In all Greek mythology the noblest ideals are those associated with Athena. Merely to express our am- bitions is often a help toward their realization. Wisdom, which includes virtue, is more practical than knowl- edge, and is a goal worth striving for. Athena might well be chosen as the one to whom Junior High boys and girls should give especial honor. 'llll flD6I110l'l8l1l Miss Clara B. Sackett For many years Miss Sackett was a faithful teacher at the Southern. Her chief aim was to build character, and she taught the pupils to embrace those qualities present in herself, such as reliability and co-operation. All that was hers to give she gave. SERVICE KEY AWARD The service key of Phi Delta Kappa, a national educational society, has been awarded the vice-principal of our school, Mr. Walter W. Newcombe. This honor was conferred on Mr. Newcombe for seven years' membership in the fraternity and for advanced professional study in the Graduate School of Education of Boston University. Mr. Newcombe is a member of the Alpha Lambda Chapter at the University. In 1931, a similar honor was conferred upon Mr. Shepherd, master of the Southern. A Word of Sympathy The Southern Bell Staff offer in the name of Faculty and Student body an expression of their deepest sympathy to Miss Campbell and the Misses Murphy in their recent sor- row. The Southern Junior High School wishes to thank parents and friends for their help and co-operation throughout the school year. Raymond E. Shepherd, Principal. 0 .MELA A A A -no A. 2 O O I O O O 0 O O O O 0 O THE SOUTHERN BELL Valedictory of the Class of '35 We, who are graduating today, have reached a certain goal. I do not say it is the ultimate, but rather, an important step toward a later goal. We are, as it were, like a mountain climber or explorer who has won through to a sought-after stage in his journey. And, as he does, we pause for a moment on an eminence to look back over the hills and val- leys, the ups and downs that we have traversed. As we take this view, there come to mind certain impres- sions and benefits that past exper- ience has given us, benefits that we feel are most valuable to take on with us, and for which we are most grate- ful. What has Southern given us, helped us to find, which we will never forget, -though Latin declensions and alge- braic equations may slip our minds? A sense of fair play-by long tradi- tion on the athletic field and in the schoolroom. A tradition to play a clean game, be it football, or the doing of school work, or any work whatsoever. Some ability to think and use our minds as instruments, not as sponges for the mere sopping up of book-stuff. When an unexpected problem has to be met, in school or ou'side, we can 1'eason our way through it better now, I believe, because of Southern's train- mg. And then again, we feel that at Southern we have learned in some degree to see the real values, not to be always misled by seemingly sig- nificant externals. Lastly, we believe we know, as Kip- ling puts it, that the playing of the game is more than the game. In other words that the effort and spirit that one puts into a contest or a task of any kind is very often of much more value than the outcome. These things are treasures beyond price. It is easy to say we are grateful, for we are grateful, but true gratitude lies not in what might be said here and now, but in what, from now on, must be done by every member of the class. Actions speak louder than words , by actions we must show in what measure we are grateful to Southern for what she has given us. I do not wish to give the impres- sion that these treasures are realized only by a graduating class just as it is leaving school. Every single class is receiving them, and as we must ex- press gratitude and show that these benefits have become inherent in us by actions now to take place outside of school, so must the classes still here show by their actions in school that they are conscious of receiving these benefits by helping to keep up tradition founded on these very things. In this it is the little actions that count, it is sportsmanlike conduct in assembly hall ,and class room, not seeing how much can be got away with, it is a cheerful spirit of help- fulness about the school, it is putting oneself out to do another fellow a favor, especially the new boy and the boy who does not fit easily into the usual recognized school categories, and, what counts more than anything else, it is friendly co-operation, 11013 only of boys with principal and teachers, but of everybody with every- body else. In speaking, however, only of what we have received, I have left out half the story. When we say with pride that we have received this from Southern, can we say, too, with Still more pride, that we have paid South- ern in kind? Good explorers and mountain climb- ers, while attacking a difficult enterprise, leave after them, as they go, tools and provisions that will aid the others of the same expedition who are coming up behind. To have done that, figuratively speaking, is our class's deepest hope: To have upheld the traditions of Southern, and perhaps to have helped by our lives here to give to others those benefits that we have received. Classm Will We, the graduating class of '35 of Southern Junior High School, being of sound mind, do hereby declare this document to be our last Will and Testament after all our debts and ex- penses have been paid: We leave to the incoming class the newly covered Hoor in the north wing with the hope that the Latin pupils will not wear a visible path to room 221 or 319l Signed, III-1. We leave to our successors our library and hope that they may ob- tain as much pleasure as we in brows- ing among its books. Signed, III-2. We leave to the future III-3's our Poets' Corner, overfiowing with lit- erature, also, our Winged Horse An- thology. May they both bring en- joyment, culture, and learning to all. Signed, III-3. We leave to the class '36 our great reputation of being the first class to respond to the various school projects. We trust that the pupils of III-4 will carry on for us. Signed III-4. We leave our class motto: Honor Not Honors. May it inspire our suc- cessors to greater efforts for South- ern! Signed, III-5. We leave to our followers our desks carved with marks initial. Signed, III-6. We leave the noise of passing trucks, laboriously plodding up Vinal Avenue. Signed, III-7. We leave behind our empty seats, which we hope will be filled with jolly, yet ambitious pupils. Signed, III-8. We leave, with regret, our un- hatched frogs' eggs, scratchy pens, sh .k.L. library catalogues, sharps and Hats, and figures of speech. Signed, III-9. We leave our precious books, well- worn and thumbed, which go to prove how studious we are! Signed, III-10. We leave our great height! Since last September, when we became Sen- iors, we have felt so much taller than you. Signed, III-11. We leave to the occupants of 106: Mr. McMahon and his bag of tricks: His trick of a little ten by ten, And his famous saying Do it again. His trick of announcing homework galore, And, if you grumble, he'll give you more. Then, if he should get real mean, The boards and desks you'll have to clean. fContinued on Page 321 . J EVERETT W. IRELAND Superintendent of Schools ggshirzriinn -Jwwmwvx WE, the class of '35 of the Southern lunior High School, do dedicate this issue of the Southern Bell to our Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Everett W. Ireland, beloved and respected by all. , , ,?L 4 9 0 0 0 0 0 o 0 o o o o o THE S.OUTHERN BELL Laurels for Southern t the April meeting of the Anne Adams Chapter of the D. A. R. a medal was pre- sented to the pupil of each Somer- ville Junior High School who made the most evident progress in history during the year. We are pleased to publish the fact that one of the cov- eted medals was awarded to Bessie Lingos, of II-2, an industrious mem- ber of Mrs. Hennessey's history class. Southern Leads in the Public . Library Tests Southern is proud that the honor of receiving the highest percentage in the Public Library tests goes to the Class of 1935. Annually, Mrs. Mary B. Bartlett, of the Public Library Staff, gives an ex- cellent lecture on The Use of the Card Catalog. This is followed by written tests to the pupils of all three junior high schools. The Public Library announces for 1935, the following results: Southern 94 per cent, Western 91 per cent, and Northeastern 90 per cent. Good Work - Grade IX Results of the Public Library Test Rank III-1 papers 94W 5 III-2 papers 97 W 2 III-3 papers 98W 1 III-4 papers 91 LZ? 7 III-5 papers 93'Z2 6 III-6 papers 94'Za 5 III-7 papers 93W 6 III-8 papers 9096 8 III-9 papers 967: 3 III-10 papers 9392: 6 III-11 papers 9571 4 III-12 papers 94'ZJ 5 III-13 papers 91fZ1 7 13 448 papers 94'Zn Ave. The above marks are the results of tests taken by pupils of the ninth grade on the problem of classification of books and the use of the card cata- logue. Southern's average, 94'Zi, indi- cates intelligent work. Pupils will iind the ability to locate books in a library a valuable help in their higher education. The Staff. . LA. Spelling Bee The recent Spelling Bee of schools in and about Boston proves to be of immense interest to students who were willing to encourage their spelling ability. In Southern's final, Russell Smith. of III-1, championed over other sec- tional contestants, later becoming victorious over all junior high schools of Somerville. In the contest of pri- mary importance and interest, Russell was defeated, but he is to be espe- cially commended for being among the last to be spelled down. Local contests in classrooms re- sulted as follows: Tillie Nissenbaum, III-23 Austin Peck, III-3, William Bolt, III-4g Ed- ward Baskiewicz, III-5, Charles Can- ney, III-65 Ruth Vaughan, III-'75 Ed- ward Connarton, III-85 Irene Ponte, III-95 Anna Callahan, III-10, Angelo Struzziero, III-11, and Charles Gon- dola, of III-12. O I Scholarship in Music On May 21, Pasquale Ficarra won the scholarship for further study of the violoncello at the South End Music School. He played a Sarabanda by Corelli. Under the direction of his teacher, Mrs. Eleanor Diemer, Pas- quale has made unusual progress, and 6 an interesting career is expected for him. o o Wins Essay Contest Phyllis Wanzer, III-3, won first prize in Middlesex County in the National Housing Act essay contest. The honor of winning is doubly great because Phyllis competed with High School students as well as with those in Junior High in this contest. Phyl- lis is a member of the Southern Bell Staff. It is interesting to note here that Jack Killourhy, the boy who took first prize at the Somerville High School in the same contest, is a former South- ernite. He was in the III-1 division at Southern. 0 0 Southern Boy Wins Scholarship Under the direction of his teacher, Miss Beatrice Sweet, of Powder House Boulevard, John Masone won the Bee- thoven Memorial Foundation scholar- ship on February 27. He played the following selections: Meditation-Thais, by Massenet, and Sonata by Handel. John has been concert master of the Southern Junior Orchestra, and is now the conductor of the orchestra. Southern welcomes the opportunity to congratulate John in the winning of such high honors in music. His Work through the junior high course has been outstanding. , ,W GRADUATION NUMBER O 0 O I I I 0 0 O O I 0 O 5 Former Southernites Members of National Honor Society The Southern takes great pleasure in announcing the selection of twenty- one former graduates as members of the National Honor Society at the Somerville High School. This is, in- deed, an honor that justly deserves proud recognition on the part of the school, for this society maintains a high standard of selection for mem- bership. Each prospective member must be qualified in character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Once admitted to this society, the members must strive to uphold the ideals of the society and to foster the development of these ideals in their school associations. We hope that the Southern will continue to produce this type of student in the future. The list of names follows: Harry Marcoux, Eileen Bloomer, Thomas Quinn, Doris Jex, Althea Bruce, Ada De Innocentis, Dorothy Ellis, Helen Kizik, Loring Raymond, Robert Steele, George Gazunis, John Killourhy, Jane McRitchie, Ruth Put- nam, Joseph Buckley, Fred Har- greaves, Louis Kertzman, Joseph De- vine, Sophie Ackerman, Ardis Giffin, Louis Macaronas. Section II-7 Wins Second-Year Basketball Championship By Joseph Roque, Reporter. When the basketball season opened this year, II-7 determined to win the championship, although it looked like a difficult task. Joseph Roque, who was chosen captain, played de- fence. The other members were John Thomas, forward, Hayden Hinckley, centre, John Hardy, forward, and John Meskell, defence. This was the same team that won the championship in the first-year group last season. We all worked hard to fulfill our aim, playing with vim and getting enjoyment from each game. It was a happy day when Mr. Shep- herd awarded us the banner, showing us that our high aspirations had been reached. .Not in doing what you like but in Izlemg what you do is the secrei of hap- piness.-I. M. Barrie. Third Year Class Elects Oflicers i I Left to Right: Ruth Cooke, George Alfonso, Josephine Capone. On March 4, 1935, the Senior Class of Southern nominated seven candi- dates for election instead of the cus- tomary six, a tie having occurred be- tween the sixth and seventh candi- dates. The election took place on March 5, under the supervision of Mr. McMahon and Mr. McGuire. The results were as follows: President-Josephine Capone, III-1. Vice-President-Ruth Cooke, III-12. Secretary Treasurer-George Alfonso, III-5. The choice was voted a wise one, and the future promises to be excep- tionally bright for the class of '35. Southern Bell Honored In the eleventh annual competition of school magazines from various sec- tions of the United States and Can- ada, the Southern Bell was awarded a Second Class Honor Rating by the Columbia Scholastic Press Associa- tion. Have we not ample reason to be proud! Our Young Artist Q . A youthful artist of outstand- ing ability is Armando Pedroni, of Ill-2, who has previously con- tributed numerous cuts and drawings to the Southern Bell. The Staff is especially grateful to him for having supplied this issue of the magazine with its attractive cover design. To the Ollicers of the Southern The school expresses its gratitude to the marshals, councilors, and safety squad who have given their serv- ices throughout the school year, also to the directors, Miss French, Mr. Broderick, and Mr. Mooney, for their fine work in conducting the above- named clubs. o o A Vote of Thanks The varied and worthwhile char- acter of the assemblies presented this year calls forth high praise for the efforts of the committee on assem- blies. The committee has labored suc- cessfully to maintain a high stand- ard in the weekly assemblies, which have been entertaining as well as instructive. Mr. Shepherd, the Fac- ulty, and the student body unite in offering a vote of thanks to the mem- bers of the committee: Mr. Mc- Mahon, chairman, Miss McEachern, Mr. McGuire, Mr. Colbert, Miss Esther Murphy, Miss Blackwell, Miss Holmes, and Miss Eddy. 6 O O O I O O I O O O O O O THE SOUTHERN BELL The World Friendship Club MISS MANN, Director The Aims of Our World Friend- ship Club Are: 1. To acquaint us with the history, art, and literature of many for- eign countries. 2. To help us to appreciate the con- tributions of all nations to the advancement of civilization. 3. To prepare us to obtain greater pleasure and benefit from read- ing and travel. 4. To encourage us to overcome par- tisan, sectarian, and national prejudices. 5. To promote friendship, justice, and good will among the nations of the world. O C World Friendship Verse for America May all the nations share, Lord God, Thy gracious care, Thy name adore. Praise to the Prince of Peace, His kingdom still increase, Till wrong and wars shall cease Forever more. -Courtesy of the Christian Science Monitor. o 0 The Athenian Boys' Oath We will never bring disgrace to this, our city, by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our suf- fering comrades in the ranks. We will work for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many, we will revere and obey the city's laws and do our best to incite a like respect and reverence above us who are prone to in those annul or set them at naught, we will strive unceasingly to quicken the pub- lic's sense of duty. Thus, in all these ways, we will transmit this city not only not less, but greater than it was transmitted to us. o o World Friendship David Lloyd George has said, The supreme task of the rising genera- tion is the abolition of war. Let us hope that there are many men and women in every country as wise as this English statesman, and that they will use their influence to help in- crease the number of World Friend- ship Clubs in the schools of all na- tions. There is no doubt about friendly relations with other coun- tries in the future if the boys and girls in our schools are learning to know and understand something of the lives and character of young people in far-of lands. Someone has said, We live in a world as well as in a city, a country, a state, and a nation. We have only to think of the far-reaching inHuence of the telephone, telegraph, radio, aviation and various other agencies to realize that a nation cannot live by itself alone. We are, indeed, so dependent upon the people of other countries for articles of food and clothing that We should consider them friendly neighbors and sympathetic human beings. If nations as well as individuals would, in case of misun- derstandings, put themselves in the other felloW's place, there would be few, if any, causes for war. Peace on earth, good will toward men should be our untiring aim. If, as has been said, The World Friend- meet with ship Club molds the youth to the problems of tomorrow squareness, breadth of mind, and fair- ness, with the view that peace may henceforth reign uninterrupted, then time may We hope for that happy when all difliculties between nations may be settled peacefully. No Gold Star Mothers will then mourn the loss of their sons on bloody battle fields of the future. L. E. M. I I World Friendship Song Tune-- Funicula. Some think the world was made for one race only, And that race theirs, and that race theirs, Some think it well to be down right exclusive In all aifairs, in all aiairs. But we, we love to spend our time learning Of many arts, in foreign parts. To set the earth with friendship bravely ringing VVe give our hearts, we give our hearts. Joyous welcome, no race will we ever bar. Hearty greetings, welcome from afar From North or South or East or West just so you're not from Mars. Friendship everywhere as universal as the stars. The Story of Echo Akrivia Zois, II-4 Long, long ago the Greeks believed that all the hills and streams and groves were peopled by beautiful young girls whom they called nymphs. These nymphs lived a very carefree, joyous life. Of them all, Echo had the fairest face and the sweetest voice, and in the dance she was the merriest and the Heetest of foot. Echo also had the gift of words. She could tell such enchanting stories that her listeners forgot all else while she wove her magic spell of words. But there came a day when Echo displeased the mighty Juno who was the queen of all the goddesses. She had kept Juno so much amused with one of her clever stories that the queen forgot to watch the other nymphs, and they played mischievous pranks. When Juno found out how she had been tricked, her wrath blazed forth. Rising from her throne and towering above the shrinking nymph, she cried out in angry tones, No longer shall you have the power of speech. From this time forth, you shall be dumb, except when someone speaks to you, and then you shall have power to repeat only the last Words spoken. Alas! Alas! sighed all the other nymphs, gazing sadly at their once merry playmate. i'Alas! Alas! cried Echo after them and could say no more, although she stretched out her arms to Juno and strove to ask forgiveness. Poor Echo roamed the hills and woods, hiding behind the rocks and trees, unheard except when someone called. Day by day she grew thinner and paler until at last nothing was left but her sweet voice. That Voice you may still hear among the hills, answering you with mocking words whenever you call. , 1 GRADUATION NUMBER o o o o o 0 c o o o o 0 0 7 Library Staff First Row: Margaret Conway, Frances Chesnick, Dorothy Scappi, Clara Dratch, Miss Blackwell, Eleanor Porter, Ruth Cooke, Katharine Haratsis.

Of course methods of teaching have changed. One textbook is no longer sufficient. We are told that in the past a collection of thirty books was sent to each room and the home-room teacher carried the responsibility of handling them. These books were changed twice or three times a year. How different from our beautiful School Library of today! No brows- ing along the shelves in those days! No chance to take one's time and select an interesting or helpful book! No arrangement of books for enjoy- ment or studies! No Stai to ask for suggestions as to books or help as to reference work! No shelves of beautiful poetry books for assign- ments of the English teacher! No books for the quarterly book reviews! No librarian-teacher to call on for help and suggestions! Ah, but now that is a thing of the past. All along the shelves are hun- dreds of interesting stories, reference books, and encyclopedias to help the pupil in his work. The old classics have been dressed in new covers, printed in large black type, and illus- trated with colored pictures, all of which helps to make the books more interesting. Sports, aviation, mys- tery, adventure stories, as well as holi- day and assembly programs, are yours for the taking. Three cheers for the Southern Library! We are grateful to all who have taken part in making it a suc- cess. o o Our School Library Albert Edelstein, Library Staif We, the members of the Southern Junior High School, wish to extend our sincere thanks to Mr. Shepherd for his constant and loyal support of our School Library. He not only helps to supply books for our Library, but also supports every feature of the work. Due credit must be given to fi! 1 8 0 0 O O O C 0 O 0 O O O O THE SOUTHERN BELL Miss Blackwell, our School Librarian, for her generous, daily help to all of the pupils of the school. The Library Staff also merits the gratitude of the school for work performed, daily, in checking books in and out of the library, sacrilicing many hours of their spare time, and assisting in every way the library movement. We wish to thank the teachers who have donated books and magazines, and who have co-operated in any way with our ef- forts to make the School Library a daily joy to a Southern pupil.

I O Books ' Nancy Byrd Turner A travel-book's a good ship With sail unfurled. We go aboard with willing hearts And sail around the world,- To this port and that port, And sail back when journey's done With treasure in our hold. A story-book's a castle, It has a secret stair, From room to room we wander, And every one is fair. A lesson-book's a meadow Where grain is planted deep, A rich and golden harvest That anyone may reap. A poetry-book's a garden With a lovely gate set wide, With shady walks, and fountains, And flowers on every side. You pluck a violet, I take a rose- They last through the long years, As everybody knows. This book and that book,- We're richer than a mint. Blessings on the good men Who first learned to print! o 0 And, having flzosen our course, let us rmicw our trust in God and go forward wiflzout fear. Duties of a Library Staff Member Edward Baskewicz and Joseph Costa, Library Staff The School Library is one of the greatest activities in our school. We are writing these suggestions for the those interested in the work of Library Staff members, all ninth year pupils. Staff duties consist of the following: First-At the Entrance, books are inspected at the Return Desk, where before school books are returned and checked by members of the Girls' Library Staff. Second- At diHerent stations in the Library are members of the Staff who can be recognized by their L. S. arm bands, who assist the pupils in any Way they can, suggesting books, recreational reading, looking up biographies of authors, or showing how to use the encyclopedias. At the centre is the Repair Desk, where new cards and date slips are issued. Here repairs are made, torn pages mended and glued. At the Exit is the Charge Desk, usually in charge of the Boys' Staff. Here pupils fill out cards and date slips, while Staff members stamp the cards. As the pupils leave the Library, Staff inspectors, at the door, check on dates to make sure that books are charged and in good con- dition. Extra assistance is oHered by use of the Picture File, where pupils find pictures which have been cut from the old magazines by Staff Members, classiiied, and filed by subject, to be given to pupils to illustrate papers on assigned topics. o o Ollening a New Book By Abbie Farwell Brown Here's an adventure! What awaits Beyond these closed, mysterious gates? Whom shall I meet, where shall I go? Beyond the lovely land I know? Above the sky, across the sea? What shall I learn and feel and be? Open, strange doors, to good or ill, I hold my breath a moment still Before the magic of your book, What will you do to me, O Book ? I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading. -Lord Macaulay. From Thanks to Books By Theodore W. Koch You leisure hours, carrying us away from the tumult of the day , you books, truest and most silent com- panions, how can we thank you for your ever present readiness, for this eternal lifting infiuence of your pres- ence? What have you not been in the darkest days of the soul's soli- tude, in military hospitals and army camps, in prisons and on beds of pain! You have always been on the watch, have given dreams to men, and a bit of tranquillity in moments of unrest and torture. God's gentle magnet, you have always been able to draw out the soul into its own sphere after it had become lost in everyday routine. You have always in all periods of gloom widened the inner heaven within us to something greater. Little fragments of eternity, quietly ranged along the plain wall, you stand there unpretentiously in our home. Yet when the hand frees you, when the heart touches you, you break through prosy surroundings, your words lead us as in a fiery char- iot up from pettiness into the eternal. O O Books By Richard De Bury Books are masters who instruct us without rods or ferules, without anger, without bread or money. If you ap- proach them they are not asleep, if you seek them they do not hide, if you blunder, they do not scold, if you are you. ignorant, they do not laugh at Books Horace Mann A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children with- out surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them. It is a wrong to his family. Children learn to read by being in the pres- ence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it. And the love of knowledge, in a young mind, is almost a warrant against the inferior excitement of' passions and vices. GRADUATION NUMBER 0 0 o o o o o o 0 v - 0 0 9 Miss FRENCH, Teacher.

CLASS PROPHECY As the day was exceedingly warm, I decided to take a rest beneath the leafy trees, near a babbling brook. Somehow, somewhere, I was lost! My first thought was to ask one of the two policemen who were standing nearby to help me. Before the first word had escaped me, I discovered that both of the men were my old schoolmates. Francis Souza and Fran- cis Stanger said that there was a col- lege a few streets away, where many of my friends were instructors. They both decided to accompany me there. As we stopped in front of Louis Drago's law office, we met Donald Healey, a traveling salesman, who said he was going over to the avia- tion field, where Ralph Moulton was supervisor of the airport and Edward DeMarco and Thomas Marino were his e-lfrief pilots. Continuing on our way, We were confronted by a detour, because a bridge was being built by the contractors, George Laurendeau and Fred Carnes, who had received a written statement from Barbara Estey, the secretary to the mayor of that city. James Dooner had given them permission to build there. While We were making the detour, the driver stopped the car because he saw two aldermen, Edward Hynes and Edward Cody, coming out of the State House. They told us that Salvatore Macero had just taken a Civil Service exam- ination, and made a very high aver- age. Leaving them, we passed by the city firehouse, where Ray Crim- inins, the chief of the fire department, told us that he had just received a radiogram from his friend, Robert Coughlin, Bishop of Manchester, tell- ing him that John McMahon had re- cently been appointed Cardinal Arch- bishop of Boston. A few buildings away from 'the firehouse, a large broadcasting station had been built by Albert Sutkus, and all the electrical work was done by George Doherty. A broadcast had just finished, and the performers started to move away from the microphone. They were celebrated guests, Helen Squizzero and Catherine Conley, the former hav- ing broadcasted on famous beauty hints from Paris, and the latter on Parisian fashions. The next person to go on the air was John Cochrane, dean of the college. Later, Arthur Albertelli, who was majoring in higher mathematics, and Josephine Annarelli, a teacher of music, were introduced. I was sorry to leave the building, but soon forgot about it when I saw that a National League baseball game was going on. The last home run had been made by James Sharry. Sitting on the bench was Augustine Kiley, the manager of the team. After the game, I met Vincent Albano and Thomas Gau- thier, who were respectively famous scientist and chemist. I returned to my car and started towards the college I had planned to visit. When I entered, I met Eleanor Porter, the dietitian of a hospital, and, as I looked into one of the classrooms, I noticed Professors Russell Smith and Gordon Lake giving a lecture on English. In the next room Salvatore Ciccariella was teaching history. Wonder of wonders! I was in the very college of which I was the dean. There was a loud noise and I awoke to find the brook merrily tripping along. 10 0 THE SOUTHERN BELL Miss Small Presents Colorful Greek Pageant N May 28, members of the World Friendship Club and the Art Club gave in the school auditorium a presentation of tales and adventures from ancient Greece which was certainly a novelty enjoyed by all. , The World Friendship Club directed by Miss Mann has studied Greece this year at the suggestion of Mr. Bingham, chairman of the Interna- tional Relations Committee of the Somerville Rotary Club, which had selected Greece for their study this year. The pageant opened as the presi- dent of the World Friendship Club appealed to Father Time to turn back his Book of Years to the days of Ancient Greece in order that South- ern boys and girls might see for one short hour something .of life among gods and heroes on Olympus in the mythical days of old. Father Time called his messenger, Hermes, and commanded him to summon the gods to come forth. As the gods assembled, Clio, muse of history, announced them as they appeared for council. Among them we saw Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, and others robed in the colorful costumes which were dyed, designed and made by Miss Small, di- rector of the Art Club. Miss Small wrote the pageant, and has given much time to the making of the large amount of equipment and decoration needed in the production. While the gods were in council, Apollo, god of beauty and music, played on his lyre, and Pan, the piper for King Midas, played a lively tune on his pipes. The gods were asked to judge the musicians and all except Midas voted for Apollo. He haughtily left the assembly, but soon returned with a pair of donkey's ears which he placed on the head of Midas, greatly to the amusement of the gods. Ganymede, cup-bearer of Zeus, presented a cup of wine to the father of all the gods, which he drank with relish. During the council, the or- chestra played the graceful, dignified Pomp and Circumstancef' One of the most beautiful and im- pressive presentations was where the sculptor Pygmalion became so enrap- tured with his statue of Galatea that she came to life. Victor Herbert's Sweet Mystery of Life seemed to voice the sculptor's feelings perfectly. Niobe was well represented as she pleaded for the life of her remaining daughter after thirteen other children had been put to death by jealous gods. Grieg's music, The Death of Asa, helped us to feel her grief. When Pandora and Epimetheus en- tered their new home, Schubert's Serenade seemed to 'sing their hap- piness. But when Pandora's curiosity made her open the box, and all the troubles escaped, we heard their hum- ming as the violin and piano played Franz Schubert's The Bee. Finally Hope was liberated from the chest to help us bear' all the troubles, and joy reigned supreme in Mendelssohn's Spring Song. Everyone enjoys the purity and fragrance of the delicate spring flower, narcissus. The story of its origin was impressively told as the youth, Narcissus, saw his redection in a pool and, while gazing enraptured, pined away. The gods, however, changed him to the beautiful flower we love so well. All through this scene Ethelbert Nevin's Narcissus was played by the orchestra. These are only a few of the delight- ful episodes presented in the pageant. Each was impressive and pleasing because of the dignity and grace of the actors and the charmingly ap- propriate music furnished by the or- chestra.

Class Prophecy of III-2 Time marches on: 1945! The Waldorf Astoria is crowded, as we say goodbye to old earth, with an excited party. Everyone from re- porters to social satellites, opera stars, actors, and actresses, is con- gratulating the Zephyr's pilot, Frank Powers, and wishing him and his crew of Shanahan, Hanlon, co-pilots, Vroom, steward, and Elizabeth Ames and the writer, air-stewardesses, the best of luck in our fifth annual skyride to distant Mars. Jeannette Loring, Elizabeth Kirkland, and Winchell have just telephoned their stories to their papers, and Charles Ranaghan is an- nouncing our departure to the Eng- lish speaking planets, which are tuned in. Marion Flynn's interplanetary famous band has just struck up a farewell tune with Joseph Baldi, the Bing Crosby of 1945, vocalizing. There goes the warning rocket! She's starting up, and we are now mounting' speedily. We land in Mars just at midnight on Albert Edelstein's dairy farm. Thomas Hobbs, Mars' marathon cham- pion, races to town with the news of our arrival. Before we have a chance to collect our baggage, or even our thoughts, we hear a familiar voice, which has now turned basso, shout Taxi We turn to find Albert De Brase at the door of a strange contraption, with the name Marsford glittering on its side. While waiting for transportation, William McRitchie, dairy-farmer, and next door neighbor of Albert Edel- stein, entertains us royally with his television set. Here we see the Town Hall with Edward Neilson conducting his regular amateur show. Among the group of budding young artists, we recognize Rita Burns and An- thony Catanzano, songsters, and Rose Hamwey, who has just gone into her dance, is receiving a tremendous ova- tion. Roger Drake's Marsters conclude with the Giordanian March, named after this planet's most illus- trious scientist, Edward Giordani. A siren outside informs us that our electric-auto is ready, and, with Walter O'Brien pressing a button, we speed oi at 5001 miles an hour. Our special consort, John Riley, of the Mars Police Force, directs us to the villa of Paul Niles, mayor of Mars, who is in private conference with King Stanley Letasz of Neptune. Their private secretaries, Rose Di- Milla and Doris McArthur, greet us, as David Fishlin, caretaker of the building, ushers us into the recep- tion room, on the wall of which hang pictures of Sylvia Weisman and Con- stance Matthews, athletes extraordi- nary. In another corner of the spacious room we see a picture of the Dizzy Dean of Mars, Robert COltoJ Otto, also many magnificent portraits by the famed artist, Ar- mando Pedroni. The conference is broken up as soon as our arrival is announced, and soon we are the guests of His Majesty of the Olde CoH'ee Shoppe, William Mc- Donald, proprietor.

The Armistice Day assembly, viewed with due reverence and honor, was successfully produced by Mr. Mooney and Mr. Venerie. An interesting Thanksgiving Day program was given by Mr. Horne. It brought forth the true meaning of Thanksgiving. Miss Whittemore's health presen- tation proved valuable to the school. The pupils listened attentively to this most interesting program. Miss McEachern and Miss Bing- ham presented a Christmas play de- serving of the highest commenda- tions. Miss French's assembly showed that money can be saved even during try- ing times like these. It proved that a penny saved is a penny earned. Miss Donahue's assembly on music and poetry was highly commendable. On Lincoln's birthday Miss Blood gave an excellent play portraying the life of our martyr president. Miss Perry deserves praise for pre- senting such a fine program on Wash- ington. An excellent English play on bad grammar was presented by Mr. Mur- ray's section. The full beauty of trees was de- scribed in Miss Conner's assembly on Arbor Day. The Southern Bell assembly was in- structive in pointing out how the King of Good English rules over America. Many pieces of music produced by famous old masters were played in Miss Esther Murphy's assembly on music. Miss Mann's interesting program on education was appreciated very much by the students. In memory of that immortal anni- versary-Mother's Day-a program was presented on May 15-16, under the supervision of Miss Jones and Miss Kennedy. With the reading of 'tThe Meaning of Mother's Day, by Henry Masci of II-9, chairman, the program opened, and two impressive poems, Mother and Styles and Mother's Day, were recited respec- tively by Helen Mullam and James Lonero, both of II-9. A most attractive and picturesque film, A Trip on the Rhine, showing well known scenes in literature, such as: The Mouse Tower and Bingen, Was then presented, uniquely accom- panied with music by Helen Vincent of II-2. The assembly was dismissed while The Blue Danubel' waltz was played. Mr. Colbert ran the slides. O O The Continental Congress Assembly The Continental Congress assembly under the capable direction of Miss Frost and Miss Merritt was highly successful. The play depicted exactly the drawing up and signing of the Declaration of Independence. Paul Niles displayed his acting ability in the important role of John Hancock. Austin Peck also demonstrated his talent as Thomas Jefferson. The spirit and co-operation of the cast made it one of the best of the as- semblies that were held during the year.

In front of us was a pool of water, clear as crys- tal, nearby stood a man dressed as an Arab. We were keyed to the high- est pitch when look into the whereabouts of A column of suddenly as it peared, leaving before. Lookin he agreed to let us future to learn the the famous III-3. smoke rose, and, as had risen, it disap- the pool as serene as g unto its mysterious depths, we recognized Professor Peck instructing a class in higher mathe- matics. Reflected in the glassy sur- face of the pool was John Lippas, showing his prize painting, Rhap- sody in Lavender, to a group in a large museum. The next scene trans- ported us to Portugal, where Armindo Branco was the United States am- bassador. Next scene showed us Leno Ferrarini, the oracle of Delphi, rul- ing in a small country, hardly dis- cernible in the pool. At Gay Paree we found Genevra Pye in a fashion centre, happy as usual, Suddenly, the scene changed to a city in the Middle West. Pac- ing up and down the platform of a large auditorium was James Kelso, the rising young orator of South- ern days. Being transported swiftly to another scene, we saw some beau- tiful tapestries woven by the skillful hands of Angelo Ciano. Quickly fol- lowing was a Vision of Ralph Man- ning diligently working on an im- portant piece of engineering. A mili- tary scene opened before us, show- as Captain of came Walter to a group of H ing Richard Ramsey the Guards. Then Glines, Jr., lecturing writers on Rhetoric The next scene was in Portugal, amid gardenias and orchids with Jos- eph Peluso in his flower shop. As we gazed into the pool for more friends, we saw Walter Manfrine in a hospital performing an important op- eration, assisted by Gilbert Lacey. Wonder of Wonders! Dorothy Perry was reviewing her latest book, The Power of Athletics. Bugs, bugs everywhere! In the midst of these was the wor1d's famous naturalist, Umbert Carbone. Hear ye, hear ye, the court is now in session, sounded from the depths of the pool, with his honor, Raymond Restani presid- ing. We heard a melodious voice and were informed that it was that of Marcello Sanesi singing When the Blue of the Night Meets the Gold of the Day. He was accompanied by Pasquale Ficarra, the noted 'cellist. Joel Roseland, in his clear voice, announced on the radio that Edith Resteghini had been appointed superin- tendent of a hospital. Amo, amas, amet, echoed the voice of Phyllis Wanzer, as she was trying, in her patient way, to teach the pupils the essentials of Latin. As the last scene came slowly at first and then swiftly we heard the patter of horses' hoofs and, amid the cheering' of thousands, we saw Phyllis Monahan, with her arm around the neck of her Ken- tucky Derby winner, congratulating her jockey. We thanked our kind friend for revealing the future of III-3 so pleas- antly to us, and so we took our de- parture from Arabia, the land of mystery. 14 0 o o o o o o 0 0 o o o o THE SOUTHERN BELL Editorial Page Miss Clara B. Sackett Miss Sackett, who died on April 25, was a teacher of typewriting in this school from 1918-1933. Her previous service in other schools in the city covered many years. The commendation of former pupils is per- haps the most reliable basis for ap- praising the value of such work. Her faithfulness and self-sacrifice in the performance of duty has set a stand- ard which few of us can expect to equal. The grateful appreciation of those who have benefited by her in- Huence will be increasingly felt for years to come. 0 0 An Expression of Gratitude Miss Mann and Miss Small wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who took part in the Greek pageant. The splendid co-operation of the cast and the work of the mu- sicians deserve the highest Praise. O O Miss Blackwell Of the many departments in South- ern our own school library is one of the most interesting. Miss Black- well, supervisor, has encouraged the pupils of the school to make profit- able use of the library. Restful read- ing periods have been of great en- joyment to us, the graduates, and we now feel especially grateful to Miss Blackwell and the library staff for making these possible. I O We Are Grateful We, the members of the graduat- ing class of '35, do now wish to ex- tend our most sincere thanks to Mr. Shepherd, Mr. Newcombe, and teach- ers for their generous and most help- ful guidance throughout the past three years of our school career. We leave Southern in hopeful an- ticipation, but we do, however, carry with us many regrets that we must depart, forever, from these, our prin- cipal and teachers. Their ideals, as- pirations, and encouragement have set for us a standard which we feel sure will prove most valuable in High School, and in later life. J. L. Over the Hill Jeannette Loring Climbing the rock-strewn hill to High School has been a task of changeable joy and interest. Thus far, we, the members of the graduating class, have made steady, worthwhile progress, leaving in our wake a series of accomplishments deserving of ac- knowledgment. It took strength, will power, per- severance, and all those fine quali- ties which supply the boost and power to withstand the whirlpool of hitherto unknown features of educa- tion. Southern has made it a point to em- phasize these things which enable us to climb the hill to High successfully, and, other than this, it has en- deavored to vary and pep up each course of study. Also, lying at the foot of that hill, Southern realized that it was no grad- ual slope which we faced, and, there- fore, willingly prepared us for the trip. Along the way we found that education may be intensely interesting if attacked with vigorous ardor and stolid determination. Ofttimes we wearied of the con- tinual advancement in study, but Southern was always there to en- courage the weary and strengthen the weak. We had, too, before us, a goal to attain, a goal to be overtaken only by the ambitious and industrious- High School. There were plans to be made-definite plans with which to meet and beat the future. All these we mapped out in Southern, testing our ability in numerous ways. Having hit upon the right track, we prepared ourselves to remain there through thick and thin. Southern's sincere efforts shall not be futile, we hope, and now, at grad- uation, we pause in momentary re- flection upon the events of these last three years. With one lingering glance of grati- tude we place our packs upon our backs and resume the trip over the hill to High. With this issue the Southern Bell Staff extends to all South- ernites best wishes for a happy vacation. The Marshal Club Southern has a right to be very proud of its marshal system, which, we all have come to realize, is vitally necessary to our school government. Miss French has a group of boys and girls well-informed as to the routine and responsibility for controlling hall traffic. We wish, here, to give this short but sincere note of thanks and appreciation to Miss French and her co-workers for their conscientious and fruitful work this year in the estab- lishment of the marshal system. O O Why We Think Our School Is Best. In the Southern we are taught cour- tesy, citizenship, and safety as well as our studies. All of these subjects will help us to be good citizens now and when we are older. If we are good citizens now, we will be good citizens of our city and nation later. I I Mr. Pickett Southern is greatly indebted to Mr. Pickett of the Somerville Journal, who supervises the printing of the Southern Bell. His invaluable ad- vice and generous assistance in the publication of the issues of our paper are fully appreciated by Mr. Shep- herd and the Staff, who, at this time, take the opportunity to thank him. I O We Welcome Mr. Marchant' Mr. Marchant, who has recently become one of us at Southern, is a graduate of Mt. St. Mary's College, in Maryland. While at college, he played football and was on the track team. While a sophomore, he took the oratorical prize, and, in his Junior year, accepted the traditional chair in English when he became the head of the Philomatheia Society, one of the oldest institutions in the country, having been founded in 1808. It nur- tured the drama. We extend to Mr. Marchant a hearty welcome to the school, and hope that his sojourn here will be a long and happy one. GRADUATION NUMBER 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 0 0 0 5 0 5 15 MR.

When the colonists came, they had trouble with the Indians, because they were not friendly with the red men. A few lovers of peace, as John Eliot and William Penn, taught the Indians the love of God by preach- ing to them. John Eliot, through great perseverance and patience, made them his friends, and 'they cer- tainly proved good ones that cold, bleak winter when they kept the early settlers from starving by giving them corn. Penn, too, saw that the In- dians were treated kindly and fairly. No white man was permitted to wrong an Indian. If he did, he was to receive the same punishment as if he had harmed another white man. He even went as far as to have quar- rels between men and Indians set- tled by twelve judges, six white and six Indian. In July, 1683, Penn was amply rewarded for his excellent work. Under an elm tree on the banks of the cool, rippling Delaware River, he was told by the redskins that so long as the sun and moon should last, the Indians and white man would live in peace forever. Surely these words were better than a thousand victories of war could ever be. In spite of his activity in the Revo- lutionary War, George Washington was one of our greatest advocates of peace. During his term in office he proved to us that he was an ardent lover of peace. When France and England were at war, France sent Genet as the new minister of the French Republic to Charlestown, thinking that the United States would, of course, enter the war on the side of France. They were mistaken, however, for Washington issued the Proclamation of Neutrality, announc- ing that it was the policy of the United States to preserve neutrality and to comply strictly with the rules of neutrality laid down by the laws of the nation. This was the legal fPrize Essay, Phyllis Wanzer, III-31 beginning of the policy of isolation, which was followed several years later by a convention that virtually canceled its treaty with France. It became the precedent for the avoid- ance of entangling alliances. In the midst of this turmoil Washington gave his farewell address, still adher- ing to the policy of peace and neu- trality of nations. He said, Ob- serve good faith and justice towards all nations. Cultivate peace and har- mony with all. When Jefferson gave his inaugural address, France was still storming about the Proclamation of Neutral- ityg Jefferson, however, took as his policy, Peace, commerce, and hon- est friendship with all nations, en- tangling alliances with none. Shortly after this, peace came at last to Europe. Already America has celebrated the centennial of the Monroe Doc- trine and can now fully recognize the importance of Monroe's message in 1823. It has kept the western continent free from European ag- gression and from the entanglements of European politics. The Monroe Doctrine refiects the National attitude not only toward Europe, but also toward the Latin States. To them it was a Godsend that the United States undertook to champion their cause and to ward off European aggression. When the news of this great mes- sage was received, a wave of gratitude swept over those lands. Thus, on this occasion the United States also helped to promote peace in other countries as well as her own. Two similar instances were:-- 1. The restraining of England from enlarging her possessions in Central America, 2. The preventing of France from establishing a French Colony in Mexico during the Civil War when France by the aid of French bayonets sought to maintain the puppet emperor Maximilian on his tottering throne. Our own Abe Lincoln was an- other of America's peace lovers, and although he was bitterly opposed to war, he had to fight to preserve the union and make the United States one inseparable nation, secure and stable. On the fatal night when he was shot, a great loss was suffered by the American people, for Lincoln would have been a willing helper dur- ing the Reconstruction Period. With malice toward none and with charity for all was one of his most famous sayings. America will always cherish his memory as the man who preserved our union and peace. He gave Ameri- cans the urge to:- Sail on, sail on, O Ship of State, Sail on, O Union, strong and great. After the smoke of the Civil War had died away, Secretary Blaine, who had become interested in the Latin States, invited them to a general con- ference at Washington to consider common plans for arbitration and the avoidance of war. Becoming greatly enthused, they formed the Pan-American Union which fiour- ishes so splendidly in the magnificent building given them by Mr. Carnegie. Its policy fosters peaceable relations among small nations, as well as re- spect for them, accompanied by a growth in mutual sympathy and har- mony of purpose. During the first two years of the World War President Wilson appar- ently hoped that the United States might at a proper time offer its good offices to bring about peace, even a peace without victory. With this thought in mind, he began to formu- late the basis on which peace might be established. About this time the project for a League to enforce peace attracted his attention and won his approval. After the war was over and the Treaty of Versailles was signed, he established the League of Nations and although the United States does not belong fdesiring not to become involved in foreign afiiairsj, the League has done a great deal to secure peace in other countries of the world, and we think with pride that one of our own presidents was the Founder of this great league. As we gaze into the future, we can- not help wondering whether our coun- try will always be granted such lov- ers of peace as were The Father of his Country, The Preserver of the Union, and the Founder of the League of Nations , and we hope that we may always maintain our title as America, the Champion of Peace.

While walking down Pennsylvania Avenue one day last Week, I saw a sign which read, Sohrab and Rus- tum, Dealers in Persian Rugs. Stand- ing outside was Mr. Mooney. After a shaking of hands, I asked him if he saw any of the old gang of 117 and sure enough he knew where they all Were. Clt seems George Finitsis was the policeman on the beat and he always was pretty talkative.J Anna Aitchison Was president of the School for Secretarial Sandpipers in Tulsa, and her stai consisted of the shorthand teachers, Edith Casali and Virginia Cutter.

They have none. Their goal is the trail of the setting sun. I see their wandering trail unfold, Taunting the weakg calling the bold. I often feel I'd like to be With them, the bold and ever free. O I Secrets of a Toy Shop Elvia Knox One cold, winter evening, not long ago, When the air was full of the driven snow, After putting away each ball and top, The toymaker closed his tiny shop. Now, all was quiet till twelve o'clock, And then the toys began to talk, The tin soldiers soon set out to march, Around and under the candy arch. Then china dollies, dressed in green, Did a Maypole dance for the dollie queen, Then sailor dolls gave a sailor's dance, And brown wooden ponies started to prance. They then all watched a ball relay, And as all such fairy stories say, They left no trace for the toy-man to find K Next morning when he came at nine. C O May Baskets Alice MacKenzie Did you give a May-basket on the first of May, Filled with Howers beautiful and gay, Sweet posies, pink, and red, and blue, And flowers of every other hue? Was the receiver a sweet, little she, Or was it a handsome and gallant liheli? Maybe it was your own dear mother Whom you love better than any other. But I am certain that the receiver Will not be unhappy or a griever. Instead if I'm not entirely wrong, They'll dance around and sing a song. 1 l Pegasus - the symbol and inspiration of poetry' The Brook Frank Britto The babbling brook on yonder rill Flows gently onward, down the hill.

Class Ode Genevra Pye, III-3 School days are nearly over, The time has come to say Goodbye to all, because we've come To a parting of the way. We've had our joyful Prom at last, And our exams are through, And now with many sad regrets, We say, Southern, adieu. We hope you'll miss our cheery group, With gayety alive, And that you'll always bear in mind The class of '35.

The world before us brightly lies, Here memories love to dwell. With saddened hearts and tear- dimmed eyes, We bid to all, farewell! Long will our hearts recall each joy Of friendship we found here, For time can never more destroy The memories burning clear: Of other scenes and other cares Our lips their tales must tell, Each heart your tender mem'ry shares, Friends and teachers, now farewell!

I was sitting in my study last night reflecting that it was the fif- teenth anniversary of my graduation strains of were fad- announcer my heart what he from the Southern. The a very dull radio program ing away, when the brought news that made leap. He was presenting called the Southern Revue. I knew then that he was going to present many of my former classmates on his program. He introduced the guest announcer, Irene Ponte, who is now chief of the A. B. C. Knot the Ele- vator COJ. She turned the program over to the first number which was a dialogue between Barbara Mc- Cauley and Dorothy Feleciano, re- peating some of Mr. Mooney's humor of 1935. Following them came Clara Dratch and June Glover, who were given a chance to sing about Amer- ica's new sweetheart, Annie Howe. Then the announcer introduced the sponsors of the program, Actina and Sophie Gazunis, speaking in the inter- est of their new product, the Na- tional Sneezeless Pepper. Next came a sound like the march- ing of the ninth grade through the corridors of old Southern, and think- ing it was static, I made a move to turn the radio volume down. The voice of Irene broke in with this: The sounds you now hear are com- ing from the nimble feet of three Broadway stars: Dorothy Davenport, Florence Capobianco, and Theresa Sullivan. QHearing this, I thought to myself, I must see Ruth Balboni and Beverly Bent, who run the Loew's Capitol on Broadway, and get a few tickets to see these girls dance.D The next number brought Anna Di Gregorio to the loudspeaker, ,and Anna gave a short talk on the outlook for the baseball season. 1 Just then the door bell rang, and answering it, I found Mary Driscoll and Elizabeth Duff. They had just returned from a long trip to Cali- fornia and decided to look me up. Our attention was then centered on the radio when we heard the familiar strains of the old, old number: Par- don My Southern Accent fand we thought it was very appropriate for such an occasiOn.J Immediately, I knew it was the voice of Charlotte Brenner. Following her selection came a Hill- Billy quartet with Evelyn Lettieri, Stella Farias, Marguerite McGillvray, and Despa Masteralexis, which made us weep for the old gang of ours! Cutting in shortly from California, a special news Hash from Patalano's News Service informed us that Ruth McBride had been appointed head coach of Stanford's Jump-Rope Team, and that Viola Price had been named director of the latest picture, Where Is My Heart? starring Anna Reale, Somerville's gift to Hollywood. Katherine Spoletti and Elizabeth Taylor resumed the broadcast with a short section of the famous play, The Barons of Summer Street. The program was drawing to a close when Kiki Sintetos was called upon to give the figures of the elec- tion of 1950. I knew of no one better to deal in figures and numbers than Kiki. The Band of a Thousand Melodies ended the program, and I knew the fContinued On Page 321 26 0 O O 0 O O O O O O O O O THE SOUTHERN BELL A Review of the Varsity Basket- Viveiros ....... .... 2 2 1 6 Colarusso ........,... 1 0 1 2 ball Season Uservitch ..... .... 2 1 3 5 Nunziato ..... 1 0 2 2 -.

The miraculous Southern seconds, by James Norton won a fair number of games, winning 10 and losing 5. The Southernites fought to the last seconds in their matches with the strong Westernites. Captain Syd- lowski of the Western piloted his team to many a victory, thus winning the championship of the city. Su- mares, Norton, and Sharry led the Southernites in regard to points, While Valente and Leahy played fine defensive work. Filosi, Di Franco, Lacey, Viveiros, and Uservitch played equally as Well. Leahy received a chipped shoulder in the Northeastern game but we are all glad that he has recovered and is able to be a candi- date for the baseball team.

When Coach Fitzgerald of the Northeastern put his second team against our seconds in the final match, Southern wal- loped them 25 to 8. Robillard, Uglietta, and Masi led the second team in the point standing. O'Neil, Fraccastoro, Haiford, Colarusso, and some of the other outstanding players played fine ball and deserve a lot of credit. Masi, O'Neil, Halford, and Jordan have another year at Southern, while Colarusso has two years. The following is the summary of this year's basketball season in regard to points:- .

Southern Hands First Defeat to Western, 7 to 6 The Southern Junior High School baseball team defeated the Western nine, 7 to 6, at Lincoln Park on May 24. This was Western's first defeat of the season. O'Neil, playing first base for the Southern, led the batting with three hits in five trips to the plate. Ed. Sumares, on the mound for Southern, struck out five batters, but was free with his passes, issuing nine free tickets. Southern turned in two very neat double plays, with McQueston and O'Neil featuring in both. Baskewicz had a big day at the plate, batting in four of South- ern's runs. Southern went into the sixth with a five-run handicap, but came back strong and tied the game in the ninth. McQueston sacrificed in the tenth to score Sharry with the winning run.

Last summer during my visit to Chicago, I met all my old classmates from Room 216, as if in a dream. I had no sooner stepped into the Chicago airport when I recognized John LaGrega, who was just bring- ing in the fast mail plane from Bos- ton. Stopping to speak to him, I learned that Shirley Smith and Evan- geline Didris were stewardesses on the passenger plane to California. How I envied them! John remarked that Laura Medeiros and Josephine Casali were still together and made regular weekly trips to their sum- mer home in California. Leaving the airport, I went to my hotel and registered. My eye fell upon a Chicago newspaper, and I saw the name of Arthur O'Leary as editor and a brilliant cartoon drawn by Charles Mitchell. On the register I saw the names of Lena Trani, Nellie Natali, Eleanor Keefe, Elsie Silver, Erminia Gianetti, and Edna Mar- tell. The manager told me that they were planning the Home Beautiful Building for the 1945 Century of Progress. On the way to my room, I saw a Billboard advertising the grand open- ing of the hotel's Hoor show. To my surprise and delight, I saw the names of Joan McCarthy, Edna Curran, and Mary Azzolino fstill dancing along togetherj as the headliners, ably as- sisted by Selita Ferreira, the nation's greatest boop-a-doop girl. That night I went to the show and they danced and sang as well as they' did in 1935. The next morning, I had occasion to visit a large insurance building in downtown Chicago, and I saw Anna Sciacca and Emily Barbosa busily employed as private sacretaries to the president of the building. Emily told me that many of our former lovers of bookkeeping and typewrit- ing were secretaries to the city offi- cials of Chicago. She named Mary Thomas, Augusta Oliver, Anna Didris, Anna Callanan, Vera Camacho, Connie Lima, Ethel Mullane, and Laura McClellan. On the way back to my hotel for dinner, I met Blanche Cram, sitting at the office switchboard. I later learned that she was talking to Edith Minkowitz, traveling in London as chief buyer for Mlles. Catherine Bar- rett and Anna Eames, New York's fashionable clothiers. Thus in a short time I had met and renewed acquaintance with that old group known as III-10. Fred Conway Wins Prize The Southern is very pleased to note that Frederick Conway of Room 321 has won the first prize in an ama- teur radio contest sponsored by a large Boston concern and broadcast over the New England networks.

I took the powder and immediately found myself in a strange and attrac- tive city. Outside the city gates I met a small, attractive creature whom I instantly recognized as Josephine Macri. I asked her where I was and she told me I was in a city founded by the class of '35, and odered to show me around. She first took me to the Hotel Ven- dome where a banquet was in process for the new Senator-elect William Venuti. The orchestra was ably con- ducted by none other than Angelo Struzziero. In one corner of the ban- quet hall I saw a gentleman resplen- dent in a captain of police uniform with much gold. He came over and spoke to us. He was none other than Nicholas Catizone. Assisting him were Lieutenants William Ray and Harold Forni, who looked very at- tractive in uniform. Seated at the press table were Albert J annuzzi, car- toonist and artist, and Frances Capo- danno, who was noting for the mor- row's readers the gowns and jewelry of the ladies. As mayor of this city, Arthur Morrissey was addressing the guests in this fashion, We are, in- deed, fortunate to have as United States senator such an able, capable, etc .... etc. How like Somerville of 1935 it sounded! We next attended the Grand Thea- tre where the interior decorating designed by Harry Reed and Salva- tore Romano was very charming and unique. The cover of the program seemed familiar, and I was surprised to find the name of Edward Lucchini printed in tiny letters at the bottom. The play was written by Amelia Vannucci. It was under the direction of Edward' Federico, and the stage manager was Albert Barros. The leading characters were Joseph Zir- polo, Guyder De Carolis, and Lillian Scienzo. After we left the theatre, we came to a recently opened beauty parlor. Here we found Violet Di Nitto, Ange- lina Castagneto, and Mary D'E1ia hard pat- was at work. Taking care of the men rons was Mario Nardella, who busily applying the scissors and comb. We peeped into a court room where Evo Spurio was Judge, and Edna Lodi, court stenographer. Marietta Marino, the lawyer for the accused, was pleading a very important case. It seemed that Mary Di Luna was arrested for throwing a banana peel on the sidewalk in front of her class- room which caused Richard Hayes, superintendent of schools, to sprain his ankle. The attorney for the superintendent was Armand De Lage. On a hill was situated a magnifi- cent hospital which we visited and found it had been endowed by Sev- erino Napolitano. We found the head surgeon, Dr. John Stewart, holding a consultation with his assistants, Dr. Christopher Di Fraia and Dr. John Harty. The case was one that had baffled many. One of the nurses, Aurelia Abbondante, escorted us to the various wards of the hospital. Hear- ing queer sounds, we stopped in the dental ward and found Dr. Angelo fContinued on Page 323 30 o c o o 0 0 o o o o 0 0 o THE SOUTHERN BELL Band First How: George Flynn, Frank NXYllll2Ll'IlS0ll, John Green, John Tedesco, Thomas Figeira, Paul Murphy, Joseph l'ic-ardi, Joseph Rose, Ernest Reppucci, Fred Keofe.

Curley, and mem- bers of his stafg to the Herald- Traveler building, where they wit- nessed a modern newspaper in the process of manufacture, to WEEI broadcasting station, where the de- tails and mysteries of broadcasting were carefully explained, and to the Navy Yard, where they were thrilled to see the Jacob Rupert, the Bear of Oakland, and Old Ironsidesf' The Southern Bell Staff Attend the League Meeting at Melrose The Southern Bell Staff has al- ways been pleased to attend a meet- ing of the League of Junior High School Publications. On May 17, the staff attended a meeting at Mel- rose High School, sponsored by the Roosevelt School. After registering, we made a tour of the building ac- companied by a guide. At 4.15 we as- sembled in the auditorium for the business meeting and the roll call. Then the staHs, adjourning to sep- arate rooms, held group conferences where they discussed ideas for the improvement of their magazines. Later, a general assembly was called to hear the different reports. At 6 o'clock, in the school cafeteria, we sat down to a very delicious supper. While still seated around the table, we had the pleasure of hearing some distinguished and interesting speak- ers: namely, Mr. Stuart, Superin- tendent of the Melrose Schools, Mr. Sprague, Principal of the Melrose High School, Miss Washburn, Prin- cipal of the Roosevelt School, and Dr. Hawkes, Chairman of the League. The evening program consisted of: sketches by Sav, Herald Staif Car- toonistg Roosevelt Grammar School Orchestra, and an exciting play, How the Race Was Won.

While hastening down the street one afternoon in early June to avoid, if possible, the on-coming storm, I was attracted by an unusually large gathering in front of a hall that dis- played a sign announcing that John Masone, the internationally famous violinist, was giving a recital that very day. I decided that I would kill two birds with one stone by seeing John and avoiding the storm at the same timeg so I hurried to the box office, but was pushed aside with a gruff Where do you think youire going? Looking up, I saw Joseph Bellengi dressed up as one of the city's finest. After awhile, I reached the ticket window where Alice Hamilton, with a smile instead of her school day giggle, was selling tickets. Upon en- tering, I was surprised to see Martin Najarian dressed in the uniform of an usher, and very politely he in- formed me that I would have to be seated or he would be forced to call the manager. Who is the manager? I asked. A gentleman by the name of James Uservitch, he replied. Just then the genial manager ar- rived, and fromlhis ever active mind and wonderful memory I learned still more about my classmates at the Southern. ,Frances Chesnick was a model at a fashionable dress shop, Burton Gustavsen manages a well-known chain of restaurants, Mary Magliozzi had charge of a beauty parlor and specialized in hair-dressing, with her able assistant, Orania Gongalas. He told us that one of his special features that drew crowds and filled the box office was the lovely singer, Miss Helen Conway. Backstage I learned that two of the property men were Gerald Alfeiri and Joseph Denaro. I also found Bessie Sonis diligently painting one of her well-known attractive adver- tisements. The curtain men, Freder- ick McMahon and Quinto Bussolari, proved to be using their strength to their own advantage. And giving the last parting information that Mar- garet Chapman was selling sheet music in the lobby, Mr. Uservitch left me as the Paramount Sound News appeared on the screen. To my great surprise I saw Felix Raineri and Salvatore Valente, each saying a few words about the coming wrestling bout between them. Then the great actor, Robert Bertocchi, ap- peared, giving a preview of his newest picture, The English Lord. Later, Robert Davidson, the popular crooner, sang one of the latest hits at that time. Next, a report was given on the Derby race, showing a picture of the season's winner, John Duggan and his horse. The last scene showed Margaret Park demonstrating some of the modernistic utensils of the kitchen. During the main picture, Ii encountered Sylvia Perrone, Ed- ward Silvia, Thomas Quateri, and Thelma Bean as active movie stars, i QContinued on Page 325 32 O I I I I I O O O O C l O THE SOUTHERN BELL Class Prophecy of III-12 CContinued from Page 315 and very talented actors and actresses. After getting my hat and coat from the hat-check girl, Anna Cutts, I hailed a taxi driven by John Di Maso. After exchanging a few words of greeting, he proceeded to tell me more about my classmates of the Southern. As we passed a well-known news- paper otlice, he informed me that Nellie Bokarvitch and Ruth Cooke had charge of the sports column in which there were many descriptions and accounts. Also, Mary Jouvela- kas and Sophie Sermos, two reporters, had proved courageous in getting sev- eral front page stories in the midst of many dangers. While passing a well known cab- eret, owned by Thomas Federico, I was told by my driver that he was doing rather well, and had engaged the famous orchestra leader, Charles Cabral, with his popular Yankees Some of the band were: Joseph Picardi, Carl Patalano, and Charles Gondola, accompanied by Annie Hay, the singer, and Dorothy Scappi, the Spanish dancer. Reaching my desti- nation, the airport, I was greeted by Irene Duff and Helen Pierce, two air hostesses, who helped me on my plane, which was piloted by William Naples. I Hew away from the city happy in the thought that I had met my class- mates of '35. o o Class Prophecy of III-11 CContinued from Page 295 Scotti extracting a tooth for Mafalda Regina, a patient in the hospital. We came to a beautiful new art museum designed by the architects, Salvatore Di Tucci and George Smith. Here George Di Franco, the superin- tendent, showed us around. Among the famous pictures was The Age of Ignorance, represented by a trail of pupils entering school and painted by Mary Di Lello. Next, we came to a colony of authors. Chester Marcotti and Cosmo Macero, two prominent authors, had just completed the year's best seller, Best Ways to Live and Save Energy. Upon leaving the author's colony, we passed a music studio. Someone was rendering a solo, O Happy Days. As the last notes of O Happy Days rang in my ears, I awoke feel- ing glad that our happy days had not yet ended, for I hope that I may truly prophesy many more happy years for the class of '35. o o Class Prophecy of III-9 fContinued from Page 255 leader was Isabelle Raymond because of the swing and rhythm of it. The voice of the announcer pro- claimed the network signature and the Rambling Rhymestern picked up the program from a local station, and behold it was another Southernite, Sophie Slubenuck. Feeling that our evening was com- plete, Mary and Elizabeth departed, and I fell into a soft, sound sleep. 0 0 Class Prophecy of III-2 CContinued from Page 115 title Discoveries of the Last Ten Years. In her address she tells of the marvelous experiments made by Clifford Hubbell concerning flying in the stratosphere. Later, in our adventure, we visit a peculiar construction, which we dis- cover to be the local high school. We see Mary McQuestion struggling with her class of ambitious Algebra pupils, trying to make them comprehend x as being the unknown number, also in the same school are Ethel Naiman and Mary Holden conducting their Latin and French groups, re- spectively. In the next room we look in on Eunice Felton and Phyllis Lavelli, who are now successful librarians. And now, here we are leaving our friends on Mars, preparing for our trip to Mercury in hope of renewing more of our old acquaintances of the good old Southern, class of '35, o o Oratorical Contest Southern entered its second Ora- torical contest upon the invitation of the Somerville Rotary Club. We were invited to send to their luncheon at the Hotel Woodbridge, on April 2, a pupil who would represent the school in an oratorical contest. Under the supervision of Mr. Brod- erick, the elimination contest was held, leaving the remaining pupils to compete in the finals. Tillie Nissen- baum, James Kelso, Paul Niles, Jos- eph J. McCarthy, Joseph Sousa, Rus- sel Smith, and Francis Stanger de- livered their orations at the third year assembly on March 13. The Misses Coll, Frost, and the Messrs. McGuire, McMahon, and Murray acted as judges. Tillie Nissenbaum was chosen as the best speaker to act as school representative at the Rotary Club. There,' with the representatives from the Western and Northeastern, she delivered her speech and received a handsome medal. The speech was an essay on the motto of the Rotary Club, He profits most who serves best. o o Southern Ranks High in Attendance Southern made a splendid record in attendance during the year. The sections having the highest per cents are:- III-3-98.12 III-1-96.77 II-4-95.77 II-2--95.66 I-1-96.64 I-2-95.84 o o Our Custodians Southern may well boast of attrac- tive well-kept classrooms. To our custodians, Mr. Meskill, Mr. Kelley, Mr. Donovan, and Mr. Dowd, we wish to extend our sincerest thanks for their services rendered throughout the past three years. Neat surroundings have been to us as inducements to study, and, during the winter, we were grateful for the continuous warmth each day.

I didn't come to fall in, the boy explained, I came to fish. O O Overdoing It Cup o' tea, weak, said a customer at a London oflice stall. When the concoction was brought to him, he eyed it cynically.

The young sales- woman gave him one to try, and he covered several sheets of paper with the words, Tempus Fugit. The saleswoman offered him another pen.

It isn't what you know but whom you know that gets you anywhere. It is true that advancement is made easy through the help of friends, but even our friends will not lower their self- respect by aiding us if we refuse to help ourselves. The willingness to work hard in preparation is now as ever the key that unlocks the door to success. Dependence upon luck will result in disappointment. O O The Horse Chestnut Walter Glines, III-3 The brown horse chestnut on the tree, It is most beautiful to see, It is of a most gorgeous hueg It's brown in color, as you'll view. In burrs on trees the chestnuts lie, While blue-winged teal do southward fly. Then winter, it is getting near, And dropping chestnuts you may hear. While squirrels gathering their win- ter store Pick up the chestnuts from nature's floor. o o The Fall Albert Edelstein, III-1 The leaves are falling down, The trees are bleak and bare, The ground is covered with a leafy down, And the chuck has returned to his lair. The snow is now a blanket for the ground, Not a leaf or patch of earth is seen, And through the woods there is not a sound, And the cold over all is keen. 0 0 I 0 0 0 0 THE SOUTHERN BELL Somerville J.
