“The mildest maimers, the gentlest heart” MARGUERITE MAE STEVENS “Rita” “Rita” has a smile for everyone. 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. We shall miss her when she enters the convent, but she has chosen a noble mission and to her we wish much happiness and serv¬ ice in her chosen work. “Work is the father of fame” MICHAEL SYPKO, JR. “Mike” “Mike” is the giant of the class, being known for his great strength and herculean feats. 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.

“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!

Serene of mind, cheerful of heart, pleasant withal” V1VIANNE PAULETTE TRUDEAU “Trud ' e” ‘‘Trudie is our Shorthand expert and though she is a bit of an introvert she has a sparkling sense of humor, which is evident on many oc¬ casions. She is very popular with everyone be¬ cause of her nice ways and because she is al¬ ways so willing to help in every possible way. She has surprised her friends and classmates by her excellent orations and is walking proof of the fact that good things do come in small packages.” She has been a constant supporter of school projects and next year she will be missed. Good luck to you, Trudie,” you will not be forgotten. “A lovely lady, garmented in light” PAULINlEi ANNE TURCOTTE Paula” Paula” came to us from Fall River and we are certainly glad that she entered our class. She has been a fine student, a. willing worker, and as assistant editor of Memoirs she dis¬ played her well known English ability. “Paula” gained real recognition early in the year when she won the medal for writing the best Consti¬ tution essay. Her English work has been sup¬ erior and she is well liked for her winning smile and lovely disposition. We wish her good fortune, and success, and we are sure she will have both. The way of transgressors is hard” ROBERT JONES TURCOTTE Turk” “Turk” entered Somerset from Fall River in h ' s jun ' or year and is still trying to find him¬ self. Not a studious type, but with a keen mind he has proven himself a worthy exponent of the art of oratory, as he often argued himself out of, or into situations. Bob played football and baseball. The Class Wit, his smile, from the heighth of six feet two is very captivating. Eob is interested in forestry and we wish him the best of luck. He has many fine qualities but he has not fully developed them yet. Practice is the best of all instructors” EDWARD E. VERNON Ed Our class treasurer is a very quiet sort of fellow. Sometimes we wonder if he dreams too much or whether he is planning new object¬ ives in his thoughts. At any rate his thoughts seem very serious, but maybe it is because the class members have been slow with their obli¬ gations. Ed” would like to be a newspaper re¬ porter and cover court news so we may see him in action some day in the future. The class appreciates his efforts and we wish him luck!
