SOMERSET HIGH SCHOOL

FOREWORD The finger of time beckons us forward, making our class only a memory. As a remembrance of the bonds that held u$ together, may we leave this yearbook as a symbol of the Class of 1939? Our book of memoirs, similar to others of its kind, is an earnest effort to weave the threads of comradeship into a cloth of memory. As a memento of life experienced at Somerset High School for four full and happy years is our aim, careful attention has been devoted to the selection and arrangement of the data in this book. In keeping with the high level we have set for our yearbook, it not only includes character sketches of the class members, with their portraits, but also items on extra-curricula activities. It contains clear explanations of the various school organizations both in writing and photographs. We have done our utmost to make our book interesting and attractive. We hope it may meet your expectations. If in later years it revives pleasant memories of happy school associations, we will feel that the appearance of this record of the Class of 1939 has been justified.

“But oh, she dances such a way!” JANE ARCHARD “Honey” Jane, one of our more sociable members, is just as much at home in a Sociology class as she is on a dance floor. Her vivacious and attractive per¬ sonality has won her many friends at Somerset. Noted for her excellent dancing and conscientious studying, she takes part in many activities. Jane, who has decided to become a nurse, enters the Union Hospital nurses’ school next fall. Good luck, to you, Jane, in your career. We know your patients will get well quickly. “Deeds not words.” MARGARET MARY ASMAR “Peggy” Our most dignified and talented young lady- artist, Margaret, is like a shining star in our midst. “Peggy” has been the class Secretary for three years and is held in highest esteem among all her acquaintances and friends. Her keen mind and xeady smile are working together always. Her scholarship is attested by her excellent marks and they indicate that she will be successful in her chosen work. She wants to be a nurse and we are sure that she will be an asset to any hospital. Sincerest wishes for happiness and success! You’ve earned it! ! “He takes the strangest liberties but never takes his leave.” ARTHUR CHARLES BELL “Art” “Art” is one of the class celebrities. With a happy and contented nature, he has followed the line of least resistance, but this year he has be¬ come a very industrious lad. “Art” was a fullback and star lineman on the football team, a guard in basketball, and captain of baseball in his senior year. He has been a member of the Student council for two years and was President of the Student Association this year. He has brightened up the atmosphere on many occasions, especially in English IV when he exchanged repartee, with the teacher. He yearns to be a drummer, for he is a devoted swing student, but we think he will find the business field an excellent place to dis¬ play his oratorical powers. The best of everything to a great boy! “No limits but the sky.” LEONARD NOLET BILODEAU “Len” Leonard has been class president for the last three years and has acted as a student councilor since the council’s formation in his freshman year. Working faithfully and dependably, he has tried to produce the best results for his class and school. Although generally quiet, he participates in many social and extra-curricula activities such as attending dances and playing saxaphone in the school orchestra. He was captain of this season’s basketball team and a regular player last year, has played baseball, and was manager of the foot¬ ball team. Planning to study for a degree in den- tistiy, Leonard hopes to enter a college next fall and work along this line. We are sure that with his sincerity and dependability to aid him, he is sure to succeed. Farewell, Len old boy, 1939 will not forget you.
