SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.
In 1918, Somerville High School received honorable men- tion in the list of schools whose pupils secured one or more highest ratings in the College Entrance Examination Board. Twenty-three public schools in the state were mentioned, of these Boston Latin School received seven highest ratings, Som- erville High School came second with six, Brookline, Cambridge and Lowell High Schools third, with three.
The Preparatory Department of our school was given spe- cial attention when the two schools were united in 1911, and many of the strongest teachers in their respective subjects from both schools were assigned to this department. These have all proved their worth and have been faithful and efficient. Heads of departments were appointed to supervise the work, and they have watched diligently over the work of the various years in their respective departments. In addition, a Head of the Course was appointed. Mr. Wilkins, since 1913, has kept in close touch with the colleges and their requirements, with the heads of departments and their work, and especially with the pupils. The pupils in the department have frequently been ad- vised regarding the demands of the various colleges, and in- numerable personal interviews have been held, to advise, en- courage, and admonish. In fact, every effort has been made to strengthen and uphold the standards of this part of our school, and I am free to state that the Preparatory Department is excellently organized and is running smoothly and efficient- ly.

IN MEMORY OF CAROLINE G. BAKER.
a teacher in the Clark Bennett School, WHO DIED APRIL 21, 1918.
"Loving and gentle in all her teaching of little children, frank and firm in her contact with parents, earnest and sympathetic in all her work for the poor,-who can measure the influence of this strong, kindly nature upon all the lives she has touched and strengthened and inspired during a generation of faithful service in our city."
IN MEMORY OF BERTHA A. RAYMOND.
a teacher in the Somerville High School, WHO DIED SEPTEMBER 21, 1918.
"A rare teacher and a great influence upon the youth of our City .- her loss as a teacher and in the larger life of school and city cannot be estimated.
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best."
