“Quiet and efficient, and courtesy itself. ' ’ GEORGE LOCKHART George is a quiet, well-mannered, strong-looking boy who always seems to be happy. He has long been noted for his courtesy, which has brought h ; m respect from both the student body and faculty. George played football in his sophomore year and was football manager as a senior. Although he is quiet, don’t mistake him to be unacquainted with the girls. For quite a whi’e George has been in¬ terested in a nautical occupation and has been a member of the Sea Scouts. If George keeps the same CT ood nature and attitude after school, we know there won’t be a better sailor this side of the bounding main. “He is like a chimney, and heated hot in a moment.” JAMES LAWRENCE LYNCH “Jim” “Jim’s” attainments on the athletic field and in the classroom have been of a high nature. His pleasant nature and absent-minded antics have won him many friends. He has been a star end on the football team for three years, has competed in basketball for three years, and was captain of this year’s team, forming half of the Doyle and Lynch combination, and has played varsity baseball for three years. He is a charter member of the Dramatic Club, and has been its president for two years. He has been a member of the Student Coun¬ cil for two years, and is president of this vear’s council and the Student Association. The office of class treasurer was his in his sophomore year. He occasionally plays the violin and lately has ex¬ pressed his desire to “jitterbug.” He has athletic ambitions. Lots of luck, Jim. “Good tinmen ' is the sunshine of the soul. LILLIAN THERESA LYNCH “Lil” “Lil” has gone through her four years of high school in her quiet manner known to all. Enrolled in the commercial course, Lill ' an is considered a good student and has gained the confidence and trust of her teachers by her cooperative manner. Driving along the highwavs in her new car, affec¬ tionately named “Bluebird”, is one of “Lil’s” favo¬ rite pastimes. Although she has not participated in the intramural sports, nothing pleases her more than outdoor sports. She swims well and is a fine horsewoman. We are all certain that Lillian’s quiet smile will bring her success when she goes into her chosen field and leaves her friends at Somerset High School.

“Beauty itself doth of itself persuade the eyes of men without an orator.” MARGUERITE LABRECHE “Marg” Marguerite, like her sister, came from Providence two years ago, having formerly lived in Somerset. “Marg”, another of our popular girls, is jolly, al¬ ways smiling and always happy. Who wouldn’t be popular if one possessed as cute a face as Marg does? She enjoys skating and basketball, and like her sister, is a whiz at sports. Marg has served on many committees, but usually on dance committees. That is why dances sponsored by our cl ass have always been so successful. Although she has made no plans for next year, we are sure that she will be most successful in whatever field she chooses. “Diligence increaseth the fruit of labor.” RALPH EMERSON LEACH, JR. Ralph is one of the outstanding members of our class. In his three years at S. H. S. he has worked diligently to further the interests of the school and his class. He has been an active member of the Round Table, Dramatic Club, and orchestra. He was editor of the News for two years, and was in¬ strumental in bringing about great improvements. His editorship of Memoirs III has brought out his proven qualities of journalism. In his junior year, he managed a successful drive to purchase a sound movie projector for the school. He has attended the school socials occasionally. Ralph’s energy, per- serverance, and unusual abilities have won for him a place in the ranks of the school’s best c ; tizens, and he has consistently been one of the best students. We haven’t the slightest doubt that Ralph will become one of the prominent figures in the field of future journalism. “A lion among ladies he is a most dreadful thing.” NORMAN JOSEPH LECOMTE “Eige-da” “Eige-da”, Somerset High’s Gene Krupa, : s a well-dressed fellow who always has a car to drive. His keen wit and ever-smi’ing face have brought him many friends. He was elee ' ed class treasurer in his freshman year and brought a round of ap¬ plause and laughs with his “Thanks for the votes.” He played the violin in the school orchestra in h ' s freshman year; but he then turned to the drums. He organized the very successful “Somerset High Syncopators” in his junior year and now has an eight-piece band of his own called the “Top Hat¬ ters.” He competed in football for a year and is a charter member of the Dramatic Club. His romance wiih a certain senior girl is the most discussed in the class. He has musical ambitions. May he someday be the world’s best drummer.

“Not too happy; not too gay—she strikes a happy medium.” JULIENNE ELLEN MARSHALL “Judy” All consider “Judy” the “Glamour Girl” of the graduating class. It is she who is always first with the new styles and latest hair-do’s. The Dramatic Club elected her as its first secretary, and this year she played in the skit, Peter.” She is a charter member of the Round Table and this year she served as vice-president of that organization. She has been a willing worker with the Library Associ¬ ates and dance committees. Last year she played forward on the girls’ basketball team. Judy was one of the first girls in the class to get her driver’s license and everyone envies her for her skillful handling of a car. Julienne is admired by her class¬ mates for her poise and self-assurance. Her plans for the future are not definite but if it’s success she “I think no virtue goes with size.” LORETTA MEDEIROS “Ray” Hats off, here comes, not only our class midget, but the midget of all the classes. Loretta came to us from the Pottersville Grammar School in the year ' 36. Although she is little she has accom¬ plished great things during her four years at Som¬ erset High. “Ray” has taken physical education and one year played on the girls’ basketball team. She also worked after school in the school office, devoting much of her spare time to absence slips and what not, all for the good of the school. Lor¬ etta has followed the commercial course for four years, and we bet many of the business men will be after “Ray” to take good care of their accounts. wants, we’re sure she’ll get it. VtvL v . “She must he seen to he apprecia ' ed.” OLIVE ESTELLE MEDEIROS “Patra” Olive, small and slight, with dark hair and win¬ some eyes, is a quiet little miss.
