“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.

“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.

“A happy heart that no philosophy can lift. ' ’ GRACE JAMES “Grade” “Grade” is a favorite in any group where her agreeableness and spontaneous laugh f er lend a happy atmosphere. Her generous good nature and willingness to help others have brought her many loyal and true friends. Grace loves to dance and sing and her happy lightheartedness has made many a,, dance more successful. She has not yet decided what her future is to be but with her talent for sewing and with her pleasant personality, we are sure she will succeed in whatever field she chooses. Wherever life’s journeys take her she will find a place in the hearts of all that come in contact with her. Good luck and lots of happiness, “Grade” ! “Good humor is the health of the Soul. ' ” KATHLEEN KILEY “Kay” Known to all as “Kay” she possesses one of the best dispositions in our whole class. Her happy heart has made her many fast friends. Kay has a sincere, wholehearted interest in sports. She has been a loyal member of the girls’ basketball team for two years, since it started, and has added much to the success of the gym classes. Kay plans to study physical education, and we hope her desire to become a gym teacher will be fulfilled and that she will have success and happiness in everything she attempts. “She is pretty to walk with, and witty to talk with, And pleasant, too, to think on.” JEANNETTE LABRECHE “Jenny” “Jenny”, the girl with the contagious laugh, came to us in her sophomore year, after spending one year away from Somerset, from Central High in Providence. Central High probably didn’t know that they were giving us a cheerleader, basketball player, and a star tumbler, or they never would have parted with her. Besides being the head of the “gym” class, Jenny is responsible for all the lovely clothes she has, for she makes most of them herself. Another thing about Jeannette, but this isn’t a secret, is that she is the “First Lady of the Class.” Jenny plans to study nursing; we know that with her sunny disposition, she will make the perfect nurse.
