“Laugh and the world laughs with you.” MARILYN RHODA CALDER “Mary” or “Lyn” Marilyn, one of our most popular and best-liked senior girls will be remembered by all her class¬ mates as a cheerful and fun-loving person. For three years Marilyn was the secretary of her class, and in her freshman year she was a member of the Student Council, while in her senior year she be¬ came the secretary of the Girl’s Glee Club. Sports have proven to be a major event with Marilyn. She was a cheerleader in her junior and senior years, and was the star of the girls basketball team for two years. In her senior year she w r as chosen queen of the Winter Carnival. Marilyn plans to study physical education after high school, and because of her sincerity and ability in athletics, we know that she will succeed. “Silence is deep as eternity; speech is as shallow as time.” GARDNER CHACE “Chacie” “Chacie” is a very tall, modest, and qu : et boy; an ideal student in every sense of the word. He is a charter member of the Round Table, which was founded two years ago. He stands six feet one inch tall, and has, for th e past two years, played center on Somerset’s basketball squad. He has made an excellent record in the class room, and is admired by all. Occasionally, he may be found playing tennis, but most of his spare time is taken up in reading. His hobby is swing in the form of a large library of swing records which include all the top bands. Good luck, “Chacie,” we wish you well in the vocation you choose, and may you reach the success that should be yours. “And then she danced—0 Heaven her danc¬ ing!” LUELLA ELLEN CROSS “Cleo” or “Judy” Luella is one of those shy, petite girls with a daintily sweet face. She is a dancer of great ability, entertaining many gatherings with her famous “Military Toe Tap” and other striking dances. She can draw and paint exceedingly well and designs floral bouquets for her florist father. Luella not only is original but a witty and very interesting individual. She is torn between two great desires; co be an artist, or, continue on a dancing career. Which ever she chooses we know ' she is sure to succeed. Best of luck, Luella!

“Brevity is the Soul of Wit.” DORIS MAE BRIDGE “Dot” Doris, better known to all her classmates and friends as just plain “Dot”, is a cheerful and viva¬ cious miss with always a good word for everyone. During her freshman year in high school she was the secretary of her class, and was also a cheer¬ leader. In her junior and senior years she was a member of the Dramatic Club. Although Dot has not participated in many extra-curricular activities, she is an outdoor girl at heart. Dot plans to train in some hospital and become a nurse, after which she hopes to become an air hostess. We hope you will be very successful in vour future Dot, so sally forth and make the best of it. “Smiles, like the sun, brighten every objeci on which they shine.” MARY KATHERINE BUTTERWORTH “Kay” “Mary K.” Mary’s genial disposition and candid ways have acquired for her a host of life-long friends. Mary has been prominent in school activities ever since she was a freshman, dur : ng which year she was class vice-president and an active member of the school chorus. In both her freshman and sophomore years Mary K. held acting and singing parts in the school operettas. She was a member of the student council, the Dramatic Club and the Girls’ Glee Club, a’ong with displaying her athletic prowess by play¬ ing on the girl’s basketball team. This year found her vice-president of the Dramatic Club and treas¬ urer of the Girl’s Glee Club. Mary K.’s one wish for her future is to be an actress, and although her classmates will miss her vibrant smile and voice, we a ' l wish her a happy future in the dramatic world and know that her success will be inevitable. “By the work, one knows the workman.” AUDREY GRACE CADORETTE “Blondie” Audrey, a rather quiet girl, is greatly interested in Household Arts, particularly in sewing. She plans to continue in this fieid after she graduates and eventually, to become a fashion designer. Her love for sewing and designing her own clothes has given her the title of “fashion plate” in our “Who’s Who.” She has not participated in many school activities, but has always been a popular member of the class. We are sure that Audrey, in her chosen role of dress designing, will go far in making a place for herself in this field and that she will receive her share of success. Best of luck to you, Audrey.

“Diligence arid ambition mean sure success.” EDWARD DALEY “Gig” “Gig” is one of those fellows everyone can’t help but like and admire. He is the giant of the class with the best of manners. Ed is good-natured and friendly, and has always been ready to help everyone. For four years “Gig” has played football. He was always one of the hardest players and workers on the squad. He was elected captain in his senior year after being a letterman for three years, and he proved the boys’ choice a good one. He was also a member of the Student Council in his senior year. After “Gig” leaves school you can be sure he will be missed. We all know that the same manner that made him so popular in school will carry Ed to success after graduation. “Silence, like virtue, is its own reward.” VIRGINIA ALICE DAVIS “Ginnie” Virginia possesses one of the most sensitive and retiring personalities in the graduating class. And so it is that she has gained a great understanding of people. Her friends, although they are not too numerous, are dear. Studies occupy most of her time, and her classroom responses, although in¬ frequent, are intelligent. Winter sports hold a definite lure for “Ginnie” and where there is ice, she is sure to be, displaying the skill that she has mastered over the blades. Her most enjoyable hours are spent in outdoor fun and reading. Vir¬ ginia likes her commercial studies very much, but there are also many other things she likes to do; so at present “Ginnie” is undecided about what she will do after graduation. However, we all wish her loads of good luck in her future undertakings. “Good nature is one of the richest fruits of pleasantness.” CHARLOTTE ELLEN DEANE “Charlie” or “Chick” Charlotte is a pretty and agreeable g : rl. She can dance well and sews an exceptionally fine seam. She is popular with her classmates as her election in her junior year as Secretary of the Student Association has proven. Ever ready for a joke, and with a smile for everyone, Charlotte has made many friends. Along with sewing, her hobbies are swimming and boating. A member of the Library Associates since she was a sophomore, she has contributed much to its progress with her well- known cooperation and strong sense of duty. It is with deep regret that Somerset High bids farewell to this fair member of the class when she goes to Boston this year to fill a receptionist’s position in a large business office. We wish her loads of success and happiness throughout her life.
