“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.

“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.

“A merry heart maketh a cheerful counten¬ ance ’ BARBARA LOUISE, SHERMAN “Bobbie” Barbara rates high in sportsmanship. Her clear cut stencil work is only surpassed by her clear cut and worthy ideas which prove always helpful to her classmates. Perhaps it is because she lilacs commercial work that she succeeds in these subjects. Her many friends admire her fer her initiative and capability for when there is something to be done Barbara never raises a cue. Good luck to you Barbara in whatever you decide to do. “While there is life there is hope” FRANCIS PHILIP SHERMAN “Farmer” This young man has had an interesting career in Somerset. Although buffeted about by the winds of chance he has finally arrived and we are glad to have him with us. Active in football, Francis was also manager of the baseball team in his senior year. Voted most attractive, his happy grin should carry him far. We foresee Frank as a farmer, happy in his rural surroundings with all the usual trim¬ mings which make a happy family. The secret of success is constancy of purpose” ANNA MAE SILVIA “Hank” “Hank” is interested in Commercial work and plans to continue it. She likes all kinds of sports, and is a royal rooter for all teams. One thing that bubbles over in Anna is her school spirit and she has proven herself a worthy member cf our school on many occasions. Al¬ ways helpful and willing, dependable and re- liab’e, her pleasant personality will ultimately bring her success. The honor roll needs no in¬ troduction to “Hank” and she is sure to con¬ tinue her good work wherever she goes. The school will miss you next year, Anna. Good luck to you! “They who are faithful to themselves find happiness” VIRGINIA LOUISE SIMCOCK “Ginny” Here is a young lady upon whom we have depended greatly. In addition “Ginny” has not missed a day of school in twelve years of study in Somerset! Perfect attendance for twelve years in succession is certainly a great record and we congratulate her on her wonderful spirit. As a member of the Student Council and Editor-in-Chief of the year book she has accomplished much for the welfare of her school and our class. We expect much from “Ginny” for she has the qualities of endurance and success. Good luck to the champion!
