THE SENIORS' FAREWELL During the last months of school, the seniors held the spotlight of at- tention without any opposition. Those were busy days for every senior, with a practice for this and that scheduled every night. But they all dropped every care and worry on the night of the Soph- omore-Senior Dance and the Iunior Prom. The sophomores staged a modern blitzkreig on the gym, and the result was a stately military ball. The guests danced under a patriotic canopy of red, white and blue, and flags, can- nons, and a huge eagle completed the decorations. The juniors took us south of the border to a gala Mexican festival. A false ceiling of bright colors was sus- pended from the top of the gym, and cacti sprung up magically from the floor. The seniors' farewell assembly program Was a riot of fun that every one enjoyed. The past, the present, and the future of Somerset High School Seniors was presented in burlesque fashion by their most clever actors. Then came move-up day, with the seniors parading in one room and out the other, singing Where, oh where are the grand old Seniors? It was difficult to keep the end and the head of the line in the same key, but they struggled on bravely. Baccalaureate and commence- ment Were in a more serious vein. Baccalaureate was a solemn, impres- sive service as the seniors worshipped with parents and friends. The com- mencement pageant presented the his- tory of music in Somerset Borough schools. It is interesting to note the cost of sending a graduating class out into the world. This year approximately S240 was spent for diplomas, and S220 was spent for caps and gowns. S50 for flowers and other incidentals brought the total to 5510. When the Seniors graduated, they carried with them the realization that commencement was only the begin- ning of a new and longer term in the school of life. l 25
