“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.

“Modesty is a Virtue not often found.’ ' EVA INEZ MELLO Eva is a quiet girl who never utters a word out of turn, but when it comes to drawing, she is a ‘whiz”. During her high school years, she has been chairman of various poster committees, and in her freshman vear she had a great deal to do wi f h the painting of the stage settings for the operetta. Be¬ cause Eva has so little to say, many of her class¬ mates do not know of her personal hobbies and ac¬ complishments. She plays the piano exceptionally well, and as for her hobbies—reading, drawing, and sewing occupy most of her spare time. Eva plans to become a hairdresser, and will train at the Wil¬ fred Academy of Beauty Culture in Boston. With her inviting personality we know she will succeed. Best of luck, Eva. “He is a talker, and needs no questionng, before he speaks.” JOHN WILLIAM MONAHAN “Jack” Well known as the cosmopolite of the class, Jack’s entertaining personality has added to the prestige of the class of ’40. His interests are so diversified as to include debating and oratory, histrionics, swing music, and dancing. His loquacious nature was instrumental in gaining his membership in the Round Table, the school’s d ' scussion club. Aside from these activities, sports have played a mention- able part in his school life. Jack is a letterman in both basketball and football. His future is definite¬ ly aimed at becoming a doctor. The med ' cal pro¬ fession will gain in Jack a young man of high ethics, progressiveness, and sociability. Best wishes for success travel with you, Jack. “Onward and upward, he’s climbing still.” EVALD HUGO NILSSON Evald is one of the most studious and one of the brightest in the graduating class. He always takes news or events, whether good or bad, in a calm manner. He was a member of the Student Council for two years, treasurer of the class in his sopho¬ more year, and a charter member of the Round Table, to which he has belonged for two years. He has played the violin in the school orchestra for four years. Evald did not take much interest in athletics because of his studious nature, but he d ' d play on the freshman baseball team.
