A member of the Girl ' s Glee Club in her sophomore and junior year, and a student councillor, she has shared in the activities of the school. In her senior year she was vice-president of her class. In spite of Alice’s dignity, she is often found in the midst of a group of laughing girls. Alice’s next stopping place is Truesdale Hospital and we wish her much success as a nurse. “Great let me call him, for he conquered me.” ROGER ALBERT SHERMAN “Doc” Roger, better known as “Doc”, has been class president for four years and has been very active in the Student Council for the same period. He has been as able a leader as he has been popular. “Doc” needs no introduction as his leadership and wit have made him an outstanding member of the class. In sports he has excelled as a three let er man. “Doc” has played football for three years and was chosen all Narry League Guard. He played basketball for three years and was captain of the baseball team in his senior year. As a char¬ ter member of the Dramatic Club he appeared in several productions, and, combined with Hayden, he was our news announcer during the cafeteria periods. It will be hard for Somerset to replace “Doc”, but we wish him success in his chosen field. “From the top of his hr ad to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth.” THOMAS DONALD SHERMAN “Tom” “Tom” has been prominent in school activities during his four years at Somerset High, always trying to make someone’s life a little happier. “Tom” played on the S.
