Radochia June 5, 1961 For most juniors and seniors the mere men- tion of Mr. Radochia recalls a wonderful man, but there are many sophomores who haven't heard of him. Robert A. Radochia, who re- ceived his Bachelor of Arts decree at Boston College and his Master of Arts degree at Tufts College, had been in the Somerville school system since 1936. He was the head of the General Course at Somerville High School from 1946 until his death on June 5, 1961. Mr. Radochia was very devoted to his Gen- eral Course pupils. Through his efforts an award was presented to the outstanding Gen- eral Course student of the class of '61. After his tragic passing, a group of close friends among the faculty and students suggested the idea of continuing the presentation of an award in his memory. In essence, if the Col- lege or Business Courses have scholarships and awards, why not recognize the work done in the General Course? This would promote better work and put more significance on the course. The possibility of a dance as a fund- raising means was met with approval and the date, December 1, was set. The price for this dance will be seventy-five cents (eighty-five cents at the door), and the proceeds will go towards this award and scholarship fund. Even if you are not eligible, it will be an enjoyable evening and you will be helping a good cause. One must admit that he did a lot for Somerville High School. So let’s see you December 1, at the Robert A. Radochia Memorial Fund Dance. COLUMBUS DAY, 1961 On October 12, the World Affairs Council of Boston presented A Conference on Inter- national Careers with the theme “The World of the Sixties and You’’ on the Babson Insti- tute Campus at Wellesley. Fifty-five partici- pating schools from Northfield to Falmouth sent six hundred and thirty-three students. The famous anthropologist Dr. Margaret Mead stimulated the audience with her vivid comments on “The Post-Atomic Generation.” Professor Raymond Vernon of Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration explained an important problem, “Tomor- row’s Economics and Your Pocketbook.” After lunch and a tour of the campus, con- current seminar groups on International Ca- reers included: Business Careers Abroad, Journalism and Communications, Govern- ment Service Abroad, Education and Teach- ing Abroad, The Peace Corps. The thought must have occurred to many that the New World discovered by Columbus almost five-hundred years ago is now on its own voyage of discovery, into remote parts of the world seeking new horizons and into Thre JAN 3 '63 space, fearful of terrors just as real to the imagination as those experienced by people of the fifteenth century who believed that the earth was flat. Students representing our school were: Ann Maclsaac, Joyce Lodico, and Joyce Ca- tanzano. Faculty members attending were: Miss Ilene Ritchie, Miss Katherine Kennedy, Miss Katherine Lombard, and Miss Olive MacPherson. “BREAKFAST’S READY” The New England Dairy Council invited school editors to Breakfast at the Boston Club, Beacon Street, Boston, on October 17. The beautiful old mansion was once the town house of Eben Jordan, founder of Jor- dan Marsh Co. and is being made into a dis- tinctive public restaurant, featuring cuisine from all parts of the world. It will be known as “Tiffany’s.” And so, our student editor Ann Maclsaac had Breakfast at Tiffany’s while the juniors were working away at school on the important PSAT examination. An attractive buffet of hors d’oeuvres was set in the walnut-paneled, crystal-chande- liered dining room of the club. Someone ex- claimed, “Hors d’oeuvres for breakfast! What next?” And, that was just the point. Va- riety can lend zest to the morning meal. Silver bowls of apple wedges, fresh pine- apple cubes, and banana chunks were served with “dips” of toasted coconut, honey-nut cream cheese, and pineapple sour cream. The editors then sat down at tables for the main dish of French-Toasted Canadian Ba- con and Cheese Sandwiches with Grilled To- mato Garnish. The cereal course was presented as a des- sert of Hot Indian Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream. Milk and Coffee-Ana were the bev- erages. Girls are usually interested in recipes, so here is the one for Coffee-Ana: Beat or blend these ingredients and serve cold. It makes 7 cup-servings. 1 quart milk 2 cups mashed banana Ann Moclsooc ond Louise Mozyck 4 teaspoons sugar 1 tablespoon of instant coffee t z teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract All the guests agreed that breakfast can be the best meal of the day, and can make a grin out of a grouch. The panel speakers included a beautiful model, Sylvia Gustavson, “Miss New Eng- land of 1961”; Jack Kirrane, captain of the 1960 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team, and Dr. J. Rosvell Gallagher, Chief of the Adolescent Unit of the Children’s Medical Center. This discussion concerned the relationship of good nutrition to physical fitness. The Girl and Her Figure and the Boy and His Physique are developed and maintained by food and exercise. Energy and general appearance are conditioned by what they eat or do not eat. PORTIA The Portia Debating Society, which meets on Tuesday in room 29 at 2:05, has elected the following student officers; President, Elaine Vergani; Vice-President, Carol Ric- cardi; Secretary, Mary Donahue; Treasurer, Joyce Lodico; Student Council Representa- tive Dianne Velardi. Miss Marjorie O’Brien supervises the club’s activities consisting of debates, panel discussions, and buzz-groups. Planned activities for the year include a rec- ord-hop—“Foliage Frolic”—November 17, a private party for members and dates, and a banquet in May. Four FASHIONS FOR THE GIRLS Just a few weeks ago the girls of the school attended an assembly at which a fashion show was presented. Miss Harold of Sim- plicity Pattern Co., Inc., of New York was the moderator. The show was sponsored by the Home Economics Department of Somer- ville High School under the direction of Mrs. MacLaughlin. The purpose of the show was to show the girls what fashionable clothes they could make with a little training and a few dollars. Miss Harold commented on each costume and the proper place to wear it. She said that the popular “bandstand” skirt was definitely not for school wear. She also said that the girls are wearing their clothes much too tight, a very unbecoming style. All of the newest styles were represented, modeled very capably by twenty-four of the school’s loveliest girls: Judith Barbour, Jo- anne Bober, Donna Estabrook, Gail Mulcahy, Mary McEleney, Janice Colyer, Rosemary Antetomaso, Sue Thompson, Catherine Cole- man, Jean Brady, Charlene Tweedy, Margaret Cloutier, Mary O’Connor, Margaret O’Connor, Judith McEvoy, Colette Enders, Pamela Don- aruma, Mary Aiuto, Albina Sarno, Katherine Marzullo, Pauline Talbot, Sandra Hamilton, Barbara Dobson, and Ella Bergmann. KILLER STILL AT LARGE Although the nation spends more than $700 million every year for the treatment of TB patients, the Great White Plague still strikes new victims. Last year there were 55,494 new cases in our country. Are we depending too much on wonder drugs and neglecting cleanliness, sleep, and food? Research and medicine may have cornered the killer, but it takes you and me to “elim- inate” the deadly scourge. What to do? 1. Wash your hands before eating. 2. Inquire whether your city has a health test for food handlers. 3. Keep fit. Get enough sleep and food. 4. Have a chest X-ray every year. 5. Buy Christmas seals to support treatment and research. TRI-HI-Y Diane Joyce ’63 I, as a member of Somerville’s Tri-Hi-Y, would like to mention a few things to girls who might not be acquainted with this or- ganization. It is confined to girls of the jun- ior and senior year of high school. Those girls who show an interest in joining may at- tend the meetings held every Wednesday eve- ning from 7:15 to approximately 8:30 at the Somerville Y.M.C.A. These girls will then be voted upon by the former members on their personalities, school records, and other or- ganizations to which they belong. It is pre- ferred that the individual does not confine herself to one type of club, but belongs to a variety such as, musical, dramatic, etc. If accepted, they will be formerly initiated and brought into the club at the end of the year. Dues are forty cents monthly and this money helps to defray the expenses of an annual Fiv® Colette Enders and Sue Thompson banquet. This has proved to be a joyous, fun- filled affair in the past. The object of this organization is to build strong characters and to aid the community in whatever way possible. At the end of last year, Tri-Hi-Y members collected enough money from a car-wash, to send a number of needy boys and girls to camp for the summer. Of course, the girls have many social events of their own; such as parties and weekend trips. Last year, some of the members spent a weekend at the University of Massachu- setts. It was an experience which I am sure, they will not soon forget. Tri-Hi-Y has much to offer any girl, as you can see. THE RADIATOR At the end of last year, Louise Mazyck was elected Editor of the Radiator Yearbook; James Cavanaugh was elected editor of the magazine, and James Rancanti, business manager. The “Radiator” is perhaps the busi- est organization in the school. So far this year a “Radiator” representative has been at every school event, the entire organization visited the Boston Globe building, two rep- resentatives were at the Better Breakfast Breakfast, the editor and James Curry were guests at the Boston Traveler’s luncheon, and five staff members attended the Annual New England Scholastic Press Association con- vention. Attending were Rosemarie Farina, Leo Kelly, Daniel Kane, James Curry, and James Cavanaugh. The convention was held at the Boston University School of Public Relations and Communications. Prof. Robert Baram, a member of the school’s staff, is the director of the Association. At the conven- tion the “Radiator” received two awards: one for excellence in Yearbook editing and publishing; the other for excellence in maga- zine editing and publishing. The guest speak- er at the luncheon was Edward Kennedy, the assistant district attorney for Suffolk County. He spoke on the President’s Physical Fitness program and domestic policies. GEORGE MACROKANIS RECEIVES HARVARD BOOK AWARD At the end of his Junior year, George Mac- rokanis was selected as the outstanding boy of the Junior class, and presented the Har- vard Book Award. The picture above shows Mr. Giroux presenting George with the prize. The Harvard Book Award is presented to the outstanding Junior at the High School, and it is one of the most coveted awards given in the school. The award is a volume of a world-famous classic. The recipients of this award are of the highest character, and past recipients have gone on to be the leaders of the city, state, and country, and successes in life. We know George, who was also elected president of National Honor Society, is the type of person who will do as the others have done and be a shining example of the leader- ship of Somerville High. Six In My Opinion... A new column designed to provide an emo- tional and intellectual outlet for the student’s point of view on school affairs. OUR DEBTS Carol Anastas 63 Debt! What is it? How do we repay it? A debt is that which is due from one person to another; an obligation to repay others for the good deeds they have done for us. We owe debts to God, to our parents, to teachers, and to all people who help us mature as in- telligent and respectful individuals. To God, first of all, we owe our respect and love. This respect and this love is shown not only by the physical motion of attending our religious places of worship, but in the con- duct of our everyday lives. Respect for God is shown by keeping His commandments, and love is shown by our actions and our will to do what is right and to live good, healthy, and useful lives. By doing our best we thank God for the multitude of wonders He has given us. We owe much to our parents that we can never adequately repay for all the good they have done. They have sacrificed much that we may have better lives than they. If it weren’t for good parents, our future would not be very promising. “Ingratitude,” the poet says, “is more foul than traitor’s arms.” Therefore, we should be grateful to all who help us. To our teachers we owe our knowledge of subjects necessary to help us to grow up and take our places as teachers, secretaries, or become members of any other professions that we have chosen. We owe a great deal to our government, military forces, and to those who protect us from war and help us to secure a peaceful world. Today we are grateful that there are fine men who are patriotic enough to work in our behalf to keep us from being destroyed from the earth. Having mentioned only a few of the people to whom we are indebted, I am sure that there are many others, with concern for our personal lives. How can we repay them even in a small way ? We can repay them by doing our part well and not taking for granted that we can re- ceive benefits without giving something in return. IN DEFENSE OF CHEERLEADERS Dianne Blackall ’63 While attending our first football game at Arlington, a few choice comments were al- ready made about our cheering squad, so as a result, in behalf of the cheerleaders, I would like to say a few words of defense and praise which each one deserves. “Aren’t they awful?” “They look half dead,” “I wish they’d whisper a little louder.” And so it went through the whole game as the girls did their best to bring on victory. Only one week was given to these girls to prepare for their first game. Many people do not realize that it is not all pomp and splendor being a cheerleader, but hard work and practice two or three days a week plus spare time at home. It isn’t easy to stand in front of a large gathering and try to make them assist us by making some noise besides insults, watch the game, and smile in the face of defeat. After all, someone has to lose. We must realize that it is only a game and not the end of the world. There will always be another time, so please don’t take it out on the cheerleaders. Loyal students of Somerville High are on the defensive side, but others on the offensive. We need more offense on the field not in the bleachers. From there we need whole-hearted cooperation. I’ll bet if boys as well as girls made some effort to learn cheers and “pep Seven up” the spirit of the team, things would be a great deal better. Did you ever stop to think how a nervous cheerleader feels as she faces the gloomy- looking spectators, or how a football hero feels when he hears someone yell “Boo”? Well, it’s a pretty horrible feeling. Now, don’t get me wrong. I love cheerlead- ing and I know every other cheerleader does and wouldn’t give it up for the world, but please stop and think. Am I a hypocrite? If you are, make an early New Year’s resolu- tion and come on and help us out because — We’re from Somerville ’n’ no one could be prouder. If you can’t hear us, help us shout louder! WHAT’S RIGHT WITH SOMERVILLE HIGH Joyce Catanzano ’62 Somerville High School, like practically all other high schools, is subject to constant criticism by a major part of its pupils. Al- ways ready to accept the worst about the school, pupils are usually blinded to the won- derful opportunities for advancements in ed- ucation available at S.H.S. and other schools. Somerville High has some of the most qual- ified teachers in the country. All are gradu- ates of accredited colleges with the best train- ing for the future. We also have a marvelous system of extra- curricular activities with a combination of twenty-five clubs and sports teams. There isn’t any pupil in the school who could not join at least one activity and from it receive the enjoyment of being with fellow students. In addition the poise, good sportsmanship, and training that can only come from work- ing with others may be obtained. Our guidance department is also an out- standing one with the most helpful counsel- ors, who are always ready to aid you and all pupils who need help. Remember the choice of vocation or a college is a decision that most young people need help in determining. Somerville High has much to off6r its stu- dents, but unless the attitude of an unsatis- fied minority changes, the full benefit of the strong leadership and superior quality of our teachers will go unheeded. SHOPPERS Ann Crowell ’64 At last it has been done. Here is my per- sonal survey of super-market shoppers. Al- though not complete, the data which I have assembled reveals this threefold classifica- tion: The first type of shopper is the “Browser.” She is usually on the plump side and just loves to shop for food. She brings no shop- ping list but just wanders up and down the aisles, picking up whatever looks good. You will notice the place she stays at longest is the candy counter. The second type of shopper is the “Tester.” Every item must be tested before she will buy it. She will shake and rattle whatever she can lay her hands on from can goods to frozen foods. But the meat section is her specialty. She must squeeze each piece of meat before she decides which one to buy. Everything on the meat counter looks pretty much abused after she leaves there. The third type of shopper might be called “Bargain Bessie.” She is the woman who conies in with a pencil and paper to figure out if two cans of dog food at twenty-five cents a can are cheaper than four cans of another brand at four for one dollar. All she needs is an adding machine. If you think these characters appear exag- gerated, the next time you go to the super- market take a good lock at the shoppers. I mean a really good look. See if you don’t find all of them making the rounds. Eight ARLINGTON In the first game of the season Somervif was defeated by Arlington at Arlington Field. The final score was 18-6, in favor of Arling- ton. After a scoreless first period, Arlington came through with two touchdowns and led 12-0 at the half. At the beginning of the sec- ond half the Red and Blue scored on a 15-yd. touchdown pass from Bobby Taylor to Eddy Mackay. However, the boys from the hill couldn’t muster another touchdown while Ar- lington scored late in the final quarter. QUINCY After the first game defeat the Red and Blue came back with a 28 to 0 victory over Quincy at Quincy. Somerville’s Co-captain Herb Serpa scored the first touchdown late in the first period. This set the team on fire and in the second period Somerville scored again on an eight-yard run by Co-captain, quarterback, Bob Taylor; Serpa then ran for the two points after the TD. Again Somer- ville scored as Ed Stachelski romped eleven yards off-tackle. Somerville led 20 to 0 at the half! The second half was marked by Taylor’s 3-yard touchdown and his brilliant run around end for the two points. A late Quincy rally was squashed on the six-yard line when time ran out preserving our 28 to 0 triumph. MEDFORD Somerville, a heavy favorite against arch- rival Medford, just couldn’t get rolling. Med- ford scored twice during the first quarter while keeping the ball in their possession for almost the entire first period and controlling the better part of the second. Somerville’s first and only tally was early in the second half. The score was set up by a forty-seven-yard pass from Taylor to Mac- kay. Taylor then ran around end for the touchdown. The pass from Taylor to Mackey was completed for the two points. Medford came back with the final touchdown of the game. Medford won 20 to 8. A dismal day for the hometown fans. LAWRENCE But if the Medford game was disapi oint- ing to the Somerville fans the Lawrence game was doubly so. Although the score didn’t show the spirit and the fight our boys put in the game, it was truly a black day for Somerville High. Our boys didn't get any breaks. Lawrence didn’t score until late in the first half but followed with another quick score. They scored twice more in the second half while thwarting all of our efforts. Final score Lawrence 24. Somerville 0. CHELSEA On the day of the Chelsea game Mother Nature decided to play one of her most an- noying pranks and Boston received an early snowfall. Though the fall was slight it was decided to postpone the game until Novem- ber 18. EVERETT Facing another traditional rival, Everett, Somerville, hoping for an upset was unfor- givably disappointed by Everett half-back, Bob Leo, who personally accounted for six Everett touchdowns. Somerville seemed uiv able to get to this shifty runner who has been causing havoc throughout the league. Leo Nine capped his performance with a ninety-seven yard run for the TD. Ed Stackelski saved Somerville from another shutout by scoring in the first half. Final score—Everett 50, Somerville 6. MALDEN Again a familiar rival whopped the Red and Blue, after a very close first half in which the only points scored were on an eleven-yard touchdown pass to Frank Crotty from Bob Taylor. The second half was the ruination of Somerville High. We did nothing right and they nothing wrong. Malden proceeded to score four touchdowns and six extra points, rolling over the Somerville line and winning 30-6. CROSS COUNTRY This year our cross country team is led by Junior Donald Portanova. Mr. Hegarty and Mr. Hrubi are the coaches of our team. BOSTON COLLEGE Somerville lost the first meet of the season to Boston College High by the score of 35-22. Donald Portanova finished in second place behind Mowvar of BCII. RINDGE In the second meet of the young season, the Red and Blue runners again were de- feated by the score of 34-21. Don Portanova finished in first place. MALDEN CATHOLIC Somerville High defeated Malden Catholic in a close meet by the score of 24-32. Don Portanova again captured first place in the two and three-fourths race. CAMBRIDGE LATIN In their fourth meet the Somerville run- ners were again defeated, this time by the score of 31-26. Don Portanova finished first in a very close meet. BROOKLINE Somerville lost their final meet of the sea- son by the score of 36-23. Don Portanova fin- ished in first place in a winning time of 12 minutes and 58 seconds, his fastest time dur- ing the year. CHAMPIONSHIP MEET Donald Portanova finished second in this big meet. The runner who beat Don was the same runner who beat him in the first game of the season. Mowvar is the name of the runner who was the only person to beat our runner. Ed.

We recently elected our room treasurers, Agnes Healy and Susanne Grassia. Here are a few thoughts to ponder: Why do you suppose Carol Rigazio was one of the first to get Pre-Driving? Why did the “eyewitnesses” Frank Cafarella. Bon- nie Tuccelli. and Robert Drinkwater, take a trip to the police station? And also, who hates to get up early in the morning and doesn’t? If anyone knows the answers to these ques- tions, please leave them at room 149: What do Mary O’Connor and Lorraine Rutkowski find so interesting during fourth period? Is Carol Frizzell always the first one to reach the lunch room ? Who’s this mysterious Larry M. that all the girls are crazy about? Why are Edda DiGiovini and John Cabral so quiet? Welcome to room 151 for another exciting and prosperous year. We are very proud to have that outstanding soloist, Maryelaina Altomare, as a member of our class. Ques- tions: What boy will claim that deep, mys- terious voice that is heard in 151? We are happy to report that once again room 151 will be 100' in banking. This is 247 signing in to say that our cozy senior classroom is very proud of its occu- pants, especially its new proctor Theodore (Teddy) Spinos and his assistant, Shirley Swett. Scattered throughout our population are those “muscle men,” Phil McAdam, Rob- ert Silver, and Armand Boyajian; that noted orator Evelyn Malven; that historic “ice cube” Nancy Mercer; and that cross-country alley-camper Carl Meola. Our representative and vice-president of the Art Club is viva- cious Sandra Tsei who, for some unknown reason, has developed a liking for “letters.” Susan Catharin, elected president of the F. N. A., can be counted among our noses along with Leonard Parker, a member of the foot- ball squad. Welcome to 141! We are proud to announce that we have as members of our class, Cap- tains Herbert Serpa and Robert Taylor of the football team. Another member of the team is Robert Hurynowicz. We have elected as class treasurers, Alice Doyon and Mary Ann Gelormini. Some of the kids in 141 would like to know who is the mysterious “Rubber Legs.” If you know, please let us know? We’ll report more about the talents and mysteries of our class in the next issue. A cheery bell from 251. As this our final year oi ens, we wish to extend a hearty wel- come to this year’s sophomores. Leading our happy group is Maurene Martin propped up by several pillows at the wheel of one of the Pre-driving cars. Says Maurene, “It’s easy. I know how to start and stop perfectly; I have a little trouble with the corners, but as soon as I learn to steer, I’ll be fine.” Pam Haskell isn’t too far behind . . . did you ever try going forward in reverse? Well, an in- tersection is drawing near and we must make a right turn. See you in the next issue. Welcome to 252, the “home of champions.” We have Eddie Harrington, Walter Ross, and Chucky Shepherd, three of our famous foot- ball players. Then we have that brilliant cap- tain of our basketball team. Jimmy Lally with Eddie Harrington who is also a basketball star. Next is Jimmy Quinn, the captain of our hockey team. Then we have Jackie Moun- Elevcn tain, “Miss Holman’s pet” who is one of our valuable baseball players. Our proctors are Judy Knight and Eddie Harrington. Our money grabbers are Kathy Culverhouse and Elinor McLaughlin. So there you have our caravan of stars. We, in 152 are glad to welcome all the soph- omores of S.H.S. We have a few problems. Can you help us with them? Who does Cathy M. meet in the hall during the break? Why is Sue referred to as Johnny Reb? Room 150 is a little worried about our foot- ball team. We would like to give Edward Stachelski a hand for getting on the team and scoring two touchdowns, one of which was against Everett. If you know the answers to these questions, drop them into 150. What do the girls in the back of the room talk about? Who is Edward Curran making eyes at? Who’s going to ask whom to the prom? Why is Mary Nutt always so anxious to talk to the girls? Why is Patricia Ricci the first to dash out at 2:00 o’clock? Well, until the next edition___Study hard. Room 154 would like to introduce some of its intelligent??? members. First there is Sheila McDonnell and Judy Oliverio, the bank treasurers. Diane Mills is the Junior Red Cross Representative, and James O’Connor was elected to the position of class proctor. What’s up between Barbara Newell and Rob- ert Sordillo? His eyes are always shining when she walks into view. David Campbell had better stay away from Richard’s; he is getting too fat. Charles Brawley and Paul Cursino are on the student patrol. Why does Arthur Sullivan have a broken heart? See you next issue with election results. Greetings from 250, direct news brought to you direct from the lion’s den. We are proud to say we have two cheerleaders in our midst, Peggy Rimkus and Audrey Peak. Congratu- lations girls! We also have some very tal- ented members among us who helped make Talent Night a success, Peggy Rimkus, Au- drey Peak, and Mary Auito. The following were chosen: Proctor, Mary Auito; Class Treasurers, Joyce Jansen and Peggy Rimkus; Red Cross Representative, Rosemarie Srev- neck. Well it’s that time again! Time for us to leave our summer oasis of fun and leisure and fall back into our tormented little worlds of books, poetry, and other art forms long since abandoned by man. Yet, room 147, amid moaning and groaning (due to exces- sive homework) has opened its doors of learn- ing. We have the reigning triumvirate Joyce Lodico, proctor; Diana DiRusso, treasurer and Red Cross representative; and Loretta Comeau, Radiator Reporter. They are sup- ported in their attempt to run the class by ready and able glee club officers Pamela Kneeland, President of Girls’ Glee Club; Joyce Lodico, vice-president; and Ann Mac- Isaac, secretary.

JUNIOR CLASS CHATTER Who, in room 24. always manages to have a package of “Twinkies” and a bottle of “Raid” on hand after the second period? Why is it that this master debator always chooses to rant and rave on his rostrum ad- jacent to the lockers beside 24 at recess? These are just a few of the unanswerable mysteries of room 24. Until my lethal pen finds a few more suitable victims, this is, Rex Ruins, your Raving Radiator Reporter, checking out. Greetings from room 25. We would like to have a few questions answered in this edi- tion. Why is Oscar Mathews rated as a third class comedian by a certain English teacher? Why is Paula Hamilton always late? Why dees Donald McLean dislike biology? Did Daniel, Harry, and Peter buy “Topics in American History” to better their mark or to impress the teacher? Answers to these important questions will be appreciated. Hello everybody!! This is room 27 start- ing the year off with a bang. First of all we would like to inform you of something which is taking place right before your very eyes. Naturally it is that blooming romance during first period English class. What sweet little girl wants to completely forget Tri-Hi-Y ini- tiation? And whose swift fingers are forever walking on ivory, helping the Glee Club in any way they can? Why does the sweater girl look forward to a return trip to the Bos- ton Globe? What certain boy is always tak- ing pep pills? Is it because the steps to third period are too strenuous? To sum it all up: Have ycu ever seen so many unanswered questions ? ? ? ? Welcome to room 29. To start this bright new year we have chosen Nancy Allen as proctor and Catherine Licare as her assistant. Carol Anastas and Donna Censale are in charge of the banking duties. For this great football season, everyone is airy. Tommy Mc- Guire and Eddie King need all their air for their band instruments while Carol Anastas is cheering the team and cur own Gordon Norman.

Our Cap- tain is Elaine Douglas and her first mate is Eleanor D’Aveta. The pursers on this voyage are Mary Ellen Vitello and Dolores Muccioli. Congratulations to Elaine Douglas for be- ing elected librarian of the Girls’ Glee Club. We have received radio messages that must be answered immediately. Why are Linda Fonts, Barbara Stock, and Lois O’Connor al- ways late getting back to the homeroom after the second period? Also, why does Brenda Norman like her study classes in Room 206 so much? Maybe its a certain senior? Now, as we sail away into the sunset this is the S.S. 213 signing off until the next issue. Greetings from room 221. We are proud to announce our class officers are James Smith and Larry Legor. Our football team is repre- sented by Robert Aylward and our cheerlead- ing squad is represented by Janet Boyington and Phyllis Sinclair.

Robert Labbe will be running for our track team. Let’s be the first over that finish line, Bob! Our room treasurers are Maria Guileo and Karen McCormick. Our procter is Diane Car- valho. There are a few mysteries in 234 that need clearing up. Why is Janet Khoury always buying stationery? Could it be for that young man in Texas? Huh, Jan? Why is Peggy Mitrano always combing her hair? Well, that’s all for this issue. Welcome to room 321. We hope the sopho- mores will enjoy this year at Somerville High School. We have elected Jean Brady and Diane Kelly as room treasurers, and Barbara Dobson as cur Red Cross representative.

Richard Graham is a member of our football team and Mary Swett and Rosemarie Strozzola are in the bank corps. Louise Jones, who is a library assistant, has also joined the swimming team. Miss Accorto has been pleased these past few days. Could it be that Richard Graham has finally paid his class dues? Why does Pat Macre take the long corridor to the gym? Welcome to room 325 reporting for the first time this year. We are proud and for- tunate to have George Dunne as our proctor and John McKenzie as our assistant proctor. Handling our money affairs are Janice Par- sons and Patricia Winterson. We would like some questions answered. Why do Bruce White and Robert De Blosi stay after school so much? Why is it that Pat Winterson always comes in the room just before the last bell? Who’s the certain red- head in our room, who just received a ring from her boyfriend? We’ll now close the doors of room 325 until next issue. Hello from room 327. Peter Ferola, Elaine Amenkowiez, and Gladys Domings are among our happy group. Harry Labigni and Joseph Capone still trying to figure out the Metric System. Jack Keough hopes things will im- Fourte®n prove when report cards come out. So do we Jack! Dianne Edwards is our proctor and Francis Baker is our floor-sweeper. Hi! This is 331 tuning in for the first issue of the Radiator. We would like to welcome all the sophomores to Somerville High School. If anyone knows the answers to these ques- tions, please, contact room 331 as soon as possible. Why is Harry Cohen always late for his classes? Is she cute Harry? Why does Helen Harris look bored in Music Ap- preciation class? Last of all. where does Charlene Ellis go before the 8:30 bell? Until next issue this is room 331 signing off. Flash from 332. Why does Ann Chermisino like English class? Is it because of a certain study pupil? Why is Paul Pacheco always whistling? Why does Loretta Reynolds like to study in room 232? What makes Brenda Dailey so happy all the time? If anyone knows the answers to these questions, don’t tell a soul, they’re very confidential. Congratulations go to Leo Andonnvich for making the football team. Also congratula- tions go to Janice Vaughn and Karen Hiltz, our room treasurers, and Diane Royal, our car check girl. Room 334 sounding off! We would like to extend our congratulations to our class of- ficers: George Fulgenite and Stephanie Lynch, proctors; Theresa Langley and John Nitaras, treasurers; Eugene Welch, class clown! We also have some new talent called Phyl- lis Rogers, who was our entrant in the Talent Show. We hope our colleagues who received the fateful white slips this quarter have far bet- ter luck next time. Well, we hope to see you in the next issue. Hi, from room 324. What sort of fascina- tion do the locker keys hold for Andy Bar- rasso? Our two proctors, Charlene Tweety and Annette Barressi, have that money gleam in their eyes so take heed and guard your priceless pennies. I wonder why John Burns takes the long way to his classes? Whom dees he meet on these daily jaunts? I won- der if the renowned Thomas Cabral is the experienced driver that he pretends to be. Why does Rosalie find the corridor outside 321 so inviting especially on Mondays? Why does Lorraine go into the sub shop every morning before school ? Whose company does she enjoy there? Anne Molloy seems to en- joy reading, or is that just a cover-up? The person who occupies the fourth row, second seat, seems to daydream a lot. No one knows about what. I wonder why Donald Parilia is so interested in the absent teachers’ list for the day? Why does Jane Russo wait outside room 334 everyday ? Who always has a ready supply of composition paper? Where does she get this? How's the car now. Kevin? Still running I hope. Daniel Elwell must believe in the saying “Society arrives late.” Why does Cecelia Glynn study so attentively in the morning? Could it be that she is becoming studious? SOPHOMORES, WELCOME TO S.H.S. Janice DiNocco ’63 All aboard for the grand tour of your new and exciting three years’ cruise. Sophomores, the day has finally arrived when you are to take your new seats at the high school. You can expect a different schedule and new rules. Now that you are starting a new year, why net start it right. This could be the step in the career you have always dreamed about. Why not make the start now! Here are a few suggestions for you to follow. Fifteen First, learn to obey. Then there should be no reason for you to be staying the seventh period as a discipline case. Second, pay attention to your teachers. They know the agony you go through sitting there trying to understand the subject. But the most pain comes when the homework is given. Remember it’s for your own good. And if at any time you need help don’t be afraid to ask. That’s why we have a Guidance Department. If you have a problem intro- duce yourself—they will be glad to help you. Third, if you have a little free time and possess any talents, why not utilize them? Join an activity or a club. Well Sophomores, here are a few hints on how to act but above all remember this is your high school. So do your best this year and the coming years too and also enjoy it. And one day you’ll be glad that you did something for your high school and yourself. CLASS CHATTER Sophomore Greetings from Room 106 with Nancy Don- ahue reporting all the news. Michael Kupferman and Kathleen Albro are the class’s capable bankers. Class treas- urer Louise Gerome is responsible for making our class the first to have the class dues paid. Eileen Rooney takes care of the car checks. Janis Dydzulis, Diana Phillipa, Joyce Lima and Anna Pasquina have given up their spare periods to work in the school bank. Russell Figueira and James Silva are tak- ing part in the Public Speaking Course. But Mr. Jones thinks that they have enough prac- tice in this field. Our class fondly remembers the two o’clock oratory of Ronald Moore. Condolences are extended to Kevin Palmer who now has to walk the fifty yards to school. Watch the bookstores for these forthcom- ing books by our budding young authors, “How to Get the Most Out of Your Worrying” written by Lucy DiNitto. Also, “How to Col- laborate on Homework without Getting Caught.” by Russell Figueria and Kathv Al- bro. “A bien tot!” Greetings from 109, the room that has really started off the Sophomore year with a bang!

The Future Nurses are Donna Hope and Paulene Wordel and cheering our team to victory are Emily De Simone and Nancy Walker. All those theorems, postulates, and corollaries have the pupils from room 110 pulling their hair. Poor Nancy Walker loses her hearing every day in English class. Joseph Capo- bianco is going to have a complex because he is told to sit down and keep quiet before school every day. The pupils of 110 are really ready to give up after taking a very rigorous English test. Hi! Detectives King and Provensano re- porting for the first time the latest news of rcom 114.

That’s it for now. See you next edition. Rcom 206 reporting! It’s quite an honor to be Radiator Reporter for one of the nicest rooms in the school, and I know of 42 students who’ll agree with me. We sophomores certain- ly appreciate Karen Melnyk and William Mantzoukas. They’re our Class Proctors, and they are doing a great job taking our money. Rosalie Talluto and Joan Pocara are the bank- ers for 206. Carcheek girl for 206 is Carol Puccini. The Tri-Hi-Y has two officers of its sophomores group from 206, Karen Melnyk, Treasurer, and Carol Puccini, President. If you just happen to need a dinosaur (fake, of course), Arthur Passero is loaning a few. Everyone agrees that Richard Kent should be in the Players’ Club? We wonder who Jean Meola is thinking of as she collects the absentee slips each morning? This is room 209. reporting for the first time this year.

They are Anthony Bruno, William McLucas, William Lenard, and Thomas Peterson. Our track team stars are Robert Johanson and Robert Walsh. There are questions that should be an- swered. Who is the boy who is always found near room 205 and why? What are the boys in the first two rows always talking about after the 8:30 be’l rings. Good-bye for now. Hello and welcome to room 210. Congratu- lations to our room treasurer, Aurelia Di Giacomo, her assistant, Ann Lusardi and to our Class Proctors, Frank Firicani, and his assistant Kevin Crain Who is the cute bey with curly hair that Adele Wojtkiewicz has her eye cn in third period study every day. If you know please bring the answer to room 210. That lucky girl, Carol Pisce, from 244 went to Long Island Sound this summer. Now she’s studying and waiting for next summer to arrive. Sharon Hughes and Gloria Foppiano are bank members, so watch your money. Dur- ing World History Fred Miano stares at the back of the room. I wonder who’s catching his eye? Wayne Parsons is interested in Mu- sic Appreciation. Could it be someone special is there? Hope to see you all next issue. Hello from room 245! Can anyone name the post-graduate who is putting stars in Jeannette Vannelle’s eyes? It doesn’t take a course in psychology to figure out who Cecile Parise hunts down each day during short re- cess. Could it be Ronnie Pamara? Three cheers for Larry Jackson. He’s finally de- cided to break a record and complete a home- work assignment. We wonder what deep mystery is concealed in those notes Evelyn Olsen and Jeannette ' annelle exchange dur- ing class. Greetings from room 243. Starting eff this first issue we would like to welcome Mr. John Hickey, our homeroom teacher, who is new at the high school. As the weeks go by ycu will notice our happy-go-lucky car check girl, Estelle Grasso, going round ni circles for those pupils who never have enough tickets. Our bankers are Roberta Davidson and Joyce Bennett. The busy Radiator reporters are Estelle Grasso, going round in circles for wonder why that sweet and quiet Mary George looks as if she is ready for track when the two o’clock bell sounds. Rumors say she is waiting for a certain someone to call. Is it true, Mary ? Cute Maureen Thornton must like Ancient History more than we think, she rushes out Seventeen of this room and hurries to the class before the bell stops ringing. We wonder why ? We mustn’t forget the honor we have bestowed on Joyce Bennett. She locks and unlocks our lockers every morning. A very hard job in- deed. We elected Malcolm Perry “class flirt.” We feel he is a boy who really will live up to his title. Well, that's all from room 243. This is room 302 reporting to you, News and chatter, the subject matter, So cast an eye and park that gum, The gossip is about to hum. 302 welcomes all of you! The boys like girls and the girls like boys, so don’t be shy, just come and say hi!

Who started to whistle in room 341, and taught it to everyone else in the room ? Why was a certain redhead’s heart broken when her boy-friend was transferred to room 313? Who is squirrel-head? Who is the swift black sheep in room 341? Hi! This is room 349 with Pat Sullivan re- porting the classroom chatter of the last few weeks. Our classroom treasurers are Martha Cummings and Janet Marrano, who have done an efficient job. Card Surette collects money for bus tickets and she receives a large sum each time. Thomas Burns and Norman Davis were both members of our class but with thirty-seven for an enrollment and only thirty-five seats someone had to go. But for- tunately enough they are still in all our class- es. We wonder if Cathy Rogers minds having her own brother for an English teacher. Hello from 350.

Our banking representatives are Joan Garribotto, Ann Crowell, and Carolyn Souther. Classroom treasurers are Mary Tegan and Nancy Cos- tarelli. Radiator Reporter is Elaine Palumbo. We have some questions that are buzzing around the room. What do John Russell and Jean Kelly talk about during Economic Geog- raphy ? Why did David Brown want the girls to sit near him in business records, maybe because he is a member of the Players’ Club? If anyone knows the answers please let us know as scon as possible, so we can solve these mysteries. Eighteen HAVE YOU MET? DEAN MOTTARD ’(� 2 After graduation the U. S. Air Force Acad- emy may be lucky enough to have Dean Mot- tard honor them by becoming a cadet.

He’s football co-captain, a baseball slugger, track speedster, National Honor Society member, and Student Council President. His favorite subjects are gym and biology. He has also worked as a carbonic engineer. And that is the story of the Immortal Dean Mottard— May his luck never end. MARY DONAHUE 62 Lively and full of fun, that’s Mary Dona- hue. Her key to popularity is her winning personality and zest. How she finds time to GEORGE MACROKANIS ’62 What would we have done without George? This remark has been echoed through the halls of Somerville High School many, many times. George is probably one of the most talented people in our school. He is President of the National Honor Society, Art Director for the Radiator and Yearbook, member of the Art Club, and Somerville High School Glee Club, and T.C.A. This friendly, quick- to-smile boy stands 6 feet tall, has dark brown hair and flashing brown eyes. His favorite studies are Art, Latin and French. He’s cool on fiction books and Greek food. In between all his activities he is entertaing tall, foreign type girls. If the girls don’t get him, college will. Good luck, George!! Good luck, girls!! Mory Donohue George Mocrokonis Pamela Kneeland be the secretary of Portia, vice-president of the National Honor Society, and a faithful member of the Radiator and Science Club, we’ll never know. Mary likes listening to the music of Ray Charles and Dave Brubeck. while munching on her favorite foods—Toot- sie Pops and Hamburgers. She plans to go to a boarding college preferably Newton Col- lege of the Sacred Heart. Recently she was the recipient of a letter of commendation for outstanding achievement in the National Merit Scholarship Exam. Her excellence in scholarship is perhaps overshadowed only by her excellence in golf and her ability to twist. We all know that whatever Mary decides to do she will be a success and we wish her all the luck in the world. PAMELA KNEELAND 62 Blonde-haired, hazel-eyed. Pam Kneeland is sure to be one of the girls who will go places later in life. We often wonder how she finds time to participate in her various ac- tivities. She’s President of Girls’ Glee Club, Vice-President of Student Council, Secretary of Players’ Club, a member of S.H.S. Glee Club, on the Library. Yearbook, and Radiator Staffs. This Latin scholar digs books with good character sketches, and she likes ambi- ti:us boys. Someday Pam would like to at- tend college and study journalism or social work. Judging from her past performances we know she will make a success of it. Nineteen I ITFMk LJ I LI AI Jlww. THE WALL Leo Kelly ’63 John Montagne gazed down at the gold eagles pinned very carefully on the shoulders of his dark blue dress jacket. It was only six months ago that he had joined the militia, and now he was a full colonel on his way to his first command. Although he wanted to believe this quick promotion was due to his own initiative, he realized that, as a direct descendant of the great William Montagne, he was to be subjected to favoritism by the High Command. William Montagne was one of the meager fourteen-hundred survivors of the missiles, the nuclear bombs, the fallout, and the countless other weapons of destruc- tion, which over seventy years ago, during World War III, had wiped out a whole civil- ization. Being sixty-three years old, and the eldest of all the survivors on our side of the war, William Montagne had been elected the first Supreme Ruler of the new democracy which had been formed. He was the man who had led the rebuilding of the western democ- racies and issued the order for the construc- tion of “the Wall.” The Colonel’s trend of thought was then interrupted by a raspy voice at the back of the coach. “Sandonburg, next stop!” He gathered together all his belongings and sat back in the soft chair, trying to get a better view of the town as the train pulled in. “There it is; not very big,” he thought to himself as he eyed the pleasant little houses in neat rows and, off in the distance, a few tall build- ings which designated the army post which he would soon command. A young lieutenant raised himself to at- tention and saluted curtly as the Colonel stepped off the train. “I’m Lt. Walsh, sir; welcome to Sandonburg.” Returning the sa- lute, Col. Montagne thanked the lieutenant and stepped into the long, black, staff car which already had the motor running. The car started with a roar and sped along a well- kept highway. As they drove nearer to the post, Montagne could see “the Wall” clearly. It was huge and ominous looking, about the height of a seven or eight story building. He had read about it many times, but this was the first time he had ever seen it. After the war, this wall was built to separate East from West. No treaty was ever signed. No attempt at friendship was made. The “enemy” simply went back on their own side and were never heard from again. That is how it had been for years, and that is how it probably will be for years to come. “The Wall.” stretching from the North Pole to the South, slices its way through many lands, such as Finland, Germany, Tur- key, Arabia, and parts of Africa, and works up along the Pacific Coast of the Americas. No one knows what is on the other side of “the Wall” and no one likes to think about it. If there is still some life on the other side, no one will know it. It is against the law to approach “the Wall,” and the militia is al- ways there to enforce this rule. Lt. Walsh showed the Colonel around the post and then led him to his new office. It was small, but modern and very well kept. After dismissing Walsh, Montagne sat down in the comfortable chair behind his desk. Be- fore him, through the large, picture window, he could see “the Wall.” Just to think of what may lie beyond there sent chills up and down his spine. It was too remote to even imagine. Now, several months later, “the Wall” had Twenty taken on a new meaning: to Montagne. For hours at a time he would sit at his desk and stare at the huge, gray structure. “The Wall’s” very presence had an unnerving effect on him. He was constantly tormented by nightmares depicting himself up against that man-made colossus trying frantically to sur- mount it, and, finally, “the Wall” would crum- ble and fall to the ground, crushing him into oblivion. The question that wall presented frightened him and drove him to the brink of insanity. But he kept all this to himself. Even Walsh, now a captain, who had helped the Colonel in his hardest times, and had befriended him, did not realize that this man was being torn apart inside because of one thing — “The Wall” — the huge, gray wall which presented a challenge to Montague; a challenge that he would soon answer. It was a dark, foggy night. Col. Montague crept cautiously from his quarters and headed straight for the fog-shrouded edifice. He had to find cut what was on the other side. He had to, or it would drive him crazy. He stopped for a moment at the base of “the Wall.” It seemed so high and beyond reach. He started up, clawing his way, hanging on to protruding rocks, wedging upward through weather-worn cracks, until, finally, three quarters of an hour later, the top was within his grasp. He sat for a moment on the edge looking back down at the city. The sun was coming up behind him, and the rays shone down at Sandonburg. Here and there, he could see a car or truck, its operator probably starting an early work day. It all seemed very remote from the top of “the Wall.” Montagne stood up and started walking the couple of hundred yards to the opposite edge. “Soon I’ll know the answer,” he muttered to himself. The sun was shining brightly on the East. He looked down. “No! No! How could they?” he gasped out loud. He jumped away, a look of horror, mixed with fear, on his face. He started running back. He kept running faster and faster. He couldn’t stop. Capt. Walsh was an early riser and the first to find the Colonel lying at the base of “the Wall.” He knelt down beside the body of his superior officer. Montagne’s facial ex- pression was one of fear and horror, yet, in his staring eyes, a look of understanding could be detected. Walsh could tell what had happened there and a twinge of sorrow over- came him. “He knows,” the Captain said looking up at “the Wall.” “He alone knows.” HOW THE OTHER 30% LIVE James (Montana) Curry ’62 The newspapers say that seventy percent of the people of this country live in cities. That leaves only thirty percent who live on farms. These are just dull statistics. But the thirty percent statistic has a special interest for me. For most of my life I have been a member of that 30% • I was born in the town of Ekalaka, Mon- tana (population 1,000) and have spent most of my life on a sheep ranch in that vicinity. Ekalaka is located in the southeastern corner of the state, not far from where Montana, South Dakota and North Dakota all meet. This is a stock-raising region. There are a great many cattle ranches here, and Carter County is very high on the list of wool-grow- ing counties. Some wheat and a little corn are raised, but the main agricultural crop is hay. Carter County has an extreme climate. I myself have experienced temperatures of 110° Fahrenheit and —50° below. Almost every winter we have severe blizzards. The worst snowstorms I can remember occurred in 1949. Many isolated ranches were snowed in for weeks. Our summers are usually pretty hot and Twenty-one dry. There was very little rain last spring and summer and this, combined with a mild winter in which little snow fell, produced a severe drought. By this time you must be thinking, “What an awful place to live in!” The truth is that I didn’t much mind it, and will take Montana over New England any time. “Why?” Well, for one thing, the weather in Montana isn’t nearly so changeable as it is here, where it can be hot one day and freezing cold the next. Furthermore, when it becomes hot in Mon- tana, it becomes hot, but it doesn’t get humid. I have felt worse here when the temperature was 80 degrees than at home when it was 100°. The same thing happens in winter, only in reverse. Here in Massachusetts it feels colder at the same temperature than in Mon- tana. Don’t ask me why. I like open spaces. You can find them plenty in Montana, but they don’t exist here. It comes as something of a shock to move from a ranch where your nearest neighbor lives three miles away, to the most densely populated city in the United States. You don’t get much privacy in a city. You may wonder how I ever got out here. It is a rather long story but I’ll make it short. My uncle was born and brought up in this area. During the war he was in the Navy and met my aunt on the West Coast. They were married there and moved to Billings, Montana, where they lived until 1956. That year they moved back to Somerville. How does this tie in with me? Well, when I reached the 9th grade I had the choice of going 20 miles to a high school of approxi- mately 200 students or 2,000 miles to a high school of 2,000. I chose the 2,000. This choice is not no strange as it may seem. My older sister went to Portland, Oregon, for her freshman year. So here I am. I enjoy going to S.H.S. very much. However, I wish I could spend more time each summer with my family and had a longer Christmas vacation, so I could l e home at Christmas time. But I get used to it. And it surprises me that I am not as homesick as I thought I would be when I left Montana to start at Southern Junior High School in ’58. RETURN TO TUCSON Janies Curry '62 At last, after miles and miles of frenzied galloping. Bob Turlow thought it was safe to rein in and look back over his trail. He brought his heaving, sweat-covered horse to a stop, turned around, and searched the des- ert carefully with his eyes. No, man nor horse, nor any cloud of dust, save that which his own horse had raised, was to be seen. Bob chuckled, “Looks like I finally shook that posse! Pickle-Face Mac-ready ain’t even goin’ to catch me!” But his moment of happy triumph was short. As he turned his horse about and con- tinued up the trail at a slow walk, he felt faint twinges of regret. Not that he regretted shooting Faro Jim Banks. He’d gun anybody who tried to cheat him at cards. But he really shouldn’t have waited till Banks turned his back before he shot—especially in the middle of a saloon in broad daylight. Sheriff Dan Macready took a dim view of the whole affair, and Turlow had been forced to leave town in something of a hurry, with half the town’s citizens rid- ing hotly after him. “Well, Tucson’s one town I better never go back to! Sheriff Macready’ll see me hanged for sure!” mused Turlow. Then a more ur- gent problem surged into his mind. Apaches! He was heading directly into Cochise’s coun- try around the Dragoon Mountains. But this menace did not deter him, or even worry him as much as it would have most people. Twelve years ago, back in ’61, he’d prospected right in the middle of the Mescalero Country when Mangas Colorados was on the warpath, and no Apache had ever known he was there. Turlow knew how to dodge Indians. He rode steadily up the trail to Silver City, and the mountains loomed ahead. The sun was long down and it was begin- ning to grow very dark. Turlow decided to ride a few more miles and then make camp. He’d have to find a well-hidden brushy spot to camp and he didn’t dare light a fire. That sack of dried beans and bacon would have to do for supper. As Turlow was looking for a place to camp, Twenty-two he was suddenly startled by a whiff of smoke from a mesquite fire. An instant later he saw the flame flicker- ing some distance away, partly screened by the heavy underbrush. Turlow eased his horse to a stop and dismounted very care- fully. He moved swiftly but quietly through the mesquite, drawing and cocking his navy Colt as he ran. He feared that the fire might be warning the camp of an Apache raiding party. Now Turlow was almost to the camp. He saw no Apache warriors, but a wagon, some team horses grazing nearby, and two children frying bacon at the fire—a boy of about ten, and a girl, a year or so younger. The girl dropped the frying pan into the campfire as Turlow came into view. He didn’t stop to address her, but strode over to the fire, picked up a nearby bucket of water, and threw it on the fire. Only then did he speak, You kids trying to get scalped? Any Apache in miles could have seen this! And where's your folks ?” “We’re sorry, mister, we didn’t know there were any Injuns around,” the boy said, “And please don’t talk so loud, Ma and Pa are real sick and they’re in the wagon.” “That so? I’d better go see about them then. What’s your names ?” “Joe and Nancy Cotts. Maybe you better not bother Ma and Pa. They’re awful sick,” Joe exclaimed. Turlow climbed into the wagon and looked anyway. He saw at once that the children’s parents were not sick. They were dead. It must have been cholera, Turlow decided. Funny the kids hadn’t caught it. But things happened that way, sometimes. He broke the news to the children as gently as he could. They were as grief-stricken as any kids would be at learning that they had suddenly lost what was most dear to them in all the world. They got over crying surprisingly quickly. They were frontier children, and death was no stranger to them. Turlow buried Mr. and Mrs. Cotts that very night. He did it alone. He tied two sticks together to make a crude cross and put it above the grave. “Guess I’ll stay overnight with the kids, and leave in the morning. I should be out of Injun country by noon tomorrow. “Then,” suddenly an alarming thought occurred to him—“What about the two children? He couldn’t very well leave them here. It would be only a matter of time till the Apaches found them.” And then Turlow, tough as he was, shuddered at the thought. He’d seen what happened to people the Apaches cap- tured. It wasn’t very pretty. “Maybe I can take ’em with me to Silver City,” he thought. No sooner had he con- sidered this than he rejected it. He could slip through the Apaches—if he was alone, but not with two children. They would slow him down fatally. Turlow pondered hard. Was there any army post or trading station any- where close by ? There wasn’t. That left one alternative. “But if I go back. I’ll get hanged for sure!” he thought with alarm. The temptation to leave the two children behind grew steadily stronger. “No! I done some low things in my life, and mebbe I’ll do more, but I ain’t never done nothin so low as that!” At that moment Turlow decided what he must do. “After I get back to Tucson with the kids. I’ll get out of that necktie party someway,” he silently promised himself. They stayed under cover that night and all the next day. Then after sundown the next evening, they stole out of the brush. Turlow was leading his own horse, and Joe and Nancy each had one of the team horses following them. Since they could not hope Twenty-three to sneak out with the wagon, they had left that behind. It was a cloudy night, and the moon could not be seen. They had been traveling several hours, and it was now almost midnight. No sound was to be heard except the yapping of coyotes and the hoots of owls. It was then that Turlow, listening care- fully and intently, heard the snap of a dry twig. One of you do that?” he whispered to Joe and Nancy. Not us,” they replied. “Net so loud! Was it any of the horses?” Wasn’t my hoss,” whispered Nancy. “Mine neither.” said Joe. “Mebbe it was just a coyote,” Turlow tried to reassure himself. He stared at the Mountainside above for a full minute before he caught a glimpse of the two figures running wraithlike. He didn’t have to see the long black hair, the rawhhide boots, the breechclouts, or the glittering wolf- like eyes in the broad cruel faces to know that the two runners were Apaches. No one else could move so swiftly and yet so stealth- ily. And they were moving in Turlow’s direc- tion. Real quiet, you kids,” he whispered, one peep, we’re dead!” He eased his Colt from its holster and cocked it slowly. Turlow knew only too well that a shot might bring a howl- ing horde of warriors down on them. But he might soon have no choice. The Apache scouts moved steadily closer. Now he could hear them talking in low gut- teral voices. He leveled the Colt. Joe’s horse let out a snort. The Apache scouts whirled around. He walked swiftly toward the place where the two children crouched with fear- wide eyes. Turlow swung the Colt around to follow the scout. Now the Apache was only a hundred yards away. Turlow could distinguish his squat fea- tures. It was only a matter of seconds now—. Suddenly the Apache shrugged and turned around then they both headed down the mountainside in another direction. Turlow was conscious, for the first time, of his wildly thundering heart. As soon as the hostile scouts were well out of sight, he turned to the children and chuckled, Well you two can start breathin’ again. Let’s get moving!” The sun had risen once more, and the posse had re-discovered Bob Turlow’s trail with the aid of Manuel Turquino, Sheriff Mac ready’s ace halfbreed tracker. Turquino pushed his sombrero up from his eyes, and got up from the horse tracks, over which he had been kneeling. Si, boss, no doubt now, these outlaw heed into Indian country. He not live long there, I theenk!” One of the deputies muttered agreement. He’s goin’ into Cochise Country and the Apaches ’re sure to get him! I don’t wanna go chasin’ into there! — ’sides, I got a store to keep.” Finally, Sheriff Dan Macready was moved to agree. “All right, boys, if that’s the way you want it, I’ll go back. We’ll never catch him now, anyway. But I sure hope the Apaches get him—alive! Faro Banks was my friend!” Hey! Sheriff! Look there! It’s a cloud of dust! Might be Apaches.” All eyes turned to look. But it was not an Apache war party; there were only three riders. Soon they were close enough so that the posse could see the riders were a man and two children. “It’s Turlow!” one of the deputies yelled. Colts came out of holsters and rifles emerged from scabbards. So did Turlow’s Colt. But Turlow did not aim and fire; he threw the re- volver into the dust and raised his hands. For a second a brief smile cracked Mac- ready’s sour features. What made you come back, Turlow? Apaches on your trail? Who’re the kids?” Couple kids I met up in the hills,” Turlow answered. “Had to bury their folks.” “Well, mebbe you figured turnin’ good Samaritan to save your hide.” Macready spoke grimly. “Well, it won’t. You killed a friend of mine and we’ve got a tree limb and a rope waitin’ for you back in Tucson.” I kind of figured it that way,” was Tur- low’s only answer. He realized that he had just gone to his own hanging; that his act of mercy had just cost him his life, but somehow it did not bother Bob Turlow. In fact, he felt strangely happy. Twenty-four MY DIFFICULTY IN WRITING ESSAYS Paul Massigilia ’63 Thus far in the current school year my literary achievements have been confined to the nonexistent. This deplorable (as any self- respecting English teacher will agree) con- dition is not due to any lethargy on the part of my English teacher; on the contrary, to our class there have been assigned both an essay and a short story, neither of which I have turned in at the appointed time. My record, unequalled within the confines of my English class, is chiefly due to the man- ner in which I perform my assignments. I seat myself at a table with a ream of com- position paper at my left hand, a gross of well-sharpened pencils at my right, and a dozen erasers in front of me. Thus fortified, I remain seated for two hcurs while I draw isoscles triangles, and regular hexagons, letter my name in old English type, write the Lord’s Prayer in Ger- man, and construct magnificent paper air- planes. At the end of this time (when I have either run out of paper or become buried with the above-mentioned pastimes) I give up, ex- cusing myself by saying that I’m not very persistent by nature as that too much think- ing is bad for my health. Actually, my imagination has not lain bar- ren all this time. However, it works in exact- ly the wrong direction. For instance, if it is an essay which is assigned, I perform my calisthenics with the pencil while the plots of countless short stories run rampant in my brain. While thoughts of the ancient Romans, chiva'ry, charging Ghurkas, and gangsters manufacturing Swiss cheese with machine guns pervade my mind and I invent a lover to make Romeo seem like an empty beer bot- tle, I am totally incapable of having opinions upon anything. When a short story is the order of the day, conversely, I have profound thoughts upon all things, but I cannot think of even a bad plot, were I to fortify myself. My English teacher offered what seemed a solution when she suggested to our class that we should write whenever we felt so inclined. I tried this and found that laziness is one of my more dominant traits of character. I write these lines, not in any plea for sym- pathy, but I do hope that some philanthropic assassin will read them and undertake a cru- sade to stamp out English teachers. Just in case, I have English period I in room 245. THAT FATEFUL NIGHT Rosemarie Farina ’63 I remember those carefree days of long ago when, as a child. I watched my older sis- ter dress for a date. While I sat on the bed, with my eyes glowing, she very carefully ap- plied mascara, eye shadow and numerous other beauty aids. I dreamed of the day I would dress for my first date, (that fateful night). I devoured books overflowing with sweet princesses and kind-hearted fairies. I sat through movies that gushed with love and romance. I was a romanticist in the true sense of the word. I imagined my date as the epitome of all Prince Charmings. His clothing would be im- peccable. Brimming with personality and hu- mor, he would laugh through the night. A mental image of his car loomed before me. The glistening white paint dazzled my eyes. It sparkled from fender to fender. The plush atmosphere of the restaurant we would dine at delighted me. Soft music floated to every table. My common sense, dulled and clouded by dreams, was cast aside. As I approached my sixteenth birthday “the” night arrived. I treasured every long, elaborate hour that I dressed. And then the doorbell rang. I opened the door, gazed at his scuffed sneakers, patched dungarees, sport shirt, disheveled hair, and staggered back. Meekly I whispered, “Hello.” With a snap of his chewing gum and a grunt from him, we departed. Before I knew what had happened we were on a crowded bus, fighting for a seat. This was my Prince Charming? ? ? The plush restaurant was Joe’s Pizza Place! The wail from the jukebox shattered my ear- drums. Later, at home. I realized how childish and foolish I was. I was waiting for someone who existed only in books. It was a hard-earned lesson, one I will never forget. Twtnty-fiv© THE DESPERATE TRY Cordon Norman '63 Being only five feet, five inches tall, Don Norton thought his chances of making the basketball team were very slim. But he was determined he would make it. Having prac- ticed faithfully all summer, he was now ready. One Friday the news came from the loud- speaker that all candidates for the basketball team should report to the gym on Monday. Don made a note of it on his pad, and con- tinued with his studies. Monday arrived. He had just finished tie- ing his sneakers and trotted onto the gym floor. In the midst of comparatively gigantic boys was little Don. “Oh no!,” he thought to himself, “I’ll never make this team.” One of the taller boys turned to his friend and said, “That short boy over there hasn’t got a chance.” The coach, completely overlooking Don, picked some boys for a scrimmage. “O.K., I’ll see you all tomorrow,” said the coach. After a few days, the group was slowly de- creasing, but Don was still eligible. The coach had to cut one more boy from the squad. Although Don was trying his best, it looked hopeless. The final scrimmage before the last cut. This was it. Playing guard, Don was nervous. Because of this he dropped a pass which led to a basket for his opponents. He was sure now his chances were exhausted. Then, with a minute left, he plunged for a loose ball, recovered it, dribbled to the basket and made a beautiful lay-up, winning the game. Lining up for the final cut. the boys all prayed silently that they wouldn’t be the one cut. With sixteen uniforms in his hands, the coach approached the boys. One by one he passed them out, coming to Don, he handed him a uniform and said, “Congratulations. You played a fine game. It was now the night of the first game. As the players pranced upon the court, among them was Don Norton, who looked ten feet tall. JEWELS OF THE SEA Elizabeth Glines ’63 Collecting sea shells is now a nation-wide hobby. There are some 100,000 species to be found, not only those along the beaches, which are brought in by the tide, but in rivers and ponds. Their variety in shape, color and size is amazing. Many classes of shells occur in the animal kingdom, varying in size from minute organisms to large formations weighing 500 pounds. The outermost layer of a shell is a hard skin. The middle layer is the thickest. The innermost layer is thin and has a porcelain gloss. This part of the shell may gleam with a pearly luster, glow with a delicate pink, or glisten with peacock blues and greens. From this layer comes the mother-of-pearl used in buttons, jewelry, tool handles, and orna- ments. Here the true pearl is formed. Within the shell of a mollusk there is a soft body, a heart, stomach, liver and kidneys. Sea mollusks breathe through gills. They often have delicate senses and a keen sense of smell. Without dissecting these creatures, we can- not distinguish the male from the female. They can be very much like flowers, which are commonly male and female at the .same time. Flowers may also be all male or all fe- male. Mollusks may be made up of any of these strange arrangements. Certain shells are so beautiful that they are worn as jewelry by many people. Shells also travel from one country to another by means of scientists and museums who trade them. If we would just walk along the shores and pick up a few of these shells, we would come to realize all the other beautiful things God has put on this earth for our enjoyment. A most fascinating fact is that they are un- limited in quantity and without cost. Twenty-six THE LONE SURVIVOR Nancy Donahue ’61 My life story has been a continuous strug- gle for survival. I am a very healthy, sturdy freckle. But alas! I am doomed. Since I be- gan, I have survived all the treatments that I have been subjected to on many and varied occasions. These treatments were supposed to kill or obliterate me. But I am still the same bright, scintillating freckle. I first made my appearance in this cruel world on a sparkling clear day at the beach. I materialized on the cheek of Lady Jane. The name I have changed to protect the in- nocent. She was a very beautiful woman with a fair complexion, marred only by some of my relatives and friends, who occupied very prominent places on her cheek. Of course, existing on a woman’s epidermis is much more hazardous than on a man’s skin. My life has been jeopardized since birth by vanishing creams and soaps. Certainly, inhabiting such a conspicuous place as the face is the reason for the many attempts at our lives. My twin was noticed with lugubrious threats, long before I was because he was of a prodigious size. Lady Jane screamed many vile epithets at us! My family and friends were called pig- ment stains!! We were pointed out as para- sites! Can I help it if I am a parasite? But life was not as black as I have painted it. We gained delight from our games and each other’s company. We often played “Ring Around the Nosey,” but at night only. When Lady Jane’s friends came to visit here, we renewed acquaintances with fellow freckles who lived cn visitors’ blocks. Unfortunately things took a turn for the worst. Lady Jane consulted dermatologists and other specialists concerning us. They used bleaches, paints, cover-ups, whitewashes, and everything imaginable. We were pricked, sprayed, lathered, and painted. All this was in an attempt to kill us or at least cover us up. And many of the weaker freckles were slain. But we tenacious freckles held onto our lives. Yet we were doomed. The experts thought of surgery and operated. I am the sole sur- vivor of that terrible torture. My relatives and friends are now long dead, “But sturdy and staunch” I stand. Since now only I mar Lady Jane’s beauti- ful complexion, she has redoubled her efforts. She looks everywhere for something with which to kill me. Now she has a miracle cream supposed to kill cr obliterate any unsightly moles and freckles. She has said she would apply it to me sometime today. The reason I decided to tell my life history is . . . Help! Help! the cream!!! I’m suf- focat—...!!! A FEARLESS EXPERIENCE Janice DiNoceo 64 One Saturday morning, my mother told me that she had made an appointment for me with the dentist. Hearing this I tried every way to make her break this appointment. But mother would not give in. So after lunch, father drove us to the dentist. When we ar- rived at his office, father let us off and mother and I went in. After hanging up mv coat I went over and sat with mother. I soon became impatient as my fear grew stronger. At the same time a slight chill ran through my spine. I tried reading, but it didn’t do much good. At this point I was ready to go home. When I was called upon to be next, I left my seat, still a little shaky. As I went into the doctor’s of- fice, he said, “Hi,” and told me to be seated. Looking around and seeing all the large in- struments, my fears became stronger than ever. The doctor washed his hands and checked my teeth carefully. When he had finished, he said that my teeth were in good condition and he said he would send me a card in six months for another check-up. Hearing this my heart returned to normal and I became quite steady again. I said good- by and thank you to the doctor and went out to mother, who was waiting for me. I told mother the good news about the condition of my teeth and we both headed for home. Twenty-seven DOWN WITH CLOSETS Ella Bergman ’64 Cleaning a closet, far from being a simple matter, can easily turn into something of a nightmare. First off, you are overwhelmed by the urge to remove the entire contents of the closet all at once. It suddenly becomes quite clear to you just how deep that closet really is. Previously you had never suspected that it went back four feet. First, you begin to remove the things one by one from the hooks on the wall. However, instead cf mak- ing a little pile on a bench in the hall, as you had anticipated, you find them overflowing into the living room. Next, you remove all the boots, rubbers, galoshes, and such from the closet floor. Then you place the movie projector on the living- room couch. Now it seems a fairly simple matter to remove the rest of the clothing hanging in the closet. You just throw them down on the—on—the—well, all right, you put them on the bed—but only for a few min- utes, of course. Look—there’s daddy’s overcoat right be- side the boys’ last year’s winter coats. And for goodness sake, isn’t that the blue tweed coat you lost over a year ago ? In removing the front layer of coats, it is painfully revealed to your startled eyes for the first time that there is a second layer. This is the one you had long since forgotten. In school you are taught that matter can be neither created nor destroyed. But you know, as well as every other closet-cleaner, that this is sheer nonsense. Matter gets cre- ated all the time. How else then did that silly bird cage get in there? You never had a bird, let alone a bird cage! Oh, that bird? The canary? The cue you gave away two years ago? Come to think of it, they did bring back the foolish cage when the bird died? But who in the world put it in the hall closet? Now let’s shut all the closet doors and keep them shut. Who would ever dream a closet could be such a nuisance! But what under the sun are you going to do with all those things that came out of it? FISHING AT THE CHARLES David Malozi ’63 Many fishermen frown at the thought of fishing in the Charles River because most fish caught there are not edible due to the oil content in the water. However, if the an- gler is a sport fisherman, he is in for good fishing. There are a few things that must be learned about fishing here before you can be very successful. Naturally you must know where to go, and have a good knowledge of the habits of the fish. When I fish at the Charles I always get a good catch, because I learned the above fun- damentals. I truthfully believe that I could take any sensible person to the river, and he could land some good-sized fish. I have gone only once this year and landed eleven fish, eight horned pout, good-sized ones at that. This early catch reveals a good sea- son in store for the angler. On one of my last trips in 1960. I caught a fifteen pound carp on a four pound test line. The battle lasted over fifteen minutes, and when I wearily landed the twenty-five inch giant I had quite a few wide-eyed spectators. Along with the fishing it is beautiful there with lots of green grass, water fountains and a refreshment stand nearby. I fish in a small lagoon, linked by two bridges. So, my money is on the Charles for fishing. Twenty-eight ALUMNI Dr. John Russell, Nuclear Physicist One of the most outstanding boys of the class of 1951 is John Russell. All through high school John took the Scientific Course. Not only did he graduate with honor, but he also participated in many activities. He was on the Radiator Staff in his sophomore year and Editor-in-Chief in his junior year. The following year, John was Editor of the Year- book. While he was Editor, John received many awards from the Globe and other or- ganizations. One of the most important organizations of the high school is the National Honor So- ciety. John was chosen as a member with the first drawing and then became President in his senior year. The Harvard Book Prize is a prize awarded to the most outstanding boy in the junior class. This prize was given to John Russell in 1950. At the graduation of the class of ’51, John was chosen as the salutatoriam But his rec- ord of achievements did not stop there. After high school John attended M.I.T. for eight years. While at M.I.T. his name ap- peared on the Dean’s List, a list of the top- rating students in a college. In 1955 he re- ceived his Bachelor of Science Degree. Be- cause of his knowledge and ability, John was excused from the tests for a Master’s Degree and he went right ahead to receive his Ph.D. The highest total point average possible on graduating from M.I.T. is 5. John graduated with an average of 4.67. Upon completing college, John went to work at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, a branch of the Atomic Energy Commission. He is now working as a nuclear physicist on the staff of this commission. As far as plans for the future go, John has one very important plan, marriage. He is en- gaged to marry Miss Claire Pirani, also a graduate of the Class of ’51. John and Claire have known each other since junior high and in high school Claire was the Associate Edi- tor of the Radiator. Isn’t that a coincidence? Claire went on to Radcliffe College, gradu- ating with honor, and is now on the staff of the Security Department at M.I.T. We’d all like to wish John and Claire the best of luck both in their careers and in their married life. We’re sure that such a brilliant couple can find only true happiness. OUR FAVORITE TEACHER For the first issue of the Radiator, we have chosen Miss Frances Bullen as our favorite teacher. As you may already know, last month Miss Bullen fell and broke her hip. She is recuperating rapidly and hopes to be back with us soon. As a student at Somerville High, Miss Bul- len took the College Course along with French and, her “one and only,” Latin. After gradu- ating from high school, she attended Mount Holyoke College, majoring in Latin and then went on to Radcliffe for her master’s degree. After college, she taught for many years at the Western Junior High. Then she began teaching at the high school. When asked if she would like to teach anywhere else, she replied, “Oh, no! No other school could ever take the place of Somerville High.” At her home in Arlington, Miss Bullen is the proud owner of a large brown dog named Teddy-Bear and a gold and white cat named Calico. She has a beautiful garden in the back yard which she takes care of by herself. She loves to collect dishes, play the piano, and swim. Also, she likes to entertain company at her home. To put it in her own words, “I just like people.” And, because of her friendly and lovable nature, people like her. During her years of teaching, both at Western and at S.H.S., Miss Bullen has made many, many friends who love and admire her. For this reason, we all miss her very much and hope and pray that she will get well soon and hurry back to Somerville High and Room 204. Twenty-nine HAVE YOU MET? ROBERT TAYLOR 62 This hero type kid with blond hair and baby blue eyes, who stands 6 feet tall, is one of the most well-known boys at Somerville High. Of course, we all know that we are speaking of our football co-captain, baseball co-captain, basketball star and member of Student Council, Bobby Taylor. Bobby’s pref- erences in girls are just girls. Among Bobby’s favorite pastimes are working-out in the gym, listening to long-hair music (?), read- ing biographies, and eating steak. Someday Bobby hopes to attend some college and we all wish him the very best of luck. HERBERT SERPA 62 One of the most popular athletes in the hallowed walls of our high school is Herb Serpa. This sports enthusiast is co-captain of our football team, has been a track star for three years and also finds time to be on the Student Council. Little Herb stands 5' 10 and knocks out the girls with his dark brown hair and heavenly brown eyes. In order to keep his masculine figure masculine he gorges himself on Portuguese fried chicken, and also works in the Star Market. His future plans are to continue reading mysteries, to listen to mood music and to prepare for a business career at Boston U. or Boston C. We all wish him good luck in the future. Robert Toy lor Eloine Vergnoni Herbert Serpa Louise Mozyck ELAINE VERGNANI ’62 If you’ve seen a dark-haired, brown-eyed missile flying around Somerville High, that’s our secret weapon, Elaine Vergnani. Elaine is a very attractive, familiar figure in our school. Besides being the President of the Portia Debating Society, and Art Club, she is Secretary of the National Honor Society, and a member of the T.C.A. and Student Council. Her favorite subject is English, and someday she would like to become an English teacher. Elaine really loves Johnny Mathis, Harry Belafonte and swoons at all types of mood music. We all hope that Elaine has a happy and successful future and wish her luck in all that she does. LOUISE MAZYCK ’62 One of the sweetest and most vivacious personalities of Somerville High is Louise Mazyck. Louise is a popular hazel-eyed bru- nette who finds time to be the President of Future Teachers Association, Editor of the Yearbook, a member of T.C.A., Portia, and Student Council. She enjoys popular and show music but loves any type with a beat. Her ideal boy should have a good sense of humor, and looks don’t count with this girl (much). Her plans for the future include at- tending college, but she hasn’t quite decided on what occupation to enter. Thirty ROYS’ STATE Charles Rosselli ’62 Boys’ State was set up and run just like the state of Mass. The boys belonged to either one of two parties, the Federalists or Nationalists. They belonged to one of the cities and town and ran for local office on their party ticket. Party conventions were held and the candidates for state officers were chosen from these party conventions. After a few days of campaigning, the elections were held and the governor, and other state offi- cials were elected. There were courses in law and government also given at Boys’ State. These instructions were given in the lecture halls of the Univer- sity of Massachusetts in Amherst where Boys’ State was held this season. Tests were given in both courses and those who got the highest marks in the law tests became judges on our supreme court. The highest rating in the government course received points on their participation cards. There were a few hours set aside every day for athletics. A boy could play on any of the numerous teams and receive points, take swimming instructions, work on the news- paper, play in the band, or just relax. It was entirely up to him how he spent the two hours. The food was excellent and plentiful. Many new friends were made by all and every boy there wishes he could go again. Many thanks to the American Legion, who sponsored this most worthwhile and educa- tional program, from Somerville High’s mem- bers of Boys’ State.

The angels spoke of it when they sang: “Peace on earth, good-will toward men.” Christmas is love. The love of giving and self-sacrifice, the love of our fellow man and the love of our Creator. Peace on earth in these troubled times— what would be more desired! If only we could give peace—distribute it as we do our surplus commodities. Is the love in our hearts strong enough to give to our fellow man? Do we possess this commodity in surplus? This is a special time of year—Christmas- time—a time for reflection. “Must my giving be of material things or may I share myself?” How many of us will take into our homes some lonely stranger—a foreign student un- accustomed to our ways or a service person unable to be with his family, and unhappy. Among your own neighbors there must be one family you could share your bounty with —perhaps an aged couple, alone in the world awaiting a word of cheer and comfort or an unfortunate family stricken by illness and defeat, anticipating a bleak Christmas with no hope of sharing in the brotherliness of the occasion—someone who would be cheered by a portion of your Christmas love. He, whose birthday we commemorate said it in just these words: “Love Thy Neighbor as Thy- self.” We have but to look around us to see how miserably we are failing. Peace on Earth? Why today nations are again bickering over boundaries and commercial pacts. Problems are again being written that may have to be erased by the blood of the innocent. Weapons of destruction are being perfected and used for international blackmail. Man has cast his eyes toward heaven not in prayer but in con- quest. “And in despair I bowed my head: ‘There is no peace on earth I said; ‘For hate is strong And mocks the song Of peace on earth, good-will to men!’ ” Famine and desolation are again rampant in China, we are told. The inclination to “Love They Neighbor” is stifled by the fear of being misunderstood. Could we give of our material bounty, which would be the first im- pulse of a sympathetic nation, and not be thought of as weak ? In the emerging new Africa, white is pitted against black, nation against nation, con- sumed in the flames of avarice and smolder- ing hatreds. Oh that we could sprinkle them with Christmas Love as Tinkerbell enlight- ened Peter Pan! But do we have to look as far as Africa ? “Then from each black, accursed mouth The cannon thundered in the South Thr«« And with the sound The carols drowned Of peace on earth, good-will to men!” In our own backyard we have the problem of racial and secular prejudices—the Free- dom riders of the Southland and their prob- lems of desegregation—the animosities still carried over from Civil War days. What better time of the year is there to reflect and then to resolve to practice what we preach? Peace on Earth, Good-Will To- ward Men can only come from the heart of man. May yours find the way. “Then pealed the bells more loud and deep. ‘God is not dead; nor doth He sleep! The Wrong shall fail, The Right prevail, With peace on earth, good-will to men!’ ” HOW CHRISTMAS HAS CHANGED Francine Marrano ’64 In the beginning Christmas meant cele- brating Christ’s birthday. The first Christ- mas everyone brought gifts to the Christ child. After that everyone honored Christ on Christmas. It was a special day because it was our Lord’s birthday. They didn’t give everyone presents and celebrate as they do now. Nowadays Christmas to most people means lights, trees, decorations, presents, food, and drink. People nowadays want most of all to receive presents and to indulge in food and drink. The Christmas spirit has changed from the happy people honoring Christ and singing Christmas carols. On Christmas Eve people used to decorate their trees and pray for a happy Christmas. Now they have their trees weeks before Christmas and plan on the parties and cele- brations they are going to have. I think the first people had the right idea of Christmas. They didn’t have to worry about all the people who drink. Around Christmas and also on New Year’s people in- dulge more in liquor than at any other time. They have a jolly time getting drunk. They do not think of the real meaning of Christ- mas and not many people even know of “Little Christmas” which is a week later. For some people Christmas is a very nice time, because they know the real meaning of it. To others it’s just a holiday off from work and worries. It would be nice to have an old-fashioned Christmas. Many people may not like the idea, but others would appreciate the real way of cele- brating Christmas. Well, anyway, Merry Christmas to all! CHRISTMAS Virginia Ferris ’64 On December 25, when Christmas rolls around, our homes, towns and cities look dif- ferent. Fir trees covered with electric lights set our streets and living rooms aglow. People exchange gifts and sing Christmas carols. A spirit of merrymaking is in the air. For Christmas is the time when we ob- serve the birthday of Jesus Christ born in the manger of a cattle shed in the village of Nazareth almost two thousand years ago. And what better time for rejoicing could there be than the anniversary of our Savior’s birth. Christmas is a day of gift-giving because the Magi brought gifts from afar to the in- fant Jesus. St. Nicholas—or, as we Ameri- cans call him, Santa Claus—arrives as a pa- tron saint of children to bring gifts. In America, he has developed a way of coming into our houses through the chimney. But how did Santa get his name? The story is that the early English settlers in our land could not understand the original Dutch settlers. When the Englishmen asked their Dutch friends the name of the Spirit of Christmas, the Dutch replied “St. Nicholas.” But the Dutch accent made the words sound like “San-ni-klowse.” And so we got our name for the great Christmas gift-giver! So we see that “Santa Claus” is a purely American name! In English, he is called “Father Christmas.” French children call him “Pere Noel,” which means the same thing. And all over the world, of course, children call him by his full name, “St. Nicholas.” What about the Christmas tree? These evergreens, decorated and lit up for the Christmas season seem to have come to us Four from the Germans. Centuries ago at Christ- mas, German parents began to hang gifts cn trees like these, and often to illuminate them with candles. Indeed, it may have been the Germans who originated many of our jolly tales of Santa Claus, though St. Nicholas him- self was the Russian patron saint of children. Let’s be grateful to the founders of our Christmas tales and customs, whoever they were. Christmas is our holiday of holidays. And along with the fun, the games and the gifts, Christmas is a time when each of us looks into his heart, reviewing the long year behind us and preparing for the year ahead. Our greatest religious holiday, it is at once a period for fun-making and serious thought. CHRISTMAS IN TWO PLACES — THE OLI) WORLD AND THE NEW Catherine Licari ’63 It was the night before Christmas. The streets were slushy and white. Heavenly snowflakes were gracefully floating upon the roofs, on the age-old earth, on leafless branch- es, moved softly by wind whispers, and upon people, whose eyes were unaware of this God-given beauty and who made their way homeward returning from a tiring day of work or from a day of last-minute shopping. To them all this enchantment was customary, but to me, as I sat there looking through the closed window, it was fascinating. Having been living in the United States for only a few months, all of this was my very first look at snow and the first Christ- mas in this strange, new country. The sur- roundings of the American Christmas, with all its dreamy, fairy-decorated shops, with its beautifully adorned Christmas trees and with its exchanging of presents bewitched me, but my heart could not help but wander back to my previous Christmas. I closed my eyes and tried to imagine what it would have been like in Italy, and as I thought about it I could not help but miss it. Would there be any beautiful shops as in America? Would there be any snow? A Christmas tree? No, there wouldn’t. Oh, of course, children who still believed that little Jesus would bring them presents, would re- ceive them, while everyone else in the family would at least receive a new dress or a new suit for Christmas. On Christmas Eve all the members of the family and all the relatives, in my family, about 27, would gather from all cities to the old grandparents’ house. That night there would be dancing, and laughing and happiness coming from the joy of seeing one another on such a beautiful, religious night. Later on maybe the neighbors would join in and sometimes someone would sing while another played an accordion. When all had tired from dancing, and the neighbors gone home, every- one would sit around the oldest in the family and listen to him as he told stories of his youth and stories told to him by his ancestors. Oh, how attentively everyone listened! And everyone, especially me, sat there spell-bound, inert, without making a sound, afraid to lose part of the usually unbelievable story and not to disturb its telling. On Christmas Day, in which usually there were no clouds in the sky, the sun would be shining, the birds would be singing, and fra- grant flowers wet from the morning dew would always be blooming, and the day would be warm, warm enough for everyone, every- one, to go to church, clothed in their new, colorful, elaborate dresses, and to pray to God and to give thanks for his benefits. I remember that little church well. It was named for St. Joseph and it had a little altar that on Christmas Day would be furnished with the most beautiful flowers and the old candlesticks’ holders would shine like new. Of course there was a Manger at the foot of the Altar and the church was decorated all around with strings and strings of flowers tied together. After Mass all walked home together, lis- tening to the chiming of the bells, and when everyone arrived at home, all helped to set the table and then the family would eat and later play games. Yes, I loved those Christ- mases, Christmases which were celebrated with only people. But would I like this Christmas? My first in America? Yes, I loved that Christmas, and had a wonderful time, with its snow, with its presents and all that which brings Christ- mas happiness to the Amei'ican people. That beautiful night I realized that Christmas joy springs not from the place, be it sunny or snowy, be it with many or few people, but from the heart. Five I HATE CAROL David DiPerna ’63 When I am walking to school and I see Carol swinging up the street, why is it that my heart begins to pound like mad? And with every step she takes bringing her closer to me, why does my heart thump even hard- er? Furthermore, what makes both knees start shaking and what starts my legs trem- bling with the sound of her golden words: “Hi, Dave!” Surely, it couldn’t be Carol, be- cause I positively despise that girl. But why do I get up at seven o’clock almost every morning and rush out of the house be- fore 7:45? Surely, it couldn’t have anything to do with Carol who has to be in her school by eight o’clock. Do you know I simply can’t stand that girl ? Why do I nearly break my neck to get out of school when the dismissal bell rings at two o’clock? And why do I race down the steep hill almost knocking over everyone ahead of me? Then what makes me dash through Union Square, when always by sheer coin- cidence I just happen to run into Carol who is waiting for her bus at that stop? What is it that causes my knees to shake again and how come my heart keeps jumping all around inside of me at her words, “Hi, Dave!” Did I tell you that Carol is just a great big pain in the neck ? On cold winter mornings when it is very windy, why do I take my time getting out of bed? Why is it that I do not exert myself to hurry out of the house as I did before? Could it possibly be that I would feel em- barrassed in front of her because the bluster- ing wind makes my hair stick up in every di- rection? But Carol doesn’t mean a thing in my young life. Worst of all, what about those wise guys who are always ready to scoff you out ? Espe- cially when they say, “Do you like Carol, that creep?” What makes me get red in the face and all mixed up when I try to answer them and all I can say is, “Who—me?” Gosh, I just don’t understand it at all. CHRISTMAS TROUBLES Carol Anastas ’63 At Christmastime trying to buy a tree is very hard to do in our family of four girls. Each one must give her opinion on the “per- fect tree,” but at the end, to prevent too much confusion, mother has the final word. This ends one problem! The next problem lies in putting up “our” choice. Here is the inevitable scene at our house every Christmas. “Straighten the tree, Sandy,” I said look- ing at it from the side line. But as I stood there gazing at it, there seemed to be some- thing wrong! I thought a moment then said, “We have to put in a branch on the left side to make the tree look balanced. Everybody thought I was crazy, but they soon came to the same conclusion. Having drilled a hole in the decided spot, I stuck in the extra branch with care and at- tention. After some twisting and turning it finally satisfied everyone! “Now, let’s start putting up the lights,” Joanna enthusiastically yelled. After untan- gling the string of lights, she anxiously started to lace them around the tree. The rest of us watched and glibly gave our ad- vice as to where each bulb should be placed. After finishing the lights, we decided that Six our next task would be in putting up the or- naments. Since we have our tree near a cor- ner, someone has the pleasure of crawling under the tree to get in baek. The other two girls work in the front and Andrea, who is the smallest, watches and enjoys every mo- ment of our escapade. Once every so often she too has a hand in putting up lights and ornaments, but she unfortunately always manages to get herself into mischief and must sit down. Last but not least the tinsel is easily placed upon the green branches and makes a glow- ing sight out of the once barren tree. All the tree lights are turned on and everyone sits down to watch this beautiful sight except me. Why? The reason is—I am stranded behind the tree with no way out, the result of having to decorate the “behind the scene” branches. THE CHRISTMAS SEASON Linda Muzzioli '63 The Christmas season is almost here. The children’s hearts are filled with cheer. Their smiling faces seem to glow As soon as they see signs of snow. They know that Santa’s on his way With all his toys packed in his sleigh; And when they go to sleep at night, They will awake to such a sight! The tree will stand there big and tall And under it nice gifts for all The church bells will chime on this glorious morn For this is the day that our Saviour was born. “PROJECT WHITE WIZARD” Gordon Norman ’63 “Oh come on, Larry, I have an old '38 Coupe in my yard, and the junk yard is loaded with some terrific parts.” “Yeh, but I don’t work like you, Don. Where am I going to get money for a project like that?” That was the general line of conversation stemming from the corner booth of the local malt shop. Don Morrison was desperately trying to convince Larry Watson that “Proj- ect White Wizard” was most worthwhile. With the High School “Custom Auto Show” coming up in two months, Don wanted to win that beautiful gold trophy offered for first place. And besides, with all the publicity, he was bound to be swarmed with dates for the senior prom. Well, finally Don persuaded Larry into join- ing the project. That afternoon they went over to Don’s yard to scrutinize the old Coupe. After long deliberation, they concluded that the body was a bit corroded, but they had some body-mending kits, which do an excel- lent repair job. That evening they went over to the junk yard. For only five dollars, they were able to pick up two good headlights and some important parts for under the hood. The engine, which had not been used since the early forties, was actually in good work- ing order. And, of course, it would be even better with the triple carburetor and new plugs and points. After a month of tiring work the “White Wizard” had its engine work completed. “Come on, let’s take it around the block,” said Don anxiously. “Gee, can I come?,” pleaded a young voice from the rear. It was Ronald, Don’s little brother. “Okay, but behave yourself.” “Oh I will, I will, honest.” They got into the car and started it up. It started perfectly, with no mistakes. The engine sounded clean and smooth. Up the street, around the corner they went, and back to the front of the house. “It was great, Don,” said Larry, “we’re bound to win on engine performance, but what about styling?” “I've got that figured cut, Larry. We’ll work on a paint job, bucket seats, and new side paneling.” Seven They worked even harder, with great ten- acity. Finally, three days before the auto show, they finished all the work on the “White Wizard.” “Don’t forget to come over to my house at five o’clock Friday, we have to get the car entered,” said Don. “Okay Don, I’ll see you later,” and Larry headed for home. “Ding-dong!” It was Larry at the front door. Den ran to open it. “Come on, let’s go,” commanded Larry, “we’re going to be late.” “Oh Larry, my brother Ronald is coming. My mother made me take him.” “That’s all right,” replied Larry. They started the Wizard up and headed for the auto show. About half way to the show, Ronald started screaming for some gum. “Okay, you wait here, Larry and I will get it for you.” Larry and Don stopped at a store and got out of the car. When they returned a few minutes later, the Wizard was gone. It’s been stolen,” shouted Larry. “No, look down the hill,” said Don. At the bottom of the hill was a large crowd. The boys reluc- tantly concluded that the Wizard was wrecked, and Oh! what about Ronald! But surprisingly the Wizard was all in- tact, and Ronald (bless him) sitting proudly behind the wheel. “What happened,” asked Don to an onlook- er. “Oh, this car rolled down that hill and that smart little guy pulled it to a stop.” After treating Ronald to an enormous Ba- nana Split, the boys continued on their way to the show. They had the Wizard entered and stood by it while the judges observed. The judges finally reached a decision. The head judge stood up and read off the list of Honorable Mention, and then picked up one of the three trophies. “The third place winner is Jerry Wilson’s Road Baron.” “The second place winner is Dick Morton and Johnny Gilbert’s Black Stallion.” “And finally the first place winner is Don Morrison and Larry Watson’s White Wiz- ard !” AN IMPORTANT MEETING Marilyn Cohen ’63 It was twelve o’clock when Marcy Stevens stepped into the small restaurant. “My, it’s crowded in here,” she thought to herself as she glanced around the room locking for an empty table. After a few minutes she noticed a table near the side entrance. Scrambling as fast as her long legs could carry her, she reached the table. As she was looking over the menu, a tall, handsome man approached her. “Would you mind if I share this table with you, Miss?” he asked. “There doesn’t seem to be any other place to sit.” “Of course not,” Marcy answered as she surveyed the tall stranger. He sat down and as they were ordering their lunch Marcy was thinking of her interview at 2:00. Yes, the day had finally come when Marcy was to be interviewed for a job. After she had finished college she didn’t know what to do. She had just floundered around until a few weeks ago when her mother called her attention to an ad in the paper. “I wonder what my future boss is like?” she thought. “He’s probably fat, bald, and old.” She was aroused from her thinking when the stranger said something about the weather. “Oh, yes, it is a very nice day,” Marcy said. “I hope it stays that way.” “Why shouldn’t it?” asked the stranger. “Because I might not get my job,” Marcy responded. “You see, today I’m to be inter- viewed for a very important position and it will be my first real job.” “I see,” he told her. “I’ll just bet you’re scared stiff. I remember my first job inter- view.” “Please tell me about it,” Marcy pleaded. “It might.take my mind off myself.” And so the stranger told Marcy of his first interview and how he had tried so hard to make a great appearance only to be beaten out by a much more experienced man. “I never thought I’d get through it,” he smiled. “Now it’s all forgotten.” “Oh, I do hope so,” Marcy said doubtfully. Just then they were served and-they ate Eight their lunch quickly. After they had finished eating, the stranger walked Marcy over to the building where she was to be interviewed and bade her farewell. Going up in the elevator she thought over what the stranger had said and tried to re- main calm. When she stepped out into the corridor she looked for office 52. Taking a deep breath she stepped into the tiny recep- tionist’s office and walked up to the recep- tionist who made no sign of even noticing her. “Excuse me,” said Marcy. “I’m Miss Stev- ens, the girl to be interviewed by Mr. Stoav- ing at 2:00 P.M.” “Well, so you are,” said the receptionist. “Please take a seat. Mr. Stoaving will see you shortly.” Marcy wandered to a wide plastic sofa and sat down with her legs buckling under her. While she waited she stared at the reception- ist who was busy filing and didn’t seem to notice her. She was about fifty with steel gray hair and dark horn-rimmed glasses. “Just the perfect efficient receptionist,” Marcy thought. The time went by slowly. It seemed like two hours since she had entered the ofTice instead of fifteen minutes. The receptionist said to Marcy in a very cool tone. “You may go in now.” “Thanks loads,” Marcy thought, and picked herself up. She walked over to the inner of- fice and opened the door. “Come in, come in,” she heard a deep mas- culine voice say. Mr. Stoaving was standing with his back to her and turned slowly around to face her. Guess who it was? No, not the stranger but it turned out to be his father. Seated beside him was the stranger Marcy had met only an hour or so before. Well, she got the job, but didn't have it for too long because today she is MRS. Marcy Stoaving. I guess it was an important meet- ing after all! DOUBLE TROUBLE Pauline Demetri 27 There is only one thing worse than having a nine-year-old brother, and that is having two nine-year-old brothers. Such is the case in my household. Mike and Jerry, or the “Little Demons,” as they are most commonly called, are the two most mischievous brats in the neighborhood. It isn’t enough that they get themselves into trouble, but they have to invite all the chil- dren from three years and up to join them on their escapades. The twins’ favorite pastime is building things. I wouldn’t mind if they were sensible things, but what can you do with two card- board boxes tied onto a pair of carriage wheels? Another one of their ingenious in- ventions is the portable clubhouse. It con- sists of a three by four foot cardboard box, minus a roof. To make it more foolish-looking they decided to build stairs. Now, why any- one over four feet tall would need stairs to crawl into something three feet high, I don’t know. When I asked them why they had stairs, they answered in unison, “It makes it look more realer!” The biggest problem with having younger brothers or sisters is you have to take them with you everywhere you go. One night I decided to go to Brigham’s for an ice cream. Of course when the twins heard this, they cried and screamed until my mother made me take them with me. Most boys their age think they are some famous cowboy, but the twins think they are the Everly Brothers. As we were eating our ice cream, Mike began chanting a song he had made up about worms. Jerry having picked up the tune began beat- ing it out on the table. Despite all my threats they continued singing. I tried to make them move, but they refused, saying that they were entertaining the customers. After a while the manager came out and said, “Young lady, if you don’t remove your two canaries from my presence, I will be forced to throw them from this cage!” Boy, when I got them home did they sing a different tune! One day these two little monsters put their Nin heads together and decided to play a joke on my father. That night they found his electric razor and filled it with black ink. The next day when my father tried to shave, his face looked like a leopard with more than his share of spots. When my father questioned them about the incident, they looked at him with their big blue eyes as if to say, “Who? Us?” Even though more than half the time they are real pests, I don’t know what I would do without them. (But I’d like to find out.) “We’re going to enjoy this vacation—even if it kills us,” declared my mother. With these encouraging words and the closing of the car door on my finger, we were off to Vermont, Lake Champlain, to be precise. There was a minor stop for a band-aid; you’d never be- lieve there was so much blood in one finger. As a matter of fact, for a short time my finger tip resembled a red artesian well, but, so much for casualties. With finger bandaged, hopes reasonably high, and a collection of practically every item imaginable, ranging from the cabin cruiser to the family cat, we once again head- ed for Burlington. We took Vermont literally by storm — it was pelting rain when we reached the border. If you think you’ve had an exasperating ex- perience, it’s nothing compared to being caught in the rain in an open convertible. With the top halfway up, the hydraulic sys- tem sprang a leak and sprayed black oil all over the back seat, in which I, unfortunately, happened to be sitting. With black faces, tempers enraged, and top down, we proceeded to Burlington. Three hours later we arrived at our cottage, which was about twelve miles from Burlington, one mile of dirt road and ten miles of no road. I must admit that at first glance our “cot- tage” appeared to be a hobo’s shack; at sec- ond glance, it definitely was a hobo’s shack. To begin with, the house showed no sign of ever having been painted. It radiated a murky yellow glow about the area accom- panied by a very strong musty odor, nauseat- ing combination. The so-called front yard looked as though it would be the perfect place to film a Tarzan movie. The lawn, if it may be called that, was entangled and overgrown with huge weeds, towering shrubs, and thou- sands of small red ants. The house itself was not exactly Utopia either. First of all, it was not sturdily built; I got the impression that a good gust of wind would level the entire structure. My mother could contain herself no longer. “So this is the secluded millionaire’s hide- away, George?” she quipped. Dad meekly returned to the car and unloaded the luggage. It seems as though the salesman had con- vinced him that he was literally stealing this miserable place for one hundred thirty dollars a week. If you ask me, it was the salesman who was doing all the stealing. After forging our way through the insect- laden jungle, we finally reached the porch. Dad sheepishly suggested that we enter the house and view its inner beauty, gorgeous wall-to-wall carpeting, and modern conven- iences, which he assured us were numerous. We opened the door. The “inner beauty” con- sisted of dust, a squeaking floor, which seemed as though it would cave-in if we so much as looked at it, dust, a cracked ceiling, which threatened to collapse, and more dust. There was no wall-to-wall carpeting in every' room. Let’s face it. We were fortunate to have wall-to-wall floors, period. As for mod- ern conveniences, they were non-existent, with the exception of a water pump, which proved to be more of an inconvenience. “Well, there’s a pump. At least, we have running water,” added my father as a con- Ton solution. After priming the pump, I jerked the handle a dozen times and foolishly ex- pected to get some water. A weird, rumbling noise and some wild vibrations were all that resulted. Gradually, a murky, semi-solid gook emerged from the spout. Dad’s running water was more like creeping mud. That night we slept in the boat, since there were no beds nor any furniture to speak of in the cottage. On the second day after our arrival, my mother planned a boat outing. We set the alarm early (6:30 A.M.), and packed the boat full of food, clothing, fishing rods, bait, and just about everything imaginable from life preservers to catnip. By 8:30 (that’s how long it took us to stock the boat), we were ready to cast off. We headed for Little Grand Isle, which is about twenty miles distant and in the approximate center of Lake Champlain. Our floating emporium sped along swiftly but securely at thirty knots. The ride was very relaxing for about thirty-five minutes. Then there occurred a strange, sputtering noise, accompanied by violent and irregular vibrations. Within fifteen seconds the boat was at a stop and drifting ever so slightly. It seems that with all the supplies with which we had fortified the boat, we had neglected one very essential item—the gas. Immediately blame and counter-blame were shouted about, concerning exactly who was responsible, but all in vain. There we were, in the center of Lake Champlain, which is roughly six hundred square miles of water, without another craft in sight. Since we had no radio, except my portable, we could con- tact no one. Fortunately we had more than an ample supply of food. As a matter of fact, I was amazed that the boat, even with its tv;in power-pack engines was able to move at all after what my mother had brought aboard as our “little snack.” Mom’s “little snack” took the place of food for one day only. For this period my mother had taken four shop- ping bags full of food and eight one-quart thermos jugs. We ate and soon after searched the horizon for a boat. We spotted a speed boat and waved and shouted violently. The occupants of the boat replied and cheerily waved back! This was all that my mother needed; she declared that she would not set so much as one toenail in- side a cabin cruiser or any floating device again in her life, and as for those people who had the audacity merely to wave to us, why they were just too repulsive for words. Soon afterwards another boat came, and we man- aged to attract attention. The people in this boat did not wave to us but rather loaned us some gasoline. Aside from the previously mentioned events and the horseback ride, during which the horse jumped and I didn’t, the vacation was very enjoyable. I doubt, however, that we shall ever spend another vacation at Lake Champlain or anywhere within a two hundred mile radius of Vermont. $$$ CAKE SALES ARE FOR WOMEN Frank Noone ’63 Unthinkingly, I recently obliged my mother by volunteering to buy a cake at a neighbor- hood cake sale. Before leaving I ran over a carefully prepared plan of operations. Step 1. Approach cake table. Step 2. Select cake. Step 3. Give salesperson money for cake. Step 4. Receive cake. Step 5. Make exit. This looked relatively easy to do until I arrived at the sale. I found women piled five deep in front of the table. My Adam’s apple dropped six inches, and I broke out in a cold sweat. Next came indecision, and then I knew I’d have to revise my tactics and just “play it by ear.” So, nonchalantly, I approached the impreg- nable mass and edged my way in firmly, but politely. Ah!, just perfect, now I’m in posi- tion, and here is a perfect cake; oops, not fast enough, someone grabbed it first. After about fifteen minutes of receiving this punishment I gave up and sadly report- ed home with my mission unaccomplished. As I sit thinking about what I should have done I come to the conclusion that “Cake Sales Are for Women.” Eleven I LED TWO LIVES Leo Kelly ’63 One night after finishing my homework I went into the living room to watch television. When I turned the TV on, a history-making news event was just beginning. A fat, bald- headed man from Russia was going to make an important speech to the U.N. This looked like a very educational program so I changed the station. On the other channel was a detective story, “Peter Gunn, Private Eye.” This looked pretty good (and so did Pete’s girl friend) so I sat down to watch it. The story was all about a Soviet spy-ring headed by Lotus Bud, a ruthless communist who especially hated Peter Gunn, because Lt. Jacobi, the cop, and Gunn had killed her partner. After the pic- ture was over I went right to bed. Boy, was I tired. I soon fell into a deep sleep. It must have been an hour after I went to sleep when I heard a knock on the door. Drowsily I got out of bed to open the door. When I did I got the surprise of my life. There was Lt. Jacobi and he was calling me Peter Gunn. When I told him my real name he insisted it was just my secret identity and that I was leading two different lives. Any- way, he told me to come along so I got dressed and followed him to his car. As we drove along, I wondered what this all could be about. As if he had read my mind, the Lieutenant answered by telling me that we were on our way to capture Lotus Bud and her gang. Lo- tus Bud? Now I was really confused but I said nothing. In a little while we came to a building with patrol cars surrounding it. As we got out, the other officers went around back. Jacobi signaled me to follow him. We burst into the building, which proved to be an abandoned warehouse, and surprised the whole gang planning a raid. While the gang made a stand, Lotus lit out to the back room. The Lieutenant had given me a gun, and when it was empty I signaled him to keep shooting while I went after Lotus Bud. When I got to the door I opened it very cautiously. The room was dark except for a little light given off by a candle on a small table in the center. As I went over to the table the door quickly slammed shut behind me. W'hen I turned around I saw her. Lotus Bud was beautiful but dangerous, and she had a gun. As she started to pull the trigger, she smiled and I heard her say, “Come on, get up, breakfast is ready.” To my relief it was my mother’s voice and my adventure turned out to be only a dream. But as short-lived as it was, for a while I had led two lives. OLD BOSTON Rosemarie Farina ’63 Riding through the subway, I glanced at the headlines of a local paper. The grim warning of a hurricane changed my cheerful disposition to cold anxiety. The news of the hurricane led a parade of dismal thoughts across my mind. But as I walked up the stairs, I saw the bustling crowds, the tall building decorated in browns and golds, and a policeman halting the surging trafTic. An exhilarating feeling rushed through me, and I forgot the hurri- cane. I began to think in retrospect of the many times I experienced this pleasant feeling: from my childhood days, my first encounter with Santa Claus. Glistening pink and white candy canes dangled over his head; the pa- triotic tour of Boston; the exotic appeal of Chinatown; the exciting night out, My Fair Lady, the Polynesian Village; the solemnity of the workman’s chapel. Boston is a city of myriad moods, each one affecting its citizens. Twelve STRIKE UP THE BAND Edward King ’63 In addition to the many other opportunities presented to the students of Somerville High School, is the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument and to play in the vari- ous instrumental ensembles in the high school. These consist cf the marching band and the dance band, the Hilltoppers. During the football and basketball seasons, the marching band is kept very busy providing musical entertainment. In addition to this, however, the band must also participate in local civic celebrations such as parades and memorial dedications. During the Halloween-Thanksgiving sea- son, the band schedule is crammed. With the very limited curriculum time alloted for re- hearsals, the band must meet at extra and odd hours in order to rehearse special, sea- sonal music and to formulate marching drills and routines. This year the student conductor is Robert Boyce, who is recognized by his white uni- form and busby or bearskin hat. Also to aid in the appearance of the band are eleven ma- jorettes, headed by Pat Leyne and Jean Vio- lanto. These girls also devote much of their time to practice. The other instrumental group mentioned is the Hilltoppers, the Somerville High School dance band, which is becoming increasingly popular each time they appear. This year the group is lead by Stephen DeCrosta, a very outstanding saxophonist. The Hilltoppers have a very full schedule this year, having already played at Talent Night and the V.A. Hospital in Bedford. Also they have been booked for many occasions in the future, in- cluding a junior high school prom and a local club dance in May. The members of both organizations have a very enjoyable time participating in these events while, at the same time, they are bringing honor to Somerville High School. Whether it be marching down a football field or playing at a prom, the Somerville High School band is helping Somerville lead the way. 4 THRIFT Diana M. Phillips ’64 On October 23rd, the first deposit day of this school year, the High School succeeded in surpassing all its previous records for a first banking day. This year the amount of money banked was greater than ever before and we are especially proud of the large num- ber of participants. A grand total of $2183.50 was deposited, representing 765 participants. Those who took advantage of our School Bank, by opening a new account or adding to an old one, have shown that they are plan- ning wisely for future expenses by saving now. If you do not have an account in our bank, why not open one? Sophomores, this will give you a chance to start a college fund or Thirteen will give you ample time to start saving for the expenses you will face upon graduation. Juniors, too, may want to start saving now for next year’s expenses. Seniors, within a year you may be needing funds for further- ing your education and will welcome the se- curity of your own bank account. You, too, can learn the benefits of thrift by depositing regularly in your own account. Whether you are a new depositor or not, you will find that the Somerville High School Bank is your bank. Its purpose is to serve you. The School Bank offers to those students who work there, the opportunity of gaining experience and knowledge of banking pro- cedures. This training is often most helpful when applying for a job in a bank or any- where else. These students are learning the importance of accuracy and benefiting from lessons in responsibility. THE PLAYERS’ CLUB The Players’ Club under the direction of Mrs. MacDonnell meets every Tuesday after- noon in the auditorium. The Club held a very successful dance “Hawaiian Night” on Sep- tember 29. They also held two very success- ful cake sales, one at Gorin’s on Oct. 27, the other at Grant’s on the 28th. The officers are: President, Jacob Vartabedian; Vice- President, Ronald Pino: Treasurer, Myrle Fuller; Recording Secretary, Pam Kneeland; Corresponding Secretary, Virginia Christo- pher; Student Council Representative, Rose- marie Farina. Casting for this year’s play, “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” has begun. THE STUDENT PATROL The Student Patrol must be thought of as one of the most successful organizations of the school. Its vastly enlarged membership is due to the efforts of Charles Rosselli, Chief of the patrol, and John Mataros, Assistant Chief. Our Building Captains are Nelson Lanchester, Gordon Switzer and Paul Clark in charge of the West, Central, and East buildings respectively. The members of the Student Patrol are of steadfast character and possess the qualities of leadership and determination. Since a Stu- dent Patrol Officer is in constant contact with pupils, teachers, and school regulations there develops a strong sense of fidelity between him and the school. This characterizes a bet- ter pupil, a better person, a better citizen. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA The Future Teachers Club with Louise Mazyck as President; Paula Giroux and Joyce Catanzano, Vice-Presidents; Edward Orsi, Treasurer; Fern Leeman, Recording Secretary; Cathy Culverhouse, Corresponding Secretary; Carol Anastas, Director of Activi- ties and Public Relations; James Cavanaugh, Student Council Representative meets on Thursday in the teachers’ cafeteria. Mr. Thornton and Miss McCann as advisors are directing the club in its second year. The organization has planned to have a number of lectures by college students and teachers. The Future Teachers’ dance—“Winter Won- derland” was held on December 18. FUTURE NURSES Under the direction of Miss Holman and its officers; President, Susan Catharin; Vice- President, Paula Kaminski: Secretary, Donna Hope; Treasurer, Sheila Brackett; Donna Censale, Jeanne Panetta and Ruth Liedtke, the Executive Committee; the Future Nurses’ Club holds its various activities. Such as: visiting hospitals like the Peter Bent Brig- ham, Mount Auburn, Lawrence Memorial, Children’s Hospital. They also are holding a cake sale November 17. at Parke Snow’s.

The club corre- sponds with ones all over the country and, in fact, the world. Only the best scholars are elected and thus its membership is one of the coveted possessions a student can have. THE KEY CLUB On Wednesday nights at 7:00, the Key Club meets in the Somerville Y.M.C.A. The President is Barry Marshall; Vice President, Robert Nickerson; Second Vice-President, Peter Caruso; Secretary, Lawrence Elliott; Treasurer, Michael Landers, The club plans to have car washes, dances, and projects bene- ficial to the community, under the direction of Mr. Donahoe. STUDENT COUNCIL With Dean Mottard as president; Pamela Kneeland, vice-president; Edward Mackay, treasurer; and Sandra Tiesi, Secretary; the Student Council got the school year underway with the first dance of the season. Mr. Fas- ciano is the advisor of the group comprised of students representing the various clubs and the class officers. The meetings are held when necessary in room 210. The Student Council is selling book covers this year and we all hope you will show your school spirit by buying some. Fifteen THE KING Gordon Switzer ’62 THE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The activities of the Girls’ Glee Club which meets in room 315 the fourth period on Wednesday and is supervised by Miss Sweet include Talent Night, Oct. 20; Glee Club dance, November 3; Christmas programs and a concert to be held later in the year. The officers are: Pamela Kneeland, president; Joyce Lodico, vice-president; Dolores Oxley, treasurer; Ann Maclsaac, secretary and Stu- dent Council representative. I’ve seen the King of the mountain Go gallantly galloping by, As silver smoke from his nostrils Rose slowly toward the sky. The glittering tracks of the railroad Wound in a downward trend, As the mighty horse of the mountain Went galloping ’round the bend. And I heard from the far-off mountains A command sent to the sky, “Roll out the iron-clad carpet While the King goes gallantly by.” Then I saw from a distant hill-top, Beauty as that of spring, Arrayed like courtly subjects Awaiting the coming King, But he only paused for a moment To observe each subject’s form, Then with a blast of trumpets Went gallantly, galloping on. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL GLEE CLUB The S.H.S. Glee Club holds its meetings each Monday and Thursday fourth period in room 315 with Miss Sweet. As yet the club has only elected Ann Maclsaac as its secretary and Student Council representative. Activities already planned include: Talent Night, Oct. 20; Glee Club Dance, November 3; Holy Ghost Hospital, October 25; Veter- ans’ Hospital, November 6; Federated Wom- an’s Club, Feb. 10; and the Thanksgiving and Christmas assemblies. The a capella choir, whose forty selected members sing unaccom- panied, will perform first this year on the Christmas program. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Newly elected officers to the Boys’ Glee Club: President, Clement Kaloyanides; 1st Vice-President, Nicholas DiPompo; 2nd Vice- President, William Hansen; Secretary, Dan Scirli; Treasurer, Edward Harrington; Li- brarians, George Stringos and Frank Cafa- rella. MIST Mary Dooley, ’63 The mist descends in myriads of crystal drops Tantalizing the parched earth with its meas- ured sweetness, Caressing the wildflowers sheltered beneath the wooded copse And the land rests silent within the mist. Afar the city lights glow like halos over the gray gloom. The gray phantom deadens and muffles the roar of work. Down the twisting walks it stalks and lurks And within the still graveyard it floats above a hoary tomb. The mist sweeps along the sand with cool fingers Weaving and tracing weblike patterns across the hazy shore, Gliding silently onward to the rolling sea it stirs And at last it sighs, and sleeps once more.

Dur- ing the first half we engaged in a see-saw battle as Bobby Taylor and Herb Serpa scored on short runs, and Taylor passed to Serpa for the two points after Serpa’s touchdown. At half-time Somerville was losing 20-14. Wey- mouth struck like lightning at the beginning of the second half with two quick touchdowns. Ed Stackelski finished the scoring with a fifteen-yard touchdown run. Final score: Weymouth 36, Somerville 20. CHELSEA On November 18, the much awaited game between Chelsea and Somerville was canceled. This was the game which was postponed be- cause of the early snowstorm. Chelsea’s squad had been ravaged by sickness and they wished to save the healthy men for the Thanksgiving game. Somerville wen the game by forfeit, but this win is not included in the record. WALTHAM On Turkey Day, Somerville High enter- tained a powerful Waltham squad. Capital- izing on our mistakes, Waltham controlled the first half. When half-time finally rolled around, Waltham held a 24-0 lead. At the beginning of the second quarter Waltham scored a quick touchdown. It wasn’t until the final quarter until the Red and Blue showed some life. Sparked by the running of Alan Simpson, Ed Harrington and Ed Stackelski scored two touchdowns, and Taylor threw passes to Dick Graham for the four extra points. With less than a min- ute left a fight erupted and both benches filled the field. Trying to stop the fight, no doubt, Somerville was again a little short in the point column: Waltham 30, Somerville 16. Somerville’s G.B.I. record finished at 1-4, a sorry season for the Red and Blue!

(Greater Boston League).” Coaches Sulli- van and Perry will again have a top-contend- ing team at Somerville. Since many of the star players (Knight, Troy, Perry, Camielo and others) of last year’s team have gradu- ated, this season must be considered one of rebuilding. But Somerville by no means lacks the talent to fill the vacancies left by these illustrious people. Captain Jimmy Lally, and other returning team members such as Gus Ponte (F); Bob Taylor (G); Ed Harrington (G); and Phil MacAdams (C) will return to give the framework to the team. Last year’s J.V.’s supply other experienced players like A1 Pearson (F); Ed Mackay (F); Tom O’Brien (G); and Bob Paroyan (F). All in all, Somerville should have one of its best seasons1 on record.

Numbers in parenthesis indicate order of game Patrick Goggin, Head Coach HOCKEY For some unknown reason. Hockey and Track share the dubious title of the forgotten sports of Somerville High. And in the case cf Hockey we find no reason for it. Admit- tedly Hockey is one of the most lively, excit- ing, fast-moving sports played in high schools. So why not come see S.II.S. play a fast rugged game! We guarantee that you won’t want to miss a single contest. Somerville High’s sextet of 1961-62 should prove to be an excellent team. Although they were not too successful last year, Somerville’s team promises to come back strong. Pat Goggin, the head coach, has two excellent skaters in co-captains Jim Quinn and Richard Hughes. Vincent Ciampi will find it mighty hard to fill the gap left in the cage by John “Redlight” Corbett. But Vinny will do his best, and we know that he will probably back- bone the Red and Blue to the championship. Back there giving Vinny a helping hand will be defensemen Hughes, John Aylward, Daniel Crowley, and a group of new faces. Strengthening the center will be Jimmy Quinn, Jackie Mountain, and Dan Murphy. Coach Goggin has found a strong wingman in Ed Lupi. Pressing the attack on the enemy’s ice will be Steve Saslow and Frank and Pete Burgess. With the great school-spirited, fighting team we have, how can Somerville fail to win the championship! So let's get out there and cheer a potential winner to victory!!! TRACK SCHEDULE Dec. 30 Belmont Jan. 6 Natick 13 B.A.A. Meet, Boston Garden 20 North Quincy 27 Watertown Feb. 3 State Meet, Boston Garden 10 Arlington Starting time is 12:00 noon at East Armory, Boston. Richard Hegarty, Head Coach Joseph Hrubi, Asst.

The officers of the Girls’ .thletic Associa- ti n elected last Spring are: Elaine De lano, President; Nancy Murray, Vice-President; Betty Glines, Treasurer; Merideth Tucker, Secretary; and Student Council Representa- tive, Joyce Lodico. Never before has there been such a stress on physical fitness. The officers and members of the G.A.A. both invite and urge all the girls of S.H.S. to participate in at least one athletic activity. Not only will you find friends by your membership but also you will be a part of a national campaign endeavoring to raise the standard of American physical fitness. BADMINTON The Badminton girls meet for the time- being, every Thursday and Monday afternoon in the gymnasium. It is supervised by Miss Snell, captained by Elaine Dellano, and man- aged by Sara Biarrio. BASKETBALL The girls’ basketball team, under the su- pervision of Miss Croy, meets every Tuesday and Wednesday in the gymnasium. During the winter season practices will be held. SWIMMING The swimming team meets every Thursday at the Y.M.C.A. and is coached by Miss Daley. It is captained by Donna Bcrel'a and man- aged by Dianne Blackall. BOWLING The bowling team meets every Monday at the Highland Bcwladrome under the direction of Miss Daley. The captain is Lucille Beva- lacqua and the manager is Dianne Joyce. YOUTH FITNESS The President’s Youth Fitness program has spotlighted teenage exercise and diet habits. It is said that the average Russian girl has more energy and stamina than an American boy of equal age. How many push- ups can you do before breakfast each morn- ing? And, what do you eat for breakfast? Do you have first-period droop? Does your backbone hold you up? Do you slouch in your seat and have to lean on your desk when you rise to recite? Can you lift your book, or is it too heavy ? If you’re a boy, can you do at least five pull-ups? forty-five sit-ups? six- feet seven-inch standing broad jump? two- minute eight-seconds six-hundred-yard run- walk? These are the minimums to be in good physical condition. Every boy should be able to do these. If you can’t, you’re in trouble, brother, and you’d better do something about it. If you’re a girl there are ten important nutrients you should have. They are: Vita- min A, Vitamin B, Riboflavin, Vitamin C, Vi- tamin D, Calcium, Iron, Protein, Fat, Carbo- hydrates. If you are net getting enough of these you are letting yourself in for a lot of trouble. Physical fitness and good health are im- portant and vital to us. At a recent confer- ence it was said by Mr. Edward Kennedy that “We will soon be able to build rockets that land on the moon, but we will be physically unfit to fly them.” So let’s get on the ball and back on the road to good health. Twenty SENIOR CHATTER 147 rings in once again (ding!!)—the room of ticket venders, dues collectors, book cover sellers—ticket buyers, dues payers, and book cover owners. We would like to hail Mary Donahue and Paula Caruso, our intelligent classmates, for receiving letters of commendation on their outstanding performance in the National Merit Scholarship Examination. Good luck, girls. We know success will be yours. Santa’s little helper has clued us in on a few of our gifts. Joyce Catanzano is getting a license (we hope!), Ann Maclsaac a vacu- um cleaner, and the entire room, with the exception of the “Max Credit Kid,” Susan Pescatore, a better report card. Meredith Tucker expects a new uniform, and Louise Mazyck an automatic, standing-up, “chum- my” chair. We all fear that, due to excessive- ness of talk, Miss Ayers is hoping for a new class. (Let’s hope she isn’t too disappointed.) Until Eddie Orsi has escaped from behind the “iron bars” and the entire room recovers from the shock of report cards, we’ll be see- ing you. Welcome again to room 149. We are all very busy this quarter trying to catch up with James Torres, who made credit. Joanne De- Souza and Peter Johnson, our bankers, are still chasing everyone for their bankbooks. John Cabral, our proctor, is still selling tick- ets, but has collected all of the class dues. Well, before we close for now just one re- minder—when you’re on the road watch out for our pre-drivers. Greetings from 254! We aren’t asking for any presents this Christmas but just the an- swers of the following questions: Who is Robert Cecca’s contact in the main- tenance department? What magic charm does a certain member of the Players’ Club possess to recruit members? Why is Peter Caruso always rushing into the homeroom period late? Who’s making the animal sounds during the sixth period ? Sources tell us that Frank Caferella and John Repetto are waiting diligently for the Players’ Club forthcoming play. Congratulations to Carol Rigazio for be- ing the only member of the class to make Credit. On the Credit List in 143 we find Laura Festa, Dorothy Howell, and Nancy Miller. Congratulations to James Curry who is a semi-finalist in the National Merit Qualifying Test. Betty Glines is treasurer of the G.A.A. and Barry Marshall, president of Key Club. Questions: What is Maria Filosi’s favorite subject? Who does George Stringos wait for every morning in front of our homeroom? Twenty-One Here is room 151 overflowing with Christ- mas spirit. Our class officers are: Carol Natale and Judy Crawford, treasurers, and FrancisScheri and Nancy Ray, proctors. Our Credit student is Carol Natale, and the class chatterbox is Donna Makepeace. The class clown is Cheryl Donaghue. Questions: Will Pam Donnaruma win her fame by telling sadist jokes? Why can’t Helen Manning wait for Christmas? Some questions have been bothering many members of 150. Who is John Bowen’s secret admirer? (He needs a mail-man all his own to deliver his secret letters.) Who is 150’s great comedian?—Ed Stachelski! Why is Richard Forest always so confused? Why does Peter Walsh find fascination in a certain girl ? Well, here we are back at 141 to fill you in on the news. We were glad to hear that Clem- ent Kaloyanides has been elected president of the Boys’ Glee Club. James Laurenza has successfully collected 100'« for the Red Cross. It seems we have an artist in our midst, for Kenny Burke is always in the Art Room. The talk around 141 has changed from football to basketball with Bobby Taylor who is a member of both teams. Room 102 is almost empty these days as so many have gone out to work full time for Christmas. The merry workers are Carol Brady, San- dra Coyle, Carol Cronin, Nancy Davis, Wil- liam Hanson, Teresa Lyons, June Merritt, John Morey, Marjorie Pickles, and Gordon Switzer. Room 102 is very cheery with Christmas decorations. Betty Latanzio is getting her hope chest for Christmas. We hear that Carol Brady is getting her diamond at Christmas. So till next issue room 102 wishes to one and all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Well, I guess the vote counting in room 241 was too late to make the last issue of the Ra- diator. We do now, however, know that Carol Napolitan is our proctor, Robert Crotty is our Asst. Proctor. Julio Antunis is our Red Cross representative. Peggy Donahue and Jo-Ann Icovitti are our Radiator reporters. Besides having our election returns we in room 241 have a game for all to play. May we ask how many of you wonderful subscrib- ers know the nicknames of your best friends? More than likely all of you do. But how many know the extra tags that have been placed on other members of your class? Below is a match-mate column test. Try your skill: (1) Charles Warner (2) Carol Napolitan (3) Robert Crotty (4) Jean Cotino (5) James MacAllister (a) Hot Rod (b) Sluggo (c) Rebel (d) Buddy (e) Tex You get an “A” in aptitudes if you have— 1-D, 2-C, 3-B, 4-A and 5-E. Room 252 sounding off! Elections were re- cently held and here are the results: best looking girl, Elvira Tenaglia; best looking boy, Walter Ross; class clown, Jackie Moun- tain ; best-dressed girl, Corrine Lemieux; class heartbreaker, George Kelly; most talk- ative girl, Cathy Culverhouse; most popular girl, Judy Knight; most popular boy, Jimmy Lally (well who’d you think??); shyest, Jim- my Quinn. Since last issue, report cards have come out and several pupils have made the Credit list. They are Elinor McLaughlin, Walter Ross, Marilyn Thumith, and Sandra Hallah. We have some important questions that must be answered. What was in that little box that Arthur brought to school last Fri- day ? Why is Jerry Gelezian buying a ticket to the F.T.A. dance when he’s still on crutch- es? Who’s the cute boy that carries Maureen Rogers’ books to Civics every day? Greetings from Room 250 again. We are proud to say that we have at least one per- son who made Credit — none other than Charles Cabral. Wish you would let us all in on your secret formula for success, Charles! Paula Ciccariello just recently made Junior Varsity of the Girls’ Basketball Team. There are still a few questions which haven’t been answered. What’s the main attraction in 206? Why is it Laureen Zega, Rosemarie Twenty-Two Srebnick and Diane Anzalone skip merrily to first and fifth periods? Why does Audrey Peak glisten every time she gets a letter from that “certain someone”? Iiello from Senior Bedlam 247. It seems U. S. History is the favorite subject of most of our inmates along with College Review Math. Clotilda deDominico gets a round of applause from the class for making Credit. Elaine Dellanno seems to be pretty active in G.A.A. One of our fellow patients, Sandra Grant, has a fetish about wearing a ring around her neck. Whose is it, Sandy? Our commercial course girls have a definite neurosis; they have to keep talking all the time. Paul McLaughlin is definitely a hypo- condriac. Nicky Chiofi has a persecution com- plex; he's always thinking someone else is getting him in trouble. That’s it until next issue. Hope to see you then. HEARD AROUND THE HALLS History teacher: “What’s a statesman?” S. Green: “A dead politician.” 4 4 A teacher wrote on a pupil’s report card as follows: “He is a good worker, but he talks too much.” The father wrote back: “Come sometime and meet his mother.” 4 4 Pete: “It’s hard to tell the young teachers from the pupils.” Ruth: “It’s a cinch. Just look into a class room and the person that’s awake is the teacher.” 4 4 Heaven sends us good meat but someone else sends the cook. 4 4 Mr. L.: “No animal can live on nothing.” Jim M.: “How about a moth! It eats holes.” 4 4 Dan K. to music teacher: “What do you think of my voice?” Miss S. (After listening): “It might come in handy at a fire.” Sophomore: “How many people work on the Radiator?” Jim C.: “About half the staff.” 4 4 Great mistakes from little study grow. 4 4 At the Prom: Leo: “Do you like to dance?” Mary: “Yes, I love to.” Leo: “Then why don't you.” 4 4 Dianne J.: You’re sure one bottle will cure a cold? Clerk: It must, lady; nobody has ever come back for a second! 4 4 A modern Florida newspaper has changed its column heading, “Births, Marriages, Deaths,” to “Yells, Bells, Knells.” If a certain person in Junior “A” published a column the heading would probably be, “Hatched, Matched, Snatched!” 4 4 Ruth: The poets say kisses are the language of love. Pete: Let’s have a nice chat. 4 4 Under the spreading chestnut tree, The village smithy squirms; He’s just been eating chestnuts— And they were full of worms. I cannot steal, I cannot lie, Indeed my sins amount to nought, Though candidly the reason why Is, I’m afraid of getting caught. 4 4 “I dote on oaks,” said the languishing maid, “So noble, so stately, though few; Tell me, now, Mr. Jones, what’s your favorite tree?” And he tenderly answered, “YEW.” 4 4 Paul M.: What proves a policeman has been vaccinated ? Paul W.: I don’t know. What? Paul M.: They never catch anything. Twenty-Three Season’s Greetings from room 25. It seems that we have a few students traveling about, incognito. They run by names such as Ding Dong, Ding-a-Ling and Rainbow. If any of you super-sleuths have a solution to these names, please send them to room 25 and don’t delay. We still want to know why Paula Ham- ilton is always late. Let’s hustle, Paula. Here we are again for another visit with the jolly members of room 29. You’ll find all of us very happy especially when we are engaged in our favorite amusement, the burn- ing of the chem lab. But during our relaxa- tion, a few questions have appeared. For example: who is the boy in Donna Thomp- son’s life and why does she kiss his ring dur- ing French class? Spiritual encouragement, Donna? Why don’t we ever see a boy named Wayne? Carol Anastas never stops talking about him. This reporter understands that someone thinks a lot of Gordon Norman. Who is she, Gordie? Season’s Greetings from the wacky room of 31. If you want to escape the realism and the monotony of life come to room 31. We have many interesting pupils. For example, love-sick Billy Burns has been trying to win a pretty young girl from neighboring home- room 24. The room would like to know the answers to the following questions: Who is Judy Martell’s secret boyfriend? Why does “Dakota” pass out toothpicks every morning? Why does Robert Romano, our class athlete, depend on Paul for his Latin homework? Does anyone know Pauline Giarratani’s boy- friend ? Hi! This is room 32 reporting. We hope you will be interested in knowing some of the most famous i eople in our room. First of all we have Tommy O’Brien, Bob Sylvester and Buddy Mahar, who are on our basketball team. George Shannon is on the track team; Danny Crowley is on the hockey team. Jim- my Meli has a broken jaw. How did it hap- pen, Jimmy? Why do Linda Benson and Elaine DeMille always act like the Three Stooges? Who is the 6-foot boy Cynthia Re stands with in the corridor ? Greetings from 221. A new basketball season is here again. We are represented by four able candidates: Alfred Pearson, Carl- ton Vining, Sam Greenwood and Robert Fer- rari. Sights-to-see: Robert Aylward’s ankle injury which he received in the Turkey Day contest; also Carlton Vining’s repertoire of yo-yo tricks and stunts. By the way, is Ar- thur Roderick really happy about Spanish books being passed out? Joanne Gregorio, Marsha Warren, and Wil- liam Bauld of room 232 made credit the first quarter. Congratulations! Our very own John Kirton made the basketball team. Memories, memories! Tom Pignitiello: “Hey, Louie, get the meatballs out of your mouth!!” Hello again from 234. “Tiny” McCambely and “Peanuts” Potterton are certainly two of the cutest girls in our room. It seems that Walter Spooner can’t make up his mind be- tween two of our lovely S.H.S. girls, Janet and Diane. Where is Robert Labbi getting all those bruises and bumps from? Could they be from those two sweet girls right in front of him? It seems that a few of Karen Mc- Cormack’s friends call her “Moose.” We won- der why since the name certainly doesn’t fit her. Hi there! This is Room 324. Congratula- tions to Mary Sweet for being chosen Red Cross representative, and to Carol Murphy for being voted Treasurer of the Junior Tri- Hi-Y. Also congratulations again to Mary Sweet for making credit for the first quarter. Can anyone find the answers to these baffling Twenty-Four questions? Why does Dicky Dumas always stare at the ceiling in Room 341? Who are the two girls in Room 324 who visited their local fortune teller? Why can’t Carolyn Moore wait until Friday to see a certain per- son? Why does Janet McCoy like ’61 Bonne- villes? Why is Mary Sweet so anxious to know why Louise Jones is coming to school later than usual? Does she wonder if it could be a boy? Why does Carol Bartolo look out of the door in second period every day ? Why does everyone think Joe Perneta is a romantic and gallant lover? Who does Mary Marshall talk to before second period every day? The answers to these questions will be greatly appreciated. Hi, from room 327. We have a few ques- tions which need cleaning up: What are Pat Madden and Madeline Bottari always talking about after lunch? Will Peter Ferola make the J.V. basketball team? What does it mean to balance an equation ? Who is our sweeper for this month ? Hi there! This is room 330 tuning in. First we would like to congratulate our officers for the fine job they are doing. We have as our bankers, Lorraine Carey and Deanna Maffeo. Our treasurer is Kathleen McLaughlin and our car checks are taken care of by John Pappcne. We also have Joseph Normile and Clifford Lamson representing 330 in the Stu- dent Patrol. Room 332 has some questions to be an- swered: Why is Karen Hiltz “In the middle cf a heartache?” What is the “Little Mouse” Leo is always talking about? Who ever heard of turtles named Janice and Bobby? Con- gratulations to Elaine Rizzo, Carol Mancine, Mary Kasznek, and Janice Vaughan for mak- ing credit. This is room 344 reporting in dismay that no one made credit this quarter. Here are quite a few questions that we are just dying to have answered: Why does Judy Pacine wait outside of room 321 every day at recess? Who always has a stack of paper you could hide in? Whose typewriter is always broken after typing class in 225? Why does Jimmy Capuano tease Charleene Ellis in every class? Who is 334’s “Problem Child?” Zoom! It’s the jet age kids from room 27 coming in for a landing once again. Although tears were flowing like a waterfall when re- port cards were given out, we still managed to have the only junior on maximum credit, Pauline Demetri; and Marilyn Cohen and Steve Saslow on credit. Our room is just loaded with spirit. Yelling faithfully for the “red and blue” are Maureen Cullinane, and Diane Blackall. If you need some advice on basketball just ask our old pro Edward Mac- kay, or if your problem is found in hockey, hunt up Steve (goal-getter) Saslow, who usu- ally can be found with a certain brunette. Among our famous names one finds James Cavanaugh, the silent editor of the Radiator, who is followed by his little group of staff members. For variety we offer Lorna Sam- way s, Dianne Joyce, Marilyn Cohen, Dianne Blackall, Judi Luchans, and Marsha Read who air out their lungs during each Glee Club rehearsal. Dianne Velardi is Portia’s representative to the Student Council. How- ever, all members of our class are fluent speakers, as our homeroom teacher will agree. There are some questions breaking through the sound barrier which have to be answered. What two English pupils are particularly fond cf the song “The Language of Love”? Why does Salvi Cavicchio wear a nameplate to a certain class? Who can translate Ray De Vellis’s handwriting? What girl is think- ing of publishing a book entitled “Why I Love Algebra”? What boy, who speaks French like a native, has been floating around in the clouds lately ? Is it because of a pretty Senior girl? What girl uses Indian sign lan- guage to express herself? Why does Emma Merola carry M.I.T. bookcovers around ? Who has been labeled a walking chatter-box and is said could out-talk Premier Khrushchev? And finally why are Dianne Blackall, Dianne Velardi, and Dianne Joyce looking for new names? Please relay all messages to room 27. Over and out! Twenty-Five SOPHOMORE CLASS CHATTER Christmas greetings from room 106. We are proud to have elected Russell Fig- ueria as our class proctor and Kevin Palmer as his assistant. We would like to know who “Mable” and “Miss Digilis” are. We cannot seem to locate them. The biology class is hopeful that a certain football player will bring enough choc- olate for everyone next time. The class is still grieving over the loss of Tony. He was last sighted in his bottle about a month ago. All hope has been given up and we believe he is dead. Among our classmates in 106, are some ex- cellent bulletin readers. The following books are expected to be best-sellers mighty soon. “The Longest Experiment, by Nancy Dona- hue and Janis Dydyulis, “The Fine Art of Casket Making,” by Michael Kupferman, and “Chinese Made Easy,” by Kathleen Albro, and finally, “How To Spend $1,000,000 in a Penitentiary,” written by Russell Figueria. Be sure to watch for these books. Now on a serious note, the entire class of 106 would like to express its deepest sym- pathy to Miss Stack, our English teacher, on the recent loss of her father. Hello again from room 109. We’d like to congratulate everyone who made credit and especially Joyce Weene, who topped the list by making Max. Does anyone know where she buys her brain food ? We sometimes won- der what became of the guppies she once had. There are certain questions being asked around 109 such as: Why is Sandra Hildreth always turning around in Latin class? Could it be she’s making eyes at a certain boy who sits behind Francis Fantasia? And where did Norma Lellis get that adorable sweater she’s wearing to school lately ? It must have come from someone pretty special. Does any- one know the girl Bobby Lodico talks to in French class. Hello! We reporters in 110 found out, from private sources, that Ray Corners was hurt when he didn’t find his name in the last issue, so here it is, Ray. Also, is there anyone who doesn’t know Ray’s secret love? Hint: She’s a cheerleader in 114. Did we mention your name enough, Ray ? Everyone will agree that Judy Trigledas is the funniest and sweetest girl in the room, so why is she so self-con- scious? 113 checking in! First we would like to welcome back our gridiron casualty, Frank Pisani, out for some time with a broken shoulder. Hint! Next time use shoulder pads. For certain people third period holds a certain attraction, and it’s not the Geometry. Kerry, Rosemarie, and Modonna seem to have other things on their minds as soon as they cross over the 354 thresholds. Why was Francis Goduti’s seat changed ? Do you know the answer, John ? Charles Ashley, 113’s own author, came to school one day with two different shoes on and gave the entire class a very rare Monday- morning-laugh. By the way, Charles’s new book has been delayed in publication for rea- sons beyond our control. Why is William Grace’s attention always focused towards the back of English class ? Is he another victim of the “woesome twosome” of 113’s cheerleader and majorette? Anita and Huey are still actively engaging in their 2:01 appointments, but lately Anita’s business entanglements have had preference over Huey’s companionship. Billy Baron’s and William Edgett’s antics are still holding strong, but Elaine Beucler and Earl Smedburg are winning a close sec- ond, keeping up with the fast pace. In third position are Susan Iappini and Kathy Kraus, our champion chatterboxes. Hi. This is room 349 signing in. Pretty Donna Watts is our class proctor. Twenty-Six Janet Marrano was the only one in our class who made credit. Congratulations, Janet! Janet, along with Christine Roy, is a member of Portia and Nancy Thompson, a member of the Girls' Glee Club. We wonder if Mary Olsen's friend, Ralph, is really a cat. Janet Veloza is our Red Cross representative. Why does everyone call her “Caesar and her followers “the Romans ? Hello. This is room 351 reporting again. Congratulations to Carol Mitrano, the only one who made credit in the class. We are sorry to say that our class treasurer Geral- dine Stack is in the hospital. We hope that she will recover quickly and return to school. We wonder who the boy is that added a glow in Esther Rapoza’s eyes. And who is the girl Arthur White is always talking about with Lois Cole ? Norma Richardson was elected secretary for the Sophomore Glee Club. Why does Norma go by 205 to get to the bank every morning? Hello from room 345. Richard Bariloni was our only football player and Frank Crotty our whole track team. Our proctor, Terry-Ellen LaPoint and Paul Gordon are our only brains. They made the Honor Roll. Our assistant proctor is Elizabeth Killoran. Don't worry, we have bankers, too—Virginia Burns and Yvonne Diagle. We have a few clowns, also. It seems Wy- cliffe Sanford and Robert Sheridan are always at it. Hello again from room 350. The first quar- ter report cards were given out and we are still recuperating. We regret to say that no- body made credit in our room, but we tried very hard. We still have that saying in mind, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again. We were very proud to receive a letter from the head of the bank, Miss Weisman, congrat- ulating us for being the only Sophomore class having 100% banking. We know that the one person helping to make this goal was our good friend and homeroom teacher, Mr. Berra. Hello from room 245. We are proud to an- nounce we have a member of the Junior Var- sity Basketball Team in our room, Clifford Gillis. Who cuts out paper dolls to amuse her- self during sixth period class? Why is Eddie Madeiros always looking for gum? Doesn’t he know you’re not supposed to chew gum in school ? Hello again! Here is Room 205 giving the up-to-the-minute report. Congratulations to Frances DiSarcina, our honor student. We know she is a hard worker and a fine student. We’re all proud of you, Frannie. Our praise also goes to Red Cross repre- sentative Judy Knowles. This girl has cer- tainly done a wonderful job handling our money! Thanks,Judy. Room 205 has four representatives from the new sophomore group of the Tri-Hi-Y: Joanne Bain, Jane Murphy, Jean Parker, and Vice-president, Judy Fritz. Books on the best seller list are: “How to Exterminate Salesmen,” by Larry DiCicco. “The Rise and Fall of Herman, by Bobby Piccolo. We the students of Room 205 wisely give the title of Prince Matchabelli to Walter Czmut. Merry Christmas! A great big HELLO from room 206! Here we are again with the latest flashes. Everyone in 206 wants to congratulate Mr. Joyce, who has been selected to head the Gen- eral Course. He was a wonderful homeroom teacher, and our best wishes go with him. Lorraine Perry did a marvelous job as our Red Cross representative. Academy Awards should be presented to Marsha Tiznadel, Mae Edgar, Robert Haro- tunian, Robert Santoro, William Mantzoukas, and Arthur Passero. For fifteen immortal minutes Christopher Columbus lived again! Our contribution to the science world: In training now for Cape Canaveral are several high-level “rocket scientists.” They practice each and every day by counting-down the seconds till the bell rings. Here we are again, Agnes Provenzano and Phyllis King, from room 114 reporting on all the latest happenings. First we would like to wish the best of luck to all the candidates for the basketball team and we hope they all succeed. We are still hunting for the other Twenty-Seven genius who received a “B” in English and we are sure there will be a great difference in marks (for the better) next quarter. We would like to congratulate Roberta El- liot who made Maximum Credit and Agnes Provenzano and Mary Roberts who made Credit. We would like to know why Sumner gladly gives his well-thought-out homework to San- dra. Everyone here feels privileged to be the only class having a gumdrop which freezes in Latin. We the under-rated sophomores would like to make a public announcement: we now can finally find our way through the enormous corridors of Somerville High. A-students, B-students, C-students, and friends, this is room 302 saying “hello” for the second time this year. We’re still all here after BLACK Friday, report card day. 302 might not have the smartest guys and gals but we sure are the most fun-loving. We’ve learned from experience that there is only one way to go from one floor to another and that's to walk. But we’re not complete fail- ures thanks to Michael MacDonough who has discovered a new way to go down. After all what else were bannisters made for! After elections in our room, we are happy to crown Richie Rozzarkos as “class clown.” The bank has accepted Mary Jane Morgan. Let’s hope she can add. Who is the yodeling sextet that goes to Miss Sweet every Tuesday first period? Is a romance blooming between Ines Amodeo and John Estrella? Why does James Carsino fall asleep in Ancient History class? Is it because he stays out too late at night or is he just bored? If anyone knows the answers to any of these questions please report to room 243. Our twirling majorettes are Roberta Davidson and Sandra Pappas. Our track star, Mary George, is our Red Cross representative. We are sure she will do an excellent job. Hello from room 354! Reporting to you is Eileen Tarpey. We have been waiting impa- tiently for the election returns. They are as follows: class clown, Nikki Karageorge; best looking girl and boy, James Primo and Pam- ela Adams,; best dressed boy and girl, James Lungo and Patricia Kelly; most talkative boy and girl, John Roderick and Marsha Sopas. Our class treasurers are Lynn Barrett and Marsha Sopas; class proctor is Patricia Kelly, and our Red Cross representative is Eileen Tarpey. 344 never has a dull moment because of its class clown, Janet Rollon. Hi from 204 with Donna Plaza reporting. In a recent election, Charles Caliri was unani- mously elected class clown; Ellen Tolstuk and Jeffry Smith, best-dressed; Phyllis Mancini, class flirt. It was a battling duel when Charles Caliri was voted class wolf; Phyllis McLellan, quietest girl; Donna Plaza, prettiest; Shirley Daley, most talkative. Shirley Daley and Judi Quimby are our class bankers. Season’s greetings from 209. Some of the gifts we have decided to ask for are a tiger for one of the girls and a razor for Thomas. Room 210 is just jumping with news of our class clown, Daniel Girone, who is always in some sort of trouble. We want to congratu- late our new Radiator reporter, Aurelia Di Giacomo, and Daniel Girone and Gilbert Mor- eira who are marching along with our band. Room 343 says, “It’s for the birds,” be- cause the home of Maureen O’Brien had a surprise visitor the night before Thanksgiv- ing. A mysterious intruder had a rendezvous with the O’Brien’s sixteen-pound turkey. P.S. The turkey which flew the coop is still A.W.O.L. Greetings from 352. We have chosen Charles Phillips and John Russell as class clowns; Linda Nocella and John Barro, best looking; Elaine Palumbo and Joseph Candi- liere, best dressers; Joan Garibotto and Ellen Regan, class worriers; Irene Marcotti and David Brown, most popular. Our class proc- tor is Ann Crowell. We want to thank Chris- tine Tobin for doing a very good job as our Junior Red Cress representative; and John Russell, John Mobilia and David Brown, who were accepted on the Student Patrol. Room 244 is preparing for take-off. The girl at the controls is Cathy Roche; the co- pilots are Daniel Martis and Gloria Foppiano, the two quietest people in the room. The pas- senger list includes: James Mayes, the author • Twenty-Eight of “How to be Quiet During Class”; Carol Joyce and Cathy Ward, the authors of “How to Study.” Our technicians are Gloria Foppi- ano, Red Cross representative; Cathy Roche, class proctor; and Wayne Parsons who is in charge of locking the lockers. We check to see if Fred Miano, Ronnie Luz, William Rose, and Daniel Martis are back from their daily walk at recess. 10- 9- meet you in the next issue— 2-1- blastoff! “IN MY OPINION ...” A column designed to provide an emotional and intellectual outlet for the student’s point of view on school affairs. This month the school cafeteria is under discussion. “CON” Patricia Doucette ’64 How would you like to eat your lunch in ten minutes and then rush to your next class? Well, this is the situation at our school. At eleven thirty-five our lunch period be- gins and we file to the cafeteria. By the time we acquire our lunch it is already eleven forty-five. Everyone tries to find a place at the tables. Most students do, but what about the rest? Well, they manage to find a place to sit but there isn’t enough room to eat without getting someone’s elbows in your face. The lunch period ends at exactly twelve o’clock and the warning bell rings at five to twelve, so you have only five or ten minutes to eat. The lunch consists of meat, potatoes, a vegetable, milk and dessert. The students, to enjoy their lunch, should take at least twenty minutes, but at our school we are al- lowed only ten, so the students have to swal- low their meals down in a hurry and rush to class before the last warning bell rings. This period should be longer so students are able to get their lunches and eat without having to run to their next class. “PRO” Robert Christino ’64 My third period is a study and I often have a lot of homework to catch up on. By the time the third period is over. I’m pretty well starved. At the first lunch shift, it is always pretty clean in the cafeteria and that makes it much mere pleasant to enjoy lunch. In line I wait to accumulate all the goodies that are on the menu and can’t wait to dive in. The hardest part of my lunch period is finding a seat. By the time I’m out of line everyone’s already grabbed a spot and if they’re friends of mine, then I’m in luck. The funny part of this school time schedule is that sometimes you haven’t got enough time and other times you wait outside your next period door and wait for the bell to ring. I never have any complaints when I’m in the school cafeteria because I’m too starved to find any fault and I enjoy my lunch to the fullest. SNOW DREAM Rosemarie Farina ’63 While sitting by the window I see the snow flakes fall Upon the sleeping flowers, Upon forgotten hours. This gracious gift of heaven Falls gently on the earth To cleanse the leaves of Fall, To cleanse the deeds of all. But some absorbed in self, Remain within their homes And lose this gift of light, And lose this grace so bright. While others filled with joy Await the soft snow flakes To stand amid white lace To stand amid God’s grace. Twenty-Nine HAVE YOU MET? EDWARD ORSI ’62 Math is the meat for Edward Orsi, a kookie kat, with a wild but sincere nature. Eddie digs, as you may have noticed, out of the or- dinary food, prepared by shapely, pleasant girls with unbleached hair. Aside from liking food, Eddie is Secretary of Science Club, a member of Webster, former business man- ager of the Radiator and treasurer of F.T.A. The latter two prove that Ed has a green thumb for money and to fill the goal of mak- ing more he would like to attend B.C. or the Catholic University of America as a math major. Good luck Ed, may you always have enough of whatever you want. (??!!) MIKE NISSENBAUM ’62 One of the favorite guys at dear old Somer- ville High is that handsome man with the brown eyes and dark brown hair, our own Mike Nissenbaum. This fellow loves Math, spends two-thirds of his time and allowance buying bagels and lux and spends the other one-third of his allowance on popular show tunes. He also borrows autobiographies from the library and manages to keep them out more than fourteen days. He is a member of National Honor, Student Patrol, and is a foot- ball hero. He dreams about dark-haired, dark-eyed girls with pleasing personalities. Sound like anyone you know? His plans for the future include studying medicine at B.U. and someday taking the Hippocratic Oath. We all wish him the best of luck. Paulo Giroux JOYCE CATANZANO ’62 Talkative Joyce Catanzano is a lover of hot fudge sundaes with the works, all types of boys, and adventure stories. She finances her love of hot fudge sundaes by working at Jordan Marsh as a servant of the public. In her spare time, Joyce is in Portia, Yearbook Staff, the Glee Clubs, National Honor Society, Student Council, and 1st Vice-President of F.T.A. Next year she has sealed her fate by her plans of emulating her former teachers by attending B.C. School of Education learn- ing how to instruct math. Good luck to Joyce and her future students. (Especially her fu- ture students.) PAULA GIROUX ’62 Just mention chicken salad sandwiches or cherry stone oysters and everybody knows we’re speaking of the girl with light brown hair and grey eyes, Paula Giroux. Paula is cool on political novels, English class, class- ical and jazz music, and boys, boys, boys. She is a member of Portia, the Yearbook Staff, T.C.A., the Glee Clubs; and is Vice-President of F.T.A. Next year this psuedo-sophisticat- ed, fun-luvin’ gal plans on gracing Emman- uel or Framingham State and majoring in English or Psychology. Best of luck from us all. Thirty HAVE YOU MET? JAMES LALLY ’62 Co-Captain James Lally of the Basketball team, member of baseball team, and Junior football player is quite a guy. He loves tur- key, sports books, and a certain girl with short blonde hair, blue eyes, a shapely figure, and an easy-going disposition. On Friday afternoons when Jim is running through the halls saying HI!, he is not rushing home to do his homework; he is rushing to his job at the First National in order to finance the courting of a certain female with blonde hair. In the future Jim plans on attending B.U. The best wishes of the school are extended to him in whatever he does. CHARLES ROSSELLI ’62 Civil engineering at Northeastern is a pos- sible future for Chickie Rosselli (as he is called by his many friends). With his brown hair, brown eyes and great sense of humor, Chickie attracts dark, mysterious-looking fe- males. Chick is chief of the Student Patrol, a member of Boys’ Glee Club, Webster and the Science Club, and Student Council. He eats Italian fried chicken, to keep his boyish figure, while reading historical war novels. Be on your guard as you stroll down the cor- ridors. Chick is always on the job. Good luck “Mr. Chief” in whatever you do! Susan Pescatore FERN LEEMAN ’62 This green-eyed female is considered one of the cutest girls roaming the corridors of our hallowed high school. She loves Chinese food, all types of music, history books, and a 5' 11 , sandy-haired hazel-eyed boy. In her spare time, besides holding down an office job, Fern is a member of S.H.S. Glee Club, Girls’ Glee Club, Student Council, a Radiator reporter and an officer in F.T.A. She plans on hearing wedding bells in the future with the same sandy-haired, hazel-eyed boy. With such a vivacious personality, warmth and drive, we all know that whatever Fern does, she will do well. Good luck, Fern. SUSAN PESCATORE ’62 Brilliant and cute is the best description for Sue Pescatore. Bubbly Sue loves to read light adventure stories and Russian novels translated into Latin—which incidentally is her favorite subject.

Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. — Longfellow How true, how true! If only the peoples and leaders of this world would remember Longfellow’s words. This world will crumble to dust and the things that make it up will disappear. The fruits of glory and fame will wither on the vine. But their souls will live on. They are accountable to a greater power than man for what they do. This is the jus- tice none escapes. Yet man forgets or wishes to forget this justice. He is unjust and unfair to his fellow man. He rides roughshod over the bodies of weaker men. He turns from the civilized way of the God-fearing man to the wiles of the primitive beast. Kill or be killed is his motto. Succeed or fail. In what? In what, I ask. The material benefits of the world, it is to fail in the eyes of the world and succeed in the eyes of God. It takes little backbone to submit to the traps of the world and become the great leader or boss. It takes more backbone to keep the high ideals and perhaps fail in this world and succeed in the next. In this time when it is fashionable to turn your back on dishonest dealings, it is hard to speak out against the multitude of the voices. Yet it is the more rewarding thing. For to slyly avoid incurring the public displeasure you may be lowering those high ideals which should be foremost in your mind, and letting yourself in for greater falls in the future. Speak up at injustice, don’t be afraid to fight “city hall”—“city hall” isn’t always right. It may seem a strange topic to speak about to “teen-agers,” I use this word for lack of a better one, but it is perhaps the most suitable. We are the “war-generation,” sons and daughters of men trained and regimented to obey orders without question. And we in a manner share this training. These men have been trained to follow blindly the orders of superiors. Are we doing the same? Are we ashamed to question? To think through all orders? Or do we follow blindly without thinking? I am inclined to think we do fol- low blindly the orders and example of a few. I believe we have allowed the minority to dic- tate the attitude of the majority. The individualists are laughed at and scorned, but in some senses they have pin- pointed the failing. Because of our unques- tioning following, people, dishonest and bold, have gained control of the government, and we have let them—or the present generation has. Therefore it is up to our generation to choose for ourselves, to built for ourselves and to clean for ourselves the government within which we live. We must throw off these blinders and discover for ourselves the truths which the present generation has thrown away. We must think and act for the betterment of each of us as an individual and therefore for the betterment of the society as a whole. Three THE BIG BAGS Kathleen Albro ’64 If there’s anything missing, it can be found in her pocketbook. Pocketbook? Who am I trying to kid! The pocketbooks of today resemble a variety of objects, chiefly horses’ feeding bags, least of all, the carrier of a girl’s personal and school necessities. Some could bear the school supplies for the city of Somerville; others could hold the kitchen sink, washing machine, and other appliances. Have you ever noticed what appears any- time from a girl’s pocketbook? The bare school necessities sighted are school books, a looseleaf notebook, the largest pen and pencils found anywhere, a hammer, a large stapler, gym suit and sneakers, many pairs of heavy gym socks, a lunch in the largest bag ever made, numerous paperbacked “ref- erence” books, an old newspaper, the largest ruler ever viewed, large geometry triangles, and other such necessities. The very scant personal objects found are cans of hair spray, rollers and bobby pins, a second pair of school shoes, hair brushes and combs (the very largest, of course), a gigantic mirror, safety pins galore, enough perfume for everyone, an immense make-up kit supplied with every conceivable gadget and toiletry, a bulky sweater, enough life savers for the whole world, gloves, mittens, hats, and scarfs for every occasion, a whole, big box of tissues, glasses for every outfit, jewelry designed for every class, and other scant necessities de- signed to hold her together for the whole day, including a wallet with every picture of anyone and everyone and enough money to start her own loan association. Various other items found are a telephone number book, records and albums, picture albums, groceries, magazines, clothes, shoes, souven- irs, and any other object not nailed down. So beware, people, for when a young lady approaches, you may lose everything you have. No one seems to care that little pocket- books have been out of style since last Octo- ber and when little pocketbooks do become the teenage style, manufacturers will become very rich, producing compact articles for that special style-setting young lady. TO A TYPEWRITER Diana Phillips ’61 With swiftness and grace, I handle with ease, Your backspace, your spacebar, and all of your keys. I insert my paper, get ready to go And place my hands always on the “Home Row. I never, oh never! dare to peek Unless it’s the letter “b” that I seek. I never leave you till the job is complete Oh, thank you, dear typewriter, my work is so neat! BE YOUR SELF Kathleen Albro ’664 In the United States one of our most out- standing rights is that of freedom of action, giving to all the right to do whatever they wish, within the law. The teens of today seem reluctant to take advantage of this most valuable right, which many people would give anything to possess. Each fears being styled as an oddball or a non-conformist if he fol- lows his individual abilities. Many prefer to cling to one or two close friends. Some, for classroom prestige, emulating the person who seems to be the most popular, become hemmed in or held back, due to insecurity and a lack of self-confidence. One may be sur- passing numerous outstanding talents to ac- quire close friends, traits that could even- tually lead to his ascent to a position of a popular leader. The person who pursues his own valuable characteristics is more admired and desired for a friend by all. Thus, a person must con- tribute individuality to all to keep friends. Each person who depends on a close friend exhibits excessive insecurity of achieving friends and admiration, by his own person- ality. The best road for a high school student to follow is not have exclusively one particular friend but to be able to mingle freely with all and to acquire many varied friends among everyone. In acquiring friends one must be able to offer companionship to all and to achieve this goal, one must follow a path of individuality in exercising his own particular abilities and talents. Associated with one particular person, one becomes hampered socially and intellectually. You lose your own identity and assume his identity. You halt pursuing your ideas and ideals and start following her ideals. You do Four not voice your opinions, but his ideas. Your ideals of today contribute toward forming the you of tomorrow. Associates will feel left out and unwanted and you may miss valuable opportunities to do exciting activities or to discover hidden talents. Ten years from now, you won't have your select friend to rely upon but will have to rely upon your own person- ality to get you places in the business world. Take advantage of all that the school cur- riculum and extracurricular activities offer in meeting new friends. To think and act in- dividually takes effort, time, and practice. By coupling yourself to one person you as- sume his likes, dislikes, friends, and enemies. In conclusion, many close friends are good to have, but only one close friend can form a dark wall restricting you from being an in- dividual. It was God’s will that you are you and not someone else, so make the best of what you have. Try being an individual so- cially and intellectually and you could be overwhelmed at the results. DON’T CHEAT Kathleen Albro ’64 Cheating appears to be steadily increas- ing in high schools as college applications ascend to towering heights. Should a fellow student turn in a cheater, even if he is a friend? Can a friend stop another from cheating? These are personal decisions everyone has to make at one time or another. To be caught and reported by fellow stu- dents is more impressive than to be spotted by a teacher you are trying to outwit. The fact that a classmate catches you reminds you that you are not. fooling fellow students you face daily, but only yourself. More people will respect you if you don’t cheat, but fail a test honestly. A strict system of super- vision during tests does not prevent cheat- ing for if someone is going to cheat, he will —more so, maybe—if somebody is breathing down his neck. He takes it as a challenge to be fulfilled. Often a cheater will show a genius I.Q. in the ways he figures out to cheat. Most could make A’s if they devoted the same amount of time to studying as they do to figuring out ingenious ways to cheat. Cheating is a calculated risk. The cheater is the loser in the long run and it’s up to him to cure himself. Don’t expose yourself to temptation. Leave your reference books at home. Sit far from those who tend to trade answers. Remember that it is the knowledge, not the grade, that counts in your future life, once you are out of school. It is not fair to the average student who studies every night and does all his home- work. A cheater may take the test, sitting near an exceptional student, and, after not having done any studying or homework, may acquire an excellent grade. Many do not real- ize that cheating is a sin and that the person who gives another an answer is equally at fault. Unfortunately, this disgraceful prac- tice is present even in the higher grades and sections. Cheaters occasionally make the honor roll when many students don’t because this is the best they can do without cheating. Remember, you aren’t fooling the boys and girls you face every day or, in some cases, you aren’t even fooling the teachers either. Every cheater should either go to his parents or to his teachers and tell them the truth about his marks. More people will admire you if you don’t cheat than if you cheat to impress your friends by achieving good marks dishonestly. THOUGHT Pam Kneeland ’62 My goal is like center of a maze. There are many entrances, Many pathways, many side roads To reach my destination. I may follow the easiest path And arrive before the others Only to sit and grow impatient. And wonder what I have missed Along the way; I may travel many side roads In search of a smoother way And fantasies of joy and rest That seem to beckon me And finally arrive to find that Everyone has come and gone, And I have wasted all my time away; Or I may take the bumpy narrow road. It will not be as easy Or as full of joy and peace As other roads, But it will lead me straight. And I will reach my destination Free from those dark feelings— Impatience and regret— And be contented at the center Of the maze—my goal. Five DETAILS Michael Kupferman '64 The thirty-three years Ira had spent as a Certified Public Accountant had taught him the importance of details. Details were his whole life. And now. as the train slowly pulled away from the station, he sat back and studied the details of his master plan for the last time. As he did, a satisfied smile crept across his lips. He looked upon the plan as his masterpiece. It was Ira Hovel’s blueprint of a perfect crime, Oh, he knew others had tried it before and failed; but, then, they didn’t have his training for details. He took out his pencil, and crossed out item one. It had been accomplished. Ira’s wife, Emily, and his mother-in-law, Bertha, had driven him to the station. Ira thought how fortunate he was to have a client in Chicago. Since he made this trip weekly, it would not seem unusual this time. He crossed off item number two. It, too, was a simple detail. All he had to do was to tell the conductor he should not be dis- turbed, no matter what. He made this clear by slipping the conductor a five-dollar bill. The third item was hardly more difficult. When the train reached St. Paul, Ira merely had to slip off without being seen. At the parking lot at St. Paul, where Ira was to get off, he would check off the fourth item. He had bought a second-hand car and had it parked at the station. The fifth item was the most challenging. It would be difficult, for Ira was a person who disliked violence. And since murder was a most violent crime, it would be hard for Ira. But what was he to do? Bertha was much too healthy and much too stubborn to die all by herself. Yes. Ira thought, item five would be easy enough if he did not get squeamish at the last moment. Everything would be downhill after that. Item six consisted of nothing more than driving to the airport and then at Dodeville catching the train which he had got off be- fore. Then he could relax. It would be fin- ished. “St. Paul!” the conductor yelled. Ira had time for the last detail. He took out his cigarette lighter and burned the plan. Ira stole off the train and made his way to the car. It was an old car, but it did the trick. Upon arriving at the house, he stood out- side Bertha’s window until he was sure that she was sleeping. When he was sure, he climbed into her window and started toward her. He tried to reach for her throat, but something was wrong! His arms would not move. As he started to move back, he stum- bled over a chair. Bertha woke up and saw his silhouette against the light of the moon. Her screams of “Murder! Murder! Murder!” pushed Ira out the window against his will. He had failed to accomplish the task. He ran to his car and jumped in. What else could go wrong, he thought. Then he found out. The car would not start. He had to get to the airport on time! He got out of his car and flagged another. He gave the driver a ten- dollar bill and told him to drive him to the aii-port. Everything was going smooth until the unplanned happened again. The car had a flat. After the tire was changed, he ar- rived at the airport without another mishap. But wait. What time was it? He did not know the time, but he knew it was too late, Six for he saw his plane just rising into the air. What now? Maybe there was another plane leaving soon? Again his luck changed, and there was. As he got on the train at Dode- ville, after uneventfully getting there by plane, he felt that he had failed like the com- mon criminal. When Ira reached his client’s office in Chi- cago, he went straight to the Accounting Office. There he was received by the execu- tive and told to call his wife. He knew what his wife wanted to tell him and hoped he would not give himself away. He placed a collect call to Emily. “Ira?” Emily asked. “Yes, dear,” Ira said. “Anything wrong?” “Oh, Ira, something terrible happened last night. A burglar broke into Mother’s room. She’s leaving!” “But I don’t understand,” Ira interrupted. “She’s afraid of being murdered,” said Emily. “It was the perfect crime, if it WAS ac- complished,” Emily added. “Yes,” Ira said, “a perfect crime.” HOW NOT TO GO ABOUT IT Joanne Gregorio ’6.3 “I’ll expect this composition to be at least five hundred words.” The English class ter- minated at the sound of the shrilling bell and my troubles began. Oh great! I usually get as far as a title and I’m stumped. I can picture myself now, racking my brains searching. Well, I might as well stop stalling and start thinking. Let’s see, maybe this Webster dic- tionary might help the cause. Paper: ten sheets should be sufficient. Wastepaper bas- ket: the object is to see how long it will take to fill it. My recipe of “How to Write a Composi- tion”: First Ingredient: Tranquility. If Linda, my ten-year-old sister, would stop per- sisting on having the TV so loud, “Top Cat” wouldn’t enter the subject matter. Second Ingredient: No distracting objects. That’s a laugh. There would be a possibility —if the clock weren’t staring me straight in the face, “time” wouldn’t enter my mind. Third Ingredient: Proper lighting. It is a scientific fact that without light it isn’t pos- sible to see. This 40-watt bulb is proving a scientific fact. Fourth Ingredient: Knowledge of subject. That’s a hint to start thinking. After exer- cising my mind for ten minutes, FOOD is the only tune-in. Gee, I’m hungiy. Wonder if there’s any pizza left? Ilm-m-m, this pizza is delicious. Getting back to business. My Fifth Ingre- dient is neatness. Well, it’s not my fault the tomato spilled on a few sheets of paper. The wastepaper basket now has some inmates. Sixth Ingredient: No disturbances. R-i-n-g. “Joanne, you have a telephone call.” (Beautiful!—I mean) “Gee, mom, you should have said I was too busy, working desperately.” “I doubt if you would have appreciated it. Would you like me to tell HIM to call back later?” “Of course not. What would he think?” Returning to the scene after a short con- versation. Good golly! It’s almost 11:00 o’clock. My hair isn’t set, I don’t know what to wear tomorrow, and I’m exhausted! It’s a good thing this composition isn’t due to- morrow. Maybe I’ll do better tomorrow night, when my mind will be a little clearer. TWO WORLDS Linda Di Bona ’64 As Jacob opened his eyes and adjusted them to the glaring white light, a sudden overwhelming fear grasped him and closing his eyes again he tried to erase from his mind what he had just seen. He lay quite still for several minutes seized with the familiar panic which settled in the pit of his stomach. It had happened before—many times before— and in just the same way yet it had never frightened poor Jacob quite so much. He had often woken up and pictured himself in strange surroundings but upon closing his eyes he would find himself back in his own room when he opened them. Now, however, as he opened his eyes, he was greeted by the same blinding light which he recognized as a large overhead bedlamp. Looking about Seven him he noticed that the room was small and scarcely furnished. Strangely enough, Jacob wasn't frightened any more. His eyes be- came accustomed to the white glare and he was sitting up in the high, narrow bed star- ing at the slightly ajar door on his left. A shadow appeared at the opening and a tall, thin-faced young man walked into the room. As the man came towards the bed, Jacob shrank away from him, trying to wipe the image from his mind, but there seemed no escape this time. The man was sitting on the edge of the bed and smiling placidly down at Jacob, who felt the panic grow inside him un- til it touched every inch of his trembling body. Then with a fear-struck cry he sprang from the bed and fell to the cold, wooden floor. Jacob could hear whispers above him as he opened his eyes and looked around he real- ized that the nightmare was over. He was back in his own bed with his dear wife Juli- ana and Doctor Whitney anxiously bending over him. He sighed heavily and taking Juli- ana’s hand in his own, he slowly began to ex- plain the strange dream. Doctor Whitney listened attentively for several minutes and then took out a bottle of little red pills and handed them to Juliana. She put the bottle on the table next to Jacob’s bed and after Doctor Whitney had given instructions about taking the pills, he and Juliana left the room. As Jacob lay there in bed, he thought how strange it was that the same dream returned so many times. He always woke up in that same little room but last night was the first time that strange man had appeared. No%v as he lay in his own bed it seemed that only a few hours has passed when he noticed through the window’ that it was nighttime. He reached over and swallowed a couple of pills from the bottle the doctor had left. In a few minutes he felt himself drifting off to sleep. Jacob was once again awakened by that blinding light and realized that he had drift- ed back into that other dreaded world. He had just begun to get up from the bed when he saw the thin-faced young man at the door. A low, harsh voice startled him as the ghostly figure began demanding rent money, saying that it was already two months overdue. Jacob was just about to answer his demands when the man turned and left the room, threatening to throw him out on the street where he found him” if the money wasn’t paid within the next couple of days. Jacob felt an urge to scream but then spotted that on his pillow was that same bottle of red pills. Somehow they had been carried over into this other world with him. Remembering that they had put him to sleep once before, he ran towards the bottle, put several pills into his mouth and fell onto the bed, sobbing. He woke up in a dark room and for a mo- ment feared that he had not yet escaped his nightmare. Then he heard Juliana’s voice behind the door. As she and Doctor Whitney walked into the room, they found Jacob in a cold sweat with the bottle of pills clutched tightly in his fist. A few' hours later Jacob found himself sitting up in his own bed with a nurse standing over him holding a syringe. “You’ll fall fast asleep in a few minutes and will feel much better when you wake up,” she said softly. A sudden fear seized him and leaning over, Jacob took a checkbook from his nighttable. lie wrote out a check for $200, hoping that it would cover the cost of a cheap hotel room for two months. He knew that if he fell asleep again he would meet that dreadful looking man demanding his rent money. We wrapped the check in the pill bottle knowing that it would be trans- ferred with him. He woke up just as he had expected; with a thin, lined face staring down at him. He made out the check to the man and found that he was paid for a month in advance. He took a few' pills from the bottle and swallowed them quickly. His mission had been accom- plished and there was no reason for his stay- ing any longer. Just before he fell asleep he realized that he would have to ask the doctor for some more pills, as the other bottle was almost running out. He needed those pills desperately. They were his only quick escape from this dreadful nightmare. A year had now passed and in that time Jacob had consumed over fifty bottles of those little red pills and had borrowed a con- siderable sum of money from the bank in order to pay the rent for the hotel room. He Eig t wondered how much longer he could go on before the pills began to take too strong ef- fect on him. He no longer knew in which world he was his real self and in which he was dreaming, he only knew that he was living two lives and that there was no way to stop it. By this time he had come to doubt the reality of Juliana’s world and was too frightened to find out the truth. He loved Juliana too much to find that her world was nothing but a lovely fantasy and that all his real life consisted of was that dirty, little hotel room. HORROR BELOW! Carol Puccini ’64 If there is one thing I would detest being it is most certainly a shoe. If you can con- ceive the dreadful life of a shoe you’ll know what I mean. I’ve invited a friend of mine named Gertrude to explain the horrors cf being a shoe. Now, here’s Gertrude the shoe. “Hello, I’rn Gertrude Pump, and I’m here to tell you about an average day in my life. So, I will now expose you to the horrors of it. “On a Saturday morning I’m taken from my extremely comfortable wire bed. Then I’m scuffed along the ground to the football game. Oh, those deplorable crowds! Have you ever been trampled on by fifteen people? Then there always manages to be a very nice lady beside me who, by some unfortunate accident, drenches me with some loathsome liquid called orangeade. “After this ordeal, my owner, a nice, nor- mal girl, is off to the nearest disaster area, commonly called a soda fountain. This is like going from the frying pan into the fire. It’s worse than the football game, I now get trampled on by thirty starving teenagers. When I am nearly trampled to extinction, it’s time to leave ‘the fire.’ “Home! What a marvelous place. Or is it? The minute I get in I’m cast off. What appreciation! Then I am suddenly hit with a dirty rag full of some greasy concoction that is used to give me luster. “After an adequate rest in my comfort- able rack, I’m off to a party. This is one of the most excruciating experiences a shoe can have. Oh, the horror of it! Dancing all night! Of course, it depends on whom my owner is dancing with. There are three types. The first is the exquisite dancer called the smooth type, he never steps on me. The second is a half-and-half dancer who sometimes steps on me, and the third is the I-want-to- push-him-over-the-cliff type, he can’t dance at all. This is the dangerous type. I have to be alert when this one is around. When this terrifying experience is over, the homeward trip is an overjoyous time, for I can now look forward to a peaceful night’s sleep in my in- describably comfortable wire bed. Now can you understand my reason for detesting to be a shoe? I would like to thank Gertrude for her excellent description of a day in the life of a shoe. TRIALS OF A BABY-SITTER Diana Phillips ’64 My cousin Pat stood at the front door, re- checking the intricate list of instructions she had so carefully given to me earlier. “Guess that’s all, she said at last as she opened the door to leave. “Don’t worry, Pat,” I said confidently. “The kids will be fine. I can handle them and be- sides, baby-sitting is a cinch. “I’m not worried, she replied with slight hesitation. Oh . . . don't forget Jamey’s cough medicine. “I won’t. You’d better hurry or you’re going to be late. I closed the door as the antiquated sedan pulled out of the driveway and glanced out of the kitchen window to make sure that everything was all right in the backyard. It was, for the time being anyway. Josie, Pat’s oldest daughter, and Sandy were amicably playing together in their sand- box. I stood there gazing, completely una- Nine ware of the fact that this tranquility would soon come to an end. Little Jamey from his playpen, however, quickly brought reality to my attention by means of an unearthly scream. It seems that I had unconsciously neglected the child by failing to give him a morsel of the chocolate cookie I had been munching. Quick thinking brought me to the conclu- sion that if I tried child psychology I would be able to convince Jamey to try a vanilla cookie instead. “Much easier on the laundry,” I thought. However, this eleven-month-old genius saw through my clever little scheme at once and remained unyielding. I managed barely to place a chocolate cookie into his big mouth before he had a chance to sound off. At that instant something came whirling through the door; it must have been Sandy, for suddenly she was standing, I mean drip- ping, in front of me, covered from head to toe with wet sand and water. “It’s not true,” I said to myself failing to fully absorb this droll situation. “I’m dreaming. No three- year-old child could do this, not even Sandy.” I found out soon enough that it wasn’t a dream and that Josie was the culprit. “Of all the nerve,” I thought, for there stood Josie, garden hose in hand, innocently com- ing through the kitchen door. “Get that hose out of this house!” I or- dered firmly. She obeyed hastily as I started towards her and cleverly darted out from beyond my reach. Bravely I went out into the yard to survey the disaster area. I held my breath as I caught sight of what had formerly been Pat’s flower garden and man- aged somehow not to scream. The place looked like the Sahara after a rainstorm. There was a layer of sand enveloping every- thing in sight, including Josie. “Why didn’t it work?” she asked in a perplexed tone. “Why didn’t what work?” I demanded. “I watered it just like Mommy waters her flowers,” she continued, “I used the hose just like she does, but the sand didn’t grow.” “Didn’t grow . . . the sand didn’t ... Oh no!” was all I could manager to say as I sank into an undignified gale of laughter. Josie and Sandy joined in also, unaware of any- thing comical, but hoping to escape punish- ment for their misdemeanor. It was impossible I soon discovered, to camouflage the destruction so there was noth- ing to do but forget about it until Pat found out. Hoping desperately that this occurrence was the last of my troubles, I, with the two girls close behind, proceeded into the house. Here we came upon Jamey, still munching peacefully on his cookie and to my relief completely out of mischief. “Thank goodness he hasn’t learned to walk yet,” I thought gleefully and began the tedious task of clean- ing the sand-laden girls. I emerged from this chore slightly irritated and more than slightly damp. It seems that three- and four-year-old girls are more fond of water fights than of taking baths; Josie and Sandy proved to be no exceptions. Of course they assumed that I too would be de- lighted to be included in their little “splash party” and did not hesitate to fling fistfulls of soap and water in my direction. To my relief, however, peace and quiet was finally restored when the last of the three urchins had been tucked (not without a great deal of difficulty) into bed. I wearily trudged down the stairs, a speci- men of fatigue and exhaustion, and with de- termined effort dropped into the nearest chair, which unfortunately was already oc- cupied by Sandy’s not so stuffed porcupine. “Yeow!!” I screamed with as much con- trol as possible under such painful circum- stances and vehemently hurled the despicable toy across the room. “Never again,” I mum- bled to myself just as the front door opened and Pat entered the room. “Never again.” “Hi,” she called as she seated herself on the sofa, just missing the problem porcupine. “Did Jamey and the girls behave? No trouble I hope.” “Trouble?” I asked angrily on the verge of losing my self-control. “Trouble? What ever gave you that idea? I told you before, Pat, baby-sitting’s a cinch!!” Ten NO JUSTICE Beverly Bendekgey ’64 It’s a Saturday night and you’ve just come home from a night out with the fellows. You turn on the television, just to see what’s on. Hmm! Interesting! So you decide to watch it. First things first, though! Into the kitchen you go for a snack. Just a light snack, you think. A big, tall glass of milk. Mmm, that chicken looks good, you think, standing in front of the open refrigerator. I might as well have a sandwich, or two. I wonder if there are any cookies. So it turns out that you march into the den with your light snack, which by now has grown to two chicken sandwiches, a hamburger, a dozen or two of cookies, potato chips (your little brother hid them behind the cookie jar hop- ing you wouldn’t find them), a dish of jello, ice cream awaiting you in the freezer, and finally a quart of milk. (You thought you might get thirsty and decided to save your- self some steps.) You place everything on the floor smack in front of the television. Ah, only missed the first half of the picture. You then console yourself with the thought it is only the first movie. By and by your ‘light snack’ disappears. Being only human, you begin to feel groggy after eating all that food, and you’re just about to fall asleep, lulled by the soft hum of the voices on TV when—suddenly—you hear a loud noise! Shocked, you wonder. Did a plane crash? What could it possibly have been? Then, when you finally regain your sense, you realize that it was just an adver- tisement on television. Gee, you reflect, that’s enough to scare someone out of ten years’ growth. Being thus shocked into consciousness, you apply more attention to the television. “Great Garloo—the Monster. YOU can control him!” Good Heavens, you think, what do I want with a monster? Then the picture finally re- turns. Just as you are beginning to under- stand what occurred during your temporary visit to the world of the subconscious, there is another advertisement. “Falcon,” the an- nouncer shouts,” the lowest priced car in its field.” What do you care how low it’s priced? You still couldn’t afford to get one if it cost half as much! Then it’s over. At least, you thought it was, for right after it is another one. “Baby walks, talks, and cries!” ex- claimed the little girl on television. That’s supposed to be a doll? You question yourself. Just let my kid sister see that and she’ll be yelling all day and night, “I want that doll! I want that doll!” I can just see her now. Oh, no! Then once more you try to concentrate on the screen. The picture! It has actually re- turned! Gee, you think. I’m getting hungry again. Then you hear a voice that’s not coming from the television, and you realize it is your mother. “Is that you, son?” she calls to you. “Go to sleep. It’s late.” “Sure, Ma,” you reply, “just as soon as I get something to eat.” Gee, I wonder if there are any more cookies. AUNT MARY CAME HOME! James F. Silva ’64 “Is that Aunt Mary?” I questioned, point- ing to an old portrait hanging in the alcove. “Yes, it is,” answered my grandfather who seemed surprised at my inquiry. I was amazed by her profound and fasci- nating beauty, especially since I had heard so many grotesque rumors and tales concern- ing her. I was captivated by her enticing appearance of elegance and gracefulness. “It’s beginning to rain so I had better close the patio windows,” said grandfather. “When I return I’ll tell you about her,” he continued. As he left, I remembered the family legend about my Aunt Mary. Aunt Mary had lived during colonial times in a small Massachu- setts hamlet, Prides’ Crossing. She was an independent woman of true pioneer fervor. Although she was strikingly beautiful and had many a proposal of marriage, she re- mained alone in the world and preferred a life of seclusion. Being a spinster, Aunt Mary kept many pets, particularly cats, to which she frequently talked, to relieve the boredom and solitude of her clandestine life. Needless to say, her actions provoked much talk and skepticism on behalf of the towns- people. Because she remained aloof from Eleven town society, she became a focalpoint of rumor and gossip. During the era of the infamous Salem Witch Trials, Prides' Crossing became a prominent center of persecution. Many a dramatic trial took place here. The penalties were holocaustic. The stench of burning flesh filled the air and swaying corpses adorned the trees. With one swift, strong swing of the executioner’s ax many a head was brought to a final resting place. By the consensus of the town gentry Aunt Mary was declared a witch and was to have been beheaded. On the day of her scheduled decapitation Aunt Mary had vanished. This mystery was compounded by the disappear- ance of the local executioner. The townfolk were shocked by these dis- coveries. What truly happened was the sub- ject of vehement speculation. To this day many people contend that the two spirits perpetually fought one another. Others be- lieve that the executioner’s ghost beheaded my aunt’s spirit. There was a shrill tapping upon the win- dow pane too strong for rain. As I turned around I discovered to my horror-filled aston- ishment that a feminine figure drapped in a fluttering white gown stood outside the window. Her entire glowing form was as pure and as white as alabaster. Yet, one im- perfection marred her beauty — her head, which she carefully balanced between her two lily-white hands. A serene smile of sublime satisfaction graced her face. She vanished in an instant. Indeed, Aunt Mary came home! LOST DREAM Diana Phillips ’64 Celeste sat languidly on the stairs of the rundown tenament building, her long black hair swirling gently as a cool zephyr blew around her. She was deep in thought, yet her eyes ran scrutinizingly over the surround- ing buildings. There was an aura of un- pleasantness around her and although she had lived in this same overpopulated, almost slum neighborhood all of her life, she viewed the scene before her with a contempt she had never felt before. She thought of her parents. They had al- ways done everything they could with what little they had to make her happy. Of foreign birth, they had found it difficult to adjust to the ways of a new country but they were good people and worked hard for Rickey and Celeste. She loved them both. No, it wasn’t their fault, not anyone’s fault. It was just something that had been building up inside her for a long time—so long that she hadn’t even known what was happening. But she knew now. Perhaps these myriads of thoughts had been aroused in Celeste by the feeling of un- easiness she had experienced in the past three days. Why, she kept asking herself must she go through this agony of indeci- sion? After all it wasn’t her fault that her younger brother Rickey was frail and sickly or that he had spent a good deal of the winter in the hospital. Her eyes grew misty, how- ever, and a chill ran through her as she thought of that day two months ago when Rickey had almost------. Oh, how could she deprive him of a summer in the country away from all the dismalness of this wretched city ? It would be so wonderful for him to be able to roam the rambling hills at the boys' camp, to get to know other youngsters like himself, to breathe clean, fresh air instead of the contaminating soot of the city. Celeste knew, however, that he could do none of these things. There just wasn’t enough money. Rickey’s doctors had been so expen- sive and there was nothing left, nothing ex- cept—Celeste cringed. She knew where there was enough money to send Rickey to camp; Tw«lv« she knew and her parents knew, yet they said nothing. She had known from the be- ginning but she wouldn’t let herself think about it. Something else would turn up, she kept thinking, but nothing else did turn up. Her contemplation wandered from Rickey to herself and she thought about how won- derful it would be this summer when she would finally get her chance. For years she had scrimped and saved, worked diligently after school wherever she could, saved every penny so that some day she could go to art school. This had been her dream ever since early childhood when her unusual art talent had first been acknowledged. She was a true artist and she loved painting more than any- thing else in the world. Her mother under- stood her feeling and had never asked Ce- leste to give up her long awaited opportunity for Rickey’s sake. Still Celeste felt a pang of guilt as she stared at the letter in her hand. She knew what her father thought. She could feel it in his glance; his cold, al- most compassionate, look of disappointment constantly haunted her. She recollected his beseeching words as she had filled out her application to art school and sealed it in the envelope now contained in her hand. “Why don’t you put it off for awhile, Celeste?” he had asked stiffly. “There’s al- ways next year.” She had hesitated for a moment but her mind was made up. “I’ll be back in a minute. I’m going to mail this.” She had turned abruptly and run out the door. Celeste stood up slowly. She had been sit- ting there for almost an hour. She knew she’d better go in or they’d start worrying. She lingered outside of the entrance to the small apartment then went in. Her father sat passively at the table before her, his eyes glued to a conspicuous mark of imper- fection on its surface. Celeste dropped the letter of application gently in front of him. “I’m not going,” she said softly. “You sure?” he asked. He knew well of his daughter’s intense desire to pursue her career and how much of a sacrifice it would be for her to give up her cherished dream. “I'm sure.” Her father enclosed her hand in his. “Rickey needs to go to camp. It’s more important,” she continued. “I don’t mind, really. For me there’s always next year.” INCIDENT Linda DiBona ’64 It was near the end of the summer, one of those few, bright, wonderful days just be- tween the last summer day and the first crisp day of autumn. Had I been able to anticipate the incidents of the day, perhaps I never would have opened my eyes that morning, but being the brave and unsuspecting soul that I am, I ventured out into the clear morn- ing air to make a 9:30 A.M. appointment. Before I go into details, however, I believe that I should warn you that this is not for skeptical minds, but perhaps if I relate my strange little tale to you, you may be a little less disbelieving. As I said. I was rushing to make an early morning appointment and was quite the un- suspecting “victim.” About ten minutes or so after my departure, the fact that I had completely omitted breakfast was brought suddenly and quite rudely to my knowledge by a persistent gnawing sensation in my stomach. I ignored it for a while, but finally gave in and slipped into the restaurant that I happened to be in front of. (I often think that my stopping right in front of that res- taurant was a pretty “sneaky” act of fate.) It was certainly a pleasant enough place to eat, in fact, so pleasant that I was tempted into ordering a fairly large meal despite my limited time. Now that I think of it, there wasn’t an- other soul in the whole restaurant besides the waiter, me, and of course that odd little man at the other table. I had almost finished my meal when the man I just spoke of came over to my table to borrow the sugar bowl. As he walked back to his seat, I studied him closely. A very large hat was pulled tightly over his small round face. His ears stuck out, and from under his earlobes peeked a couple of strands of white hair. It was im- possible not to notice his hands when he reached for the sugar. They must have been Thirteen a size fifteen! I suppose he saw me staring at him, and that brought on the most ridicu- lous part of all. Trying to be friendly, I suppose, he smiled at me across the table, lie would have made a wonderful advertise- ment for Ipana toothpaste because when he smiled his small, tightly-drawn mouth stretched from one enormous ear to the other! Well, at this point, I didn’t know whether to laugh at him or turn pale. I be- lieve, however, that I turned a striking shade of pale green when he got up and started towards me once again. He had a cup of coffee in his hand and he asked me if he might sit down and talk with me. I would have answered him only my vocal chords didn’t seem to be working properly. So I simply sat speechless staring at him. But please, don’t begin to think that this was all that was odd about this little man, for the best part is yet to come. He began to unbutton his jacket, and I felt that I might faint when I saw one hand reach for the coffee cup and one for the cream, while two more were lying placidly in his lap. I needed no encouragement to dash out of that place, but had 1 left a mo- ment earlier, I would have missed an even better surprise. When he saw me rise to leave, he took off his hat and bowed his round flat head. I don’t know what kept me from screaming when I saw his three eyes staring at me like three huge purple saucers! I dart- ed out and didn’t stop to think (lest I might remember) until I had reached my destina- tion. A few minutes later, I was standing in an open field, out of breath and shivering. Fin- ally a friend reached me. I told her nothing about the incident, for I think she would not have approved of my explorations. Before I stepped into the ship, I took one long look at her and thought how glad I was to be able to look upon one of my own kind, Yes, there was Beatrice with her one beauti- ful brown eye placed like a star in her fore- head and all five hands. It certainly was a relief. I then boarded the spaceship and with trusty Beatrice at the controls, we went soar- ing away, back to Venus, where I belong. FOR LOVE OF FREEDOM Pauline Demetri ’63 “By the rude bridge that arched the flood, their flag to April’s breeze unfurled.” The words echoed through my mind as I sat be- hind the huge machine-gun waiting for the commander’s order to fire. Now, it was I instead of they who was fighting for that cause, that cause which made our forefathers forget their families and jobs and take up arms against their foes. Once again our freedom was being threat- ened, and once again we were fighting to save it. Young boys and old men each on guard, watching and waiting for an advance by the enemy. The darkness of the night seemed to muffle all sounds and the heavy breathing of my comrade was the only sign of life I heard. The enemy, this time, was not a bunch of brave Red-coats, but a much advanced and skilled world of strangers. World of stran- gers? Yes, strangers. These creatures, for I would not call them men, were from a near- by planet called Xenon. They were extremely thin with long spindly arms and legs, but their weapons could destroy thousands of men with one shot. Their king, Namron, as they called him, has the uncanny power of being able to read men’s minds, thereby learn- ing anything he wants. But, we, too, are well advanced in science. We have the inter-planetary television which can pick up life from other planets and broad- cast it on huge television screens throughout the country. We also have the Krypton Fourtee i bomb equal to one thousand megatons and atomic bullets which have the power of the old, out-dated atomic bomb. We have flying tanks and hydro-nuclear submarines which go faster than the speed of sound. So you see, we are a gcod match for these space creatures. Now, you may ask, “What brought about this war?” Well, that’s kind of hard to an- swer. Just as any war starts with bad rela- tions between rulers and constant aggression by one country or another, so this war be- gan. Our leader and Namron never got along. All their peace talks failed and their meet- ings ended in squabbles. Then the decisive blow! Namron wanted possession of our only planet, the moon. He first tried to win over the people by propaganda. Then, he tried open attack. Thus the war began, and I want so much to see us win. I feel so tense and nervous. I don’t think I can stand it. Wait! I thought I heard something. There it is again! Suddenly, the command, “Fire!” The atomic bullets zoomed from my gun and and seemed to shake the entire earth as they fell. The fighting went on for hours. I wanted so much to see the enemy destroyed and free- dom once again attained. I grabbed my gun and ran towards the enemies’ line shooting as fast as I could. Suddenly, something struck me. I reeled and fell, the blood pour- ing out of my side. “No, I can’t die now! I will never see who wins! I will never see freedom restored! No! No-o-o-o-o! MONEY WITH WINGS Kathy Marzullo ’62 Some people keep accounts. They like to know Exactly where the dimes and dollars go. I wonder why ? The thing I’m keen on knowing Is how to keep the stuff from going A penny here, a penny there. I try to spend them with the greatest care. But they slip through my fingers one by one, Until my bank account is done. Some people keep accounts. I wonder why ? ALL ABOUT LITTLE SISTERS Janice DiNocco ’63 Little sisters are the nicest things that could happen to people. Whether born on a cold and snowy day in December or a warm and sunny day in May, little sister always manages to get her own way. She can jitter around, stomp, make funny noises that fraz- zle your nerves, yet when you open your mouth there she stands with that special look in her eyes! To make little sister, God used the song of a bird, the stubbornness of a mule, the alacrity of a grasshopper, the curiosity of a cat, the slyness of a fox, the softness of a kitten, and on top of all that— the mysterious mind of a woman. Little sister likes new shoes, party dresses, small animals, the girl next door, dolls, ice cream, coloring books, makeup, my model airplanes, tea parties and One Boy. She doesn’t care so much for large dogs, hand- me-downs, straight chairs or staying in the front yard. She is at her loudest when you do your homework, at her busiest at bedtime and at her quietest when you want her to do you a favor. Who else can cause you so much irritation, joy and embarrassment? Yes, perhaps little sister can sometimes be almost a nuisance or a noisy bundle of mischief. But when your dreams tumble down and the world is a mess —when it seems you are pretty much of a fool after all—she can make you a “KING” when she climbs upon your knees and whis- pers, “You’re the most wonderful brother in the whole world!” Fifteen OBLIVION Linda Grossman ’64 The bleak light from the passing stars broke the dreary, dismal darkness shining in through the tiny porthole through which I gazed at the infinite universe. The anguish which I have endured these limitless days has not only devastated my mind, but also my soul. As my cubicle listlessly moves in its pre- destined path through space, I can only rem- inisce of the life which is now only a mem- ory, even more likely, a figment of my tor- mented mind. In a far corner of my mem- ory lies a faded recollection of my wife and child, but the thought of the blast-off de- stroys all the thoughts of the priceless joys which we shared. Now time is but an endless road in the night. What have I done to de- serve such misery? It is said “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.” Oh dear God, I am waiting for you to put an end to my endless agony. It is not death that I fear but life. My only hope is that this is a hellish nightmare, and I am safe at home on heavenly earth. Maybe I am insane and imagining this ungodly tor- ment. If anyone or anything can hear my plea, beg the good Lord to bestow upon me welcome death, and let my soul rest in peace. LOST AND FOUND Catherine Culverhouse ’62 Now, before my little sister gets hold of my new scarf I’ll hide it in a secret spot where she will never find it. Let me see, where shall I hide it? In the closet between my dresses and skirts? No, it might fall down. How about in the bureau drawer? Yes, the bottom drawer underneath my sweaters. But no, she wears my sweaters, too. Where am I going to hide it? I’ve got it. I’ll hide it behind the window drapes in my bedroom. She’ll never find it there. My little sister is quite cross with me for not letting her use my new scarf. She has searched high and low for it, but so far has been unsuccessful in finding it. I won’t be using the scarf for a few days, so I’ll just leave it where it is until I need it. Now that it is getting colder I think I’ll wear my new scarf. Let me see, where did I put it? Is it in my dresser? No, not in my dresser. Well then it must be in my closet. But it isn’t in my closet so my little sister must have it. I ask her and she says she hasn’t got it either. She says I hid it so that she couldn’t find it. Oh, what did I ever do with that thing? I know it’s around here someplace! But where ? I guess I’ll have to start combing the bed- room. I’ll begin with the bureaus. It’s not under my sweaters or socks, it’s not on my blouses or slacks, and it’s not in with my skirts. Maybe it’s in the closet behind one of my dresses. No, not a sign of it anywhere! Looks like I’ll have to use my old scarf for the time being. So what happens ? I use my old scarf all winter long and then as soon as spring comes and my room gets stuffy I open the window. What’s that behind the window drapes ? Of course, my new scarf! Could that be my reward for being selfish? LORRAINE Diana Phillips ’64 Her eyes of blue so shiny bright Are happy and delightful. Her actions showing strength and might Are sometimes downright frightful. Though small in size and young in years And bold in all directions She’ll comfort you through want and tears And steal all your affections. This tiny girl so kind and sweet Though sometimes misbehaving No other like her will you meet Her friendship is worth saving. Her talents rare, without a doubt Are really very many, Her laugh is much more like a shout Her cry is unlike any. Her own way she must always get Or else there’ll be a battle And then when she begins to fret It’s time to get the paddle. But really she’s a little doll Who you’d be proud to know, A cheerful friend to one and all And we all love her so!

We are all proud of Michael Nissenbaum who recently was given a Brotherhood Award by the Jewish War Veterans. Michael repre- sented Somerville High School at a breakfast held in honor of Brotherhood Week. A few questions are being buzzed around 147 lately. Why is there a new bulletin read- ing procedure in 147? Who always wears a red hunting jacket? (And what does he hunt?) What special feeling is emanated in trig, class? (Is it E. S. P.?) And last but not least, what is a “silly” offense slip? Since this is the last issue, we want to make our homeroom will. To room 147 we leave the “spots” on the ceiling which add distinction to our room, a book on how to get a basket for next year’s rubbish shooting experts, an air conditioner to blow out the “hot-air” we’ve given off during recess, and the peace and quiet that Miss Ayers has searched for all year! We hope that next year’s class will have as much fun and pleasure as we do! What room 154 really wants to know is where did Sully receive his compass cut? It points, north, south, east, and west!

P.S. — Does anybody know how Lucille Bevelacqua of room 141 has become a student in the Office Machine class of Miss Mullany with all the students of room 241? Greetings, this is 247 inviting you to come along with us on a guided tour of our con- tented classroom. Upon entering you hear Miss Canavan diligently chanting her favorite song, “Miss Raymond,” while a guest of wind almost knocks you over as our “early birds” Mary Ann Sirmos, Barbara Grace, and Nancy rush in to their seats as the 8:30 bell sounds. Glancing around you notice our two thriving establishments—Niki’s Beauty Salon, where Joe DiCaro frequently has his nails painted a luminous pink and Silver’s Luncheonette, which helps hold our “bouncing” pixie. Jcanie Thomas, over until the third lunch shift. Throughout the course of the day you begin to wonder what (or should I say who!) makes Tony Tassinari late for homeroom period, why Betty Crocker failed her vocabulary test, and how Teddy became Red Cross rep- resentative by giving blood. After leaving us you admire both Phil Mc- Adam’s generosity in bequeathing his bas- ketball sneakers to “Mr. Modesty” and John Fiore’s great loyalty to our room—so great that he stays here mostly every day until 2:45! Hello from 249. First we would like to thank the English teachers, especially ours, namely Miss O’Brien for taking us to see the splendid play, Romeo and Juliet. From the ivy vine some questions to be answered. Why doesn’t Sandra Grant wear that ring around her neck anymore and why didn’t Ann Baci- galupa have a happy Christmas? Some little tidbits of information are: Joe Lauria wants to be a “ham,” Diane Donovan stays home when Luigi Bitteralli drives to school, our “big boy” David Carita is plan- ning on bringing his own large personal size desk and chair; Janet Nadile is a “chatter peeker.” Greetings from Room 250. “Attention” all motorists, pedestrians, and unfortunate in- nocent by-standers, two more women (driv- ers?) on the read, Janet Buscanera and Diane Anzalone. But with all kidding aside, con- gratulations girls! Audrey Peak, was bristl- ing with news of her trip to Washington and also Top Secrets from the Pentagon.

Why does Jce Tanner like hats with fur? Greetings from 252! Here we are again trying to get some of our mysterious ques- tions answered. Why does Maureen Rogers always shoot her little airplanes in Chucky Shepherd’s direction ? We’re wondering what little messages are inside. Who's Frank Molinari’s secret lover in Math class? (Hint! she sits in the first row.) Have you guessed what Arthur Fundeklian had in that little box, yet? If you haven’t, watch this space, for we might tell you next issue, if he let’s us print it. We would like to congratulate Jim Lally and Eddie Harrington on the great work they’ve done for our basketball team; and also Jimmy Quinn and Jackie Mountain for their efforts in hockey.

Miss Stack has had some success in controlling us. There are still a few rebels, but thanks to the preseverance of Miss Stack they are repenting their sins. All in all we will remember the second quarter; most of us will even have pleasant memories. Well here we are again—Mr. Thornton's jolly troop from room 27. Do you want to know a few facts concerning us and our lovely surroundings? First, we welcome back Ray De Vellis minus appendix. During his long absence we really missed his shining little face. Why has homeroom seat 21 become so popular all of a sudden? Could it be be- cause of its occupant? Now that the Glee Club Concert is over, we wonder what Lorna Samways is still singing about; perhaps that special acquaintance of hers has something to do with it. Peter Panchy has blazed a trail to the Guidance Office. He really is a pioneer because he also has a special route to a certain senior homeroom. What insti- tute of higher learning does Emma Merolla like best and why does Diane Joyce have a special place in her heart, not only for S.H.S., but also for Trade Schools? What does Mr. Berra have against Steve Saslow and hockey games? Why does Ruth Starrat blush when- ever the booklet “Words are Important” is mentioned? Why does Frenchman Eddie Mackey love school ? Perhaps a special senior has something to do with it. We beg of Mau- reen Cullinane not to bang her desk-cover so hard every day. Are those tests really that hard, Maureen? Who does Judi Luchans con- sider the best scholar in the world? Why do Jim Orlando and Frank Pacini love the mu- sical arts and what boy simply adores the Chemistry pigeon? Until our next report comes this way, we hope we won’t be killed by cur portable desks. If you are lucky enough to wander by room 29 you will see and hear some strange things. Ronnie Champoux and Larry Elliott are re- hearsing their new duet. Tony Saitta is be- ing treated for food poisoning by our future nurses and many first aid students. Reason ? He ate one of those submarine sandwiches he tries to sell. Eddie King is building model boats while Robert Dukas goes around the room telling fishy stories. Ron Munroe is reading a book by Jules Verne. He’ll be fin- ished soon, or at least he should be—he’s been at it since September! Greetings from room 221. We are proud to announce we have some celebrities in our midst. Robert Aylward has been elected the co-captain of our football team for the com- ing year and Alfred Pearson has been elected the captain of the basketball team for the next season. David Malozi has filled the posi- tion of goalie on our hockey team. Congratu- lations to all of these boys. Our best hopes and wishes for the speedy recovery of Kevin Tobin. Francine Correnti has maintained honor for 232 by making credit. Has anyone no- ticed: Bill Bauld is feeling his “Wheaties”? Nancy Harrold was on time twice this last quarter? Torn Pigmatiello has found a “Dilly” for himself? Frank Leccese, Tony Mingoleli, Twtnty and Paul Kelly are continuously talking about cars ? Hello again, this is 234, You'll see these bright faces as you walk in the door. Janet Khoury, one of our favorite gals, Is usually surrounded by lots of her pals, Maria and Karen, who handle the “dough Gail Perry, Pat Cogan, all say “Hello”! Kathy and Janice who make so much noise, Ccsmo and Wally, a few of the “boys,” Peggy Mitrano, our nuttiest girl, Kathy Viera, who’s sporting a pearl There's Francine, Mark, Barbara, Elaine, John, Bob, Nancy, Irene, and Lorraine You’ve met all the members, there’s no more to tell, So from 234, goodbye and farewell! Hi from room 329, this is your Radiator reporter with some hot news. If anyone wishes to contact John Burns, he can usually be found on the basement floor of the east building with a certain girl named Linda. Why do the gruesome twosome, namely, George Crowell and Thomas Cabral always rush to their first period class. Lately we have seen Lorraine walking around in a daze, could it be because of a certain soldier? Rosalie Marino and Eileen McCarthy always hurry out of the homeroom to collect the at- tendance notices. What do you girls do on the way? Donald Parilia and line “Write me a note, are quite well known. Jane Russo is still working on her novel “George, My First, Last, and Only Love. If anyone wants a ride to school any morning see Kevin, “promise breaker,” White. Hi from room 331. Well it’s almost time for proms and parties. In fourteen weeks the seniors will leave the Halls of Knowledge, Somerville High. We are very sorry our school will not be represented in the Tech Tournament this year. We would still like to congratulate the team for their good try. That brilliant and well-liked scholar, Philip Arsenault has just finished a book entitled “How to Be Well-Mannered.” Is Harry Cohen sick or is he just in love? Greetings from room 332. Some of the girls are beginning to worry about getting to the Junior Prom. Don’t worry, girls, there are still plenty of boys left! Why does Lori Reynolds hear confessions during the last period? Why does Angela Cecere like stuffed animals? Why does Ann Marie Ganong al- ways get to school just before the 8:30 bell? Does she talk to someone special or is she just a sleepyhead ? Hi from room 334. Warning! Watch your step when you come into room 334 or you will trip over James Capuano, our class Ro- meo and Vinny Chiampi, our doonvatcher. Would someone please help Ed Forster with his problems? Who does George Fulginite look for at recess? Congratulations to Judy Pacini on her new hair style. If anyone knows the answers to these ques- tions please forward them to room 321. What does Carol Woods write in those daily notes to Pat? Who is Mary’s secret admirer? Who does Gail rush out to meet every day on the second floor? Who does Gladys wait for out- side the homeroom every day? James McCoy has been elected co-captain of our football team for next year. Everyone in 321 is look- ing forward to the Junior Prom. Watch out boys! The girls are on the prowl. Hello again! This is room 324 reporting on the double. We have a few puzzling ques- tions to be answered. Why is Dicky Graham late for homeroom period? Will Marie Al- fonso ever stop studying her stenography? Why does Dicky Dumas want to sit in the back of the room all the time? Why is Janet McCoy looking so worried lately? Could it be that the Bonneville has a flat? Who does Commie Petrozzeli rush to see after school? Why does Mary Sweet want to write a book named “The Truth About Louise Jones”? What is Joseph Perneta looking so slap-happy about lately? Why don’t Carol Bartolo and Carolyn Moore like their nicknames? It’s 325 coming your way once again! Why does George Dunn always roam around the corridors before school starts? What does Lawrence Centrella spend so much time read- ing in the back of the room during short recess? Why does Janice Parsons have such high hopes on going to the Junior Prom? Why does Pat Winterson spend so much time looking in the mirror before going to English class? Who is Bruce White constantly look- ing at? Twenty-one SOPHOMORE CHATTER Welcome back to Room 106. Congratula- tions are extended to Kathleen Albro and Manuel Cabral who received Maximum Credit and to the eight other students who made Credit. Room 106 was well represented at the Glee Club Concert with Beverly Bendek- gey, Shelia Brackett, Ronald Di Perna and Eileen Rooney participating in this event. It has been rumored that someone is anony- mously investigating why “the last three rows” are notorious for their talking and messy desks. It has been brought to the at- tention of this reporter that Janis Dyzdulis would like to inform certain seniors that al- though sophomores are “really ninth grad- ers,” they are not babies that enjoy having their hair pulled. David Mabel is becoming quite an accomplished singer. He practices daily at the beginning of the Latin period. Room 106 is diligently searching for a re- placement for “Manners, the Butler,” who disappeared recently. The replacement must be able to close doors, pick up papers, and keep desks neat. If anyone feels that he can fill these requirements, please apply in Room 106 any weekday. 113 checking in. History was reborn in English class recently, when the Battle of the Bulge was fought again, with James D. as its present-day counterpart. Robert Ven- utti, the gentleman with the “Listerine Smile,” played the part of Don Juan, as he held down a window shade, when the sun- light bothered a “fair damsel.” Speaking of history, Miss Ayers had some good advice for Charles A., which involved an important decision: “Humpty Dumpty” or the “Little Teddy Bear”? Heartbreak also struck re- cently when a very “unwilling” class was forced to switch their second period geometry teacher. Some of the third period regulars wouldn’t mind such “heartbreak” either. Spring is here and so is spring fever. Its symptoms are clearly visible in 113, with a few harmless “flirtations.” Are D.K. and A.C. as friendly as it seems? When will Diane M. say “yes” to David B. Diane M. greatly appreciated the clam that Charles A. smuggled out of Biology class, but she hard- ly wanted it down her neck. See you next issue with another report from room 113. Hi! Here we are again from room 114. Everyone in Biology is putting every extra minute they have on their “award-winning” projects, which are due very soon. We are all waiting for a glimpse of “Professor” Mur- phy’s stuffed bird which is sure to be high on the list of top winners. Our entire Ancient History class enjoyed “El Cid.” We are glad Bruce and Billy enjoyed themselves with their special companions. Congratulations are in order for Roberta Elliot who received Maximum Credit and Agnes Provenzano who made Credit for the second time. Everyone is proud to have a future actor amongst us, Paul Moscardini, who played the part of Clarence in our school play. Also among our talented fellow students, we have a poet (named), Kevin Murphy, who will undoubt- edly win fame and fortune in the years to come with his humorous pcems. The entire class is studying very eagerly on those “hard” spelling words which seem to stump most of us. We are sure that by the end of the year, we will have conquered them instead, as it is now, the words conquering us. The ge- ometry class is awaiting the result of our modern math experiments, which are sure to bring amazing results. The gay laughs are still heard echoing from Room 114, but the faces are starting to look sadder as we ap- proach report card time again. Good luck to all! Twenty-two 204 reporting the latest news and gossip! First of all we are glad to have Miss Bullen, our homeroom teacher, back in school, and hope she stays in the best of health. Certain girls in 204 think third period Biology, is a romance class. Who could they be? Miss Bullen gave Bobby Santorelli cookies every day so he would bring his bankbook in. What a delicious way to be bribed! I think Miss Bullen would have another fall if William Donovan arrived at school on time. Who is the boy in Mary Ballonia’s third period Al- gebra class, that she is interested in? Why are the boys so interested in all the letters the girls have written. Well, that’s all the news until next issue. Everything is A-O.K. in 209. Mr. Scully is ready to send some of the boys in the back of the room into orbit. Who knows, they might land on the moon first! I wonder why there is a twinkle in Chris’s eye, maybe she found her lucky star. See you in space! Hi! This is Room 213 sigining in again. It took us half the year, but now all of the members of our home-room know which classes they are in, and on what days to go there. Don’t they, Phyllis? We would like to congratulate Norma Grimstead and Alma Brennaman who achieved Credit. There were a number of “near-misses” but we hope to do better next quarter. Also congratulations are in store for Phyllis Brennan who braved one of the year’s worst snow storms to ap- pear in the Glee Club Concert. Here are a few questions which are bothering the illus- trious students of Room 213. Who is the boy that is always talking to M.V. ? Too bad Miss Mullaney is always telling him to go away. What is the object of Louis O’Connor’s growling? Why does Sandra Petingi call three certain boys her brothers? How about an introduction to the new members of your family, Sandy? Please rush all answers to the females of Room 213. This is a friendly hello from Room 243, reporting all the latest happenings. First, we would like to say that Paul Broglino is one of the great stars on the S.H.S. Junior Varsity Basketball Team. There are a few questions that need answering. If you are able to answer them please inform the stu- dents of 243. Why is James Corsino the teacher’s pet? Why do all the girls who have Latin in 205 stare at the back of the room? Is it because a certain boy sits in the sec- ond row, last seat? Before saying farewell, we would like to wish a belated “Happy Birthday” to Pierre. Miss Connor’s French poodle. Well that’s all for now, we hope to see you next issue. Room 244, reporting! We’d like to express our sympathy to Mr. James Hickey on the loss of his father. We’d like to welcome Frank Sharfe to our homeroom and we hope he likes it here. Why do most of the girls take the long way to Economic Geography? (I wonder!) “There isn’t very much to say; So I’ll close till another day.” This is Planet 302 zooming into orbit. The brain of our planet is Jeanne Comeau, who made credit. Earth might have John Glenn, but we’ve got Eddie McNabb, the speed boy! There is a rare species on our planet; let’s call them magpies. Their leaders are Jean Kelley and Rose Lucarelli. The latest news flash is that Judy Schewchenko is waging war with a fellow from another planet. And Cheryl Morgna is plotting for a boy from Arlington. Extra, extra! Word just came in that Norman Giroux was seen strolling down the corridor swinging a pail of clams. John Glenn’s aim was to orbit the earth, but Nor- man’s is to land at Mattapan. Marcia Pak has decided to give a certain fellow a black eye, if he keeps teasing her! (Author’s note: A word to the wise is sufficient.) So ends our interview with the tenth planet, 302. Blast off! Hi! This is Room 344 reporting the latest scoop! We would like to congratulate Shirley Brennaman and Melanie Rooney, our bankers, who do a great job. Our spirited cheerleader is Melanie Rooney. I wonder who John Ca- pone has his eye on in the homeroom? Could it be J.P.? Why does Sandy Kaulet always comb her hair before school? Is she going to be in a “Miss America” contest? This is room 344 signing off till next issue. In Room 345 Terry Ellen La Pointe and Paul Gorden made Credit again. If you like chatter stop by Room 345 during recess. If Twenty-three you want to eavesdrop on a hilarious love spat, drop by when Suzanne Caterina and Arthur Dukeshire are at it. Believe it or not, Virginia Burns made it to school on time re- cently. Now it is time to leave this world of fun and noise and say “so long” ’till next issue. Hi, this is room 347 signing in with our first edition of the class chatter, with Robert Christino as our Radiator reporter. Celia Fontaine and Lorraine Griswold are our room treasurers. Our proctors are Terri Donovan and Andrea Theodos. We haven’t had any class elections, but I’m sure Desmond Howe will be elected “class clown.” We have some questions we’d like to ask. What’s in the notes Priscilla and Tommy pass? Is Celia Fontaine still trying to get Eddie Medeiros? Will she succeed? We hope so! (So does she!) Who’s that “doll” Lorraine Griswold meets in the hall every day? Why is Babs Simard so lonely? Could it be because her steady beau goes to Northeastern University and she doesn’t. Why does David Loud al- ways ask Joan for gum? What do you think? Well, only a few more months until vaca- tion time, and in 350 we are all very happy about it. We are proud to announce that we had 100 percent participation in banking again. As we said last time, we can thank our good friend, Mr. Berra. Third quarter report cards will be coming out soon, and we wish all students the best of luck. (I think they’ll need it, I know we will.) This is Room 350 saying goodbye, and stay happy until next edition. Get ready! Get set! Let’s begin! Well the brains were working last quarter, adding Lorraine Leeman and James Dutra to the Credit list. Congratulations, kids! Gerry Stack is just as happy as can be. Could the ring around her neck be the reason. I think so! Would Gene Chase please explain to the class why he always seems to be dreaming. Is it a girl, Gene? Attention! Would some- one kindly donate an alarm clock to Mary Ellen Higgins so she can get to school on time. Well, it’s time to end this report. So long for now, see you next issue. To our happy classroom, 352, we wish to welcome two new students, Carol Crowly and Cecilia McCloud. Among our classmates we have some fine future astronauts: Joseph Candilieri, John Russell, John Mobilia, David Brown, who always seem to be wondering off into space. Also among our classmates we have some excellent gum chewers. Watch for the following books on the “Best Sellers’ List”—“The Lost Hope,” by Ann Crowell and Carolyn Souther; “How to Get the Best Out cf Your Teacher,” by Ellen Regan and Rose Ann Baldassari. By the way, Rose Ann gave us a well-needed laugh when she walked into school with two different shoes on. We also wish to congratulate Joan Garibotto for making Maximum Credit. She is a very hard worker and we are very proud of her. Welcome to room 349, home of seventh period lovers! Congratulations to Donna Watts and Nancy Thompson. Nancy made Credit and Donna gave all of us a jolt by achieving Maximum. Burning the midnight oil, girls? Billy Billings, a high scorer of our praiseworthy jayvees, also deserves recogni- tion. Quiie a few questions have been trou- bling our classmates and any answers—no matter how fantastic, would be greatly ap- preciated. Is Leo Franovich really as radio- active as that geiger counter claimed? Is it true that Skip Garber’s elephants are a color other than gray? Is Donna Watts as “Twist” crazy as her clothes seem to indicate? Who was Christine Roy’s mysterious and uniden- tified dance partner at her recent splash party? Has Bob Treska’s boomerang come back yet? Why are Larry Driscoll, Jimmy Straticos, and Paul Haviland, authors of “How to Drive a Teacher to Insanity” always so quiet and well-behaved? Why is Nancy Thompson always so blissful after receiving a letter from Dave? Who is George Olsen try- ing to get fixed up with a certain relative of his? Why is Ronald Curtis always trying to give away pens? What fascination do Vin- cent Dwyer and Frank Kneeland, our “gold- dust twins,” find in girls' pocketbooks? Why is Christine Toy willing to give up her study periods to work in the library ? We’re not the only ones with questioning minds, though. Something is puzzling Mr. Fedele, too—how on earth did thirty clowns turn up in one classroom? Evidently, there was some pretty uneven division somewhere. Twenty-four NORTH QUINCY, LYNN, CHELSEA Somerville was at its best in the opener of the basketball season. In the first game they took on North Quincy in Somerville. Somerville rolled to an easy 73-34 victory, as Bob Taylor emerged with 21 points, Jim Lally with 17, and Gus Ponte with 16. It was a smashing victory and Somerville seemed on its way to the Tech for the twentieth straight year. On December 19, Somerville journeyed to Lynn, where they were handed a rough de- feat, and a set-back on their march to the Tech. Despite 19 points by Taylor, 17 by Lally, and 11 by Ponte, Lynn handed Somer- ville a 68-63 overtime setback. Again Somerville was in for a shock, this time on their home court. Chelsea squeaked by a cold Somerville 52-50. Somerville’s shoot- ing was off as Taylor and Lally got only 14 points apiece, and Ponte netted only 9. The Tech march was really bogged down. REVERE, LOWELL, QUINCY Somerville, determined not to lose again, marched into Revere and tore the place apart. Somerville ran away with the win 92-25. Gus Ponte was high man with 21. Somerville was on the move again. “Strike while the iron’s hot,” that’s exactly what Somerville did. They marched into Lowell and walked off with another victory. They walked home with their second win in a row 62-50. A1 Pearson had 14 points, and Taylor 13. They were on the march in full force. The much heralded Quincy team, walked into a steam-rolling Somerville. “The Presi- dents” never could match Somerville’s well- balanced team, and “the Red and Blue” had their third straight 68-57. Jim Lally had 24 Left to right: Cooch Perry, P. McAdams, J. Driscoll, J. Lolly, G. Ponte. R. Toylor, Coach Sullivon. Rear A. Mohor, E. Harrington, E .Mockoy, R. Wheoton, R. Wolkcr, A Pcorson, R. Poroyon. Twenty-five points and Taylor had 20. The boys were really rolling along. MEDFORD, EVERETT, MALDEN Minus an injured Bob Taylor, Somerville walked into a disappointing loss at Medford. Everyone pitched in, but none could match the spark Taylor gives the team. Somerville lost 42-41. Still missing Taylor, “The Red and Blue” dropped another game, this one on their own court. Everett managed to walk on by, 59- 52. Gus Ponte had 18 points. Tech hopes were getting dimmer. Taylor still among the missing, Somerville visited league-leading Malden and were treat- ed to another dish of humble pie. Despite the well-balanced team of Somerville, Malden’s one-man team won out, 63-51. Tech hopes had all but vanished. NORTH QUINCY, LYNN, CHELSEA Taylor came back, and the team invaded North Quincy. Here they got on the win path 69-57, as Ponte got 19, Taylor 14, and Pear- son, Lally, and Walker each got 11. Lynn visited Somerville, and the team was anything but the perfect host walking away, 59-44. Lally had 18, Pearson 15, and Ponte 14. Despite 19 points by Taylor, 12 by Ponte and 10 by Pearson, Chelsea again squeaked by with two points, 55-53. At this point Somerville had to win the remaining games to qualify for the Tech. REVERE, LOWELL, QUINCY Revere visited Somerville and again was driven off the court, 83-30. Lally, Ponte, Pearson, and Taylor scored in the double fig- ures. Lowell came here and received the same treatment as Revere. The teams walked by, 74-41. Taylor, Pearson, and Ponte scored in doubles. At Quincy the “Presidents” fared no better and were outclassed, 84-76. Ponte and Pear- son had 20 each, McAdams 16, and Lally 15. Things were looking up. They could still make the Tech. MEDFORD, EVERETT, MALDEN Medford and Everett both met defeat, 62- 51 and 75-57, respectively. The “bid” hurdle was now Malden. Too bad! No Tech this year! Baron is just too-oo much! Somerville put up a good fight, but lost. They beat Waltham the next week 56-46, but it’s all over! SUMMARY Somerville had a well-balanced, good shoot- ing team this year, but —. They ran into hard luck games. They lost two to Chelsea by two points each, and a one-point game to Medford. TRACK TEAM Even more disappointing to the sport fans of Somerville than the Basketball team’s record, was the extremely poor showing made by the indoor track squad. The team finished the season with a record of no wins and five losses. The team is very young, comprised of mostly sophomores and juniors. It finished ninth of eighteen teams in the Met League, with 191 � points. Seventeen and one-half of these points were scored by Capt. Donald Portanova, Gene Barrett, Ed McNabb, and Bill Mantzoukas. Three of the finest competitors in the league represented Somerville at these meets. Junior Don Portanova is one of the best milers in the state. He finished first in every dual meet. Improving in every meet Junior astronaut and high jumper. Gene Barrett, conquered in the high jump at every meet. One of the most electrifying runners in the Armory was Sophomore Ed McNabb, who ran the fifty-yard dash. Ed won every race with the same time, 5:9, the second fastest time in the league. So, although the team finished with a poor record it wasn’t because of a lack of talent. Every eye looks toward next year in antici- pation of a great year for the track team. The track team has asked us to express their regards to Coach Dick Hegarty for a quick recovery from the operation he has had to undergo. May we add to these wishes our own personal wishes for a speedy recovery. Twenty-six NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Second Drawing Class of 1962 The following is a list of the members of the Class of 1962 who were recently selected for the National Honor Society. This is the second group to be chosen from the Senior Class. The first was chosen in their Junior Year. The pledge of the Society exemplifies all the Society stands for. “I will be a loyal member of the National Honor Society in the Somerville High School; steadfast in my pur- pose to abide by the right, to serve all just causes, and to seek the truth with my whole heart. I would prize scholarship as a sacred trust, and a noble character as my most val- uable possession. Beneath the banner of Honor and Progress I would loyally serve.” Paul Andruchow Henry Birkemose James Brown Stephen Caiani Paula Caruso Regina Cavicchio Clotilda DiDomenico Diana DiRusso Alice Doyon Laura Festa Maria Filosi Peter Franzosa Mary Ann Gelormini Carol Giordano Barbara Hamilton Lawrence Hazel Elaine Lepore Priscilla Leyne Ann Maclsaac Barry Marshall Louise Mazyck Matthew McGowan Elinor McLaughlin Nancy Mercer Nancy Miller Dolores Oxley Leonard Parker Walter Ross Herbert Serpa Sandra Shallah Virginia Smith Edward Talbot Robert Taylor Sandra Tisei Bonita Tuccelli THE SOPHOMORE TRI-HI-Y Carol Puccini ’64 The Tri-Hi-Y, affiliated with the Somer- ville YMCA, is an excellent club for girls of high school age. Previously there were only two groups, but because of the rapid growth of this club, a new group, composed mainly of sophomores, has been formed. In the spring applications for new mem- bers will be offered. We hope that you will want to join and will accept an application. The requirements are simple, only that you agree to do your share, and the activities are fun. For any prospective member or those who may have been wondering what we do, here is a list of some of our scheduled activities for this year; a penny sale, a pizza party, a car wash, a cake sale, a trip to Nan- tasket, a weekend at camp in New Hamp- shire, and a banquet. Besides seme interest- ing and enjoyable social activities, the list includes some necessary fund-raising activi- ties, but even these can be fun. The Tri-Hi-Y also endeavors to teach its members about careers, intriguing and beautiful places, and a variety of interesting and unusual topics by inviting speakers to talk at club meetings, which are held on Thursday nights at seven o’clock. So, if you feel you might enjoy being a member of this wonderful organization, just fill out a membership application blank when they’re given out this spring. Don’t hesitate; come cn in and join us in the fun! We’d love to see you at our meetings next year. RADIATOR The Radiator, as usual, has been one of the busiest clubs since the last publication. The Radiator room is never quiet for a moment, it is always filled with the noise of people hard at work with ideas. The Radiator has been involved in a number of projects outside the realm of magazine publishing. The room has seen a swarm of new, and busy faces. During recent months the staff has in- cluded in its membership the sophomores. And it must be said that they are really doing their share of the work in the prepara- tion of the magazine and also in the other products that the staff turns out. Twenty-seven- Editors. Louise Mozyck ond Jomes Covonough, confer. The staff took time for a little social break in the work-a-day routine when they held a tea in the early part of the third quarter. But as you would expect they never stay far from their work, so their invited guest was Mr. James Mahoney, News Editor of the Bos- ton Herald-Traveler. He spoke to them on a project for the Traveler’s Teen-World Sec- tion. The Staff finished a project on a feature of Somerville for the Traveler. This project was done entirely by the Staff, and will be published in the Traveler along with the projects of thirty other schools in the Travel- er’s circulation area. In recent weeks the room has been a bee- hive of activity. With all the preparations for the Radiator being completed. And the final touches being put on the 1962 Yearbook. Numerous meetings have been held and are continuing to be held in this room which is becoming the nerve center for the Seniors’ Graduation preparations. So don’t be alarmed to see a full house when you pass by, every- one is employed in constructive thought. GLEE CLUBS Although the Glee Club Concert was held on ft stormy night this year, it was a success. Vocals and instrumentals were followed by selections from the Sophomore Glee, Girls’ Glee, Boys’ Glee, A cappella, and Somerville High Glee Clubs. The music department will possibly put on a program at the next Parents’ Night which is to be held in May. The clubs at the present are looking forward to attending the operas, held this month in Boston. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA The organization that was an infant but a year ago is now one of the giants among the clubs. Her fast-growing membership and increased activity is due to the great ability of her officers and mainly her president, Louise Mazyck. Guided by Mr. Thornton and Miss McCann, the club continues to bring the Future Teachers in direct contact with the people who can give the “Teachers” the cor- rect answers in their quest for knowledge of the field they intend to enter. The club has held numerous teas in the Teachers’ lunchroom, where the weekly meet- ings are held. The most recent teas included one at which three people from Boston Uni- versity came to speak with the members of the club. After the speakers are through, the entire membership settles down to refreshments and discussion of the day’s talk. Everyone agrees that the club has fulfilled its purpose to bring information to the members. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President — George Macrokanis Vice-President — Susan Pescatore Secretary — Myrle Fuller Treasurer — Paul Andruchow Representatives to Student Council Mary Donahue, Bonnie Tuecelli Leonard Parker JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President — Robert Sylvester Vice-President — Janet Khoury Secretary — Bonnie Powers Treasurer — Robert Ferrari Representatives to Student Council Stephen Saslow, Gail Perry Joanne Gregorio, Raymond DeVellis SOPHOMORE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL Barbara Ricci, Robert Lodico Annette DeVellis, Mary DiDomenico Representatives to Student Council Vincent Camelio, Norma Lelless Evelyn Olson, Russell Fiqueira TwentV-«igbt Pauline Demetri ’63 Among the pages of the yearbooks there are pictures of many ambitious and dedicated people. Such an eager girl was Virginia Zango, class of 1958. While in high school, Virginia participated in many activities. For instance, she was a member of the Radiator Staff, The National Honor Society, the Glee Club. She was also a cheerleader. Her main ambition, however, was to be a professional dancer. Through much hard work and practice, she achieved her goal at the age of nineteen. Once her career was launched, Virginia continued to rise in popu- larity. She toured the east coast with “West Side Story” and then was accepted into “The American Festival of Ballet” which toured Europe and South America. Virginia's ballet master was so impressed by her talent that he asked her to join him as soloist in Zurich, Switzerland. There she was chosen for the leading role as the “Princess” in THistoire du Soldat” con- ducted by the great Igor Stravinsky. Six papers gave Virginia excellent reviews and for the first curtain-call, Mr. Stravinsky asked her to join him on stage. That must have been a great honor! By this inspiring story, we can see that if we work hard enough and apply ourselves we will achieve our goals in life. Do you think that Virginia Zango would have realized her greatest desire if she had just sat back and relaxed? I don't think so, and neither can we. OUR FAVORITE TEACHER Pauline Demetri '63 If you ever walk down the third floor East Building corridor and hear a commanding voice giving out orders left and right, have no fear! We are not being invaded by spies. It is cnly Emperor Berra giving his daily lecture on the importance of homework. Seriously, though, Mr. Berra, who has been teaching at Somerville High School since 1939, believes that a lot of homework is needed to get the most out of school. One of his many pet peeves is the mark- hungry pupil. He feels that students worry too much about marks rather than how much they can learn. If you reflect on this thought for a moment you will find it to be very true. Mr. Berra, a graduate of Somerville High, attended Boston College, where he obtained his Bachelor of Arts and Masters Degrees. Later he took further courses in English at Harvard University. During the war, for eight months he attended Lafayette College in Pennsylvania. Mr. Berra's favorite hobby is reading. If you ever have him for English you will soon realize this fact. He is always giving one book or another which you have never heard of for suggested outside reading. His other hobbies are railroads and architecture. Because of his teaching technique and abil- ity to keep a class lively and interesting, Mr. Berra is greatly admired by all his English classes. And although you may complain about all the homework and tests he gives, there is one thing you can be sure of: When you leave Mr. Berra’s room you will really know your English language.

Ryan, teacher of Bookkeeping ond Economic Geogrophy here ot Somerville High School for a number of years. The years are belied by the brisk, businesslike approach that she always brought to the morning march upon homeroom 149, to each day's devoted service to our students our school, our profession, and our community. A graduate of Marlboro High School ond Bryant ond Strotton Normal School, Miss Ryon come from Revere High School to Central Hill. During her many yeors at Somerville High School, she coped with the battle of the balance sheets and the trackdown of debits ond credits. Now she has closed her ledger with a lovely balance of serious purpose ond omioblc disposition, deeply appreciative of the best as well as the leost display of student minds, patiently compelling ond deeply sympathetic. Her book of years with us is o treasured keepsake volume. Most reluctantly we take Miss Ryon's word for it that retirement time is here, thot for her the school day is done. That we seem to let her go at all is only because we know thot the only true retirement is that of the heort, ond Helen Ryon has put hers so completely into her work at Somerville High School that in retiring she drows ours ofter her. MISS HELEN B. RYAN Fourteen ditoria Deor Classmates: Since our orrivol at Somerville High three years ogo our lives hove been filled with excitement and joy, frus- tration ond sorrow, gladness ond regret. The joy of entering into a new sphere, the frustration of not being able to adjust, ond the gladness ond regret of at last reaching the end of our road—Graduation Day. As Sophomores wc entered these hollowed halls timid and forlorn. If wos then we mode the friends that we will keep for life. As Juniors, more sure of ourselves, we carried the banner of Honor ond Progress a little higher thon before. We sow the almost-won Tech Tourney, and school spirit boomed. Now os Seniors, more cocky ond bold, we prepare to leave Somerville High but not without a deep sense of nostalgia. The Yeorbook Staff has tried to bring together all the events of the post three yeors in such a woy that os we skim through the pages and recall the memories, we can look back at our high school days and say these were our finest hours.

Senior (SlaSd SJiston i As timid ond omozed sophomores, we began our bril liont careers in Somervills High School. After o very short time, our class adjusted to the new school and eagerly participated in its numerous activities ond vorious athletics, without neglecting our studies. The class de- served commendotion for its excellent representation on the moximum credit ond credit lists. One of our out stonding members, Mory Donahue, won the intcr-closs Time Mogozme Current Events Contest. Brimming over with school spirit, banners, and con- fetti we cheered proudly for S.H.S. at the first football game on September 27, when our own quortcrback. Bob Toy lor, showed definite signs of greot days in the future. When the Music Deportment held its onnuol Talent Night ond Concert, many talented sophomores, including Jacob Vortabedian, Frances Blomen, Evelyn Molven, Clement Koloyonides, Moryclaino Altomarc, ond Mary Auito, highlighted the progroms and ossured Miss Sweet of many successful future Tolent Nights. Time ogoin for the senior ploy, but do we see sophomores in the cost for Jonc Eyre ? We certainly did see Virginio Chris- topher, Ronald Pino, Pamela Kneeland, Jacob Vartobe- dion ond Myrlc Fuller taking bows for some outstanding performances. In June, we deported for a well-earned vocotion, hoping to return with renewed determination to prove loyal supporters of Honor ond Progress! Time marches on! A year old ond wiser, we hops, through the magic process of supply ond demond plus the kind consent of our instructors, we become juniors. In order to mointain the lofty standards set by preceding dosses, it became necessory for us to elect class officers. Our chosen representatives were: President, Herbert Serpo; Vice-President, Susan Pescotore; Secretory, Fern Lecmon; Treasurer, Robert Taylor. The athletic teoms of thot year could trace their meosure of success directly to the junior athletes and cquolly hard-working cheerleaders Our football team fought hard and deserve proise for their sense of fair ploy, cooperation, ond stomino even in the focc of defeat. We quote as a tribute to them, For when the one Great Scorer comes to mork ogoinst your name, He writes not thot you won or lost, but how you played the game. Somerville retaliated in the basketball season by secur- ing itself a firm place in the Tech Tourney with o totol of 65% of its gomes won. A trip to Boston Gordon really topped off an active season. For some reason Hockey ond Trock seemed to shore the title of forgotten sports during our junior year, but commanded more attention from us os well-rounded seniors. The Radiator, managed entirely by juniors, under the guidonce of our copoble editor-in-chief, Louise Mozyck, wos awarded Highest Achievement by the New Englond Scholastic Press Association Conference held ot Boston University in October. The Radiator always represented itself ond Somerville High well ot conferences, banquets, and teos throughout the years. There were representa- tives at the New England Better Breakfast Conference, the Middlesex T.B. Association Scholastic Press Confer- ence, and several Globe Scholostic Press Conferences to name but a few. We sincerely appreciated the fine work Louise had done and hoped she would also be editor of our yearbook. Proud clossmotes congrotulotcd George Mocrokanis, who received the Harvard Book Award given to the most outstanding boy in the junior closs. The Student Council, composed of representatives from various clubs ond the closs officers, dedicated to improving high school life, attended their onnuol conference at Dedhom High School where groups from ncorby towns discussed ways in which the Council might better serve the school. We took a rst step in the right direction by electing the able leader- ship of Dean Mottard, Pamela Kneelond, and Sandra Tisei os officers for the coming yeor. Our class again dominated the cost for this year's Senior Production, Nuts in May, which proved o greot success in raising funds for the Harriet M. Bell Scholar- ship presented by the Ployers' Club to o deserving gradu- ate. We were proud to announce, during the course of Fifty-nine Chiton 7 the term, the birth of a new club. The Future Teochers of Amcrico, which brought prospective instructors in direct contact with the people who can give them inside information on the field they wish to enter. As April 28 drew near Prom became the secret password throughout the junior corridors. About to ex- perience a totally new, exciting event, girls treated them- selves to a speciol visit to the beauty salon, ond donned yards of silk chiffon ond fur stoles; while boys spent every spare moment preparing the family car for its debut; and George Macrokonis, Leonard Parker, Pamelo Kneeland, Meredith Tucker, ond Myrle Fuller, the Junior Night Committee, purchased lost-minuto favors ond deco- rotions for the gala affair. During this magnificent evening Deon Mottord and Elaine Dumas were crowned King ond Queen to preside over The South Pacific. Shortly before the close of this eventful year, the Future Nurses of America, a club devoted to the prepara- tion of high school students for their troining and chosen careers, selected Susan Catharin as president, to be assisted by secretory Paulo Kominski in performing the club's various functions. In the first drawing of the Notionol Honor Society, the twenty-one members elected by their teachers ot the end of the year were: Kenneth Burke, Domenic Coliri, Joyce Cotanzano, Virginia Christopher, Loretta Comeau, Mary Donahue, Myrle Fuller, Pomelo Kneelond, Joyce Lodico, Rolph MacKenzie, George Macrokonis, Dean Mottord, Michael Nissenbaum, Susan Pescatore, Leono Poplawski, Carol Ricccrdi, Coro! Rigozio, Brcdford Stokes, Meredith Tucker, Eloine Vergnoni, and Neil Williomson. In June, Mathew McGowen, Brodford Stokes, Herbert Serpo, ond Chorles Rosselli left for the University of Massachusetts to ettend Boys' Stote. This wos a reward- ing experience for the boys. Weary from the rigid progrom, we ended this our junior yeor in o bloze of glory, celebrating with mam- moth banquets the success of our many endeavors, and looking forword to the zenith of our career. At lost the story of the Closs of 1962 had reoched its climox with the year we had all been waiting for. Amid whirlwinds of events and memories, the time flew even foster than before. The football team suffered a sorry seoson. On Thanks- giving Day, the Red ond Blue entertained a powerful Waltham squad that left Somerville a little short on the point column possibly due to o drowsy first half. Co- captoins Herb Serpa, Dean Mottord, and Bob Taylor urged the S.H.S. gridmen to get in the fight, so that in the final quorter they showed real spirit, scoring sixteen points in the lost minutes of the game. In the field of hockey, co-coptoins Jim Quinn ond Richord Hughes, both excellent skaters, led the sextet to a near championship victory! In summing up Our boskctball seoson, Somerville hod a well-bolonced, good-shooting teom, and very capable captain, Jim Lolly, but—good luck wasn't on their side. Although the team finished with a below por record it wasn't due to lack of tolent. Under the President's Youth Fitness Program, great stress wos placed on the physical endurance of young Americans. The Girls' Athletic Association, directed by its senior officers, Elaine Delano, Betty Glines, Meredith Tucker, and Joyce Lodico, kept in step with the increas- ing demand for better recreation by inviting oil girls of Somerville High School to participate in the many sports offered. We took pleasure in congratulating Poula Coruso, Mary Donahue, and James Curry who received letters of commendation for their outstanding performances in the Notionol Merit Scholarship Examination. We olso recognized the honor achieved by Louise Mozyck who Sixty wos selected the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomor- row. Our closs wos groteful to the Student Potrol ond chief, Charles Rosselli, for conscientiously preserving low ond order throughout the halls of ivy. Eorly in 1962 Elaine Vergnoni wos selected by the members of the Teen Citizens' Administration to be Somerville High's candidate in the upcoming mayoralty contest. Susan Pescotore ond Deon Mottord excellently nominated ond seconded our girl at a rally attended by the three Somerville high schools. She wos finally elected ond given the title Miss Junior Mayor. Probobly one of the most active and memorable or- ganizations at Somerville High School wos the Glee Club, which we associated with entertainment of the finest kind, both for those who participated and for those who listened. There were truthfully few who could say that they had not participated in some Glee Club activity since their arrival on the hill. Mony of our seniors received great benefit from the excellent driver-educotion program sponsored by the high school. It went far beyond merely teaching how to manipulate on outomobile by stressing the importance of responsible drivers who could then become good citi- zens if they practiced the closs instruction in doily life. For the first time in twenty yeors, Somerville was represented in the Massachusetts Regional Droma Festival by o cost including Jocob Vortabcdian, Ronald Pino, Virginia Christopher, Pamela Kneeland and Myrle Fuller who presented highlights from the 1962 Senior Play, A Connecticut Vonkee in King Arthur's Court. The cost on the whole wos rated very good with special com- mendation going to Jacob Vortobedian, who was selected by the judges for the All-Star cost. The representative of Somerville High School in the annual science foir at M.l.T. was Joseph Lauria, winner of our own science foir. As time marched on we elected os our senior officers: George Macrokanis, president; Susan Pescotore, vice- president; Myrle Fuller, secretory; ond Poul Andruchow, treasurer. Next in the way of elections came the Senior Prom ond Class Doy Committee.

On May 25 came the Senior Prom and the entire class was in ready expectation of that dreom night, the one they would always remember, the one that would pass owoy all too soon os indeed it did. The next ten doys passed by in ropid succession leaving but o few plcasont memories of Closs Doy ond all its splendor. Finally, on June 4 we reached graduation, the solemn occasion which brought us to the close of an era. The end was marked with our diplomas, symbols of our own Honor and Progress. We cannot express fully our sincere gratitude and ap- preciation for the education ond experience given to us in the lost three years. Ves, it was all worth it!!

At the end of the seoson the record stood of two wins and seven losses. One of these wins wos recorded becouse the Chelseo team, plagued by injuries, chose to let the game be won through default. The team was composed of capable boys led by the outstanding co-coptains Herb Serpa, Robert Toylor, and Dean Mottard. After losing the opening game to Arlington by o score of 18-6, the Somerville eleven bounced back to take the next gome against Quincy, 28-0. Other losses included those gomes agoinst Medford, 20-8, Malden, 30-6, Weymouth, 36-20, Everett, 50-6, Lawrence, 24-0, and Waltham, 30-16. The Everett game will long be remembered as the one in which Bob Leo of Everett swept up and down the field for touchdown after touchdown. Another on the list of memoroble contests was the Turkey Doy gome. The gome itself was o run of the mill one brought to life ot the end by a fight which broke out omong the teams. The high point of the season came ot the Lowrencc gome. The Somerville High team ployed on excellent game and at the close the only comment that could be mode wos Why did we lose? The members of the team deserve o great deol of proise for being oble to ploy fairly and show good sports- manship in the foce of so many defeats. Sixty-four 1— Cooch Perry. P. McAdams, J.

Paroyon The Somerville High School basketball team ended this yeor with a poorer than usual 12-7 record, losing to Chelsea twice, Malden twice, and Lynn, Medford, and Everett each once. Cooch Sullivan's teom, this yeor, was led by senior coptain, Jim Lolly. The boys played well, better than most high school teams, but it seemed to lack the spark ond vigor of the usual teams Somerville High turns out. The quintet gained wins over North Quincy, Revere, Lowell, Quincy, Medford, Everett, Lynn, ond Woltham. At the holf woy point in the seoson the Somerville five hod lost all but one of the games necessary to eliminate our team from the Tech Tourney for the first time in twenty years. With seven gomes remaining the team dropped one to Chelseo by a score of 55 to 53. This was one of the most exciting gomes of the yeor. The quintet wos able to win all the difficult ones but seemed to lag badly on the eosy ones. This year's team was worthy of a greot deol of praise for being able to look defeot in the foce and smile back. It was expected the Somerville High team would enter the Tech and no one felt worse than did the boys them- selves. Next year's team should be able to pick up where ours left off and again bring Somerville to the Gardens Sixty-seven 1— George Dole, Jomes MeGonn.

This year the spring track squad wzs led by senior coptain Joe Moniglio while Donold Portonovo, o junior, spurred on the winter and cross country teams. Although we were unable to secure any victories we were able to give the opposing teams o good run for their money in mony events. Track is one of the oldest sports in the world. Men have been throwing the discus and running the rcloys for thousands of years. Each track meet consists of several events: the 50 and 100 yard doshes, the 220, 440 and 880 yard races, the mile run, the high jump, the low hurdles the shot-put and the javelin. This yeor Somerville High School tracksters excelled in hurdles and high jump. Gene Borrett accounted for mony of the points won by Somerville in that he didn't lose a high jump oil yeor. Joe Moniglio and Peter Fran zoso also brought many points to Somerville's record. With the many capable juniors and sophomores led by their junior coptam Portonovo the hopes for a better team next yeor ore great. Sixty-eight ]—Robert Lupi, James Quinn, Richard Hughes, Russell Kraus, John Mountain 2—Edward Lupi, Steven Saslow, Alfred Volozzi, John Aylward, Frank Burgess, Peter Burgess c-Xettennen The Somerville High Hockey team finished the season with o 4-9-1 record. Coach Goggin was hampered from the start when he wos unoblc to find o defenseman to pair with co-coptoin Richie Hughes. He was forced to put our other co-coptoin, Jim Quinn, last year's ond this ycor's leading scorer on the point taking, away from our offense. After the scoson storted our teom played good hockey olthough they were handicapped from lack of experi- ence. It was this inexperience thot enabled o strong Arlington team to shut out the Somerville sextet. The team bounced bock to win o tight victory over the Rindge Technical team, but fell victim to Cambridge High and Latin, Newton, Brookline, and Arlington loter in the season. Even though our team won victories over Medford, Rindge, ond Waltham, the high point of the season wos reached until the Brookline game. The Somerville High team was able to tie the league-leading team by scoring two goals in the last thirty seconds of the contest. This wos without o doubt the best-ployed and most exciting game of the entire year. The scoring wos opened on a gool by Jack Aylward, followed by another by Robert Lupi. With one second remaining in the game Jim Quinn scored the tieing goal with assists from Richie Hughes ond Jack Mountain. Much credit is due Coach Goggin, who overcame mony obstacles ond was able to turn out a fine teom for Som- erville High to be proud of.

You would hove seen them in ragged old uniforms, but if loter you watched ony of the porodes in which the Somerville High School Bond took part you could have shared the members' pride and happiness at having new uniforms. This was only one of the good things which hoppened to the band this year. For this great improvement, os well as for the fine quality of the band, many people should be thanked publicly. Mr. Bizier, ond the director of music, olong with all the members should be proud for it was through their efforts that the bond wos able to win fovoroble recognition for our city ond our school. The band this year was headed by Robert Boyce, leader ond by our lovely majorettes, Pot Leyne and Jean Violanto. These pupils along with the other members devoted much time to practice both ot school ond ot home. The dance band, onother of the activities of the high school, was led by onother copable senior, Stephen De- Crosto. They pick their own members from the students in the marching band ond they are paid for the work they do. Both these bonds hoped in future ycors to bring to Somerville High a sense of pride and loyalty in the organization by even more hormonious ond professionol- sounding performances. Seventy-one Go Teom Go! This fomilior cry will long be remem- bered by students of Somerville High and the vivacious cheerleaders who yelled for oil they were worth. Under the direction of Miss Helen O'Brien, the cheer- leaders rang out gome after game, spurring our teams on to victory. These bundles of energy ploced the pep and steam into cheering at both fun-filled football games and tense baskctboll bottles. School spirit ron rompant among these vivacious misses for they not only ottended games, but spent long hours three and four nights a week, working out new routines. They acted os hostesses to the Drama Festival held an- nually throughout New England. They were participants in the annual Talent Night performance and they bocked up Somerville High's candidate for junior moyor ot the Teen Citizens' roily. They held a very successful Holly Hop during the Christmos scoson. The proceeds from the dance went toward a scholarship for some deserving senior. For their splendid job of cheering, the girls attended a banquet sponsored by the High School Athletic Associa- tion, ot which the senior chccrleodcrs received their letters. On Moy 1st, the senior cheerleaders received their pendants at the annuol chccrleoders' banquet. This year it was held ct the 1775 House in Lexington. The banquets were but small rewords compored to the enthusiosm shown by the Somerville High crowds. For it's when our cheerleaders heard the echo from the stands that they truly knew that Somerville leads the way! 1 -Nancy Mcrccr, Susan Pcscatorc, Joyce Sontosuosso, Peggy Rimkus, Audrey Peak, Loretta Comcau, Carol Riccardi 2 -Dione Veno.

If is sponsored with the close cooperation of the gym touchers. Miss Snell, Miss Croy, and Miss Dolcy. Tnc purpose of GAA hos olwoys been to give the girls of the high school a time ond o place to expel excess energy ond develop othletic skills. Now, it is olso linked with the President's Youth Fitness Progrom. The GAA is mode up of several sports among which ore: bowling, volleyball, badminton ond swimming. Vol- leyboll, badminton, ond swimming. Volleyball, bod- minton, ond basketboll contests arc held in the school. The various teams not only ploy each other but bon to- gether to ploy teams from other schools. Swimming is probably the most popular of the activities offered. The group met eoch week in the YMCA on Highland Avenue under the direction of Miss Dolcy. The bowling group met eoch Monday at the alleys on Highland Avenue. The girls were oble, through con- stant practice, to raise their scores and better their averages. The Girls' Athletic Association should be given thanks publicly more often thon it is for if is through this organization that the girls of Somerville High School gain the poise, grace, and skills thot they will need in loter life. The senior girls this year leave the GAA with the hope thot through their efforts ond the efforts of those to come, the Somerville High GAA will be the best in the area and bring os much recognition to our girls os to our boys. Seventy-four The Somerville High School Glee Club is the lorgcst and, undoubtedly, the most enjoyable organization at the high school. It is run under the direction of Mr. Poul O. Kelley and Miss Beatrice Sweet. This year os in the post an ambitious program of OCtivity wos planned. The members of SHS took part in the Christmos program through which they visited vari- ous rest homes and hospitols in the area. They took part in many charitable activities for churches and other groups. The officers for this year were: President, Pomelo Kneeland ond Clement Kolyonides; Vice-President, Joyce Lodico; Secretary, Ann Maclsoac; Treasurer, Delores Oxley; ond Librarian, Janet Parsons. The most important night of the yeor for the com- bined glee clubs is concert night, but the “melody mad- men olso participated with vigor in Talent Night, the Kiwonis Show, ond other assemblies at the high school. As in the past the group made plons to visit the opera when it came to Boston in the spring and visited the junior high recruiting members. Sociolly, the Glee Club is os active os any other or- ganization. The combined glee clubs held dances during the year which were a tremendous success. At the close of the year all the members joined with the members of the other glee clubs ond brought to o close a wonder- ful year with a banquet in their honor.

Miss Sweet has charge of the Girls' and o coppello glee clubs; and Miss McGonn guides the boys. At Talent Night in October and again at the Concert in February, the clubs showed what much hard work could do. The members all enjoyed the dances put on in the high school gym, the trip to see Music Mon, The Messioh at Christmos time, the program of operas, the different shows given to hospital patients, ond at the end of the yeor singing at the different junior high schools in the city. We looked forward to singing at the Closs Day ond Graduation exercises ond all our expectations were ful- filled. We thank both the officers of the clubs and the teachers who took the time and trouble to give us a wonderful yeor. The combined Glee Clubs form the largest extra-cur- ricular oefivity ot Somerville High ond with such a large number one might think that personalities would be lost. It is not so! The foculty advisers sought to place eoch member of the organization in a desirable position thus making it on enjoyable extra activity. Eighty menca future LJeachend op The Future Teochcrs of Americo is one of the newest orgonizotions ot Somerville High School. It wos founded two yeors ogo in the spring of 1960. It is held under the direction of Mr. Francis X. Thornton and Miss Mc- Cann, the foculty odvisers. This year's officers were: Louise Mozyck, president; Paulo Giroux, vice-president, Joyce Cotonzono, vice-president; Fern Lecmon, recording secretory; Catherine Culverhouse, corresponding secre- tory, Edward Orsi, treasurer; Carol Anostos public rclo lions officer; and Jomes Covanough, Student Council representative. The F.T.A. held a donee ot the beginning of the school year. It was successful ond did much to increose the treasury. During the year the group held many teos ond socials for members of visiting stoffs. The F.T.A. wos visited by representatives from Boston University, Boston College, Lesley, Emanuel College, and Boston State. These rep- resentatives spoke to the group on the advantages of entering the teoching profession, the hardships ond the rewords. The clubs ordered pins ond emblems for its members thus giving them something to symbolize F.T.A. The organization closed the year with a banquet held at Chicklond. Since there ore so many capable juniors and sopho- mores we know thot the future of the orgonizofion will be secure. 1— -Sandro Shallah, Koren Lister, James Covanough, Paulo Giroux, Louise Mozyck, Joyce Cotonzono, Edward Orsi, Paul Clork, Linda Knight, Noncy Mercer 2— John Rcpetto, Noncy Doyle, Norma Sutton, Diano Velordi, Groce Johnson.

The group this yeor wos assisted by Gerald Donahoe, . Somerville High faculty adviser, and Mr. Burt Faulkner and Mr. David Horvey, Kiwonis International advisers. The officers were: Barry Marshall, president; Robert Nickerson, vice-president; Peter Caruso, vice-president; Lawrence Elliott, secretory; Michael Londcrs, treasurer; ond Robert Fleming, Student Council representative. The members have, in the hope of better helping the community, held sofety campaigns, oided in drives for vorious charitable ond worthwhile organizations, and donated both their time ond energy in volunteer hospital work. In order to meet the expenses of carrying on an or- ganization of this type, the Key Club held o cor wash which proved os successful this yeor os in the post. It is through activities like this that the future of our country will be secured. It is through giving that we receive and through serving that we are helped. It is hoped that the Key Clubs in the future will hove more members to share the responsibility and reword of helping those less fortunate thon ourselves.

At the beginning of the year the Science Club set right to work building a number of small rockets which were fired throughout the year. The moximum height reached by one of these one-inch rockets was 1,100 feet. In addition to these smoll ones the club members also built on eight-inch rocket which proved too powerful to be fired in the state of Massachusetts. A series of weather balloons were launched in the latter part of the school year. Instruments set aloft in them were used to mcosure humidity, oltitudc, tempera- ture, and direction. The Science Club had several projects which, it is hoped, will materialize in the near future. It is hoped that the club will be able to send oloft a large Echo balloon with a complex instrument package oboard. This bolloon would hove in its pockogc o transmitter thot according to plon would send out signals which could be tracked os it moved across the country and with luck across the globe.

The octuol membership is gathered from the homerooms where individuals volun- teer their services to act os representatives. From this number a council of ten members is chosen. It is this council thot thinks up ond corries out the vorious money making schemes, and worthwhile projects which the Jun- ior Red Cross sponsors. Lost year the special project was to furnish gift boxes for distribution to disoster areas. The year before the student body contributed to a school chest for overseas shipments to needy areos. This yeor's projects followed olong much the some lines. The Junior Red Cross olso takes part in Memorial Day services for veterans ond by lining up entertainment for those interned in neor-by hospitols. Eoch month there is a meeting of the Junior Red Cross of Metropolitan Boston where members representing the vorious high schools in the area report on their activity. This enables the different schools to shore idcos ond plons ond thus provide better all-around ossistonce to those needing their help. The Junior Red Cross at Somerville High has, this year os in the post, carried out a program worthy of praise ond one which reolly proves thot Somerville Leads the Woy.

As in the post the Art Club bore the resposibility for seeing that both the Junior ond Senior Proms were deco- rated in the finest style. They did a mognificont job! The club sponsored two dances during the year in the hopes of expanding the treasury sufficiently to be oble to oward at the end of the year a sizable scholarship to a deserving graduote. They were ogoin successful! The pin sole ot the beginning of the year and the poster contest near the end completed the Art Club's busy schedule. All in oil, the Art Club is one of the busiest ond most rushed organizations ot the high school and, needless to soy, one of the most important. 1— Catherine Licari, Joyce Wells, Elaine Vergnoni, Donold MocLeon, Sandra Tisei, Jecn Violonto, Elvira Tonoglio 2— Mory Sullivon, Mourccn Jones, Geroldine Ackerley, Marie Cecere.

These students hove, in addition, been selected to serve in the school bonk. These boys ond girls do oil the work necessary to keep the records of the individual occounts in the Somerville School Sovings System. This tokes in oil the public schools in the City. The Bonk Corps members in the course of their work become fomilior with regulor bonk procedures. They operote the various types of office mochines ond goin procticol experience in filing ond working with ledgers. Becouse of the very noture of the work they do, the students leorn to become more accurate, occcpt ond follow instructions corefully, ond to check work over ond over ogoin. The members of the Bonk Corps ore not restricted to usual classroom procedures when in the Bonk. They go obout their work os if they were working in on office, with much the some responsibility being placed on their shoulders. During the post twenty ycors the amount of money hondlcd by the Bank Corps has reached well over $755,- 500, representing individual deposits numbering close to 671,670. The total number jf accounts opened is in excess of 21,000. If is the pupils in the Bonk Corps who hove undertaken this vast program. This ycor the deposits omounted to $21,094.85, rep- resenting 10,127 deposits. The problems thot the students face while working in the bank give them much of the experience that they will need in loter years.

The mod rush usually began o few weeks before the dcodline. We could usually see Radiator editor, Jomes Covan- augh, chosing offer one stoff member or onother for some literory materiol which wos overdue. Louise Mozyck, Rodiotor editor in our junior year olso added to the confusion. But os the dcodline drew ncor, piles of literory ma- terial poured in from the talented stoff members. Chat- ter from Rodiotor reporters added to the collection. The result wos o moss of writing from which wos chosen enough for the publication. Our art director, George Mocrokonis, worked diligently to satisfy the aesthetic desires of our readers. His work was ctrtoinly o greot contribution to the Rodiotor. During lunch period, Room 4la become the Informo- fion Booth of S.H.S. It wos then that you could find out who wos going steady w:th whom, who hod o dote for the prom, ond whot opinions anyone hod on olmost any subject. Besides having fun in the editoriol room, the Rodiotor ond Yearbook stoffs held two donees—one in the foil ond one in the early spring Both dances provided fun for oil who ottended. And so both enjoyment ond experience wos gained by each student on the Rodiotor Stoff. The fun ond the knowledge goined will not soon be forgotten. Ninety ool It wos spring! While young men's fancies turned to though.s of love, the thoughts of the stoff turned to mis- placed data cords, missing pictures, and spilled glue. While others shopped for senior prom outfits, this talented group cut and pasted pictures, planned page set-ups, typed data, wrote reports, ond rushed, rushed, rushed! They skipped lunch, sacrificed weekends, ond contributed in other woys to the publication. Members sat up until ail hours of the night and morning until typewriter ribbons were worn, pictures were cropped, end homes were transformed into glue factories. These herdworking seniors doshod modly around the school seeking a photographer, engrover, or another mem- ber of the stoff. They wore out shoes, lost weight, gained circles under their eyes, and lost their calm, easy-going woy of life. As the days grew nearer, we could hear Yeorbook editor, Louise Mozyck, cry, Oh no!

It is through this group that many of the changes in tradition teke ploce. The Council is composed of representatives from each of the other clubs at the high school. These representa- tives are either selected by their faculty advisers or elected bv their fellow members. Class officers and runners-up olso quolify for membership. This year the Council corried on o very busy program. It sponsored ond carried out elections for closs officers in the junior and senior classes and also carried out the selection of a Sophomore Executive Committee. The Closs Doy Committee ond the Senior Night Committee election olso comes under the jurisdiction of the Council. This organization, under the leadership of its faculty adviser, Mr. Fasciano, and its officers: Dean Mottord, president; Pamela Kneelond, vice-president; Sandra Tisei, secretory; and junior Edword Mackay, treasurer, corried out an ambitious program of selling book covers to roise money. The Council also held o very successful donee at the beginning of the year in the attempt to increase the club treosury. The money earned was given away in the .form of scholarships to deserving seniors. The Student Council has been successful only because of the interest and cooperation shown on the part of both the teoching stoff ond the student body.

Headed this year by chief Charles Rosselli, ond his dedicated lieutenants ond coptoins, the Potrol hos suc- cessfully promoted a courteous and systematic procedure for filing, cut down the congestion that hos olways plogued large schools, and reached whot could be called near perfection in maintaining peoce ond quiet. Mrs. MacDonnell is the hard-working facuty adviser. The boys give up their study periods ond free time in order to try to maintain safety in the corridors. It wos only through the cooperation of the entire student body ond a great part of the faculty thot the Student Patrol boys were oble to do their job. The Student Potrol, being more o work organization than a social one, held no donees or other similar activity during the school yeor. They raised no money to be given away os scholarships but we all know that they were considered just as thoroughly os the others when it come time to decide who the recipients would be. Just as the Student Patrol thanks the student bddy for its cooperation, the student body would like to express its thanks to the Student Patrol for a job well done.

The members of this exchange program loter hosted the group from Abbing- ton. Exchonge progroms of this type are held in coopera- tion with the TCA of Somerville. It wos through them that our friends from other cities were oble to sec that we truly follow the slogan of this year's Junior Moyor, Eloine Vergnoni, Youth Speaks. It wos made cleor too thot we plon to carry out the platform of our leoder: 1. A Clean-up, Paint-up, Fix-up Campaign in the hopes of keeping our city tidy. 2. A newsletter entitled Youth Speaks published in the local newspoper. 3. Pledging our services os volunteers wherever our assistance may help. 4. A civic offoirs course for youth with the possibility of including and educating the adult population of the city. 5. Promotion of o Youth Center to come in the future. Under this platform the TCA and the Exchange Pro- gram hope to enlighten both the young and the old of the city. Ninety-four iJeen (Citizens._ dminiitration The Somerville Lodge of Elks hos for the lost few yeors sponsored o progrom of activity for high school students who hove the desire of meeting ond discussing with our city officials the various civic problems that they foce coch doy. It's run much the some os o minioture city. Eoch year the participating schools present o condidote for the position of Junior Moyor. The Moyor is se- lected by five judges at o roily held in the high school auditorium.

Mony importont ond famous people once belonged to deboting clubs. Portia is the debating club of Somerville High. The main purpose of Portia is to develop good diction ond speech habits and instill in its members o feeling of self-confidence ond poise. The club was carried on under the fine guidance of its faculty odviser, Miss Morjorie O'Brien. This year's officers were: Eloine Vergnoni, president; Corol Riccordi, vice-president; Mary Donahue, secretory; Joyce Lodico, treasurer; and Dionc Velordi, Student Council representa- tive. Portia met each Tuesday after school ot which time activities were hela. The scope of the discussion ranged from important news headlines to the latest prom gossip. Debates, ponel discussions ond buzz groups were oil port of an afternoon's meeting. The club is not without its social side. Portio held o very successful record hop during the year in the hopes of moking enough money to be oblc to award a con- siderable scholarship to some deserving senior. The mem- bers held a private party, for invited guests, during the winter, and ended the yeor's social activities with o bonquet for all the members. Portio is one of the most personally profitable of the organizations ot the high school and it is hoped thot the membership will continue to grow. Ninety-six I Maureen Jones, Ann Mac Isaac.

Each year it is one of the club's activities to solicit funds for the Harriet M. Bell Scholarship Fund. The proceeds from the dance ond ploy which the organization sponsors ore portiolly contributed to the fund olso. This year the group put on a ploy in the auditorium, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. It was an excellent exhibition of the skill with which mony of our fellow students are endowed. The group, as usual, olso ottended outside ploys given by professional acting companies. Many of the members of the Somerville High Players' Club ottended and acted os hosts ot the Massachusetts State Drama Festival held in John Hancock Hall in the spring.
