We have some real athletes: some of the best are Worthington Barnett, O'Leary Meece, Richard Weddle, Leslie Woodall and Grayce Ross. Rosemary Talbot is a talented declaimer. Thelma Sears and Williena Burdine, as Freshmen, were Latin sharks and continue to be so. This year they have fallen hard for Caesar.

PHILLIPS-Sponsor After this year's initiation into high school, we have come to the conclusion that the life of a Freshman is indeed difficult. Neverthe- less, with our own hardships still fresh in our minds, we unmercifully plan our September campaign when we have assumed the name' of Sophomores. We have been so busy overcoming the many obstacles in our way that we have not yet had a chance to show the extent of our abil- ities. In spite of the fact that we are mere Freshmen, we see blos- soming in our class some of the best students in school. Several members of the orchestra, we feel, can partly replace the departing musical Seniors. We expect to have a few remarkable orators when we have finished, and in athletics we are destined to rise high. So keep your eye on the class of 1931 and you will find us reach- ing toward the top .

Luck, who shines and smiles on all teams at some time or other, never beamed or shone even for one short moment on the Jumpers. Ill fate, which must have been accumulating in the centuries past, hurled itself in one huge lump on the 1927 Briar Jumper football team, but they came through with five victories and one tie out of nine gamesg however, Somerset was forced to forfeit several games. SOMERSET 6-KY. WESLEYAN FRESHMEN 0 Briar Jumpers hitting on all six. A great defensive game by both teams. Bush Hog blasts Wesleyan's hopes by running 67 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. Somerset uses four plays during game. Mills severely injured and forced out of game. Later Wesleyan claimed Southern Freshmen championship by virtue of no defeats and a victory over the highly touted Centre Frosh team. SOMERSET 14-PINEVILLE 8 Saving everything for Manual and only breezing through the game, the Jumpers eked out a win over the Mountain Lions from Pineville. Pineville presented a good passing team, but they were not in class with the Jumpers. Somerset's line was mighty powerful in this game. A forward and a lateral pass gave the locals their scores. Pineville scored on a fluke long pass and a safety. Somer- set was never in danger. I SOMERSET 6-MANUAL 14 The Jumpers licked the socks off Arntson's lads, but were un- able to concentrate their drive. Fourteen first downs to six was the real margin by which Somerset outplayed the Crimsons. Wieland, of Manual scored both markers. Bush Hog crashed through for Som- erset's score, after lugging the ball on a 50 yard drive to the seven yard line. Somerset's line was super-human and constantly drove the Crimson team back. Manual was held seven downs on their one yard line at one time and Mills punted out to safety. SOMERSET 46-FRANKFORT 0 Capital City boys fRoemele's alma materl no match for the Jumpers. McKinney, at full, cut lots of capers. Meece showed ability in this game. Inman played great game at center. Hox ineligible. Last time big team played together.

Bush Hog, Hox, Mucci, out of game. Became ineligible on eve of game. Shoopman and Girdler out due to injuries. Team spirit died that day. A great game for Danville. Team in clouds all during game. Never threatened at any time. Great crowd at game. After game, grumblers get going. Try again. SOMERSET 0-M. M. I. 0 Team overhauled -played great game and deserved to Win. Game ended with ball on one foot line in Somerset's possession. Timekeeper's signal misinterpreted by Jumpers. Mills played a real game-his best of the year. Chesty Copeland made his debut as a real lineman. Jim McKinney and Tibbals right in there. Kissam a tower of strength. Somerset worried M. M. I. with a fast crash- ing off-tackle play. Betts and Pribble plenty strong for Millersburg, This game was the first game played by the overhauled Somerset team. A soMERsET 31-STANFORD 6 Great game for all the boys-subs and all. Sully Montgomery had a hot day at bat. Barnett played bang up ball. Weddle goes nicely, all are good. Kissam, Hill, and Copeland tear Stanford up. Jim and Shoopman each made a nice gain with the ball. Stanford caught Jumpers asleep and scored a marker. SOMERSET 0-GEORGETOWN 18 Ineligibility again. Mills says bye bye, and takes seat on bench along with Bush, Hox, etc. Too bad. Buialoes win, but their vic- tory is not impressive as Somerset continually miscued in the pinches. A couple of heartbreaking decisions-cold weather, and a broken i imorale. Better luck next time. Kissam, Tibbals, Barnett and Jim Hog work nicely. See you next year, Georgetown. SOMERSET 12-LEXINGTON 0 ' And then out of the darkness there came a light. The Briar Jumpers doped to be beaten by about three touchdowns tore in- to the Devils and licked them to death. A nice short pass. Heady work by Barnett and 'the tightest defense ever seen did the work. Somerset was the aggressor throughout. The field, as usual, was ankle deep in mud. Coach and fans go wild as Shoopman crosses goal for last marker, putting game on ice. Lexington could not solve the nine man line defense of the Jumpers. Great day for Captain elect Tibbals, Kissam,-oh well, and the whole crew. V.

Briar Jumpers Fighting with a spirit that could not be licked, playing with all odds against them and making every point count, the Somerset Bri- ar Jumpers sprang over night from a mere basket ball ant to a mighty giant and nipped in the bud any championship hopes harbor- ed by the teams comprising the Twentieth District of Kentucky. J ourneying to Science Hill, where the scene of battle was staged, the best the Jumpers could boast of was a beggar's prayer and hope. The Purple and Gold had been battered into miserable defeat by Monticello to the tune of a score too bad to tell about, and not once, but twice, Science Hill had humiliated the Jumpers in games with one- sided scores. Then, too, Ferguson had thrown the hooks into the Purple and Gold by a very healthy margin. That was the lay of the dope when the Jumpers presented themselves at the tournament. Merely the scrap of a team , was the common comment among basket ball circles. But when the smoke had cleared away, and the spectators had trekked their way back to their homes, the huge silver trophy, symbol- ic of district championship, rested in the hands of the Briar Jumpers. Monticello, by 36 to 20, Science Hill by 21 to 18, and Ferguson by 14 to 12 had been left in Somerset's path of victory. And never will the memory of those games be forgotten. It is quite true that great- er games have been won by Somerset in the past, but never have such games been won against such heavy odds. The 1928 team cannot be called the most perfect, most finished team ever representing Somerset, but it can be said that they had more than their share of fight and spirit. Starting the season with but one man who could claim previous basket ball knowledge and ex- perience, the coach and players were up against a problem. How- ever, true to the spirit of Somerset, all parties dug in and started the wheels to moving.

The Jumperettes The sound of a whistle was heard in the gymuasium last Novem- ber, and about thirty-five girls reported for basket ball practice. The sound of a whistle was heard a few more times, a pistol was fired a few times, and the jumperettes had finished a successful season. They played twelve games, winning eight and losing four. Every game, whether won or lost, was played hard and clean and was an honor to those who played. Games were won from Mon- ticello, Burnside, Ferguson, Nicholasville and Liberty, and games were lost to Burnside and Science Hill. These latter teams played in the finals of the district tournament and both represented this dis- trict in the regional tournament. This season closes the high school basket ball career of three Jumperettes: Captain Ruth Davis, Jean Gibbs and Erma Vitateau. Ruth Davis has given her best for four years to the team and as cap- tain inspired them to do their best for her. Jean Gibbs came out for basket ball only when a senior, but soon won for herself a place on the squad and, whenever called upon, always did her best, which was more than good. Erma Vitateau was a hard fighter and a good loser, who in victory or defeat never failed to urge the team on un- til the end. Ray fBushJ McKinney took the midgets soon after the season started and worked with them all season making out of them play- ers for teams of the future. Among those whom he trained and who will be strong competitors for a uniform next year are Grace Massey, Nellie McManus, Bertha Reid, Elsie Reagan, Ruth Murphy, Eula Judd, Grace Simpson, Virginia Vitateau, Lucille Vitateau, Mary E. Cooke, Maxine Prather, Rapheal Jackson, Ethel Denton, Helen Cecil, and Beulah Hamm. With these midgets working and waiting, Nita Osborne breaking and blufiing, Bertha Isaacs training and trying, Art Osborne rushing and running, Kappy Waddle fak- ing and feigning, Grace Ross shooting and shouting, Tennye Inman dribbling and driving, Faye Jackson pivoting and passing, Leland Bullock boosting and battling, Nina Washington guessing and guarding, the Hamms pushing and pulling, and Ruth Hunter judging and jumping, next year's Jumperettes will be a team that all the twentieth district will fear. ,W 1- . ,, 1 1 3 4 i f x E 2 2 E s v Departments English Latin French History, Civics, and Sociology Mathematics Chemistry and Physics Botany, Zoology, and General Science Home Economics Art Mechanical Drawing Printing Mannal Training and Forge Physical Training Mnsic Library ,- -qL':: I :qu-: ll 5 1 W' I ...I .Aj -gin 2 lm' L' H 1 , A ll z . v74 U '-vqqlr -'---11 --' u Q11 1 - iw Q ul G 'll I 'gf J H 711-.---3 U m-Y 31' 1 l- I M I-gr,-45-:rxnf!3Aa I A -lgnxxxlkxxt ,. :: ': I 1 :SSS il v Q V11 J ll -Q: Y : if S ii' .

Our art classes have accomplished a great deal this year. We have become familiar with the art of all countries through illustrat- ions, often in color, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The freshman class has proved that art expression is not the pos- session of a few select, but that we can all compose visual music . At the first of the year we made rhymthic border designs, all over patterns, and animal tile designs in three values of blue. Our first experience with color combinations was with cut paper. One class introduced very interesting looking folks into Somerset High School: the other two classes created decorative landscapes and imaginary castles. By the time we had designed and painted, in four different color schemes, abstract flower motifs on a plate, our freshmen had gained suiiicient confidence to express most any idea. We had lots of fun filling a rectangle with some notable person in fiction or in the world at large who interested us. The freshmen had their chance toward the end of the year to make not only a poster but something useful. Poster classes are servants of the school. When there is any- thing to advertise we always find the poster people willing and cap- able. Ethusiasm for each athletic event, as well as our Trip Around the World , O Hara San and plays is recorded in posters. Crafts is a subject very popular with prospective brides. We design and work out our ideas in useful objects. We have made styl- ish felt pillows, parchment lamp shades painted in transparent Japan- ese water color, cut paper designed waste baskets, batik, and many individual articles. .l The Art Department of Somerset High School is a success if ideas got in our everyday work become a part of us, that we may choose that which is beautiful for our environment. -' f-' y'-'fx rmmul rw FI - .lr-r-rg-thug-msn jazz: In 1f::::l::.-xxlkxxi ' --1-1 I il C ,....-- - --q-- I ' ' A n . v74 I '-7331: ----41 --' ' : : gxq 4 5 r A r 11 I aunt: 111 5 X lil lllD'ZA 3. H1112 12 Sewing Notes Sewing IV is compulsory for Senior girls. Their course begins with the makingiof a fall hat. This year the hats were made of vel- vet and felt. In most cases, old velvet was cleaned and steamed or old felt hats were cleaned and remodeled. Planning the commencement dresses begins with a study of color, line, and fabric. A form is drafted from the individual meas- urements, and then the dress is designed on the form. These dresses are inspected on living models by an expert from the Sewing De- partment of the University of Kentucky. The cost of the entire dress can not exceed ten dollars, and a prize of ten dollars is given to the girl whose dress is adjudged best as to becomingness, color, line, seams, neatness, hems, Iinishings, appropriateness, and time spent in making. A note-book is kept with the study of costumes. It contains samples of constructive processes in sewing, such as all kinds of seams, hems, buttonholes, plackets, ruffles, bindings, laces, weaving and textile design, and decorative stitches. A suit of underwear is made in order to train the girls in hand sewing. Sewing I is a course in machine sewing. A suit of underwear, a cotton or linen dress or smock, and a thin dress of organdie or voile are made. A note-book is required with the study of textiles and costume design, care of clothing, and clothing and health. Sewing II is a class in art needlework. It is a study of appro- priate materials and designs for linens for the home. A notebook is made in which are kept advertisements clipped from current maga- zines. These are advertisements of the best brands or grades of sheets, towels, curtains, draperies, bedspreads, beds, springs, and fioor coverings. Each girl is allowed to make in class luncheon sets, lamp shades, or any kind of linens for the home. Sewing III or Interior Decoration, is a course of study of the principles of design and color in relation to walls, ceilings, floors, fur- niture, and decoration. The history of period furniture, its origin and development, historical setting and characteristics are studied in detail. After the more important and essential items of the home- furnishing have been considered, the smaller items of ornamentation are studied!such as lamps, pictures, mirrors, and the likeg and also, attention is given to the method of lighting the rooms.

Often we learn to prepare five or six new dishes in one day by simple variations. We do not stop at the prepa- ration, but we must serve and eat them properly. Many home projects have been entered into, such as preparing and serving a meal to the family: cooking the vegetables for one week: and preparing a salad for Sunday. Outlines of this work are signed by the mother and handed in. A great effort is make to get every lesson practiced in the home. We know that practice makes perfect . Competition always adds enthusiasm. The Household Science Class was divided into four groups, and a different contest was planned for each week. These were closely associated with the class work for that week. Group I, of which Dorothy Fulkerson was cap- tain, had the highest number of points when the contest was an ex- hibit of good table manners or first aid to the injured, but this group lost by a large score when it came to no chewing gum week . Our Department is also responsible for the football banquet, which is our greatest undertaking. Manual Training Department The seventh and eighth grade boys are taught the fundamentals of furniture making and the application of the tools. Then upon en- tering high school as Freshmen, they are ready to begin a detailed study of the high polish finish. It would be almost impossible to give a complete list of the beau- tiful things designed from wood. The boys have made everything from miniature automobile trucks to cedar chests and library tables. Chester Copeland has the largest lumber bill. For this and other reasons, his co-workers have long ago come to the conclusion that his beautiful work is inspired by dreams of a home where a small auburn- haired girl shall reign surpreme. Ray Girdler is also very exacting about his library table. Perhaps he, too, plans to have a collection of furniture inanother year. J im Hog has worked faithfully on a davenport table and Bush has finished his tool chest in spite of several unmentionable mishaps. The reason for Francis Eckstein's -X ,f - , luruzriknrzriggg-lQ1f::::i:1::xIk1xi fr ' f---: -' f - --sa: ----4: :f-- : :em : rx: 1 2 Z :rl - Lljnnihh 311 , fl l' I D 'Z U U 1111 I 2-. making a six foot costumer, which he could not possibly reach, re- mains yet to be seen. Allin all, you can find in the Manual Training Department a handy bunch of boys. If there are football bleachers to build, ban- quet tables to put up, or stage scenery to be made, the boys can be found on the job with their tools. Each one is planning to make some woman a very useful husband, for they say they want to be just like their teacher. Forge Department Not far from the busy workers in the Manual Training room can be found the workers of the -anvil. They fashion their products from metal and though the results may not be as decorative, never- theless, their work is just as essential as that of the workers of Wood. W The forge class has made butcher knives, hammers, wrenches, log chains, and many other useful articles. As to the pupils them- selves, they are varied in efficiency. Herbert Link is the star pu- pil. Robert Smith and Edwin Baker, having vowed to take good care of their health, lag behind for fear of overwork. The heat evidently bothers Ivan Inman, for he attends as few classes as possi- ble. Yet, in spite of the fact that they sometimes appear to be lazy, the forge class is a good group of workers. They work away on their red hot metal, and their anvils are in tune with the hammers across the hall. Printing Department Somerset High School is one of the most fortunate schools in the state. Among other advantages, she can boast of having her own print shop. In this shop, Mr. Miller and the boys print the school paper and annual, the record cards used by the superintend- ent and principal, and, in fact, all the printed material of any kind which is needed in the six Somerset schools. Ralph Gardner, the best press-feeder in school, and Edward Denton, the best type-setter, graduate this year. This leaves a no- ticeable vacancy in the department, but there are other school prin- ters who, with a little more experience, can rise to the rank of the boys who are leaving. ,ya --E ls:-:i Ulllml 5'-ssl v lnrrrilgf-zxifslfj!-n1f '-rfncxxlkxrxi ,L29'Z7iSb'na:'::'n 0-' n-Hmmm uv-A ,A Q -. q -1-.2 I -en- v ips v n vgr 4: an .ai l A131 .1 -Qin s u v 4 l I F1 U Q11 I g -su A 4 r A I -:unc 111 , - GIRLS' TRIO K FRESHMEN CHORUS l'm1rlr'lk1'EIi f '5' n IA1-:gi:1XKlk Tl 'WZ -- ' U xii u gk!

Class Poem By Lena Sears In the midst of May days cheery, as we face the end so weary, Comes the time to say farewell to school so dear, Now we feel we half regret it, for we know we'll ne'er forget it, Where we've worked and played and done our best each year. We have watched the classes leaving, and we thought they were deceiving When tlgey spoke of sorrow on the parting ay! Now we think we know the feelingthat within their hearts was stealing When they laughed and vainly tried to be so gay- ' We have had our trials and sorrow, but we've looked to some bright morrow, Facing all with hearts both strong and full of cheer, And in spite of all lamenting, the end we're not resenting, We're proud now to relate our class ca- reer. In athletics we've succeeded, we've had cap- tains for two seasons Both for girls' and boys' teams of basket ba . Then upon the football gridiron, we have al- ways been considered As the class with boys who fight and give their all. We have every kind of music, vocal-violin if you choose it, We've the best piano player in the state, We own half the mixed quartet, the Pleiades you've surely met, Our musicians make us proud of how they rate. Scholarship is far from lacking, we have nev- er yet been pikers, Just loolg utpon our honor roll and you will n Our class has more than any other, in the school there's not another That can equal us in length of that famed me. In our English composition, to uphold our high position, Four prizes to our credit can be found, We're a class to be relied on, for our work we never tire of, We're happy too, you'll never ind us looking down. In art we're represented, and we should be well contented With the best all-round artist in the school, Then just look at our debate team, have you noticed it's all our team? You'll find it's winning too, as a rule. You may think that I'm o'erstating as our honors I'm relating, Because no names I've mentioned as you see, But names will not fit in my meter, so if you wish the list completer, Just look our records up that you may see. In our class there's talent plenty, and we know we surely meant it When we said we'd win in anything we tried, We have worked so hard to prove it and we know that we can do it In spite of all that comes by time and tide. For although we hate to leave it, the dear school that we believe in, The time has come to plan for future years, Though we leave its doors forever, from our hearts can ne'er be severed Dreams of high school days so filled with joys and fears. From the realm of high school learning to some other we'll be turning With a spirit just the same and purpose high, Our chance we've made the most of, and we feel that we may boast of The record we have made in Somerset High.

Um-1 11' Class History By Dorothy Inman The four years with our dear school have passed. To quote our good deeds and our misdeeds would make quite a volume-a volume valuable to none except to the students of '28. But on our hearts are engraved every single act and thought. These we will cherish when our school days have become just a memory . The history of the human race is one of progress, and the senior class is a small portion of that race-decidedly human, but courageous and fine. The history of this senior class is also one of progress- through sunshine and shadow, through joy and despair. I feel that I cannot deal with personalities. Had I the gift of the poet, I could write beautiful sonnets to my class. Had I the wit of the humorist, I could entertain with many ludicrous stories. But alas, with my prosaic nature, I can tell only in a general way the ac- complishments of the class of '28, The doors of a new world to conquer were thrown open four years ago to an ambitious group of youngsters. We were eager to enter, but timid and afraid. Quickly we rallied our forces and pushed on into the promised land . With us we brought courage inestimable, dependability unlimited, industry unassailable, honesty, truthfulness, co-operation-all that it took to make the highest type of men and women. We struggled through our Freshman year treated to all the indignities of under- classmen, but all the time we were laying secure foundations for the years to come. - Clearly, if we are to do worthwhile things, there is not amoment to lose. One hundred years from now in our cells forever laid, most of us will be forgotten. But today is filled with possibilitiesg the decks of life have been cleared for action. So with this thought ever be- fore us, we journeyed through our Sophomore year and were well prepared to enter the Junior. By this time we had become a vital part of the school, having brought with us not only the necessary credentials, but the best. Yesterday had been hurled by Father Time into the realm of things that wereg tomorrow lurked in the shadows of uncertainty. Having realized the importance of being up and doing, we claimed many prizes in art, music and oratory during our third year. We became more firmly banded together by ties of association and companion- gd ,I Y lg- lg.-5-tilt:-:nigga-lnl'::::b:tKxlk 1--- 2 64 7 2 ffl. S I-viii: ----41 12 2 L ' -' 1'- lD'lA ll 1111! 12' ship. Our opinions of ourselves were very flattering, for we had accomplished a great deal and were ready to take our place as Seniors. A This position we have held With all the pomp and glory attend- ing it. We have accomplished that for Which We have striven. There are a few perhaps, who have not done that which they were capable of doing, and if there are such, they owe an apology to the school which has offered them so many opportunities. The time has now come when We must bid adieu to our dear old school, our faithful teachers, and our friends. A new life now lies before us, but We have no fear, for, in the words of Emerson: Life's great voyage is one of charm if our eyes are opened to its beauty. It is filled with music if our ears are attuned to the melody of right living . X-:rl Q' -x Il crxxlkuni .G::'f!!f.':'?!Q1.. 1:5-12- . .... .. ....

Cundiff Knowledge comes by Understanding, Understanding leads our Progress, and our Progress may be traced by the footprints on the Sands of Time. A First, there was the Stone Age, when life was for the strong of arm and the fleet of foot, then, the Iron Age, and, whilelife was more precious, still the strong were lords over the weak. Next came the Golden Age, and riches took the place of strength, but the poor found little choice between the slave drivers' whips of olden days and the grim weapons of poverty and starvation. Now, we are entering a New Age, the Mental Age, where every man can be his own master, where poverty and circumstances no longer hold power, where the lowliest creaturein the land can Wm a place side by side with the highest. We might compare this age to a city surrounded by a Wall of Knowledge. This city, with all its houses, palaces, cathedrals mighty engines, and huge, immeasurable traffic and tumult, is but the result of a Thought, of millions of Thoughts made into one. It is a Spirit of a Thought, embodied in brick, iron, smoke, dust, palaces parliaments, coaches, docks, and all the inventions of the modern world. Not a brick was made but some man had to think of the making of it. That power to think, to understand, goes hand in hand with Knowledge. In the wellsprings of our minds are unplumbed depths-undis covered deposits of initiative, courage, ability. But first, we must sound these depths to bring these treasures to the surface: and then it is that we gain an astounding wealth of new power. We were created to become geniuses, to conquer, to accomplish and to excel by noble deeds and daring acts. The power to be what we want to be, to get what we desire, abides within us. It rests with us to bring it forth and put it to work. But, before we can do this, we must first have the key to this Wall of Knowledge, which separates us from the beautiful city. That key is our school. Itake great pleasure in presenting this symbol to the classes to come, and I solemnly ask the Juniors to protect it and save it that we may ever go forward-never backward.

Ii Class Knocker By Sam Kennedy I felt deeply disgraced when called upon to be class knocker If it had been historian, or poet, or any other activity of the class day program, Iwould have felt highly honored, because those are chosen according to their success along that particular line. But to be knocker! I think a knocker is chosen because he is the most complaining and friendless member of the class, and I was under the impression that I possessed neither of these sad afflictions. But if I am already disagreeable, I shall wax more so in this epistle, and certainly I sh-all be more friendless after it is over: so here goes- first, about the faculty: Mr. Hopkins: We have to convene three times a week in the auditorium, once for society and twice for chapel. That is entirely too often. You should be knocked severely, for any man that is a school superintendent should know better. It's hard to knock a man as good looking as Mr. Purdom, because I'd have the public against me. However I shall venture to make one remark. All that I have against you is that you laugh at me, when, expecting an excuse, I bring a hard luck story to you. Miss True, you have entirely too many pet expressions: for in- stance: My checkered apron , you want all the chairs exactly in line, and you won't let us turn around, or even put our feet on the chair in front of us. Surely you are afflicted with a great many faults. Mr Gatten, your most grievous fault is your serious dislike for text books. You think that the bunk you bring forth from maga- zines and libraries has our Problems of Democracy text book beat a block, but I don't agree with you, myself. Mr. Blackburn, you are a man short of stature, but you have a massive heart, which is always open to women. I cannot yet tell whether this affliction is natural or cultivated. Miss Rouse, Miss Spalding, and Mr. Phillips, I must knock you on the auditoriums you keep. You make so much disturbance cor- recting students for talking that we cannot study. We'd rather be annoyed by the occasional whispers of our classmates than by your constant chatter. Miss Collins, Miss Fowler, Miss McClintock and Miss Rogers all have one fault in common. Each of you thinks that your own par- ' IE-:illflll seal ,- l55f1lrq! l?lf:g::lnfxxlk13i - ... - - , ---- --,,, A ::--- mini! .1 Q3 A g a ' Z g::s-aunt-K1 ' - r W' o -1 n :nuns 1 Q ticular line of instruction is the only one in High School that is indis- pensible. Miss Collins thinks the only thing of importance in school is her girls' basket ball team. Miss McClintock could almost live on Latin alone. Miss Fowler thinks the school wouldn't last five minutes without the sewing department, and Miss Rogers thinks that music rules the universe. There are two members of the faculty who are rather hard to knock. One is Miss Johnson, the woman behind the stove . To knock her would be like biting the hand that feeds us. The other is Mr. Miller. Pard, you are just too good to your pupils. Miss Gay, you were my greatest problem: so I went forth, found a freshman art slave and asked her, What is your greatest grievance against Miss Gay ? This freshman screeched forth only one word ' 'Notebooks' '. ' Y Dad Mershon, you are sometimes accused of having too big a time with your boys. This may or may not be true. I cannot say, never having had a class under you. ' And now about my classmates: Mary Evelyn Allen, you are too quiet. No one would guess that you ever had a thought. Paul Cundiff, don't be too self-important. Iwonder how it feels to think that the world rests on your shoulders. Jean Gibbs, you are too willing to be imposed on. Don't be so submissive. Ferne Gooch, you are too young to fall so deeply in love with teachers. These love affairs are one sided though, I see. Hattie Johnson, you are not silent enough. Why don't you put that energy to a useful application instead of wasting it tee-heeing and talking? Evelyn Colyer, you are a lazy little country girl. You need some horsefeathers to put some energy in you. James R. Moore, someone told you that you could sing, but don't swallow every line like that. There may be a ring on the end of it. Bertie Porch, you have an awfully big mouth. Better sew it up before it spreads. Mildred Godby, you are too reticent for a good pianist. Why don't you give us a treat ever once in a while? Gladys Moore, why don't you reduce? Anyone can be fat, but you've got the world beat. Margaret Monroe, just because you have a permanent love af- fair, you don't have any thing to do with us. But we don't feel hurt. . mf' 5 -K f J-'o Isa lfillrllllses ?1 S22 I I 22:2 11 , ,,-,. - 'gg 4 -.--al an ---.- l A111 u 'Qi A 'd l-vial 'TZZII '-- NI -' 1 niihghix 4 72 r g A I DZQHQQQIBU I l1i , Q Q-.i jj 1 gp-34 S 1111! 11- Marjorie Reams, you are too short. Get energetic and tall at the same time. Cecelia Smith, it won't work up here to try to rule the world and Mr. Purdom. Lena Sears, forget about getting married in June, and resume your studies. Millie Fulcher, you are too timid. No use in it whatsoever. Carrie Dick, that air of complete boredom pains me a whole lot. Cut it out! Ray McKinney, you make too much chin music. No one appre- ciates it but yourself. Katherine Sitton, you have too many love affairs at once. You aren't fooling anyone but yourself. Louis Pumphrey, we know you're busy, but don't let your bus- iness interfere with your education. It's customary to get to classes on time. Try it. Dorothy Inman, why don't you go on and get married, and quit holding that lawyer in suspense? Charles Gibson, it's not very dignified for seniors to run after freshmen girls. Everett Tomlinson, you are awfully sassy for a little wart, but I guess you can learn. Luther Tibbals, you are little, but you surely are loud. Little people should be seen and not heard. Edith Cooke, you should be ashamed to dye that pretty red hair of yours. Lillian Collier, butteriiies often get their wings singed when they flit around a candle. Take warning: you might get married. Zelma Colyer, you are too fat and sassy. That isn't becoming to you: so remedy both faults. Marie Coleman, what's the matter with the Somerset boys? Or is it that you just can't fool them like you can the Danville boys? Ruth Davis, people who have straight hair and curl it are im- postors. Be Warned. Cliford Day, I'd rather be flat-footed than red-headed. You should remedy this defect. Edith Denton, giggles must run in the Denton family. No won- der you are so fat. Edward Denton, you are too sleepy. Wake up and die right. -x-J'-xfz 'NX IE: mill!! zeal :...r.1 .n.. Q ' 1....g ,.. is 5- , .41a:g.5..

Hazel Farmer, you ought to reduce before you get married: you'd look better in your trousseau. Ralph Gardner, I suggest that the giftorian give you a magic potion to speed you up. Irene Meece, you are too tall and slender. However, that is not a faulty it's an affliction. Evelyn McMullen, that lovely disposition won't get you every- thing. Cultivate some more good habits. George Mills, why don't you tell your correct age? We know for sure that you are at least forty-five. Robert Newton, you may be a lion among men, but you are sure- ly a lamb among women. Sarah Oatts, we know you are almost married, but there's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip. Bula Potter, tell usp Why did you get married before school was out? That was awful. Hazel Owens, you are too old-maidish. Forget him: you are yet young. Hettie Sears, you are too meek. You look as if you would blush yourself to death if someone spoke to you. Fae Vaught, at first I thought you were bashful, but now I think you are stubborn. Howard Huff, you are good looking, but you certainly know it. Don't be so proud of that auburn hair. Helen Weddle, you are too much of a coquette. Those sparkling, black eyes won't get grades, though. Hocks Tucker, you have two serious faults: your high temper and your ability to get by. A big Hman should not be entirely faultless, though. Erma Vitateau, you are entirely too interested in Georgetown. Confine your attention to Somerset. Charity begins at home, you know. There are seven people in the Senior Class whom Icannot knock. Mary Hopper, Dessie Cundiff, Dahlia Bullock, Lois Corder, Lillian Denney, and Katherine Warren, Imight say that you are too near perfect to be knocked: but instead, I'll say that you don't do enough to get knocked. And the other one-well, you don't suppose I'd say anything against myself, do you? '.X..f ' V-X f 'TJ IIE-J lil! :sz A By Bertie Porch Ingram xl .

It merely writes what is destined to be, whether it be good or bad, happy or sad. So as I expound what I have learned from the Book of Fate, it is my earnest desire that no blame of this prophecy be placed upon my inno- cent self. I can only read what Fate has written: and in the words of the prophet, As it is written, so be it . Dorothy Inman, the Talented, is to become a far famed dancer, more famous, perhaps, because of her dancing partner, who is de- stined to be none other than Hocks Tucker. Paul Cundiff of the high ambitions, finally settles down to the position of the editor of a small country newspaper, namely, the Somerset Journal. ' ' Marie Coleman, who now entertains such high hopes of making her way in the musical world, will content herself by merely singing lullabies. Sam Kennedy and Clifford Day will enter vaudeville where they will receive pay for their amusing jokes and wise cracks . Helen Weddle is destined to make a hit in Hollywood with her wicked eyes and vampish ways. Hazel Owens, Irene Meece, Hazel Farmer, Lena Sears, and Erma Vitateau, as their diamond rings now indicate, will enter the ranks of the scrappily married. Luther Tibbals, who you would think would be a prize fighter judging by his pugnacious nature is, like his father, to follow the more safe profession of a doctor. Katharine Sitton will soon grow tired of the fickleness of men and settle down to enjoy life with a cat and a canary to keep her company. Mary Evelyn Allen will cause much surprise when she joins the Salvation Army so that she may continue to uplift down-trodden humanity. The teaching profession is to claim Evelyn McMullen, Mary Hopper, Dessie Cundiff, and Fae Vaught. Lillian Denney is fated to become the blushing bride of Kenneth Dye on Friday 13, 1933. Margaret Monroe will find her way into New York's 400, and her engagement to the Prince of Wales will turn the eyes of the world upon her. fl .T Qxzxil13if lnl'::::i:tKxIkiii lf Z Z Z 222 3 2'i7iil: ----JG 12 2 Li 2 l A 4 Y L A 11 I aunt: 111 , X flVl lD'lH fl IVQQQQY 12' Gladys Moore will acquire a position in an exclusive modiste shoppe. Since plump figures are soon to be the rage, she will make a priceless mannequin. The industrious Millie Fulcher will be able to fill competently the position which is to be left vacant in the cookery department in S. H. S. Charles Gibson and Edward Denton will be very unsuccessful farmers. H Bula Potter will continue to sail placidly on the calm sea of matrimony. Everett Tomlinson, partly because of his imposing stature and commanding voice, will make a name for himself in the world of oratory. A famous circus is to discover George Mills and exhibit him as the World's Laziest Man . Ferne Gooch will remain at home a few years until she gains age and dignity enough to enter the conservatory. Howard Huff and Robert Newton, whose curls have long been a cause of great envy among their classmates, will utilize this art of theirs and become proprietors of an expensive beauty shoppe. Carrie Dick, as her dignity would warrant, is destined to become the matron in a select school for girls. Marjorie Reams will spend her life searching for some means by which she might acquire a little height. Mildred Godby will become proprietress of a fashionable dress- making establishment on Fifth Avenue. Sarah Oatts will acquire a joint interest in the Kenwick Hotel Taxi Co. Hettie Sears of the quiet and demure ways is to be wooed and won by a dashing hero, who is soon to enter her life. Lillian Collier will eventually realize her desire to become a nurse. Edith Denton will journey to Richmond only to develop a very serious love complex. Cecilia Smith will have a tempestuous career as an actress. Ray McKinney will finally reach the place where he can sell peanuts, popcorn, and California fruits without fear of being called a swindler. Lois Corder will marry a prize fighter so she can have all the fights she wants to without fear of injury to either party concerned. Hattie Johnson, who displayed such a love for chemistry while a Senior in High School, is to return to S. H. S. as a teacher of science.

MooRE-President PAUL A. CUNDIFF-Vice-President JEAN GIEBS-MSecretary R. E. GATTEN-Coach The Somerset High School Debate Club, since its organization several years ago, has become one of the most important Working units of the school activities. The Work of the club offers the ad- vantage of both curricular and extra-curricular activities, stimulates logical thinking, develops intellectual capacities, and offers opportu- nity for self expression of individual thought. This organization produced a team this year composed of James Rayborn Moore, Hattie Johnson and Paul Cundiff with Ferne Gooch as alternate. Six debates were engaged in this year, five of which were victories for Somerset. By virtue of record, Somerset High School had the honor of representing the fourteenth district in the state contest held at Lexington. ff' fxiiv .X ' ,,.-. 111 S22 I 1 S-..- v ii v n vrr a al 4: --.

Its purpose is to aid members in gaining a wider knowledge of art and to encourage art activities in the school. Since its organization, Sohiscargu has more than fulfilled its re- quirements, always doing things better than was expected, and al- ways happy and willing to do them. Sohiscargu decorates for football and basketball banquets, plays, and commencement exercises. Some of Sohiscargu's best work may be seen in the 1928 Home- spun. All book fronts are linoleum blocks, cut and designed by club members. Fern's and Gus's zinc etchings also set the annual off. The biggest social event of the year for Sohiscargu was their ban- quet in honor of the new members: Ralph Denton, who was elected because of his ability as a cartoonist and T. J. Weddle for his accu- rate work in mechanical drawing. fin-is --X l ,L 1 1 v 4-ri r n vi: an 2 I ll I I A111 1 1 - 1- ' 1 3 l Q 4 Z - 7.14 I 'TIIHI '1kI - ' ' I A31 E A 'xt 1: 4 5 Vl 5 draw, mann: 311 L - Dil I D 'Z U H1111 1 2.

Although it is one of the youngest clubs, it has already be come an integral part of the school. The club was reorganized this year with fourteen old members. Membership in the club is limited to twenty-five persons. Members are selected by the club on the basis of their accomplishment in their scientific studies, and election to membership is competitive. Twelve new members were initiated this year. One of the most enjoyable social affairs of the year was the par ty given by the club in honor of the new members. The initiation was held at that time. Meetings are held every two weeks. Programs are based on interesting scientific facts. Each member takes part in the pro gram several times during the year. The club has had an extraordinarily successful year, and it has fulfilled its purpose. . mf Iii-if' -XX IZE-J lflll !!lEI 5-ssl l Vl4lD'ZH 73.
