Nancy McLucas, class flirt. Why is Davy Cochran always singing “We Go Together’’ in 31? Stand By! ! ! ! ! Rocket No. 325 is blasting cff! ! ! We, piloted by Miss Lombard, hope to be the first to reach the moon. Our last minute preparations include the locking of the doors by Richard Beattiek, our “keeper of the keys’’; and the location of the bank accounts by Doris Santarlosci and Elaine Mattos, in order that a bank might be estab- lished on the moon. Looking for excitement and the unusual? Drop into 334 anytime. We guarantee that you won't leave without the desire to return. Among our dignitaries are Paul “Plaps’’ Pa- paluca, our class treasurer; and Ann Zaya and Ray Spinosa, members of the Student Council. Congratulations on your election to the office of vice-president of the junior class, Ann. There is Nancy Swett, who is the junior secretary of the Girls’ Glee Club. We also have two football players, Ray Spinosa and Jim Munrce. These lads distinguish them- selves in other ways; whistling and German respectively. We do hope that you will make the trip to enjoy the company here. The Prices? Quite reasonable, just a Stephen Skerry smile. We’re finally talked out. Come to see us again in the next issue. Twenty-four If you like to laugh (and who doesn’t) come to room 350 during special! Mr. Berra, our jolly homeroom teacher, will meet you at the door. Geraldine Amodeo and Louise Corkum will supply you with a laughing pill, and will see that you take it, too! While you’re visting us, you may be able to help us answer these questions: Is Joanne Pullo really allergic to Spanish verbs? And does Joseph Plaza wish he’d joined the track team? (The 8:30 bell waits for no one, Joe!) For the past eight years Room 106 has had an all-male slate of officers. This year there has been a change; the girls have taken over! Our new female officers are: Inez Greco, proctor, Joyce Andelman, assistant proctor, and car check representative; Sandra Anastas and Catherine Daley, bank treas- urers; and Eileen Ahern, bulletin reader. 247 is proud to claim a member of the foot- ball team. He is Harry Cohen. Some celebrities from 349 are: proctor, Judith Kennedy; bank treasurers, Arlene Borghi and Marilyn Marino; and Red Cross Representative, Eleanor Avedisian. The cool teens of 113 extend their con- gratulations to Ellen Spiro, who has been chosen as a cheerleader. Wanted: A watch dog to keep us cool, but hungry, teens from eating our lunches dur- ing “special.” The representatives in 109 are: proctor, Sandra Byrd; assistant proctor, Micheline Amaral; treasurers, Steven Collins and Harold Briscoe. Among the 30 pupils in 204 are three ce- lebrities. The first is Ann Cecchi, a cheer- leader. The other two seem to be home-grown products; they are “Dimps” Monti, known far and wide for his dimples; and Leonard Chardo, the class “Romeo.” The favorite tune in 343 is entitled “After the Failure Slips Have Been Passed Out.” Our all-girl homeroom wishes to announce that any stray boys in the vicinity of 249 are VERY welcome to come in and visit. As the SHS Streamliner 210 cruises by, we catch a glimpse of the popular captain, Louise Camelio; first mate, Karen Santor, the prettiest girl; and second mate Robert Brienze, the handsomest boy. As she lists toward starboard we see Leonard Spiers with his tuba entertaining Rose Gregorio, and Ralph Gentile, the most smartly dressed passengers. The students of room 209 wish to thank their class proctors, Louise Price and Maria Pellegrino, and their bankers, Carol Chicca- riello and Joan Bickford for doing the splen- did job of emptying their classmates’ pockets of their well-earned funds. “The gang in 105 is really alive; we’re smarties by the score. So lend your ears and you will hear some of this reporters’ lore. Our girls might make a baseball nine, with thirty umpires to rule the line. Our Sandy Davidson gives a cheer. At all the games she’s the one you hear. Warren and John are in the band. Give those boys a great big hand. Sandra from Sherwood decides your fate. Stay on her side in a debate.” Room 352 claims one of the quietest proc- tors ever, Donald Bailey. He is assisted by a future Annapolis man, Kenny Green. We hope our patrol boys, Eddie Davidson and Michael Aeseto keep their directions straight. Everyone is anxious to see if Carole Long- more will be a clever class treasurer. We know that Donna Cianelli, pianist and Ellen Kelly, performer on Talent Night, are assets to the music department. The Hoola-Hoop Contest in room 344 was a howling success. Results: Barbara Stutel- laro, won with 600 swivels! The runners-up were Barbara DiPalma and Joan Lungo with 499 each. Any challengers? Last, but not least, some pearls of wisdom from 110. Carol Zammarchi was the lucky (turn to page 35) Twenty-five Haven't You Met ? ALBERT BOWEN ’59 If you haven’t met Albert Bowen, you must be new at SHS. A1 is treasurer of the Student Council and is in the National Honor Society. Last year, as a member of the Good Gov- ernment Group, he represented our school at Canton High. He also attended the simulated United Nations assembly at Harvard and the Civil Education Conference at Tufts. On May 1, when the Teen Citizens’ Administration as- sumed offices of the city government, A1 served as Recreation Commissioner. In his spare time A1 likes to eat spaghetti, roast beef, and strawberry pie. His favorite sports include skiing and bowling. Wonder why his bowling average is a deep, dark secret ? Contrary to rumor, A1 does not wear knick- ers to school They were merely part of a cos- tume for the Players’ Club presentation of “The Barretts of Wimpole Street.’’ It might interest all 5'4 girls with blue eyes and short brown hair, to know that he likes saques and chemise dresses. Alx ve all, this girl must love to dance. These are Al’s specifications for his dream girl. Future plans include Tufts Pre-Med and Medical Schools, with hope of becoming a gen- eral practitioner. Success to you in your chosen profession, Al. GERALDINE DiBONA ’59 Did you say you haven’t met Geraldine DiBona? Well, it’s about time you did. Gerry is a member of the Glee Club, Portia, Players’ Club, Good Government, and the Teen Age Citizen Administration; but most of us know her as one of Somerville’s most en- thusastic former cheerleaders. Gerry is 5'3 tall, brunette, with brown eyes, and a friendly smile for all who meet her. She loves to eat, and her favorite food is fried clams. As for entertainment, she loves to cha-cha and watch baseball games. Her favorite music is jazz and she prefers “The Freshmen” as her singing group. With all these favorites, she does, however, have a pet peeve—the New York Yankees. To describe her ideal male, she says he would have to be a Harvard student, about 6 feet tall with a brown crewcut and green eyes. (Wonder if her brother Don forced her to mention this!) Whenever there is to be a dance, they al- ways depend on Gerry to get a D. J. (That’s why we see so much of Dave Maynard at Somerville High.) Gerry plans to make dress-designing her career. With her personality, ambition, and charm, she is sure to succeed in reaching her goal. Twenty-six Haven't You Met ? LOUISE KINSLEY ’59 Surely you must have met Louise Kinsley. Everyone knows this energetic, dashing young blond. Last year at SHS she served as a member of the Junior Night Committee. This year she is secretary of the Student Council, a member of the Girls’ Glee Club, the Radiator and Yearbook staffs, and the Girls’ Athletic Association. Besides being active in school, Louise also holds a part-tme job at the Global Publishing Company. Her other outside activities include Tri-Hi-Y and the Beau-Mondes. Her favorite pastimes are attending foot- ball games, eating pizza, listening to Johnny Mathis’ records and most of all, dreaming of her ideal boy. Her dreamboat must be tall, dark and handsome. He must have a sense of humor and enjoy meeting new people. Any- one in mind, Louise? When asked about her most emharassing moment, Louise blushed and said, “It was while I was attending Northeastern Junior High. Our class had to compete in an athletic competition at SHS. While I was performing, my skirt fell down.” Quite a predicament. Louise’s ambition is to attend either a business college or Salem Teachers’ College after graduation. She also added, “Who knows, maybe I’ll many my dreamboat!!” VINNY PIRO ’59 Ever notice a tall, dark-haired fellow with a penetrating smile? Then you’ve prob- ably met Vinny Piro, one of our best-known senior boys. Vinny stands 6 feet 3 inches, which makes him perfect for playing his two favorite sports—basketball and football. He has played on these two teams in his sophomore and junior year, and is co-captain of our 1958-1959 basketball team. He is also a mem- ber of the Entertainment Group and was President of the Junior Class last year. Vinny reports that his hobbies are bas- ketball, and listening to Frank Sinatra records on his Hi-Fi set. In describing his ideal girl, Vinny states she must be about 5 feet 6 inches tall, with dark brown hair, a nice personality, an under- standing nature, a liking for sports, and “big blue eyes the size of half dollars.” Vinny volunteered his pet peeve which is having to walk behind girls who take their own sweet time while going into the lunch room. (Vinny is always in a hurry at this time of the day.) Speaking of food, Vinny's favorites are steak, spaghetti, and chicken, although he says he has thousands of favorites. Looking into the future, Vinny hopes to at- tend Tufts College and become a dentist. Twenty-s«ven Honor Roll SENIOR CLASS M AXIMUM CREDIT Eileen A. DiCiaccio Anne M. McWeeny Nancy J. Osgood Robert P.

Third row, left to right: Gary Borlow, Marty Denning, Gerry Zundcll, Jim Monroe, Paul Raymond, Richard Monte, Bob Laghetto FOOTBALL The Red and Blue opened their season on September 29 losing to a tough Arlington eleven 18-6. Behind 12-0 in the first half, Somerville rebounded in the third period with Bill DelVecchio scoring from the one- vard line after a march of 85 yards. The Red and Blue then recovered an Arlington fumble only to have Co-Captain Ernie Duarte’s long pass intercepted and turned into a touch- down. Somerville bounced back on October 3 to defeat Everett 14-0. Coach Frank Zammar- chi’s eleven completely outplayed the heavy Everett team with seniors Bill Brady and Del Vecchio collecting the two touchdowns. On October 11, Somerville trounced arch- rival Medford 38-6, with five different play- ers scoring touchdowns. Del Vecchio paced the Red and Blue with a pair of touchdowns, while Jack Burgess, Phil Perry, Bob Bar- letta, and Paul Dumas each tallied one. Scoring all its points in the first half, Somerville held on to defeat Chelsea 16-12 on October 19. Brady and fullback Ron D’Onofrio scored the Red and Blue touchdowns and the game looked like a walk-away after the first half. But the Red Devils scored twice in the final stanza and were threatening as the game ended. On October 27, Somerville was beaten by last season’s Class A champs, Lawrence, 14-6. The Hilltoppers dominated the early part of the game and led 6-0 at the half-way mark. But the Lancers, behind quarterback Ralph Wolfendale, end Jack Kelleher, star halfback Mike DiGaetano, and the aid of five Somer- ville fumbles, were able to keep their unde- feated record clean. The Red and Blue’s lone tally was scored by Barletta, who scampered 16 yards for the touchdown. Somerville rebounded from this defeat on November 1, w’hen they defeated the Blue and White of Quincy 20-12. The Red and Blue offensive ruled the game with the ex- ception of two long touchdown runs by Quincy. D’Onofrio lead Somerville to victory with three big touchdowns. On November 8, the Red and Blue were upset by a fighting Malden eleven 20-16. The Golden Tornadoes, with the help of six Som- erville fumbles, fought back to win in the final three minutes on a twelve yard pass play. Del Vecchio and Duarte scored the Red and Blue Touchdowns. Somerville suffered their second straight setback on November 15, when they were de- feated by Weymouth 20-14. Brady, on a six- yard run and a pass from Jim Corbett to Burgess accounted for the Red and Blue scoring. But Somerville’s touchdowns weren’t quite enough as Weymouth took advantage of some costly fumbles to hand Coach Frank Zammarchi’s eleven their second Greater Boston League defeat. Twenty-nine GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The GAA began another active season this year under the leadership of its officers. Joanne Palazzolo, is president; Elaine McCoy, vice-president; Sheila Cronin, secretary; and Antonette Mazzola, treasurer. Basketball, swimming, badminton, and bowling are the activities sponsored. Any member who has paid fifty cents dues is eligible to participate. Each activity carries a number of points which a girl receives if her attendance meets with the percentage of participation that is required. Additional points may be acquired by those members who serve on the GAA executive board or who take part in exhi- bitions. If a girl earns 24 points she receives a 4- inch block letter; 65 points, a 6-inch block letter and for 100 points, a special pin. On Wednesday and Friday afternoons the badminton group meets in the gym under the supervision of Miss Snell. This group is cap- tained by Marie DeFlumeri, and managed by Patricia Delano. A doubles tournament will be held in November and special awards will be given to the winners. The bowling group meets at the K. of C. alleys on Monday afternoon under the direc- tion of Miss Croy. This group is captained by Marilyn McGrath and managed by Elsie Scioli. Thus far the top bowlers are Karen Jones, Ann Gouraris, Elsie Scioli and Jo- sephine Blanco. The basketball team, instructed by Miss Daley, meets on Monday and Thursday after- noons to learn the skills of the game. Nancy Noble is the captain and Ann Zaya is the manager. Interclass games are now under way and after Christmas the teams will begin competing with other schools. The cap- tain of the sophomore team is Donna Cianelli; the captain of the junior team is Connie Rega- lino; and the captain of the senior team is Joanne Palazzolo. G. A. A. Seniors Receive Awards 1. Joonne Palazzolo, Noncy Noble, Sandro Dmiterko, Vivian Santos, Dorothy Thorne. 2. Sheila Cronin, Marie Dcflumcri, Susan Roister. Thirty G. A. A. Juniors Receive Awards Dorothy Mooney, Carol Coruso, Jane Moriarty, Isabella Silver, Judith Peters, Connie Rcgalino On Thursday afternoon, the swimming group meets at the “Y”, directed by Miss Croy. The captain of the group is Pat O’Con- nell, and the manager is Elaine McCoy. At the present time the girls are concentrating on improving their strokes in preparation for an inter-class swimming meet to be held be- fore Christmas. Jane Antolini, Evelyn Ells, Pat Wilson, and Sheila Cronin were the girls who received their hundred point pins for the year 1957- 1958. The seniors who acquired the highest num- ber of points over a three-year period were Georgia Indelicato with 154 points, Jane Antolini with 148 points, and Evelyn Ells and Pat Wilson, both with 103 points. Six-inch block letters were received by Marion Chaparales, Nancy Resmini, Nancy Tyler, Evelyn Ells, Shelia Cronin, Karen Jones, Joanne Palazzolo, and Dorothy Thorne. Four-inch block letters were received by Nancy Conway, Ruth Lancaster, Marilyn Bowman, Sandra Dmiterko, Rose Doyon, Marie Marcucci, Marilyn McGrath, Nancy Noble, Patricia O’Connell, Lillian Pinto, Suz- anne Reister, Vivian Santos, Carol Caruso, Carol Catino, Elaine McCoy, Dorothy Mooney, Jane Moriarty, Judith Peters, Connie Rega- lino, Elsie Scioli and Ann Zaya. CROSS COUNTRY The Cross Country team bounced back this fall after last year’s winless season to take two out of five meets. The Red and Blue beat Cambridge Latin and Boston Col- lege High and were defeated by Rindge Tech, Malden Catholic, and Brookline After losing their first two meets to Rindge Tech and Maiden Catholic, Somerville snap- ped back to defeat Cambridge Latin 24-31 on October 14. Coach Richard Hegarty’s runners then lost to Brookline on October 17 and ended the season with their win over Boston College High on October 21. The scoring of a cross country meet is far different from that of a regular track meet. In cross country each team is composed of ten boys, with only the first five placers able to score. As each of the five boys for both teams finish the race the judges assign him a certain number of points. For example, if the third placer for Somerville High finishes eighth, Somerville is charged with eight points. The Red and Blue were led this season by (turn to page 32) Thirty-one Left to right: John Tronicllo, Phyllis Forget, Robert Tourosi, Gilbert McKee, Robert Merlino. HOYS’ STATE John Traniello '59 The purpose of Boys’ State is to educate today’s youth in the duties, rights and re- sponsibilities of American Citizenship. Boys’ State is held in Amherst, at the University of Massachusetts. It is sponsored by The American Legion in behalf of its edu- cational program. I was sponsored by the Union Square Post 334 to represent them at Boys’ State. After I was selected, the Commander of the Post met my family and gave us a gen- eral idea of the trip and the materials needed for the eight days. After a two-hour bus trip, we reached the campus of the University. We were assigned respective city and town groups, in four dormitories. We were well equipped with advisors and counsellors, who gave their free time to run the expansion program successfully. We had three hearty meals daily that were neces- sary to survive the full schedule of events. A trumpeter was supposed to play reveille at 6:30 a.m, but no one heard it. But there was always the counselor banging on the door and quoting the famous words of his, “Time to get up. Let’s go.” Lights out came at 10:30 P.M., but in some rooms the activi- ties lasted until much later. All in all the eight days couldn’t have been spent to more advantage. I wish more boys had this wonderful opportunity, but space was limited. To get the purpose: We elected our own city, county and state officials. We made and enforced ordinances, regulated city gov- ernment, and conducted our own elections. Amidst all this talk concerning the fault of the American form of government, the American student has a chance to learn for himself what his responsibilities will be when he becomes a man—and how he, himself, is the government and how his government can affect his life, liberty, and the pursuit of his happiness. CROSS COUNTRY (Continued from page 31)) Captain Roger Powers and Jerry Knight, who were placed consistently in the top five throughout the season. Mike Armstrong, James Dumas, Bill Griffin, Jim O’Donnell, Kevin Cullinane, Wallace Jakimczyk, Dennis Carr, and Brian Brady, should also be given credit for their hard work this season. Thirty-two GIRLS’ STATE Phyllis Forget 59 From June 13th to the 20th I attended Massachusetts Girls’ State., which is held at Bridgewater State Teachers College. Bridgewater, Mass. The program is held for the purpose of providing citizenship training for girls of high school age. Juniors in senior high schools are chosen as citizens of Girls’ State. This was just about the most wonderful week I had ever spent. Girls’ State is not all work and no play, but a combination of both. We attended lectures three times a day given by well known speakers. We had three hours in the afternoon for campus ac- tivities and also two hours in the evening. Girls’ State is a practical application of Americanism and good citizenship. The en- tire program is a non-partisan, non-political attempt to teach and inculcate in the youth of America a love of God and Country. Massachusetts Girls’ State is part of the Nationwide program of the American Le- gion Auxilary. Girls’ State is made up of two hundred and twenty-five girls who come together from all parts of Massachusetts without re- gard for race, national origin, or creed, in order to form a better America. I participated in basketball, swimming, and was also on the newspaper staff. On Wednesday night we had an inaugural ball, and to sum up the week we had a talent show given by all the girls. In closing I would like to say my trip to Girls’ State was very enjoyable and profit- able and I hope one of you Junior girls will be lucky enough to go next year. TALENT NIGHT The Somerville High School Music De- partment presented its annual Talent Night on October 23, 1958, in the Clayton Ellis Auditorium. The Entertainment Group got the show under way by singing a medley of songs. Bruce Ross and Richard Chiozzi played ac- cordion solos. Carmen Gailey, Theresa Pro- vost, William Slattery, John Lima, and Judith Shirley were soloists; also included in this group were Elaine Highland, Joan and Arlene Gillingham, George Forrest, William Mercer, Jean Lucreziano, Rosemarie Bombaro, Eu- gene Lancaster, and Margaret Haddock. Comedy skits were performed by Phyllis Oates, Barbara Murray, Karen Kelly, and Louise Kinsley, Marion Moreno, Carol Var- ney, Vivian Santos and Margaret O’Leary. The two vocal trios were Jean Lucreziano, Janice Santos, and Laura Kiersread; Elea- nor Passero, Patricia DeMille, and Joyce Linardy. The dancers were Carolyn Auterio, Carol Guthro, Nancy O’Brien, Diane Silva, Rita Corte, Kevin Flynn, Janice Rogers, Maureen Scully, Karen Holland, and Marion Van Steensburg. During the course of the evening, the Girls’ Sophomore Glee Club, Entertainment Group, Boys’ Glee Club, and the Girls’ Glee Club, sang songs from several Broadway productions. An instrumental quartet composed of John Duffet, Paul Santoro, Philip Azzolino, and Robert Trask put the frosting on a thrilling evening. Thirty-three OFF THE RECORD Here we are again, talking about the popu- lar records that are trying to sell a million copies. Domenico Madugno has a great record “Nel Blu Di Pinto Di Blue” on the Decca label. Everyone's singing it! He also has a new one out called “Stay Here With Me.” “For My Good Fortune” sung by Pat Boone is really going places. His last successful records were, “There's a Gold Mine in the Sky,” and “Sugar Moon.” One of our old favorites “The Mexican Hat Dance” is back again under a new title and a new beat, “The Mexican Hat Rock,” by the Applejacks. “Its’ All in the Game” sung by Tommy Ed- wards is certainly on top. His new one “Love is All we Need” is starting to gain in popu- larity. Both records are on the M. G. M. label. The Four Esquires have a swinging song, “Nine More Miles.” Another one of their records is rising fast—“Hideaway.” A real toe-tappin' record is Tony Bennett’s EMBASSY ONE-HOUR CLEANERS 1 Washington Street Pickup and Delivery Service—MO 6-2550 DeROSA'S DELICATESSEN Specializes in Pizzas and Submarine Sandwiches Union Square and Davis Square “Firefly.” Remember his last big record this summer, “Youngand Warm and Wonderful”? The Big Bopper says “Hello, baby,” and then lets loose with “Chantilly Lace.” It’s right up there on the hit parade. A real sweet rhythm and blues number is entitled “To Know Him is to Love Him” by the Teddy Bears. Good luck to this group in their first try for success. Do you remember “All the Way”? Well, fabulous Frankie Sinatra has another great one called “Mr. Success.” (Aptly named for this fellow.) All of a sudden Gordon MacRae is singing Rock ’n’ Roll. His latest record. “The Secret,” is headed for the top. Now to get off the subject of Rock ’n’ Roll, and down to talking about albums. Johnny Mathis has a great album on the Columbia label called “Swing Softly.” This album is go- ing places for sure, Lester Lanin also has a wonderful new album called “Lester Lanin Goes to College.” It’s quite a change from the type of music he usually plays, but it is sure to gain in popularity. For you piano lovers, there is the marvelous Carmen Cavallero, whose new album “The Sound Track of the Eddie Duchin Story,” has been selling like hot cakes even though the picture was re- leased quite a while ago. Some last minute notes on songs that should be big hits: “Walkin’ Along” by the Diamonds; “Beep Beep,” by the Playmates; “Sweet and Innocent” by Bobby Denton; “Call Me” by Johnny Mathis; “The End” by Earl Grant; “Non Dimenticar” by Nat “King” Cole; and “I Want a Sunday Kind of Love” by Fran Warren. “Off the Record” will report the rampaging records in the next issue of the Radiator.

If so, why not let me solve them for you. Address your letters to me. Henrietta Heart- throb. care of Hoorn 107B, and I will try my best to solve them. Dear Henrietta: I am 17 years old and a senior in high school. I have a very bad crush on one of my student teachers. lie is at least three or four years older than I. but I don’t think that makes much difference. Do you think I should continue seeing him even though he is going steady ? Bewildered Dear Bewildered: I think you should forget about him. (No doubt you probably will.) Concentrate on someone who is a member of one of the clubs that you belong to at school. Henrietta Dear Henrietta: I have a very dashing and romantic boy- friend. He is very popular and well-liked in school and has a wonderful personality. There is only one thing wrong. When we go to a dance, all he does is skip around the floor. What should I do? Skipless Dear Skipless: There is only one logical solution—learn to skip. Henriettta Dear Henrietta: My father let my boyfriend and I take the car last night and on the way home we had a little accident. (We bashed in the left side.) It’s a ’58 Ford. This morning when we told my father, he was positively impossible. Do you think he was right to be so mad? After all it could have happened to anyone. Please help me. Ford-less. Dear Ford-less: Yes, but it happened to you and boy, what a mess you’re in. Wow! Henrietta WHAT’S DOIN’ (continued from page 21) students danced to the records spun by a former pupil of S. H. S., Tom Evans. The profit of the dance will go toward the 1959 Yearbook. One of the members of the Radiator staff received a letter from Indonesia written by his pen pal asking if there would be anyone in Somerville High interested in correspond- ing with a boy of high school age. If there are any students who would be interested, you may obtain application blanks in room 107B. SOPHOMORE CHATTER (Continued from page 25) one chosen class proctor.

TO THE PREPARATION OF YOUTH FOR THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF LIFE . , . ..............................................-...............................................— A Tribute Janet C. Resteghini ’59 Miss Mary Smith, our beloved English teacher, is retiring in June. With her gentle, patient manner, her discriminating though quietly subtle sense of humor, and her gra- cious charm, she is the true personification of a lady. As a teacher she has instilled in countless students a sense of responsibility, a hunger for knowledge, an appreciation of the arts, the importance of a good education, an aware- ness of the beauties of nature, and a love of good literature. Besides being an excellent teacher, Miss Smith is a talented writer of poetry. Her modesty has kept this ability more or less hidden except to those who know her well. Discerning pupils, however, have sensed the extra “something” that generates in teach- ers calm poise and confidence resulting from more than “book learning.” After receiving her Bachelor of Arts de- gree from Radcliffe College, she taught for three years in Fall River, and then came “home” to Somerville High forty-three years ago to give her dedicated service to our school. We wonder if she will understand that students in their hurried pace of activity are often inexpressive and matter-of-fact about the kindly concern of their teachers, particularly the quiet ones, and that we can only assure her that she will always be re- membered by us with respect and affection. One day she said some words which seem to tell the whole story of her philosophy in teaching. She said, “Pupils need to think, to reason, to understand right from wrong, to appreciate what is fine, and to abhor that which is debasing.” About her we can say with full sincerity, “A teacher affects eternity; she can never tell where her influence will end.” Three Freedom to Search for the Truth Left to right: Nancy Swett, Lennart Ogren, Susan Kaup, Rita Riccardi, Jomcs Kakos This spring, in the Boston area, one hun- dred thirty-eight high schools, including Som- erville High, began teaching the Humani- ties by television. The first twelve half-hour lessons of a complete filmed course, for which over one hundred more lessons are planned, were broadcast three times during the school day—8:30 a.m., 10:15 a.m., and 1:00 p.m.— and again in the evening at 7:15 to allow par- ent participation and easier viewing by the general public. Planned as a replacement for the tradi- tional year of junior English, the full-year course has three main objectives. First, it aims to stimulate the student’s critical and creative intelligence. Second, it aims to im- prove his communication skills—not only reading, writing, and speaking, which are tra- ditional, but also seeing and listening. Third, it aims to give him preliminary awareness of the sweep of Western Civilization. It is no survey, however. It delves deeply into a few particular areas in an attempt to arouse the curiosity and spark the enthusiasm which make the study of the humanities a life- long pursuit. By studying the permanent forms of man’s ideas and feelings, the stu- dent learns to ask some profound questions and to give his own answers, based on the en- during patterns of thought beneath the world’s shifting surface. And, above all, he learns that man’s confidence in his own ability is an illusion without the power of God. The Pilot Course tries out for the first time in secondary schools the idea of using tele- vision to teach the Humanities. Devoted pri- marily to the area of the Theatre and the Drama, the Pilot Series is divided into three groups of four lessons each. In the first group, Clifton Fadiman, noted essayist, author and television personality, is the television teacher. Mr. Fadiman introduces the Humani- ties and the Theatre, and analyzes Thornton Wilders’ classic play “Our Town.” The second group is taught by Maynard Mack. Professor of English at Yale University. Mr. Mack guides the student through the intricacies of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” The television teacher for the third group is Bernard M. W. Knox, associate Professor of Classical Phil- ology at Yale University. Mr. Knox interprets Sophocles’ “Oedipius the King,” using a new translation he has prepared for the Council. The Pilot Course does not simply present a filmed lecture, accompanied by a few visual aids. It combines television teaching with classroom teaching and presents the work itself to the student in an entirely new way. Four In nine of the twelve pilot films the student saw scenes from the plays, acted by members of the Stratford Shakespearean Festival in Canada. These scenes were especially staged and filmed for the Council. Television brings a new scope and dimen- sion to the classroom, a challenge to educa- tional habit as abrupt and promising as was the introduction of the printed book. But, now, as then, the change is only technique- deep. Real learning still must take place in the student’s individual mind, with the en- couragement and guidance of the classroom teacher. The television lesson can relieve the classroom teacher of his need to prepare and present certain subject matter. It can never lessen his responsibility for skillful, flexible, intuitive nurturing of his individual students. Two Junior English classes were fortunate to be included in the experimental program. Miss MacPherson’s Preparatory Division C arrived early each morning and settled down to watch the lesson at 8:30. At 9:00 the dis- cussion period began, continuing until 9:30. At. 10:15, Mr. Berra’s Preparatory Division A listened to the re-broadcast. The lessons were consecutive on Monday-Thursday, with Fridays reserved for testing by the Educa- tional Testing Service. HELP FOR OUR “HUMANITIES” What a coincidence! It seemed almost planned that such remarkably well-presented versions of “Oedipus Rex” and “Our Town” be given in theatres so close at hand, when many of our juniors were studying these plays in their “TV” course, “The Humani- ties.” The movie of Sophocles’ play enabled those who attended to comprehend the true scope of the Classic Theatre and to acquire a better knowledge of the differences in its dramatic convention and our own. “Our Town” provided a striking contrast to the ancient Greek classic, but it too, although for quite a different reason, was unconven- tional, as far as modern drama presentation. It was done on a bare stage, with a mini- mum of props, and the element of time was used liberally. These various effects in both plays brought the desired atmosphere that can be best appreciated while they are being viewed. Words on a page of a drama are often meaningless unless they are spoken and, as intended, made to come alive. And come alive, these words did, by the superb acting in both plays. Channel 10 obliged with Lawrence Oliver’s “Hamlet” on Sunday afternoon, May 17. More of the Boston area would have benefited if Channels 4 or 7 had been interested in being so helpful. MIRACLE BOX Francis Pioli ’60 One of the greatest electronic miracles of our time is, in my opinion, television. It is a very complex system of wires, tubes, towers, and people. Without being technical we can say in brief that it all begins in the television studio, where the action is picked up by a television camera, really a box containing a maze of wires and tubes, on the front of which are a few lenses. The picture is then carried through wires, in the form of elec- tric current, to a transmitting tower, which in turn sends out light waves at great distances. These light waves are picked up by your an- tenna and carried through wires to your tele- vision set, which is another box containing wires and tubes with a window on the front for your viewing area. Television has made tremendous strides since its first regular service in London, in 1937. Now it has become a part of our dalily living. Along with entertainment, it gives us the greatest medium of communication ever in- vented. Now, without leaving your living room, you can be in almost any part of our continent in a matter of seconds. It is the greatest educational medium ever invented, although this phase of the development of television is still in the experimental stage in many schools. With color television, and soon interna- national television, (thanks to future re- flecting satellites), it will be the most im- portant influence for world peace, unity and understanding in the not too distant future.

EXCHANGE DAY The Good Government Committee of SHS, participating in the student exchange pro- gram of the Greater Boston communities, visited Milton High School on March 12. After a greeting hy the principal of the school, the Milton students guided the visi- tors through their school. Later in the af- ternoon, the students toured the Walter Baker Chocolate Factory. The Milton High Student Council sponsored a tea at which the school committee explained town government to the Somerville visitors. The SHS pupils received pens from the Student Council. The students and teachers were the guests of the Rotary Club at a dinner sponsored by the Milton League of Women Voters. After dinner, the students attended a meeting of the Town Finance Committee. It was most interesting to learn how a town government functions and compare it with Somerville's City Government. On April 7, Milton visited Somerville and was entertained with a simulated School Committee Session presented by the Good Government Group, a tea sponsored by the Student Council, a trip to the First National Bakery, and a tour of the city guided by members of the police department. The Elks provided a dinner and then the group attended a school committee session and an aldermanic session. Both the students from Milton High and Somerville High enjoyed their visits and found them most informative. Six North of the Border, Up Canada - Way Dorothy Thorne '59 The Sheraton-Plaza Hotel was the scene of the Canadian Trade Fair Exhibit during the week of April 20. Guests of the Boston Globe, Janet Reste- ghini, Dorothy Thcrne, Eunice Harrison and Lillian Pinto were the Radiator Staff mem- bers lucky enough to attend it, as a prologue to the third meeting of the High School Editors’ Club in the Oval Room. The exhibition in the beautiful ballroom featured colorful displays of Canadian products. There were beautiful woolens, such as: skirts in clan tartan, bright colored dres- ses, argyle socks, vests and sweaters. There was also a display of lovely furs: white fox and red fox, mink, beaver, rabbit, and skins shown in their natural shapes before they were manufactured into coats or jackets. For the sport fan, there were skis, hockey equip- ment, and believe it or not, a speedboat. Home-makers admired dishes, silverware, television sets, a piano, and wallpaper in many artistic designs. All in all, it was evi- dent that Canada does not buy everything from us. They are even presenting Canadian fashions, created by their own couturiers. At the Editors’ Meeting, His Excellency, Arnold D. P. Heeney, Q.C., Ambassador from Canada to the United States, was introduced.

SAVED Sandra Anastas '61 Prom time is a very happy and thrilling interval for all the pupils in every high school. Joanna, who was voted the most popular girl in the school, was really bubbling with joy because her prom date was Jimmy, the handsome captain of the basketball team. Since the prom was only a week away, Joanna had only a few more accessories to gather. Jimmy was exceedingly happy be- cause he had managed to stretch his two weeks’ allowance and was able to pay for everything. Suddenly it struck Jimmy! He hadn’t bought the tickets; now what was he to do? He already had spent all but a dollar of his money. He couldn’t borrow from his friends for they, too, were going to the prom. What possible means could he think of to obtain the money? Then it dawned on him, “The Bank.” That being his last resort, he went immediately and explained his situation to the advisor at the school bank. After a short conversation, she asked Jimmy if he ever had a school account. “Maybe, in the elementary school,” replied Jimmy. Hearing this, the advisor started to search for his record and sure enough, she dis- covered that he had saved over $10.00 What a life saver! It was arranged for him to have the money before the end of the school day. Jimmy then returned to his class as happy as a lark. It is said that Jimmy and Joanna had a most enjoyable evening, one that will be re- membered for a long time, especially by Jimmy. But that evening probably wouldn’t (Turn to page 10) Eight Some of My Best Friends Are Books” LIBRARY ASSISTANTS First row—Jeanette Mielc, Noncy Burns, Joon Define, Ellen Councilman, Jean Rumson, Morilyn Jones, Joanne Naimo, Kathleen Rollins, Regina Mohoney, Ina Crowell.

I wonder what your plots could be. What e’er they are, they’re sure to interest me. A book of poems with verses light and gay Which sings of all the joy one meets each day. What could you offer me today ? A theme perhaps, or some well-written play Of tragedy or comedy divine — Shakespeare with his many thoughts sublime. You sit upon my comfy window seat, Arranged in colored rows so prim and neat That I can hardly choose which one of you To take away. I think I’ll take the blue. Now come to me my pet and let me look Beneath your leather cover, little book. Come and let me read you if I may, Until the sunset ends my lighted day. Then I will place you back among your friends Until tomorrow, when your story ends. And so to bed to dream complacently, About the treasures you have given me. MY LIBRARY Paula Sadowski ’61 Every time I survey my shelves of books, I am reminded of Lamb’s “ragged veterans.” Not that all my volumes came from a second- hand store; many of them were neat in new covers, some of them were even stately in leather bindings when they came into my hands. But so often have I removed each book, so rough has been the treatment of my little library over the years, and to tell the truth, so little care have I given to its well- being. that even the newer books show the results of unfair usage. More than one has been foully injured by a spilled drink, a bent cover or a torn binding. Still others have had (Turn to page 10) Nine NORTH OF THE BORDER (Continued from page 7) Ambassador Heeney was a witty and fascina- ting speaker and held his young audience with his many humorous comments. He seemed relatively young to have attained such an important diplomatic post, even though his educational training is excellent. He at- tended the University of Manitoba in Canada and Oxford University in England. Probably he demonstrates that in Canada, as in the U.S., the accent is on youth. His Excellency mentioned how proud the Canadians are of the unusually happy situa- tion—three thousand miles of unprotected boundary. (We wanted to exclaim, “So are we!”) Canada considers us her most powerful ally. Mention was made, of course, of the newly-opened St. Lawrence Seaway. This combined effort will be a great asset to both countries, as well as an open display of our friendship. One fact was emphasized — a fact not widely realized — Canada is totally inde- pendent of England and has her own govern- ment. “The Queen of England,” he said, “is not called that name in our country. She is the Queen of Canada.” After the witty and interesting talk, he answered questions which the editors had asked, and refreshments were served. The typical impression he generated was one of surprise—that one of our neighbors from the North could be so Americanized! SAVED (Continued from page 8) have been worth remembering if it hadn’t been for Jimmy’s school bank account. Now, if you were Jimmy, would your school account have saved you ? What does every Monday bring to mind? “Deposit Day!,” ring out the voices of pupils in rooms 151, 152, 106, 204, and 350, who have had 100'« banking since the beginning of the school year. Incidentally, we should like to apologize to Room 350 for the typo- graphical error in 100% rooms which ap- peared in the last issue. A 100'« participation record is a distin- gushing achievement! Now you ask, “How is it done?” “Spirit,” is the answer! The pupils in these rooms, with their Spirit and Determination, will be not only regular bank- ers, and thrifty people in later years, but they will be important and reliable people in their communities. New get a hold of some of that spirit for which Somerville High is noted and help pull your room through with a 100% next deposit day! TEEN CITIZENS ADMINISTRATION “Why don’t they hand politics over to the kids?” Though literally this may never happen, the teenagers of our city actually do get one chance a year to experience the problems in- volved in running our government. On May 1, the Teen Citizens Administra- tion assumed almost all of the important offices in Somerville. Two meetings a month are held in the Elks’ Lodge to discuss problems confronting the city today. Subjects such as health, safety, education, and other revelant topics were discussed, and possible conclusions and solutions were referred to the proper au- thorities. This year, SHS chose education as its plat- form for the election of a student mayor, and our TCA endeavored to gain recognition for scholars which is equal to that usually bestowed on athletes. Our candidate and winner for Mayor was Joanne Naimo. Phyllis Oates delivered the nominating speech for Joanne at the rally, on February 23. The TCA has tried to show the senior citi- zens of Somerville something which they are now realizing—that our Youth is steadily becoming better qualified for future political life in our city, state and nation. MY LIBRARY (Continued from page 9) their titles obscured by wear. And yet, they have served me well. They have provided me with noble heroes and worthy foes. They have been my transportation to unknown lands, as well as to the future and the past. They have taken me to untold heights—and also to the depths of sorrow.

Ten PINK CHIFFON Elsie Scioli 60 “Bobbi, answer the door, will you?” called Mrs. Marshall to her daughter Bobbi, who was sliding down the long, white handrail, her golden pony tail gaily flowing behind her. As she approached the door she tucked her father’s oversized shirt into her beat-up jeans. “Hi, David, be ready in a minute,” she chirped to the handsome sun-tanned boy who stood at the door. “Bet I beat you today, Brat,” was his answer to the pint-sized tomboy’s greeting. “Ha, ha, who are you kidding? You haven’t beaten me yet, and you never will,” laughed Bobbi as she grabbed her tennis racket and her sweater. “Bye, Mummie, we’ll be home for lunch, okay?” hollered Bobbi to her mother. “Goodbye, dear, have a good time and don’t beat poor David by too large a score.” “I'll try not to, Mummie,” Bobbi answered with a laugh. “Come on, Brat, just wait 'till we get to those courts. I’ll show you,” replied David with a determined glint in his eyes. At precisely 12:30 p.m. David and Bobbi returned for lunch. “She beat me again,” David grumbled downheartedly to Mrs. Marshall, who greeted the exhausted twosome at the door. “I had to promise to buy her two sodas this afternoon so she wouldn’t blab the score all over town.” David continued. After lunch, David went home to change with the promise that he would return in half an hour to pick Bobbi up to buy her two victory sodas. They had been sititng in the booth at Tar- mon’s Ice Cream Parlor when along came Carrie Caldwell, the most popular girl in Benton High, and Bobbi’s worst enemy. She was the secret love of every boy and the envy of every girl — that is, every girl except Bobbi. “Hello, David darling, where have you been hibernating?” Carrie purred. Then, in her most degrading manner she turned to Bobbi, who was on the start of her second chocolate soda. “Oh, hello there. Bobbi dear, I haven’t seen you in ages. Been climbing trees again?” Carrie inquired. “Oh, I’ve been around, I guess. You’ve been too busy with the male population at Benton to notice anyone,” Bobbi retorted. Somehow Carrie was the only person who ever made Bobbi get so mad that she could clobber her one. She still didn’t realize how an intelligent boy like David could fall for anyone like “Carrie the Cat.” “Won’t you sit down, Carrie?” inquired a hazy-eyed David. “Thank you, sweet, but I can’t. I have to leave. Bob is going to pick me up for a swim- ming date at two,” replied Carrie. “He’s bringing that brat of a brother with him, so it looks like one of those miserable days ahead. David, don’t forget to pick me up at eight for the prom Friday, and I want pink camellias. Don’t forget to order them.” “I won’t. Mother is going to order them for me,” replied David. After Carrie left, Bobbi finally spoke up. “Oh, close your mouth, will you? You look like a yawning frog. Honestly, I thought you had more brains than to fall for that snob.” Eleven “What do you mean, a snob? She’s a won- derful girl,” David answered. “You’re just jealous because you don’t have her class. You’re just a tomboy!” With that, Bobbi, her eyes burning with tears, picked up the remainder of her soda and poured it over the unsuspecting David’s head. Bobbi ran as fast as she could to get home — faster and faster, trying to drown out the words of David. Her very best friend had hurt her, and she was heartbroken. On the way home she came to Shield’s Department Store. In the window staring at her was that pink chiffon gown she and her mother had been looking at a few weeks ago. Suddenly, though her tears, she realized that all these years she had remained the fun- loving, tree-climbing ten-year-old and had never really given time to growing up. That dress had turned her thoughts from those of a child’s to a real teenager. Quickly she thought of the prom and of David. Why, all of a sudden did David’s name sing out in her heart? She hadn’t wanted to go to the prom, but now that was what she wanted most— to go to the prom in that pink chiffon gown, with, to her surprise, David! But it was too late. David was going with “Carrie the Cat.” This thought made her start crying all over again. She ran home and went straight to her room and cried for hours. Later that night, the phone rang, and her mother called her from her room. It was David. This time she walked gloomily down the stairs. “Hello,” she said sadly. “Hi, Bobbi, this is David. Gee, I want to apologize for what I said to you this after- noon,” he said sincerely. “That’s all right,” Bobbi answered. “You were right. All I am is a tomboy and I shouldn’t have poured that soda over your head.” “Oh, forget it. I deserved it,” he said. “Say, Bobbi, I know I have no right to ask you this favor after what I did, but, well, Carrie just called and said that she can’t go to the prom. She caught the measles from Bob’s little brother. Do you think — well, will you go with me ?” Bobbi’s heart stopped beating and she couldn’t talk. Then, when her voice came back she answered him, “Yes, David, I’ll go.” “Thanks, Bobbi. Gee, thanks a lot! Bobbi, you know I’m kind of glad Carrie isn’t going. This afternoon you got me thinking. I guess Carrie is a snob.” On Friday evening at eight o’clock the doorbell rang. Mrs. Marshall answered it. “Hello, David. Bobbi will be down in a moment,” she said. Just then, from the top of the stairs, shone a star, in a pink chiffon gown. There she stood. Her golden hair flowing on her should- ers, her eyes twinkling, she was finally a young blossoming teen-ager. “Hello, David,” she said. “Bobbi-you-you look beautiful,” he stam- mered. Twelve WHAT IS TEEN-AGE DANCING? Judith Shirley ’60 What is teen-age dancing? Just about everyone who watches television today sees so-called “juvenile delinquents” jumping around the screen. Some parents say, “Well, look, Hilda, if it isn’t the black bottom coming back.” Others say, “What are they, ani- mals ?” If there is a teen-ager watching at the same time he’ll say, “Daddy-O, don’t you dig that cool rockin’’? or “Mother, you just don’t understand us.” The world is comprised of many kinds of teen-agers. Are they werewolves or gang- sters? No, but they all have one thing in common, and that is love of dancing, even though it is referred to by many parents as foolishness. Isn’t it surprising that their memory has grown so short that they can’t remember doing almost the same thing in their day? We teenagers make allowances about these things since it is so far back for them to remember. Let us take, for example, the jitterbug or one of these other various dances based on the same idea. Do teen-agers wear springs in their shoes or have a disease just because they dance this way? Of course not—at least I don’t think so. Naturally the records used for this dance are composed mostly of the faster beat, but just because Uncle Mozart or Grandfather Bach aren’t on the label, it is blacklisted by society. I think every parent should be able to sit down one hour a day and concentrate steadily on these records, then maybe they would understand the re- modeled Turkey Trot. Another example is the slower dance. It may not be a Viennese Waltz, but teen-agers enjoy it. Just because we are not Junior Arthur Murray’s do they have to take it out on us. Much of the teen-ager’s time today is spent learning to dance or learning new steps. Why don’t parents realize this? We certainly don’t know. Thanks to dancing, many teen- agers do not hang around comers because dance programs have been organized and more record hops are being held. Someday the elder generation will break their barrier called the P.S.T.P.R.R. Parents Society to Prevent Rock and Roll, and realize what dancing has done for the present gen- eration. WHAT IS A TEEN-AGE GIRL? Pamela Capuano ’60 “Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of.” After years of acceptance, that little phrase has been swept aside for the modern version, “Rhythm and blues and rubber-sole shoes, that’s what girls are made of.” Responsible for this dramatic change is a fun-loving, giggly, chattering, unmanageable bundle of vitality known as a teen-age girl. Years ago one could tell the girls from the boys by the way they dressed. Now the girls have adopted boys’ haircuts, shirts, bluejeans and jackets, it’s not so easy until you watch them walk away from you. A teen-age girl loves to complain. She can’t stand anything about her hair, girls who flirt with her dates, nosy parents and boys who don’t dance (although she’ll probably marry one who doesn’t dance at all). At home in the evening a teen-age girl relaxes by listening to the latest and loudest rock’n’roll records. Her mother in the kitchen, although busily preparing the evening meal, feels a warm glow as she realizes that her teen-age daughter is really enjoying life to its fullest. Overcome by these sentimental thoughts, she wipes her hands, goes to the foot of the stairs, from where the music is coming and in a sweet, motherly way says, “For heavens’ sake, will you turn that darn thing off?” Thirt««n MAMA IS A FRUITCAKE Janet Resteghini ’59 Before I receive any queries from irate readers, I would like to point out that the above termination is meant endearingly, and not sarcastically. However, I would also like to point out that it is very close to the truth. I shall endeavor, in the following sen- tences, to give justification to my title. Any- one who has a “mama” should know exactly what I mean. Of course there are different types of “mamas.” For instance, there is the “antique buying” type. These are usually easy on the nerves, if just a bit rough on the family budget and a tiny attic. Then there is the “overly-protective maternal” type. These aren’t too hard to take, if you don’t clear your throat or sneeze around them. (The consequences of that, of course, is landing in bed with toast, tea and a thermometer.) But mine is about the hardest to take. She is a combination of the first two types, with a dominance of forgetfulness. In her an- tique-buying days she has filled our tiny five-room apartment with such valuable ob- jects as: a large Grecian bottle of undeter- mined origin and undetermined price, a spindly Boston rocker with missing spokes, and the delicacy of a balsa-wood model plane; two flat-irons from pre-historic, pre-electric days, a tiny pair of spectacles, which might have belonged to Silas Marner; and a small moth-eaten Oriental rug from a market-place in distant Persia? These are only a few ex- amples of her never-ending, money-spending shopping sprees. For examples of her “overly-protective maternal traits,” I have missed exactly three parties, a New Year’s Eve shindig, four dates, and a prom by simply sneezing at an in- opportune time, within the range of her “radar-like” hearing. Mama also hates germs. In fact there was one instance in which her germ-hating instinct got the best of her common sense and she decided to hygienically sterilize her upper plate with boiling water, on conclusion of which it lost three of its “pearly-whites” and the dentist's bill was $97.70. And, as I said before, she is forgetful. I can remember countless occasions in which my harried Papa had to back-track her entire day in an effort to locate her black leather change purse, which would undoubtedly end up on the top of her desk in plain sight to all. Oh, and while I am on the subject of her desk, I should like to define it as a large, overflowing wastebasket with drawers. It is a rather large maple job, and has on its surface and within its cavity, such un- catalogued items as: assorted recipes, the results of which I have never seen or eaten; pictures of all descriptions—Cousin Sylvester in knee pants; Aunt Clarissa with a “Dutch- clip” and long bangs; our last cat, Pinky the third; and a tiny picture of my Papa with a cowlick in the ninth grade. There is also a dog-eared copy of “The World of Albert Schweitzer” (whom Mama threatens to join when we give her a rough day); various pen- cils with broken points; pens with exhausted ink supplies; and lists of all sizes on what she has to do, what she wants to do, what she has done, and how much she has spent. (That last one is the longest.) If you look carefully within the drawers of Mama’s desk you will find: several ashtrays of colored glass, sou- venirs of the Mohawk Trail; a book of poems; innumerable old birthday cards from loved ones; my old coin collection; a picture of John Sutton, the movie hero of ancient times; and all my brother’s kindergarten papers, —yellow and crumbly with age. When it comes to misplacing things my Mama is tops. In her career as a housewife she has misplaced her change purse, count- less times; her Shaeffer pen, just one week old; a brand new “Good Housekeeping” mag- azine; a pound of ham burg, and her girdle. It only takes her a short time to discover what she has lost and upon the discovery she sets about calmly and thoroughly search- ing the house. After a half hour of this the hysteria sets in, and following shortly is nau- sea. Then when she really thinks the item is gone, the numbness starts. Then undouted- ly it turns up somewhere and she snaps out of it. Yet during all these disappearances she has emerged without losing one thing. What I like about Mama is her wit. She is Fourteen really quick with an answer. That makes her fun to be around, and never lets her become boring. In fact, you could never be bored around her, since she is never still and always busy with some project. The reason for her boundless energy is probably the odd combinations of food she eats, such as peanut butter and catsup sandwiches, raw onions, or mixtures of that type. One of her great loves is reading, and her taste in reading material is wide and varied. She can go from Shakespeare to Ruark with- out even flinching. This gives all of us a variety of reading interests and broadens our likes and dislikes. It makes every day thoroughly enjoyable. So you see that’s why all cf us tolerate her eccentricities and simply adore her, even if she is a fruitcake. THE UNSUNG HERO Geraldine Hagopian ’61 I am just a bus—a large, orange one like many others of the MTA. To the company I am known as No. 50738, but my friends call me “5-0.” As a bus, I meet hundreds of people, all of different characters and personalities. I remember when I carried a group of young children. They were a little uproarious, but their youth and sparkle gladdened my carbu- retor. There are also the drunkards, who ride the bus continually and attract the cold gazes of the bystanders. One day I had a most unusual experience. Two bank robbers, who had just stolen $100,000, stepped aboard me. They thought a bus would be harder to trace than a car. Each carrying a large satchel, they walked cautiously down the aisle. I noticed their suspicious glares and saw the police car fol- lowing. Immediately the gangsters jumped up, pulled out their guns, and tried to jump off me. I quickly locked my doors, so that the bus driver could not open them. As the police car came to a halt, I thrust open my doors and the two men scrambled out, only to be caught and dragged off to prison. The bus driver was recognized as the hero of this adventure, and I received no praise whatsoever. Being modest, I did not tell my fellow buses. No one will ever know the real reason for the capture of the thieves. After all, I am just a bus. SUMMERTIME Leonard Flynn ’50 Nothing is quite as pleasant as a June day, with the golden sun shining in the pale blue sky, with the scent of lilacs on a soft summer breeze, and the sweet song of a swallow calling to his mate. The day dawns cool with the dew of night clinging to all it touches. The sun is rising, far to the east, slowly but surely covering all with its warm, yellowish carpet. The deli- cate flowers shake their drowsy heads, then open their arms to the welcoming rays of the sun. The world awakens to greet another wonderful day. The events of a summer’s day follow one another in a slow, unhurried procession. The gentle winds whisper through the trees. The lazy river slowly flows on its endless journey. The fields of grass sway with each vagrant gust of wind. Summertime is a time of leisure, a time for joys and cares forgotten during the rest of the year—the gentle waves which caress the sandy beach; the stately trees which stand like majestic monuments in the forest; the laughing child who frolics at the water’s edge—all these are a part of a sum- mer’s day. When the golden orb has traversed the Fifteen sky, slowly, slowly, its golden light grows dim. The tenuous shadows of twilight steal across the summer scene, enclosing all. Faint- ly, faintly, the sounds of the night begin, while far above in the heavens the first stars begin to twinkle and glow in the ever-deep- ening sky. HAPPINESS Leonard Flynn ’59 What is happiness? Is it the sun shining in the sky; the laughter of a small child; the gentle breezes of a summer’s day; the soft touch of a loved one’s hand? It is all these things and many more. It is all the joys and hopes and prayers of the world. It is satisfaction; it is peace; it is love. One cannot describe happiness; he can only experience it. He cannot find happiness; it must find him. It comes to us in many dif- ferent forms. It comes in the lilting music of a song, in the falling leaves of an autumn day, in the glittering stars of a summer’s night. It comes to each in its own way, and each must feel its touch in his own way. Each of us wants happiness, but each of us must find it in our own heart. Each of 11s experiences it, and then it is gone—disap- pearing like the dew' of a summer’s morning; like the melting snows of a spring day. It comes to us and then is gone, leaving us with cherished memories. And we remem- ber, and we wait—wait for the happiness we once knew to return to us again. CITY SUNSET Stanley Jakimczyk ’59 Again the sun has reached the western horizon Preceding the drawing of the dark veil of night Across the sky. The sparkling treetops arc reddened by the waning sun’s rays, The windows of the lofty buildings, inflamed by the reflected sunlight. The shadow of the skyline falls Over the homeward-scurrying office workers. The hustling noise of traffic pervades the air, And the remaining sunbeams perish as somber clouds Engulf the city. As the sun sinks far below the horizon, Man-made lights appear in the metropolis. The setting sun has brought the end of another day, And with its passing, hope for a better tomorrow. BEYOND THE SUNSET Maria Pellegini 61 Beyond the sunset lie the hills The fountains, valleys, and whippoorwills Where raindrops fall upon the grass And the golden sunset glitters like glass. Where flowers bloom in valley streams— Beyond the sunset lie my dreams. ON GRADUATING Dorothy Thorne ’59 Classmates, we have conquered; We have swum the mighty stream; We have seen the gorgeous sunset; Yet this all seems but a dream— We can’t believe that we’re leaving; Though we’ve reached the top at last And now we bid a fond farewell To the members of our class. And though we may not meet again, We cherish in our hearts Hopes that we’ll be successful As we play our separate parts. Dear classmates, we wish each other Good luck and much good cheer, To last throughout our lifetime— Through each and every year. GRADUATION DAY George Perry ’61 Come, all you faithful seniors, lend me your ears. Listen to what I say. Don’t think your job is over when leaving the door, On Graduation Day. You’ve just started life, get on the ball. Make your future worthwhile and right; The field that you choose, hold it, don’t lose The fun of making it bright. Sixteen SPRINGTIME THOUGHTS Alvin Matthew ’59 Have you ever watched a flower Pushing upward through the sod ? From its tiny, almost nothingness To perfection, from God? THE SHOW Regina Mahoney ’59 Spring is the time of year I like the best, Warm air and sunshine and plenty of rest. The snow is all melted, the world turns to green. Nature’s changed colors as we’ve never seen. How does it happen? — we really don’t know; God is the Maker, who puts on the show. A SPRING PORTRAIT Patricia Estee ’59 Green sloping hills, huge towering oaks. Daisies brightly scattered everywhere. Soft dewy earth, clear azure skies, Robins’ mellow music fills the air. Mild temperate winds, butter-yellow sun . Light Springlike showers interfere. Buds bursting forth, making their debut. Isn’t Spring a lovely time of year? GOD’S MASTERPIECE Carol Beraldi ’60 God dabbed the brush upon her eyes The one He uses to paint His skies. To a pale red rose His brush He dipped And touched her cheeks and formed her lips. The cream of life He rubbed within And so began to paint her skin. Then, to her King He reached His arm To grant her life and give her charm And from the sun he squeezed the gold That made her hair so fair to behold. He made her heart and filled it up With goodness and sweetness—about a cup. He took a branch so full and green And made a throne to seat this queen. Then sent her down to join the world— His work of art—to all unfurled. QUESTION James Biggie ’61 There is a question on everyone’s mind The answer to which we never shall find. What is it that forces our elders to say, “Just what is wrong with the kids of today”? But the errors we make and the things that we do Are the very same things that our elders did, too. And some day in the future I’m sure that we’ll say, “Just what is wrong with the kids of today”? The budding trees, abloom in Spring A promise of the harvest bring. So He instills in the human mind, A seed, to help us be good and kind. It is up to us to nourish that seed, With a tolerant act or kindly deed. The human harvest will create surprise For in that harvest your happiness lies. Since He is very careful of His wonders from the sod, Then surely he is most concerned About His “Images of God.” SPRING Isabelle Warnock ’59 The April rain fell slowly On the famished ground below, To bring to life the buds of Spring And add to Nature’s show; The little birds are back once more Amid the sun and rain. To chirp the news to everyone That Spring is here again; They build their nests with sticks and straws In lofty trees above, A place to keep their young ones safe. And shower them with love. The farmer seeks his plot of land. And plows the hardened earth To give the land a chance to help In Nature’s new rebirth; Next, he gently sows his seed. And toils with watchful care To see that each and every plant Will yield its rightful share. Meanwhile in the midst of this, O'er all the world today Spring up the sweet and fragrant buds, So typical of May; Each one unfurls a glorious flower All radiant in its worth; And as one dies, another springs From out the sun-drenched earth. And as we see this birth of Spring, We cannot help but see, That God’s great wonders in this world Can never cease to be. Seventeen With A Song in Their Hearts !

THE SHOW MUST GO ON Nancy Swett ’60 A drizzly evening certainly didn’t dampen the spirits of the Glee Club members as they presented their annual concert. The show opened with selections from ‘'State Fair” by the SHS Glee Club. The Boys’ Glee Club offered selections from “Oklahoma” and “South Pacific.” After several fanciful songs, the Girls’ Glee Club sang the “Lord’s Prayer,” and “Sanctus,” with Margaret Haddock doing the solo. The Sophomore Glee Club rendered selections from “The King and I,” “Carmena,” and “The Holy City.” These groups were under the direction of Miss Mary G. McGann and Miss Beatrice Sweet. Accordion solos were played by Richard Chiozzi, and Steven DeCrosta played the saxophone. Janice Santos played a piano solo of “Shortenin’ Bread.” The soloists for the evening were Gail MacDonald, Ellen Kelley, Rosemarie Bombara, John Lima, Violet Ban- croft, Ronald DellaGrotte, Jean Lucreziano, George Forrest, Philip Perry, Carmen Gailey, Rosemary Wray, Eugene Lancaster, and Wil- liam Mercer. Several groups presented skits of “Alice Blue Gown,” the “Easter Parade,” “I Need Your Lovin’,” and “I Enjoy Being a Girl.” Nancy O’Brien, Diane Silva, Maureen Scully, and Karen Holland made a pert foursome in their dance number. The entire production was concluded by a magnificent rendition of “The Resurrection” sung by the SHS Glee Club. Congratulations to the Music Depart- ment for a job well done, and a hearty thank you for a most pleasurable evening. Eighteen Paul Santoro ’59 Between issues, the top artists around the country have really been kicking up a storm of records. Elvis Presley’s latest, “Fools Such As I” and the flip side, “I Need Your Love Tonight” are both hits. Elvis’ career in the Army is not hurting his phenomenal success in records at all; he just keeps hitting the million mark on all his releases. The Crickets, without the late Buddy Holly, are doing very well for themselves with their latest record, “Love’s Made a Fool of You” which Buddy helped to write. The tragic death of this great performer ended a colorful career. Connie Francis’ new record “Frankie,” is her fourth hit in a row. Connie seems to have a great deal of luck with this type of music. Jerry Lewis is back in the picture again with his latest disc, “Lovin’ Up a Storm.” Frankie Avalon was awarded a Gold Record for his big hit of “Venus.” Frankie has come a long way since his recording of “Gingerbread” in which he made no attempt to cover up his nasal “twang.” The vocal groups are making themselves heard nowadays, plus more and more new groups which are springing up all the time. The Platters have made another hit with “Enchanted.” The popularity cf this group is proven by their long list of million sellers. The Tune-Weavers, a local group, have a pretty song out called Little Boy.” The Sky- liners have a hit with “Since I Don’t Have You,” a nice ballad with an excellent back- ground. Among the current popular releases for vocal groups are: “So Fine” by the Fiestas; “Teenager in Love” by Dion and the Belmonts; and “I Only Have Eyes for You.” by the Flamingos. In the instrumental field, Johnny and the Hurricanes lead off with “Crossfire,” a num- ber that really moves along; Duane Eddy is at it again—this time the song is “Yep”; the late, great Ritchie Valens made an instru- mental called “Fast Freight.” He released it under the name of Arvee Allens. This novelty instrumental blends the low, guttural electric bass with the high shrill guitar in an echo- chamber that produces a most “ofT-beat” and peculiar effect. Some of the latest releases on singles are: “I’m ready,” by Fats Domino; “Endlessly,” by Brook Benton; “Dream Lover” by Mr. Bobby Darin, who has now broken into the field of jazz; “Pm Going to Change Him” by Cathy Carr; and “You Made Me Love You” by Nat “King” Cole. While listening to the car radio lately I heard a new, cool sound. And all of you cats who dig Bo Diddley shouldn’t pass this up. The record. “ROLLER COASTER” by Little Walter. Fabian sings “Turn Me Loose” .... WE WILL! Nineteen First row—Robert Kennedy, Williom DelVecchio, James Corbett, Geno DiSorcino, Ernest Duarte, Poul Gosdigion, John Hickey, Joe Caruso. Second row—James Palmer, Ronald Bcoton, William Powers, William Perry, John Harrington, John Molvcy. Third row—Charles Dorvaghuc, Shaun Quinlon, Robert Boldocci, Robert Camelio, Dovid Curran, George Allan, John Thomas. BASEBALL On May 4 the baseball team defeated Lowell 4-1 at Lincoln Park in the first league game of the year. Junior Jerry Harrington started for Som- erville and did well until he developed a blister on his pitching hand. He began to lose his control and had to be relieved in the fifth inning. It all was a team effort with Somerville winning on superior pitching and base run- ning. In a thrilling game, Coach Donoghue's nine beat Everett 4-2 on May 5 at Everett. Ernie Duarte gave a sparkling performance, going the full ten innings to win his 1959 mound debut. The quarterback of this year’s football team, Ernie allowed just five hits, struck out eight, and walked four. With the game tied 2-2 going into the top of the tenth, Johnny Corbett walked, Bill Del- Vecchio singled on a bunt, which sent Cor- bett to third. Then DelVecchio stole second, and Jim Corbett, Johnny’s brother, doubled to bring in two runs. Bill DelVecchio's pitching and Jerry Har- rington’s hitting and fielding were the high- lights of Somerville’s 4-2 win over Medford on May 6. DelVecchio allowed only six hits, one of which was a home run, in the first pitching assignment of his high school ca- reer. Bill has been the regular center fielder since his sophomore year. Harrington drove in two runs with a homer which tied the game in the seventh inning, and a single which drove in the win- ning run in the eighth. He robbed a Medford batter of a “sure” extra base hit in the bot- tom of the eighth with a one-handed stab of a hard line drive. The high school continued its torrid pace, overwhelming Chelsea 16-1 on May 8, at Lincoln Park. Jerry Harrington drove in four runs with a double, and three singles. John Corbett, Jim Twenty Corbett, and Ernie Duarte each drove in three runs. John with a homerun and a a single, Jim with a double and a single, and Ernie with a home run and a single. Unfortunately the impressive pitching per- formance of senior Bob Kennedy was almost overshadowed by the heavy hitting. Bob threw a five hitter. On May 11, Somerville’s seventh straight victim was Malden. Ernie Duarte pitched a four-hit shut out. The opposition scored thirteen runs, with John Malvey hitting one home run and Jerry Harrington two. Jerry has hit three homers in the last three games and for the same stretch has over a .600 batting average. The baseball team defeated Quincy 11-3 on May 12 at Quincy. Jack Hickey held the Quincy nine to six hits in his first starting game of the year. It seems that the regu- lars are taking turns in pacing the attack. This time it was Geno DiSarcina with three hits, a single, a double and a triple.

Somerville lost eight points in the hurdles as Stanford and Littlehale didn’t clear every hurdle. Spinosa and Virgil Aiello finished sec- ond and third in the shotput. It was one of the few times Spinosa has been beaten. Dick Mineski and George Gorman, finishing one-two, captured the 440. John Martorella and Bob Redd also finished first and second winning the 100 yard dash. Ed. Braga was victorious in the javelin, while Bob Brown captured the low hurdles with Bob Laghetto third. Tony Sordillo, Gary Barlow, and Jim Dumas swept the 880. In a great effort Jerry Knight captured the mile; Captain Roger Powers was third. In all Somerville took seven first places and enough place points to win. It was “revenge,” in part, for our loss to Everett in the Tech Tourney The track team won their second straight meet on May 5th by defeating Chelsea, 70-43. Allan Stanford contributed 10 points with victories in the high hurdles and the javelin. Ray Spinosa got back to his winning ways by winning the shotput with a 47-foot toss. Bob Laghetto and Dick Mineski finished first in the low hurdles and 440 respectively, while George Gorman placed third behind Mineski. Jerry Knight, Roger Powers, and Mike Arm- strong finishes 1-2-3 in the mile, as did Tony Sordillo, Gary Barlow, and Jim Dumas in the half mile. Twcnty-on© Others who placed were Dave Jones, tying for first place in the high jump; Bob Redd, second in the 100-yard dash; Bob Littlehale, second in the high hurdles; John Martorella, third in the 220; Virgil Aiello, second in the shotput; Ed Braga, second in the javelin; and Frank Hrubi, second in the discus. The Somerville track team captured its third straight meet with a come-from-behind victory over Malden, 63-50, at Everett Sta- dium. Dick Mineski won the 440 and was second in the broad jump, Jim Dumas finished third in the 440, as did John Martorella in the 100- yard dash, and Ed Braga in the 220. Ray Spinosa and Virgil Aiello placed first and second, respectively, in the shotput. Gary Barlow and Dave Jones finished in a three- way tie for first in the high jump with a Malden jumper. Frank Hrubi, Bob Radochia, and Jack Christopher swept the discus. Allan Stanford won the high hurdles, while Bob Laghetto won the low hurdles. The highlight of the meet was the breaking of the mile record by sophomore Jerry Knight in 4:49.1. Roger Powers followed Knight, coming in second.

The scholarships are given by various industrial firms through- out the country. As qualified students are few, it is a significant honor to place as a semi-finalist or to place at all in this exam. Paul Murray, president of the junior class at SHS was elected president of the Eastern Massachusetts District of Student Councils. This honor came to Paul at a recent con- vention held in VVestwood, Massachusetts. The last student from Somerville High to hold this honor was Ronnie Perry.

Twenty-four Olourf,' CX r As the school year draws to a close, the seniors in 147 make a farewell report. There were many honors won by the mem- bers of our class this year. Starting the list is Joanne Naimo’s election to the office of Junior Mayor of the City. This was the first time that a student from Somerville High ever held this honor. The DAR award was presented to Annemarie McWeeney. Robert Taurasi and Louise Kinsley were elected to serve on the Class Day Committee. Charles Wilkins and Dorothy O’Hearn were two of the three top winners in the contest “My Driving Privilege—My Highway Responsi- bility.” Barbara Murray was the winner of the “Girl on Page 44” Contest which was sponsored by radio station WCOP. Louise Kinsley won the “Homemaker of Tomorrow” contest. Very talented group, wouldn’t you say? The critters in 250 wish to say “adios” to SHS. Before we leave, however, we would like the answers to the following questions: Doesn’t Tyle Deveroux ever get tired of rais- ing his hand in class? Will Sid Kana ever return to his original seat in English? When will Billy Fargo invest in a 29-cent pen? We also have a few suggestions for some of the less fortunate pupils: a pair of bi-focals for Wiggy Whelan so that he won’t strain his eyes anymore; an extra set of pencils for Sandy Kuzmar to pass out each day; a black- board for Priscilla Sotiros to teach the rest of us those awful logs; a year’s supply of gum for Anne Kana; and a book on debating for Fred Nasson. As our school career is coming to a close, a few scholars in 152 have revealed their future plans. Robert Flaherty, the boy with the best health and the biggest smile in the school will be an undertaker. Margie Driscoll, who has perfect health and the most out- standing absence record, will be a truant officer. George Stamatouras, the boy of many faces and smiles will be the star of, “Man of A Thousand Faces” and “Baby-Face Nelson.” Bob Lattatore with his quick mind and snappy fingers is sure to succeed as a speed typist. Last, but not least, is Richard Murray, who is most likely to succeed because of his alertness, promptness and stick-to-itiveness. He has confidentially told us that he will be- come a mattress tester. 241 went on a voting spree and here are the results: most popular boy and girl Russell Brown and Karen MacDonald; best dressed, Janice Engilsen; class clown, Russell Brown; most talkative, Mary Shannon; cupid, Frank Licata; best homeroom teacher, Miss Piercy; Mr. and Mrs. Personality, Barbara Davidson and David Daley; most bashful. Helen Brown; best looking boy and girl, June Piasecke and Thomas Gauvreau; most likely to succeed, Nancy Burns; best laugh, Rita Naimo; pocketbook queen, Joanne Babcock. George Catino has been chosen Valedic- torian and Annemarie McWeeny the saluta- torian of this year’s class. Congratulations to you both! Twenty-five Juniors CLASS OFFICERS Standing—Judith Peters, Secretory; Poul Popoluco, Treasurer; Borboro DeWolfe, Vice-President. Scotcd—Poul Murroy, President.

Congratu- lations to Bob Radochia who was elected “King” of the Junior Dance. By the way, Bob has the very same birthday as the Queen, Antoinette Mazzola. Coincidence. Questions, questions, questions! We in 25 would like some answers to these questions: Why is Jimmy Kakos so sure of passing the equation test in chemistry? Who is Phil Perry always waiting for outside room 30? Why is Gene Lancaster’s lunch bag so heavy? If anyone knows the answers to these puz- zling questions, please hurry down to room 25 and help us out. We, the students in 31, would like to leave a treasure to the incoming juniors. We leave our ever-smiling Santa Claus picture, who through all the trials and tribulations of the long years, hangs there laughing and wait- ing for next Christmas. JUNIOR DANCE Romantic Venice was transported to SHS on the evening of May 6. The theme for this long-awaited night was “Mandolins in the Moonlight.” Couples glided by red gondolas and berib- boned mandolins to the strains of music played by Herbie Wayne and his orchestra. The climax of the evening came at ten-thirty when Robert Radochia and Antoinette Maz- zola were crowned king and queen by Mrs. Giroux and Mr. Hoban. Credit for organizing this enjoyable and memorable evening goes to the Dance Committee, Chairman Ray Spinosa, and members Francine Ferretti, Ann Zaya, and Peter Suffredini, and also faculty advisers, Miss Marjorie O’Brien and Miss Jane McCarthy.

The castle’s angels, Inez Davidson and Neil Daykin, will take you on a tour and intro- duce you to some interesting personalities. In the library, you’ll meet Geraldine Hago- pian and Herbert Mower, the most intelli- gent castle occupants. Practicing jousting, you’ll find Andrew Camelio, our court athlete. For a change of pace, Ralph Benson, court jester, will entertain you. Dashing in and out is the castle’s most popular person, Sandra DeVellis. Every palace has its lovers and ours are Michael Aceto and Marsha Madsen. We of 247 have decided to give out awards. The most popular boy and girl are Harry Cohen and Stella Cabral. The cutest boy and girl are Eddy Pinkham and Diane D’Onofrio. The best dressed pair are Harry Faulkner and Vera Carazzini. Jimmy McLeod is the class clown. The one most likely to succeed is Stella Cabral. The 343’s have recorded a new record. The tile is “Who’s Gonna Get Promoted?” We have made a composite boy and here he is: He has eyes like Bobby Murray, a personality like Richie Carroll, and money like Johnny (Chris) Christopher. He dresses like Eddie Doyle. Hi, from 345!!! Here are some questions we’d like answered if you can. Why does Ann Nadiau linger outside room 345 last period? Did anyone ever look through Penny Bemis’s wallet? If no, you’ve missed a lot. The results of our elections are as follows: The most talk- ative boy and girl are George Ward and Betty Lincoln. The class clowns are Lynn Downing and Elaine McCormick. Ann Nadiau has the prettiest eyes. Welcome to 105. We will introduce you to a few of our class personalities.

Why does Sandra Anastas like to go to English class? Why does Mickey Burke like Ancient History and English? Why does Judy Hartnett like to go to the library? Could there be two reasons?

Andrew Costa was a judge at the Inter-system Science Fair. Donna Mazzeo and Patricia DeMille went to visit B. U.’s Library with the Library Club. Is there a doctor in the school? If so, please send him to 350 immediately! The reason for this request is that many have spring fever. The symptoms of the following people (or should I say, patients?) can best be de- scribed by titles of songs. First on the danger list is Rosalie Santorelli, who is always sing- Twcnty-cight Sophomore Executive Committee Standing—Andrew Camelio, Donna Cianclli.

Spring has really sprung in room 210. Edward Breznoski and Alan Cohen have be- come members of the Key Club. Louise Camelio, Jean Callahan, Louise Gravellese, and Karen Santoro have been chosen for Honor Guards. It seems that 210 has a few pet peeves. Elaine Davis dislikes people who talk too much. Carl DeYoung’s pet peeve is silly boys. Barbara Slattery’s conceited seniors; and Joanne Amabile’s getting up in the morning. Some pupils like Diane Woods, have a touch of Spring fever. Janet Thibedore is still moaning over her long-lost friend. Room 113 took a poll and here are the re- sults! Smartest, Paul Colbert and Evelyn Amercina; most popular, Robert D’Onofrio and Ellen Spiro; cutest, Lynda Addison and Robert Gosdigian; class clown, Edward Varta- bedian; busy body, Ellen Spiro; best dressed, Lorraine Hunt and Robert Gosdigian; quietest, Ronald Deardon and Eunice Wood- side; class Romeo and Juliet, Paul Colbert and Diane Samsuri.

Is Denise Mahoney still sick? Does Frances Tanner still like to do her homework? Also we report that Rosie Caruso is still using her pocketbook for a shield to comb her hair. Joan MacMu’lin is is not wearing her wig anymore. Sandy Tumblin is just dreaming of her new home and friends she will have when she leaves SHS. She will also miss a certain boy. Marie Treska has been wearing orange stockings but just changed to red ones. Louise Riley just loves to throw paper in the waste basket during special. So long for now.

NATIONAL HONOR ASSEMBLY At the exercises held in the High School Auditorium Tuesday morning, May 19, for the induction of the new members of the National Honor Society, the principal speaker was Dr. Robert H. Kingston, of the Lincoln Laboratory at MIT Dr. Kingston, a Somerville High School Graduate, Class of ’44, was one of the key scientists who teamed last March to bounce a radio signal off the planet Mars. Dr. Kingston designed a radar device which was an integral factor in the success of the experiment. While at SHS he was a mem- ber of the National Honor Society. Gennaro Di Sarcina, president of the Na- tional Honor Society, led the exercises. Head- master Albert H. Giroux presented the mem- bership cards to the 39 members. The speakers were Vivian Santos, who recited the prayer; Eileen DiCiaccio, who spoke on “Scholarship”; Louise Kinsley, “Leadership”; Richard Higgins, “Character”; and John Robertson, “Service.” Margaret Haddock sang “With a Song in My Heart.” Through this assembly the Junior Class learned, in all seriousness, that membership in the society is something definite to strive for. The effort to develop a well-rounded personality brings with it success and popu- larity. Thirty Graduating With Honor First row—Carmen Galley. Beverly Richardson, Shirley Lctosz, Frances Poolillo.

Pleasure Island is a multi-million dollar park which is located off route 128 in Wake- field. For the small admission fee of a dollar for adults and fifty cents for children, you can step back fifty or sixty years in time and visit sea-faring New England or the gold-seeking West. Won’t you join me as we take a quick look at the fascinating wonders this park holds? After parking the car in the twelve acre parking lot, we enter the main section of the park which is called “Clipper Cove.” Here we find a composite of the villages as they looked in 1870 or 1880. Strolling down the the street, we pass many shops of the period such as candy shop, a silverware shop, an apothecary shop, a bakery, a beanery, a meat market, and a genuine country store. Per- haps you’ll want to stop in and browse around in one of the stores. In case you get hungry you can stop at the Chowder House which is the main restau- rant located by the water side. By means of scenery, animation, and sound effects, we can relive the “Wreck of the Hesperus.” We mustn’t miss the Pirate Cove in the tropics and see how honest-to-goodness pirates live. The Moby Dick ride will probably be the highlight of our trip. Our whaling boat will be charged by a swordfish, threatened by a school of sharks, frightened by a rhinocerous, attacked by the natives, and at last met by Moby Dick himself. In the Western Section of the park we enter a town called Gold Pan Gulch. Shops of the time line the streets. There’s a hotel, a print shop, and even a saloon where you can buy soft drinks. Four or five times a day there is a western type show. We can go West in a covered w agon down the Old Chis- holm Trail, and see such wonders as moon- light on the desert. Once in the West we can become partners in a gold panning operation. Now Pleasure Island isn’t like anything you’ve ever seen or heard before. It’s not a mere amusement park, or a mere historic replica of days gone by. It isn’t a museum type affair either. What is it then? Well, it’s a charming composite of all these things, but don’t take our word for it. Find out for yourself!! THE HOUR BEFORE GRADUATION Janet C. Resteghini ’59 Twas the hour before graduation, and all through the school, Not a pupil was caught breaking one little rule. The Yearbooks were stacked all neat in a row, In hopes that they soon to their owners would go. The seniors were nestled all snug in each seat, Just dreaming of when their futures they’d meet. When Chum in his beanie, and I in mine too, Were discussing the summer, and what we would do. When out in the hall there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my seat to see what was the matter. When what to my wondering eyes should I see. But juniors and sophomores, two hundred or three, Happily walking from class to class, A rolicking, friendly, and talkative mass. More rapid than horses the pupils they came, And I wanted, yes wanted so much to exclaim, “Oh students, students of Somerville High, I wish I were you and you were I.” From the depth of my heart and the back of my mind Came a wild desire to be left behind. But I am a senior and I must leave, To make my way and never grieve. They were carefree and gay—knew nothing of pelf, And I envied them so, in spite of myself. Then a smile from my teacher, and a twist of her head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. I spoke not a word but went straight to my seat, To talk with my classmates, who all looked so neat. The teacher winked, for luck I suppose, And giving a nod, from her seat she rose. We marched to the room in Somerville High, From which every senior says his goodbye. Mr. Giroux gave a speech and some others did too Then we got our beanies, as all seniors do. We left that large room, with dragging feet; And proceeded to leave—our futures to meet. Mr. Albert Giroux came and stood by the door, To gaze at the students, not his any more. And we heard him exclaim, ’ere we left Somerville High, “Happy future to all and to all a goodbye.” Thirty-three ODE mm AS mm 4 I % i 4 | J ' WE BIO GOOD-BYE TO DEAR OLD SOM-ER-VILLE HI6H WE$LL ) � 1 I j:- i I J j VIV AN SANTOS v59 •1 [4 A J - MARCH FORTH WITH .... i' i TRUTH AND via vt r « e):j o o -1 mj A ; VI o- -Ig= 3 — — r - t- g : j j —-— 1= 1 VFARS PASS US BY WELL CAR-RY THROU H 0M HIGH SHOULD d j- J l� J i fii i i=m— .. . i i J1 j 3.. im r -3 f—?—j.- WE AIN FAME WE'LL ALL PRO-CLAIM OUR DEAR OLD S- H- $• cvt j ——y— i=-r-: j , l ra.LLsata.rido , I 1 —Y' r == I T 3 P !■- .-g ” J fi Buy at LEONARD'S JEWELRY STORE Union Square, Somerville Buy at BACKER HARDWARE Union Square, Somerville Patronize Patronize MODERN FURNITURE CO.

Most museums seem very boring to the average person because every place he turns there is a sign which reads “PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH.” One of the many different things about the Boston Museum of Science is that you “push buttons” and “turn cranks” to understand the various things and see them in operation. On January 9th the Science Club and the Radiator Staff went to the Museum of Sci- ence. We saw the 3 o’clock showing of the wonders of the sky in the new Hayden Plane- tarium. This planetarium is believed to be one of the finest in the world. It not only shows the constellations of the entire world but it also presents each star at its correct magnitude or brightness. The Hayden Plane- tarium is the first to use a hydraulic skyline which raises and lowers at the touch of a button by the lecturer. Following the planetarium lecture we visited the first floor halls where we saw a ship’s bridge, a bee hive, models of ships and how they are propelled, a tropical fish dis- play, real life panoramas (models which por- tray New England animals in the terrain we would expect to find them), the porcu- pines Herkemiah and Ouch, and Spooky, the Great Horned Owl, shown at intervals throughout the day on the first floor stage. Following the Spooky demonstration we went to the second floor where the Transparent Woman explained on a recording the differ- erent organs of the body, and the function of each. Each organ was illuminated as she explained its specific purpose in our daily lives. The rest of the afternoon was spent on the second floor hall studying exhibits of near-sightedness, color-blindness, an appendix operation, New England orni- thology, a drop of water, a jet engine, a tele- phone demonstration showing how the dial system works, rockets and space travel, and panoramas on how ancient man lived in various terrains. The trip was enjoyed by all and we intend to go there again as soon as possible. Why not come along with us and see what you have been missing for the last six years! Three Herbert Mower Buttons Miss Ayers NICE THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES Herbert W. Mower ’61 Buttons, a full-grown saw-whet owl, pic- tured above, visited the classroom of Miss Ayers on December 2, 1958. Buttons is a representative of the smallest owls in New England. The name “saw-whet” is given to this owl because the noise they make sounds like a woodsman’s saw when he is whetting it. These owls are very friendly and make good pets, except that they are protected by law. Button's home is in the Museum of Science, in Boston. Buttons was found in a very unusual way. Some woodsmen were cutting down a tree and when it fell to the ground this little ball of feathers came straggling out. The men brought it to the Museum of Science where it was named “Buttons” and has lived ever since- Owls are a great help to man. They eat a number of rats and mice which destroy many of our crops and much of our grain. The expression “The wise old owl,” is a little misleading to most people. An owl’s eye is a little bigger than a human’s eye, but it is about the same size as his brain. It was once believed that all you had to do to kill an owl was to attact its attention and walk around it a number of times and its head would unscrew and fall off. Fortunately this cannot happen. An owl can turn its head 180 degrees to the left and 180 degrees to the right, but it cannot turn it round and round. An owl’s wings have saw-toothed edges so that it can fly down on its prey without being heard. HAPPY HOMEMAKER OF TOMORROW As the result of an examination in home- making given at Somerville High on Dec. 2, 1958, to all senior girls interested, Louise Kinsley was awarded the Homemaker of To- morrow pin for receiving the highest score. This examination was given in high schools all across the country, and the winning girl from each school will be entered in her re- spective state contest. The state winner will be awarded a $1,500 scholarship and an ex- pense-paid tour of Mount Vernon, Colonial Williamsburg, and N. Y. City. Her school will be presented with a set of the Encyclo- pedia Brittanica. The state runner-up will re- ceive a $500 scholarship. On April 10, the State Homemaker will at- tend a dinner in Minneapolis, at which the all- American Homemaker of Tomorrow will be announced. She will receive a $5,000 scholar- ship. The second, third and fourth ranking State Homemakers will be awarded $4,000, $3,000 and $2,000 scholarships, respectively. Congratulations, Louise, and good luck! Mrs Webber, Director of Home Economics, presents the oword to Louise Kinsley. Four V. SMITH SPEAKS TO SCHOOL SPORT LOVERS Janet Resteghini ’59 “How can a girl sign up with a major league ball club?”, was one of the many eager questions directed at famous sports columnist Red Smith, guest speaker at the second meeting of the High School Editors Club held in the Sheraton-Plaza and spon- sored by the Boston Globe. Some 400 members of the club gathered around the effervescent Mr. Smith for over an hour and asked him some mighty diffi- cult questions, but the “old pro” handled everything just fine, after being introduced by Globe Sports Editor Jerry Nason. In answer to the young lady’s question about becoming a major-league ball player, Mr. Smith, pondering his answer, got a trifle red and told her that it would be a pretty rough job breaking in. “Even if you were a sports writer they wouldn’t let you in the press box, and if you were a player they would probably have to build another locker room,” reckoned Mr. Smith. Before introducing the speaker, Mr. Robert L. M. Ahern, Promotion Director of the Globe, presented cash awards to three editors for their reports on the December meeting. The winners were: Sandra Lee Gardner of of Hyde Park High, Judith Lee Bedrick of Newton High, and Janet Resteghini, of Som- erville High. Red Smith was also asked who, in his opinion was Boston’s greatest athlete. He answered, “John L. Sullivan, without a doubt. The great Sullivan was not only a good boxer, but an excellent swimmer and runner besides.” When asked about the trading of Jimmy Piersall for Vic Wertz, Smith replied, “The Sox got what they needed, a player who is a long-ball hitter.” Someone asked Red how he got started in his sports writing career. “I grew up in small towns in slum areas with bad plumbing, no lighting, and terrible ventilation. This led me into sports. Being the smallest kid in the neighborhood, with glasses, no athletic ability and just a little coward in me, I was forced to read books. This somehow got me through college. Fire- engine chasing in Milwaukee led me to sports writing,” Red explained. After the questions, Well-answered by Red, We knew we’d remember Each word that he said. And we could do well To profit from his clues, For Smith is a veteran In the world of news. In closing, Red advised, “Never be afraid to write something because it has never been handled in that manner before. Express your own ideas, no matter how unconventional they may be.” Five LISTEN BEFORE YOU LEAP Rita Riccardi ’(� 0 If music came made to order for each per- son, what a variety of packages there would be. Some like it hot; some like it cool; others prefer it lukewarm; and still more like it strictly room temperature. Of course, like anything else, these differences in opinion and taste may be attributed to indivdual per- sonalities. Too often personal tastes grow into strong prejudices which result in unjust degradation of both a class of music and its advocates. First, there is the person who absolutely loathes, despises, abhors, and detests the sound of anything unless it can instill in him that “real-gone feeling. Anyone who listens to the “other kind of music, according to him, is classified as a first cousin to the new- est issue of the Consolidated Box Company. On the other hand, there is that person who disdainfully describes modern music and jazz as nothing but a loud noise. “I can’t, they say, “stand dissonance; it has no melody. Modern music is a sign of the times, city life, taxi-taxi, wild youth, crime, and all that sort of thing. Regardless of people’s aversions to specific types of music, if they are honest, they will admit there is a definite place for all music. After all, you wouldn’t want jazz as a back- ground to “Romeo and Juliet, and you can’t cha-cha to Beethoven! HAPPY LITTLE ISLAND Janet Resteghini ’59 “My goodness, I’m glad this is my shift, said Janie, breathing a deep sigh of relief. “I’ll say, said Kathy, her best friend. “We can get some peace and quiet for a period. Does this conversation sound familiar? It could very well be the one spoken by some of our student librarians who volunteer their time and energy in the interest of the Somer- ville High School Library. Our brightly attractive library on the sec- ond floor of the Central Building welcomes visitors during the school day, or after school until 3:15. Its happy pink atmosphere will envelope you once you step inside the door. Shelves of brightly bound books will meet your eye, along with the most popular and enjoyable periodicals, all of which are yours to borrow if you desire. The reference department of the library offers a wealth of facts for the inquiring mind to gain new understanding and apprec- iation of his school subjects. Well-marked shelves will direct the reader to exactly what he wants. For the browser, there are many books on display, as well as numerous sports trophies. Permits to study in the library during free periods may be obtained from the librarian before school or at the short recess. No per- mits are given after the 8:28 bell or after the warning bell at the close of recess. For you sport lovers the library now offers some wonderful locker room snacks of nonfic- tion and fiction. For instance, for basketball lovers there are two fascinating books: “Fighting Five, by William Heuman, and “Winning Basketball Plays, by Claire Bee. In the football department: “Hard to Tackle, by Gilbert Douglas and “Line Smasher, by Dick Friendlich are great fiction reading. If you are a hockey lover, “Lightning on Ice, by Philip Horkins and “Captain of the Ice, by Charles Verral, will prove to be exciting reading. There are also selected books on baseball and track if you prefer. So, scurry, soph; jump, junior; and scam- per, senior, to Room 215. Once you are in the relaxed air of the surroundings, read some of Six the wonderful volumes, and get some good hard studying done there, you will want to visit regularly to hear only one sound, the soft flutter of pages turning—music to any school’s ears. ARE MID-YEARS HERE TO STAY? Nancy Swett ’60 Mid-year examinations can fall into two categories—those which are nerve-wracking, but helpful, and those which are simply nerve- wracking. It is an undisputed fact that for those who intend to go on to college, these exams are immensely helpful as practice ma- terial. Yet, mid-years can be harmful rather than helpful, if not properly administered. Dur- ing the week and a half in which tests were given at S.H.S., students not only had their usual daily homework assignments to com- plete, but also the added burden of studying for mid-years. The tests were given within the regular class sessions, and the normal 45-minute class period in most classes pro- vided insufficient time for completion of the tests. The result was that either the students had to return after school to finish their work, or the exam could be continued the following day. This needlessly prolonged the pressure of the exams. On certain days, some pupils had as many as three exams in consecutive periods. Often exams were given during the last period. Naturally, the results in both instances weren’t the highest possible scores because of fatigue. Perhaps a possible solution to the problem is to schedule the tests as many neighboring schools do. One week is set aside exclusively for tests and marking. For three days tests are given, ranging from one to three hours in length. No other classes are held on these days so that the pupils may go home and use the remaining time in study- ing for the next day’s tests. No classes are held on the remaining two days so that the instructors may have ample time for cor- recting the tests. On the whole, our exams were worth- while and profitable. Since this is the first year that mid-years were given in all sub- jects, this year’s exams were given on a rather experimental basis. Many college freshmen report to their respective high schools that one of the most difficult phases of college is becoming accustomed to the con- stant examinations. One thing is obvious— MID-YEARS ARE HERE TO STAY. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: The letter which was signed “A Furious Senior,” really got me. Just because she is a senior doesn’t mean she’s better than the sophomores. Maybe if she didn’t dilly-dally along at lunch time she’d get a seat. I hope by reading this letter she’ll know how the sophomores feel. I’d advise her to think it over because she was a sophomore once. An Aggravated Sophomore Dear Editor: The letter from the well-qualified, but not- so-popular Lizzy was really an example of sour grapes. Elections are not popularity con- tests, some students are more well-known than others, but this could be because of their pleasing personalities and is not an indication that they aren’t well-qualified. Sweet Grapes Seven THOSE LITTLE DOTS Kenneth Packard ’61 Have you ever wondered, as you looked at the paper, how they managed to print all those pictures in it or, if you are of the scien- tific type, wondered how the pictures were composed with all those little dots? Well, some of the Radiator Staff and the Science Club had a chance to find out recently, when they went on a field trip to Donovan Sul- livan, Engravers, in Boston. There we were shown the y and 1 ton cameras which make a negative of the origi- nal copy. This is where these dots first be- gin to appear. The negative is made by special plates which are cross-hatched. At the intersection of the lines the light will make a black, white, or any-shade-in-bet ween dot on the sensitized negative paper. When many thousands of these multi-shaded dots are brought together they form a picture. Next, in the stripping shop, a drafts- man takes the negative and makes allow- ances for the stretching of the final plate when it is curved to fit the printing rolls. The next shop is where they distinguish between a half-tone and a line drawing. A half-tone is a picture made up of darker and lighter areas, which category includes all MAIN OFFICE Mi$s Tripp, Miss 8rcnnon, Miss Kelley (example of half-tone) photographs. The line drawing is made up, simply, of lines. Technical drawings, graphs, type, etc, are run on this form of plate. The basic difference between the two types is that when the negative is made of the line drawing, it is made without the cross- (cxamplc of line drawing) hatched plates, therefore eliminating the dots. The half-tone negatives are placed over a sensitized sheet of copper or zinc and ex- posed. Then they are placed in an acid bath, which dissolves the metal around the dots or lines. The plate is then baked to harden the acid-resisting enamel. Next the color plates are taken to the color re-etching desk. There, the areas which need accenting are built up with acid- resisting inks. The half-tone and line plates are taken to a proofreader who examines the plates for imperfections and corrects them. Finally the plates are sent to the routing and cutting shop where the finished plates are mounted on wood blocks which raise the plates to standard type height. Then they are trimmed to the desired dimensions by high-speed saws and routers. Having been completed, the finished plates are sent to the many magazines, newspapers, and publica- tions, like our own Radiator and Yearbook, which use this type of pictorial representa- tion. Now you have some insight as to the Eight work that goes into these plates and as to what is behind all of those little dots, haven’t you? SERVICE WITH A SMILE We would like to pay a direct, simple tribute to those students of the high school who gave their time and energy liberally in recent volunteer drives. Perhaps someday you will receive a more eloquent tribute, but right now this comes from our hearts. We want you to know we are proud of the work you are doing, even if we sometimes forget to make our thoughts known. The best way we can show our appre- ciation is to get in and help with you. How about it, students? Join hands with this group and help the less fortunate. You will be giving the most precious gift possible— your time, service and friendliness. Here are the names of students who have started the ball rolling. How about doubling or tripling the list?

NEED MONEY? About this time of year, seniors get anxious as we hear of college tuition going up. Have you surveyed all the possibilities? There are numerous scholarships available through the school and other sources. Perhaps you might be one of the lucky ones this year. On page 10 and 11 you will see how the class of ’58 fared. THRIFT TEACHES Thrift, according to Mr. Webster, is eco- nomic management. There are, however, other types of thrift besides thrift of money. There is thrift of time, energy, and health, for instance. Being thrifty with money will teach us to be frugal with these other things. “Teaching your child to get along on small means is leaving him a fortune.” How true this is, for if we are trained now to get by on a small amount, and there comes the day when you must economize we will find the adjustment much easier. We in the high school should be proud to know that 130 of our classmates together with our bank advisors, Miss Weisman and Miss Palmer, are handling the huge task of supervising the school banking program for the whole city. More recognition should be given them for the wonderful job they are doing. As of the first week in February, $13,462 has been deposited in the school bank. This is for the high school alone. The leading contributors to this cause are senior rooms 151, 152 and sophomore rooms 106, 204, and 354. These are the rooms which have 100 per cent participation con- stantly. Come on, you other homerooms, jump on the thrift bandwagon. Then if you see a dress you simply must have or an accessory for your car which is just super, you’ll have the money all safe and soundly registered in your little green bankbook. “Take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves.” Nine SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Graduation, Class of 1958, June 9, 1958 Scholarships, Awards, Etc. 1.

Get off that table and chair. What was that crash from the kitchen ? Oh what are you doing in there? I don’t like the sound of water running, Slowly, slowly . .. faster! Oh what are you doing, Bonny ? “Nothing,” is her answer. WOULD-BE AVIATORS TOUR AIR FORCE BASE Wonderful happenings around Boston make fascinating field trips for air-minded students. Two physics classes, accompanied by their teachers, Mr. Simmons and Mr. Protopapas, recently toured the Boston Airport installa- tion of the Massachusetts Air National Guard as guests of the 102nd tactical Fighter Group of the Massachusetts ANG. This is the third consecutive year classes have toured the base. The 35 boys were welcomed by Col. Olcott M. Brown on behalf of the commanding officer, Brig. Gen. Charles W. Sweeney. They toured the hangar, where planes un- dergoing inspection or repair are housed; the parachute shop, where they learned that parachutes are orange and white because these colors stand out best against the sky, and the engine shop where they saw several jet engines. They also learned about the Link trainer, a simulated cockpit in which the would-be pilot learns the fundamentals of navigation and instrument flight. In this dis- embodied cockpit a pilot learns to handle different flight situations. Rough weather? Flick a switch and you’d think there was a real storm brewing. All questions were answered cordially and explicitly. The trip made more realistic some of the high points of science now being studied. “MR. MISCHIEF” Janet Resteghini ’59 Look at him sitting there Watching jne. Bad, bad, kitty. White paws, white nose. Black ears, black legs, Black spot, goodness knows What he is thinking — Big green eyes staring oi t “Mr. Mischief.” Whiskers shooting here and there, Giving him a certain something— A rather distinguished air?

Twelve FATE SOMETIMES SMILES Diane Fernandes '60 “Beth, come into the kitchen for a mo- ment ; Dad and I want to talk with you. “All right, mother, I’ll be right there. Beth Carter jumped from the seat where she had been sitting, watching television. A pretty girl, with blue eyes and golden hair, she had a personality that made everyone she came in contact with, her friend. “Dad wants to say something to you, Beth, her mother said softly. “Why, mother, what’s wrong? You look so solemn! “Well, Beth, her father started slowly, “Mr. Jordan, my boss, called me into his office today and said there is going to be a change in my route. “But, dad, what does that have to do with me? Beth interrupted. “You see, Beth, the route will be in New Hampshire, so that will mean we will have to move. “Move! cried Beth, “What’ll I do? I’ve lived in Somerville all my life. All my friends are here. I won’t know anyone in New Hamp- shire. I won’t go. I’ll stay here. “Now, Beth, don’t act like a child. You know you’ll have to go, too. I know it doesn’t sound fair to you, but if you don’t go, I’ll lose my job and you know very well we couldn’t afford that. You’ll make friends there, just as you have here, pleaded her father. Beth jumped from the kitchen chair and ran to her bedroom, slamming the door be- hind her and crying, “I won’t go, I won’t go! The next day Beth left for school by her- self, not waking her mother. She walked slowly as if to prolong the ordeal of telling her friends. She had only walked a few blocks when she heard a boy’s voice calling her name. Her heart began to pound as the owner of the voice caught up with her. The owner was a tall boy with dark hair and the deepest blue eyes Beth had ever seen. His name was Tom Bartlett, the boy she had liked for so long, but who up to month ago, had never paid any attention to her. “Boy, he said, “you sure look like you’ve lost your best friend. “I feel it, she, said without offering an ex- planation for her gloominess. “Beth, I want to ask you somethng. “What is it, Tom? “Well, will you go to the prom with me?” “Oh, Tom, I can’t go to the prom with you or anyone else, she answered. “You see, she started slowly, “we’re moving soon, Tom. “Moving? said Tom, as she started to tell her story. “Beth, he said finally, after she had explained, “we’ll figure something out. You’ll go to the prom with me yet. “But, Tom, how? It was too late to ex- plain; they had reached the school and had to separate. “Wait for me after school. I’ll think of something, he called back. The day seemed endless to Beth, but finally the dismissal bell rang, and Beth raced to meet Tom out in front of the school. Before very long she saw him approaching. “I’ve got it! he cried. “But I won’t be able to tell you until tonight, because I’m not sure it will work. “Okay, Tom, I guess I’ll have to wait until tonight. Thirteen By seven o’clock that evening Beth was ready to scream, but the bell rang and Tom came in all out of breath and his eyes glowing. “It worked,” he cried. I thought it would. It had to!” “Take it easy, Tom. Start at the beginning and tell us what happened,” said Beth. Tom sat down and began to tell his story. “Do you remember I told you my Uncle Ralph worked for the same company as your father? Well, it so happened that my uncle has been saying he wanted to get his route changed so he could be nearer to his son and daughter-in-law. When I told him about your father, he said he’d speak to Mr. Jordan about changing his own route instead of your father’s. Mr. Jordan said he didn’t care who took the new route so long as someone went. Now you won’t have to move at all. Isn’t that great ?” “It certainly is, Tom. Now after you've done all this for us, I guess I’ll have to go to the prom with you,” giggled Beth. “Come here, you little rascal,” said Tom. Beth ran, with Tom at her heels, to the front porch where they sat down breathlessly and made plans for the future. TWO VERSUS TWO HUNDRED Alvin Matthew ’59 The date had been set for weeks; the time and place of departure fully agreed upon, if, (and such a big “if”)—it would only snow in time for our sleigh-ride party. It began to appear as if we were in for a snowless winter, when suddenly it snowed. It snowed for three consecutive days. Beautiful, deep, hard- packed snow! Everyone met at the Riding School as pre- arranged, piled high into sleighs and pungs rented from the local milk company and set off on a brisk, moonlit night. The full moon was more than we had even bargained for, with its reflections making the snow sparkle and glisten like rare blue and silver jewels. Plans had been made by the counsellors to re-open one of the forester’s cabins about fif- teen miles along the route. The woods just seemed to ring and re-echo with the sounds of laughter and singing. Arriving at the cabin the boys unhitched the horses, let them into a shelter, and blanketed them. Everyone was busy lugging in thermos jugs, sandwiches, even marshmal- lows to toast. One of the girls brought her record player; another, a portable radio. We hauled hay indoors from the pungs, spread it around in front of the fireplace and covered it with army blankets. By then everybody was literally starving. Eating, marshmallow toasting, jokes and story-telling began imme- diately. Someone started “What would you Fourteen do” stories which ranged from the ghostly to the extremely funny. Someone even asked, “What would you do if you were all alone in in the middle of ‘nowhere’?” All too soon it was time to start for home. En route home, what did we find but a car that had broken down and for the first time in this day and age, a two-horsepower ve- hicle towed a 200 horsepower vehicle to a garage. SUBURBIA Susan Kaup '60 As Oliver Whitcomb was glancing through the newspaper, trying to think of something to give his friends, he came across an ad which blared from the page, “Create this life-size, ‘Living Statue’ of yourself in less than 55 minutes!” ‘“Hmmm,” said Oliver. Now Oliver was a very average, ordinary man of this era. He lived in his seven-room ranch house, which was plunked in the middle of a forest of other seven-room ranch houses. This forest was called the “suburbs.” Oliver left his house at exactly 6:10 every morning, and pulled out of his garage two minutes later, just as every other working man in the “forest” did. Oliver then drove steadily for fifty-eight minutes until he reached the city. At seven-five he pulled into his usual parking spot in front of the office, and at seven-eight he was seated at his desk, ready for whatever the day would bring. When the working day was over, Oliver re- turned home in a fashion similar to his ar- rival at work, changed into his slippers just before his wife placed an inevitable casserole supper on the table at exactly six-thirty-one. But Oliver, mediocre as he may appear at first glance, did not enjoy this regimented ex- istence. He was no one-sided automaton; there was another side to his character. Oliver was “creative.” When the dull, routine work-week was over, Oliver began to “live.” All week long he labored noisily and hap- pily out in the yard, or, in the winter, at his cellar work-bench. Oliver was a “Do-It-Your- self Man!” “A Do-It-Yourself Man,” Oliver once said, “receives a great deal of satisfaction from his accomplishments.” One had only to walk through Oliver’s home to see how satisfied he was! Oliver’s house was a veritable “Do-It- Yourself” paradise, and his most precious possession was an expandable copy of the “Better Homes and Gardens’ ‘Handyman’s Handbook’.” Oliver had, by stint of many hard week- end’s work over a four-year period, trans- formed his once drably conventional house into a charming, lovely home. The neighbors never tired of complimenting Oliver on “the wonderful job you did on the boys’ room,” or “your marvelously expressive paintings.” Yes, he was an artist, too. The walls of his house were literally “covered” with paintings. Many’s the evening Oliver spent filling in all the spaces numbered “5” with chartreuse and all the ones numbered “62” with pink. As Oliver once said of his backyard barbecue, “Next to making actual building improve- ments in my home, there is nothing I enjoy more than creating delicious symphonies of color from a hodgepodge of numbers.” (That first adjective might have been inspired by the smell of charcoal steak growing black. . . blacker! “My Steak,” yelled Oliver! The rumpus room was Oliver’s pride and joy, the phoenix of his accomplihsments. He had worked on it for fifty-two weekends and his July vacation before it was finished. Oliver and his brother-in-law installed the diamond (circle-check) linoleum patterned floor in a scant three months. Oliver designed the wall- paper pattern himself—“the free-form flower patterns” provide an interesting contrast to the rhythmic geometric design on the floor. The two surfaces are tied together by the repeated use of tones of the same shade of purple,” explained Oliver. (Now that the rumpus room is completed, no one dares “rumpus” in it for fear of incurring Oliver’s wrath.) Oliver’s rumpus room was a triumph of the unusual. Oliver liked to give unusual presents to his friends, too. He liked to give personal, crea- tive, ... “Do-It-Yourself”... presents. “Hmmm,” said Oliver, as he re-read the ad, “Living Statues” . . . eh!” Hmmm. . .” Fifteen WHEN DIFFERENCE DOESN’T MATTER Dale Dangora ’59 Maureen stared disconsolately out of the window. Big snowflakes drifted down un- noticed. This was unusual because she loved the snow. Any other day she would have been out walking in it, but not today. She sighed and turned to go downstairs to help her mother prepare breakfast. It wasn’t Mom’s fault that she couldn’t have a new dress for the Winter Formal. But she hadn’t expected her parents to buy it. She had been willing to get a job and pay for it herself. Since I)ad had hurt his back, though, Mom had had to get a job, and Maureen was needed at home to care for the two younger children. Out of necessity, they had made over last year’s dress. It was really a pretty dress, Maureen told herself, but all the girls had already seen it. Well, there was nothing that could be done now. The formal was that night. Trying not to show her despair, Maureen went about her housework and dutifully watched her brothers. Rick was to pick her up a 7:30, so she started to get ready about 4:00 P.M. By 7:20 her black hair was combed into waves, and she was dressed in the white dress. “You look lovely, dear,” Mom said. But mothers always said things like that, no mat- ter how a person looked. They were preju- diced. Once at the dance, Maureen went to the powder room to join her girlfriends. Because all had new dresses, she felt awkward and out of place, but smiling and talking gaily, she concealed her uneasiness. Several moments later, when she was dancing with Rick, he looked down at her. “Are you happy?” he asked. Conscious of the orchid pinned to her shoulder, she read the admiration in his eyes. He didn’t care that her dress wasn’t new. He probably didn’t even know the difference. She smiled, “Yes, I’m very happy, Rick.” She meant it, too. DAY’S END William Harrow ’60 The night is still, the air is calm The day is at an end, When suddenly, a hot-rod Comes racin’ ’round the bend. A stifled cry, a screech of brakes, The hot-rod missed the bend; The night is still, the air is calm, And life is at an end. NIECES Janet Resteghini ’59 Eyes of hazel—flashing, flashing. Cups’n’saucers—smashing, smashing. Little nieces Sue and Kay Have just dropped in to spend the day. All my treasures I have hidden, ’Cause I’m sure I’ll be bed-ridden When they go away. Little kitten, running, running. Two small ladies, cunning, cunning. Bits of paper, scattered dolls Many fistfights, many falls. “Ladies, please!” I scream and holler Grabbing tiny dress and collar. This goes on for hours and hours. Oops! there goes a vase of flowers! But soon the father of Sue and Kay Comes to take his girls away. Then with aspirin and magazine I quietly sit down to dream About my naughty, noisy nieces Whom I simply love to pieces. Sixteen NIGHT MIST Salvatore Abisso 59 PURPOSE Frank DeCaro ’59 I often wonder what this life Is worth? For what purpose Are we here ? I see the sloth, Lu6t, and filth of an indifferent Existence. The laziness and feeling Of contentment with mediocrity Sickens me like the smell of Rotten eggs. But then on the other Hand. I see the wonders of the Simple things around me. I see the tiny hummingbird Ever in peril of his life, yet Continuing on his way like a Carefree wanderer. The beaver Who works the day through, Sometimes to have his dam Smashed like a delicate piece Of china, begin to rebuild His fortress, as though nothing Had happened. When I see Such courage as that displayed By the hummingbird and The beaver, uncomplaining, I Shoulder my burden and Continue on my way. COASTING Rosalie Paino ’59 A hill, a sled painted bright red, The name in yellow; A boy in cap, mittens, and wrap; A happy fellow! A track like ice that’s nice; A scrape and rumble; A little swerve, a tricky curve, And such a tumble! A whirl, a stop, the sled on top; Snow all this hiding; A merry laugh, yet this is half The fun of sliding! The night mist settles over the darkened city Hiding its every street with a smoke-white hand. Far in the distance a glimmer of light Slants from a window Inserting a wisp of reality into a mystic dream. The clicking of footsteps echoes through the maze, And muffled voices float by. The patter of a cat running swiftly along Awakes one from a listless daze. Then in the sky, rays of moonlight Break through the mist, like peering eyes of God Probing into the hidden city, To reassure His creatures until He lifts His strange night mist. PERSEVERANCE — DOES IT PAY? Dorothy Thorne ’59 How sad and mournful at times are the days of Youth, That time when heartbreak and failure should be incentives To spur us on to greater achievement, But may only hinder us with their cruelty and discouragement. “Profit by your mistakes, you who are young—you who have so much to learn.” Wise men tell us. Yes, we feel that we have an eternity in which to learn, But even these thoughts are not sufficient consola- tion for us Because Fate can step in and our next failure may be the result of our very last attempt to succeed. A DYING TREE Carol Beraldi ’61 The tree stood bare and lonely there Its leaves had gone away somewhere. Its arms were spread o’er a dusty land. If only God could lend a hand. And wet its leaves, and feed its bark, To make a home for the graceful lark. Withered, bent, alone in despair, It dies without fond Nature’s care. Seventeen SEARCH FOR GLORY Brian Brady ’60 Charles Evans was the youngest of a fam- ily of six boys. His brothers were all tall and built like athletes, but Charles, the last of the brood, was an exception. He was called “The Runt.” James, the oldest, became renowned for his prowess in basketball. Tom excelled on the baseball diamond, and Don was a mighty quarterback. Medals for swimming covered the chest of Art, and John was mean com- petition in hurdling and high jumping. Charles, with such an array of family glory always being paraded before him, soon began to understand what was expected of him. He was coached by each of his brothers as soon as he was able to walk. “The Runt” didn’t take kindly to their instructions. He, unlike the others, developed a liking for books and his studies. He reached Shelton High School without distinguishing himself in any type of sport. He was, however, a favorite of his teachers because of his interest in his studies. He excelled in math and chemistry. One day, the five brothers decided to hold a meeting to discuss how they could make their little brother a hero. James said, “Now, fellas, we must decide which sport “Runt” plays halfway decently and concentrate on building up his skill in that one.” Art replied sarcastically, “In that case, tiddlywinks would be my choice.” “Fine hero that would make him,” Don chimed in. The boys’ mother spoke from the doorway, “Why don’t you leave Charles alone? He is content the way he is.” Charles, listening from the other room, be- came very upset to learn that his brothers were disappointed in him. It wasn’t that he didn’t like sports, but he just didn’t have the ability to excell in them. He was relieved to find out later that they had decided to drop the project. The boys’ father had made a barn at the rear of the property and the boys used it as a gym. There was one corner boxed off which Charles used as a workshop. Many happy hours were spent in the homemade gym. Often the athletic five would show some in- terest in Charles’ experiments. This particular summer had been a dry one. Farmers prayed for rain and even the Evans boys were tired of the ever-lasting, hot, dusty days. They spent more time in their gym out of the glare of the brassy sun. Don used an electric football game to plan plays for the games next year. It was an old one, and the wire covering had worn thin. When he left the barn he neglected to turn off the game. Soon the wires shorted and sparks flew about, igniting papers which lay nearby. It wasn’t long before the fire had worked itself into a roar. Charles, reading on the shady porch, heard a crackling sound and left his comfortable chair to investigate the noise. Seeing the blaze he let out a shout which brought the others running. “Call the Fire Department!”, someone shouted. There was great confusion, with everyone running and shouting directions. Charles quietly made his way to his chemistry workshop. Hidden away in a corner, was a fire extinguisher filled with a solution which he had compounded in his spare time. He soon had the blaze under control. When the Fire Department came, Chief O’Hara said, “If this fire had gone out of control in this dry season, the whole town would have gone up in flames. You can thank Charles Evans for saving the town.” Two weeks later a medal was presented to Charles. Right then and there the brothers decided to give up the search for glory— “The Runt” had stumbled upon it himself.

TOMMY BRENNAN 59 If, in your present circle of acquaintances here at SHS, there is a senior boy about six feet two inches tall, with brown hair and brown eyes and a pleasant personality, then you've already met Tommy Brennan. But, for those of you who haven't, we want you to know that last year Tommy was king of the junior prom and proved his amazing athletic ability over and over again as an outstanding member of the basketball and baseball teams. This year, he is once again an active player for the basketball team, and also a member of the Entertainment Group. Tommy’s favorite pastime is eating, and he especially enjoys pizza and ice cream. His favorite song is “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, by the Platters, and his pet peeves in- clude porch lights and clocks. Tommy told us that his dream girl, who must be about five feet three inches tall and have short brown hair and brown eyes, must also be very patient and “be able to put up with a grouch. Looking to the future, Tommy hopes to attend either Annapolis or St. Michael’s. PHYLLIS OATES '59 If someone flies past you in the corridor at supersonic speed, don't be alarmed—it’s only Phyllis Oates. Phyllis is an energetic lass whose “extra- curriculars will fill at least a dozen lines in the Yearbook. One can’t possibly think of the Music Department without thinking of Phil. She’s president of the Girls’ Glee Club, and acts as secretary of the SHS Glee Club. Be- cause she is a willing worker, the Student Council, Portia, and the Class Day Com- mittee all benefit from her membership. As an active member of Tri-Hi-Y, she was elected president of the club last year. Phyllis is now the present Associate Worthy Ad- visor of the Rainbow Girls, and will step up to the position of Worthy Advisor in the spring. Her other outside activities include the “Beau Mondes. In her spare (?) time, Phyllis works in a restaurant in Boston- Her favorite pastimes include listening to Frank Sinatra; talking on the phone; staying out late; pajama parties; and sleeping from 2 to 5 in the afternoon. On graduation from high school, Phyllis would like to go to Salem State Teachers’ College to train for elementary school teach- ing. From there Phyllis hopes to branch out into social work. Whatever your final de- cision, Phyllis, we wish you the best of luck. Twenty-six Have You Met ? NANCY OSGOOI) ’59 “The Brain” is another name for Nancy Osgood. She is constantly on the Credit and Maximum Credit lists and is graduating with honor. Nancy's favorite subject is 4th year Latin, in which she is an “A” pupil. Nancy, alias “Chester the Churchmouse” (?), claims her pet peeve is people. However, when you see her walking to classes simply surrounded by many friends, you can see this is a fallacy. After school, Nancy can be found eating pizza, or watching YMCA basketball games. If not, she probably will be at Rainbow, or at church, where she is a second grade Sunday School teacher and Secretary of the Metho- dist Youth Fellowship. Steak, and peanut-butter-and-jelly sand- wiches rate high on her list. In attire, Nancy loves pleated skirts and bulky sweaters. Nancy hopes to attend Jackson next year to study psychology. Afterward she plans to earn her M.A. in theology. Eventually she would like to become a director of Christian Education. These are big plans, Nancy, but with your qualifications and character, we know you’ll succeed. JOHN TRANIELLO '59 Have you, in your travels around the build- ing, met a six-foot-one-inch, dark-haired brown-eyed, quiet-looking lad? You must have. His name is John Traniello. This senior is a member of the Student Council and the National Honor Society. He is Business Manager of the Radiator, and our senior class treasurer. Last summer he visited Boys’ State for eight days as an official dele- gate from SHS. When it comes to food, roast beef and mushrooms are first on his list. John works afternoons at General Auto Service on McGrath Highway. With this heavy schedule, he does find a few minutes for relaxation and enjoys listening to classi- cal records. Easy-going John has his own ideas of a dream girl. His fair maiden must stand about five feet seven inches and have brown eyes set off by brown hair. She must be sincere and considerate. John stated that his secret desire is to own a flashy red convertible someday. Looking to the future, John plans to attend Bentley's School of Finance. After that he will decide what road to take.

Congratulations to Louise Kinsley on her winning the Homemaker of Tomorrow award. Room 147 is proud of the fact that Anne McWeeny was the recipient of the Good Citi- zenship Award from the Daughters of the American Revolution. Questions in 147: Where did Nancy Muzzioli get that pretty friendship ring? (Santa Claus, maybe?) Is Shirley Letasz’ interest in 76 trombones or just one trombone named Johnny? Who is the mystery boy that Janice Griffin is dying to meet? What do Dotty O’Hearn and the state of Alabama have in common? Why is Joanne Naimo always talking to David Spurio during special? (Would it be because of a relative of David’s?) Is Alan Stanford really interested in dictating stenography to Karen Halaby or just plain interested? Any- one who can answer these questions better leave well enough alone. Hello! Welcome to 150. We would like to in- troduce you to some studious classmates: First of all there is our Fashion Plate, Jean Rumson who is destined to become a model. But wait just a minute. We have a little dancer by the name of Carolyn Auterio who is bound to climb the ladder of fame. Let’s get off this subject for a while and mention our class Romeo. Tony Iarossi, who is usu- ally surrounded by Shirley Fletcher, Nancy Davis, and Joyce Costa, all of whom are full of beauty and laughter. Besides having a Romeo we have a poet, Joan Fumicello, who wrote a very cute and witty “School” poem. Of course we do not want to forget the class sleepyhead, John Joyce. We of 151 have ideas of what the perfect girl should possess In our opinion she should have the big blue eyes of Carol Brown. She should be able to flirt as Alice Ahigian does, have the figure of Mary Jane Kelley, wear the clothes of Connie Briand, and have the intelli- gence of Helen Coffey, but be as quiet as Roberta Moore. If you were to pop your head into room 152 you would see a desk top. Behind it would be Richard Murray. He would tell you that he is studying. What puzzles us, what is he studying? We would like to know why Bob Murray and Gene Murphy find Algebra so fascinating? What really happened to Nancy Bond’s head? Who made the connec- tions for Audrey Forsythe, Nancy Howland, Pauline Primeau, and Peggy Parks to be in the same homeroom. We are sorry to have lost Alex Kouripinis to the Marines. He left Feb- ruary 5th. Room 154 has had some mysterious things going on. Everyone is wondering who Rose Spignese is dreaming about; who Honey Varney’s “Tall Paul” is; who the Cinderella of George Travers is; what makes Donald Malone so shy with girls; how Elaine Cafa- relli could live without her “stars” (hockey players); and why Donald Cook is so happy Twcnty«nii� c coming from fifth period? Wait! Thomas Jen- nings and Deborah Heelan are talking about something interesting. See you next issue when we get the scoop. 149 is the room that has Carmen Gailey to serenade you, and Elaine Guisti, Janice Ash- endon, and Gerry DiBona to assist her. Is there any person who can tell us the reason why a certain boy in room 330, who put a gleam in Anna DiSarcina’s eyes, has stopped dropping by our homeroom after lunch ? The gleam is gone, but she won’t give us any an- swers to the questions we ask. Does anyone know why Emma Cafarelli dreams of going to North Carolina? Could it be because of Ritchie ? Room 241 congratulates Barbara Davidson on her volunteer work at Somerville Hospital. Nancy Burns has been chosen as our official Ambassador to Italy. She ran out of spa- ghetti to indulge in. The big mystery here is who winds up Rita Naimo in the morning? When you hear the buzzing going on, it is probably about how nice June Piasick’s pic- tures came out. Do “Old flames never die, or just fade away,” asks Janice Englison. A nickname has just been given to Caroline Scutalaro—“Scottycat ” (Author unknown). We have finally decided who’s who and what’s what for the future. Mary Cronin, nurse; Russell Brown, Mr. V. I. P.; Joanne Babcock, Mrs.???, and Elizabeth Penning- ton, music teacher. Attention! Room 243 salutes the girls’ new hair styles. Why are Joe Celli, Bill O’Brien, Joe Rovatti, and John Traniello so outnum- bered by the girls? Do they like it this way? We notice the school driving car is still in one piece, so Phyllis Jackson and Carol Taylor couldn’t be doing much driving. Congratula- tions to Mary Nielson and Elaine Peak upon receiving their hope chests, and also to Marcia DiSilva on receiving her diamond. Why is the subject of Arlington never drop- ped between Rita Corte and Dianne Ander- son? Why is the name David so commonly spoken between Elaine Peak and Sheila Doherty? What do Gerry Romana and Carol Poti have so much to talk about? Why are Janet Resteghini, Bev. Richardson and Eunice Harrison so anxious to get down to the Radiator Room? Could it be because of Clyde? Welcome to 244. Ron D’Onofrio’s class pic- tures have everybody flipping. It seems as though Dr. John Picardi likes telling people his philosophy on life. Why does Janice Nis- senbaum like to chew gum so much? Why does Louise Fortune write a certain person’s initals on her papers? Why does Paul Gos- digian bring his History book home every night? Hi! This is 245. It is now the basketball season. Our room is certainly well repre- sented by Co-Capt. Vinny Piro, and his teammates Bill DelVechio, Eddy Braga, and Henry Kilty The girls are equally repre- rented. Joanne Palazzola is President of the Girls’ Athletic Association, guard on the Girls’ Varsity team and winner of the dou- bles badminton tournament with her partner Karen Jones. Marie DeFlumeri is Captain of the Badminton group. The boys are cheered by Jeanne Capobianco and Jeanne Capagnone. All aboard!!! Next stop room 250. In this room we have quite a few famous people. First of all our football heroes Freddie Nas- son and Paul Dumas. Our basketball star is John Whelan and Frank Hrubi is on the track team. Oh! Last, but not least, our hockey player Francis Doncaster. As we move along we come to another outstanding person— Priscilla Sotoris. We couldn’t get along with- out her. She’s a librarian at the Central Li- brary and is a real peach. We also provide entertainment between stops and have quite a talented group. In the singing department we have Ronald Della Grotte; our joking clown is Sid Kana; the most charming and beautiful leading ladies, Mary Capobianco, and Anne Kana; and our leading man, Sal- vatore Prato. If you’re ever near room 250, drop in. You’ll have the time of your life. News Flash—The voting results from 251!!! John Malvey and Claudia Kelly, best dressed boy and girl, and Roddy Beaton and Arlene Gillingham, best looking boy and girl. 251 also boasts its athletes: Billy Coombes, hockey; Bob Kennedy, baseball; and John Malvey and Reddy Beaton, our well known basketball players. Some future predictions (Continued on page 32) Thirty Newsflash! Warning to all boys! Jim Mun- roe of 334 reports this strange incident. Dur- ing gym classes, he saw the girls galloping lickity-split across the floor. The girls say they were dancing the polka, but Jim did some undercover (or should it be under- curtain?) work, and discovered that the girls are really training for Sadie Hawkins Day!! We wonder what events prompted a certain English teacher to declare that a week be set aside as “Be Kind to Dumas week!” During the week and a half that everyone else was blue with mid-years, the occupants of 334 suddenly became the gayest, merriest, most fun-loving homeroom in the whole school. Ray Spinosa explains it simply as re- verse psychology. We are quite proud of one of our residents, Susan Kaup. An article about Sue wras printed in the Teenage Section of the Boston Traveler. Girls, are you wondering what to do with an oversized pocketbook? If so, see Ursula Salerno in room 232. While you’re there, be sure to keep an eye out for our Bill Powers, who’s sure to be practicing his basketball. Our deepest sympathy to Joe Santosuosso, who has a broken ankle. Our Bob Barletta was recently elected cap- tain of next year’s football team. We have a line swimming star—Elaine McCoy. Also, two outstanding Jay Vee basketball players, Richard Minesk and Arthur McElroy. A celebrity in 302 is our Mr. Football, Billy Quinlan. We’re mighty proud of him. Room 221’s own private Secret Service Bureau of Investigation has come up with some hot tips! Diane D’s favorite song, “Let’s Go Steady” might just come true! Arlene F. is certainly a “Girl in Love,” but with whom? “Yakety Yak” is by no means a good description of Howard M., who hardly ever speaks! Anyone capable of answering these ques- tions please report to room 313. Why is Patty McCabe seen every morning looking out the window? Why does Mary Andrade adore the name Jimmy? Why is Jimmy Ringland so fond of blue socks? How did Jane Moriarty sell so many cookies? Room 321 also has a few questions to be answered. What boy in room 234 keeps an occupant of 321 dreaming? Who winds Tina Simone up in the morning? Will John Bossi spend the rest of his life making up sixth periods ? We would like to congratulate Frances Lecesse and Rosemarie Parese for making credit the first quarter. The results of 52’s “Most Popular” poll are: record; “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes”; Thirty-one TV Show, “American Bandstand”; vocalists, Connie Francis and Pat Boone; D.J., Arnie Ginsburg. The pupils of Room 224 have elected the following: Most likely to succeed, Marilyn Bargoot and Peter Kerger; class clowns, John Murphy and Virginia Ryan; best- dressed, Catherine Rogers and Cosmo Branco; best-looking, Janet Mucci and Vin- cent Doherty; most popular, Marlene Pitcher and James Ryan. Who's who on the moon ? That's what the occupants of Rocket 235 would like to know. In answer to this question we have taken our annual poll. The results are: Best- dressed, Linda Walker and David Sexton; best-looking, Rosalie Zuccaro and Richard Beattie; most popular, Joan Squizzero and Cosmo Nardella. Of course every rocket needs a good clown to break the monotony. Ours is Manuel Dias. When asked what they would do if they really came from the moon, our would-be space travelers replied: “Ask the little moon-men to take me to their leader.'' (Sandra Walker). The sports teams of Somerville High are well represented by room 31. Among the most prominent athletic celebrities are Davy Cochran, our basketball star, and Tony Sor- dillo and Bobby Cignetti, our track stars. While our boys are dribbling and loping, re- spectively, our majorettes, Nancy McLucas and Sandee Connolly are cheering them on to victory. We also have a saxophone player in our room—the one and only Alex Marciello. As you enter room 25 you are met by our mascot Jimmy Kakos. Near Jim is our class flirt, Paul Morandi, and the class clown, Peter Vidito. While prettiest girl, Marie Mi- celli is having trouble keeping her seat free from obnoxious tacks, our star athlete and handsomest boy, Phil Perry, is busy recal- ling his plays of the basketball game with Revere. We advise everyone to be carefu’ when most popular girl, Judy Shirley, ge'.s her driver’s license. All of us wish Lin i Sferes a happy stay in North Carolina. News from room 24. We have a very ver- satile class: Freddie, who works in the lunchroom, has already been asked to the Prom. Good going, Freddie! We also boast of the Captain of the Jay Vees, Tommy Dona- hue, and the effervescent cheerleaders Bar- bara Wolf, Ellen Kaskaviqui, and Judy Peters. That’s all for now, readers. See you next issue. SENIOR CHATTER (Continued from page 30) are: Judy Boyazian will become a chemistry teacher, Marilyn McGrath, a driving in- structor; Michael Bolis will be the first disc jocky on the moon; and broadcasting straight from Marsville will be the Arnie Tanner’s Mars Bandstand- Last but not least of our predictions—this year, we are happy to say, John Hickey will graduate. If you are crazy enough to enter the little kingdom of 254 you will be greeted at the door by Prince Ronald De Leonardis and di- rectly presented to Princess Virginia Young, who will yell to court jester Phil Ruggerio to come and take you off her hands so she can get her medieval history done before next period. The next person into whose clutches you will probably fall will be king Walter Walsh, who will, more likely than not, present you with a string of pictures (of himself) to admire. If you are lucky enough to escape you will have a chance to rescue the fair Princess Theresa Toto from the evil villain Joseph Petringa and put her safely back into her ivory tower just in time to wave goodbye as the bell rings. Thirty-two Once again, we Sophomores record the past quarter’s events in our own column. The result of the recent poll in 249: pret- tiest girl, Ann Ackerley; most popular, Maria Ghirarda; best dressed, Jeanne Cabino; and class clown, Mary Malloy. Room 249 also has a few pet peeves: Sandra Cesario, school and mid-term exams; Barbara Buckley, second period; Martha Stegleman, know-it-all Seniors; Florence Stack, sixth period; Maureen Burns, a cer- tain person in 249; Helen DiCiaccio, conceited boys who haven’t anything to be conceited about. If anyone desires to have his desk re- paired, call on Barbara Buckley; she does a very good job. Anyone having the answers to these my- teries, please contact the members of 341: Whose letter is Joanne Nocella always waiting for? What is in the notes Barbara Guglietta and Richard Squillante are passing back and forth during special period? What attracts Charlotte Laritar to the water fountain after lunch? What is the motive behind Stanley Ponanno studying so much? 347 has decided that their perfect girl must have the hair of Joan Hardy, the eyes of Francis Tanner, the mouth of Denise Ma- honey, the teeth of Stephany Roderick, the clothes of Donna Kolster, and the personality of Eleanor Drew. For all you part-time detec- tives, 347 has a few “sticklers”: Why is Karen Fralick so anxious for her birthday to come? Why does Joanne Sgro stand out- side room 347 after every period? Now that we of room 350 are right in the swing of things, we would like to extend an invitation to everyone to visit our horn- room and meet some unforgetable people ( or, should we say, characters). Making the in- troductions will be Mary Sheridan, our class Proctor. She will introduce you to the fol- lowing people: Raymond Padalano, better known as the “Millionaire”; Claire Donohue, known as “Bunny”; and Theresa Prevost, “The Nightingale.” Also included in the in- troductions will be Mary Ann Prato (if we can tear her away from her English book!); for your entertainment, Virginia Welch will whistle and cough at the same time (this you’ll have to see!) 349 would like the answers to these ques- tions : Where does Pauline Gioia disappear to during short recess? Why does Jean Mc- Donald like the song “Tall Paul”? Why do Carole Uglietta and Marilyn Marino leave special five minutes early? Why do Florence Boudres and Shirley Anastas look forward to Tuesday’s study period ? Some of 349’s favorite songs are :“Sixteen Candles”, “Donna,” “A Lover’s Question,” “Tall Paul,” “Ambrose Party,” and “Stagger Lee.” 106 has a few busy people: Robert Bald- arch i is on the basketball team, Charles Brawley and Donald De Mita are in the Band, and Sandra Anastas and Judith Hardnett are active cheerleaders. The members of 210 would like to clear up a few mysteries. That boy who is always waiting around room 210; he’s just waiting for Karen Santoro. If you walk by Diane Woods, and she turns red, don't get all “shook”; she has high blood pressure. Room 110 is bursting with busy people: Walter Perry and Jerry Knight are mem- bers of the Junior Varsity basketball team; Walter Perry has also been elected to the Sophomore Executive Committee; Joanne Viola and Linda Munroe have been elected to Student Council. Good luck to all of you! Thirty-thre The 109 Special is steaming through. Standing in the engine car is John Huryno- wicz, with his built-in talking machine. Be- hind John, you will find Jane Gehl, Richard Ghiozzi, and Emil Hanway, entertaining you with their accordions. In the frozen compart- ment you may see Linda Orlando and Judy Farrell figure skating. Jimmy D’Amato and Neil Bilikis can be found in the following car, resting from their studying We mustn’t forget Kenneth McKenzie and Thomas Lovely as our Caboose! Now that we Sophomores have run out of news, we will say “So long until the next issue of the Radiator.” HENRIETTA HEARTTHROB Do you have a problem in your love-life? If so, why not let me solve it for you? Ad- dress your letters to me, Henrietta Heart- throb, care of Room 107B. Dear Henrietta: I am a sophomore, 15 years of age, and I go with a senior in high school. My boy- friend’s marks are going down and I think it is because I am seeing him too often. I don’t want to stop seeing him. What can I do? Goingdown Dear Goingdown: If you really want your boyfriend’s marks to improve in the future, I suggest that you either stop seeing him until they do improve, or don’t see him as often as you do. I hope you find my advice worth-while. Henrietta. Dear Henrietta: I am a Sophomore and I am madly in love with a Senior. He does not even know I’m alive. I hardly ever see him. Please tell me w'hat to do. Lost Soph. Dear Lost: You say you hardly ever see him and from the looks of things you probably don’t know him very well either. I think that you had better do one of three things: find out w'hat he’s really like and then see if you’re still madly in love; get some friends of yours (and his) to introduce you to him; or the most practical thing w'ould be to forget about him. I hope you take my advice seriously. Take your time. You’ve got quite a life ahead of you. Enjoy it for a w'hile. Henrietta Dear Henrietta: My girlfriend w'as engaged to be married, but unfortunately something broke it up. Ever since then, she won’t go to dances, parties or even to the games. I’ve really tried to comfort her even though she acts as though nothing happened, but I know' that she’s always thinking about him through her laughter and wonderful personality. She still sees many of his friends and they are willing to help her forget, but I’m not sure that she wants to. Please tell me how' I can get her out of this fog. Trying Friend. Dear Trying: Did it ever occur to you that she may not want to forget—not for a while any- way. I don’t know' what happened to her boyfriend, but I think that you had better let her w'ork this out for herself. But please don’t get me wrong. I think you're quite a friend for trying to help out. Henrietta. Thirty-four Paul Santoro '51) Well, here we go again, diggin’ the latest hits and happenings in the music world. It seems like the novelty records never had it so good, with the “Chipmunk Song” selling way over the million mark, after being released in early December Other hits in this field in- clude “Ambrose” by Linda Laurie and “The Little Space Girl” by Jesse Lee Turner. Private Elvis Aaron Presley has another hit chalked up (this makes fifteen) with “One Night’ ’and I Got Stung” on the flip- side. The American Bandstand Poll voted Elvis Presley the most popular male vocalist for the year 1958, and his song “One Night” was voted the best record of 1958. Elvis’ latest albums are “Elvis’ Golden Records,” which is composed entirely of his records that have sold over a million copies, and an album from his latest motion picture, “King Creole.” Lloyd Price is doing great on his newest hit “Stagger Lee.” the story of two gamblers —one sore loser. The Cadillacs have done it again with their latest “Peek-a-Boo” and the wonderful Platters are holding on to a very pretty old song, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” Cute little Connie Francis has another hit going in “My Happiness,” a follow-up to her last hit record “Who’s Sorry Now.” The field of the Rhythm-and-Blues style songs are just right for vocal groups like the Crests who do “Sixteen Candles”; Dion and the Belmonts with their latest “Don’t Pity Me,” which is quite a contrast to the other side of their last hit “I Can’t Go On, Rosalie”; and the Coasters’ new one “Charlie Brown” ... he sounds familiar. In the line of instrumentals, a new beat has been introduced by the Applejacks in their “Rock-a-Conga.” This is the same group that made the “Mexican Hat Rock” so popu- lar last year. Ray Anthony really grooved it out with the theme from “Peter Gunn.” This is a sort of a new approach to Rock-n’-Roll, sounding very much like jazz. It’s got a real drivin’ beat, coupled with a screaming tenor sax to make it an outstanding instrumental. Duane Eddy with his “Twangaway Guitar” has done it again, this time the songs are “Lonely One” and “Detour.” Briefly the new releases: “Pretty Girls” by Eugene Church; “Ycu Arc Beautiful” by Johnny Mathis; “Growing Love” the Down- beats; “I’m a Man” by Fabian; “Plain Jane” Mr. Bobby Darin; “I Cried a Tear” by La Verne Baker; “Tall Paul” by Annette; “When the Saints Go Marching In” by Fatts Domino; and “Who Cares” by Don Gibson- The world of music suffered a terrible loss when a plane crash in Iowa took the lives of three recording artists, Buddy Holly, whom we remember for “Peggy Sue,” Richie Valens, newest in the group with his hit “Donna,” and J. P. Richardson the “Big Bop- per” who recorded “Chantilly Lace.” For the albums, that frantic Frankie Sin- tra has two winners: “Only the Lonely,” a sad, sentimental group of songs; and his latest, “Dance With Me,” showing Sinatra’s tremendous “All” in every song. For you Ray Anthony fans, his newest album “Ray Anthony plays Steve Allen” is sure to get your attention. Also in the albums, under vocal groups, the Four Freshmen do “Voices in Love”; and the Four Lads, “Breezin’ Along.” American Bandstand has voted the fol- lowing artists as top in 1958: Elvis Presley; Connie Francis; Fabian, Annette Funicello, Duane Eddy, and the Everly Brothers; and the top record, “One Night” by Elvis Presley.

As you look over the pages of this Yearbook, the Staff earnestly hopes that it will remind you of unforget- table doys at Somerville High, and, if if brings to your hearts a fond reminiscence or two, and a thrill of pride in your alma mater, its purpose will be successfully ful- filled.

Sixty-four yjational JJc onor I will be a loyol member of the Notionol Honor Society in the Somerville High School; steodfost in my purpose to obide by the right, to serve oil just couses, ond to seek the truth with my whole heort. I would prize Scholarship os o sacred trust, and a noble character os my most valuable possession. Beneath the banner of Honor ond Progress I would loyally serve. The record hop at the beginning of the yeor was for the purpose of increasing the Council's treosury. Then the selling of plostic book covers helped to increase the fund for the Council's annual scholarship award. Another undertaking of the year was the revision of the 1946 SHS Handbook. The new Handbook will be given to the incoming sophomores of the class of '62 to familiarize them with school functions. The Spring Convention of the Eostern Massachusetts Student Councils wos held at Westwood High, with junior Paul Murroy representing SHS in the state dele- gate's election. Officers of the Student Council include: Borboro Mur- ray, president; Nancy Noble, vice-president; Anne Zoya, junior vice-president; Louise Kingsley, secretory; and Albert Bowen, treasurer. An SHS alumnus, Mr. Fasciano, is the new faculty advisor. The first Art Club Scholarship Fund Bozoor in Decem- ber was the activity absorbing the time ond efforts of the Art Club throughout the fall. Sponsored by the Somerville Kiwanis Club, the club directed the Annual Kiwonis Club Storlet Show Poster Contest, also. Mony members found the Spring Hop, in April, an ideal time to arrange dates for both the Senior and Junior Proms which were held in Moy. This year, as every year, the outstanding decorations for the Senior Prom were designed by the Art Club. The bluc-and-white theme, Soyonara, was beautifully car- ried out in Japanese motifs. The busy yeor wound up when all members had a delightful time at the outing. Debates, panel discussions, reviews, along with an oc- casional party or dance—these are the many activities which help keep the Portia Deboting Society one of the most active clubs at SHS. There are approximately forty members in Portia, ond ot their weekly meetings they discuss topics ronging from government to every-doy problems of teenogers. Portio's moin purposes ore to develop good speech habits, self-confidence, poise, and knowledge of the cor- rest woy to solve problems. Portio's sociol activities this year consisted of The Holly Hop Christmas donee in December, a semi-formal privote party in Februory, and a spring banquet ot the Town Lyne House. This year's officers were: President, Vivian Santos; Vice-President, Edna Sullivan; Secretory, Joanne Kotell; Treasurer, Eileen DiCiaccio; and Representative to the Student Council, Phyllis Oates. The faculty advisor was Miss Humber, without whose guidonce ond foresight Portia would not have been the successful club that it was this year. anti Books taking you on rides to the western mountains, or flying you to foreign lands, could not very well hove been read without the help of our school librarian, Mr. George Hickey and his thirty efficient library assistants. Arranging the books neatly on the shelves, writing out overdue notices, sending out notices for reserved books, preporing ond filing cotalog cards, these are just a few of the duties of the library assistants. Two library assistants were on duty each period. One assistant was responsible for keeping attendance ond circulation records, and for checking the books in and out. The other assistant worked in Mr. Hickey's office typing colotog cords and preparing new books for cir- culation. The Library Club is not a formal organization. One purpose of this club is to ossist Mr. Hickey in preparing lists of books, mogozines, ond periodicals. Another is to ossist students in correctly using the library facilities. This is very important when the students are doing re- search work for term papers. The Library Club is planning to make two indices: dramo, and short story. These will enable teachers and students to know what dramas and short stories are available for their use in the school library. Sixty-six The unique feoture of the Somerville School Sovings System lies in the foot thot our High School Bonk serves os the headquarters of bonking for the twenty- eight schools in the city. To keep the accounts of oil the depositors in these schools provides quite o task for the members of the Bonk Corps. Of necessity, the Bank Corps is mode up of pupils who hove been especially selected because of good scholastic stonding. The character of the work in the High School Bank is such that only qualified students con be allowed the privilege of receiving the training available there. The Bank provides for the members of the Bonk Corps o pleosant and realistic otmosphere in which the members enjoy working together. The copable and efficient students learn to keep the accurate and up-to- date records while acquiring training on machines and in general clerical duties. The work is carried on in a businesslike manner, thus giving the students valuable, practical experience. Each student gains from working in the Bank the power to concentrate on his own work while others around him ore performing their specific tasks. The members learn that it is of great importance to follow instruc- tions, to be occurate, and to check one's work. These valuable lessons can be of benefit in later life and in oil fields of work. In the week preceding Christmas, members of the Girls' Glee Club and the SHS Glee Club volunteered their voices and their time to bring good cheer at Christmas throughout the city. Transported by buses, they stopped ot the various hospitals, singing the ancient carols. In reward for this disploy of goodwill, the Elks provided hot cocoa and doughnuts for the chilled company. The combined Glee Clubs sponsored one of the largest dances of the year. Enjoyed by both parents and students the Annual Concert directed by the Music Department offered various selections from the scores of Oklahoma'' as well as the more solemn Our Father, The Holy City, and selec- tions from The Messiah. The unlimited talent which is present in the high school wos admirably shown in the program of Talent Night. Every type of entertainment wos represented and every toste in music wos, without a doubt, satisfied. The SHS Glee Clubs participated in many programs outside of school, visiting other high schools and locol institutions. The Glee Club Banquet ond Donee ot the end of the school year offered an opportunity for the groups to en- joy themselves thoroughly with excellent food ond music. SERVICE—This is the purpose to which the Somer- ville High School Key Club is dedicated. The Key Club is sponsored by Kiwonis International, on organization of local clubs to which business men and professional men belong. There ore more than 4000 Kiwonis Clubs in the United States, Aloska, Hawaii, and Canada. Kiwonis wos founded in Detroit in 1915, os a service organization. The name Kiwonis is token from on old Indion term which means We Build. Kiwonis serves the community in mony ways. Members of Kiwonis sponsor boys' ond girls' activities, give vo- cational guidonce, take part in community drives, such as safety campaigns ond fund-raising campaigns. Kiwonis also takes port in public offoirs, and works toward the development of better business and professional standards. Our own Key Club of Somerville High was officially organized on October 25, 1954. Early in January of this yeor the members held on election for officers, ond the results were: President—James Munroe Vice-President—John Campbell Secretory—Richard Knibbs Treasurer—Peter Suffredini Under the guidance of the club's facultly advisors, Mr. David Jones and Mr. Restani, the boys launched once again into a year of service. One of the first pro- jects wos the assembling and sorting of TB pamphlets for the Middlesex Heolth Association. This meant that the boys gove up mony of their free periods and much time after school. Club members have ushered ot activities such as the installation of members of the Notional Honor Society, assisted in Point-Up, Clean-Up Week, at the Starlet Show sponsored by the Somerville Kiwonis Club, at the Men Teachers Record Hop, and the Blood Drive. The Ployers' Club offered many interesting experi- ences to its members, who were either students with a flow of dramotic art in their veins, lovers of drama, or just people who enjoyed working around amateur actors. If acting wos not to their liking, they were important additions as members of the make-up and lighting crew. At the beginning of the year the members sponsored their annual Hallowe'en Hop. In the spring, the annuol Scholarship play, Curtain Going Up, was presented — a story obout the problems confronting dramatic students and their teachers. Sixty-seven 1.

In October, Dorothy Thorne, Editor-in-Chief of the Yearbook, and Janet Resteghini, Editor-in-Chief of the Rodiotor, attended the llth annual New England Scholastic Press Association Convention at Boston Uni- versity's School of Public Relations ond Communica- tions. They were token on guided tours of the school ond sow exhibits of New Englond Scholastic news- papers, magazines ond yearbooks. Loter, they ottended seminors in jourolism where they learned useful facts to put into proctive during the yeor. On the following day, after two more seminars, they ottended the lunch- eon held for the students who ottended the convention. At the luncheon it was announced that The Radiator of 1958 won Highest Achievement and the 1958 Year- book won Superior Achievement in the competition which is conducted annually. r Staff In November, a large delegation of the stoff went to the Boston Globe's High School Editors party, which was held at the Sheraton-Plozo Hotel. Guests were Rodgers ond Hammerstcin, the famous musical pair. During the year then attended several other Globe get- togethers ond met some famous and fascinating people. In December the Rodiotor Stoff, along with the Science Club, visited the Museum of Science. The Harvard Crimson played host one week-end to o bevy of young New Englond journalists, including repre- sentatives from the staff at SHS.. They were oble to see how the Crimson, which is a daily publication, budgets its time and gives each person on the staff o chance to do his shore. When the stoff was not busy attending press confer- ences or winning prizes, they were scrambling around in the no heat, no air Rodiotor Room, 107B, cither proofreading, writing articles, or drawing for the next issue. Groans were uttered by Sandy Cappucchi, a Seventy-four tolented ortist on the stoff, os someone going by pushed her arm while she wos working on a cover. It was not unusual to see the Yearbook editor, our copable Miss Thorne, dashing around the school, a weary photographer dogging her every step. Janet Resteghini, the Radiotor Editor, was usually rummaging through her desk drawer for some lost copy, or working on the dummy for the next issue, with mountains of poper stocked around her and numerous cuts scattered about on the desk. John Traniello, our business monogsr, perpetually checking and re-checking his list of subscriptions and ads, telling us that we must do better next time or hounting us to go out and sell our advertising. Little Emma Coforelli, our co- operative typist wos alwoys looking for the ever-abscnt typewriter croser. Often Frank Hrubi, our sports editor, stomped in with o fascinating idea for o sports lay-out. Let us not forget Worren Mohody over in the corner, who talked to himself while figuring out a plot for another one of his science-fiction tales, or Poul Santoro, who happily hummed while composing his Off the Record column. Isobelle Wornock brought in reports of GAA news, bless her heart. But all of o sudden the oction ceased. Light foot- steps were heard approaching 107-B. Everyone froze. Then everyone hid, for the footsteps belonged to Mr. Pickett, the printer, who had come to get some copy. Ch, no! screech Janet ond Dottie. Yipes! yelled John. Where's that eroser? osked Emma Oh, hello, Mr. Pickett, how are you? , Isabelle put in sweetly. Well, see you oround, gang, said Frank Hrubi, slithering off. Actuolly, Mr. Pickett is really a very kind person who understood oil of our problems and helped us over the rough spots we encountered. Also at the City Press is Mr. Dallas Addison, our amiable linotype operotor, ond Mr. Herbert Leary, Mr. Williom Ford, Mr. Joseph Vegliante, Mr. Joseph Giovino, ond Bill and Tom Pickett, pressmen. These men were very good to us, using extra time ond effort to com- pensate for our inexperience. While the staff would be rushing around to meet the deodline, our moscot, Cylde , o stuffed tiger, calmly looked down ot us from his lofty perch on the files. Clyde was the only one who kept his head in all Jan crowns Jean os Dottie looks on odmiringly. Louise Kinsley. Emma Coforelli, Barbara Murroy, Rita Folco. Any typing todoy? the confusion, but thot was obviously bccousc he didn't understand the situation. In the early part of the year, the Radiator Staff sponsored a donee in our gymnasium. Tom Evans wos the disc jockey and Jeon Rumson, '59, was chosen queen of the dance. The stoff made very clever deco- rotions, which included a wishing well which wos used to raffle off record albums. The dance wos o very suc- cessful ond enjoyable offoir. As the senior stoff closes the door on our beloved Radiator Room for the last time, we leove behind, to the stoff of yeors to come, the numerous cuts used in pub- lication, pins ond scissors for making up the dummy, bristol board for our art-minded friends, the chairs ond table, the typewriter, a useful veteran without which we could not have managed, Clyde, our precious mascot, and oil the laughter, witticisms, perplexing moments, dreams, friendships, and hoppy times we have enjoyed in 107B. They will be lasting ond precious memories, always. A perplexing moment for Eunice.

It is under the direc- tion of Mr. Simmons. The purpose of the club is to develop on interest in science, and this is aided by the equipment thot is ovoiloble in the high school. The club members corried on various activities dur- in the year, one of these being the publishing of their own newspaper. The editor of the paper was Andrew Costa. A visual aid program was established and movies were shown regulorly. A rodio club has been formed within the science club itself. The members of the club hod the use of a short wave receiver for some time. It was used during the special periods by those in- terested. They also established o weather station. During the year the members enjoyed trips to the Museum of Science, the Nike bosc in Reoding, and a photo-engraving plant.

Several of us from my graduating class are working here — and every one of us loves it.” Telephone jobs are important ones. We have our own training pro- gram which you can enter without any previous job experience. The pay is good, and you’ll get regular raises. Why not come and see our employ- ment interviewer soon . . . before you graduate. Ask the Guidance Counselor at your school to tell you when and where to apply.
