BASEBALL Somerset High School is working hard to retain its honors in baseball and at the present time this team, under its new coach Mr. Thomas F. Eagan, Jr., is among the leaders in the Narragansett Interscholastic League. In order to have a championship team, each player must be depend¬ able and able to do his utmost at any time. His physical and mental condition must be excellent. At all times must he play fairly, remember that he is an important cog in the machine, and not the entire machine, able to work with his fellow players, courteous and alert, and obeying all the rules and regulations. Our class is represented in the baseball team by: NAMES OF PLAYERS MITCHELL SENUICK—captain FRANCIS SHERMAN—manager EDWARD LACERDA FRED WOLSTENCROFT ROBERT TURCOTTE RUSSELL BABBITT SCHEDULE FOR 1938 May 17—Prevost at Somerset May 20—Somerset at Dighton May 24—Plainville at Somerset May 27—Westport at Somerset May 31—Somerset at Case June 3—Somerset at Prevost June 7—Dighton at Somerset June 10—Somerset at Plainville June 14—Somerset at Westport June 17—Case at Somerset SOMERSET HIGH NEWS Following a precedent of several years’ standing, the Somerset High School News has been printed weekly in the Spectator during 1937-1938, through the courtesy of the Spectator staff. During the year the SHN news board has endeavored to arouse a genuine interest in their school paper among the pupils. A question¬ naire filled out by them indicated conclusively the kind of news desired, and the staff has tried to compose their material accordingly. At all times we have tried to co-operate with the various school organizations as the official voice of Somerset High School. The installation of a news box in the library has encouraged the contribution of small items and, the staff believes, has gradually built up a feeling of participation in the news of the school. MJiss Constance M. Doran has filled the post of faculty adviser, and the news staff has been composed of the following students: Editor-in-Chief .AGNES FAIRCLOUGH Associate Editor .RITA DELANEY Sports Editor .MERRILL B. GARDNER Junior Reporters .PHYLLIS HOOD ROSALINA BRANCO Sophomore Reporters .MARIE EAGAN DOROTHY FRANCIS ROGER SHERMAN

GIRL’S GLEE CLUB The Glee Club of 1938 marks the founding of the first music club of the Somerset High School. In all its glory and splendor, this music group, consisting of thirty- two girls from all classes, proved to be one of the most picturesque and active clubs of the school curriculum. Clad in royal blue collegiate gowns and trim white collars, they dis¬ played charm and beauty which was as pleasing to the eye as their singing was to the ear. Miss Ruth B. Eddy was the capable music director, who organized the group. The officers were Joan N. Bilodeau, President; Eileen Nolan, Secretary; and Margaret Asmar, Treasurer. Their performances were numerous, expressing various fee’ings of emotion, mood and rhythm. The first appearance was at the Christmas assembly in the school auditorium. Followed by this they entertained at the Superintendent’s Convention, the Women’s Club Federation Day, at Rev. Thomas Doherty’s Farewell Reception and the Parent Teacher’s Association. The compliments extended to the girls, by talented critics, gave them encouragement and made them feel proud, for their first attempt for a musical career was a great success.

THE FOUR-H CLUB With the occupancy of our new high school building last fall came a decidedly new revised school curriculum. New opportunities were made available to students at this time by the formation of various clubs and activities. Realizing this factor, Miss Agnes Hornby supervisor of Household Arts secured Miss Stewart, the assistant Extension Agent of Bristol County Four H Clubs, to discuss the possibilities of such organization of a 4-H Club at Somerset High School. Interest in this movement increased so steadily that soon the group had been established and was working diligently on subjects that inter¬ ested them. Officers elected to serve for the 1937-1938 year term were: President—MARY ELIZABETH HAYDEN Secretary—GRACE JAMES Treasurer—VIVIANNE TRUDEAU At different intervals throughout the year, Miss Stewart has visited the school and reported she was well pleased with the work of the Four H Club in the Somerset High School. It is hoped that the club may grow in future years and have increasing successful ventures. The members of the Senior Class active in the Four H Club are: MARY HAYDEN—President BEATRICE ARBOUR ALICE DePONTE LOIS DAVIS JEANNE ROY VICTORY PARENT MARGUERITE STEVENS VIVIANNE TRUDEAU CAMERA CLUB This year with the undertaking of a new high school and its many de¬ tails the formation of the anxiously awaited Camera Club was slightly delayed. However, in March, due to the enthusiasm of Mr. Spokesfield and Merrill Gardner our hopes were realized. The first step was the adaption of a constitution and by laws and with 17 charter members this worthwhile organization, went forward. The purpose of the club is to further our knowledge of photography by our mutual helpfulness. In April officers elected to serve for the ensuing year were as follows: President—MERRILL GARDNER Vice-President—ROGER W. HOOD Secretary—MARY HAYDEN Treasurer—WILLIAM HAYDEN It is the aim of all that this club shall find a definite place in the activities of the school and that knowledge and pictures secured by its members may be of interest to the student body. The Seniors active in the Camera Club for 1938: KENNETH CHACE AGNES FAIRCLOUGH HAROLD KING VIVIANNE TRUDEAU HUBERT TOPLIFF STEPHEN SYPKO CLARENCE, RUBADOU VIRGINIA SIMCOCK
