“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.

“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.
