“As large as life and twice as natural.” WESLEY ATHERTON BLEAZARD “Blimp” “Blimp” is a jovial type of boy who is constantly hustling about with a large smile upon his counte¬ nance. His disposition and good nature are gener¬ ally admired by all who know him. “Blimp” is a member of the Boys ' Glee Club, and plays the violin in the High School Orchestra. He is an admirer of all sports, and can usually be found in the vicinity of the Physical Education Depart¬ ment. He would like to become a mechanical en¬ gineer. We wish you luck, Wesley, and hope you will have a successful career. “The star of the unconquered will.” PHYLLIS M. BRADSHAW “Flip” “Flip” is the talkative miss of the Senior class. For three years she has led the loyal rooters of Somerset High School in their cheers. She loves sports and although not very active in social ac¬ tivities, spent much time tr ailing her cheer leaders to the perfection which they attained at football games and assemblies. Phyllis is also an excellent artist and enjoys sketching her class¬ mates and teachers, sometimes catching them in very undignified poses. We feel sure that Flip’s enthusiasm and energy will help to make her a successful physical education instructor, if not, someday we may find her the proprietor of an art shop. “With shining gifts that took all eyes.” ROSALINA BRANCO “Rosie” “Rosie” is a very small, modest, quiet, and de¬ mure girl, lull of vitality and kindness. She is an ideal student in every sense of the word. Willing¬ ly this brown eyed and light brown haired class¬ mate has put all her abundant powers to work to help the school in every possible way, by taking over the editorship of the “S. H. News,” and the difficult task of being the edi tor of our Year Book. She is a Library Associate and a former member of the Student Council. Always excelling in com¬ mercial studies she has chosen the role of a book¬ keeper for a career so we send her on her way with best wishes for success. Good luck, Rosa- lina, Somerset High School will not forget you. “A tall man, sun-crowned.” MARSHALL BRISBON “Whitey” “Whitey” is called that because he has blond hair that bleaches out in the summer. He is well liked in school and has many diversified interests. He played football for four years and was co-cap¬ tain of the team in his senior year. In his junior year of football he completed the famous Lacerda to Brisbon forward passing combination, which wrecked opposing teams. Marshall enjoys good music and has made a hobby of seeing the big bands and getting autographs. He is also a candid camera fan. He plays trumpet in the school orchestra but instead of being a musician he wants to be a baker, at which he is very good. Don’t forget us “Whitey.” When you open your shop we’ll be looking for a handout.

“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.

“Waste not time in words.” GEORGE ALOYSIUS CHASE “Chasie” “Chasie” is one of the quietest members of the class because his presence in the class is hardly noticed. Nevertheless he always gives a good ac¬ count of himself when called upon. He has tried to hide himself under the proverbial bushel but we know he is capable and efficient in every thing that he does. “Chasie” is a gentleman who knows his place, is courteous to all, and can be relied upon. He seems to enjoy peace and quiet. Per¬ haps he will become a capable businessman or an investigator of some sort. In whatever field he may select we wish him much success. “Her voice was ever soft, gentle and sweet.” JOANNE BARBARA CHACE “Jo” Joanne is one of our tall, dark-haired, dark-eyed seniors, hailing from Rhode Island, bringing with her a vast amount of character and personality. She has become one of our best shorthand writers, and she should go far in the secretarial field. We have grown to like her for her frankness and straight-to-the-point attitude. We wish her much luck in the vocation she chooses, and we are sure that she will be very successful. ‘‘Wisdom of many and wit of one.” AARON GURNARD CUMMINGS “Spike” Aaron is one of the wittiest members of the class. Although not active in athletics, he has a yearning for the outdoors. His favorite sports are hu.iting and fishing, and in the past years has done some taxidermy. Aaron is quite a musician, and plays the Spanish guitar in the swing orches¬ tra called the Syncopators. Boating and swim¬ ming are two of his hobbies in which he takes great delight. He is a very good poster artist, and has been kept busy since he entered high school with all poster assignments. We have appreciated your pleasant ways, Aaron, and we are sure that you will get ahead in this world. To the stars with music! “Without music life is a mistake.” ANNA RITA CURT “Limpy” Ann is one of the talkative young ladies of the Senior Class, nicknamed “Limpy.” She has gained popularity because of her willingness to cooperate, and her cheerful winning smile. She is the nimble ooteJ songstiess who hums gaily while hastening about helping teachers and classmates. Ann has been a Library Associate for two years and al¬ though she is undecided as to her future career, we wish the best of luck to our happy songbird.
