“Brevity is the soul of wit” DAVID BORGES MEDEIROS “Dave” A studious sort of lad who never is found where trouble starts. He has earned a fine icputat ' on by his sincerity and good manners. He usua’ly knows the answers but has always been rather timid about volunteering them. For enjoyment he turns to farming, and al¬ though he spends hours working in the fields, his studies are never neglected. Best wishes to you, Dave, and our hopes of some day seeing you as the head of a large farm. “Indeed she was a merry lass” MILDRED McMURRAY “Red” “Red,” our class midget came to us from Fall River and has been hustling with us ever since. She says that she has spent a wonderful year in Somerset and enjoyed a year that she will never forget. “Red” has a charming personahty which has brought her many close friends. She is a member of the Glee Club and took part in the operetta. Her greatest ambit¬ ion is to be a secretary and here’s hoping she makes a big success. “On with the dance, let joy be unconfined” RITA LOUISE McNULTY “Mac” Dancing feet and a big smile! That’s Rita whose jollity sorrow can never drown for very long. We best remember our happy gal as Katie in our freshman play. Rita has been a popular member of 1938, and has followed a commercial course. The best wishes to her as she blithely leaves us with her laughing eyes and happy grin. “Of a gentle nature, of a pleasant way” VICTORY BERNADETTE PARENT “Vic” “Vic” is loved by all for her good nature and her willingness to cooperate whenever work is needed. She has many talents but finds more joy in sewing than in anything else. Her hob¬ bies are fishing, collecting post cards and auto¬ graphs, many of which are valuable. Her main ambition is to go in training and become a governess. With many necessary qualities in her possession she will surely reach her goal.

“An honest man is the noblest work of God” HAROLD F. KING “Buzz” “Buzz” is the humorist of our class. Active in all affairs, he has been especially interested in photography and we nominate him for fut¬ ure service in Hollywood. He has helped great¬ ly in the organization of the Camera Club and has given much time to the development of candid camera shots. We are certain that he will persevere in the chosen field of photo¬ graphy and that we shall soon see his name with the celebrities of the screen. “We have met the enemy and they are ours” EDWARD J. LACERDA “Hot” ‘Hot.” is the champion athlete of 1938 and one of the best in the history of the school. His famed forward passes on the football field have brought the championship to Somerset on two occasions, and as a varsity pitcher in base¬ ball he has turned back his opponents with regularity. Although he would rather play ball than study, he has worked hard this year in preparation for the future. Ed has made many friends in the social and sporting fields and will probably coach some line of sport. A great athlete—Somerset will miss him on the field, but a certain neighboring school will be secretly happy. Good luck, Ed, may your fut¬ ure days be bright. “The world is a comedy to those who think” SYLVIA DELIA LAVOIE “Sylly” “Syl” is one of the cheery members of the class. Her jovial comments supply a bit of choice comedy to her friends. She is very much interested in Beauty Culture and suggests that she would like to follow this interest fur¬ ther. She is also interested in Clothing and may become a buyer in the ladies’ department of some big store. Wherever she goes she will probably enjoy her work, because she has learned to take things quietly and peacefully. “A wise son maketh a glad father” THOMAS ADAMS MATTHEWS “Tom” “Tom” is the walking encyclopedia of the class. As a dispenser of information, he has earned an enviable reputation among class¬ mates and teachers. When Mr. O’Toole says a pupil can learn no more in his class, that is a real tribute and “Tom” is one of the few who ever received this high honor. Although in¬ clined to be an introvert and seldom entering social activity, “Tom” has surprised us on sev¬ eral occasions. Wherever he goes the out¬ come will be the same—the only question will be—how high do they mark?

“A smile for each, a friend to all” MARY ROSE PERRY “Mer” Mary is one of the domestic science experts in our class. She is well known as a fine sew¬ er, a great cook and an excellent typist. You will invariably find her with her pal “Pat.” Her English IV notebook is the envy of her classmates and testifies to her dependability and industry. Her smile is contagious and “Mer” is always welcome to any gathering. “The sweetest garland to the sweetest maid” JEANNE MARIE ROY “Jean” If you think of what a young lady should be “Jean” is the example of that thought. Quiet, demure, with a pleasant dignity, she has been a prominent and popular member of our class. A member of the Student Council for two years, twice elected our class secretary, “Jean” has often served as chairman of various com¬ mittees. She has a strong desire to be of serv¬ ic e and her fine character and personality will bring her the reward of her ideals. Her pleas¬ ant disposition assures her success and we all wish her happiness in the future. “My talents run in many directions” CLARENCE E, RUBADOU, JR. “Rubber” “Rubber” is a rather conservative fellow who says little but thinks much. His talents are wie’e spread and he has played the trumpet in the school orchestra for several years. Around the school he has been of great service and it is reported he just missed the “Student Coun¬ cil Award” by the difference of a broken bag in the cafeteria. He has great faith in his tea¬ chers and it is reported that he prays for those who do not ask him for notebooks. “Rub” wants to be a sailor, but we think he will eventually be a musician. Good luck, Clarence, you have been a good scout. “Laugh and the world laughs with you” MITCHELL SENUICK “Micky” “Micky” is a happy chap. His winning smile radiates charm, influences his associates and everyone likes “Micky.” A valuable member of the football, basketball and baseball teams, our pal was elected captain of the latter squad in his senior year. His timely hitting has help¬ ed us in many a battle. We wish “Micky” the best of luck in any venture he may take for he isdeserving of praise for his various ac¬ tivities while with us. We’ll be in to see you “Micky” when you get your own store.
