Foreword This year, the Town of Somerset will celebrate the 150th anniversary of its founding. There is no better exemplification of the progress of the town during that century and a half, than the new Somerset High School, and the work the school and its faculty are doing to educate the youth of Somerset. The Class of 1940 is the largest ever to graduate from high school in Somerset. It seems correct to assume that with a larger group, this class has participated in more activities, done more to aid the school, and has more memories of four happy years than any previous class has had. As a memento of the Class of ’40’s stay at S. H. S. and as a record of the sesquicentennial year at Somerset High School may we present this third book of memoirs. In an attempt to make Memoirs III as much a yearbook as it is a classbook, we have included pictures and items of all extra curricula activities, and have formed a comprehensive history of the year 1939-40 at Somerset High. We also have included portraits and character sketches of all the members of the grad¬ uating class, the class history and prophecy, and other interest¬ ing material. Besides the improvements already mentioned, we have tried to make our memoirs an object of more value to the reader. We have improved the binding, the pictures, the paper, and the com¬ position. If, several years hence, this book revives happy memories of days spent in work and play at Somerset High School, our efforts in producing this yearbook have been a success. If Memoirs III is a book you will treasure and value, then its ap¬ pearance has been justified.
