We, the seniors of Somerset High School, complete our tale of the four happiest and most memorable vears of our lives. As we look back on the beginnings of our high school careers, the thoughts of sports, assemblies, dances, classes, and fun leave a mark that will always mean deep-rooted memories. The audi- torium booming With the roar of a pep meeting, strains from the orchestra drifting through the class- rooms, the noise of the cleats of the football squad as they go to the practice field, the excitement that gripped the casts of the The Form Divine when the curtain opened - all these are memories now. The years we spent as underclassmen seem no more than a mere moment as we look back on them, but at the time, we could think of no greater goal than being seniors. At last our senior year arrived - the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. We remember the long drudgery of hitting our magazine sales goal, but we went over the top to establish a new record. Senior Rotarians were selected, and speeches were prepared by William Bowman, Donald Rininger, Thomas Fridy, Ernest Gelpi, Ioseph Lehr, Donald Egolf, Ronald Brant, Donal-d Bungard, Richard Cugini, and Clark Schrock, who represented us at Rotary Club. Seniors on the football squad will remember their last game on the gridiron, when at the last gun their football careers ended at Somerset High. The basketball play- Williarn Bowman james Suter Lois Countryman Richard Cugini Mr. Watkins ers will remember their last play-off games and the record they accumulated. The cross-country and track squads will reminisce over the strenuous and tiring workouts after school for the big meets that always paid off. The senior wrestlers will never forget the finals in the District V championships. No senior athlete will ever forget the tenseness before a game or meet, or the relaxation and noise in the locker rooms after an evening's Workout. But the end was slowly catching up with us. We began plans for our Commencement pageant. Then came the unforgettable practices in the evening. With the future much realer and nearer, we began to form plans. We began to realize the separation ahead as teachers, nurses, engineers, lawyers, doctors, service- men, and many others. The seniors made their Prom dates and danced in the gym for the last time as students. Then the inevitable, as we marched down the aisle of the auditorium. The orchestra and chorus played and sang the last time for us. Now Baccalaur- eate was over, and we pressed our gowns for the finale -- Commencement. The big night arrived, and with the breeze blowing through thepine boughs in the backdrop we took part in the last performance of the Class of 1955, when we stepped up and accepted our high school diplomas. As the last echos of the Alma Mater died, we were filled with an emotion never to be forgotten. Farewell. TALES SEN
