With mixed emotions Diane watched her family leave. Too bad she couldn’t go with them, but she was nursing a miserable head cold. This was the first time that she had ever been left alone in the house for the eve- ning, and what a wonderful feeling; she felt so grown-up. After all she WAS fifteen and hadn’t she just recently overheard one of tne neighbors say that she could pass for seventeen? Just because she lived in the country didn’t mean she wasn’t capable of staying home by herself. She walked over to the stereo and put on a pile of soft, relaxing records, then curled up on the sofa with a book that had a book report due on it in a week. Just as the records had begun to play there was a knock on the door. Diane rose slowly from the sofa. “Whoever it is, certainly is perisistent’’, she thought. As she peeked through the window of the door, she saw a tall, slender man in a gray, weather-beaten overcoat. His hat was pulled down over his eyes to shield him from the downpour, and he wore a worried look on his too-thin face. I don’t recognize him she thought, as she backed against the wall. A startled expres- sion crossed her face as he continued to ring the bell. Must have seen me peeking through the windows she surmised. Sure sounds as though he thinks he ought to be let in. Maybe he’s a friend of Dad’s. Think I’ll open the door just a crack, and see what he wants. As the door opened, with the safety latch still locked he smiled. That smile seemed to spread from the even white teeth to the en- tire contour of his face. “May I ask a favor of you, Miss?”, he asked. “My car is stalled about a half mile down the road, and I would appreciate it if I could use your phone to call a mechanic.” She paused for a moment remembering her father’s warning NOT to let strangers in the house. But, who could refuse this man with the friendly smile? His voice was so soft. He seemed so harmless. After all it WAS raining and he said his car was stalled. He was all muddy and wet and the nearest house was another half mile away. Slowly she unlatched the door. Shaking off his coat and hat he entered. “Sure is a nasty night,” said the stranger. Diane nodded, unable to speak because of the sudden panic that spread over her. His soft voice went on pleasantly and his eyes still smiled as he spoke, but she couldn’t help from looking at the ugly red scar that started at his right eyebrow, plunging through the sandy hair to the crown of his head. “My name is Jim Brady”, he said. “What’s yours?” “I’m Diane Reddy. The phone is in the living room,” she murmured. The tall man removed his muddy rubbers and walked through the living room to the phone. Diane heard him dial a number and ask for the mechanic. What have I done, she thought, and the terror seized her anew. Three “The mechanic is out on a call”, he said. “Is it all right if I wait for his call?” “You may”, said Diane. After all she didn’t have much of a choice. She couldn’t very well ask him to wait out in the rain. “I think there’s some coffee left cn the stove. Would you like some ?” “That would be nice”, agreed Mr. Brady. Diane went into the kitchen and as she was turning on the stove, she heard the tall stranger making another call. I’ll just stand here by the door and wait until he’s through, she thought. She made a pretense of rattling cups and saucers, but couldn't help overhear- ing the conversation. He was saying, “Car is bogged down in the mud . . . six miles from the border . . . girl of about seventeen ap- pears to be alone . . . this will be a pleasure . . . perfect spot for me to stay . . . yes, I’m armed...” As he finished, Diane walked into the living room with the cups. Her heart pounded, her hands kept shaking and her mind kept say- ing . . . Diane, be brave. Mr. Brady went into the kitchen to help her with the coffee pot. They heard a banging sound coming from the back of the house. Diane noticed that his hand went instinctively over a bulge in the right trouser pocket. That must be the gun, she thought. Why oh why did I ever let him in ? The man came back with the same friendly smile on his face. “Your screen door blew open in the back.” he said. They sat down in the living room to drink their coffee. Diane had never drunk coffee before and she thought she musn’t allow him to guess how terrified she really was. This strong liquid would give her the courage she needed. She gazed at the clock on the mantle and realized that her family would be home any minute. Just then the phone rang, and at the first beep Diane was on her feet, rushing across the room to answer it. “Hello, Diane”, said mother. “How are you getting along,” “F-f-fine”, she stammered. “The storm is really getting worse dear. We started home, but went about five miles and the water was up to the headlights of the car so we couldn’t go on. We’re at Mr. Loomis’ farm. He’s out right now but when he comes back he’ll give us a ride home in his truck.” All through the conversation Diane’s spirits were fading to the tips of her toes. Should she tell her mother what she had done? It wouldn’t do them any good to get upset they couldn’t get home now anyways, she figured. “We should be home within an hour,” mother went on. “Diane, is anything the matter? You sound so nervous.” Diane glanced around her noticing that Mr. Brady was standing behind her obviously hearing the whole conversation. “Yes, mother, just uneasy about the storm, I guess”, she somehow managed to say. “All right, dear. We’ll see you in an hour.” As she walked away from the phone, Mr. Brady was all smiles. “Don’t be afraid of the storm, I know how to amuse girls of your age. How about a game of checkers ?” he said. “All right,” said Diane. Although she knew she would never be able to concentrate on the game. Just as the game was ending, they heard a truck drive into the yard. Diane bounded for the door, threw her arms around her father and sobbed, “I’m sorry, I’ll never do it again.” “Do what, Diane?” exclaimed mother. Just then Mr. Brady came into the room from the kitchen. “You must be Mr. and Mrs. Reedy?” he said. “I’m Jim Brady. I’m a plain clothes detective from the border patrol. I came to warn you that a very dangerous armed murderer has escaped from across the border and your house is the first on the route we expected him to take. Since Diane was alone, I felt that I should stay with her until you people came home.” “You have our warmest thanks, Mr. Brady,” said Diane’s father. “Would you care for a snack before you go ?” “No, thanks, but I’ll accept a push with that truck outside. My car is bogged about half a mile down the road.” Mr. Brady left with Mr. Loomis, and about ten minutes later the phone rang. Diane’s Four father answered it, and she was standing near enough to overhear the conversation. It was the Border Police checking to see if they had seen a stranger in their area. Mr. Reedy said, “No, but thanks to your plain clothes detective, Mr. Brady, who just left, my daughter was well protected while we were away for a few hours. There was a pause at the other end of the phone. Then she heard the man say, “We have no Mr. Brady. Me must be with the state police. However keep all doors and windows locked . . . the man is armed . . . and dangerous and a vicious murderer . . . he has an ugly red scar running down his . i r’-t e; ebrow to the crown of his head.” A WANDERER’S AUTUMN DAY Fausto DiTullio ’66 If you have never been in Maddox County, Vermont, in the fall don’t read this. If you do, the temptation to go there will be too great for anyone to resist. The rolling countryside stretches for as far as the eye can see. You won’t see any of Man’s cold con- crete jungles here. What you will see is Nature at her most colorful best. When you look at the countryside for the first time, it actually seems to be aflame with vibrant red color. The grazing cows in the pasture move slowly, eating a mouthful of grass every few feet or so. Groups of people talk casually as they slowly walk to Mass. Whatever they do, the people of this small Vermont town do it slowly and without any commotion. These people have never known time schedules or the five o’clock rush hour. How much better this world would be if people just took their time, instead of running pell-mell to work, or to a golf game, or to a P.T.A. meeting. The wind was crisp this October morning, just crisp enough to remind everybody that winter was approaching. As I looked toward the lake, I could see ripples of water being pushed across by the wind. A month from now children would be skating happily across its frozen waters, but now it served as the best place for trout fishing in Ver- mont. As I walked toward the covered bridge which spanned the lake, I could see golden- cclored leaves dancing madly through the air. as though having their last fling before bedding down for the winter. The high, clear blue sky of this Autumn day clashed beauti- fully with the bright orange countryside. I surprised a squirrel as he was in the process of gathering his food for the cold winter months. But just then the people began filing out of the church heading toward home for the turkey dinner which is a traditional Sunday meal to these people of Linden, Vermont. Approaching the covered bridge, I spotted a handful cf small beats, their passengers eagerly awaiting a Big One. Crossing over the bridge, I headed for the hill which over- looked the neighboring countryside. The wind was a little nippier and a little crisper at the top. To my east could be seen the checkerboard fields of corn, and to my west the outline of the Green Mountains, some of which already were covered with fluffy white snow. Looking at the outline of the moun- tains against the big autumn sky gives you a wandering feeling, that feeling that makes you hungry for travel and adventure. Here Five a man could be alone with his thoughts. Here one could get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I stayed atop that hill for many hours just staring at that endless countryside thinking that once all of our country was just this beautiful. But of course man and all his progressive ideas changed all that, and now only a few places remain for nature to put on her once-a-year technicolor spectacular. I was shocked into reality by a shrieking voice of a woman calling someone to dinner. And as I got up and turned around, my heart skipped a beat seeing that sun set just behind that faraway mountain, which seemed to be calling my name, calling me to follow the sun. And hearing it call me, I knew what I had to do. ONE AUTUMN NIGHT Donald Tims ’65 David and Jane both felt wonderful as they walked to the car from the dance in the gym. They had every reason to be happy, for they were young and they had love, the happiest, most wonderful thing in their existence. The night was calm; a full moon looked down upon a comfortably cool night lovely with autumnal splendor. The dance, one of the first of their senior year, had gone perfectly, and both were at peace with the world as they walked hand in hand. David and Jane had been going “steady” for eight months now and were devoted to each other. Their parents and friends did not take them seriously, but they did not care; they had each other and they planned for the years ahead. The couple entered the car, and David started up the highway towards their usual spot for after-date snacks. They talked about what they would do in the years to come after David had gone to college, and they were married. Not too much was said, though; mostly, they simply rode along in silence, sharing that very special closeness of spirit which only those who love can experi- ence. They stopped for a red light and took advantage of the respite from driving to Sik share a short, tender kiss. When driving, however, David kept his attention focused upon what he was doing. He prided himself upon being a safe driver; his father realized this and thus had no compunction about letting him use the car. Jane laid her head back upon the seat and gazed at the stars through the window. She felt a warmth and tenderness for David un- like any feeling she had ever known. A sensitive girl, she had a deep need for af- fection, which David fulfilled. David glanced over at her lovely profile and beautiful blonde hair and felt his heart leap within him. They were very much in love. Suddenly, as they were driving along at a conservative speed, a racing car headed in the opposite direction on the highway went out of control and hurled across the narrow grass dividing strip straight at them. David swerved shaply to the right to avoid a head-on collision; but the other vehicle smashed into the rear corner of his car and sent it skidding across the road. David had a swimming impression of fear as the car swept off the road, through a guard rail, and down an embankment. He caught a fleeting glimpse of trees rushing up at them; the last thing he heard before blacking out was Jane’s calling his name. A swirling mist shrouded his brain, but through the mist, pain penetrated. He opened his eyes but could see only vaguely at first. His hand went down to his stomach and felt 5 PETE 0 KILLS... a torn, warm and wet mass of flesh into which a segment of the steering wheel pro- truded. His right leg, which he could not move, was just a center of throbbing pain. Oddly, he could feel no pain in his stomach, in fact, there was no feeling at all. His head was clearing a little now, as he heard voices shouting and saw lights. Then one over- powering thought went through his mind, Jane! He looked up and saw to his horror that she had smashed up against the wind- shield ; her head and shoulders were not visible for they had gone through. He tried to call out her name, but instead he vomited and blood ran from his nose and mouth. David was vaguely aware of this as, mercifully, he passed out. He was suspended in a world of semi- consciousness. Everything seemed unreal, as if he were somewhere else observing all that was happening. He was half aware of being enclosed in an oxygen tent, beyond which he knew were doctors, his family, and a priest, all of whom were praying. There was no pain now, but David knew somehow that he was near death and that only his strong will to live for Jane was holding him. David’s older brother entered the room. “How is he doing?” he inquired. “The doctor says he has a very good chance cf pulling through,” his father an- swered. “How is Jane?” The boy looked down. “She is dead. There was nothing the doctors could do.” Although he could not distinguish between the voices and although the individual sounds of words meant nothing to him, David knew that Jane was gone. It was not necessary to strain so hard now. He murmured her name. “He said something!” David’s mother cried. “He said, ’Jane,” said one of the doctors. It was easy now. David felt calm and warmth settled upon him. He lost all con- tact with the hospital room and those within it. The darkness was creeping up faster now, and David knew without thinking about it that it would not be long. The doctor turned off the oxygen and drew up the sheet. A JUST REWARD George Harrington ’66 Calmly the river flowed with hardly a ripple, reflecting the stately pines and spruces which hugged the shore. From the top of the cliff overlooking this placid scene stood Pierre Laval, who was wanted for murder by the police. Three months before, he had broken out of prison, and with only his animal instinct for survival had lived in the vast Canadian wilderness. He had managed to sustain his hunger from day to day by eating wild plants and fish, but was rapidly growing weak. If only he could find some way to leave this godforsaken territory! A thought struck him, gazing madly at the river. He would build a canoe as the Indians had taught him when he was a child and flee down the river. Gathering the neces- sary materials, he stripped an ermine-white birch of its bark and set to work. In a few days he had built the canoe. While he was testing the boat’s ability to hold water, a large wave suddenly rocked it and Pierre was thrown headlong into the canoe. As he floated downstream, the dazed man realized that the oars had been left on shore, and that he had no control over the flimsily built craft. Gaining momentum now, the canoe began to sway from side to side as it rushed into the seething white foam of water which Pierre knew to be the dreaded rapids. The churn- ing, bubbling mass enveloped the canoe several times and then, as suddenly as they appeared, the rapids were past. Tranquil waters lay ahead of the canoe. The unsuspecting Laval was overwhelmed with a feeling of relief, for now he would be free. But around the next bend, his smile was turned into a look of profound horror. Be- yond the blue stretch of water a vast expanse of woodlands! The river had disappeared! As he neared the falls Pierre Laval gave a final shrill scream which was muffled by the roar of the thunderous waters, .and the canoe slipped over. yy yy Ay Seven A PLACE TO DREAM George Harrington ’66 There is a spot deep in the north woods where the tall, venerable spruce grows. Its ancient limbs reach out to the sky and the merry winds whistle cheerful tunes in its boughs. A fresh, green scent fills the air, and the wild, free birds soar and dip in the radi- ant sunlight. A babbling stream glides smoothly by, filled with colorful rainbow trout. In the cool of the evening the night- hawk and whippoorwill chirp to their heart’s content, and all is peaceful. The dreamy nocturne of the creaking trees lulls the creatures of the forest to sleep and the great, yellow nimbus of the rising moon lends an air of solemnity to the scene. MY NIECE Ann Marie DeBueriis ’65 “Will you ple-e-e-ase leave me alone? I have work to do. How would you like a good slap? Go ahead and tell your mother! It’ll be worth it!” Oh, what pesky things they be! Nieces! Worse than younger sisters these gremlins are! Every time I want her, she’s not around. Oh! but when I don’t want her, why then she sticks to me as a bee sticks to honey. One example is when I have a date, worth it!” Oh, what pesky things they be- self and her army of little monsters, whom she calls friends, right on the front steps, defiantly daring him to jump over them. Getting out of the house is just as bad. She actually becomes indignant if I ask her to move. “You always have to bother me. Why don’t you knock me over or something? All right, I’ll move.” I just smile and think nasty thoughts while I turn scarlet as Hester’s A. But no matter how angry I may get, one word will soften me. “Auntie!” A PASSING George Harrington ’66 In the shade of the massive elm, on the luxuriant green carpet of velvet that was grass, the old man heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that his life was coming to an end. To him, death was like the west wind—soft, warm, and gentle, arriving for a fleeting moment, and vanishing into nothingness. His ancient, lined face was as a leaf which, after it has been young and full of life and color slowly fades into oblivion, from spring to summer to autumn. How tired he felt, and so very old. Drowsily he listened to the faint murmur of the distant brook, so peaceful and serene. The trilling of the birds high in the the tree lulled him to sleep, and he did not awaken. “OH HOW GREAT DEMOCRACY IS!” Dale Triber ’65 Down Down Down went poor Nikita! Into the abyss of Russian oblivion. No more will his newly polished shoes be seen banging on the desks of the assembly hall at the U. N. No more will he be able publicly to scoff out Red China, Disneyland, or drink champagne from a dancing slipper. No more will he march arm in arm with beaming cosmonauts down the center of Red Square. No more will he have the pleasure f embracing Fidel Castro in a monstrous bear hug. No more will he reign Supreme! Eight Oc itciial A NEW POLITICAL POLL Allan Howe ’65 This election year has been indelibly marked, not by the victories of certain candi- dates, but by the mistakes of the pollsters. I am sure that many people stayed up late on the nights of the big primaries, not to find out who won, but to see how wrong the pollsters were. Polls definitely can affect the outcome of an election. These miscalculations by the pollsters give the underdog an advantage. When the polls show him trailing miserably and not likely to carry a single district, the candidate can boldly proclaim, “They were wrong in New Hampshire! They were wrong in Oregon! They were wrong in California! They will be wrong on November 3!!” A lopsided poll can give the leading candi- date so much confidence that he and his staff sit by and wait for the day of victory to come, while the opponent and his crew work dili- gently to prevent this fiasco. Many people will believe that their favorite candidate will win handily and that their vote will not matter, so they will stay home on election day. Also, a large segment of the American people always vote for the underdog no matter who he is. The sympathies of these people are aroused by the “poor loser . Keeping in mind these disadvantages and the failures of the past, I, destined to take my place in history with George Gallup and Lou Harris, have devised what I believe is the foolproof political poll. I think that this poll adequately reflects the will of the people and that it will revolutionize polltaking. This poll will be known as the “bumper-sticker poll . After extensive research on the Southeast Expressway, the Central Artery and the Mid-Cape Highway and after scrutinizing the bumpers of Chevrolets, Chryslers and Cadillacs, I bring you the results of this poll. Please bear in mind that I was completely unbiased in taking this poll and the results do not necessarily reflect my opinion. Here are my predictions for the national and high state political offices. For the Presidency, it seems that Lyndon Johnson will carry Massachusetts but not by a landslide. Barry Goldwater shows surpris- ing strength. “AuHO stickers are riding around to the delight of all chemistry teach- ers, but they are not quite as numerous as the “L.B.J. for the U.S.A. stickers. I cannot make a prediction on the U. S. Senate race, because I have seen no stickers for either Ted Kennedy or Howard Whit- more. Perhaps neither will win. In the gubernatorial race, Francis X. Bel- lotti should win the governor’s chair easily. John Volpe shows very little bumper strength. Richardson should beat Costello for lieu- tenant governor, but most of Richardson’s support comes from the Mid-Cape Highway. Although it seems illogical that we should have a Democrat for governor and a Repub- lican for lieutenant governor, the bumpers can’t be wrong. Brooke will be the only other Republican to win statewide office. He should beat Hen- nigan handily since I saw only one Hennigan sticker and that was on a hot rod. Those are my predictions on the Nov. 3 election. If they are right, I will have ob- servers on every highway in the nation in 1968. If they are wrong, I will join the ever- increasing group of red-faced pollsters on November 4. Nine DISASTER DRILL Dale Triber ’65 There we were scattered around the floor of 149, “Please, make sure you tell them I’m back here. Remember I’m supposed to be in shock, and I can’t speak! If I just lie here without making a sound they’re sure to pass over me.” “So what, you think you’ve troubles! My whole left hand is radioactively burned and it’s sweating buckets from the moulage. I forgot all those method acting tricks, and I’m finding it very difficult to come out with any really convincing screams.” “Will you please start screaming so they’ll be sure to find us, and please DON’T forget to tell them I’m back here in shock.” This may sound rather comical but it was serious business on October the eighth. There were scenes like this throughout the east building of the High School. On that day Somerville High School participated in a city- wide civil defense alert. Fifty-five students had been chosen to act as casualties in a simulated plane crash at the High School. The whole student body, excluding these fifty-five, was evacuated from the building shortly after 10:00 o’clock. Within minutes after the alert was sounded fire engines, police cars, and ambulances had rushed to the campus. The fire department was assigned to locate and extricate the fifty-five “injured” pupils. Each one of these students supposedly had a specific injury. Some wore moulages, plastic coverings that look like real injuries, while others were painted up with lipstick to look as though they had bad cuts and lacerations. The firemen found the students, and got them out of the building according to the seriousness of their injury. Those who had leg injuries or were very seriously hurt, such as my pal at the back of the room who was in shock, were taken out on stretchers, while others were helped out by the firemen. The students were placed in ambulances and rushed to the two Somerville hospitals. Each hospital had a special disaster area set up with all the necessary medical instru- ments and preparations to take care of the wounded. Doctors had been called in as if for an actual emergency. The staffs examined, diagnosed, and prescribed for each of the fifty-five “casualties.” The pupils were taken care of according to the gravity of their injury. Those who had only small injuries were given first aid and discharged, while the more serious casualties were admitted to the hospital and put in wards. After everyone had been patched up, the students congregated to have lunch at the two hospitals. Somerville is one Greater Boston city that has a complete and efficient disaster plan. This drill was carried out to see just how effectively the community’s emergency facil- ities could operate in case of such an emergency. For those of us who actually took part in this mock disaster it was an exciting and informative experience. The entire school has been commended by the press and T.V. for their maturity in the face of so serious a drill. Some of us even got a chance to watch ourselves on television because all three Boston networks had film coverage of the drill. Everyone certainly wants to take their hats off to the firemen, policemen, and the doctors and nurses of the Somerville and Central Hospitals who did such a magnificent job in making the drill realistic and success- ful. Thanks also to the hospital dieticians who made those delicious, unlikely, hospital meals, such as spaghetti, and submarine sandwiches. Eleven NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIP QUALIFYING TEST Somerville High is proud to call attention to the four seniors who have been honored for their high performance on the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test which was given last spring. Gerard Cavanaugh, Allan Howe, and An- drew D'Agostino each received a formal Letter of Commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, for their high scores. In addition to the three Letters of Com- mendation, Somerville High also had one student Benjamin Levy in the semi-finals. We are all proud of these four seniors who have brought credit to S.H.S. THE NATIONAL CONVENTION OF STUDENT COUNCILS The National Convention of Student Coun- cils is held as an effort to unite the individual Student Councils into a closer bond. We at Somerville High School are proud to think that Ricky Lepore, president of our own Stu- dent Council, was able to attend such an en- joyable and educational affair through his office as President of the Student Councils of Eastern Massachusetts. As luck would have it, Rick did not have to travel far, for this year’s convention was held in Bangor, Maine. The date of departure was Sunday, June 28. By mid-afternoon he had registered at the Municipal Auditorium in Bangor and was on his way to the home of Dr. Wadsworth, his host for five days. To end a hectic first day, Rick, along with his three roommates from Texas, Virginia and Staten Island attended a cook-out. By Monday morning the Convention had gotten into full swing. In the Memorial Gym at the University of Maine, five-hundred dele- gates gathered for the first General Session. These delegates, comprised chiefly of district officers from all fifty states, Mexico and England, were cordially greeted by Gov. John II. Reed’s introductory speech. After this hour and a half “ice-breaking” cere- mony, the delegates emerged as friends, not as strangers. At Tuesday’s General Session an impres- sive speech was delivered by Count Adle- mann, the head of N.A.T.O. The delegates were then divided into discussion groups which discussed ways of improving Student Council relations. This was followed by a pleasurable bus trip to Bar Harbor, Maine and that night, a cook-out and dance were held for the delegates. F. C. Stukenbroken, agent of the F.B.I., was the guest speaker at Wednesday’s Session. Again there were discussion groups but the topic was evaluating the role of the Student Council and ways to improve school and council spirit. As an added attraction, Bangor High School put on its “Talent Show” featuring a segment of “Alice in Wonder- land” which was the same act that had been highly praised at the World’s Fair. The president of the student councils of Maine opened the fourth and final General Session on Thursday. At this meeting it was announced that next year’s National Con- vention would be held in Kentucky and the following year’s in the state of Washington. At the conclusion of the meeting, everybody crossed and joined hands in a “friendship circle” signifying a union, strength, and wealth that money does not give. Twelve BOYS’ STATE —1964 Benjamin N. Levy ’65 Massachusetts Boys’ State of 196-4 was held from Friday, June 19, to Saturday, June 27. Its purpose, as stated in the Americanism Manual of The American Legion, was “to educate our youth in the duties, rights, and responsibilities of American citizenship.” To effect this end, the local American Legion posts sponsored Salvatore Trapani, Gerard Cavanaugh, Kent Solberg, and Benjamin Levy to attend this 18th session at the Am- herst campus of the University of Massachu- setts. We were struck upon our arrival in Am- herst by the massiveness of the campus, so big and so green. And in the week to come this huge size impressed us even more as we hiked all over it in the oppressive 100 heat. This did not deter us, however, from gaining much knowledge about the law and govern- ment in the Commonwealth. On the first evening, Senator and former Secretary of State Joseph Ward administered the pledge to the Boys’ Staters. On subse- quent evenings we heard then Department Commander of the A. L., Thomas Abely; State Commissioner cf Education, Owen B. Kiernan; Chairman of the Auburn School Committee, Robert LeBaire; the late State Auditor, Thomas Buckley; Tufts University Dean Richard A. Kelley; a West Point cadet; and then Registrar of Motor Vehicles, James Lawton. All the fellows were divided into cities or towns and counties. The quartet from S.H.S. found themselves in Eisenhower and Mac- Arthur Counties and the Cities of Aisne, Bel- leau, and Normandy. The first order of busi- ness was a division of the entire group into two political parties, the Federalists and the Nationalists. Then came the election of city officials, followed by the formation of the county and state governments. Emotion reached a i cak at the party nominating con- ventions, which were held coincidentally on the same day as the Massachusetts Demo- cratic Convention in Pittsfield, a short dis- tance away. Somerville did fine,with Sal’s be- coming a Governor’s Councillor, Gerry’s elec- tion as Mayor of Belleau, Kent’s nomination as city party chairman, and Ben’s becoming layout editor of the daily Boys’ State news- paper. High point of the week was the visit of the Governor of Girls’ State, which had been held the week before. Our governor pinned a corsage on her, as a gift from all the boys. She received a standing ovation and gave us a very informative talk on patriotism. This event occasioned much preparation, includ- ing the washing of several hundred Boys' State T-shirts!! The 1964 Boys’ State was an excellent opportunity for us to learn much about our state and local governments and about our privileges under the law and responsibilities as citizens. It is really too bad that more bays could not have attended. We would like to thank the Legion posts who sponsored us and express our hope that they will be able to send many more boys in the future. MASSACHUSETTS GIRLS’ STATE Dianne Clark ’65 Massachusetts Girls’ State is sponsored annually by The American Legion Auxiliary. A high school junior from each city or town is sent by the local Auxiliary Unit. It is held each year at the campus of Bridgewater Teachers’ College for one week in June. “Learn by Doing” is the motto and the girls certainly had a busy schedule of things to do. Governments were formed on the town or city, county, and state levels. Each girl was assigned a city, a county, and as a member of one of the parties. I was assigned to the City of Tolerance, County of Understanding and I was a member of the Federal Party. In the city elections held the second day I was de- feated for the office of Mayor, but appointed the Chief of Police by a very gracious op- ponent. After that election was over, we had t) elect party officials. Then we had to elect our state officials. Judy Broder of South- bridge was elected governor in a campaign that the Republicans and Democrats would have had to try hard to beat. When rallies and Thirteen campaign speeches were over, we settled down to business. The Senate and the House of Representatives, to which I was elected, passed bills making college tuition tax de- ductible. Although the week was filled by elections and state business, we had many interesting speakers. Among them were judges, lawyers, teachers, nurses, senators, representatives, Peace Corps workers, aviators, officials of states, cities and towns, and many others. When not involved in a heated campaign or listening to lectures, our time was spent working on the paper, singing in the glee club, or swimming in the pool. Although there was always plenty to do, we had time to make new friends from every corner of the state. The best time to talk with girls was after the lights were sup- posed to be out and you were supposedly in bed. This time was also used for the studying that was to have been done hours before. Sneaking down to the recreation room to get Cokes and cookies at 12:30 without waking the counselors was one feat that everyone tried but without much success. Friday morning we were presented with diplomas and the girls who would represent Massachusetts at Girls’ Nation were chosen. Awards were presented, then it was time to say good by. The only bad features are that more girls can’t attend and that the week was over too soon after it began. OPINIONS ON THE NEW YORK WORLD’S FAIR Nancy Wiswall ’65 In the newspapers and magazines this past year, there has been a lot of material about the 1964-1965 World's Fair in Flushing, New York. Many of the articles have criti- cized the Fair, as have many people whom I have discussed it with. I spent four days this past July at the Fair, and I found very little to criticize and very much to praise. First I admired the tremendous job that Robert Moses, creator of the Fair, and his associates did. After Mr. Moses had been elected to serve as head of the project, he learned that the Fair Planning Committee had decided to erect only one huge circular building in which the various entrants would rent a section. How very glad I am that Mr. Moses persuaded them to do otherwise! The Fair was laid out as a well-planned city. Seen from the sky, it presented an exotic pattern of circular greens, fountains, and streets, several of the streets leading to the center of attraction, the Unisphere. Critics have disparaged the architecture of the Fair, saying it is just a mumble-jumble of buildings representing no specific culture. It wasn’t supposed to. Each pavilion repre- sents something distinct. Architectural unity was not intended. Why should it be! The buildings, many of them ultra-modern, have a grandeur and beauty of their own. The Fourteen United States Pavilion is a fine example of this. It is a large rectangular building of blue- green glass raised from the ground and sup- ported from the center by four great columns. A majestic piece indeed! The exhibits themselves manifest great creativeness. There are all types of esca- lators, running ramps, moving stages, and seats to propel the audience from stage to stage during the shows many of the indus- trial companies offer. The exhibits of General Motors, Chrysler, Bell Telephone, and Du Pont, to mention a few, are just as fine as was anticipated. Walt Disney had a large share in such exhibits as Ford, General Electric, and Pepsi-Cola, which features a show for UNICEF with a musical presentation of chil- dren’s dances from many lands. That was one of my favorites. Part of the Coca-Cola exhibit is a ham radio station bearing the special call sign K2US. Radio Hams from all over the world congregated there to operate one of the three sets and sign their names to the guest book. Radio Hams tend to be friendly, but those at the World’s Fair were especially so. There were many productions that particu- larly interested me and I would like to speak of a few more of these. Though not a Catho- lic, I felt tremendous awe at the Vatican Pavilion as I rode through and saw the im- mortal “Pieta” of Michaelangelo. During a rainstorm one afternoon, I spent a restful and rewarding hour in the Mormon Pavilion, a replica of the famous Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, Utah. Exhibits such as IBM were able to impart knowledge without seeming stuffy. The Thailand Pavilion in- trigued me, especially when I heard it had been constructed in Thailand, taken apart, and brought over here to be reconstructed. It was a shame that some of the exhibits ran into financial difficulties. One example was the Belgian Village with cobblestone streets and whitewashed stores and houses. Since its cost had been underestimated it still was not finished when I was there. One could enjoy spectacular overall views of the Fair by a Monorail trip, a Swiss Sky ride, or an ascent to the top of the 220’ New York Observation Towers. Numerous persons complained about the long lines in front of many exhibits. It is true that you sometime had to wait forty- five minutes to get in. What do you expect when there are 200,00 passing through every day? Everything was done for your comfort; the lines were arranged so that you were able to move up every few minutes, and shade and seats were provided for many. People, even little children, seemed to sense this, and no one complained or nushed. T o the impression that even with so manv nam- ing through the exhibits, you wew r ofo with courtesy and were mode to «1 authorities were happv that everv-r « o � � «• had come. The ground-? nn'i — immaculately kept. Seldom w«« — one distracting piece of pane� anv -o There were rest rooms, food cen+e™ phone booths, and numerous 1 attractively and strategically ar-n- - Fair. And loudspeakers played soft mnd a1’ day and night until the Fair closed at M d- night. As far as money was concerned, you could spend a little or a lot. Prices varied: the in- dustrial exhibits were free. I came preoared to spend freely and found that I spent less than I had intended! It is a Fair of a lifetime, and I felt that it was not wasting monev to spend enough to do all that I had time for. What impressed me most was the atmos- phere and the people themselves. It was a festive atmosphere, and this festive attitude did not wear off as the Fair went on. Nothin seemed tired or worn. All was continually new and exciting, and even those who worked there everyday seemed to look alive. Per- haps they were refreshed by the people them- selves. For the majority of people came with a sense of wonder and happiness at being there. They saw the magnificent buildings everywhere for many, many acres, and they were visibly impressed. I have heard several people say, “I have no interest in seeing the World’s Fair.” I pity those people. Thev must have lost a sense of adventure and win- der in their lives. As for me, the World’s Fair was one of my greatest thrills.

SENIOR CLASS CHATTER Here we are, the Class of 1965, entering our last year at Somerville High. The present school term marks the last time we shall all be together, the last Tech Tourney (we hope they win it for good old ’65), the last series of Gymnasium Dances, the last time most of us will be burning teachers in effigy! It marks our Senior Prom, Class Day, Gradu- ation, and a series of many, many joyful reunions. As Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote for his golden reunion of Harvard College, 1829 Class: “Yes, we’re boys,-—always play- ing with tongue or with pen,— And I some- times have asked,—Shall we ever be men? Shall we always be youthful, and laughing, and gay, Till the last dear companion drops smiling away? Then here’s to our boyhood, its gold and its gray ! The stars of its winter, the dews of its May! And when we have done with our life lasting toys, ' Dear Father, take care of Thy children, THE BOYS.” Amen. The kiddies in room 102 want to know whom Dolly meets on the second floor of the west building each day? Why is a certain boy in that room always late in the morning? And why does Brian come down at 8:25 and talk in front of the room? Tommy Belhumer is the only boy in history to be sent to Siberia at least once a day. Room 141 announces its proctor, Martha Barrow, and bankers, Richard Ahern and Donna Allen. This athletic room possesses Bill Adams, hockey; George Bellefontaine, foot- ball; and John Anastas, track. John is also a band member and has been giving Sandra Albani lessons. Who knows, he may be hear- ing bells instead of drums! Miss Jackson refers to the first and second rows as the island, and if they don’t keep quiet it will be Wake Island. Oh, well. R.I.P. Class Proctors for mobile one-four-three are Elise Breen and Lawrence Bonugli. Bank- ers for that room are Lynda Blackall and Marcia Blake. Football quarterback Ron Blakney is cheered on by Lynda Blackall. It seems that 143 has the whole Cabral family in its chambers. The happiest room in the school, 147, ap- plauds the following chosen few: proctor, Tony Cararella; treasurers, Linda Campbell and Lorrie Camerano; Red Cross represent- ative, Donna Calder. The room wishes John Ciccariello of the football team good luck. Gazing about 149, one finds two natives of the gridiron, Co-capt. Ed Cullen and tackle Bob Daley. Proctors are David Cramer and Felicia Costanza; bankers are Richard Cole- man and Andrew D’Agostino. What’s with the desks in 149? Could it be someone has destructive temper-tantrums? Never! For 152 this is the year of the Praying Mantis! They’re having a contest to name him; any suggestions are welcome. Who said to call him Ringo? Notables there are Car- men Gaudet, Red Cross representative: Carol Sixteen Fugarazzo and Diane Guidicianni (oh! those Irish names!), treasurers; Helen Glennon and Joseph Giusti, proctor and assistant. Paul and Kathy have been passing notes back and forth; probably just math notes. Who is Carol Fugarazzo’s new flame? The gang in 241 are reaping the benefits of seniors: Trig., U. S. History and . . . Driver Ed. Better call the Highway Patrol! JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS — CLASS OF '65 Eloinc Serpo, Sondro Albani, Joseph DiSarcino, Nancy Morcotti Responsibility has come to Gordy Kierstead —he is now on the Student Patrol. The room is certainly not provincial, what with its own Tom Jones! Chris Lee keeps banging her desk top on Donald King. Conflict of inter- ests, Chris? Never! Guess which homeroom received no failure slips. 241? Wrong guess. They are hoping to see everyone in the next issue, however, with 33 max credits. 241? Wrong guess. Teacher’s li’l darlin’s from 243 are proud to have Captain Ricky Lepore as one of them. The proctor is Ben Levy; treasurers are Honest Janet Magnusen and Upright Betty Lucca. Why does Gayle stare into space in the homeroom? Why does Skippy always laugh during the reading of the bulletin? All those in 244 hope this year will be a memorable one for all. Frank Maniglia of that room has been doing a wonderful job on the football team. Of course, Cliff McRae is always there beating the drums to cheer S.H.S. on to victory. Congratulations are due to Nancy Marcotti and Mary McCullough for the splendid job they did at the football rally. Lois McCrensky did a fine performance in the disaster, too. The chief celebrity in 245 is the teacher. (Look at all the A’s!). Class treasurer is Judith Medugno, treasurers are Delores Mendonca and Patricia Meyerhoff. Adrian O'Brien of 247 is the tall man on the football team; 6’4” worth. What boy is disgusted because he has not dated since last May? Does he kiss and tell? Why do Joanne O’Brien’s eyes sparkle so brightly? Could it be she uses Mr. Clean? After a summer of leisure, the folks in 250 are ready to fall back into their little world of study. Leading the happy group is Franny Rodriguez, propped up by several pillows at the wheel of a driver education car. Class treasurer is Joanne Rogers, Cyrus Richard and Katherine Saras are treasurers. Who is the Cinderella who always tiptoes in at 8:29? Finally, they want to welcome this year’s sophs; but please, sophomores, leave your spurs outside! The teacher started off the year fine for 251 by saying, “I think I’m going to like my homeroom this year!” Elizabeth Singletary and Jean Smith are money collectors; George Skcpelites and Elaine Serpa are proctors. The class would like to know what Wycliffe Stan- ford and Robert Sheridan talk about so often. The “Trypousis to Zucco” homeroom, 254, winds up the Chatter by presenting its proc tor, Paula VozzeMa, and bankers, Joan Whit- ney and Dorothy Wallace. They have the only licensed ham radio operator at S.H.S. who happens to be a girl: Nancy Wiswall. Who in that room moans when school closes for the day? When will Mr. Berra ask Bob Zaya the question to which he knows the answer? Why are there so many guidance slips delivered to that room each week? Come now, they’re not that bad, are they? Is it true that Rosey Wallace and Jean Vacca intend to make hydrogen at Talent Night? Well, that is all the Chatter for now. En- joy the year, beware of senioritis, and, above all, HAVE FUN!!

JUNIOR CLASS CHATTER Well, it took a whole summer to recover from our Sophomore year but we’re back again and ready to hand down all our knol- edge to this year’s Sophomores, such as, where the elevator is and the shortcut from room 27 to room 347. But first here’s some of our latest news flashes. Hi Kids! room 127 here. After the long summer vacation, was everyone eager to come back and buckle down to work? Hope so. If anyone is passing 127 and happens to have an extra piece of gum would you please donate it to the “Gum for Maureen Donegan Fund! Dexter, who helps keep 127 “quiet seems to be a lefty now. Darlene, did Marty really break his arm? Gee, you shouldn’t have hit him so hard! By the way, does any- one know what happened to the other half of the DiPinto twins? It looks like Timmy has a new hobby—homework. Now that Bruce has had a homeroom change, what girl stays on the second floor at recess? And good ol’ George is our official locker locker. So until next issue. Byie. Greetings from the gang in room 214. School started off with some remarks like, “School-Humph,” but most of us are happy to be back. Our class bankers are Pamela Griffin and Lorraine Goggin. Is it because of Stephen Gonchar that Marlene Gormady is class proctor? The Red Cross representative is Linda Goss. We had two classmates in the mock disaster, Stephen Gonchar with cuts and burns and Emil Goduti with a fractured arm. At recess could the clicking in the front of the room be coming from the taboo machine? This is room 324 starting the year with Barbara Pritchard as Class Proctor and Red Cross representative; Jacqueline Rando, Treasurer; and last but not least, Frederick Rackmil and Roger Pike, Class Bankers. We are proud to have with us Kenny Pondelli, our football star, and Daniel Quaranto who is on the Cross Country Track Team. “Is it true that blondes have more fun?” Why not ask the attractive blonde in our room? Who are the two girls from 321 that are just dying to be transferred to 324, and why? Was it because of the teacher or the boys? It is just talk that goes on between Paul Pignone and Joanne Poplowski? Also, who is it that Bar- bara Pisco is always running to meet? Right now we’re having a very close race between Janice and Roberta for the most talkative girl in the room. As it stands right now Roberta is in the lead. We’ll see you next edition and give you the results of the race. Room 29 reporting. This looks like an exciting year. We just finished our class elec- tions for proctor. Marilyn Caswell came out on top as class proctor and Michael Carlson as her assistant, but one question; why were hearts drawn around their names on the ballots? Tell us how many girls Sammy Cam- ilio took to the football game? What did you say is the penalty for sleeping in class. Eighteen And how many failure slips did James Byrnes get? Five? But he only has four subjects! Well that’s all for now from the class the teacher is trying to make into ladies and gentlemen. Here’s room 30 signing in with a big hello to all you Sophomores. We’re proud to intro- duce to you Marie Ciano who was elected as representative to the Student Council. Con- gratulations Marie! We’d also like to extend a warning to the whole student body. Beware of future women drivers, such as Rosemarie Chillemi and Dena Cook. Good luck girls! Watch out pedestrians! Answers to the fol- lowing questions would be appreciated. Where does Mary Chandler go during recess? Why is David Collins always late on Mondays and Thursdays? What does Dena Cook carry around in her little black bag? Warning to Liz Taylor! Your future replacement is Bon- nie Chandler who recently was accepted by the Players Club. Until next issue, this is room 30 signing out. This is 129, the corner that’s isolated from the rest of the school, sending their greet- ings to this year’s students at S.H.S. We are happy to report that Linda Dutra and Philip Ercolini are our homeroom Proctors. We also congratulate Judy Fergasine and Karen Fel- con for being accepted at the Middlesex Tri- Hi-Y. Our classmates are wondering where Robert Fales disappears to at recess. Oh, well! Room 25 would like first of all, to say con- gratulations to our new Proctor, Eddie Bie- lecki and his assistant, Donna Beilis; the two room treasurers are Lucille Bertorelli and Geraldine Beaton; and our faithful Radiator reporter, Mike Belcher, in whom we put great trust and his charming assistant, Beverly Bain. We’re also proud owners of two members of the football team, Steve Bar- rasso and Tony Barilone; two cheerleaders, Lorraine Bond and Claire Birkenose; and a member of the school band, Walter Bennett. Here are a few questions we would like to have answered what’s with Robert Biondo and Linda Bailey? Homework tutoring, no doubt. Why is Miss Stack always giving seventh periods to the quiet corner down the back of the room ? Is it because Steve Barassi and Charlie Baily like to get people in trouble? If you have the answers to any of these questions, would you please bring them to room 25 any day after school. In all seriousness though, we would like to say that we think this year we really have a great bunch of kids in our homeroom and a won- derful homeroom teacher to go with it. Well time to blast off until next edition. SOPHOMORE EXECUTIVE BOARD — CLASS OF '66 Anne Moric Oflondo, Robert Curron, Potrick Anesse, Dione Robbins. For the first edition of the Radiator, 213 would like to tell you that our Bankers are Beatrice Flannery and Maureen Galvin and our Proctor is George Gagalis. We have also been wondering some things about our fellow classmates. Why is Maureen Galvin always complaining about buying tickets? For what reasons was Lea Gartland a “disaster” victim ? Why is the teacher always bothering Susan Fontana? We know she never talks. What keeps Gary Gillis from coming to school on time? Why did Maureen Galvin vote George Gagalis chief money collector and a certain Radiator reporter second? Finally, who’s the strange boy Ann Marie Franco’s always rushing to meet? Well, that’s the scoop for now. See you next edition. Hi, guys! This is 332, the “T-V and W” room coming in for a broadcast. Elected as the elite are: Mary Toscano, proct r; Cindy Walker, bank treasurer; Marilyn Tuccelli. cheerleader; and tied for the title of “Chem- istry lover” are Marcia Tucci and Linda Vieira. Congratulations to Boo Tra oucco, o 1 football hero, and to the two “fake-out Nineteen artists” of 332 for their performance in the “disaster.” We’re happy to report that our “victims” have been signed to make a movie on the basis of their performances in the Drill. Well anyway, here are a few questions to keep you busy. Where does Jeanie go at recess? Why is Lauren Travers so quiet? Who knows why Paul Van Steensburg is in no hurry to get to Chemistry? Well, this is Station 332 signing off. Don’t forget to tune in next issue; same time, same station . . . 4—3—2—1... OUT! 230 signing in. Here’s the rundown on our class representatives: James Mahoney and Richard McDonald, proctors; Rosalie Mam- one, Stephanie Machio, and Pauline Mar- inello, bank treasurers; and John Mahoney, a victim in the disaster drill held recently. Now its question and answer period. Is Pauline’s lollipop pin real? Did Stephanie really lock herself out of her own locker? If you learn any answers to these questions, report immediately to room 332, (we’re just dying to find out!). Until we meet again, ARRIVEDERCI and all that JAZZ! Greetings from 224. Among the celebrities in our room are: Irwin and Richard Keene, hardworking members of the track team; Anne Keith, a member of the Art Club. Since room 224 had a perfect bank record last year, the teacher hopes that we will maintain this distinction again this year. Our bankers, Marlene Jordan and Maureen Kelly, will have to start hopping. Eh, girls? Now here's a few questions from the “grapevine.” Who saw Mike Jacquos skate up a storm on CBS- TV’s “Wide World of Sports?” Who’s been fiddling with the “untouchable machines?” And why do we have to fit all the BIG books in one teeny weeny little drawer? See you next edition. Cheerio and good luck on report cards. Howdy, partners, from 234! It looks like we’re going to have quite a fight for class officers. A few candidates for class president are: Allan Nissenbaum, our favorite son; Ann Marie Orlando, a four-time credit maker; and Thomas Noonan, the dark horse in this race, presently acting as class treasurer. It locks like a toss-up. See you at the primary! Room 32 signing in. We extend our warm- est congratulations to Stephen Dellisola and John DeCrescenzo, new members of the S.H.S. football team; to Patricia Dell’Anno and Jean DiCostanzo, cheerleaders; and to Cecelia DeVellis, class proctor. October 6 was a happy birthday for the DiPinto twins, since one of their gifts was a ’64 Mustang. (Wow, what a birthday that was!). Here are a few brain-teasers. Who is the official win- dow closer? Why does Kenny DeVellis speak French to Janice Denaro? Why is John De Crescenzo always teasing Patricia Dell'Anno? Why is Franny DiChiappari always trying to Twenty CLASS OF '65 G.A.A. AWARD WINNERS change a $5.00 bill? Any answers to these questions will be appreciated. 234 signing out. Hi! 321 coming out of orbit. We picked up a few questions along the way. What half of a brother and sister likes a certain someone in the fourth row? And why is it that our boys are so forgetful when it comes to matters of money? Well, I guess that’s all for now. 321 “blasting off” till next issue! Greetings from room 331! Congratulations to Judith Thompson, our proctor and treas- urer, and Janice Teta, her assistant in both posts. Your friendly homeroom reporter is Joyce Surette. Here goes a great big HI from room 330! Nothing has changed much since last year. Billy Stathos is unanimously elected class clown again. By the way, Billy, if you let “you know who’’ find out you’re calling him “Super Mouse,” he might get awfully mad. Tina Strause is still going out with a some- one in room 331; likewise, Barbara Stasiak. A tip of the hat to: Robert Stone, our Red Cross representative; George Stavrinos, the best qualified proctor; and Christine Williams. Calling all midgets to room 24! We need you to fill in our undersized desks and chairs. Up until now we’ve only had one satisfied customer, Sandra Almeida. Louis Agusto and Salvatore Abramo have had their seats changed, so as to be protected from Anna Agliata. Carol Ascililo has been nicknamed “Askey.” We are all wondering just who Diane Amara is seeing in room 214. Never leave Marilyn Albury by her self on the top of the gym bleachers, because she’ll never come down alone! Three cheers for Robert Alosso, our class proctor, who hasn’t as yet collected 100% of the dues. Charles Ashby is acknowledged the brightest student in the room. Thomas Abisso is the No. 1 boy in the Junior Class, that is, alphabetically. The best trombone player in our homeroom is Paul Adams. Don’t forget midgets, first come, first served on our seats! We’ll be back next issue with more of Who’s Who in 24. Don’t miss it!

SOPHOMORE CHATTER After spending our first month (which we are told is the worst), at S.H.S., we feel we’re ready for almost any eventuality. So here we are the Class of ’67, making our first appearance in the Radiator, and we are look- ing forward to many more. In room 109 we are boasting that we have the best J.V.’s at S.H.S., Michael Burpee and Robert Burri. Everyone’s been asking where Carol Burton has been for the past two weeks! Does anyone know where Paul Brooks and Jimmy Bruston get all their energy? Eating Wheaties? 113 is one of the most athletic homerooms. Four of our boys are on the football squad. They are James Cormier, guard; Alan Con- stantino, end; Terry Collins, guard; and Andrew Connor, manager. These same athletes are also on our J.V. team with Terry Twcnty-onc Collins, captain. We even have a cheerleader, Lois Corbett. Among the homeroom officials are the bankers, Eleanor Corcoran and Lois Corbett. Room 45 here! We congratulate Linda Zani for making cheerleading. We wish Paul Zippolo and John Zanghetti good luck in the football season. Does anyone know why Anthony Zaferano is always borrowing things from Deborah Zuccaro? Room 105 congratulates Joanna Anastas for making the cheerleading squad, and Diane Bannister and Mary Ann Antunes for being elected to the Players’ Club. If anyone is a Dick Tracy, come down to 105 and help us in answering the following questions: Which boy does Vallia find so interesting in 105? What person keeps Tom Aylward laughing during homeroom period? What does Linda Babineau find so interesting to talk about during the homeroom period? Why does Connie blush when you mention the name Kevin? 106 signing in! Our efficient class treas- urers are Karen Bernard and Therese Bou- chie. Thanks to Paula Beninati for collecting class dues and Junior Red Cross money. Our room has four fine couriers, Rose Botello, Pamela Borella, Joanne Bishop, and Veronica Berry. We hope they continue their good work. Assistant reporter Robert Bolis is making out pretty well playing the trom- bone for the S.H.S band. Room 106’s club members include Paul Branagan, Radio Club; Paula Beninati, Dramatic Club and G.A.A. for swimming; and Ruth Bourgeois, G.A.A. for volleyball. Since we in room 206 are new at Somer- ville High, we don’t have any answers, but we certainly can raise some interesting questions. First of all—Who really owns the logan green coat that was switching hands so much the other day? Is there a girl in our room who thinks our blonde “casanova” is just the greatest? Room 114 here! We are represented on the J.V. team in football by Bob DelVecchio, playing offensive fullback and defensive cor- ner back, Doug DeCosta snaps the ball back on offense. Marcia Davidson participates in the half-time entertainment at the varsity games as a drum majorette. We in room 204 are proud of Linda Dona- hue who is a cheerleader for Somerville High and who is also a member of the Italian Club. We have a future teacher in our midst, Anne Dickerson, who’s in F.T.A. Our members in the Radio Broadcasting Club are John Drue and William Driscoll. In the athletic field we have Coreen DiRusso and Linda Dominick in G.A.A. Nancy Duggan is a participant in the Tri Hi Y. Last, but not least, are our Key- Club members, Kevin Doody and Leo Dona- hue. Room 210, saying hi, to all new Sopho- mores and old hands at Somerville High. Ap- pointed as our room treasurers were Anita Iappini and Carol Johanson. Just why does Carol charge up to the third floor each recess? Is it really just to see her girl friend, Susan? 302’s congratulations to Michele Letendre who is now a cheerleader and to Michael Lombard on the football team. Our class bankers are Rosemary Limbo and Elaine Letourneau. What certain black-haired boy named Michael leaves a certain redhead at her homeroom door in the morning, and where does he go at recess ? 344 here! Well, things appear to be AOK up on this hill. However we would like to contribute a few lines of jibberish. Our cheerleaders, Ginny Murray and Cathy Nei, cheered their first game which was the vic- tory over Medford. A few other announce- ments are, Pat O’Brien, the class clown, has entered the band (he blows his horn to let off class frustrations). Mary found her coat (which had been misplaced by someone . . . wonder who?). George is completely sur- rounded by girls and is constantly teased by them. For all you gum chewers of America, we are proud to announce that our own Betty Mustacio has won the nomination for queen of the gum chewers. 345 wonders if Barney Peters brought all his supplies to English, like a notebook, pen, paper clips, head, etc. And, who’s the teacher who, at 10:15, always says, “Quiet down, now, please.” According to 347’s latest poll, the students Twenty-two like S.H.S. and will like it even more when Ronald Reilly stops “accidentally” closing desk covers on our fingers. Our treasurer, who’s collecting class dues (or trying, any- way) is June Richardson. Well, it’s that time of year again, and to Antonia, “Are you going out again this year as shy (?) Little Bo Peep?” Our room is sending up a three man rocket. In it will be Dom Pugliares, Paul Redmond, and (by the request of the boys), Antonia. Reporting in from 349! We’re off to a good start this year with a couple of celebri- ties, Robert Rose is a wingbacker on our football team and his cousin Lois is a cheer- leader. As a word of warning, girls keep away from Ray Robinson. He collects the loops on the backs of blouses. Maybe he’s saving up for a yo-yo? Paul’s barber is still on vacation. Chris Rizzo claims he has too much energy and that he’s not busy enough. Wait ’til the teachers read this, Chris. 350 signing in. Well, here we are back for another great (?) year at school. Too bad we didn't all start the year off with a big bang! (Or was it crack, Stan?). Hey kids, do you think we’ll ever get all our class dues in? Congratulations to Louie Serpa for making the football team and to our bankers Diane Scneider and Christine Sartell. We’re all thinking about installing a bench down by 349 so that Francis Shea can spend his long hours down there in comfort. Rah! Rah! Rah! Room 351 is cheering for Joyce Smith and we are proud of her. Root for our teams, Joyce, and we’ll root for you. Good news! Stephen Straticoglu (known to his Western fans as Straty) made the varsity football team. Bad news! He tore a ligament in his leg and will not be able to play this year. The football team is missing a good man. We are proud to claim 100% paid-up dues. No doubt a few afternoon sessions with the homeroom teacher helped to make this achievement possible. This is room 352. Richard Thurber picked over the job. The two volunteers for room treasurers are Nancy Totosky and Sheila Thompson. It seems that every morning for room proctor, said he would gladly take before the 8:30 bell, you can find two of our girls outside our homeroom. Could they pos- sibly be Corinne Szczepanski and Marta Tel- lechea? They think we don’t notice them out here, but we do. Room 354 is starting the school year off with a bang. Our member of the football squad, Paul Walker, is busy getting dis- missed from sixth period classes this season to win games for us, and our bankers Philip Vaccaro and Laurie Welch were unhappily missing second period to dust off accounts in the bank. For everyone who was so glad to get back in the groove of social events, failure slips came out all too soon. Neverthe- less, after the useless searching for elevators and arriving 20 minutes late for classes, we, in 354, look forward to a rewarding three years at Somerville High. Room 301 here. This year our class proctor is Brian Kung and our bankers are Donna LeBlanc and Francis Kochane. We congratu- late Donald Kirton for making the Cross Country Track Team. We, of humble 301, would like to ask one simple question, WHEN ARE WE GETTING LOCKERS! That’s about all we Sophs can dig up for now. We think everything is just great at good old S.H.S. We’ve found out (the hard way, of course) . . . that there are no ele- vators, no escalators, and 349 is not near the boiler room. The Juniors and Seniors have been really great kids though and just think, someday we’ll be the big shots of the school.

Waltham then went on to beat Chicopee for the State Championship. Twenty-eight FOOTBALL Somerville High’s new football coach is John Nunziato of the S.H.S. sports parade “famous sons.” The season began with a loss to a strong Arlington eleven as our boys were whipped 33-6. In the second game, Quincy quarterback, Matt McKeon, passed for one touchdown and scored a second to lead the “Presidents” to a 14-6 victory. In the third quarter Somer- ville’s lone tally was registered by Bob Tra- bucco on a four-yard plunge to cap a seventy- two yard march. Late in the fourth quarter Somerville’s last ditch attempt to gain a tie was squelched when a Ron Blakney pass was intercepted on the Quincy ten. Somerville went into the Medford game CROSS COUNTRY TEAM 41 Malden Catholic 16 Somerville 22 Cambridge Latin 35 Somerville 26 Brookline 33 Somerville 28 Boston College High 27 Somerville 45 Rindge 15 Somerville with a record of no wins and two defeats, but with a strong determination not to make it 0 and 3. After Medford jumped to an early 8-0 lead, Somerville, by capitalizing on a poor punt, scored six points on a 15 yard touchdown toss, Ron Blakney to Frank Maniglia. Somerville’s punt late in the third quarter was blocked by Dave Marotta of Medford in Somerville territory and six plays later the “Mustangs” raised the score to 16-6. As the final period opened our Co-captain Rick Lepore stomped into touchdown land and pulled Somerville to within two points of Medford. Our team needed the ball desper- ately and got it when John Cicarella re- covered a fumble on Medford’s 41 yard line. A few plays later Ron Blakney scampered 33 yards for a touchdown to give our boys a hard-fought and well-deserved victory by the score of 20-16. Som. Oppos.

Outside the nursery window snowflakes were slowly drifting down out of the dark wintry sky. It was long past midnight and all was silent save for the soft breathing of his brother and sister. But it had not been so still just a moment before, for something had awakened him from a pleasant dream about the presents he would get in the morning for Christmas. He scratched his head wonderingly. What had made him wake up? Wait! There it was again! He heard a soft thud upon the roof and now there was the jingling of bells. Jumping from his bed he came close to break- ing his head as he fell seven feet to the floor! He had forgotten that he was sleeping in the top bunk. A few bumps didn’t matter to him now though. He was in too much of a hurry to scamper over to the nursery window. Rubr bing his arm across the window to clear the frost from it, he peered anxiously into the snowy sky. Disappointment clouded his little face, for, aside from the falling snowflakes, the sky appeared to be empty. Suddenly, a patch of snow knocked from the roof caused Christopher to look up just as a big red sleigh, pulled by a team of eight reindeer, alighted from the top of his house and began an ascent into the night. His eyes grew so wide that they looked as if they were ready to pop right out. He let out a great big gulp. Santa Claus! It really was Santa Claus! The little boy watched in fascination as the won- derful sight flew farther and farther into the sky until, at last, it disappeared from view. Christopher did not take long in recover- ing from his shock though, because it sud- denly occurred to him what would be waiting for him down in the living room. He did not bother with robe or slippers; he was far too excited by the prospect of the toys and candies that would be waiting downstairs. Tiptoeing down the stairs as fast as he could without making any noise, for it would not do to wake up his mother or father, he put his hand on the doorknob, bubbling over with anticipation, and slowly opened the door. The big room was like a picture on a Christmas card. The big, full tree, covered with decorations, was surrounded by beauti- fully wrapped gifts of all possible sizes and shapes. There were dolls, stuffed animals, toy soldiers, brightly colored bouncing balls, games, and countless other toys all about. But Christopher was not looking at the presents and toys. He stood there with wide eyes and gaping mouth. For there, sitting on the mantlepiece over the fireplace was the strangest little man he had ever seen in his seven years of life. Between two and three feet tall, no bigger than an infant, and yet obviously no baby, the little stranger had funny pointed ears and a fuzzy fringe of a beard growing down around his face. Clothed in green knee breeches and a jacket of the same color, he had a pair of shoes which curled up and over in the front with a jingle bell on each tip, and he wore a cloth hat with a pompon on the end which hung down over the side of his little head. “What are you staring at me for?’’ he inquired of Christopher. “That’s not very hospitable, you know.” Thrct “Wh ... who are you ?” was all Christopher managed to say. “Jingles is the name, Jingles J. Frost. You might have heard of my brother Jack.” “Are you an elf, or a fairy, or something like that?” “You might say that,” replied Jingles as he hopped down from the mantle to an easy chair. “I am an elf by nature and an assistant to St. Nick by profession.” “Gee! But what are you doing here? I just saw Santa leave a few minutes ago.” The elf frowned unhappily. “I know it. You see, we are running behind schedule and so we are in a great hurry. When Santa went up to the sleigh I stayed behind to make a few final arrangements. He must’ve thought I was in the back of the sleigh with the toys, and so he took off.” “What are you going to do now?” asked Christopher. “Oh, just wait, I guess. Sooner or later he’ll miss me and then he’ll be back. Say, how about playing some games to make the time go faster?” “Okay!” agreed Christopher enthusiasti- cally. “Watch this, m’boy.” Jingles snapped his fingers and all of a sudden the toy soldiers under the tree snap- ped to attention. Christopher gasped as he watched the soldiers form ranks and march across the living room rug. A tiny trumpet sounded a march and the little drummer took up the beat. And with that all of the toys in the room came to life. Raggedy Anne and Raggedy Andy danced a jig on the coffee table. Stuffed bears and rabbits played tag on and around the sofa. The toy soldiers drilled to and fro performing very fancy maneuvers. A set of alphabet blocks flew out of its box and spelled out “Merry Christmas” in red and white letters. A little tugboat tooted its way across the room. Christopher, watching the toys, laughed happily and tried hard not to miss a thing. Jingles snapped his fingers again and Chris- topher found himself floating up into the air to sit on the big chandelier with Jingles right beside him. From here the whole wonderful scene spread itself out beneath them like a part of a fairy tale. “Hungry, Chris?” Jingles asked. And with- out waiting for a reply he wiggled his ears and Christopher found that a candy cane had appeared in his right hand and a ginger- bread man in his left. He ate and he watched and, most of all, he laughed happily. Never before had he had so much fun. Suddenly Jingles pricked up his pointed ears. “Listen!” he whispered. Christopher listened, and Jingles listened, and all of the toys listened also. Faintly, in the distance, they heard the unmistakable sound of sleighbells. “Come on, Christopher, m’boy. It’s up to the roof for us.” Jingles wiggled his nose once again and in an instant they were up on the roof, sitting on the edge of the chimney. And in front of them Santa was just pulling up in his sleigh. “Well, Jingles,” he said, “what happened to you?” “I guess I sort of missed the boat, or rather, the sleigh, Santa?” “I guess you did,” said Santa. “Hello there, Christopher. Has Jingles been keeping you occupied ?” “I’ll say he has, Santa,” Christopher re- plied eagerly. And he then told Santa about all of the fun they had had together. “Well, Christopher, I’m sorry to have to take Jingles away from you, but I’m afraid I need him.” “Yeh,” quipped Jingles, “you’d never keep your books straight without me!” “Jeepers, Santa,” said Christopher, “do you have to leave right away?” “Yes, Christopher, we do. We’ve got a great many toys to be delivered by morning.” Jingles shook Christopher’s hand. “Well, so long, Chris! Maybe we’ll meet again.” “I hope so,” said Christopher sadly. With that Jingles snapped his fingers and Christopher found himself back in the nursery. He looked out the window in time to see the big red sleigh flying off with Santa and Jingles both waving goodbye. “Goodbye, Santa! Goodbye, Jingles! Merry Christmas to you, too!” Four THE LAST MORNING Marinella Nannini ’65 Dawn blossomed over the countryside as the summer breeze gave life to a new day. It was barely six o’clock when Della awakened. The sun peeped through the crack in the window shutter and shone directly into her eyes. It was time to get up. With hurried gestures she began to dress, dismissing the thought that this was the last day she would spend in her home town. Quick steps and a jump led her down the creaky stairs and into the silent, semi-dark kitchen. Setting the coffee on the stove, she glanced at the clock. Already it was six-thirty. How the last two months had sped! But no, she mustn’t think about it. She’d promised to shed no tears. Stepping outside, the fragrance of the fruit blossoms, the violets, and fresh baked bread wrinkled her nose and enlivened her cheeks. This was home! Taking the bicycle, she sped toward the bakery, humming a tune, and waving friendly greetings to the people she met. Everyone asked the same questions. Did she want to leave? When was she returning? Would she miss Gus? The last one she could not answer; it reminded her of the sad good- byes she would soon have to make. Gus was close to her heart, the one who gave her confidence. He had wisps of red hair, and deep brown eyes which fascinated her when- ever she met him. His tall, slender figure belied his strength. Gus was the boy she loved and the one she must forget. As she sipped her coffee, Della remembered the times they’d spent together. Some nights they would stroll along without a destination, talking as much about Verdi as about the nasty mosquitos which kept biting her arms. They would dance at the open-air theatre till the wee hours of the morning. His steps were quick and rhythmic like Fred Astaire’s. Gus was as gentle as a fairytale prince but as substantial as bread and milk. It was getting late. He would soon arrive. As she scrutinized herself in the mirror, Della saw her liquid eyes growing tearful. “No,” she told herself, “it’s wrong. The sea brought us together and the sea will separate us.” Then the bitter tears came, only to be kissed away by the prince in her fairy tale. DAYDREAMERS Nancy Wiswall ’65 It has been said that “daydreamers create for themselves a better world than reality.” You bet we do! Wouldn’t you say that re- membering the time last summer when you were diving off the rocks into the cool blue water of Cohasset on a broiling July day is preferable to attempting to find the resultant in a three-dimensional vector problem in physics? I would! Isn’t reliving the scenes in the splendid movie, “The Cardinal,” that you saw the night before more engrossing than listening to the dry sermon about Christian rejuvenation that the minister rambles on and on about? And when your mother blithely leaves for a bridge game with in- structions for you to mop, dust, and vacuum the house while she is gone, isn’t it grimly satisfying to dream ahead to the time when you, at college, will be absolved from all housework while your mother sadly slaves, yearning for her useful daughter? Daydreams, to be sure, can sometimes create a dangerous fantasy world in which reality seldom exists. They can prevent you from taking advantage of the present by either spinning you back to some “good old days” that won’t ever return or by thrusting you ahead to a future which will never be unless you stop daydreaming and get to work on specific goals. Daydreams, however, also serve as an extremely pleasant diversion, refreshing the mind as they bring a smile to your lips, and daydreams are a swift release when the subject at hand does not interest. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, a famous Romantic- poet of the nineteenth century, had a special interest in writing of imaginary trips to foreign lands. He made wondrous happenings in dreams seem like reality. I’m an inveterate, unashamed daydreamer. Dreams take my mind off problems—and high schoolers have many. Daydreams start Five me thinking of various topics, and I seldom miss anything of importance. I think that daydreaming is a harmless and sometimes rewarding pastime. A FACE BY THE FIRE Fausto DiTullio ’66 As your train pulls into the station you instantly notice the grandeur of the Rockies surrounding this valley in central Colorado. Getting out of the train you are welcomed by a gust of crisp Rocky Mountain air. You take a deep breath and your whole body tingles and comes alive. Looking up the mountain side covered with powdered snow, you in- variably think of one thing, skiing. But you’ll have plenty of time for that later on. Going to the lodge, you spot distant figures gliding effortlessly through the powdered snow. When they finally reach the bottom, they eagerly head for another breathless journey down the slope. But just then you arrive at the lodge. Looking about, you are awed by the magnifi- cence of the snow-covered peaks. You step inside the lodge. The place is crowded with eager skiing enthusiasts, busily getting their skis ready for the run down the mountain slope. You freshen up in your room and down- stairs for a welcome cup of hot chocolate. Groups of fellow skiers gather around the fireplace, telling anyone who will listen the fantastic stories of their skiing experiences. Looking desperately for someone to talk to, you spot an equally lonely person across the room. Gathering enough courage you walk toward her in the hope of starting a friendly conversation. You very politely introduce yourself, and begin to engage in small talk. There is something about this girl that sets her apart from all the rest, but just what you cannot say. Her face catches the reflection from the fire and the result is a glowing beauty. You ask her to go skiing with you tomorrow, and she naturally accepts. But now it is time to retire for the night, and dream of tomorrow’s upcoming events. The buzzing alarm clock shatters your peaceful sleep, and you unwillingly get out of bed. But suddenly you remember your skiing date and start dressing with renewed gusto. Downstairs you hurriedly eat half a breakfast and eagerly head outside. Looking at the big, bold sky, you suddenly feel ten feet tall. But just as you turn around, you see your new-found companion. The wind whipping against her golden-colored hair, her cheeks pink from the numbing coldness, you know then and there that she is to be yours forever. She signals for you to hurry, and you quickly buckle your skis and move toward her. Now you are ready for the down- ward journey. You’re standing at the edge and you push with the ski poles. You begin to pick up speed and suddenly the wind begins to push against your face, and you become uncon- scious of anything around you. The noise of the skis sliding across the snow becomes a constant swish. The tall pines dart by in a constant blur, and you think to yourself that you must be flying. You try to look at the ground but the wind pushes your face back. You are now approaching a mound of snow. It lifts you into the air. You stay suspended there for a split second, and then you are quickly gliding on the snow again. You blaze new paths through the untouched drifts of snow. In the sky the clouds seem like a con- tinuous white blur. Just before your journey Six comes to an end, you pick up one last burst of speed that carries you to new heights of frenzied excitement. You begin to slow down and finally come to a halt. Zealously you head for the top and another plunge through space. You ski all day, until the setting sun forces you to retire. At last you half- heartedly walk toward the lodge, knowing that there will be never a day quite like today. ROSEBUD Marinella Nannini ’65 Delaney, the gardener, bent over the rose bush and with a pair of long, sharp scissors cut a rosebud from its root. As he straight- ened his tired, old body, he looked at the flower, noticing the perfectly round petals contoured about the stem. The deep velvety softness would soon blossom into an ex- quisite rose. Kelley will love this, he thought. She was herself, like a rosebud, so young, full of vitality and loveliness. He had tended her since the day she was born. Her mother, a widow, never had the time to be with her, so Delaney had been both father and mother to her. She could ride as well as any of the wealthy boys in the community, and yet she could care for flowers as if they were her children. All this Delaney had taught her. He walked into the kitchen and heard whispers coming from the drawing room. Softly, stealthily, he tiptoed, holding the rosebud behind his back. The door was slightly ajar and two young voices were laughing softly almost secretively. As De- laney noticed the pair, a chill ran through him. Kelley was in the arms of a young boy who seemed to be whispering sweet-nothings in her ear. Delaney didn’t understand this; his mind was foggy. Clearing his throat, he heard, himself say, “Miss Kelley?” Immediately the girl freed herself and flushed as she met Delaney’s eyes. She ran toward him, arms outstretched, exclaiming, “Oh, Delaney. I’m so glad to see you!” Her wide smile showed the deep set of her dimples, and her eyes were luminous. Delaney said nothing. He did not find the strength to embrace her. She flung her left- hand in front of his eyes. A large diamond ring was on the fourth finger. “Isn’t it beau- tiful! Oh, Delaney I’ve just become engaged to the most wonderful man in the world!” she proclaimed. Delaney felt the hot sting of thorns digging into his flesh. He felt this mouth open but no sound came out. “Don’t tell me I’m too young, Delaney, or I’ll scold you! Oh, I’m so happy!” The old man looked at her and a tear trickled down his wrinkled cheek. He felt the rosebud drop from his hands. She fled from his arms and taking the young man by the hand led him to Delaney. “Delaney, this is the man I’m going to marry. James Conway, meet my other love.” The boy stretched out his right hand, but the old man took no notice. He looked at him in anger, thinking, what right have you to love this girl? Why are you taking her from me? Kelley touched the old man’s arm, but he pushed her aside. She began to cry. “Oh, why are you like this, Delaney? Don’t you want me to be happy? I have a right to love. I’m nineteen. I’m not your little girl anymore. Please say you want me to be happy, Delaney. Please?” The young man moved close to her and soothingly stroked away her tears. Delaney slumped on the chair beside him and put his hands against his face. He began to sob. Kelley went to him and pressed his head against her bosom. They were both crying now. “Miss Kelley, you’ll always be my little girl. I want you to be happy, but I never figured you’d go away from me someday.” He then stood up and with a forced smile gave his hand to her fiancee. The boy was pleased and said, “How do you do, sir. Kelley has told me so much about you I feel as if I know you already.” Then Delaney said, “You must be a fine boy to have my Kelley’s love.” He then took both their hands in his and asked to hear the whole story. As they spoke, Delaney noticed the warmth in their eyes and knew they would both be happy. He walked alone now, amid the motley Seven colored flowers in the garden, noticing their vividness. He had picked up the rosebud and was now taking off the soft petals letting them fall on the bright green patches of grass. He looked up at the sky. It was a beautiful day, just right for riding. Too bad Kelley couldn’t be here. Hot and lonely tears ran from his eyes, and the glare of the noon- day sun made him turn aside. He looked at the stately mansion, still hearing the voice of the girl he loved. Heaving a sigh, he uttered, “Well Delaney, your rosebud has blossomed into a rose.” A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MR. CHAUNCEY JEROME Leo Donahue. Jr. ’67 Today man’s schedule is so full of various appointments that he lacks time to sit down and relax. Constant rushing eventually destroys a man’s health by means of ulcers, heart attacks, and various other illnesses. This is especially true of suburbanites. For an example, we will enter into a day in the life of Mr. Chauncey Jerome, a wealthy executive whose home is twenty-six miles from his office. Mr. Jerome is sleeping comfortably in his bed when his alarm clock begins to ring. But this is not sufficient to shatter his slumber because the night before he was out until 3 o’clock at a cocktail party for an important stockholder. Finally at 6:45 he rolls over and glances at his clock. Realizing that he is al- ready fifteen minutes late, he jumps out of bed and splashes cold water on his face to wake himself completely. Then Chancey runs into the bathroom and, using his new electric razor, shaves, cutting himself under the chin. After he finishes shaving, he dashes to the kitchen, which is at the opposite end of the mansion. As he rushes along he forgets abut the split-level stairs and trips on them. He curses them as he picks himself up but remembers that his wife insisted on them because they were a status-symbol at the time. Mr. Jerome has to make his own breakfast Eight because his wife is having her beauty sleep, in anticipation of an important party to be held at their home tonight. He boils some water for tea, warms some bread, butters it, and devours it. Looking at his watch he realizes that he is even later now. He rushes out of the house, forgetting his tie, jumps in his car and takes off. Five minutes later he roars up the treacherous, winding drive- way in his car. He jumps out, again cursing, rushes into his palace and grabs an expen- sive, coffee-stained tie from the floor. Now he has no alternative other than to speed. Accelerating well over the limit, he slowly begins to make up lost time. As he rushes along in his low-slung, uncomfortable roadster, which is also a status-symbol, he can hear a steady, wailing sound. In a few seconds it becomes evident to him that this sound emanates from a siren, and glancing back he sees a policeman chasing him on a motorcycle. Chauncey is forced to pull over to the side of the road. After being dealt his ticket he starts again, but this time he rides at exactly the speed limit. Now he stops at his favorite diner and orders hot coffee and two greasy doughnuts which he hungrily devours, the doughnuts being very bad for his ulcers. Then he crawls back into his car and continues his long journey. When he finally reaches the outskirts of the city he becomes involved in a traffic-jam. He constantly honks his horn and anxiously glances at his pocket-watch. At last the traffic starts to move and away he goes. At last, Mr. Jerome arrives at his office and again crawls out of the car. Impatient at finding the elevator at the top of the build- ing, he decides to run up the stairs. Walking into the office he slumps into his chair, com- pletely exhausted. At 12:30 he rushes to lunch with three important stockholders. After lunch he rushes back to the office, and at 5:15 he starts out on his despised journey home in the very middle of the traffic-jam hour. Fifteen minutes after starting out he is caught in a traffic-jam. Again he honks his horn constantly and glances at his watch anxiously. Half an hour later he starts again. After an hour he arrives home, only to be greeted by a wife who commands him to drive to the store and buy some drinks and food for the party. When Chauncey arrives with the groceries, his wife asks him to vacuum the rug. Finally, after all the chores have been completed, he slumps into a chair. Five minutes later the doorbell rings and the guests come in. For five straight hours he rushes from one end of the house to the other, acting as a good host. At 1:30, when the party ends, Mr. Chaun- cey Jerome starts to load the dishwasher and is struck by a heart attack. PLEASE, GRANDMA! Marinella Nannini 65 She came plodding across the room and with a heavy sigh planted herself in the rocking chair, which creaked painfully, sounding as if it might give way any minute. But there she rocked, back and forth, placid yet showing her restlessness by the continu- ous patter of her feet on the hardwood floor. This is my grandmother, the whole 260 pounds of her. She is five feet eight inches tall, round as a pumpkin, and at sixty-eight as strong as her woman’s will to conquer the opposite sex. When she embraces you, watch out! She’s likely to squeeze your nose to numbness against her bosom. And yet she professes great love for her “little girl’’— me. You can’t help gaining ten pounds during a week-end stay with her. Grandmother makes the most digestible, rich Italian foods conceivable. Her pastry is flaky, devilishly covered with chocolate cream or strawberries. At first she’ll ask you if you desire a “piccolo” pastry. If you refuse, she’ll tell you that you want it! Eventually there’s no escape. You’ve got to be brave, so eat, eat to her heart’s content. She makes her own “pasta,” rolling out the dough till the whole table is covered with a gold egg-yolk dough. Her tongue all the while seems to be flapping between her teeth to the rhythm of her strokes. If you really want to get into trouble, tell her she’s work- ing too hard. “Mamma mia! When will you ever learn not to talk back to your elders?” This will shut you up! She is provident. If you look in her closet, you’ll find two dresses; one for the week-day and one for Sunday; two pairs of shoes, one for Sunday and one for daily wear. Sometimes I try to peek under her black kerchief to see if her hair has any grey in it. Never do I get it as far back as the crest of her hair. She quickly says, “Piccola mia, white hair doesn’t make you old, for a per- son is as old as she feels. Always remember that as long as you can work, enjoy life and pray to God, you’ll forever be young.” Yes, Grandma, I’ll remember. But please, if I eat one more pastry or one more maca- roni, I’ll never be able to get up to do the dishes! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Frederick Rackmil ’66 A vague figure tramping through the fresh snow with more than average vigor finally appeared in the light, and the old man sprang from his window perch to open the door for it. “Get in here, Al, before you freeze to death. The stove’s going good now—I’ll get you some coffee.” From under the many layers of clothing a tall man, still shivering a little, appeared. He managed a weary “thanks” when the coffee arrived, while the old man inspected him. “You know, this whole thing is crazy. Here we are, alone, isolated by the storm— You don’t even know if he’s coming. Al, it’s been ten years—no letters, no nothing, and all of a sudden, this. You know he’s kinda strange. Why out here, all alone, and after all this time? Al, let me call the station, just in case. They’ll send a man down and . . .” “No! I know my boy. We'll wait.” Nine “Al, it’s almost twelve. Why did he say midnight? You know how he was—such a strange boy—very, very strange.” The now thoroughly defrosted visitor, lulled by the rhythm of the old man’s banter- ing, leaned back and reached in his pocket for a crumpled sheet of paper which showed signs of much folding and unfolding. The barely legible scrawl read, “Happy birthday, Dad. See you on the 20th at midnight in old Jacob’s store. I got you a present. Eddy.” He looked at the paper, but he saw a boy of twelve with black hair and blank eyes staring at the charred skeleton that was once a barn. Why? He remembered those first moments—a puff of smoke, a locked door, a frantic mother screaming something about little Laurie inside. He remembered a search through the kitchen and that key, not in the drawer, not in the cabinet, not on the hook. When the ruins cooled they found Laurie, what was left of her, and then they saw Eddy. He had been gone all day, but that caused no alarm. After all, everyone knew Eddy was a strange boy, a very strange boy. Now he was standing there. His father walked over, turned the small head so the blank eyes met his, and said, in a low, unsteady monotone, “You always hated her, didn’t you. Just a baby. You locked the door, you lit the fire, you threw away the key, didn’t you. Answer me!” The blank eyes looked at him, through him, and didn’t even blink as the first blow fell. He hit Eddy again, they told him later, but he only remembered that Eddy didn’t cry, didn’t speak, just stared. The next morning he found that Eddy was gone and the house was a mess. His careful search of the ravaged kitchen revealed that only his wallet was missing, a few bucks and some change. Maybe, he thought, he had been too harsh, but no, the key never was found. As the years passed, he managed to inter- cept some rumors of his son’s fate from the local gossips. Some say he hitchhiked his way west. Later, the consensus was that he joined the army. But who knew what to ex- pect; he was such a very strange boy. “Yes, a very strange boy,” said the old man. “Remember that time when . . .? Well, look at the clock! It’s twelve-thirty. Told you he wouldn’t show up.” “What... what did you say?” Any reply was cut off by a muffled, but fairly loud noise. “That came from the back, Jake. You stay here. I’ll go and look.” “You be careful now, Al,” said the old man, staring into the black hallway. Suddenly he heard what seemed like a groan. He lurched for the telephone, started to dial, but, hear- ing another one, he dropped the receiver and ran for the back. His flashlight revealed his friend's body, face down in a drift. “Al! Al, are you all right?” he whispered at his side. “Oh, something hit me, Jake. I’m . . . I’m all right now. Help me inside.” The old man, struggling under the weight, managed to half drag, half carry his friend back to the main room. At the entrance way they stopped short, The main door was flung open. Putting down his load, the old man ran out into the dark- ness. “Nobody there, Al, not a soul,” he said, hurrying in and closing the door behind him. He looked up to see Al, who had somehow pulled himself up to a chair, staring intently at a box on the table. “What’s that?” he asked. “It was Eddy. I'm sure of it. He left this.” On the crudely wrapped and tied shoebox was printed “Happy Birthday.” The old man, pacing around the table, said, “Don’t open it, Al. Please don’t. Maybe it’s a bomb. We’ll leave it here. Get the police. No telling what he might do.” “Don’t be ridiculous. Sit down. You’re making me nervous.” After carefully cutting the rope, with a reverence more from awe than fear, he lifted the cover. Inside was an old wallet. There was nothing in the wallet, except for a key . . . one large, rusty key. Ten A WINTERS DAY George Harrington 66 The ermine-white frost which was spread over the hillside was like sugar glistening in the cold morning sun and the liquid call of the whippoorwill was heard in the cold, crisp air. Dawn’s grayness was pushed farther away by the rising sun, and the deep blue of the sky reached down to meet the ground which was spotted with the clumps of stark trees—the only evidence that this place could ever have experienced the warmth of summer. Above, the sky was flecked here and there with billowy white clouds. A rush of icy wind swirled on its hurried journey to nowhere, as if it were a sign of the coming death of winter. On the frozen ground only a few frost-covered leaves, killed by the icy breath of winter, remained. They waited patiently for the blanket of snow that would cover them until they would see the green blades of grass push through the moist soil of spring. It seemed that spring was so far away. GHOSTS: ARE THEY OR AREN’T THEY? Ann Marie DeBueriis ’65 Of course there are no such things as ghosts. I must be seeing things. It’s the shadow from my window. It has to be! My mind reasoned these things as my heart jumped from my body and pounced back at uneven intervals. I couldn’t close my eyes. An extraordinarily powerful magnetic force was holding them to the white form at the foot of my bed. I couldn’t move my body. Fear made my arms weigh a hundred pounds, my legs a thousand. “Oh! What can I do? Maybe if I close my eyes just for one minute, and then open them, the thing will be gone. But how can I close my eyes? They are held too powerfully to the figure. It's impossible! I know it is. Well, I’ve got to do something. I will close them. Oh, eyes, I know you can close! Come on. That’s it. Just a little bit more. There! Do I dare open them now ? Oh I must! I must! No! It can’t be! The thing is still there. May- be if I move I’ll find it was only a reflection.” Closing my eyes was bad enough, but moving my body was just plain impossible. Suddenly, white formless stumps reached from its main mass to the foot of my bed. I tried to scream. A boulder in my throat pre- vented any sound from passing into the night. I tried to scream again with all the force I had. Nothing! The boulder in my throat grew. Cold beads of sweat formed on my brow. All at once I moved, trying desper- ately to scream. My eyes were still fixed upon the thing. All at once it disappeared. It was unbelievable. “What should I do? Should I call someone? Should I say something? What would be the use? No one would believe me.” Fearful thoughts of that night still haunt me when I lie in bed and I still wonder whether ghosts really do exist. THE SEARCH .Maria Ruggiero ’65 I stood upon a clump of sod, Looked o’er the sea to find my God; I stared into the sky and space But nowhere did I see His face. Oh where, oh where, my God is He ? He is within the heart of me. MY SCHOOL LIBRARY Mary Fuccillo ’66 What a bright and friendly room. Hardly ever marred by gloom. Friendly faces; colors bright And books ... books everywhere in sight. Books on travel, sports, and fun, And things that have been made or done. Books for school and pleasure, too, Books for me, books for you. Posters hanging on the wall Tell picture stories to one and all. Maps or charts are also found. There’s oh so much; just look around. If you’re confused once you’re inside Let Mr. Hickey be your guide! He’ll show you what to do to find Whatever you have on your mind. So pay a visit, make it soon. Why not go this afternoon ? Your time in there will be well spent. I’m sure that you’ll be glad you went. Eleven (tclial THE AGE OF IMPROPRIETY Allan Howe '65 Now that almost two months have passed since the election, we have a chance to reflect on the controversies of the campaign. Recall- ing the issues, we remember that the nation’s moral health was one of the most important. How true were Senator Goldwater’s charges of a moral decay eating away at the founda- tion of our country? Are we, as President Johnson said, to continue moving toward “The Great Society” or toward “The Age of Impropriety?” Admittedly the example set in Washing- ton for the American people has not been a good one. Both Republican and Democratic administrations must take the blame for this weakness in ethics. During the past few years the names of Sherman Adams, Billie Sol Estes and Bobby Baker have been pre- eminent because of their connections with scandals. We in Massachusetts seem to be leading the nation in corruption in state government. This fact was borne out by the recent indict- ments of a former Governor and former Speaker of the House. Also, here in Somer- ville, the picture could be a lot brighter. But, what of the average person? Do cor- rupt officials represent the moral condition of the people? As much as we hate to admit it, we are far from perfect. In school or out of school the teenager sees or even takes part in, cheating, stealing, smoking, or drink- ing. What is the excuse used for these mis- demeanors? It usually goes something like this, “All my friends do it, so why shouldn’t I?” Here is a dangerous side-effect of these offences—the seemingly contagious effect they may have on others. Also, this dis- honesty sometimes leads to more dishonesty and a snowballing of petty offences. As we see dishonesty not only in real life but also in the movies or on television, we become used to it and accept it as a normal and expected part of life. This misconception is unfortunate, but we must set our own standards, live up to them and try to influence others to adopt similar ideals. Only by the following of high standards by all the Ameri- can people can our age avoid being called “The Age of Impropriety.” MISS GERALDINE FITZGERALD The faculty and students of Somerville High School were deeply saddened by the sudden and untimely death of Miss Geraldine Fitzgerald on October 24, 1964. Miss Fitz- gerald, who received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1931 from Regis College and her Master’s Degree from Calvin Coolidge Col- lege in 1956, had served Somerville High since 1936. In 1954, she was appointed Head of the Math Department. During the next ten years she worked unceasingly for the school and in collaboration with Stanley Bez- uska of Boston College worked on a program of modern math courses. During her twenty- nine years at Somerville, she exemplified the qualities which all students respect in a teacher. MISS MARGARET SNELL With a Bachelor of Science Degree from Arnold College now a part of the University of Bridgeport, in New Haven, Connecticut, Miss Margaret Snell came to teach Physical Education at Somerville High. For thirty-six years she worked zealously for Somerville High and served the school in every way possible. On November 30, 1964, Miss Snell retired, and the faculty and students of Som- erville High wish to express their hope that she will continue to have the same success in retirement that she has enjoyed while she was with us. Tw«lv« HAVE YOU MET? KICHARI) LEPORE Students at Somerville High probably know- more about Ricky Lepore than any other student. As co-captain of the football team, he has lead our team through victories and defeats. Rick is also President of the Boys' Glee Club. One of his most important activ- ities is Student Council. Rick just seems to like presidencies! As the president he con- ducts all senior assemblies. Last summer Rick represented Somerville High at the Eastern Massachusetts Association of Stu- dent Councils. He was elected by students from throughout Eastern Mass, as President. Having won all these offices proves that Rick has shown all the qualities of good leadership. It’s probaby not difficult to guess what his hobby is. That’s right—sports. He certainly has proven to Somerville High that he not only likes sports but excels in them. When asked what singers he liked best, he had to think twice and say Jene Pitney and Peter, Paul and Mary. We are very proud to have such a fine athlete and capable leader at S.H.S. and we wish him the best at college. We’re sure he will succeed wherever he goes, and in what- ever he does in life! NANCY MARCOTTI If any students attend football or basket- ball games they are sure to see Nancy Mar- cotti, cheering the hardest for our team. In addition to being a cheerleader Nancy is the president of Future Teachers of America, member of Student Council, Teen Citizen Administration, and Tri-Hi-Y. Nancy, a very studious girl, finds herself doing at least six hours of homework, and spends a great deal of time on her English. Because of her studying we know that she will be successful in getting into either Salem or Bridgewater State. As you prob- ably know, Nancy intends to be an elementary school teacher. We know that she’ll be one of the “great” teachers and that the children will all love her. When Nancy is able to listen to the radio she enjoys the Beatles and Johnny Mathis. Her favorite actor is Richard Burton, a typical woman’s choice. Nancy has been selected to represent S.H.S. as a candidate for Junior Mayor. The elec- tions are on January 24. St. Clements, S.H.S., and Trade High all compete. Since she is definitely the best candidate, we are looking forward to victory! Thirteen WHAT 5 STUDENT COUNCIL So far this year, the Student Council under the direction of Miss Accorto has had many projects which have been interesting for the entire school. Most recently, the student body chose a nickname for the athletic teams. The new name is “THE HIGH- LANDERS” and the school is really proud of it. The council has also held a scholarship dance, an orientation program for sopho- mores, and two football rallies. Class elec- tions were held recently. The Council officers are: President, Ricky LePore; Vice-President, Kent Solberg; Re- cording Secretary, Joanne Paul; Correspond- ing Secretary, Barbara Raineri; and Treas- urer, Richie Rappoli. With the help of all the council members and students, this year should be an outstanding one for the council. LE CERCLE LE CLERC “Le Cercle Le Clerc” held its first dance on November 10th and the proceeds went to the A. Marguerite Browne French Award. The club thanks all who worked so ardently to make the dance a success. There are plans to present a “French Night” in the spring. One of the highlights will be the presentation of Moliere’s “Le Malade Imaginaire” by the French 4 Class. G. A. A. There is still time for any girl to become a member of the G.A.A., so why not think about it? The volleyball group will hold its inter- class tournament on the first three Tuesdays in December. The three teams are very good, so the contest should be exciting. The bowling group meets every Monday afternoon at the “College Avenue Bowla- drome.” Just think, if you get three spares in a row, you will receive a FREE candy bar from the management! The badminton group meets every Wednes- day and Thursday afternoon in the gym. The G.A.A. dues are not very expensive, especially when you realize that you can enjoy yourself while keeping physically fit. The G.A.A. hopes to see all of you partici- pating in some sport—SOON! TEEN CITIZEN ADMINISTRATION The Teen Citizen Administration is a city- wide organization sponsored by the Somer- ville Lodge of Elks. It is composed of honor students from the three high schools who come to bi-monthly meetings at the Elks Hall to hear some of our municipal officials speak about their functions and powers. Typical of the very fine talks T.C.A. has heard were those given by Mayor Lawrence F. Bretta, School Committeewoman Mrs. Louise Kelley and Civil Defense Director Charles Houghton. The highlight of the year will be the elec- tion of the teen government which will take over the control of Somerville on Student Government Day in May. S.H.S. candidate for Teen Mayor is Nancy Marcotti ’65. All the S.H.S. students are urged to come to the Mayorality Rally which will be held in the Clayton Ellis Auditorium of the High School on Sunday, January 24, 1965. The candidates will present their platforms for election and a panel of judges will select the Teen Mayor. In order for Nancy to be elected, everyone in the school must help, so be SURE to come!

At present the club offers instruction in International Morse Code and Elementary Radio Theory. The officers hope that several of the new members will be licensed by the Federal Communication Commission in 1965. Future plans include a field trip to a mountain top in Vermont to demonstrate the club’s usefulness as a relay station in a com- munications network during a local, state or national emergency. FUTURE NURSES CLUB The Future Nurses Club has made a splendid start this year for the attendance and cooperation of the members have been excellent. The most important activity so far was attending the Open House at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. This was both an inspir- ing and rewarding experience. The club members plan to attend the Open Houses at the New England Deaconess Hos- pital and the Children’s Hospital. The candy sale was very successful. The members worked hard and a growing treas- ury has been the reward. F.N.C. pins have been available for those who wish to purchase them. Guards were presented to the officers as a gift from the club. The members are planning a Christmas Party which will be held in the Teachers’ Cafeteria. With the help of our party com- mittee, it should be fun! Fifteen THE BAND The Band meets every Wednesday and Thursday under the direction of Mr. Arthur J. Bizier. This organization is open to all stu- dents interested in studying instrumental band music. Instruction on all band instru- ments is given and instruments are provided by the music department. There is still time to join and Mr. Bizier will gladly welcome any new members. This year the half-time shows were built around the Beatles. Tony Tedesco, our own “Ringo,” added that special touch to the show with his Beatle wig and all. On “Vet- eran’s Day” the band participated in the annual parade and taps was sounded by John Norton and Pat O’Brien. At the annual Thanksgiving Day Football game against Waltham, the band closed the season with a spectacular performance. The group is pre- paring for several Christmas assemblies and caroling with the glee clubs at various places within the city. Walter Bennett, one of our fine trumpet players, will perform in a Christmas program at the Fernald School in Waltham. Another feature of the band is “The Hill Toppers,” the S.H.S. Dance Band which is led by Danny Tyrone. Last year the group performed at the Glee Club Concert, the Kiwanis Show, and the Class Day Dance. The Dance Band held its first meeting on December 2 and will meet every Wednesday afternoon in the auditorium. “The Powderhouse Four Plus One,” an instrumental group made up of band mem- bers, entertained at Talent Night with their rendition of “Muskrat Ramble.” The group is led by Michael Edelstein and the other members are Michael Jacques, John Norton, George Smith, and Richard White. The Band’s Student Council Representative is Charles Shubow and the Radiator Repre- sentative is Michael Edelstein. Since the band is small, it needs the sup- port of new members. Show your school spirit and “Come on Down!” BOYS’ GLEE CLUB On Talent Night the Boys’ Glee Club per- formed under the leadership of its new director, Mr. Andrew Smith. The boys wish to thank everyone for the fine reception to their singing, as they continue in an active and musical year. YOUTH RECREATION CHORUS The Youth Recreation Chorus, with a membership exceeding that of any other glee club in the school, is now preparing for the Christmas season. The debut was on Talent Night when an overflowing crowd heard its interpretation of “500 Miles,” ac- companied by the Y.R.C. “Guitar Trio” composed of Regina Sullivan ’67, Ronald Rego ’65 and Paul Grassia ’65. Sixteen A CAPELLA CHOIR CLUB 1— Mary McCullough, Claire Eovinc, Jocquclinc Rondo, Susan Kaminski, Mono Parziole, Groce Healey, Diane Acqualino Cloirc Corobollo, Donno Allen, Florence Wornock, Elizabeth Conrod, Linda Dnscoll, Elizabeth Frances, Lucille Parconogian Irene Koloyanides, Roberto Costor, Carol Johonson, Elizabeth Singletary, Lonnda Comcrono. 2— Rosalie Momonc, Michael Koloyonides, William Mobordy, Thomas Moran, Ronald Rcgo, Cyrus Richord, Robert Culver- house, Poul Grassia.

TALENT NIGHT Claire Eovine ’65 Talent Night, the event that the students and teachers of the Music Department had been waiting for, finally arrived on Novem- ber 20. The auditorium was filled. Some of the students were getting a little anxious to begin and that includes me for I was going to accompany the opening song. At exactly eight o’clock the curtains parted and the combined Glee Clubs under the direction of Miss Sweet sang “The Sweetest Sounds” and “So in Love.” After that, I sat back to watch the show until my next number. Before Bruce Shlager and I had to prepare for our piano duet, we were able to enjoy Charlie Schiappa’s accordian solo, the Youth Recreation Chorus, and the “Sophomores from Southern.” While standing backstage we heard the folk song that was sung by Virginia Casey and accompanied by Paul Grassia on the guitar. Well, it was our turn! As we were playing “Exodus,” I wondered if I were doing well, for it would be my last Talent Night. After our moment of glory we returned just in time to hear an instrumental group called “The Impalas” composed of two boys on guitar and one boy on the drums. By the time they finished, the audience was wild with excitement. The S.H.S. Glee Club sang the beautiful and familiar selections from “Oklahoma” to end the first half of the program. After a brief intermission, the Boys’ Glee Club was raring to go with the songs it ha ' so diligently prepared. Elise Breen and I were accompanists for this group, and we were proud of it. To add to the gaiety of the evening there were some comedy skits, such as “Button and Bows,” “Kids,” and “Let Us Entertain You.” Then Lorraine Bond performed a Modern Jazz dance and Paul Grassia and Robert Curran sang solos. Selections from the “Snow White Fantasy” and songs written by George M. Cohan were superbly presented by the Girls’ Glee Club. The combined Glee Clubs sang “Dear Lord of Home” for the finale. With two hundred and twenty stu- dents on stage, it was a spectacular ending. The Talent Night of 1964 is a night I’ll never forget. Seventeen dent Union Building, news commentator Louis Lyons of W.G.B.H. commented on the upcoming elections. At the same luncheon the Radiator was given a certificate of “Highest Merit.” Also, I was honored as one of the 12 semi-finalists in the scholarship competition. B. U. S. P. A. Marinella Nannini ’65 The Boston University Scholastic Press Association held its 17th Annual Fall Con- ference, at the Boston University School of Public Communications on October 30 and 31. Three members of the Radiator staff were sent as delegates. They were Benjamin Levy, Dale Triber and Marinella Nannini. The conference, which was in the form of lectures by prominent professors of their school, dealt with the fundamentals of re- porting and newswriting and examples were provided of various journalism techniques. We attended several lectures hoping that they would give us some insight in the plan- ning of the ’65 Yearbook. On display were yearbooks rated “superior” and magazines including our own Radiator. The schedule was so rigidly organized that there was barely enough time to eat lunch. It was interesting to note the number of students who came from as far away as New Hampshire and Maine to attend this conference. Dale Triber and I were among the sixty who competed in the B. U. Scholastic Press Scholarship Examination late Friday after- noon. Associate Professor Robert Baram administered the exam titled “The Press and the Elections, 1964.” Those students whose essays were rated superior were named at the Awards Luncheon, thus be- coming qualified as semi-finalists. At the Awards Luncheon which was held in the ballroom of the George Sherman Stu- S. H. S. ELECTIONS Ronald Silvestri ’66 Junior and senior elections were held re- cently under the direction of the Student Council’s election committee. On Tuesday, December 1, the primaries took place, and though competion was keen and the tallies were close, two students for each office were selected. For the first time, under election committee chairman Aleta Talbot, one poster per candidate was allowed in the students’ cafeteria and homemade flyers were per- mitted in each homeroom. As the campaign came to an end, “Meet the Candidates” assemblies were held Monday, December 7, for the purpose of hearing the candidates. In the final election on December 8, eight stu- dents emerged as our junior and senior class officers. Seniors: President, Joseph DiSar- cina; Vice-President, Richard Rappoli; Sec- retary, Joanne Paul; Treasurer, Kent Sol- berg. Juniors: President, Robert Curran; Vice-President, Thomas Bourgeois; Secre- tary, Marilyn Tuccelli; Treasurer, Robert Driscoll. Eighteen SENIOR CLASS CHATTER Editors: Nancy Wiswall, Victoria Elliott, and Benjamin Levy REPORTERS 102 Robert Alfieri; 141 George Anderson; 143 Maria Bucelli; 147 Angela Cappello; 149 Genevre Cutting; 150 Patricia Donahue; 151 Linda Driscoll; 152 Carol Goss; 151 Michael Halloran; 241 Ida Kotell; 243 Geraldine Magno; 244 Dorothy McLaughlin; 245 Angie Mrdjenovic; 247 Judith O’Brien; 249 Beverly Peterson; 250 Maria Ruggiero; 251 Geraldine Stack; 252 Donald Tims; 254 Nancy Wiswall. The Class of 1965 is rounding the home stretch about now. It's our last year at Somerville High, and we have just elected officers who will officiate at our leave-taking and who will call us back together twice every decade. They are a fine, active group headed by President Joseph DiSarcina. Vice- President is Richard Rappoli, Secretary is Joanne Paul, and Treasurer is Kent Solberg. We are confident they will work diligently to make ours the truly great class it ought to be! Taking a survey of the senior homerooms, we find most of the people in 102 working full time to save for Christmas presents. They want to know, however, when Cheryl Wray will come forth with her buddies’ football tickets. Is Jack still chasing the beauty in 329? Room 1-4-1 is trying to recuperate after those “graduation doubtful” cards. It’s really a shame, incidentally, how many of those who started out as 65'ers will not graduate with us. On the other hand, congratulations to Donna Allen of 141 for making the credit rolls. They are beginning to wonder why John stopped giving Sandra music lessons. Were they on the wrong beat ? Why does the teacher look at Gloria, Susanne, Sandra, and Diana when the room is out of order? Why is Gloria always telling Susanne to turn around before school during a certain time? They want to thank George Bellofontaine for play- ing football so well and Susanne Albano for cheering the team on. Room 149 extends congratulations to Jo- Ellen Courtney for making honor roll. Why is it when Berrie is asked what color wood she prefers, she promptly replies tiny green wood ? They are wondering what it is Pauline REALLY got for her birthday. The four students on credit from one-fifty are Donald DiChappari, David Delnnocentis, Jean Dodge, and Mary DiPasquale. In that homeroom is the Senior Class President and basketball-baseball star, Joe DiSarcina. You can find Carl Dawkins, the champion high- jumper. there too. At recess the folks in 150 are regaled by a translation of the daily bul- letin into poetry. Joseph DeVito and Joseph DeMartino of that country are also some budding long distance runners. Room 151 is proud to report that the foot- ball team, composed of James Drinkwater, is in their room. The proctor and assistant are Ann Marie Downs and Elaine Druga-s, respec- Nincteen JUNIOR DANCE COMMITTEE '65 Aleto Talbot, Noncy Trojk, Richard Roppoli, Edward Hunt, Joanne Paul, tfctty Lucoo, Morcio Bloke tively, and bankers are Claire Eovine and Beatrice Farmakis. Claire was 151 8 con- tribution to the credit list, also. Three mem- bers of the class were in Talent Night. They are Beatrice Farmakis, Claire Eovine, and Linda Driscoll. Captain Kangaroo has a devout fan in 151, Gregory Eastman, who has difficulty tearing himself away from the Captain in the morning. Room 152 is all recovering from “report- carditis.” They send congratulations to John Garvey, of credit list fame. Why does John Gagliardi keep turning around? Why does Frank Forlizzi keep watching Ricci? By the way, what are your future plans, Ricci ? Why does Sharon keep eating her lunch during recess? Where did John Gigliardi get the nickname “Giggles?” They have discovered a new folksinger, who is threatening to retire Joan Baez to Beethoven Country! She’s Sharon, of course! Are Paula and Richie still fighting is the question pestering 154 these days. Why does Pat Hansen come into the homeroom with love in her eyes? Why does Diane wear her hair half way down her back? Why does John Griffin come to school at 8:29? For whom does Bob Hamwey wait during first period ? Most of 241 is back into the swing of things, after recuperating from the “restful” Thanksgiving “vacation” (at which time they were swamped with more homework than given the previous two weeks!). Cons- tance Irwin delivered that room from evil by achieving credit first quarter. Also high- lighting their merits was Dennis Kaskavigi’s “A” in deportment which rather surprised him, no less than it surprised us. “Congrats” to Maureen Knight, proctor, whose advertise- ment appeared in the S.H.S. Art Section of the Somerville Journal. Mike Kaminski seemed to be peddling Tri-Hi-Y mints earlier this month. He hopes to join the group soon. Irene Kalyonides, treasurer, did a fine job as soloist and pianist at the Glee Club Talent Night. Tidbits ala two-four-one: Joanne Kashishian is letting her hair down . . . Donna Kelleher is posing for pictures . . . some people are starting to mimeograph absentee notes. Everyone in 244 is preparing for the best time of year . . . MIDTERM! Some of those optimists are really starting the year off well: three girls, Diane Manetta, Diane Martin, and Karen McCarthy, achieved credit. Come on, fellows, let’s not make it look bad for you! The success of Talent Night is partly due to Karen McCarthy’s exciting tap dance. Frank Maniglia’s voice in the Twenty Boys’ Glee Club also helped. Applause for Frank also, for receiving an honorable mention listing on the All-Scholastic Football Team. Who is going to win the award for “After-School Kid?” Who might be the “Late Arrival of the Year?” Why does Lor- raine Ma-zzone look forward to Monday nights? And Diane, why did you stop in front of an ambulance? What is it about book- keeping that ties John McManus’s stomach in knots? Who is this Jackie about whom we hear so much? Room 243 signs in with best wishes for Ben Levy, who made max, and for Richard Lepore and Harold Lim, who made credit. Many of the folks are getting ready for col- ledge boards, and Dave Liberatore is practic- ing Figure 8’s for hockey season. Louis Lev- erone and Mike Madsen are running around the library every day for the track team. Didn’t Ricky Lepore do a- fine job conducting the football rally? Why does the word “please” always “become written” on the front board at short recess? After the first report cards. Room 250 is happy to say that Anita Russo and Frances Rotondo made honor roll. They would also like to congratulate Charles Schiappa, Cyrus Richard, Sandra Sandoval, Josephine Roche, and Ronald Robinson for passing their driving permit test. Which girl in 250 never wants to have any fun? Who is always in such a rush to get to third period? Which two boys always just miss getting their John Hancocks on the board? Felicitations to Marinella and Charlie of 247 for making credit first quarter. The other people in the area plan to make it 100'a next time! Why does Jimmy O’Connell stay after school with the teacher so much ? What happened to Rosey “Crusher” Nardone’s eye? Did she really fall down? How come Adrian O’Brien won’t pay up on the Yeark- book ? What does he do with his wealth ? Why is Marinella always yelling at her class- mates? Has she no patience? Who is the “Alice in Wonderland” of 247, eh Joanne? Hark! From out of the depths of Room 252 come mysterious drumbeats . . . and if they don’t stop they might get hit with those eight periods the teacher has been threaten- ing! Why has Tony Tedesco suddenly decided to become a poet? Treasurer Dale Strein does not convey the image of a conservative banker! Why does Dennis “Curly” Trundy hate to have people touch his hair? Glorious salutations to Nancy Trask and Aleta Talbot for their performance in the Talent Show. Will success spoil Sal Trapani? Someday everybody will get a shock when 252 gets JUNIOR DANCE KING ond QUEEN CLASS OF '65 Paulo Vozzcllo, James Drinkwotcr out on time at two o’clock! Frances and Nick Tenaglia wouldn’t be related, would they? Which cute blonde is Don Tims's idea of a perfect girl? Is he asking seriously? Naw! Room 254 storms in at the tail end of Senior Chatter! Best wishes to Beverly Williams, Eleanor Willis, and Dorothy Wal- lace for successfully getting their driver's licenses and for remaining accident-free, too. The homeroom hope Patricia Wakefield has recovered from her recent car “mishap.” Charles Wilder, Florence Warnock, and Joan Whitney well represented the room at the Glee Club’s Talent Night in November. Here's wishing Charlie Wilder the best of luck during the basketball season! From the editors of Senior Chatfe� and a’l the Senior Reporters, MERRY CHRISTMAS and a very HAPPY SENIOR YEAR!

After a long, restful Christmas vacation, the Class of 1966 will happily begin a new year without a care in the world, except for a very minor problem, MIDTERMS! Oh, well, try to look on the bright side of life. We have a fine roster of class officers, a great Junior Dance to look forward to, and the Tech Tourney. And with that, we bring you the latest from the S.H.S. Newsroom! Attention girls: If you want to buy some cosmetics, come down to Room 24 and ask for Sal Abramo (O.K. Sal, there’s your plug.) They have a future nurse in their midst, Carol Alley, but she'll have to do something about her cold hands. An invitation to those of you who like to watch remarkable feats at lunch: See Camille Azzolino eat the biggest apple you have ever seen! The most likely to succeed in our class is none other than Charles Ashby. Congratulations to Diane Amara for making maximum credit, and to Camille Azzolino, Maria Antonini, Anna Ac- cetta, and Patrick Annese for making credit. Our bank treasurers are Carol Ascolio and Frieda Anognostov. We are wondering what happened to Rosie Amabile and Joe Cavviero. Diane Amara and Sal Abramo have just dis- covered that they are third cousins. Last but not least, there is Steven Acheson, a member of the Radio Club. Room 27 would like to congratulate Lorna Brace and Linda Brooks for making credit. What it is that makes Bobby Booth so popu- lar with the girls (especially that certain someone from Room 29?) The S.H.S. Wel- come Mat is put out for Jane Burbank, who comes to us from a girls’ school in Nashua, New Hampshire. We also wish to congratu- late Thomas Bourgeois on his election as Vice-President of the Class of ’66. 214, the happy homeroom, has many celeb- rities on whom the spotlight shines this issue. Pam and Ed Griffin seem to be having a good time down in the corner with their secrets. Marlene Gormadv still acts as if homeroom periods are one big party. Is it true that Diane Grund has nominated her- self as a committee of one to keep all women, dogs, and pigeons off the campus? Everyday at 2 P.M. a pow wow is held in Room 29 starring the BIG FOUR: The teacher, Thomas Cavanaugh, Sammy Cam- elio, and Richard Buss. Please, clear up the puzzle concerning the short recess. It seems that every day the doors are blocked by ardent admirers, who clamor at the doorway. What is the attraction 29 has for half the boys in the junior class? We should receive an award for always coming out on top, when the building master counts tardy slips. Thanks to the co-captains of the tardy team, Thomas Cavanaugh and Sammy Camelio. Room 127 is back with another report from the “special corner.” First, though, congratulations to Diana Durston, who made credit, and Joan and Kathleen Donovan, room Twenty-two proctors. It looks as though Larry and the teacher have buried the hatchet in the crisis over the lockers. Larry, along with all the rest now makes sure his locker is air-tight at 2:00! Now here’s the $250,000 question! Who uses the window on our door to comb his hair every recess? If anyone happens to see a car circling the area—it’s probably Bob and Co. Congratulations to Robert Driscoll on his election as Class Treasurer. From Room 129 come Christmas greetings to one and all! We congratulate Michael Edel- stein, who performed with his instrumental group, “The Powderhouse Four Plus One,” in Talent Night. On the credit list are Edward Dutra, Paul Eori, Michael Edelstein, and Linda Fair weather. The guys and gals in 331 are very proud of Janice Teta, who made credit the first quarter! They’ll probably make history for having the cleanest homeroom in the junior class, since they seem to be forever cleaning desks and chairs! The eager beavers in Room 30 wonder why the teacher keeps telling James Clark and all the Collinses to bring more books home. Could it be just because he likes to see people carrying books? Why is Rosey always waltz- ing in just before the last bell? How come Homeroom 30 always smells so sweet? Could someone have spilled perfume in the fifth row? Why is Kathy studying from a yellow book? Oh, no! She couldn’t be going for her driver’s license, could she? We’ve been hear- ing rumors about Marie Ciano making credit, but who knows? It seems that the Halo of Knowledge is also shining on the head of Frank Collins. Well, hope they’re not just rumors; they need a few “brains” to back them up! Although not a very famous homeroom, 221, the “Home of the Happy H’s,” boasts Bobby Hazard, a member of the football squad, and George Harrington, a member of the Radiator staff. Dorothy Guglietta and Paula Hawley are the two trustworthy room bankers. Who is the “Miss Important” that Bobby Haynes rushes off to meet before the first period? Maybe he walks her to class. How about it, Bob? Why doesn’t Leland SOPH HOP COMMITTEE '66 1— Anne Morie Orlando, Dionna Robbins, Marilyn Tucelli, Jonis Tctto. 2— Robert Curran, Ronald Silvestri, Potrick Aneisc, George Stavrinos. Howard ever speak to Virginia- Hastings? Who is the girl who receives all of George Harrington’s notes, or is there more than one? Eh, George? The notables in Room 225 are Janice Kirk- land and Sophie Kozlouska, bank treasurers, and Donna Larise, class proctor. Why does Jean Kozaek always talk to David Langoni? Did Richard Kovocev really break up with Rosemary ? Peggy Wessick brought honor to Room 334 by making credit first quarter. Boys in that homeroom all pay attention to one girl, Jessica Silari! What’s her secret boys? The members of 224 are all glad that re- port cards are over, and are proud that James Ianello made max credit for the fourth time since he came to Somerville High. Congratu- lations to Michael Jacques who won himself a trip to California and to Frankfurt, Ger- many, to compete in the world chapion skat- ing finals. They also have a- member of the hockey team in the room, Ed Keefe. They’re all happy that Kevin Kelley made the finals for Junior Class President. Why can’t the table hold up one typewriter? Could there be termites? Room 31 congratulates Robert Curran for being elected the Junior Class President. They would like to thank the teacher for dismissing them at 2:00 on the dot. Their class bankers are Maria Costarelli (who is Twenty-three Beatle crazy) and Nancy Corbin (who is crazy about a certain sophomore.) Proctor is Carol Correnti, and treasurer is Diane Covi- ello. Does the teacher know that Carol Corn- ing and Carol Correnti eat candy while he reads the bulletin? Does Louis D’Agosta ever keep quiet? Listen my students and you shall read “class chatter,” from 232. To start off, they would like to congratulate the substitute teacher for doing such a fine job and they wish Mrs. Scully a very speedy recovery. They miss her very much! George is one of the members of S.H.S.’s hockey team. They would like to know where the Miss X is who comes to the room at 2:00 and hugs Sal. Their student patrol is quite busy trying to keep up with the members. They’re the slow ones of the bunch! To the “star” of Room 232: keep up the good work, “Billy Boy,” and you may be with the Beatles next year (to take Ringo’s place.) YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! Room 235 is sorry that they didn’t make it last issue, but they’re not going to miss this one! First of all, they would like to say con- gratulations to the class proctor, Kathy Ryan, and banker, Cecilia Rudski, who wants to know why Nicky Ritrovato always puts up such a fuss about banking and then ends up giving the most, which makes the room 100' '. They would like to wish John Ronayne luck on the hockey team, and we hope Robert Romano can stay in tune for the glee club. The big question in 235—whose rings are Jirina and Adelaide wearing? The class, after much careful study, has come up with the ideal boy. He must have John Ronayne’s hair, Michael Reppucci’s eyes, Francis Roark’s physique, Richard Rodgers’ constant smile, and Paul Robichaud’s studious attitude, but when it comes to personality, it’s a 14-way tie! Those in 213 would like to say that Gary Gillis has spent less time in school than any other student! Nancy Gill is homeroom lover of stenography and Maureen is lover of typing. Bruce Gaudet is the homeroom flirt, Alan Galadis is the teacher’s PEST. Pat Fugarazzo is the homeroom teaser, especially towards the Radiator reporter. They would also like to commend George Gagalis (chief money collector,) who is still pulling for our class dues. Now for some important ques- tions: Who is the boy Nina Galante has been going with for the past year? Why do the Flannery Sisters come to school at different times? Could it be that Rita gest a ride from a certain boy? Which blond-haired girl in the fifth row (Maureen Galvin?) is still com- plaining buying tickets? Three cheers for Pat Fugarazzo, the only one in the room who made credit! Guess what! In 332 broken desks have finally been fixed! Miracles, miracles! Con- gratulations to Paul Van Steensburg for the great job he did as chairman of the drive to elect a new mascot. Who is the guitar player whom Rosie is always praising? Which one of Diane’s four favorite friends had his tonsils out recently? By the way, how’s the hockey team, Nick? Why does Jeanie always get to read the Proclamations? Hats off to Diana Lyon of 227 on her win- ning the Amos Alonzo Stagg Award for demonstrating leadership, talent, and co- operation last summer at Glen Park. Linda Lorenzo made credit for the first quarter. Another medal is going to be awarded to Marguerite LoNano for her recent feat of bravery—killing a common fly. (Oh, I’m sorry, Marguerite, it was a bee!) Room 329 would like to start off by con- gratulating Ronald Silvestri for making maximum credit and Bruce Shlager and Judith Sherman for making credit. Ronald, Bruce, and Charles Shubow are Student Council representatives; Marlene Souza is a majorette. On Talent Night Bruce played the piano and George Smith played the drums. Congratulations to Tony Sillari for making the basketball team, and Judy Sherman who is vacationing in Italy. As you see, 329 is Twenty-four quite an active room and hopes that it stays that way. Room 324 is revealing the results of the race between Roberta and Janice for the most talkative girl in our room. Although it was a pretty close race, we think Roberta deserves the reward. After all, two hundred minutes is a long time to stay after school. They are proud to have with them Frederick Rackmil, who made maximum credit (eight A’s!) Daniel Quarante is still on the run and Richard Reavis is right behind him. Both of them are track stars. Folks are still hearing music in the room from the three Glee Club members; Andrew Pulgia, Kenneth Pondelli, and Jacqueline Rando. The faithful Future Teachers, who never miss a meeting, are Rosemary Picardo and Barbara Prichard. Rosemary is also the best board washer any one cpuld have. Who keeps Paul Pigone from hearing the bulletin? Does anyone know what the booby prize was that Linda Plisko and her team won for coming in last in the Tri- Hi-Y scavenger hunt? Room 234 would like to extend its greet- ings to its homeroom teacher, who is teach- ing here for the first time. We’d also like to know if Thomas O’Brien has plans for the girl to whom he gives his cookies? Room 32 would like to congratulate Kenny DeVellis for making the basketball team. Class proctor, Cecelia DeVellis, is still haunt- ing Paul DiSisto for his class dues. Why does Kenny DeVellis wear tight sweaters? Why was the teacher so surprised to see A’s in deportment from his homeroom class? Does anyone know how Stephen Dellesola really broke his leg? Why is Harry DeLellis so quiet? Is Janice Denaro still trying to sell candy mints? Who are the call inspectors? Is it true that algebra is Patty Dellanno’s favorite subject? What does Joseph DiBello do in his spare time ? Well, we've exhausted the “grapevine” for this issue! Enjoy your Christmas vaca- tion because when you come back next year, those horrible Midterms await you! We wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The Sophomore Class of ’67 should be congratulated. We’ve spent one whole quarter at S.II.S. and we’re still here, ready for more! We hope this issue will be just as entertaining and enlightening as the last. There is a certain girl in Room 309 who is secretly in love with RINGO STARR! Who could she be! To whom does John sing during homeroom period? What boy in our room sings and talks himself to sleep? What boy reads to himself almost everyday? What girl has her gum out of her mouth more than she has it in ? P.S. We have the only Sophomore class that has a- countdown at 1:55 P.M. We in 349 would like to know the reason why we’re still waiting to be dismissed after 2 o’clock. Could “the reason” have long brown hair? How come everybody is so Twonty-Gve generous, except our proctor Lela Romano? If yelling is heard, don’t worry; it’s probably only Lois and Steve. The way they fight you’d think they were related. Is something brewing between Chncky and Linda? Why is he always tapping her on the shoulder? As usual we didn’t break our delightful 3 year record of “0” credit makers, but, then there’s always next quarter. Sorry Room 52 missed last issue, but we are ready for this one. First a cheer for Jimmy DePaulo, our football candidate and Cosmo DiChiappari, our Italian Club repre- sentative. Why does Mary DiCiaccio always wear her red and white sweater? Do you notice how Edmund Denti spends his home- room time? How come Jimmy DePaulo is always late for his English class and WHO is the Linda he talks about? Some of the questions plaguing the schol- ars of Room 354 are: Does Paulette, who has geometry the first period, really give the test answers to the third period class? Why is it that Juniors and Seniors are invited to the Sophomore Hop when Sophomores aren’t allowed at Junior and Senior dances? We would also like to know if the boy Jeanne is always talking to at recess is her boyfriend? Such vital, thought-provoking questions as those, continue to keep us knowledge-hounds of 354 from sleeping at night. Well, we’re beginning to wonder if 347 is as exciting as is heard. There’s one way to find out; we’ll ask Antonia. We noticed lately that since Susan Powers and Janice Pratti made credit they both seem unusually happy, and by some strange coincidence so do the Reppucci brothers. It seems that our myste- rious Quinn did so well on his report card that he has turned to locker stuffing. Slight mistake in our last issue, Linda Richardson is our treasurer. We have a human computer that comes in very handy to the teacher, she's Linda I.B.M. Publiafico. This is Room 10 reporting. Our bankers are Sally Wright and Christine Wiggitt. Our class proctor is Jane Worthington. Now let’s look into classes: the official classroom chatterers are Arlene and Karen. Who’s the redhead that walks Chris to all her classes? Why can’t Lorraine get her homework done? Does Randy like Judy? What do Pat and Charlie talk about in biology? Room 110 would like to congratulate Robert Crampton for making credit first quarter. In our room we have a future teacher, Eleanor Corcoran and a future nurse, Ann Coronella. These girls are also in G.A.A. Can anyone tell us what Ann and Tommy are always talking about? This is Room 341. Doesn’t Joan Mello’s chewing gum ever lose its flavor? Did David McNeal write T-H-E G-R-E-A-T on his desk cover or was it already there? Room 345 has a lot of questions to ask. First, who’s the girl on our room that flips and goes into hysterics when you mention the name “Ben?” Does some certain reporter know this person’s name? Well, if she does, keep it quiet please. Question two, who is the boy in our homeroom, while having the first period next door, suddenly comes flying through the wall? Does he think he’s super- man? Is it that he just can’t bear leaving his homeroom, or is it that he doesn’t like the smell of cigars? Well, at any rate he’s back next door every first period. Would any- body like to see a track meet? Well, you will if you come up to 345 and see the race as to who gets to read the bulletin before the teacher gets back. Room 344, announces not only a queen but a king of the gum chewers. Joseph Omo- grosso elected by a strong majority. If any- one has an extra lifesaver, be sure to drop by and give a donation to the “Margaret O’Hal- loren Lifesaver Fund.” A few questions: Why does Frances Musto rush to business third period? Does she really dig business transactions? Who reads “Baby Huey” funny books during homeroom period? We all like Ginny Murray’s new hair-do. Who rides a sleigh to school now that winter is here, someone imitating Sergeant Preston of the Yukon? Room 210 congratulates Janet Kasperwicz, Carol Johanson, and Donna Huntley for making credit first quarter. Our class proctor, whom we finally elected, is Robert Judge. Did you know that one of those twirling Pil- Twcn� y- ix grims at half time on Thanksgiving Day was Carol Johanson? Help! Does anyone know who Anita’s friend with the initials P. G. is? A note to all of you who will be attending basketball games this year; keep your eyes on Chandler Johnson, one cf Western’s star players of last year. He made the J.V. team. 341 congratulates Francesca McRae and Frances Mercauto for making credit. What happened to the boys? Why does Jimmy McGonigle drop his books before every period? Why does Linda pass her homework to Pat? Is she smarter? Wonderers from 341 want to know why our blackboard is fading. Is it because Bernie Melusky has to wash it so often? If he’d be quiet for a change he wouldn’t have to stay after to do it. Room 306 is happy to announce that Douglas MacAUister, Marietta Maffeo and Donna Mahaney made credit. We hope that there will be more next quarter. Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll have a few making maxi- mum. Confidentially to members of 301: while they’re putting in lockers in your room, how about persuading them to put a few in 306. We’d greatly appreciate it. Room 352 would like to say “Hooray,” to Mary Tobin for making credit, but not for collecting class dues. Are you having prob- lems, Mary? Looks like Tony Tisei’s friends had him over a barrel for a while but every- thing is straightened out now. Isn’t it, Tony? Claire, how many boxes of Christmas cards have you sold for the Players’ Club? Did you lose count? Almost every morning you can find Joan Thomas strolling into the room any time between 9 o’clock and 10:30. We wonder if she has an alarm clock. Maybe she takes the .short cut to school. Is Dave Ebbs putting us on, or is there really something going between the first occupants of rows 1 and 2 in Room 205? Good luck to Frank Festa and Steve Epps in track this winter! Alright, Lenny, just who is it you’re after in 205? (We won’t tell.) John Ferola and Dave Ebbs felt left out be- cause their names didn’t appear in last issue for being in J.V. football. Maybe this will make up for it... . John Ferola is on the hockey team. Congratulations to Claire Flan- nary for making credit, the only one from our room. We, the people of 206 are proud to an- nounce a budding romance. It seems that ‘certain girl’ and the ‘blond casanova’ have a thing going. Playing cupid can be real fun. Room 45 wants to know why Janet Zibrof- ski is always looking in Room 52 before school. Chris Yonkers happens to think he has a good voice so we girls keep telling him that he does. Terry Bouchie and Charles Salvo seem to have a good time in our Geography class, telling secrets. Paul Zippolo thinks he has a lot of talent with the girls. This wraps up the Soph chatter for this issue but we’ll see all you happy readers after mid-years. They can’t be as bad as everyone says they are. Of course, we, the ingenious members of the class of ’67 are prepared for almost everything. The only complaint we have now, is that there isn’t any excuse for us when we’re caught going the wrong way in the corridor at the wrong time.

Because of the muddy field, Somerville’s passing attack could not get off the ground, and the whole offense suffered. After a scoreless half, Chelsea marched 65 yards in eight plays, capped by a four-yard plunge by halfback Jack Griffin. Somerville High challenged twice, reaching the Chelsea 15 in the first quarter, and the 25 yard line in the last quarter. The final score of the game was Chelsea 7 and Somerville 0. This was the “Red Devils” first victory since October, 1960. Somerville vs. New Bedford The “Red and Blue” chalked up their second win of the season by shutting out the New Bedford “Whalers” by the score of 13- 0. After a scoreless first quarter, Somerville marched 75 yards for a touchdown, with Co- captain Rick Lepore scoring from the five yard line. In the final quarter the senior quarterback scored again, this time from the three yard line to climax a sustained march of 91 yards. This was one of the best games of the season for our boys and we would especially like to congratulate our defensive team which held New Bedford scoreless through four quarters of rough and tumble Class “A” football. Somerville vs. Malden Pearl Street Stadium, Malden, was desig- nated a diaster area by Coach Nunziato after the “Golden Tornadoes” of Malden rolled over Somerville by the score of 42-8. Malden capitalized on every break that came their way, turning a fumble recovery and two pass-interceptions into scores. Both quarter- back John Salmon and fullback Joe Fermano scored two touchdowns. Somerville’s only touchdown was scored by Frank Maniglia, who also caught a pass from Ron Blakney for the two-point conversion. Somerville vs. Everett A 55 yard pass from Frank Ciampi to Frank Stevenson in the closing minutes of the game gave unbeaten and untied Everett a 12-7 win over the Somerville eleven. Everett started the scoring in the second quarter with a drive covering 37 yards. Somerville came right back and marched 48 yards when Jim Drink water collected six points to tie the score. Ron Blakney kicked the extra point to put Somerville into the lead. With less than two minutes remaining in the game, Ciampi threw the bomb to thwart Somerville’s chances for the biggest upset of the year. Some people might say that we did not have a very strong football team this year, but don’t try to tell that to the Everett team.

Somerville vs. North Quincy North Quincy came from behind to upset Somerville High 16-6 at Dilboy Field. Jim Drinkwater scored for the “Red and Blue” after Somerville had driven 71 yards in ten plays following the opening kickoff. This lea l stood until the second half when North Quincy quarterback Richie Wanless scored two touchdowns and two conversions for the “Raiders.” Even though Somerville lost their sixth encounter, they played a well-fought ball game. Somerville vs. Waltham In the traditional Thanksgiving Day game, Waltham avenged their last two turkey-day losses by defeating our boys by the score of 38-0 at Leary Field in Waltham. Waltham’s quarterback, Bob Connors, played an out- standing ball game, scoring two touchdowns and passing for another. Somerville never threatened, as it was unable to penetrate a stalwart Waltham defense, and finished the season with a record of two wins and seven losses. Although the season might have been a disappointment to some, we can all be proud of the spirit and sportsmanship displayed by our football team at all times on the field. We must remember that we are a Class “A” team and have, perhaps, the toughest schedule in our league. We can be sure that our new coach, John Nunziato, is not dis- couraged and that we can look forward to better things in the future. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE December 11 Law. Cen.

LOMBARD The students and faculty of Somerville High were grief-stricken by the sudden death of Mr. Richard M. Lombard on Decem- ber 20, 1964. Mr. Lombard who held both a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degree from Boston College, had been a member of the faculty since 1947. He held an important position in the Personnel Department while teaching history and public speaking in the classroom. Mr. Lombard took great interest in civic and community affairs and was very active in them for many years. He was a member of the Board of Directors of the Somerville Hospital, a member of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society, and a mem- ber of the Tapper Club. He was a model teacher ambitiously engrossed in his work, an understanding friend to his students’ problems, and most of all, a man to whom all students could look up with pride. MISS LEACH On January 31, Miss Elizabeth F. Leach, an English teacher for over thirty-seven years at Somerville High, retired. Miss Leach has devoted her entire life to gathering knowledge, which she in turn could impart to her students. Her quest for learning led her to the ends of the globe. As an English teacher she traveled extensively throughout Great Britain, and has become familiar with places which have had direct ties with the evolution of English literature. Besides journeying throughout the Continent, Miss Leach served as an exchange teacher in NOVEMBER ELEVENTH (In Memoriam the boys of Somerville High School who gave their lives in World War I) Not merely names upon a bronze placque carvcn Or cut enduringly in building stone. But back of them, the motives for their going, Those boys for whom today we would atone! For somewhere 'neath the surface of our living Lies Yesterday and everything it cost... Teach us, O God, by humble dedication Some way to compensate for what we lost. SUNFLOWERS IN B M YARD Between North Station and Lechmere Square, Where the Metro Transit comes up for air, There has lain a section of littered ground Which Esso Oil tankers skirt around. But, yesterday, to my glad surprise, As I gazed on this spot with commuter eyes, Bright yellow sunflowers! True, no frills— They could hardly equal first daffodils. But even Wordsworth would feel it right To pen some verses at this fair sight Of nature striving to compensate For railroad tracks and a city’s freight. Hawaii, and recently visited Africa on Safari. The faculty will probably remember Miss Leach most for her original poems which she wrote for their private functions. Her work in poetry went beyond this, and in 1963 “Boston in my Blood,” a booklet of her poems, was published. Miss Leach will al- ways be remembered by her students as one who fully dedicated herself to her profession in order to enrich their lives. Here are some selections from Miss Leach’s poems: NATIVES RETURN TO THE HUB I knew you ten long years ago, When fresh from Harvard’s ivied halls You squired me to football games And thence to many balls. Too soon, in vain pursuit of wealth, You wandered far away. I heard last week, you had returned. You called on me today. Alas! I noticed when you called That you are getting rather bald. But what was really worse than that, You noticed I am growing fat. HARVARD COMMENCEMENT HAT She hoped that the boy friend would notice Her gown, both so modish and new, Or remark her chapeau was becoming And flattered her eyes of deep blue. When she asked for his “candid opinion” On her hat, all too promptly he said, “Oh, I see that you have a new model— It’s vastly too big for your head.” She wanted his candied opinion: She got what she asked for instead. Three WHO’S THE SUB? Allan Howe 65 Because of the flu epidemic during the last few months, the students of Somerville High have had an excellent opportunity to observe an unusual but fairly common crea- ture known as the substitute teacher. This unfortunate person is thrown into a room with as many as thirty pupils who are overjoyed at finding a victim for the bottled- up frustrations caused by the iron rule of their regular teachers. The “sub,” sensing the present danger and the potential energy caused by the releasing of these emotions, instinctvielv takes refuge behind that im- pregnable fortress of the teaching profession —the teacher’s desk. What happens from that moment on is dependent upon the sub. Therefore, the re- sults are as varied as the personalities of the substitutes themselves. From my obser- vations, I can divide the differing substitute personality types into four categories. The first is the “green” substitute. This is usually either a practice teacher or a recent college graduate still searching for his pur- pose in life. This type is very easy to get along with because if he tries to teach you something (this is rare) a concerted effort on behalf of the students can. usually con- fuse him sufficiently so that he abandons trying to teach for fear of confusing you. The green substitute is a very weak species, and since, in substitute teaching, the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest prevail, this type is relatively short-lived. The green sub eventually gives up and decides to lead a comparatively quiet and easy life, so he joins the Peace Corps. The second type is the “professional” substitute. This person is in the subbing business for profit, not adventure. This type is very familiar to everyone. In fact, most students know this species of sub so well that they are almost on a first name basis with him. Meeting the professional sub so often can work to your disadvantage if you have ever made a bad impression on him. I am continually encountering a sub whom I hit with a paper airplane in the ninth grade, and I always have the uneasy feeling that he has never forgiven me. The third species is the “old school” type. This type believes that pupils should listen attentively to everyhing the teacher has to say and not say a word unless called upon. If that’s not bad enough, the old school sub is prepared to use coercion to back up his threats. I believe I can say that the totally un-American theory of education advocated by the old school substitute has been rejected by modern, progressive, American society and the old school sub is practically extinct. The last type of substitute teacher has come into the field of education to fill the vacuum caused by the rapid disappearance of the old school sub. This new species can best be described as the “buddy” type, because in his work with students he tries to relive the rapport with the teen-age set that he once enjoyed. This type can be very danger- ous, though, because in his folksy way he may try to convince you that some of his prejudices nurtured by his “experiences” in the world are correct. I have witnessed a buddy substitute trying to convince pupils that Latin is a dead languague and is there- fore useless and another buddy type trying to tell a Rutgers appliant that Rutgers had to take a back seat to the sub’s small un- known college in the backwoods. This species can be detrimental to the youth of America; so, beware! Before the school year is over you may have the opportunity to be taught by one or more of these types of substitute teachers. Remember their inherent dangers and weak- nesses, but, above all, be on your best be- havior and give them a chance. I say this not only because a school is judged largely by its student body, but also because, you never can tell, in the not too distant future, you may be seated behind that “impregnable fortress” and be grateful for all the co- operation you receive from your students. Four THE M.B.T.A. Stanley Vergnani ’67 A problem which affects most of us living in Eastern Massachusetts is the constant quarrels about the Mass. Bay Transportation Authority, formerly the M.T.A. Financially it is a failure. Millions of dollars have been pumped into this thorn in the taxpayers' side. Servicewise it is inefficient. However, rather than criticize its shortcomings, we, the public, should unveil its chief problems and offer suggestions for eliminating them. Labor is a basic problem. Too many people being paid too much money is a common fault among many of our government agencies. Automation has replaced many jobs in offices and on trains. Yet, with unions as strong as they are it is almost im- possible to prune the labor force without bringing about a major strike. However, through retirements, resignations, etc. the payroll might be shortened. So time may solve one problem. Service to the public is by far the most important aspect of public transportation. Citizens who deposit their dimes in the fare boxes are entitled to rapid, convenient bus transportation. Why then, does the average commuter have to wait 20 or 30 minutes for a bus? Then, when it finally arrives, why is there another often traveling the same route, right behind it? Is it faulty timing? Is it drivers that don’t give a hoot? In either case the innocent commuter is the victim. The M.B.T.A. is a vital link in Massachu- setts’ economic prosperity. Without it Bos- ton’s industry would grind almost to a stop. It brings us to our jobs, to shopping centers, and it provides a safe and speedy method of getting to school. If this service is so es- sential, why doesn’t the public support it. rather than attack it? Public support is a crucial factor in any government project. Yet, the M.B.T.A. is at present a scapegoat for the public. It seems that practically every corruption and fault in our state government is in some way caused by the M.B.T.A. The apathy of people who very seldom use the buses has led them into the crowd that openly opposes its operation. The next few months might see an im- provement in the M.B.T.A. With a new manager and some minor alterations, the M.B.T.A. might be able to lift its face from the rubble of the Old Boston, and get into step with the New Boston. “ONE NATION UNDER GOD Benjamin N. Levy ’65 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indi- visible, with liberty and justice for all. All of us know this as the Pledge of Alle- giance, for it is a part of the opening exer- cises in our schools under Massachusetts law and School Committee directive. It must be known by immigrants applying for natural- ization and is a requirement for voter regis- tration in some states. The Pledge was instituted by Act of Con- gress, but its primary form did not contain the words “under God.’’ This was inserted during the 1950’s under the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. With regard to recent Supreme Court rulings af- fecting the constitutionality of school prayers, these two short, mono syllabic- words, having only eight letters between them, have taken new significance. Many of the atheists, agnostics, existentialists, and what-nots who prosecuted the prayer case claim that this harmless phrase should also be cast aside. Such an action would, of course, be alien to the very essence of Ameri- can republican government, w h i c h was originally declared by “appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world.” In this light, it is most interesting to note that “one nation” and “under God” are contiguous in the Pledge; there is no comma between them be- cause they are closely related ideas. The Class of 1929 of Somerville High donated a bronze plaque of the Pledge to hang in the Clayton Ellis Auditorium. The text, however, excludes the important “under God” phrase. It would be most fitting if the Five 1965 Class Gift were a new plaque bearing the complete wording. Such a presentation would be a permanent contribution to the High School, and could, perhaps, be given in memory of deceased faculty members. Other classes have given similar gifts: for instance the plaque dedicating the auditorium and the name of the High School over the entrance to the Central Building. Most important, it would remain as a renewed expression of our “firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence.” BOSTON GLOBE HIGH SCHOOL EDITORS’ PRESS CONFERENCE On Tuesday afternoon, February 2, 1965, the Boston Globe held a press conference at the Sheraton Plaza Hotel for the editors of high school magazines. On hand as the principal speaker was Mr. Robert Novak, a noted Washington reporter and co-writer of “Inside Report,” a column which appears in the Globe. Mr. Novak has recently written a book, titled “The Agony of the G.O.P. in 1964,” in which he explains his views on the present state of the Re- publican Party. His address centered chiefly around the G.O.P. and President Johnson’s “Great Society.” He stated that the “Great Society” is primarily designed to eliminate friction between national groups and .ease the con- flicts between political parties; in other words, to bring everyone under one roof. He pointed to the President’s recent govern- mental appointments as examples of balanc- ing political feelings by choosing a mixture of liberals and conservatives. For the Republican Party he predicted a gloomy future unless they secure added sup- port among the voters and win some major elections. He conceded that the G.O.P. is having a good year in Massachusetts in comparison with other states. Then the students fired their political questions at him and he gave his opinions on such issues as Johnson’s success in Con- gress, the Kennedys’ future in politics, civil rights, and what the future holds for the more prominent Republicans. Somerville High’s delegation consisted of Marinella Nannini, Dale Triber, Nancy Wis- wall, Linda Wright, Shirley Sotiros, Allan Howe, Benjamin Levy, Richard Halverson, Frederick Rackmil, and Stanley Vergnani. SOPHOMORE ELECTIONS Elections for the Sophomore Executive Board were held recently. The twelve candi- dates delivered speeches to the Sophomore Class on February 9. Elections were held the following day. The four students elected to the Executive Board were: Carol Johanson, Helen Milanno, Philip Vaccaro, and Stanley Vergnani. Linda Donahue, Paula Fabiano, Deborah McCollem, and Helen Whitney were elected to the Student Counncil. These eight representatives chosen by the Sophomore Class are individuals who are capable and well suited for this job and they will surely represent their class as best they can. Con- gratulations to them all! MATHEMATICS COMPETITION Somerville High is proud to congratulate Gerard Cavanaugh, Benjamin Levy, and Frederick Rackmil, who achieved honor grades in a two-hour exam recently held at Somerville High for the First Annual Olym- piad High School Competition in Mathe- matics.

SAME STATION Frederick Kackniil '66 In the dark dawn of television history, be- tween the advent of the test pattern and the old movie, a small group of writers hatched a sinister plot aimed at undermining the en- tertainment tastes of a nation. The plot is called the family situation comedy. Its long history has seen the cancerous spread of the basic format from maids to monsters, horses to hillbillies. But now I want to take you back to that infamous day on which the classic TV family was conceived. From behind the upper left lobe of the amazingly small brain of a TV comedy writer, we can see that it is family reunion day in the milk toast and yogurt world of those re-run kings, the Andersons. “Don’t forget the potato salad, Bud,” calls Mr. Anderson in a firm, yet understanding voice. “Everyone’s waiting!” “OK, Dad, but why doesn’t the little runt (pointing good naturedly at Kathy) have to do anything?” “Come on, Bud!” orders Mr. Anderson in an angry, yet understanding voice. “Jim, I told Aunt Louise we’d be there by 2:00 an it’s almost 1:30 now!” twitters an anxious voice from the car. “Oh, Father,” says Betty. After various complications and commer- cials, we rejoin the group at Aunt Louise’s front door, where Jim is commenting in a mildly sarcastic, yet understanding tone, “Hope the old girl hasn’t been at the punch bowl again.” “Oh, Father,” says Betty. Aunt Louise answers the door and, al- though completely sober, throws her arms around Margaret, whom she has not seen for three days, while Bud smirks good-naturedly over the potato salad. “Oh, Bud,” says Betty. Inside the lavishly furnished barn sits the Anderson clan, congratulating themselves on how little they have changed since last year and gorging themselves with potato salad. “I want some punch,” whines Kathy sweetly. “Oh, Kathy,” says Betty. “Look! There’s good old Uncle Bill,” an- nounces Bud. The pot-bellied old man, who had been en- thralling his audience with stories of safaris in Africa and his impressions of Admiral Byrd, notices Jim. “Why, you old son of a gun!” bellows Bill. “Same old Bill,” mutters Margaret with an understanding sigh. “Oh, Mother,” says Betty. The day continues jovially until, two com- mericals later, Kathy, by now dying of thrist, knocks over the punch bowl while reaching for a glass; but her tears are dried by kindly, ancient Grandpa Anderson, who bounces Kathy on his knee and tells how his grand- father had acted the same way when Grand- pa Anderson had accidently burned down their log cabin. “It was a hot time in the old settlement that night!” says Bud. “Oh, Bud,” says Betty amid the general laughter. Theme music ... fade out... The Andersons are gone, but equally in- sipid situation comedies are becoming firmly entrenched in public favor, destined to be ended only by the aging of the younger characters. Of course a few shows break the trend, but most exist on a sugary mixture of uni- Sevcn versal goodness and minuscule problems, with plot lines as soggy as yesterday's spaghetti. In place of any realism, meaning, or real humor comes not the escapism which justifies a Napoleon Solo, but a comfortable kind of semi-stupor, in which the senses can function for an unconscious brain. Maybe someday we will come full circle and the networks will return to their original broadcasting output—test patterns. A SUMMER TO REMEMBER Linda Richardson 67 The cool sea breeze softly swept the brown bangs across the forehead of Karen Smith. She was not a tall girl; perhaps five feet two, built on fine lines without being thin. Her complexion was pale, eyes bluish-green, clear, and steady with the self-confidence of one who knows exactly what she is doing. Her expression was calm and thoughtful and con- veyed no hint of what she was thinking. The scent of the summer morning swel’.e in her nostrils she stood on the porch of her family’s summer house. Karen gladly thought of how the dark, cold winter had finally given way to the warmth and sun- shine of summer. Her suddenly perspiring hands clutched the handrail nervously as she quickly re- called all the fun of last summer. Karen had given her heart to a special boy that sum- mer. They spent the warm months together surfing, sailing, swimming or just soaking in the sun. With a soft breeze running through their hair and a bright moon sailing high in the sky, they would often walk along the white sand of the beach. Then, awaking bright and early to buttered waffles and orange juice, the pair would often go horse- back riding through the surf along the beach. Usually her eyes glowed and sparkled with all the happiness and sunshine of the world, but now they were in a dark, fixed stare. To Karen these memories were things to be remembered for surely she would never see any of these things again because during that long, cold winter she had been stricken blind. THE TENTH NIGHT Frank Corso ’65 William Howard Monk, renowned syndi- cated columnist for one of New York's most provocative newspapers, was working late in his plush Fifth Avenue office. The building was dark save for a single desk lamp, which sent its glaring rays filtering through the smoke-choked room. Mr. Monk was working on a special assignment that would, when finished, reveal the ringmaster of the city’s most notorious underworld gang. As he put the finishing touches on his first report, the great clock, barely visible through the thick columns of cigarette smoke, struck ten. Care- fully putting the report into his briefcase, Mr. Monk removed his heavy, black-rimmed glasses and, exhausted, rubbed his eyes and face. Getting his hat and coat and slowly packing the numerous clippings from which he had gathered his information, he switched off the light, locked the office door behind him, and made his way down the short, dark corridor to the elevator. Once on the street floor, Mr. Monk walked to the grand lobby entrance and went out. The thick glass doors closed behind him with an almost undetectible click. He hadn’t no- ticed, but it had rained. There was still a light mist in the air, and a cold, rasping wind blew from the north. Lighting a cigarette, Mr. Monk gazed down the broad, quiet boule- vard. The street lights, each spaced from the other by a regular interval of cold, wet pave- ment, were gloriously crowned by halos of glittering light. The sky, moonless and veiled with a thin layer of clouds, was very dark. The avenue was exceptionally quiet. Maybe it was because of the rain. Mr. Monk, putting up the black, fur collar of his coat so as to hide his face and protect it from the cold spray which filled the night with a ghastly wetness, started way down the dark, lonely street. It was not his custom to walk home, but ever since he had started this special project he found that the walk diminished his tension. Going home, he had to pass through the Oriental part of town. As he neared the dis- Fighf trict, the night was illuminated with hun- dreds of neon dragons and pagodas. These glaring monstrosities, however, did not affect Mr. Monk, who was much too tired even to notice them. He did notice one sign though, not because of the sign itself but because of the mysterious figure that seemed to be con- stantly lodged beneath it. For two weeks Mr. Monk had walked past this dragon, and each night that sinister figure watched him pass. This time, however, Mr. Monk did not pass by the sign but looked directly into the face of the phantom. The dark recesses of the doorway into which the figure had withdrawn were so dense that nothing of this person was visible, nothing, that is, except two cold and yet fiery eyes. Without uttering a word, the figure moved his arm in a gesture that said, “Follow. Something told him not to go with this unknown demon, but his curiosity was compelling. First, he checked the name of the street. The pole was in from the corner so that bright, red flashes of the neon dragon did not reveal the name inscribed upon it. Mr. Monk took out his lighter and struck it. The dancing flame illuminated the sign: Mountain High Valley Low. He followed the phantom. The street, flanked on both sides with tea houses and shabby antique shops, was cob- bled stoned and very dark, being spotted here and there by a few weak street lamps. There were no sidewalks and the darkness, com- bined with the mist and dank air, gave Mr. Monk an eerie feeling. The phantom said not a word, but only looked back over his shoulder at regular intervals to see if Mr. Monk was still following. As the two went deeper and deeper into the blackness, the street, now devoid of all light and filled with holes and treacherous ruts, branched off into many small alleys, creating a labyrinth of darkness and fear. At the intersection, the stones had been broken, and a great pool of murky water stretched as far as the eye could see. The figure went through the pool; Mr. Monk followed. The water, much deeper than he had anticipated, was nearly up to his knees. He almost abandoned his pursuit, but he was still curious. Finally the pavement re- appeared. Mr. Monk’s foot got caught in a crevice, and he stooped to release it. When he rose, the phantom had disappeared. He gazed about the alley into which he had been led. Rubbish and trash cans littered the street. All the stores were boarded up except for one in which there flickered a small light. Mr. Monk entered the establishment. There were a few tables and chairs placed at random positions around what obviously had been a restaurant. The candle rested up- on a mantel covered, as everything else in the store was, with a thick layer of dust and cob- webs. Without warning, the sinister phan- tom, clothed in a black tunic and turban, ap- peared from behind a dingy curtain. He motioned Monk to follow. Approaching the curtain with suspicion and restraint, Mr. Monk was astonished by what he beheld on the opposite side. It took a while before his eyes became ac- customed to the brilliance and richness of the inner room. Mr. Monk gazed upon a room so laden with Eastern splendor and glory that he had trouble believing it was all real. The floor of the chamber was of glazed tiles, intricately set so as to form graceful patterns of beauty. The walls were richly covered with wondrous tapestries beautifully illuminated by six oriental lamps of gold, hanging from the vaulted ceiling. Mr. Monk now noticed he wasn’t alone. In the corner of the room were three strangers, each richly adorned with radiant robes of spun gold. The man in the middle spoke. “Mr. Monk, our souls rejoice at your arrival. We have waited many months for you. The old man’s face was placid, express- ing almost no emotion. Nine “Why have I been brought here?” asked Mr. Monk in a low, bewildered tone. The chief priest gave a nod, and the bril- liant curtains at the front of the chamber parted. Again the priest spoke, this time in a mystic trance. “It has been spoken by the wisest sages in China; it has been written in our sacred scrolls, that our beloved master, Il-han, founder of this most sacred order of Kin. shall return one day, in the form of a mortal, to this his most holy sepulcher. You see be- fore you the remains of our beloved master. The wisdom of man has been able to preserve his body. Our master’s head, though, cannot be dealt with by mortal hands.” Monk looked at the embalmed corpse. The head of the man was terribly deteriorated. The priest continued. “Our prophecies tell us that Il-han shall walk again upon the earth and shall restore his most venerable head.” The priest came out of his trance and looked directly at Mr. Monk. “Look upon his face, Mr. Monk; tell me what you see.” Mr. Monk did as the sage directed. The sight made him faint. Then to his astonish- ment and horror, Mr. Monk saw what the old man was trying to tell him. The head was his. The priest saw that Mr. Monk knew and said, “Yes, Mr. Monk, you are the reincarna- tion of Il-han. You will give us your head.” “Are you mad, man? Can you know what you are saying?” Mr. Monk retorted. “It is written further,” the old man said with an air of authority, “that the head of Il-han will be restored on the tenth night of the tenth moon in the year of the dragon. This is the year of the dragon Mr. Monk; this is the tenth moon month, and the tenth night is but seven days hence.” Monk could say nothing. He stared at the figure lying before him and pondered his fate. While he was thinking, the three sages left the chamber. Mr. Monk was brought out of his thoughts by the sweet almost suffocat- ing fragrance of the incense now filling the room. He saw the passionless expression upon the face of the man who had led him to this room of horrors. He followed him out to the place of the neon dragon. Mr. Monk walked down the lonely street, pondering what had just happened. Was he to believe it, or was it all a bad dream ? The night was very cold, and a thick fog had crept over the city, obscuring even the flar- ing neon signs that glared all around him. Mr. Monk walked alone down the sidewalk, his only comforters, the echoing of his foot- steps and the deep lowing sounds of a distant harbor fog horn sending its morbid cries through the blanketed city. A week passed and through Mr. Monk’s efforts, the ringleader was convicted. Ever since the experience with the sages, Mr. Monk had driven home, making sure to avoid the Oriental part of the city. Tonight Mr. Monk, as he had been doing for a week, left his office at six o’clock and getting into his car drove home. While he was driving, he thought he noticed that a car was following him. Mr. Monk made a few List, unexpected turns to see if the car followed. It did. Pick- ing up speed, he tried to lose the two ominous headlights that glared in his mirror. Every attempt he made to lose them failed. Mr. Monk panicked and picked up speed again. He was going forty now. It was hard to steer through the crowded city streets at such a speed, and several times Monk nearly crash- ed. No matter what he did, he couldn’t shake the car. He thought it might be a group of the ring he had disbanded, out to take venge- ance. This thought only made him go faster. Mr. Monk kept a constant eye on the rear view mirror. Suddenly the two headlights turned into the glaring eyes of a dragon. Monk was struck with horror. He remem- bered the priest and his prophecy. Going mad with fear, he thrust the accelerator pedal to the floor, causing the car to leap forward with a burst of speed. The tires screeched with each corner Monk took. Then, without warning, a truck pulled out of a side street, cutting off Mr. Monk’s path. Monk swerved to avoid hitting it. There was a great crack of broken glass and grating metal. The car, turning over twice, came to a dead stop, Ten throwing Mr. Monk out onto the cold pave- ment. A crowd of people, seemingly coming from nowhere and yet coming from every- where, gathered around the accident. Screams of horror were sent up by those who viewed the wreckage. “His head! Where’s his head!’’ The police arrived at the scene and quickly dispersed the mob. They searched all night for the head of Mr. Monk, but they searched in vain. New York City fdes recorded that Mr. W. H. Monk, renowned columnist for the city’s most widely read newspaper was killed in an automobile accident on the corner of the street in the Oriental district known as Mountain High Valley Low. Manner of death, decapitation. This all happened on the sixteenth day of the second month in the solar year of nineteen hundred and forty- eight, the tenth night of the tenth moon in the year of the dragon. A ROBIN IS WAITING Fausto DiTuIlio '66 There is a time of the year when nature becomes as frisky as a newborn colt, and as beautiful as a meadow full of daisies. Man has designated this time of the year as spring. Oh, what a wondrous time it is. Nature sheds her winter coat and is reborn in a world cf green-splendor. It is a time for circuses and gaiety. It is time for the farmer to plow the l'resh earth, for cows to graze, for flowers to bloom and for love to flourish. Man, like the bear, awakens from his winter-long sleep and is again full of energy and vitality. Nowhere is spring so beautiful as in the country, where the smell of fresh-churned butter tempts your nostrils, and the hill- sides are covered with daffodils. In the valley can be seen a distant figure, yelling orders to his horse, as he begins to plow a field, just as his ancestors did centuries ago. The breeze is gentle, the sky is blue, and the bees are busily gathering their honey. Down by the lake anglers are patiently waiting for some innocent trout to take a bite of their bait. Whenever I’m in the country in the spring- time. I’m always tempted to run and jump throught the grass. Fortunately I never have, since it would be very embarrassing if anyone should see me. But it seems that everybody wants to do something out of the ordinary in the springtime. Poets have paid tribute to spring in numerous ways, but even their magical words cannot match the spring’s actual beauty. There is also the spirit of spring. Although you know that there is no actual change within you, there is no denying that you feel different and act differently. You are at peace with the world and with everyone around you. You know how I feel about spring. But the question is how do you feel about Spring? Is it just another season to you? If you feel this way, you have not yet learned to ap- preciate nature and her wondrous beauty. When you see a tree, do you ever stop to think how it grows or why it grows? If you are like most people you would think this is a very stupid question. Nature is for every- one to enjoy. I’m not suggesting that you become a naturalist. What I am suggesting is that you learn to appreciate nature, and what better time to do this than springtime. Even- tually your life will be much more reward- ing. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I believe I just heard a robin. Eleven CHANGES Paula Vozzella '65 It was September. Pat Forrest frowned at the sprinkling of freckles on her pert, turned-up nose, as she combed her sun- bleached hair. After Pat brushed her new cashmere sweater absent-mindedly, she walked downstairs for breakfast. The Forrest kitchen was fdled with the aroma of fresh coffee and bursting with warm September sunshine. Mrs. Forrest, a vivacious woman of forty, was at the stove cooking Pat’s favorite breakfast of french toast and sausages. When her daughter walked into the kitchen, Mrs. Forrest smiled affectionately. “Morning, Pet.’’ Pat’s mother had called her this ever since she could remember. “Morning, Mom,” Pat said glumly. “Why so sad?” “Oh, no reason,” Pat said slowly, rather awkwardly. Mrs. Forest sighed and thought about her daughter’s behavior. Ordinarily Pat was bub- bling over with fun. She should be even happier now, since she was accepted at the college of her choice during the past week. Oh well, teenagers were moody! I know what started this .Peter! Peter Stone was the boy who had always been Pat’s companion since grade school and who this past summer was her so-called “steady.” Everything had been fine until early August. Peter had been accepted at Harvard Medical School and he plannned to leave at the end of August. Pat wasn’t upset because Peter was leav- ing and would be living over a hundred miles from her. She had always felt that they would eventually marry but on their last date Peter had explained to her that becoming a doctor was a long hard pull. He said that he liked her, but couldn’t possibly plan for the future now. He said he would never forget her. Pat was so shocked that she couldn’t say anything except “good-bye” and “good luck.” Her whole world seemed to crumble. Pat decided that crying was useless and so she lapsed into a state of indifference. She re- fused to talk about Peter to anyone. Mrs. Forrest sighed again. “Pet, hurry up or you’ll be late.” Pat looked up startled. “Oh, I guess I was daydreaming.” Pat finished her coffee, wiped her mouth, and headed for the front door. “Bye, Mom.” “Bye. Pet, see you later.” Pat walked to school alone today, oblivious of the warm Indian summer day. This was her last year at Miller High School and she should have been enjoying herself, but she wasn’t. Miller High School loomed ahead, sur- rounded by lush greenery. Pat walked through the crowds—crowds of friends—her friends. She greeted them mechanically and stood as if in a dream. Somehow Pat survived the long school day and walked home alone again, thinking— thinking about Peter. As she neared home she stopped under the old elm. The elm where Peter had always parked his wonderful old jalopy. A tear came into her eye, she brushed it away. Glancing down at the street she noticed the oil stains from Peter’s car. Jokingly she had told Peter that those oil stains would be there forever. To her sur- prise the oil stains had grown dimmer. Then Pat realized that everything changes from day to day. People change and their feelings for each other change. Time erases the hurt, but never memories—the memories that make a person feel warm inside. Pat smiled to herself and ran up the front stairs.

The Somerville High School Hockey Team deserves credit for taking seventh place in the G.B.I. League. The hockey team works under many handicaps. Somerville has no skating facilities in which boys can practice. Also, there is little support from either the students of Somerville High or from the citizens of Somerville. Despite these handi- caps our goalie, Edward Cullen, was selected for the All-Star Team. The team finished the season with a record of 2-10-2. TRACK Somerville vs. Brockton.

Revere at Somerville. In our Greater Bos- ton League opener, the “Highlanders” rolled over a spirited team from Revere. With cries of “We want a hundred!” being chanted from a capacity crowd at the Somerville High Gym, our boys broke the magic number with two to spare as the score stood 102-74 when the final buzzer went off. This was the first hundred game registered in the Greater Boston League during the season and we hoped it would be a harbinger of things to come. New Bedford at Somerville. Somerville High made it three in a row by easily de- feating New Bedford 68-45. The “Whalers,” a newcomer to the Greater Boston League, tried gallantly, but were unable to overcome Somerville High’s control of the boards lead by Adrian O’Brien and Bob Peterson. Joe Di- Sarcina and Charlie Wilder were again the big offensive guns for the “Highlanders” scoring 23 and 21 points respectively. Somerville at Quincy. Somerville’s first trip away from home court proved disastrous as we sustained our first loss by the score of 72-61 at the hands of Quincy.

Somerville lost a squeaker when Waltham sneaked by our hoopsters by the score of 65-63. Although Somerville outshot Waltham from the floor, superior foul line shooting, where Walthan picked up 13 points to Somerville’s 9, spelled the difference. Somerville lead most of the way, but in the fourth period Waltham’s big center, Bill Judkins, hit five straight points to take over the lead. Our boys were fighting back and gained four points on Waltham in the final two minutes, but time ran out with Somerville two down. Charlie WildeL was mT 1 high for Somerville with 22 points. Somerville at Everett. Somerville High took the measure of a strong Everett team, and they outlasted them in overtime 77-73, in a game marked by strong offensive show- ings by both teams.

Our hoopsters de- feated Malden by six points, 72-66, to con- tinue on their winning way.

Somerville got off to a very slow start, and was down by one at the end of the first quarter. Then our boys stepped on the gas and outscored Revere 20-9, 25-10, 24-15, respectively in the final three periods. Somerville at New Bedford. Somerville entered the New Bedford game hoping to make it two in a row against the “Whalers.” This just wasn’t our night though, as our team was defeated by the “Whalers” 60-49. Peter Deranian was high for Somerville with 16 points. Quincy at Somerville. Somerville avenged an earlier defeat at the hands of Quincy by outlasting them 70-65 in a real thriller. Quincy was down 39-27 at half time but out- scored Somerville 24-14 in the third quarter to move within two points of tieing the game. We held on, however, and picked up three more points in the last stanza to win the game by five. Big Pete Gayeska was high man for Somerville with 18 points. Somerville at Medford. Somerville contin- ued in their winning ways by rolling over Medford by the score of 69-56. Wilder was Sixteen high man with 26 points and Melcher was close behind with 23. Somerville was leading by six points at half time and that lead was never challenged as Somerville won going away. Everett at Somerville. Our hoopsters were stopped by a powerful Everett team by the score of 67-63, in a close, well fought game. Everett’s center, Ed Suidet, put on a one man show scoring 38 big points for the visitors. Somerville surely missed the services of Captain Joe DiSarcina who was forced to miss the game on account of the flu. Abisso, Gayeska, and O’Brien were all high for Som- erville with 14 points apiece. Somerville at Malden. Somerville High won a “must” game from a determined Mal- den team by two points, 72-70, in a typical Somerville High seat squirmer. Captain Joe DiSarcina having recovered from his bou4. with the flu, was Somerville’s big man with 21 points. It was a hair raiser all the way, with our team one up at the half. Malden scored 20 points in the final period but Som- erville did them one better with 21 to pre- serve the lead. Somerville at North Quincy. Four points kept the “Highlanders” from knocking off the top team in the Greater Boston League, North Quincy. Somerville, who had a cold shooting hand in the first three quarters and was down 55-39, came roaring back in the final period and at one point was only one basket down. When the final buzzer went off, Somerville was on the short end of a 68-64 decision. Our undoing was North Quincy’s center Dave Zink, who managed to pull down 22 rebounds and keep the ball away from our sharpshooters. Charlie Wilder played another outstanding game, and was high for us with 23 points. Because of this loss. Som- erville needed to win all three of its remaining games to qualify for the all important Tech Tourney played at the Boston Garden at the close of the regular season. Somerville at Lawrence Central. Somerville High’s basketball team downed Lawrence Central Catholic by the score of 79-65. This was the first step in our team’s drive for the Tech Tourney. Somerville had three men in double figures, Charlie Wilder with 20, Peter Gayeska with 18, and Joe DiSarcina with 15. Somerville at Chelsea. Somerville contin- ued its drive for the Tech demolishing Chel- sea 70-51. Our team led at the half by 8 points and went on to an easy victory. Lanky Pete Gayeska topped all scorers with 30 big points. Contrary to what the score indicates, Chelsea played a good ball game, but our boys were not to be denied. Somerville then had to play the biggest game of the season, against last year’s Tech Tourney winner, Waltham. This game would decide Somerville’s fate for the post-season classic. Waltham at Somerville. THEY DID IT! For the twenty-second time in twenty-three years, Somerville High’s basketball team had qualified for the Tech Tourney. This was ac- complished by our team’s annihilation of Waltham 62-44. With Captain Joe DiSarcina leading the attack with 26 points, and Som- erville High’s defense holding high scoring Bill Judkins to his season low of 13 points, our team upset Waltham and avenged an earlier defeat at their hands. The whole school congratulates the bas- ketball team for their fine season and their phenomenal pressure play in winning their last three games as they did. This year’s team again added to Somerville’s reputation as the top basketball city in the state. As Jerry Nason, a sports columnist for the Globe, said earlier this season, ‘‘Teams may come, and teams may go, but Somerville goes on forever.” Seventeen TECH TOURNEY Somerville vs. Lynn English. Before a ca- pacity crowd at the Boston Garden, the “Highlanders” overpowered a strong Lynn English team by the score of 73-55. Holding off an English surge in the opening minutes of the game, Somerville rallied and tied the score at 17 all at the end of the first period. The second period was marked by a tight defensive game in which Somerville was held to only 12 points, but the “Highlanders” de- fense was more than adequate and held the opposition to only 9. This made the score at half time 29-26 in Somerville’s favor. With one second remaining in the third quarter, and with the score tied at 47-47. Somerville’s Bernie Mullen sank a long basket off the boards, while Charlie Wilder was simulta- neously fouled. Wilder made good on both his foul shots, and Somerville finished the third quarter four points up after the rare four point play which turned out to be the turning point of the game. The “High- landers” really put on the steam in the final stanza, and with Captain Joe DiSarcina lead- ing the way, proceeded to demolish Lynn English. Somerville scored 22 points to Eng- lish’s 8 in what turned a close game into a romp. Joe DiSarcina topped all scorers with 25 points, Charlie Wilder and Pete Gayeska scored 17 and 16 respectively, Adrian O’Brien had seven, while Bernie Mullen and Tom Abisso rounded out the scoring for Somerville with 4 apiece. Somerville vs. Attleboro. In a relatively low scoring game, Somerville outlasted the tri-champions of the Bristol League, Attle- boro, by the score of 59-53. The “High- landers” finished the first quarter with a scant one point lead against Attleboro, 13-12. Charlie Wilder, however, garnered six big points in the second quarter, while our de- fense held the opposition to a meager 8 points, and we finished the half on the top end of a 28-20 score. Attleboro was not through though, and came fighting back to outscore us by eight points in the third period to tie the score at 47-47, with the all important period yet to lie played. It was nip and tuck right down to the last two minutes of play when Somerville scored eight quick points to put the game out of the reach of Attleboro. Somerville’s big center, Pete Gayeska, scored 11 points in this period, while the team as a whole scored 21, the highest of the evening. Gayeska was high man for Somerville with 18 points, while Charlie Wilder had 17. Bernie Mullen also made double figures, scoring 11, as Tom Peterson and Joe DiSarcina scored 7 and 6 points respectively to complete the tallying for Somerville. Somerville vs. Catholic Memorial. In a close, well fought basketball game, Somer- ville High was defeated 67-60, by a phe- nomenal Catholic Memorial five. The two teams put on an exhibition of baskeball which will be long remembered by Tech Tourney fans. The lead changed hands several times, but late in the third quarter, Memorial’s fantastic center, Ron Teixeira, broke open a 41-41 deadlock by scoring six consecutive points. The “Highlanders,” however, did not give up, and lead by Joe DiSarcina’s brilliant play-making and Bernie Mullen’s shooting pulled within five points 56-51 of Catholic Memorial with three and a half minutes re- maining. But, Somerville, who had been playing a running game all night, became tired and Memorial took advantage of this to increase their lead to nine. Although Som- erville got back two of these points, the time ran out on them while they were still seven points behind. Even though they lost, Som- erville had a great shooting night, hitting six more field goals than Memorial, but they lost the foul line 23-4. Bernie Mullen was high man for Somerville with 20, while Joey DiSarcina had 16. We should all be proud of Coach Sullivan’s boys who did a truly superb job this season. Although they lost to Catholic Memorial, they lost by only seven points, while the two teams that played Memorial before us lost by thirty and forty points apiece. We need not make excuses, though, because our bas- ketball team needs no excuses, for in basket- ball Somerville does “LEAD THE WAY.” Eighteen CREDIT LIST - SECOND QUARTER MAXIMUM CREDIT Seniors Gerard P.

Cormier Franees McRae Linda A. Primi Chester Warner Corinne DiRusso Helen Whitney Nineteen HAVE YOU MET? JOSEPH DiSARCINA One of S.H.S.'s most popular athletes is Joseph DiSarcina. As captain of both our basketball and baseball teams, Joey has many times made the students feel proud that they are cheering for the Red and Blue. Even after devoting afternoons to basketball and base- ball practice, Future Teachers of America, and Student Council, he finds time to show his interest in the Senior Class by being its President. Outside of his school activities Joey be- longs to a Boys’ Club, plays baseball for Post 19, and is publicity director for the Connie Mack League. Because of his affiliation with Post 19, one summer he traveled to North Dakota. In his spare moments, which are few and far between, he can be found reading his math book(?), working on his stamp collec- tion or playing a few holes of golf. After questioning Joey about his likes, we found out that his favorite foods are lobster and fried clams. He enjoys all kinds of music, but preferably the Beatles and Peter, Paul and Mary, and no matter what he is doing he can always find time to watch his favorite T.V. show, “The Fugitive.” Joey’s ideal girl should be fairly intelligent, a good con- versationalist and, of course enjoy sports. Joey plans to attend college next year and major in math and we are sure success will follow him. RICHARD RAPPOLI Richard Rappoli is well known around the school for his quick smile and easy sense of humor. His list of activities proves that he has many interests. He is not only Vice- President of the Senior Class and Treasurer of Student Council, but is also an active member of the Future Teachers of America. But probably most of his fame comes from the fact that he has been Somerville’s star pitcher for three years; helping to lead us on from victory to victory. Last summer he had the double honor of being picked for both the Student Council Workshop and Boys’ State. Obviously this boy’s hobby is sports. He enjoys all kinds but spends a large amount of time playing for the Connie Mack League and Post 19. When not engaged in some kind of athletics Rich reads “once in a while” or listens to music. His taste in music depends on his mood, but it usually comes down to a choice between Robert Goulet and the Beatles. In the food department Rich prefers lasagna while in the girl department he looks for smiling, happy girls who can take kidding. Rich described an interesting future for himself. He wants to attend college and major in electrical engineering. After graduation he would like to play baseball for a couple of years and then return to his engineering. Both in baseball and in engineering, we are sure that Rich will enjoy continued success. Twenty HAVE YOU MET? JOANNE PAUL If you see a tall blonde rushing around the corridors you know that it is Joanne Paul going to one of her many activities. How this popular girls finds time for all her clubs is her secret. The Senior Class Secretary is also Secretary of the Student Council and an ac- tive member of the Future Teachers of America . Joanne won an Honorable Mention in the Elks Youth Leadership Contest, and she has shown herself to be a scholar also, by being inducted into the National Honor Society last year. Outside of school she is secretary of the Somerville Tri-Hi-Y. When Joanne has time to herself she likes to read, watch basketball games, or go horseback riding. Her enthusi- asm for horseback riding was somewhat dampened, however, when she got lost in the woods one afternoon. Naturally it was the horse's fault. It is not surprising to learn that Joanne is preparing herself for college life by rushing around attending all the mixers she hears about. We’re sure that Joanne will have no trouble finding her ideal boy. This boy should be, sensible, dependable, and above all, fun- loving. Joanne would like to attend a liberal arts college next year and study to be a social worker. With her sense of humor and under- standing of people, we are sure that she will be a great one. KENT SOLBERG Kent Solberg’s formidable list of activities seems to indicate that his presence is felt greatly around the school. Besides being Class Treasurer, Kent is Vice-President of Student Council, Treasurer of the Key Club, and a member of the Teen Citizens Adminis- tration. Also, last summer he was chosen for Boys' State. With all these things going on it’s amazing how he can find time to be Pres- ident of A.Z.A. also. Anyone who hasn’t noticed Kent around the school could not miss seeing him “waving high our banners” and putting up Somerville signs at our basketball games. Kent himself is athletically inclined. He spends his sum- mers at a Caddy Camp and he was Runner- Up in their Tournament. His secret for keep- ing his masculine figure so manly is eating steak. Kent, besides being academically talented and a born leader, is also a “swinger.” He enjoys a wild party and good music. He is very specific when it comes to music. He likes jazz and the big bands, preferably Ray Charles or Tommy Dorsey. When it comes to girls he likes them good-looking and intel- ligent. Kent plans to enter college and major in electrical engineering. If his past record is any indication of the future, we are sure that success will come his way.

The students of the Class of 1965 have entered the home stretch of their high school careers. They have been fitted for caps and gowns already, and the Class Day Committee under Chairman Elaine Serpa is busily at work in preparation for the plant- ing of the ivy. The Prom Committee under Chairman Aleta Talbot promises that Senior Night '65 will be most memorable. Congratulations to those ’65ers who were elected to the second drawing of the National Honor Society. Their qualities of scholar- ship, character, leadership, and service, on which they were judged, are reflective of their entire Class. Good luck to the seniors who led the Highlander basketball team into the Tech Tourney for the twenty-second time in twenty-three years. Room 251 would like to congratulate Eliza- beth Singletary and Patricia Slattery for achieving credit rank on the second quarter report cards, and also to Elaine Serpa for her election as chairman of the Class Day Committee. They cannot help but wonder what makes Robert Sheridan always late? Is it an alarm clock or could it be something (body)—else? Midyear examinations have come and gone for the people in 252 who are busily picking up the pieces in an attempt to make the trek to graduation. Sal Trapani and Dale Triber are still in tough competition for high honors! Where did Dale Strein disappear to for six days? Why is it that 252 never uses the school bank? Will Dennis Trundy be the pride of the Marines? Not if he has to learn how to print his name. Scholar and gentleman, M. Salvatore Trapani, is a bit shaky about asking a girl to the prom. Go get him, girls! Who is Don Tims taking to the prom, any guesses? On February 11, 1965, the teacher stupefied the members of 252 by dismissing them immediately follow- ing the 2:00 o’clock bell. The astonished stu- dents sat there, mouths agape, staring in dis- belief. The folks from one-four-seven still have not discovered where Donna Calder buys her shoes. Why does Bob Christino still come in late at recess time? Is it because of that blonde? Why is John Ciccariello looking so down-in-the-dumps lately? Perhaps the little girl in 149 has something to do with it. Is the female-type newcomer being attracted to someone in Room 149? What are the stories about that claim things about Linda Camp- bell and the Tri-Hi-Y skiing weekend? Homeroom 141 is happy to welcome Carol Arenburg into the fold. Why does Peter Bal- dasarri send for ants through the mails when he can pick them up in his own back yard? Why does Linda Bailey keep losing her heel in the corridors? George Bellafontaine has seven goals to his credit for our hockey team and his friends in 141 wish him continued success. Congratulations to Sandra Albani, the new Vice-President of T.C.A. Why is Twenty-two Gloria always early and Susanne always late? Could it be a certain someone? Could Sandy be running home from school each day to see if there is a letter from some college freshman ? All of 152 has report-carditis, that most crippling of all communicable diseases, ex- cept Carol Goss, who made credit. Paul Fran- zosa has the best (?) way of preserving auto- graphs, on a leg cast. Nonetheless he has broken the speed record for running down the corridor. Welcome to Rita Flannery, who is now a member of this room. The people are very proud of Peter Gayeska of the basketball team, who is Sharon’s hero. Why does Frank Forlizzi call Roe Wallace often. What’s between Frank, Ricci, and who is the third party? Uncle Sam has got Gus now, Lorraine. How is Bob Scioli, Carol Fuga- razzo? What is the matter with the name Dimples, Kathy ? Eddie Hunt of 154 wants to know who sent the Valentine Card. We’ll never tell!! The inhabitants of 149 thank Robbie for fixing Miss O’Brien’s stapler. Thanks, also, to his brother Ed for hanging Janice’s school pencil. Where would they be without those two fine brothers? Moose, where do you go at recess? Are you sure it’s business? The latest news is that the ties between 147 and 149 have been broken. Congratulations to Constance Irwin who saved Room 241 from infamy by obtaining credit second quarter. Welcomes were re- ceived by Larry Holmes and Chuck Johnston who recently joined this room. Class poets are Denis Kaskavigi (. . . but my seat is broken), the first five rows (I forgot my note), Gordon Kierstead (I’m on the Stu- dent Patrol—I gotta go), and Miss Jackson (Please put your desk covers down!!). Geraldine Magno of 243 reports that David Liberatore has been elected to the Class Day Committee. Ben Levy made max and Richard Lewis made credit at report card time. Rick Lepore is still peddling surfer jackets, while Betty Lucca is designing deco- rations for our prom. What junior girl does Paul Lembo have his eye on? Room 249 has 50r of the senior officers, with Vice-President Richard Rappoli and Secretary Joanne Paul. Proctor for that room is Paula Powell and Sandra Perry is assistant Radiator reporter. Red Cross Rep- resentative is Ann Patelli; assistant, Mary Ann Quinn. Bankers who oversee the eco- nomic solvency of the room are Marjorie Pitcher and Frances Reale. Jacqueline Pike is one of SHS’s lovely cheerleaders and Al- bert Pondelli is a marvelous guitar player for the “Impalas.” After report cards and a flu epidemic, Room 151 is now intact. On their credit list were Claire Eovine and Victoria Elliott. Vicki has entertained the class on several occasions with musical interludes on her kazoo. Since the best things are always saved till last, Nancy Wiswall withheld her Chatter for a while but finally submitted it upon the earnest exhortations of the Staff. Anyway, Room 254 wants to welcome Margie Zega to the fold. They are proud to report that 254 was the first senior homeroom to have 100'. Yearbook subscripion paid. (The Staff hopes other rooms follow this lead!) They also possess two “smarties” who made credit: Mary Wilson and Sandra Younkers. Virginia Wakefield, having just gotten her driving license, is now one more safe driver on the road. Charlie Wilder, member of the basket- ball team, has been really racking up the points this season. Some of Charlie’s cheer- ing section have George Vroom to thank for driving them to all the games. The room has a few best-sellers they want to announce: Florence Warnock’s “Whatever Happened to Flossie’s Shoes?”, Joan Whitney’s “How Not to Avoid Trees,” Eileen Walsh’s “Why I’m called Narcissus,” and Bryan Wilcox’s “Every Homeroom Needs an Efficient Door- man.” Be sure to get your copies!! That is all the chatter for this edition of the RADIATOR. The Class of 1965 must be too busy completing their stay to have time for small talk, we guess. At any rate, we’ll close with a short yet meaningful quotation from the Latin: Forsan et haec meminisse iuvabit.

Here goes Room 24 with some facts and gossip. Evelyn Ashey has two famous cous- ins, Tom Abisso of the basketball team and Bob Hamwey of the football team. If you ever need a bulletin reader just ask for Sandra Almeida. Their annual “Student of the Year” award goes to Charles Ashby. They’d like to wish Tom Abisso and Pat Anesse lots of luck on the basketball team. Their future teacher is Marilyn Albury. (They’ll have to talk her out of it!) Carol Alley’s favorite book is translations from Cicero.” Their Greek trans- lator is Freida Anagnostou. Bobby, don’t you ever have breakfast in the morning? Lor- raine Arida became a debutante last month. Camille Azzolina has replaced her apples with oranges. Marilyn Albury Camille Azzo- lina, and Carol Alley are so absentminded that they can’t even remember their roll call numbers during gym class. They would like to know the answer to a puzzling question about Marilyn Albury: “Does she or doesn’t she?” Maybe only Mike, her hairdresser, knows for sure. They all miss Barbara Alosso who moved to Medford. If any boy is looking for a date for the Junior dance, he can find her in their homeroom, which has a number of pretty girls. Who are the two boys who eat lunch at recess? They’re all wondering why Rosie Amabile occasionally comes in late from recess. (Could a boy be the reason?) Congratulations to Patrick Annese, Anna Ac- cetta, and Diane Amara for making credit. 213 commends Pat Fugarazzo for making credit for the second time this year! Why won’t Nina Galante and Susan Fontana let Pat Fugarrazo use their locker? Why can’t George Cagalis collect money? Why do Alan Galadis, John Galliger, Gary Gillis, and others bother Mrs. Sodano so much ? Who is Pat’s dark dream boy ? Why is Regina Foster constantly working on that strange large envelope ? 227, the L-shaped room, is proud to an- nounce the winners of their recent contest. First prize goes to Dorothy Lynch and Terry Lupi, their faithful bankers, second prize to Bobby Lee, who always arrives at school at 8:15 sharp. Last and least is the third prize, which was decided in a close race between Louise Leake and Maureen Leonard, Maureen being the victor. (She was late one less time than Louise.) No contest would be complete without a booby prize; Jerry Lundgren received theirs. It was decided after careful examination that Jerry had the longest bangs. (Yeh! Yeh! Yeh!) Room 32 congratulates Kenny DeVellis for making the S.H.S. J.V. basketball team. It seems that the homeroom is always staying after school. Could it be they’re always so quiet and orderly? Who has Patty Dell’Anno flipped head over heels for? Why is John DeCrescenzo interested in girls’ fashions? (Could it be that he’s starting a collection?) Why is Janice Denaro keeping her Junior Twenty-four Dance date a secret? Anyone looking for a date should come down before school or at recess; there’s quite a selection. Why does Lucille DiPinto like to sit in the back of the room? Could it be that Franny Di- Champari sits there? Where does Joe DiBello get his ridiculous jokes? (No offense, Joe.) Jean DiPinto (lucky girl!) had quite a Christmas Holiday on the sunny beaches of Florida. Room 329 starts off by congratulating Bruce Shlager, who was elected treasurer of T.C.A., and Ronald Silvestri, who was elected to the Junior Dance Decorating Committee. Bruce is also a Red Cross representative, along with Barbara Sopas. Shirley Sotiros and Charles Shubow are on the Radiator Staff. The big questions in Room 329 are: Will George ever be early for school ? Is Fred really so cold that he has to sit in front of the radiator all the time? Can Tony and Louis go a whole day without talking? Why is Pat so anxious to get her name printed in the Radiator? Belated congratulations from Room 332 to Marilyn Tuccelli for being elected Junior Class Secretary. Rosie is deciding whether or not to be a barber, since she wants someone who knows to get a haircut. They’re all try- ing to keep Lauren quiet for a change. Her booming voice can be heard way down in Room 45! A day doesn’t go by when Marcia and Linda don’t look forward to their chemistry classes. Thanks to Andy Velardo, who wrote a terrific proclamation, they final- ly got their flag. They also want to welcome Ronald Whitely to 332 and S.H.S. Who in their room recently had an “escapade or. ice?” Do they have a budding orchestra leader in their midst? Why is Joe always complaining about sharpening pencils? When will Donny and the teacher have their big fight? They all know that Bob’s profession will be a “toboggan-driver.” The race is on between Frank and Trip to see who can get on the worst side of the teacher. 224 would like to congratulate their class- mates: Mike Jacques for winning the Men’s Roller Skating Championship in California, Kevin Kelly for being elected to the Junior Dance Committee, and Jim Iannello for making credit again. Why won’t their teacher make them the brownies she prom- ised? Who drew the picture of Bing Crosby on the side board? Ralph? Thanks to Mike Keeley their room is kept posted with the top news of the day. Room 230 wants to congratulate Alice Martin, their Red Cross representative, for making credit this quarter. That brain! She says that she wants to make maximum credit next quarter. Good luck! Miss Sullivan has discovered the artistic ability of one of her homeroom pupils. His name? Joseph Mietta. The art he performs is done with the assist- ance of a typewriter. Samples of his work are on display in the homeroom. Who has been sleeping in all of his classes lately? David? Who has been trying to stir gossip? Pauline, maybe? Why does Stephanie Marchio love her English class so? Why has Linda Mc- Donald been trying to attract Donald Mac- Kenzie’s attention? Why does she always blush? Room 127 would like to congratulate Dar- lene Drago, who was elected to the Junior Dance Decorating Committee. They’ve had a few seat changes in their room. I wonder why Richard Doane is in the last row, last seat. It wouldn’t be because he talks to Fausto and Jim too much, would it? If any- one would like to learn how to ski, just ask Maureen. In Room 324 they are all positive that Fred Rackmil is the brains of the class. Both quarters he has made maximum credit. Not only do they have a clever boy but they also have a celebrity. In case you haven’t heard of him, his name is Tony Piccolo. He and his group, the Vibrations, were announced on WMEX as a terrific band. If you’re ever bored at a basketball game, just sit near Christine Reilly and she’ll show you what school spirit really is. Warning! Bring some cotton for your ears! Room 25 would first of all like to congrat- ulate Margherite Bonaventura for making maximum credit the first two quarters and Eugen Babin for making credit the second Twenty-five quarter. They’re very proud of both of them. Here are a few questions they would like to have answered: What’s going on between William Boogner and Linda Bailey ? And why is Robert Biondo so interested to know? Where does Lorraine Bond spend the short recess? For what reason does the teacher al- ways ask who would love a seventh period? The last, but most important question, is: Where do so many of the girls’ books disap- pear to? Does Steve Barassoor Robert Biondo have anything to do with it? Room 225 would like to commend Linda LaScala, Kathleen Korzenowski, and Carol Ann Kivlehan, who were representatives for the United Fund and the March of Dimes. Until the next issue of the Radiator, the Junior Class would like to wish all of the teachers and students of Somerville High a joyous Easter season. MICHAEL JACQUES Roller Skating Champion of the World? Michael Jacques might just attain this goal. Mike, a junior at Somerville High, has won so many trophies he could open up a store. He came in first place at the Gold Skate Classic in the Senion Men’s Division at Bakersfield, California; finished second in the National Men’s Singles Division at Louisville, Kentucky; and also placed third in the National Senior Pairs’ Division. Mike on the average practices thirty hours a week. He still finds time to play the cymbals in the marching band, to be the pianist in the Somerville High dance band, the Hill Toppers and to be his homeroom’s Junior Red Cross representative. Mike hopes to compete in the World’s Championship in Germany in a few months. Michel, as Miss Ivaska calls him, enjoys Physics and French. After school you'll usually find him eating a fluff-ernuter Shrews- bury. The Beach Boys are his favorite sing- ing group. When he gets a chance to watch television he’ll be watching, you guessed it, “Peyton Place.” Mike hopes to attend Northeastern Uni- versity after which he will set his sights for the field of electronics.

After completing the first half of the year, the Sophomores have made their decisions about S.H.S. Let’s read what they have to say. The students in 114 seem to have the most active homeroom in the school. They’ve got a cheerleader and a majorette, Marcia David- son; a skin diving expert, Bob DelVecchio; and two miserly bankers, Marleen DeCrosta and Susan Crowley. Oh yes, they also have the two best charmers in the area, Marcia and Stanley. 106 sends its warmest congratulations to Paul Branagan for making credit, and to Paula Benninati for receiving a certificate from “Operation Kindness.” 106 is proud of you both! Twcnty- ix Cheers to Neila Altobelli and Mary An- tunes from their classmates in 105. Both of them made credit. Does anyone remember who used to sit in seat 61? I think he (or she) is still recovering from the shock of September 10. They're sure that Tommy Ayl- ward is the only one who knows how many times the “Rifleman shoots his gun at the beginning of the program. 109 is following the proverb, “Better late than never. Here is their list of class leaders: Proctors, Karen Bryanos and Ethel Calogeropolos; Bankers, Nicholas Buono and Nicholas Brianougurio. Does anyone have information about either Debbie Burton’s or Vera Cardopi’s love life? Please deliver answers before the next issue. Thank you. Credit makers of 113 are Eleanor Corcoran and Tom Cormier. Two boys in the room love to wash boards so they have every seventh period reserved just for them. Ann receives calls by appointments only so Tommy will just have to wait his turn. The kids in 205 are very inquisitive people. Whom does Adrian O’Brien visit each recess period? She must be cute! Will Steve Epps ever get a belt for his track uniform? They hope so. The gossipers of 306 are now represented. Donna Mahony and Douglas MacAllister made credit. Paul and Don think Mr. Wrobel is just tremendous. Don’t you boys? The guys and gals in 301 would like to congratulate Robert Kirton for making credit again and Jimmy Killoren for making the J.V. Team. Is Linda still eating Donna’s cookies? Somebody is going to be overweight by June! Linda would appreciate any donation of desserts to 301 at recess. 301 would like to thank whoever is responsible for their coat racks. Mary Lambert, what’s so interesting in the corridor at recess? Kevin Leahy, who’s the girl who walks you to your homeroom and meets you after school ? What’s happened to Kevin La Valle? He’s become so quiet! There always seems to be mention of a certain character named “Ernie” in 345. Why does some boy with the last name of Perry always seem to have something to say to Jo? Why does Billy walk Carole to her homeroom? Maybe they’re just studious classmates, huh? Why is Linda always trying to fix Stephen up with someone? I think some girl is trying to break a record for being late. Why does Mr. Anderson get mad when she uses her girlfriend’s locker? Someone please tell him there aren’t any more lockers. Special Warning: Don’t get caught reading the bulle- tin before Mr. Hickey gets to class. If you do, you’ll have to read the whole thing to the class! Who is the girl who thinks she’s the greatest? Why is Louis so quiet? Come on, Sandy, why don’t you talk to him? It was a sad day indeed, when the students of 343 said their fond farewells to Miss Leach. Here’s wishing her good fortune! Marie Moccia is 343’s non-conformist; she made credit this quarter! Does anyone know why Charlie is always talking to Anna? Does anyone know why Charlie is always talking to the pigeons? What do all the boys find so interesting about standing in front of 343? Helen Milano gave a splendid speech at the assembly for Sophomore Elections and was elected to the Executive Board. The best of luck to you, Helen! You are all cordially in- vited to see 343’s pigeon collection. They’re really quite intelligent. Every day they talk to Charlie. Jay seems to be the expert on their window sills. 343 has done very well so far in the Red Cross collection, but not in class dues payments. Thanks to Helen and Kathy for being their favorite bankers. Rod Meskell is under the impression that he is “Handy Andy! Mr. Macero will straighten him out, I hope! 313 is sorry they didn’t make the first two editions. They’d like to congratulate Billy Mc- Brune for being the only sophomore on the first string hockey team. The following were elected as their class officers: Proctor, Jane Martin and Bankers, Debbie McCollen and Bernice MeCrensky. The girls in 45 are in for a treat! Ray Zonghetti is going to take cooking lessons and bake them a cake! Could someone please tell them why Paul Zippolo always has some- thing to say in the morning? Deborah Zuc- Twcnty-sovcn caro would like to know why Bobby Yourks is always eating the girls' cookies at recess. He’s beginning to get on her nerves! I think something is going on between Helen Milano and Charles Ashley. Kerry Bouchie is still meeting Charles Salvo. They thought she was going with Bobby Klerwoski. The “brains” of 354 have been more or less normal this quarter, always finding time to visit the building master, just to make sure he doesn’t spend any seventh periods alone. They’ve backed up their candidates for Sophomore Executive Board and are proud to say that they contributed both male candidates, Phil Vaccaro and Stan Vergnani. They're still trying to cheer up their bankers. Phil and Laurie, who are convinced that the Somerville National Bank will go out of busi- ness if they don’t make deposits. They wel- come Barbara Wasial to their team of “intel- lectual giants.” As usual report cards brought the roof down for some of them. Others are still overjoyed with the fact that their parents were forced to miss Parents’ Night because of previous engagements. In Room 110 the class proctor, Patricia Clements, is pulling her hair because ten of her classmates haven’t paid their class dues yet. Maybe she can shame them into it. Everyone wants to know why John tells Nancy he’ll call her, but never does. You’ve probably seen Billy and Jane together, they’re almost inseparable. They’ve often wondered why Steve stays so near the home- room all the time. Maybe he has a friend there!! What does Mr. Tsafkos have against telling them which teachers are absent? Donna and Billy must be teacher’s pets be- cause they stay at two o’clock every day when everyone else goes home. Maybe they’re getting lessons on the subject “How to Get to School on Time Without Really Trying.” Room 351 boasts a credit maker, Elaine Spinosa. She’s the brains of their room but George Smith and Straty are the talkers. They’ve often wondered what homeroom period would be like if they were suddenly stricken with laryngitis. Mr. Anderson would love it because, for once, he’d get a chance to read the bulletin. Room 10 is that happy homeroom next to the cafeteria. They’ve collected some ques- tions since the last issue and would appre- ciate a few answers. Where are all their desks disappearing to? Why is Barbara never without lifesavers? Why don’t they have any lockers? That aroma from the lunch room at least keeps them wide awake and raring to go. Room 52 would like to congratulate Eddie Dente for being accepted to the Players’ Club. What’s going on between John Kelly and Paula DiChappari? How come Billy Dickson is always talking about that girl in 204? When is the teacher going to bring in that blanket to keep Joe warm during the homeroom period. 347’s esteemed treasurer has collected most of the class dues. If they’re real lucky maybe they’ll all have it in before school is out. They’ve a few inquiries. Who is that strange boy who visits Veronica at recess? Does Lois Nickerson really really like that boy she’s been deaming about? Why does Antonia hide in the lockers before school. Any one having the answers to these brain-wrinkling ques- tions, is invited to stop by 347 any time of the day or night. Everyone from 209 loves Patti’s new hair- do. They’re glad to have someone of such high fashion in their room. Who majors in magic tricks and singing? Who is the girl who never gets her reports in on time? Which two girls wait daily to hear the bulletin? Which girl has an eye for a certain boy? All secret agents may submit any information concern- ing the above mentioned parties to Room 209. Room 349 welcomes two new members to its chambers, Susan Ryan and Joseph Ripley. Congratulations to Joseph Rose who’s on the hockey team and to James Ryan and Charles Salvo who are on the J.V. basketball team. To add to their glory Joyce Rome and James Ryan made credit. That’s about all the gossip the “sophs” have for now. With the promising young brains they possess, I’m sure they’ll be able to talk your ears off next issue.

They wish to express their thanks to Miss Curran and all who made the dance a success. During the past February vacation, Portia had a party at the Elk’s Lodge on Highland Avenue. A debate is being planned for the near future by Victoria Elliot, Ida Kotell, Patricia Donahue, and Kathy Scolaro. The club is looking forward to this exciting de- bate, and is hoping for a large attendance. PLAYERS’ CLUB The Players’ Club has been somewhat in- activated by the recent leave of absence by Mrs. McDonnell, our faculty advisor. How- ever, we held our regular Tuesday meetings under the temporary leadership of Miss Mc- Carthy and we also continued to hold play rehearsals every Tuesday and Thursday night. Mrs. McDonnell returned early in March and activity has been speeding up to a climax in April with the presentation of the annual play. We hope that you will all be there!! FUTURE NURSES CLUB The P'uture Nurses Club, under the direction of Miss Holman, has been quite successful this year. The club members are planning to attend the Open House at the Faulkner Hospital. This will be an enjoyable experience for all who attend. The club members have started to make colorful scrapbooks for the children at the various hospitals in Somerville. They are also preparing for the annual spring dance. With the help and cooperation of the members, it should be a good one. T.C.A. The annual mayoralty contest among all the high schools in the city was held on Sunday, January 24. Somerville High’s candi- date was Nancy Marcotti who put up a terrific fight. Unfortunately, St. Clement’s candidate won. Nancy, however, will be President of the Board of Aldermen on Stu- dent Government Day. Recent speakers at the bi-monthly city- wide T.C.A. meetings at the Elks have in- cluded City Clerk William Donovan and Harold Mollahan, head of the President’s Anti-Poverty Program in Somerville. At the February 15h mteeting, members drew the positions they will hold on Student Government Day which will be held April 30. Everyone is looking forward to that date when students will hold the reins of city government for a day and will be instructed in the duties and responsibilities of their respective offices. Twenty-nine CLUB PRESIDENTS Seotcd: Dionne Clork, (F.N.C.), Victorio Elliott (Portio), Elaine Serpo (French Club), Morinclla Nonnini (Italian Club).

It is not necessary to know how to swim in order to join, so come and enjoy yourself. The badminton group meets Wednesday and Thursday afternoons in the gym. The bowling group meets on Monday after- noons at the College Avenue Bowladrome. Pretty soon the spring sports, which are softball and golf, will begin. You can begin now to make plans to join and we really hope to see you soon!!! STUDENT COUNCIL The S.H.S. Student Council has been quite busy, undertaking several projects which they feel are quite helpful in promoting school spirit. Under the supervision of council vice- president, Kent Solberg, and treasurer, Richard Rappoli, bookcovers and “surfer jackets” are being sold to the student body. Two buses were rented by Council mem- bers Marilyn Tuccelli and Ann Parelia for those students who wished to see the basket- ball game between Somerville and North Quincy. Judging by the large attendance of the game, the undertaking was quite success- ful. Elections for the Sophomore Executive Board and Student Council Representatives were conducted under Election Committee Chairman, Aleta Talbot. Finally, the Student Council Scholarship Committee headed by Gerard Cavanaugh held a pre-holiday dance. Thirty CERCLE LE CLERC The Cercie LeClerc is busily planning for its French Night, which will be held Friday, April 30. A one act cutting of Moliere’s Le Malade Imaginare, which the French (4) class is busy translating, will be included in the program. In addition to the play there will be a variety of French songs. THE BAND This spring promises to be one of the busiest seasons for the band, and rehearsals for upcoming programs are already in full swing. The band will represent S.H.S. in the annual Patriots’ Day Parade on April 19. Later on in the season they will play for Na- tional Honor Assemblies, Memorial Day Exer- cises at schools throughout the city, and finally at graduations at S.H.S. and the three junior high schools. The “Hill Toppers,” the official Somerville High dance band, has already begun its busy season. Recently, the group entertained at the Sports Night sponsored by the Logan Post. Speaking of sports, the man at the piano is none other than Mike Jacques, U. S. Roller Skating Champion. Future programs are Evening School Graduation, the Glee Club Concert, and the Kiwanis Starlet Show. Under the fine direction of Danny Tyrone, the “Hill Toppers” rehearse each Wednesday afternoon, so, if you happen to be in the neighborhood, drop in! The Somerville High School Band has big band sound although its size is small in comparison to bands from other communities. MARCIA NEWMAN BEAUTY SHOP 102 THURSTON STREET, SOMERVILLE — By Appointment Only — Coll PR 6-2574 The band urgently needs new members to put S.H.S. back in the running again. Join the band and give the “Highlanders” a boost! FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA On January 7, Mr. Haley from the Ad- missions Department of Northeastern Uni- versity spoke to the Future Teachers Club about the various courses offered at North- eastern and answered all questions that the group had about the University. Some time in the next month the club hopes to have a speaker from Boston Uni- versity attend one of its meetings. The group has recently taken over the Lost and Found Department and any articles may be claimed in Room 200 on Mondays and Wednesday at 2:00. On March 26, the Future Teachers of America will sponsor its second dance of the school year and the proceeds will go to the Richard M. Lombard Scholarship Fund which will be presented to an outstanding student in history at graduation in June.

OIW1R AMD PIR©(C!RIS:SS Donald Tims '65 The order to attack came through at one A.M. on Sunday, April 11, 1965. Actually the order was not one to attack, but rather to proceed out on an attack bearing. Nonethe- less, this was the beginning of the attack for Bomber Group AF23M. Captain Carl Matthews took the message over the intercom from the navigator. The directive was brief and specific. “Assume attack pattern, code 9B7M. Condition yellow. Matthews was not especially perturbed by the message. Condition yellow occurred fairly often, every month or two. Probably another airliner was off course somewhere in the North Atlantic and was registering on the early warning system as a UFO. “Lt. Smith, what are the coordinates for code 9B7M?” The navigator used his code book, along with the classified folder which was changed every day, and replied with a set of navi- gational coordinates. Matthews glanced at his own chart. Those coordinates would put them over the Bering Sea on a heading with the Soviet Union, nothing unusual. “All right, acknowledge reception of directive. Switching to prescribed heading. All planes, this is leader to flock. Switching to course 9B7M.” One by one, the six bombers of the group, acknowledged Matthews’ order. Up into the starry night the sleek war machines soared, accelerating their speeds and climbing on the beginning of an arc which stretched over continents. Thirty minutes later, the bombers had reached their holding point, twenty minutes flight outside of the Soviet Union’s borders. Here they would circle, awaiting orders either to attack or to return to base. The message came over the radio at 0134 hours: “Condition Red. Repeat, Condition Red. Proceed on phase two of 9B7M.’’ Matthews swallowed hard. He had been flying ten years and this had only happened once before. That had been a near tragic blunder by SAC which, unknown to the public, had almost started a war. Phase two involved opening sealed orders which were issued each day, containing attack procedures which were coded and constantly changed. “All crew members will break seal on at- tack directives.” Matthews did so, as did the three other men in his plane and the crews of the five other planes. “Code 9B7M: Tar- get—Kirensk, USSR. Military installations and missle site.” And so the six messengers of destruction roared on into the west, carrying their atomic payloads. Matthews was scared. He felt little beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead and a spasmodic twitching in his temple. This could not really be it, not the war. No, it was unreasonable, the Commies would never go to war over Vietnam. This was the sort of thing that happened in novels and movies, it couldn’t really be coming off. What if this was another mistake? Sure, the system was supposed to be foolproof, but was it? Could they be absolutely sure? Cap- tain Matthews did not relish the idea of un- leashing an accidental nuclear holocaust. Pray to God that if it's a mistake they find out in time. The Russians would be watching them by now, as so many little blips on a radar screen. What would they be thinking right now? Either they had started the whole thing and were expecting the retali- ation, or they were staring at their screens in astonishment and ordering steps to be taken against possible attack. For all he knew, the Russians might be ordering him to attack, as some kind of a trick. If only he knew for sure, but he couldn’t try to contact home; that was against orders. “Pilot to bombardier: begin initial survey of weapons system. Be prepared to activate all bombs.” Another thought occurred to Matthews. He was going, in all probability, to his own death. If the bombers did escape from the effects of the blast, which was doubtful, the radiation thrown off by the multiple ex- plosions would probably kill all of them with- in a couple of days. Of course, he had known this all along, but, it was a lot different when you were actually faced with it. The planes were rapidly approaching the Soviet border now. Once they crossed it, they would be invaders and the Russians would send up anti-aircraft missiles to try to stop them. Most likely three or four of the bomb- ers would be destroyed. Those were the given odds; no one really knew, no one had ever tried. If there had been a mistake, it had better be rectified within a couple of minutes, because after that it would be too late. The brief minutes fled and no cancellation of orders came through. “Leader to flock. We are going in. Ap- parently this is a war we have become in- volved in. We have been ordered to destroy Kirensk. This probably means that the United States is already under attack, its cities destroyed. We shall proceed to Kirensk and carry out our assignment. Radio silence shall be maintained from now on. Good luck to all.” And so, six jet bombers roared across the coast line of the Soviet Union. As they sped inland they fanned out into a wing many miles apart, so as to make stopping them all the more difficult. Planes four and six were the first to go. Matthews saw the glare of an explosion out of the corner of his eye and braced himself as the shock wave shook his plane. “This is the President of the United States. Order 9B7M is herewith cancelled. A tragic mistake has been made. All bombers are to return to their bases. I repeat: all bombers are to return to their bases. All bombers are to re ...” Matthews never heard the last part of the order. The remaining four planes of the USAF Bomber Group AF23M, out of Seattle, Washington were destroyed simultaneous with the detonation of a nuclear missile in their midst. “A tragic mistake has been made.” PEACE David Delnnocentis ’65 I looked out on Walden Pond and saw the first rays of sun. On that famous day in late April, the date of the start of the fishing sea- son, the squirming garden worm struggled, but the inevitable baiting was accomplished and the line was smoothly cast into the lake. Walden Pond was beautiful on that April day when the old trails were getting their first workout of the spring. The birch and maple trees were not full enough to provide shade as the sun became warmer, yet two bushy pine trees made up for that. Fisher- men began arriving in droves, and I was al- most elbow to elbow with my neighbor. We all were intent on acquiring our limit—six beautiful rainbow trout. My favorite hole, at the mouth of the south brook, was by no means overly pro- ductive, yet my younger brother caught one trout. The float drifted lazily back and forth over the gentle pond until finally it sank violently. Jumping up from my seat on the tackle box, I struck with the skillfulness of experience and was rewarded with one sixth of my limit. As the hours drifted by, I became hungry, so my brother and I combined the five fish we had caught between us and fried them over a birch fire. Nothing is so delicious as freshly fried chestnut flavored rainbow trout. The trout season has once again opened and I am looking forward to getting up often at 3:30 to fish and shiver by the banks of Walden Pond. For there is no better spot to discover the goal men have been seeking since the beginning of time—peace. DAYDREAMS Ann Marie DeBueriis '65 History class is beginning. “Today’s lec- ture will be on the reform measures of the New Deal. First we will take labor ...” The instructor’s voice fades away and you are far out in the wilderness being tied to a railroad track by a mustache-twirling villain. “If I can’t marry you, nobody will!” “Help! Save me! Oh, Herman, my brave, sweet Her- man! Where are you now, you louse? Spare me, oh kindly villain, for I am young and I do truly love my brave, sweet Herman.” “Ha! Ha!” “Please spare me. The train is coming!” “Now we will see if love conquers all. I must get out of the way, for when the train hits you there will be a terrible splash.” “Please spare me.” “What is that? I hear a horse. No! It can’t be! Herman, you always spoil my fun. I’ll get you for this!” “Fear not, my sweet young thing, I will save you.” “Hurry, Herman, hurry!” “There, I have untied you and saved you again from the clutches of the foul villain. How you get into these messes I’ll never know. If you stop flirting with him, he might leave you alone. Now I shall gallop bravely off on my swayback. faithful, loyal steed and let you, my love, get yourself into another fine mess. Farewell, my sweet!” “My hero!” “And now for the relief measures of the New Deal.” All things must come to an end. THE ANTS AND THE GRASSHOPPER— REVISITED Frederick Rackmii (� ( The first bright, warm spring morning brought little rumbles at the peak of the ant hill. The rumbles increased for a few min- utes; then out they came, shielding their eyes from the strange, but welcome sunlight. After the first moments of romping in their new freedom, the ants began to clear away the debris of winter. They started with a one-inch snow drift. After an hour’s work they reached the bottom, and there lay a crumpled straw hat and the remnants of a fiddle. “Charlie! Poor Charlie!” moaned one of the more emotional ants. “We warned him,” said another. “Too much fun and no work. We even offered him a few aphids to tide him over until March, but, oh no. not Charlie. ‘I’ll get along,’ he said. Well, he wasn’t really a bad guy, but he was asking for it.” Just then a familiar whistle resounded through the grass. They strained their anten- nae to make sure, but before they could say a word, out from a clump of flowers jumped Charlie, his green skin tanned a light brown, wearing a new straw hat which said “Miami Beach.” “Iliya, Baby!” he yelled, shaking every claw in sight. “How are things in Hicks- ville?” One of the older leader ants cried in a- stonishment, “But the hat, the fiddle . . . You had no food. How did you do it?” “Easy, Pops. Just hopped over to the old water tower, waited for the 7:23 to stop, jumped on, and next stop, Florida!” The younger ants and even some impres- sionable adults had gathered around, all fascinated by this glamorous homecoming and envious of the grasshopper. “How about another tune,” squeaked a youngster eagerly. “Later, kid. My wings are tired,” said Charlie, lighting up a piece of straw. The older ants were less than enthusiastic over this bad influence on the youth of the community, but as the weeks passed Charlie became more their hero. They tried to emu- late him by copying his speech and manner- isms ; there was a shortage of straw hats. Charlie didn’t care much for this unsoli- cited juvenile attention, but he was careful to stay on good terms with his disciples, be- cause they brought him food and tried to ful- fill his every whim. Winter was fast approaching, but only the few old ants, who were in no condition for work, acted as they had the year before. The others kept badgering Charlie to tell them about the pleasures of Miami. “Boys,” he would say, “it’s paradise. All day long that sun and sand, the surf in the tide pools, those warm tropical nights . . . And food? Man, they got flies as big as hum- mingbirds. The streets are paved with sugar. What a place!” One very cold night the ants, who were now too lazy even to go inside to sleep, were awakened. It was snowing very hard. They decided to get inside before they froze to death. Winter had arrived. Then they saw Charlie, bags packed, heading away from the hill. “Charlie, where are you going?” they all cried. “It’s too cold for this little grasshopper. The 7:23’11 be here pretty soon.” All the ants ran after him and begged to go along. “I don’t care,” said Charlie, hardly noticing them. By the time they reached the water tower, the ants were up to their antennae in snow. Some of the smaller ones started to cry for their Mommas and wanted to turn back, but the bigger ones knew that going back through the blizzard was sure death. The train was on time, and the little band trudged over to the caboose steps. Charlie’s strong legs thrust him effortlessly onto the step, where he proceeded to bed down for the trip, oblivious of his companions. The ants, however, could hardly move, let alone jump those eight long inches. “Charlie! Charlie!” they cried. “We can’t make it up. Help us!” “Gee, that’s tough, baby,” he replied as the train pulled away. “See you around . . . maybe.” MORAL: Everybody can’t be a grasshopper. VACATION BY THE SEA Constance Irwin ’65 I will always remember the vacation my family took at Cape Cod last summer, espe- cially the first morning. We had rented a small cottage on the beach. At breakfast I looked out the kitchen window at the blue ocean blended with the cloud-ridden sky. The sun bleached the surf-beaten beaches and rocks. I could hear the distant cry of a sea tern. The soft summer breeze swept miles of ivory sand, and the sea grass performed a ballet to its breezy rhythm. After the breakfast dishes were done, I stepped outside, delightedly inhaling the first wisps of the fresh morning air. Then I walked down the weather beaten ramp to the beach, where the tide was just coming in. Soft ripples of water bubbled in from all direc- tions, a vast swirl of foam and sand. The in- coming waves bore varied forms of seaweed, making the shore look like an exotic tropical garden. Huge barnacled rocks formidably op- posed the incoming tide. Green velvet moss hung limply where the tide had once been high. The sand powdered on my bare feet. Ex- pectantly I walked toward the water, hoping it was warm enough. Cautiously I extended my big toe toward an incoming wave. Be- fore the toe touched the water, I felt a slow trickle of cool liquid gradually surrounding the other foot. As I stepped into the water, I saw a small school of silver fish, slithering about my feet. Farther along the beach, I found myself collecting shells and stones of varied forms. I will never forget the peace of that glori- ous morning. I had not a care in the world, and felt as though I were in Shangri-La. The calm, gentle rhythm of the tide on the beach and the sea tern’s distant cry transported me back to nature and God. Shall I ever re- discover the beauty of that placid morning? THE STORM Leo Donahue '( 7 It was the last week of August, about 5:30 in the afternoon on a cloudy day. I was in our cottage which is about two blocks from the sea. The clouds had thickened during the day and now the humid air was starting to stir up. The whole family was in the front room with me, but I was in a world of my own. I sat comfortably in a huge rocking chair in front of the crackling, sputtering fire which cast an eerie glow on the rest of the room. In the background of the whistling winds and the leaves banging against the window, I could hear the roar of the surf steadily increasing, but I thought I was safe in my ‘'fort.” The shaking branches created shadows of what I thought were monsters trying to storm my citadel. At 6:00 I listened to the weather report, and an announcement was made that a hurri- cane was heading our way. 1 was quite scared. At 7:00 I noticed that the wind had in- creased, causing the clouds to scurry across the sky and bringing in the darker, more violent ones. The rain began to patter against the windows. When dinner was served I just pushed it aside. 1 was too nervous for food. After everyone had finished dinner, I sat down and listened to the wind howling. I watched the leaves fly by the window. Twenty minutes later when I heard the sea pounding against the wall; I knew that the fatal hour was ap- proaching quickly. Then I went to bed. As I lay in bed I sensed the storm was oming rapidly, because the roar of the surf as increasing. The branches on the trees v.ere now shaking violently. In a few mo- ments I fell asleep. Then I was wakened abruptly by unfamiliar sounds from outside. In the background I could hear the sea furiously pounding against the wall as if it wanted to break through and crush me. I heard a noise which sounded like a pencil being broken; then I felt the house shake and heard a deep, resounding thud. A tree had fallen, almost hitting the house. Suddenly the room was lit by lightning for a few seconds; long enough so that I could see the silhouette of the trees bending and waving in the wind like a semaphore sig- naler’s arms. The rain splashed heavily, the trees fell like bowling pins, the sea pounded the wall, the wind howled. They all were try- ing to crush me. I could hear the wind whipping, the rain beating, and the shingles being wrenched from the side of the house. Suddenly there was a deafening roar and then ... TELEVISION COMMERCIALS Nancy Chase ’67 Television is without doubt, the most en- tertaining form of amusement a home can have. Well, sometimes, that is. The only reason I say sometimes is because of those supposedly informative commercials. I’ll bet that I’ve seen every one of them at least ten times. It’s not that I spend all my time watching television. Of course I take time out to do my homework. Still, every time I turn on the television, there they are, those same old commercials. The gimmicks that are used erase any chance of your ever forgetting the name of the product. For instance, here’s a woman who has a washer that’s ten feet tall because she always uses Dash. Another woman en- joys looking at the little green crystals in ... oh! Some detergent. Sophie finally con- vinced me not to dilute my liquid detergents. On the other hand, there are those ads that are played so much that they haunt you. It seems to me that every five minutes I see the smiling face of Arlene Francis trying to tell me that in a recent medical survey, it was proved that Bayer Aspirin is better than the leading buffered tablet. Every other five minutes there’s a bald man telling me that Bufferin saves sufferin’. Or is the bald man Mr. Clean? GROWING UP Nancy Wiswall 65 My brother came bounding out to the sup- per table the other night and breathlessly exclaimed, “Guess what!” Without waiting for an answer, he bubblingly announced, “I've got a girlfriend, and tomorrow morning I’m going to ask her to go steady.” Since he is a child of ten, you can imagine that this news was a bit astounding to the rest of us. We sat there listening to his babbling as he continued, “We were out in the yard this afternoon talking about girls and Linda’s brother said that she said that she would go steady with me if 1 asked her tomorrow morning.” “How about that!” we replied. “Ya, and she’s eleven years old. too. Mom.” he said, “Do you think it’s okay to marry someone older than you ?” “Well. Richie,” my mother began . . . but before she could finish he continued, “Her birthday’s on Valentine Day. and of course I’ve got to get her something.” “Of course,” we said. My mother asked. “Do you know what go- ing steady means?” “Well, of course I do,” he said in a stout voice, “It means liking a girl and walking her home from school.” “Oh?” my mother said. “Don’t you think you ought to wait until Junior High before getting so serious.” “Junior High,” I interrupted. “He ought to wait until at least high school.” Ignoring me, he went on, “Mom, you should see all the boys who wanted to go with her—Johnnie. Kevin, and Paul . . . and she picked me,” shaking his head in wonder. “Boy!” “Junior puppy love,” I muttered after- wards to my mother. “Mom, for heavens sake, you shouldn’t let him be thinking of girls at his age.” I persisted in expounding my views on the dangers of early dating. My mother laughed and replied. “Well, Nancy, with your older brother getting married in May. and your younger brother already thinking of girls, it looks as though you’ll be the old maid around here.” “Tis sad but true,” I answered. Throughout the evening my brother pes- tered my mother by asking her if he could call up Linda. “Nothing doing, young man. You aren’t going to make a pest of yourself over there.” “Gee,” he said, “Hasn’t anyone around here got the right to make a personal tele- phone call ?” “No!” my mother declared at wits end, and Richie stormed off, a distraught lover. It didn’t take him long to find a substitute for the telephone. While out walking the dog, I spotted him upstairs at my bedroom window shining his flashlight at her next door. “An enterprising individual indeed,” I thought, but he was soon discovered by Mom who ordered, him to bed to save her sanity. This infatuation with the opposite sex lasted one week. Then apparently she tired of him, and he went gladlly back to his bike and skates and hasn’t spoke of her since. With luck he will forget about girls for a few years, but certainly this episode was a sign that my little brother is “growing up.” A WISH Paul Grassia 65 A wish- a hope, an imaginative dream, A dream you dream alone; A sigh, a cry, an almost scream, A voice on the telephone; Everyone wishes, everyone wants Things to make him happy; If he only knew that wishes bring haunts, He wouldn't be so yappy. A wish for a car, a wish for a boat, Wishes will never end; A wish for a dress, a mink fur coat, Money ready to spend; A wish for a house, the dream of life. With a white oak tree; A chance to marry a lovely wife, A household full of glee. A wish for a son to carry my name, To make my life complete; A trip to Washington, Florida and Maine, And servants at my feet; A wish for silverware and China dishes. A bath full of bubbles; If a man had half his wishes, lie would surely double his troubles.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. 623-2626 oditolial CAN THE PRESIDENT’S WAR ON POVERTY BE WON? Since civilization began, poverty has been regarded as the inescapable lot of at least a part of the population. Now the Johnson Ad- ministration is beginning to carry out an ambitious plan aimed at the complete elimi- nation of poverty in America. None disagree with the goal; many disagree with the methods used. Below are two prize winning essays on the subject (Allan Howe, first prize; Dale Triber. second) from a recent V.F.W. contest and some specific information on what you can do to help. AFFIRMATIVE Dale Triber ’65 The War on Poverty is not a war as we know it. It cannot be won simply by killing off the enemy, or capturing strategic cities. It is a war of ideologies. It is a war which must tear down and build up, change tradi- tions and ways of life, and educate and re- educate. The answer to this question cannot be a simple and unequivocal yes or no. No matter how much money is poured in, and how much experienced help is utilized, you are still dealing with personalities,—person- alities which are long established in their ways. This does not mean, however, that a start should not be made. Apathy is the root of all evil. Every step that is made towards improving the lives of our people betters the chance that America will remain the head of the free world. I believe that the first and most important phases of the program should stress edu- cation. The people of the poverty stricken areas such as Appalachia, who have been content for many years to be dependent upon the government for their welfare checks, probably never received much of an edu- cation. Before giving these people a basic education, I feel it is necessary for them to be taught that it is better for themselves, their children and the entire nation, if they go out and work for their money, as long as they are able, instead of having it doled out to them. This task will not be an easy one. Some of these people, probably the majority of them, at one time or another did work and earn their keep, but because of automation or the closing down of industries, they’ve lost their jobs. Having little education, it was difficult for them to find a new job. After discourage- ment and refusal, added to the fact that some welfare checks would be larger than some paychecks they might have earned, these victims of circumstances gave up and started receiving welfare from the government. This willingness to receive government aid does not usually remain in just one generation. After all, if children see their parents not laboring to earn their money, they feel it unnecessary to do so themselves. So far the situation sounds grim. But I think that these people sulK-onsciously realize that when they work for their money it will mean a lot more to them, and this feeling of dependency can only help them to look with hopeful eyes to- wards the War on Poverty. Once the adults have been won over and have realized the merits of the program, it will not be that difficult to recondition their children to a new way of life. The young are the quickest to learn. The thought of a promising future should make them eager to put their whole hearts into fighting for the victory of this socio-economic war. Once the educational phase of this program is well in progress, Johnson’s War on Poverty will be half won. I think the War on Poverty not only can be won, I know it must be won. A country as prosperous, as technologically advanced, as eager to help its people as ours is, cannot let the situations which exist today in so many areas of the United States persist. We are a nation which is part of the world on the move. We cannot afford to leave anyone be- hind. We have all the raw materials, brain- power and manpower, motivation and will, to make this program work. And we will! NEGATIVE Allan Howe ’65 In the presidential campaign of 1960, Sen. John F. Kennedy claimed that between thirty and forty million Americans went to bed each night lacking sufficient food, clothing, shelter and medical attention. The American people were understandably shocked at this estimate. That so many people could be living under almost unbearable conditions in a country where the Gross National Product exceeded 500 billion dollars was inconceivable to the bulk of the American electorate. In the short-lived Kennedy Administration there was no large scale effort to alleviate this situation. Early in 1964, several months after he assumed office, President Lyndon Johnson called for “total victory” over pov- erty. Undoubtedly many Americans believed this to be an election year promise that would mean little more than a presidential endorse- ment of motherhood. Of course the American people were against poverty, but what was the federal government to do about it? Last summer President Johnson acted and proposed a poverty program which was read- ily approved by Congress. Many of the facets of this program are vaguely reminiscent of some of the New Deal legislation championed by Franklin D. Roosevelt thirty years ago. The program includes the founding of a Job Corps to put high school dropouts to work on conservation projects and in urban training centers. Another innovation, the Neighborhood Youth Corps, would be com- posed of unemployed youth who could be hired by local organizations for work in parks and hospitals. The “community action” program would be aimed directly at children in poor homes to make them responsible citizens. The forth major proposal is the “work experience” program to find employ- ment for jobless adults and to reduce the cities’ relief rolls. This four-pronged program should be able to meet effectively the immediate needs of high school dropouts, unemployed youth and parents, and the unfortunate children shackled with poverty because of their en- vironment. But it is estimated that the bulk of the “poor” are neither unemployed nor young. It is these people that the present War on Poverty seems to have neglected. The Council of Economic Advisers con- siders a family of four living on an annual income of less than $3,000 a family living in poverty. This is without doubt a ridiculously low estimate considering the present high cost of living. Yet because of this figure, many needy families are excluded from federal aid. Retired people living on Social Security often find themselves in financial need des- pite frequent increases in benefits. Although President Johnson’s Medicare program would help those with health deficiencies, no effort would be made to help those with financial deficiencies. Even for the people toward whom the pro- gram is aimed—the young and the unem- ployed—the War on Poverty at present seems little more than a stopgap program to solve the immediate needs of the poor by massive relief projects. How does the federal govern- ment plan to find jobs in the restricted labor market for the “trained” dropouts? Does the federal government plan to employ these dropouts plus the chronically unemployed for the rest of their lives? We all know that Lyndon Johnson is an admirer of Franklin Roosevelt, but must we be permanently sad- dled with New Deal programs, similar to the W.P.A. and the C.C.C., in order to attain the Great Society ? The only real solution to the problem of poverty in America is for the Administration to convince private corporations to invest in the “poverty pockets” by offering business- men liberal tax deductions for training and employing the jobless. The federal govern- ment and private investors together must try to eliminate poverty, for if the federal government alone takes over the responsi- bilities of the people, the day may not be far off when it also rescinds some of the free- doms of its citizens. In that case, all the tempting advantages of the poverty-free Great Society would not be able to compen- sate for the loss of the dignity and initiative of the individual. VISTA High school seniors are mature enough to comprehend the tragedy of poverty—and to contribute meaningfully to the battle that is being waged against it. Today the United States is committed to the greatest humanitarian cause in its his- tory—a massive counterattack on the causes of poverty, which are robbing 35,000,000 Americans of the opportunities most of us are free to pursue because we had the ad- vantage of a decent start in life. That start has been denied to one-fifth of the nation’s people. Thirteen million of them are children. VISTA. Volunteers in Service to America, was organized to give individuals the oppor- tunity to apply their talents in a compas- sionate national cause—to fight poverty in the front lines. Here, lack of education, poor health, unemployment, inadequate housing, and disrupted family relationships condemn people, often from childhood, to a life of futility. The work of VISTA volunteers is to help intervene with the tools of opportunity. You will become eligible for VISTA once you are 18 and have completed high school. VISTA training will prepare you to take part in programs for the poor of all ages, in all parts of the country. Young people who plan to go to college later often enroll for a year both to help others and to enlarge their own capacities for teaching, social work, or careers in sociology, economics, law, and other fields. Home base for VISTA volunteer groups can be a city tenement row, a struggling farm community, an Indian reservation, or a migrant labor camp. Volunteers may help organize recreation programs or tutor chil- dren who are behind in school. Some serve as aides to social workers, as mental health assistants, as teachers of hobbies and crafts to the elderly. In VISTA, volunteers do what- ever is needed to encourage people to find their way up from poverty. The opportunities are great: you can help pave the way for an America in which the democratic ideal is big enough to encompass everyone. Will you lend your abilities to people who live in need? Join the War on Poverty as a VISTA volunteer. For further information write to: VISTA Volunteers, War on Poverty, Washington, D. C. 20506 “WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO...” by Allan Howe ’65 As we read the newspapers from day to day, we can discern certain trends in the march of the news. One of the most common trends, I believe, can best be described by the “supernova” theory. Astronomers use the term “supernova” to describe a star which increases its light and energy output tremendously and then re- turns rapidly to its original appearance. Likewise, in the headlines we frequently see fairly ordinary characters rise from obscu- rity to national or even international promi- nence. Then, just as the supernova, the head- line “star” finds himself back in his original state of existence and, because of the public’s short memory, little better for all the public- ity. Several names come to my mind as I search for the innocent victims of the cruel effects of the supernova theory. The first is Krishna Menon. As Indian Defense Minister, this man enjoyed several years of headline existence. Few people were hated or loved with more fervor than good old Krishna. Then suddenly Mr. Menon was fired and since then his name has never been seen in any part of the newspaper, let alone the front page. Poor Krishna can only look forward to the usual alphabetical listing in the obituary column. ALBERT F. FITZGERALD J. W. HOWARD FLORIST, INC.

Miller. Come now, certainly you remember him! This former Republican Na- tional Chairman helped (?) Senator Gold- water in his 1964 campaign. He, too, enjoyed the limelight for a span of several years which culminated in the November 3 disas- ter. On Candid Camera a few months after the election, many supposedly average Ameri- can citizens were quizzed as to the signifi- cance of the name Bill Miller. Needless to say, the supernova theory had already taken effect and Mr. Miller was relegated to an insignificant and thankless nook in American history. The only comfort William Miller can take from his predicament is that Hubert Humphrey, his victorious opponent, is al- ready suffering from the ruthless dictates of the same theory. And what ever happened to Joe Valachi? This stool pigeon for the F.B.I. filled us with nostalgia as he “sang about his “family” and the fun they enjoyed together. For months the airwaves were clogged with his gutteral notes sung before Senate com- mittees. Yet with no explanation his show was suddenly cancelled and Joe was put be- hind bars. I’m sure that if the Nielson ratings had come out in time, this “family” enter- tainment could have been preserved and en- joyed for many seasons to come. The net- works won’t even show reruns for Joe to watch while he’s serving his term. Is that fair? To combat the results of the supernova theory, I recommend the formation of an international committee to prolong the life spans of supernovas. And what beeter per- son could be found to head this committee than the incarnation of eternal persever- ance, the quadrennial Republican presidential candidate, the original Boy Wonder of politics—Harold Stassen ? Mr. Stassen and his committee could co- ordinate for fading supernovas such head- line-making activities as goodwill tours, ribbon-cutting ceremonies, and family flag plantings on mountain tops. Under Mr. Stas- sen’s experienced leadership, I am sure that hundreds of supernovas could be saved from otherwise inevitable oblivion. But to insure his future prominence, let us all close ranks behind Mr. Stassen and offer him our sup- port in every endeavor. In other words, dust off your old Stassen buttons and get pre- pared for a tough campaign that will reju- venate all supernovas by sweeping into the White House in 1968 the hero of the have- beens—Mr. Harold . . . uh, uh . . . what’s his name? SCIENCE FAIR The Science Department, under the direc- tion of Miss Marie Kenney, recently held its annual Science Fair to exhibit the achieve- ments of Somerville High students in the fields of science and mathematics. On hand as judges were Mr. Louis Arbeene of South- ern Junior High, Mr. James Cullinane of Northeastern, Mr. Richard Hart of Western, and Mr. George Simmons of the I.B.M. De- partment at Somerville High. Charles Schiappa with his project on com- puters, titled “MSOTEC” was awarded first prize and entered the State Science Fair at M.I.T.

He is one of six Massachusetts students who were sent to the National Junior Science and Humanities Symposium at the U. S. Military Academy at New York from April 28 to May 1. His paper will also be printed in M.I.T.’s “Tech Engineering News.” Twelve students also won honorable men- tions: Evelyn Ashey, “Chain Reaction;” Linda Bailey, “Plastics;” Patrick Bovd. “High Frequency Current;” Gerard Cava- naugh, “Filament Voltage;” Ann Coronella. “Bacteria;” Andrew D’Agostino, “Wave and Particle Theory;” Robert Haynes. “Trans- mission of Sound;” David Liberatore, “Prin- ciples of Rockets;” William Meehan, “Therm- oplastics;” Andrew Puglia, “Modern Rub- ber;” Ronald Silvestri, “Light Interference;” Robert Smith. “Weather Instruments.” THE SCIENCE AND HUMANITIES SYMPOSIUM Leland Howard ’66 The 1965 National Junior Science and Hu- manities Symposium took place on April 28 through May 1 at the U. S. Military Acad- emy, West Point, New York. Some of the objectives of the program were to provide recognition and encouragement for high school students of demonstrated ability in science, engineering, and mathematics and to stress the role of the humanities in the sciences. About 250 students, teachers, and school administrators from all over the country at- tended as guests of the United States Army. The students were chosen on the basis of a paper describing an original research investi- gation. I was fortunate enough to be among the six students chosen from Massachusetts. As part of the program we heard lectures from many distinguished men such as Dr. Nagalstein, several West Point officers, and Science MJi mners Silting: Dovid Liberatore.

We were given a chance to meet and talk informally with seminar leaders in small groups later or- ganized. During the program we were able to learn many things about the U. S. Military Academy through special tours. Another im- portant part of the program was that it en- abled us to meet students from all over the country. In the short time we were there, many lasting friendships were made. On the last day of the program we boarded buses for the United Nations, where we were treated to lectures and a tour, and the World's Fair, where we visited some of the major pavilions. I would strongly encourage any student having a chance to compete for the program to do so. I know that I shall always look upon this experience as one of the lasting memo- ries of my high school years. BOSTON GLOBE HIGH SCHOOL EDITORS’ PRESS CONFERENCE Stanley Vergnani ’67 On April 8, at the Sheraton-Plaza Hotel, the Boston Globe sponsored another High School Editors' Press Conference attended by the staffs of many local high school maga- zines. The two guests, who have recently re- turned from duty overseas in the Peace Corps, were Mr. Robert Veatch, now a grad- uate student at Harvard, who served in Ni- geria, and Mr. Sullivan, whose work centered in Pakistan. Mr. Sullivan had some very strong remarks concerning an article in the March 19, issue of “Life,” which depicted the problems of Peace Corps volunteers trying to readapt themselves to American life after spending two years abroad. The story, titled “The Re- entry Crisis,'' included such quotes as “I don’t feel at home any more” and “I was de- pressed for six weeks” and it did not do much to encourage the plans of future volunteers. He called the story “hogwash” and stated that these were exceptional cases, but I believe that seven pages of names and sepa- rate instances cannot be brushed off and filed COMPLIMENTS OF THE NEW BOB'S SUPER MARKET 152 HIGHLAND AVENUE SOMERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS under the heading “Hogwash.” Even Peace Corps directors admit that there is a difficult period of readjustment for returning volun- teers. So I feel that the misleading term “hogwash” should not be used to describe a problem which is a reality. Mr. Sullivan did point to four favorable assets of the Corps, new language, new cus- toms, different culture, and travel, to show that the Peace Corps is truly a rewarding experience. Then Mr. Veatch described his preparatory training at the University of California and his adventures in Nigeria. He taught at a Nigerian boarding school where he also served as chief medical officer because of his degree in pharmacology. He explained in de- tail the school system in that country and stated that many of its students are well qualified to enter any university in the world. He supported Mr. Sullivan’s opinions, though he used milder language, and added that a volunteer learns to appreciate America more after a tour of duty in a foreign land. He went on to say that the Peace Corps sup- plies bicycles for transportation. After the opening statements the editors presented their questions to the experts on enlistment, training, pay, choosing a country, and the need of a college education. Some in- teresting comparisons were drawn between the U. S. teenagers and those of a less ad- vanced nation. We learned also that Russia, with little success, has instituted its own Peace Corps, which is not as well known as ours because many nations will not accept the Soviet propagandists. Delegates from the Radiator were Mari- nella Nannini, Allan Howe, Marie Parziale, Michael Edelstein, Frederick Rack mil. Nancy Chase, Linda Pelham, and Stanley Vergnani. WHAT5S8 D ? NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY CLASS OF 66 cessful season. Recent and future programs include: The National Honor Assembly, first drawing; and Memorial Day Exercises at the Edgerly School, Trade High School, and the three junior high schools, and, of course, here at Somerville High School. On May 30, the band will take part in the annual Memorial Day Parade, which will begin at the high school and proceed along Highland Avenue, finishing at Clarendon Hill, where taps will be sounded by the band's fine trumpet players. Everything’s coming up roses, especially graduations, which seem to be popping up all over the place. The band will be busily en- gaged in preparations for graduation exer- cises at Somerville High and the three junior high schools. G.A.A.

If you'd like to join, do it now! This will be your last chance to join for this year. The junior girls won the Interclass Basket- ball Tournament. The badminton group meets regularly on Wednesday afternoons in the gym. The bowling group also meets regu- larly in the College Avenue Bowladrome on Mondays after school. The softball group meets on Monday and Tuesday afternoons in the gym. This is your last chance to come and enjoy yourself. The golf group meets regularly in the gym on Thursday afternoons. It isn't necessary for you to know how to play, but if you can, you could probably give the girls a few pointers. They’d appreciate it! Come join before it’s too late! And girls, don’t forget: “DON’T THROW THE BAT.” FUTURE NURSES CLUB Under the direction of Miss Holman, the Future Nurses Club has had a very enjoyable year. The open houses, held at various hos- pitals, were very beneficial and rewarding. The club members participated in making favors for the elderly and scrapbooks for the children in the Somerville hospitals. Chccflcodcr� for Debs and Devils. STUDENT COUNCIL The Somerville High Student Council con- ducted its annual Basketball Game and Dance at the S.H.S. gym on Monday, April 19. The game pitted senior girls, the “Drib- bling Debs,” vs. senior boys, the “Dunkin’ Devils,” with junior boys cheering for the “Debs” and junior girls for the “Devils.” Al- though the “Devils,” coached by Paula Powell, averaged an easy 6' 8 , they were “all thumbs” and were simply humiliated by the speed and depth of Kent Sol berg’s “Deb” team; the final buzzer sounded with the score at 97-56. Even the cheerleaders were in on the act that night with their trend- setting outfits—coveralls and potato sacks! The dance following the game featured three different bands and successfully com- pleted the evening for the large holiday crowd.

They are to perform at the Kiwanis Starlet Show, May 14, in the Som- erville High School auditorium. They gave a fine performance at the Glee Club Concert last month. Several groups representing the band have auditioned for the Starlet Show with high hopes of coming home a little richer. John DeLellis at the piano accompanied a clarinet solo, “Dizzy Fingers,” played by Michael Edel- stein, Mike also leads an instrumental group LE CERCLE LE CLERC Because of their crowded academic and social calendar, Le Cercle Le Clerc has changed its plans for the presentation of the play. Instead of having a French Night, as was originally planned, they will have an afternoon social at which time they will pre- sent their play. The cast of the play is as follows: George Stavrinos, Constance Irwin, Sharon Fioren- tino, Richard Ahern, Allan Howe, Ronald Silvestri, Patrick Annese, Theresa Paparo, Salvatore Trapani, David Bates, Charles Shubow, and Elizabeth Ballotta.

Tel. 625-6680 BASEBALL The Highlanders have looked better than ever so far this season, and it looks as if the cries of “Wait 'till next year!” from the last Eastern finals may be fulfilled. Malden at Somerville. Somerville opened the season with an impressive 12-0 victory over archrival Malden. All-Scholastic Chuck Paglierani pitched against the Tornadoes. Captain Joe DiSarcina hit a bases-loaded triple to highlight the hitting attack. Chelsea at Somerville. In their second game Somerville whipped the Red Devils of Chelsea 8-0. Senior Richard Rappoli pitched and struck-out a dozen batters; he also bat- ted in two runs. Somerville at New Bedford. Somerville met New Bedford in a game which was cut short by rain after seven and a half innings, there- by cancelling a three-run homer by Pagli- erani. Somerville still won by a score of 9-1. Junior James KiUoren pitched his first high school game. Medford at Somerville. Jimmy Killoren started the fourth game and was relieved by Billy Stathos in the seventh. The High- landers won 12-4. Quincy at Somerville. Somerville beat Quincy 7-2. Richard Rappoli started this game, but Stathos again came on in the seventh. Somerville at Everett. In their first tough game the Somerville nine were trailing 3-2 in the seventh inning. In the eighth, outfielder Andy DiDomenico belted a homer to tie the game. Hits by Paglierani, Rappoli, and Mike Kaminski made the score 5-3, putting it out of reach. Paglieranj «j iched his second win of the season. Somerville at North Quincy, paglierani v on another, beating North Quincy 1-0. The winning run came when Frank Stanford was knocked in from second by a hit by Richard Doyan. Revere at Somerville. The Highlanders whitewashed Revere 13-2. Rich Rappoli got the victory Andy DiDomenico and Joe; Mingle provided the power with four runs apiece. Somerville at Malden. Chuck Paglierani pitched his third shutout in beating Malden 5-0. Chuck struck out 13 batters and walked only two. This victory brought the spotless Somerville record to 9-0. Somerville at Chelsea. Somerville, under the pitching of Rich Rappoli, lost a heart- breaker in the bottom of the ninth. With the score at one run each, a Chelsea runner was w Iw called safe in a close play at second; he later scored the run which handed the Highlanders their first loss. New Bedford at Somerville. The Somer- ville squad recovered by scoring five runs in the first inning and gliding to an 8-2 win over the Whalers. Chuck Paglierani pitched. TRACK Somerville vs. Malden. Somerville High began its track season on a sour note against Malden. They literally “ran” us out of the stadium by a score of 69-52. We showed strength in field events, with Mario “Skip- py” Loiacono taking first place in the discus, and Edward Toppings winning the broad jump. Somerville swept the high jump, but Malden swept the 100 yard dash and the 440. Somerville vs. Revere. The Highlanders re- covered from their opening defeat by whal- loping a weak Revere team 93-29. Except for three running events our boys took first in everything, the milers finishing one through five. Somerville vs. Medford. Somerville pulled out a surprising victory against Medford 65- 57, taking four out of five firsts in the field events. The javelin team was strengthened by the return of Frank Maniglia. Frank, who had an arm operated on a few months be- fore, didn’t show it, as he posted a heave of over 151 feet. Somerville vs. Chelsea. The Highlanders humiliated previously undefeated Chelsea by a score of 75-49. This placed them in a three- way tie for first place in the GBL. “ATHLETE OF THE MONTH” Our skating celebrity, Michael Jacques, was named “Teenage Athlete of the Month” in the April issue of Sport magazine.

ALLAN HOWL That easygoing, personable fellow who is sometimes seen hurrying through the halls of Somerville High with an armload of page proofs is Allan Howe, the editor of our school magazine, the Radiator. The big load of work and responsibility that goes with this job hasn’t stopped him from being President of the National Honor Society. Other activities include the Student Council, Le Cercle Le Clerc, and girls (especially the blond, re- served type). Allan’s excellent work has brought the Radiator recognition from many quarters; among them: an Highest Achievement” award from the New England Scholastic Press Association sponsored by Boston Uni- versity, a “First Rating” from Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the Boston Globe award for being the best high school magazine in the Greater Boston area. His school work hasn’t suffered, though. This is attested to by a Letter of Commendation he received from the National Merit Scholarship Foundation. In music Allan’s tastes run the gamut from “Le Mer” to “The Times, They Are Changing.” When he looks to someone in awe, it is usually the likes of Barry Gold- water, Charles de Gaulle, or Jonathan Win- ters. Next year Allan will be at Dartmouth. His plans beyond college are vague, but the future shouldn’t hold many major problems for Allan Howe. MARINELLA NANNINI One of the most active girls in S.H.S. is Marinella Nannini. She is President of the Italian Club and a member of the Student Council and the National Honor Society. Most of her limited spare time, however, is taken up by her duties as editor of the 1965 Year- book, and they are monumental. Outside of school, Marinella keeps busy as an active member of the Sons of Italy. These accomplishments are certainly im- pressive by themselves, but they are even more so when you consider that Marinella came to this country from Italy only nine years ago. She had to overcome the problems of learning a new language and adjusting to a new set of customs. Obviously, she has done both very well. Her sincere approach to life and people has won her the admiration of peers and superiors alike. Marinella’s tastes in music are varied, but the opera ranks first, with Puccini’s “La Boheme” leading that category. Her favorite food is Lobster Newberg. It’s a far cry from her daily straight Italian diet. Marinella has set high goals, for her future, and, with all her extra-curricular interests, her school work has not suffered. What better proof than the four year jour- nalism scholarship to Boston University that she has won. There she intends to enroll in (what else?) the School of Journalism. Mari- nella still aspires to be a good wife and mother. If anyone is capable of successfully combining career and family, it is she. HAVE YOU MET? BENJAMIN LEVY When asked about his favorite foods, Ben- jamin Levy declared that he not only didn’t have any, but also disliked food in general. Why? It takes up too much time. Naturally, time is a very precious commodity for some- one who, when not excelling in school work, is participating in one of a long list of Som- erville High activities. To satisfy his interest in politics, Ben is President of the Teen Citizens’ Admini- stration. In fact, he seems to have a great affinity for presidencies (America, beware!), as he also held that office in the National Honor Society. Then there are also exhaust- ing duties to be met as Business Manager of the Radiator and Yearbook. He still finds time for being a member of the Student Council and Future Teachers of America (and, reluctantly, for eating). He received the honor of being chosen as a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship Competition. His impressive qualifications looked so good to Ben’s first college choice, Harvard, that they snatched him up with a scholarship. After college he would like either to join the field of secondary school administration or to become a college teacher. Ben’s greatest complaint is against any- thing that is phony, especially people. A phony is exactly what Ben is not. He is an individual with his own opinions on almost everything and the will to express them. Ben likes popular music and, more gener- ally, the finer things of life; he certainly looks destined to have them. ' VICTORIA ELLIOTT If you haven’t seen Victoria Elliott around S.H.S., it’s probably because she is only five feet tall and is easily hidden in a crowd. How- ever, in sharp contrast to her small frame is her abundant list of accomplishments which demonstrate both character and leadership. She is President of Portia, Vice-President of National Honor Society, and a busy member of the Radiator stafT. Besides serving Somerville High by par- ticipating in these activities, “Vicki” has received honors outside of school. She re- ceived the “Good Citizen’s Award” presented by the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion. Then, just to prove herself worthy of it, Miss Elliott entered an essay contest on the subject of The Challenge of Citizen- ship,” sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. As a result of this contest she was given a fifty dollar savings bond which should help in future education. Vicki intends to study away from home after she graduates from high school, as she has already been accepted to DePauw Uni- versity, a co-ed school in Indiana. She’s not quite sure of what she’ll study at DePauw, but she’s very interested in history and government. Perhaps she’ll become another Herodotus, or maybe even rise to an im- portant government job. As for hobbies Vicki enjoys cooking and sewing (she makes most of her clothes). She likes folk music, roast beef, Richard Burton, and Gregory Peck, and she doesn’t like being teased about her dimple.

We’re in the final stretch now, and here’s hoping we all finish as Seniors. But before we go here’s the last Junior Chatter for the Class of ’66. The fresh air enthusiasts in 129 wonder why recess always seems so short. Among the notables in their room are Ronnie Fitz- gerald, class clown; Pat Federico, the peren- nial stay after-schooler; John Evans, a mem- ber of the student council, and, last but not least, Mike Edelstein. a member of the Radi- ator Staff. The news is out that Paul Eori and a certain special someone made the opera scene at '‘Aida.” Well come on, who is she, Paul? 129 extends its hearty congratu- lations to Linda Dutra and Michael Edelstein, who were awarded Operation Kindness cer- tificates for outstanding volunteer work in the Somerville area. Never a day passes in Room 330 that they don’t have some unexpected visitors—sopho- mores trying to rush time to make-up third quarter marks. Be patient, Mr. Bonsignore; after all, it took them nine weeks to rest up for this. Carl Stauffer ran in the Boston Marathon on April 19, with Steve Stadacogla and Tom Marino. Tom finished 201st. The others managed to get halfway there, still a great accomplishment. All’s quiet on the homeroom front in 331. They missed the last edition and didn’t get a chance to announce that Janice Teta made credit again last quarter. They’re hoping she’ll keep up this fine record. The race in 332 between Frank and Trip to see who gets on the worst side of the teacher ended with Frank the victor. That’s only because Trip switched homerooms. They think Linda Viola has a crush on a certain teacher because she’s always trying to stay after school. Congratulations to Rosie, who recently received her engagement ring. There’s been a corridor patrol around their homeroom by one of their fellow classmates armed with an impatient squirt gun! What’s John Vroom’s word for today? Will Bob ever get to go home on time ? 214 is baffled why Diane Grund has her mind on K.P. instead of dancing when she goes to a C.Y.O. mixer. Could this be one duty she doesn’t mind? Beware of Carol Grund. especially if she has a floor plan in her hands. You may find yourself drawing her living room! Why is Eddie Griffin often seen in the hall near Room 221 ? There’s a new black- haired girl walking around their homeroom. Who could it be? What’s going on between Richard and Carol Grant? How come Paul Griffin is seen eating donuts? Speaking of donuts, Bob Gould, you should watch where you throw them! Does Linda Goss know the boy who is always waiting at the back door? A very top secret (hush hush) has just been revealed! Room 227 has been trying to keep her from the rest of the school, but the truth is that the redhead from Winchester is really Margaret Lynch! Royalty lulls over them since they have Linda Lorenzo, Junior Prom Queen. The following questions have often been highly debated: Why do Mike Levy and Peter Lunt study their physics so diligently? Why has William Mabardy kept his velvet voice a secret? Room 25 would like a few questions an- swered. Why is our homeroom so musical? Is it because of Steve Barasso’s singing and Charles Bailey’s drumming? Why does Rob- ert Bionds change his seat so much? Finally, whatever happened to Mike Belcher’s surfer jacket? As usual, 213 would like to congratulate Pat Fugarazzo for making credit, the only one in their room! They wonder what hap- pened to the rest of their class. Beatrice Flannery is down in the bank more than in the homeroom. She must really be indispens- able! Why does Pat Fugarazzo enjoy first period so much; is it the teacher or a boy? Why are Nina Galante (and others?) always complaining about the things their reporter puts in the Radiator? What keeps Carol Gage busy at recess time every day? Mrs. Sodano would certainly like to know! Who is that dark boy that Maureen Galvin meets daily at recess? The teacher in Room 27 will be getting more attention while reading the bulletin. There’s a new rule now! If anyone distracts the teacher while he’s reading the bulletin, that person has to read it! Thomas Bourgeois was the first chosen for this honor! Now there’s silence when the bulletin is read! Peter Brier has adopted a new nickname from a girl named Marie. We won’t mention it in order to save Peter from embarrass- ment! Although the teacher doesn’t approve, Room 27 has turned into a second lunchroom thanks to a few students in the fourth row! No names will be mentioned, will they, Gin- ger! The Supercalifragilisticexpialidocians in 325 would like to congratulate Helen Risko for being such an outstanding Red Cross Representative. If anyone is planning to join the hockey team next year and wants to know how to duck those fast pucks, see John Ro- nayne. By the way, does anyone know who Dawn Robinson will be going out with next week? Will he be the same boy?

(Sorry, Nicky, had to tell.) Room 32 would like to know why everyone avoids being the first one back in the home- room after second period. Could it be that the class doesn’t like coffee? Will Nick DiCeglio run the low hurdles in the opening track meet against Malden? Why do the windows in the homeroom fall by themselves? Is that why Joanne DeMatia hesitates to open them? Why is Eddie DeYoung so quiet? Could it be that Franny Dichiapari doesn’t let him get a word in edgewise? Why does Jean DiPinto hang her coat in the teacher’s locker? Is it because her senior boyfriend had the same teacher last year? Why does Mr. Casey com- pliment Ann DiCicco on her hairdo? Why is Nicky DiCeglio interested in what the girls have to say? Why is Paul DeSisto so popular with the girls? Why is Cecelia DeVellis spreading rumors about Kenny? Why has John DeCrescenzo turned down the right path ? Could Peggy Corbett have anything to do with it? What boy put Patty Dell’Anno on Cloud 9? How come Lorraine DeFeo never sits in the next row. Their final question is: Will Andy DiDomenico be in centerfield the day Somerville High’s baseball team opens their season ? Room 29 has just a few questions. What has happened to the powwows at 2:00 p.m. each day, starring the big four? Could it be that one of the members had his seat changed? Sorry to say Camelio and Cava- naugh are not keeping their record up in tardy slips, but Tom is putting up a good fight. No one has yet solved the problem of getting into the homeroom at short recess because of the crowd around it. Who does Mr. Buckley compliment on making good coffee and doughnuts? Could it be Maria? She’s a good history student, too. Did you know that Linda Bussolari both gained and lost a pound during the third quarter. Is Richard Buss a makeup artist or hairdresser? Everyone is wondering because of the time he poured makeup into Linda Bussolari's hair. What does Gloria say every morning when she comes into the homeroom? Who is the special boy Maria likes? He is a senior who has study second period in the cafeteria every day. Tell us about him, Maria? Did you notice that Marilyn has been wearing her hair differ- ently ? Some questions from 127 need answering desperately. What boy with black curly hair claims that he’s engaged? What did Timmy NOT want written in the Radiator? Room 224 would like to say that they think Miss Paglinca is the best homeroom teacher in the school. Now a few questions. Why does Mike Keely’s face get so red? And why does Tony Kelly try to tear his typewriter cover apart? Does he think he’s Charlie Atlas? Who does Ed Keefe run out to meet at recess? Has he gone collegiate? Why is Kevin Kelly al- ways late for homeroom period? Who’s got the portable radio in the back of the room? It couldn’t be Tom Kenny, could it ? Room 24 would like to congratulate Anna Accetta and Diane Amara on their fine job as homeroom reporters. Why do Camille Az- zolina’s apples look like pears and taste like oranges? Diane “Butter Fingers” Amara and Anna “Nimble Fingers” Accetta are having a typing marathon. Why is Frank Allosso so quiet? Maybe he has a secret liking for Carol Alley. Frieda Anagnostou gets their “Out- standing Poet” award. Welcome home, Bar- bara. Their homeroom resembles a checker game; they’re always having their seats changed, and no one knows what the next move will be. But, here it is: Evelyn Ashey has had her seat changed. Could it be she talks too much to Pat and Steve? We all know that Chris uses Lady Clairol, but does her hairdresser? Their “Big Mouth” award goes to Bobby Alosso for talking above and beyond the teacher. What does Eugene Andella dream about at the back of the room? We wish Tom Abisso and Pat Annese luck on the baseball diamond. Room 321 would like to congratulate Mr. Tarello for doing such a fine job of putting up with us each morning. Attention baseball fans! We’re proud to announce that they have the president of the only Tony Conig- liaro fan club in Somerville. Thanks to Claire, we're really up to date on the Red Sox. Con- gratulations to Bobby Petersen for being elected king of the Junior Prom. They’d ap- preciate the answers to the following ques- tions: Where does Ann Pennett go at recess? Could it be that she meets a certain someone downstairs? Who charges the front door with electricity so that the girls are afraid to open it ? As we leave these hallowed halls (?) we have but one thought in our heads—summer! But remember, next year the Radiator is still waiting with news and gab for all who want to read. So long ’til September ...

Now that their initiation period is drawing to a close, the Sophs have many feelings about their first year on the “HILL.” Before they leave their first blissful year at S.H.S., they’d like to take one final look at the Sopho- more Scene! Room 52 wishes to congratulate Eddie Dente for being elected the new baseball manager. How come that girl in 204 got mad about her name being mentioned in the last issue? Is it because she doesn't like Billy? No! It couldn’t be. Is it true that someone in Room 52 is going to make credit last quarter ? It is time for 347’s annual “Quiet Person” award. It was a close race, but, as everyone expected, first prize went to Bob Reppucci. He has to be quiet; he’s never in the room!

Among them are: “Six Years of My Life,” the story of his S.H.S. years, by Ronald Reilly, “Why Should I Pay” by Paul Quinn. “I Wanted Barry Gold- water,,” “Goldfinger Strikes Back,” and “I Stole Fort Knox” by Susan Powers. They have a few inquiries they’d like to make at this time. Does Lois still like that dreamy boy? Is Ed Morrison going to be another Babe Ruth ? Where does Linda Puliafico go at recess? What’s that strange contraption in locker 2? Finally, is Paul Redmond any re- lation to Ben Hur? Anyone with answers PLEASE bring them to good old 347 any time after 6 p.m. Oh, yes, one last question! Will the homeroom teacher ever dismiss them on time ? 349’s favorite pupil seems to enjoy cheer- ing at the reading of the bulletin. Meanwhile, the two James Ryans are busy clearing up their identities. Will the real one please stand up! There are so many Ryans, that if they were talented, the King Family would have real competition! If Carman learns anything in his Sophomore year, it will be counting seats in the homeroom. Will somebody please get Salvo out of the shower before 2:00! A tip of the hat to 106’s Paul Branagan for his fine record of performance on the Stu- dent Patrol. Congratulations are also in store for Pamela Barella who was runner-up in the Miss Teen-Age V.F.W. Contest. 106 would like to announce that they have little meet- ings in their room, in which Ruth Bourgeois tries to teach Geometry. Hope she succeeds! The Sophomore star of the Tech Tourney was a member of our beloved 206, Art Good- rich, scorer of three points in the last fateful game. Also, a special word of praise to your brother Bob, who also played. A sad note: our handsome couple, whom we were so proud to have matched up, have broken off. Ah, well . . . the fickleness of Lady Spring. Why won’t that authority on the world Walter Ercolini keep his opinionated mouth closed? Just what is this thing between Jack Ferola and Claire Flannery. Watch out for Dave Ebbs, 205’s man on the student patrol in front of the bank. 113 is proud to have a member of the track team, Jimmy Cormier. Who is the boy in the last row who never (?) does anything wrong? If it wasn’t for him they wouldn’t have to stay after school every day. 105’s Janet Atherton and Maureen Angelo received certificates of merit for their work at the Somerville Hospital. Congratulations, girls! They wonder if Valia likes her new seat? Who is always last into the room at recess? Who leads the mad rush at 2 o'clock? Room 344, we hoi e our inquisitiveness isn’t showing, but who are the girls who are con- tinually discussing bands, guitars, etc.? Will the girl drummer please stand up? Also in the musical department, Joey plays the drums for a group called “The Predictors.” We honor Patrick for being “The Man with the Golden Horn.” We cheer Margaret for being punctual every Monday, so that she may collect the great sums of money that they deposit. Why does Jeanette always lose her temper with the boys down the back of the room? What keeps Lois so quiet? 313 would like to inform everyone of their Penny Drive. It’s for a very worthy cause, “The Billy McBrine Sneaker Fund.” Your donations will be greatly appreciated. Who thinks he’s the Tom Terrific of 313? Again the scholars of 354 must suffer sleepless nights while trying to puzzle out the answers to these vital questions. Why did they have to remove the grease from the flagpole, and how come the names of the absent teachers are always kept confidential ? They have almost achieved a record of 100% no banking, who knows, maybe someday someone will make a deposit. We are quite sure that Jeanne will always know what day it is, and we urge the entire sophomore class to say a brief prayer for Paulette before her next math exam (not during school hours, please!). With the hot weather coming on, the weary pupils of 354 launch a sincere plea for individual water coolers and fly-swatters. Already some of the occupants of 345 are bringing in their portable swimming pools. That’s all right, but when they start wearing their water wings to class, that’s too much! Virginia Pinakis made credit the first two SOPHOMORE EXECUTIVE BOARD Sitting: Carol Johonscn, Helen Milonno Stondirvq: Philip Voccoro, Stanley Vergnani. quarters; we all hope she’ll keep up the good work. Carole got her ears pierced. Doesn’t she look nice? Is John Perry making a habit of staying after school for Mr. Hickey ? Why did Linda put a dead goldfish in Joanne’s locker? Who’s the woodpecker that ate part of Paul Pescatore’s desk ? Who’s the girl who waits daily outside 345 for Tommy Palangi? Why is Carole so friendly with all the boys? Why are Jo and Sandy always starry-eyed when they see two certain boys? Who’s Sandy trying to catch for the Senior Prom ? Room 341’s gum-chewer of the quarter is Linda. Their gabby ladies are Cathy and Frannie, while Barbara listens on. Jimmy must have found a new girlfriend; every time you pass by him he is whistling. Mary Lou has taken over Robert’s after-school job of washing the boards, but it seems that he wants his job back. Anyone who likes telling jokes should know Patty, the girl who says, “Tell me one.’’ Frances makes friends with her handshake buzzer. Cathy is always ac- companied by a realistic “pin rat.” Why is Shirley always late getting to her homeroom at 2:00? Although rather belatedly. Room 210 would like to congratulate Carol Johanson for being elected to the Sophomore Executive Board. Their class wonders why Edward has remained after school every day this year. Did you know that Edmond falls asleep each day in fifth period study ? THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS! The Sophs have taken the brunt of Senior heck- ling like good sports, because they too look forward to carrying on the S.H.S. tradition in the grandest manner, as the Class of ’67. They wish everyone a safe and relaxing sum- mer vacation after their first year on the HILL!

Wokcfield LEGEND ‘retired tdcc eased Xleave of absence assistant for school year Nine Jn HUnurnaut The foculty ond students of Somerville High School were deeply saddened by the death of Miss Geroldine F. Fitzgerald early in the school ycor. Miss Fitzgerald pre- pared for her lifetime work at Regis College, where she received the degree of Bochelor of Arts with o major in mathematics. After joining the Somerville School System m 1936, she continued her graduate studies in the some field ond was appointed Heod of the Mathematics De- partment shortly after receiving her Master of Arts degree. Miss Fitzgerald collaborated for three years with Rev. Stonlcy J. Bezuszko, S.J., Choirman of the Mathematics Department ot Boston College, in working out a program of studies in modern meth which was ultimately intro- duced into the Somerville High curriculum. She was on active member of the National Council of Teachers of Mothcmatics. During her twenty-nine yeors in the teaching profes- sion, Miss Fitzgerald exemplified the qualities which all students respect in a teacher. Moy she rest in peace. M, Joseph Ji. jbona hoe As 1964 come to a close, Mr. Joseph A. Donohoe ended thirty-five yeors of teaching ond administrating in Somerville High School, and about forty-four yeors in the educational profession. He wos graduated from Boston College with the Artium Baccolaureus diploma in 1919, and earned a Master of Arts degree from that some institution three yeors loter. After nine years of teaching in the Boston schools, Mr. Donohoe came to Somerville High School on March 30, 1930. Here he taught business subjects and Economic Geography. In November of 1 944, the School Committee elevated him to the position of Building Moster, ond he served those in the Central Building, who were usually sophomores just errived Ot the High School, with conscientiousness and ability. As he retires to a well-deserved rest, the students and faculty hope Mr. Donohoe has mony more years of enjoyment and good health. Ten JJu IHmnnant W, e-clarJ m Jomianl We mi$$ him, for he wos close to the heort of the high school family. He come to us in 1952, cross-posted from the North- eastern Junior High School. He carried with him the best of professional credentials: 8ochclor of Arts ond Master of Arts degrees from Boston College; six emi- nently successful years of teaching social studies on the junior high level; on intellect thot wos ccquisitive, generous, ond gently compelling; o sensitive, realistic dedication to his place ot the front of the room, to the exc.ting possibilities of the students placed before him; end o sense of humor thot wos o doily delight to the teachers ond pupils who worked with him. Through the yeors since 1952, we came to know him os o teacher of history, Lotin, ond public spooking, on acting Building Master, and o member of the Personnel Deportment. But he wos not ours olone. He fought social studies, philosophy, and theology ot Boston College; wos Faculty Advisor to the Student Government of Boston College's Evening Division of Arts ond Sciences; ond since 1949 hod been a member of the Americon Associ- ation of University Professors. All thot he did in this wonderfully vitol chain of activities for school and community was done by o busy man, true to plon, made busier ond hoppier by the dictates of on obundont mind ond heort. He loved every minulc of it. Richard M. Lombard died suddenly on December 20, 1964. Pupils here ot the high school will remember olwoys the speciol pride, integrity, ond zest thot he brought to the clossroom. Foculty friends will remember these at- tributes, and the captivating wit, the shining talent for offectionote mimicry, ond the fund of relevant, up- roariously funny onecdotcs thot turned every foculty gothering into a wonderfully merry family time. The memoriols to Mr. Lombard ore where he would wont them to be; in the hearts of his mony friends. And the delight we took in his company will lost os long os we. Graduating from Boston College. racQo ia a3ro Miss Helen C. Jockson retired ot the close of school in June offer forty-four yeors of successful teaching in the Somerville School System, forty of which yeors were spent in the High School. She received the degree of Bochelor of Arts from Tufts University in 1921, ond in thot year begon her coreer in the Northcostcrn Junior High School. Harvard granted her the M.Ed. degree in 1924, ond the following year she transferred to the High School, where she has tought mathematics. Throughout the yeors. Miss Jockson hos served most conscientiously, ond we hope she enjoys o long, productive retirement. Eleven This photogroph ond thot of fhc Powder House by Wong W. Shin '43. Miss Elizabeth F. Leach, teacher of English for over thirty-seven yeors, retired this year ofter devoting her life to gathering knowledge that she might import it to her pupils. A traveller of the globe, she has visited Greot Britain extensively, wos an exchange teacher in Hawaii, and recently went obout Africo on safari. She hos become intimote with places hoving direct ties with the evolution of English literature. In 1963 selections from her many beautiful poems were published under the title BOSTON IN MY BLOOD. As she deports from Central Hill, the students ond faculty wish Miss Leoch mony yeors of plcosont, rewording retirement. racnci roi«raracDira WiM Waryaret D. SnJ Miss Morgoret Snell retired this year offer o most productive thirty-six yeors os a teacher of physicol education at Somerville High. She wos graduated from Arnold College, now offilioted with the University of Bridgeport, in New Haven, Connecticut, with the degree of Bcchclor of Arts in Education. Hoving been appointed to teoch on Central Hill, she served diligently ond suc- cessfully in preporing young women physicolly for their future lives. Miss Snell olways helped prepare the Honor Guord for their work at Class Doy ceremonies, and the High School will surely miss her expert guidance. Her mony grateful pupils join the faculty in wishing her a long, most enjoyable retirement. M Scanlon Miss Alice M. Sconlon, R.N., retired ot the close of 1964 after almost thirty years as o nurse in the High School. She wos graduated from the St. Elizobeth Hospital School of Nursing in 1919, and then worked ot St. Elizabeth's until transferring to the Children's Hospitol in Boston in 1925, where she remained until 1928. On October 29, 1935, Miss Scanlon come to Somerville High os o temporary nurse, and was appointed perma- nently on June 15, 1937. The many students whose minor and major injuries she tended will remember her tenderness and concern. We wish her a long, healthy, and fruitful retirement.

THE DISASTER DRILL Scenes like those ot the top of the next page were seen on Centrol Hill os the Civil Defense staged o disaster drill in which a hypothetical plane crashed into the Eost Building! Fifty-five student victims were dressed in imitotion injuries which made some onlookers really quiver! Firemen escorted, and often corried, the injured from the school into ambulances; os each newly- found victim wos taken from the building, the student body, mossed on the campus, cheered the brove heroes. Sirens wailed os ambulonces raced to the Somerville and Central Hospitols where woiting doctors and nurses per- formed examinations and surgeries. All three Boston television stotions corried films of the drill. One radio stotion broke into its regular programming to flash a news bulletin thot S.H.S. wos the scene of o terrible disaster. They soon discovered the real noture of the affair, but probably sent many poor parents into o real frenzy!

The hospitol ond High School ore proud of the accomplishments of this group. Moking deposits in the School Bonk. Our High School Bonk hos hod o busy year corrying out its high tosk of serving the entire school system by encouroging thrift emong the students os well os by providing o training ground for acquired skills for those pupils privileged to handle the work of the School Bonk, whether os members of the Bonk Corps or os Room Treasurers. The remorkoble response of the High School itself during the post yeor is reflected in the record of partici- pation end total deposits in the Bonk. Deposits in the High School olone exceeded $25,000 for the 1964-65 school yeor. The record of participation is enhanced by 100% room records of Rooms 152 end 247 (Seniors), Rooms 25, 234, ond 325 (Juniors), ond Rooms 106 ond 350 (Sophomores). Some of the depth of meaning ond significance of the work accomplished moy be gained from the words of two members of the Bank Corps. Joanne Paul, telling of her experience, says, The Bonk Corps is maturely treoted os an office stoff with both its privileges ond responsi- bilities. As a result of this training, the student workers gain valuable practicol experience in accuracy, depend- ability, ond specific skills.” Speaking of her part in the smooth ond efficient operation of the School Bonk, Lucille Bertorelli mentioned, Classroom bonking is on enriching experience, especially in those rooms where the weekly record is marked by full participation and the record hos become o symbol of achievement. There is o spirit of 'oneness.' Each person becomes o valued port of the whole closs. This tends to drow the closs together end to moke its bonds stronger. Each individual gets a worm feeling for hoving done his shore. This training is involuoblc os it prepares us to become better citizens in our communities.

A lengthy journey's ended, o well earned victory won. Hos learning made its imprint? Will it serve us well? No mon knows the onswer, only Time will tell. One more generation's out on life's hard rood. Whom sweet success may pamper, whom failure moy good. One more group of children hos left its toys behind. To journey forth intently, to each his future find. Some will be successful, some moy taste defeot. Some moy find life bitter, most will find it sweet. Our varied paths will scatter, os on our woy we go. Perhaps our luck will dwindle, perhaps our fortunes grow. Some will take up arms ond defend our freedom's couse. Some will work in commerce, some in moking lews. Eoch will moke his own niche, with gun, or pen, or tool. And each will hold in memory, the days we spent in school. If our school has taught us one thing, let it be o moral pride. Moy we never feel despair, though fortune we're denied. May our children soy of us, when we hove lived and die, Whatever they've accomplished, they never failed to try!
