“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!

“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.

She be¬ lieves that there is nothing one can do abort trouble and she helps to brighten the gloomv days with her cheerful manner. She has been a sun orter of all class activities end has been faithful in carrying out her part in ah pro¬ jects.

He has been very helpful around the school and we all appreciate his coone ative spirit when a favor or work is needed. “Mike” believes in giving quiet service and he has an excellent disposition when doing work. It is our guess that “Mike” will some day become a game warden because he is very much interest¬ ed in this type of work. Best wishes, Mike, no more pianos to move! “Bashfulness is an ornament to youth” STEPHEN DANIE,L SYPKO “Steve” “Steve” is a well known member of our class and has a reputation for being well mannered and courteous. He believes in remaining silent unless he has something to say and for this reason gives very little evidence that he is a member of a class. He is very fond of basket¬ ball and baseball and has taken part in both sports. He likes the great outdoors and would like to make a success of an outdoor job. We are sure he will succeed. “Born for success he seemed” HUBERT JORDAN TOPLIPF “Topie” When Hubert entered high school he was as timid as if he were in a big city. His ability as a leader arrived in his junior year, and in his senior year he became an excellent school lead¬ er. He is the President of the Student Associa¬ tion and has done a wonderful job of organiz¬ ing the activities during the first important year. “Topie” is very much interested in Chem¬ istry and Radio and we are sure that he will succeed because of his character and ability as a leader.
