“A sparkling smile, a pleasant voice, spreads happiness.” VELMA GIBBS Known far and wide for her dazzling smile, Velma has grown dear to the hearts of all who know her, and her happy, carefree disposition brings sunshine and laughter to those that share it. Dancing is one of her favorite pastimes and she is an ardent movie- fan. She has been a member of the Dramatic Club for two years. She is one of our jolliest, most viva¬ cious misses and her lively chatter will be missed by all. Velma is interested in becoming a hair¬ dresser and she plans to attend school in the near future. Next year, however, Velma will accompany her parents on a journey to Florida. Success and happiness always to you Velma! “He who talk much must say something.” ROBERT GRIME “Bob” or “Grimesy” Bob is well-known for his talkative nature. He played football for four years, and a letterman for three. He was also active in intramural basketball. Bob has played the clarinet in the school orchestra since he was a freshman, and also was a member of the Boys’ Glee Club. His preference for out-of- town friends has been noticeable during his four years at Somerset. Bob wants to be a welder and we know that if he sticks with it he is the type who will be one of the best. “They who know much say little.” MARGARET VERONICA HAGGERTY Quiet, reserved, Margaret has passed s’lently through her four years at Somerset High School. She has never been separated from Grace Donahue long enough to be seen alone. Margaret enjoys spending her Saturdays window-shopping. Al¬ though she has not been active in extra-curricular activities, Margaret has been prominent in the commercial department. She is able to take dicta¬ tion very rapidly. Her plans for the future are in¬ definite, but her interest in commercial subjects should take her far in that field.

“Surely the Gods gave her extra skill.” MARIE ISABEL EAGAN Ever since her entrance in high school Marie has been looked up to because of her brilliance. She is a girl who seems to know all of the answers. Although engaged in many outside activities, she has always maintained her place on the honor roll. She was a member of the Girls’ Glee Club, the Student Council, the News Staff, Round Table and various committees. In her junior year she was elected vice-president of the Student Association. This year she served as secretary of the Dramatic Club and has taken part in two plays presented by that group. She has been the outstanding violinist in the school orchestra. Her winning smile and pleasant personality have won for her many friends during her years at Somerset. She hasn’t definitely decided what career she wishes to pursue, but with her intelligence and personality she should go far in any field. “Honor lies in great works.” DOROTHY TEMPLETON FRANCIS “Dot” Of the number who have contributed much to Somerset High, Dot is one of the most outstanding. She has done well scholastically as we’l as socially. Her name has never failed to appear on the honor roll. She has been prominent in extra-curricular activities, serving as secretary of the freshman class, secretary of the Round Table in her senior year, a member of ihe Girls’ Glee Club, student councillor, vice-president of the Dramatic Club, and associate editor of the “News” and year book. At athletic games, Dot urged the boys on to success by leading the cheers. Her romance with a certain senior is the most talked-about in the class. This year she took part in “Drama Night.” Dot plans to attend Bryant College in the fall to study ac¬ counting. “In all the sense of the word—a ladg.” VIVA MARION GAUCHER “Vi” This young lady is perhaps one of the quietest and most dignified seniors. Her quiet reserve has hidden her qualities and accomplishments. Her friends, although not too numerous, are dear. She has done an excellent job as a member of the Library Association, and has always been cour¬ teous and willing to help. Of the little known of her, she is an accomplished xylophonist. Viva’s great ambition is to become a librarian and we hope that Viva has great success in the field she plans to undertake. Best wishes, Viva!

“Health is wealth.” FRED MARLAND HARGREAVES “Freddie” Although one of the little men of the class, “Freddie” has set an enviable attendance record. He has completed eleven years of school without being absent, tardy, or dismissed. He is carrying this record into its twelfth year, and plans to keep it intact. He has a very pleasant nature, and is popular among both the boys and the girls. He attends many of the social events, and is a good dancer. His marks have been satisfactory. His small size has prevented him from starring on the athletic field, but, he played freshman baseball and intramural basketball. He is a keen sports fan, and attends all athletic contests. His diligent work is certain to send him on to great heights. Best wishes for a happy future, Fred. “Pleasant and witty, he has many friends.” WILLIAM HENRY HAYDEN “Bill” Bill is a. sincere and hard-working student who has always been in the thick of excitement. He has always been an ardent follower of sports, al¬ though he has never participated in varsity ath¬ letics. Bill’s grin and humor have made him very popular, he was a Student Councillor for two years, and Student Association Treasurer in his senior year. Bill is a charter member of the Dramatic Club, and has made a hit for two years as “Buddy” in two plays. He is interested in the field of aviation. We know that he will succeed if he keeps his pleasant personality. Lots of luck, Bill! “My candle burns at both ends.” ROGER WILLIAM HOOD “Hoody” or “Rog” “Hoodv” is one of the midgets of the class and has a deep interest in photography. This hobby has brought him profits from the sale of his timely shots. “Hoody” has been a member of the Camera Club for three years, since it was founded, and has helped to direct its activities as vice president for two years. Although never on a varsity team, he is fond of sports and has played freshman baseball and intramural basketball. “Hoody’s” good-natured laugh and frendly smile are familiar to everyone at S. H. S., and he can count many classmates as his personal friends. Neatness, courtesy, and a fine sense of humor mark “Hoody” as a gentleman. At present “Hoody” plans to enter Mercersburg Acad¬ emy to prepare for Brown University. We wish you the best of everything and feel certain that what¬ ever you do will be a credit to Somerset High.
