THE SENIORS' STORY Our first accomplishment in 1937 as freshmen was to break the record made by other freshmen classes with a roll call of 235, the largest class ever to enter S. H. S. up to that time. Al- though we were busy the rest of the year getting used to our environment we took time out to present a very in- teresting assembly program. As sophomores we settled down to work. Not only did we sell candy at football and basketball games, but we slaved two whole days in the cafe- teria over teachers' institute. We de- lighted the whole school with our never-to-be-forgotten mock wedding. And I know the seniors enjoyed them- selves immensely at the Sophomore- Senior Dance, even if the deck of the S. S. Good Time had a bad habit of collapsing. The following year talent from our class became quite outstanding in the operetta, assembly programs, and in athletics. The crowning event for 1940 was the Iunior Prom. This year, 1941, we have been busier than ever. There have been the Rotary Club, Eaglet, Captain Apple- jack, and, oh, so many things. In the spring we shall bid farewell to our many activities when we dance at the Iunior-Senior Prom to the strains of the lovely music of the Somerset High School Swing Orchestra.
