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!

“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 happy heart that no philosophy can lift” DORIS ELLEN WALKER “Dor” The other member of the twins is none other than smiling “Dor.” She is a well liked mem¬ ber of the class because of her sincerity and constancy to purpose. Although she is uncer¬ tain regarding her own philosophy we know that she possesses a very happy spirit and should gain a fair share of happines in the fut¬ ure. She has concentrated on the commercial studies and we know the silver lining will brighten any venture she undertakes. “Full many a rose is born to blush unseen” DOROTHY ETTA WALKER “Dot” “Dot” of the famous twins is the quieter of the two. She is frequently seen with Vivianne Trudeau, who has been her pal. “Dot” is a commercial student and is invaluable when it c omes to work. She is very willing and cooper¬ ative and the school has received much from her help. Whatever her plans for the future, she is sure to produce good work, because it has become a habit with “Dot.” Good luck, comrade, and the best of everything to you. “A man is known by the character of his conversation” FRED F. WOLSTENCROFT “Freddie” “Freddie” was captain and forward on our 1938 basketball team and was a big factor in winning the “Narry” Championship. He was also active in football and baseball. Formerly a quiet, moody type, Fred has changed his character marvelously and is now a popular member of every group. His happy personality should carry him far and we are confident that we shall hear from Fred in later years.
