We feel triumphant in work completed, in the whole-hearted participa¬ tion of extra curricula activities, in cooperative membership in clubs and athletic teams whcih have made our school a worthy competitor in scholastic and athletic endeavors. Regret comes in the fact that, in a sense, the comradeship and good times had during our four years at Somerset High will fade into mere memories, and that never again can we feel we are really a part of it all. So it is with this in mind that Memoirs IV has been written and edited by members of our class, to keep these intangible memories always with us. For there is a wealth of information to be found in our book. Its contents are valued not only for the character sketches and portraits of class members, which makes it a classbook; but also for the pictures and descriptions of all extra-curricula activities which allows Memoirs IV the title, yearbook. There are also interesting data and photographs of all school organizations; and of especial interest to the class its it history and prophecy. We have endeavored to make the book attractive in appear¬ ance, complete in the records of facts, amusing in its character sketches, but, most of all, invaluable to you as a memory of four eventful years spent in progressive growth through work and activities at Somerset High School. “Pick your peak and climb.” JOHN NORMAN AINSWORTH Johnny came to us as a freshman from South School and has since been a welcome member of our class. In his Sophomore year he was elected secretary of the Camera Club, and while he has not taken an active part in our sports activities he did his part as manager of our victorious football team of 1940-1941. John is quite skillful with electrical apparatus and has been a great help in setting up the lights for the class dances. He plans a career in the Army Air Corps and we wish him much happiness and success in this thrilling field. ”IIer sunny locks hang on her temples like a folden fleece.” ANNE ANGELL “Chickie” Anne, a charming, vicacious, blonde girl who entered Somerset High School this fall, came to us from the B. M. C. Durfee High School in Fall River. Her win¬ ning personality found her a place in the Girls ' Glee Club, and she was one of the eager founders of the Commercial Club. Anne is a good skipper and likes sailing very much, but cooking is her favorite hobby. Since Anne has been with us she has followed a commercial course. In the near future she hopes to become a secretary. Best of luck to you, Anne, we know that you will succeed. “ A man of leisure is a man of pains ” ROBERT ARTHUR AUCLAIR “Bob” Bob is a mirthful, carefree gentleman with dark curly hair who is fond of the company of ladies, and who shows a great decl of school spirit by his constant attendance and cooperation at school dances and games. Besides taking a conspicuous part in attendance, Bob has also participated in all intra¬ mural activit’es. Bob is fond of boxing, hockey, swimming and tennis. We will always remembei Bob’s winning of the prize waltz, and hope that he will continue to win. “Keep stepping”, Bob and win your way to success. agsgfyv “Popularity is Power.” PRISCILLA EMILY BELL “Ding Priscilla, one of the most popular girls in our class and a devoted swing student, has had a very active social life at Somerset High School. She has worked on many dance committees, and it is a known fact that wherever Friscilla is, there is usually a good time going on. Her pleasing personality has won her many friends both among her classmates and members of the school. Priscilla’s name is constantly linked with that of her friend, “Tish , for wherever you find one, the other is hkely to be there also. She was the first girl in her class to obtain her driver’s license, which she procured before reaching seventeen. In her senior year, Priscilla joined the Girls’ Glee Club, and was also initiated into the Dramatic Club. During her four years at Somerset High, Priscilla followed the course of Home Economics, which proved interesting to her, and she plans to continue thin course in a h ' gher school. Good luck, Priscilla, and may success and happiness always be yours. “She was ever fair and never proud.” JEANNETTE EVELYN BERUBE Jeannette is a happy young miss with a sunny disposition and friendly character who can be de¬ pended upon for any task or favor which is asked of her. Because of this she has acquired many friends. Jeannette is very neat and enjoys sewing as one of her hobbies. She is a member of the Commercial Club and is one of our promising commercial students. There are many opportunities in this field and with her proven ability, we know she will reach her goal with success. Good luck, Jeannette. Health is the vital principal of bliss.” MIRIAM FAY BODWELL “Mim Miriam has been with us but one year, but has become a definite part of the Senior Class. During her brief year “Mim’’ has distinguished herself by being captain of the Girls’ Varsity Basketball Team. In this sport Miriam has been remembered as “star forward’’. Her basketball ability was brought to us from Methuen High School where she was elected as .• 0 -captain of the team before she left to take up resi¬ dence in Somerset. “Mim” has been willing to lend her piano playing talent whenever asked. She has served on many dance committees and also took an active part in the Girls’ Glee Club and Dramatic Club. She was also elected vice-president of the Commercial Club. Although “Mim ' s” every other sentence is about Methuen, she is now wholeheartedly turning her heart to Somerset and plans her future in this vicinity. “He conquers who endures.” JAMES NELSON BOULAY “Jimmy” Nicknamed “Jimmy” by his school friends, James is a rather conservative and quiet lad. He is in¬ dustrious and cooperative in all his classes, especially with nis ever-ready answers in Mathematics which are always welcomed by the other members of the class. With his humorous and winning personality, Jimmy has won many friends throughout his four years at Somerset High. Although not participating in all sports, he was present at many of the games ready to give his support to the team. He is also very fond of danc ' ng, as all can see who attend the school dances. Jimmv hasn’t any specific plans after gradu¬ ation, but we know he will succeed in anything he undertakes. Good luck to you, Jimmy. “One who excels the quirks of blazoning ' pens.’ ' ELIZABETH ANNE BUTTERWORTH “Tish” “Tid” Known as “Tish” by her friends and fellow class¬ mates, Elizabeth has made many friends and is one of the most popular and active girls of the class. Having followed the College course for four years, “Tish” has taken an active part in extra-curricula activities. She has served on the Student Council and the Library Associates for three years, and during her Senior year was elected vice-president of the Dramatic Club, and was a member of the Girls’ Glee Club. After serving on the news board for two consecutive years, Tish was made editor of the S. H. S. News, and further proved her journalistic ability as editor of Memoirs IV. Her close friendship with her inseparable pal, Priscilla, has endured throughout four happy years. This fall Tish plans to enter Jackson College in Medford to further her education. We do not doubt that with all she has to offer that her success is cer¬ tain to be inevitable. “Lots of luck, Tish.” “Moderation, the noblest gift of heaven.” WALTER LYMAN CALDER “Walt” Calder is one of the little men of the class. His quiet disposition and compromising attitude have won him many friends during his four years at Somerset High School. Walter has always received good marks in his studies. Although he did not play on a school team he likes sports, especially baseball and football. He is broad-minded and always seems eager to learn. Walt seems to have an interest for anything, but it is evident he likes aviation, for he is a follower of magazines and books on that subject. Calder has not as yet decided what his life work will be, but we are sure his ambition and persistence will lead him onward to success. “Debate is Masculine.” JAMES COURCIER “Goose” “Goose” came to us from the Pottersville School as a freshman and since has been the life of every classroom. He chose the Commercial course from our curricula and has done well in his work. Jimmy is a tall, humorous, and witty fellow. He was captain of the baseball team in his senior year, starring as a pitcher. Few, if any, exceed Jim in knowledge of baseball. Besides starring in baseball as a pitcher, he has been a member of the basketball squad. Jim was a member of the Student Council acting as a boy councilor in his senior year and has participated in carrying out school projects. He is in doubt about what vocation he will choose for his future, but we know whatever he chooses it will be a wise choice and one in which he will be sure to succeed. We wish him success and happiness. “Oh, she dances in such a way.” DOROTHY ELSIE CROSS “Dot” “Dot” is an interesting and active girl. She has great talent as a dancer, and entertains many groups with her dancing. She also assists in making floral bouquets for her florist father, but hopes to make dancing her career. She is very thoughful and con¬ siderate, and succeeds in gaining many friends. Her happy disposition will account for her success in her career, and will add more links to her chain of friend¬ ship. She is always ready in planning an activity and usually succeeds in all of her plans. She is a member of the Commercial Club, and is a good student in the commercial line. In any career she may choose, we wish her all the best of luck. “His very foot has music in it.” ROGER THERON CUMMINGS “Roger” is one of the witty members in the class who makes life appear to be a joke. He is capable of provoking a laugh at any time. Roger’s hobbies are typical of high school boys; he goes in for hunting and fishing. Roger is probably best known as an accomplished musician who plays the guitar. His audiences envy him whenever he plays; either solo, or duet with his older brother. He has played in the school orchestra for three years. Roger has been carefree in his studies which have been of the Com¬ mercial type. He plans to enter a machine shop after graduation and his ambition is to become a Class A machinist. To Roger we extend our sincere wishes for a fruitful future. May his ambition be fulfilled. “Such beauty as a woman’s sparkling eye.” AGNES LOUISE DAGHIR “Ag” Agnes is one of the more sociable girls of our class whose set determination and lively spirit has tided her safely through a four year college course. During her junior year at Somerset, “Ag” was vice-president of the Student Association and has taken an active part in the Girls’ Glee Club for the entire four years. Her radiant smile and vivacious spirit have won her many friends. “Ag’s” favorite pastimes are swimming and collecting swing records. “Ag” would like to be a doctor’s technician in the future, and we are certain that her success in that field will be inevitable. “Keep smiling, Agnes !” “Hang sorrow, care will kill a cat.” ERNEST DEARNALEY Ernie is a likable fellow, and his friendly manner and witty remarks have made him known and liked by all his classmates and members of the school. He has proved himself capable of working for the benefit of the class as he always cooperated wholeheartedly with other members of the class whenever a dance or social was given. Ernie was actively engaged in sports in his high school career, for, as a freshman, he was prominent in baseball, and later he became interested in football and joined the ranks on the gridiron as center in his senior year. Ernie’s ambition is to break into the Journalistic career and be a news¬ paper man. We wish you lots of luck, Ernie. “His form was pond irons and his step was slow.” ALFRED LEE DOYLE “Moe” “Al” is the tall, blonde, well known senior who, during the latter half of his high school career, always seemed to be torn in his affections among the fairer sex. “Al”, who is likable and genial, has made many friends in his four years at Somerset High School. Since he is a jitterbug, and enjoys dancing, he very seldom missed a dance at school, and it was usually he who led the crowd into “swinging it.” “Al” did not show much interest in sports until his sophomore year, when he was on the basketball team. In his senior year, “Al” became prominent in football, for he starred at right end on the team, and did his share to win the championship for Somerset High. Taking a commercial course in high school, “Al” will probably enter the business world upon his graduation, and we wish him all the luck in the world. “Gentle in method, resolute in action.” LLOYD DURFEE “Durf” “Durf”, Somerset High’s radio man, has a jovial and pleasant personality, and is well known for his good humor. He came from Pottersville School and in the time he has been at Somerset High, he has proved to us that he has a mind which is capable of great things. Lloyd is fond of baseball, but has never starred in it because of his somewhat studious nature. Because of his interest in radio, he is a member of the Fall River Amateur Radio Club, and the American Radio Re ' ay League. Lloyd hopes to make a caree • in Radio Engineering, and has chosen Tilton, in New Hampshire, as the place where he • will continue his education. We know that “Durf” will succeed in his chosen fie ' .d of work; we wish him all the luck ho deserves. “ ’Tis well to be merry and wise.” OLIVE GERTRUDE FABER “Lol” “Lol”, the cheerful girl who came to us from the Wilbur School, is probably the most talkative young miss of our class. Her endless chatter has been heard throughout the school and has been a vital part of her high school career. Having followed the college course for four years, “Lol” served as a member of the Student Council in her freshman year and on the Year¬ book Committee in her senior year. “Lol” posesses a high degree of skill as a drum majorette, and leads a well-known local unit. In the near future we’ll see “Lol” twirling and strutting with her baton in some patriotic celebration. “Lol” intends to enter the field of nursing at the Truesdale Hospital soon. Lots of luck to you, “Lol”. “She stands elegantly upon a slippery place. ' ” CAROLYN A NN FELAG “Honey” “Honey” is a tall, slender, dark-eyed outdoor girl who has natural ability even though she finds de¬ votion to her studies quite a task. “Honey”, a promi¬ nent player of the St. Patrick’s softball team, has won high acclaim in all fields of athletics. But most of all her contentment lies on ice and in a pair of skates. Her amiability lies in her entanglement in many hilarious situations such as the recent one brought about by her affections to a certain gentleman. “Honey” is determined to become a professional skater, and intends to work in the meantime to further her plans. So glide on, “Honey”, on to success! “His form was of the manliest beauty.” EDWARD BRADLEY FRANCIS “Eddie” Eddie is one of the most popular boys at Somerset High. He came to Somerset High from the South School; has attained and has held a high scholastic standing during his four years here. Eddie became popular because of his keen wit and jovial personality. His very strong interest in athletics has made him well-known, and he has excelled in all fields of sport at Somerset High. Eddie, in his senior year, became president of the Student Association, and president of the Dramatic Club. He was also elected treasurer for the Round Table. Eddie’s ambition is to become an aviator, but has put this aside unt 1 he finishes the course he plans to take at the University of Illinois. His hobby of collecting swing records is well known to all the students at Somerset High. The class of 1941 has always been proud of Eddie, and we hope his success at college will be just as great, or greater, than the success he attained at Somerset High School. “The air is his charmer.” NORMAND GALLANT “Wings” This courageous fellow, who is always ready with a humorous remark, came to Somerset High School from Prevost High during his second year in high school. In a short time, he quickly became very popular with the other students. During his third year, Normand left Somerset High to go to Detroit, where he received flying instructions for six months at nearby Selfridge Field. When he finished his course there, he returned to Somerset as a senior. Among his many hobbies, model building is his favorite, while his favorite sport is hockey. Normand is planning to take a course in Mechanical Engineering at college and from there he is to become a member of the Naval Air Corps, for which he has a recommendation. We hope that “Wings” will be very successful in his chosen occupa¬ tion, and that sometime later when he is successful, he will remember the happy days he spent at Somerset High. “Exceeding wise, fair spoken, and persuading.” EDWARD GALUSKA “Edd : e” “Ed” Eddie’s pleasing personality and good natured laugh are familiar to everyone at Somerset High School. Eddie likes science. Since he entered S. H. S. at the beginning of his sophomore year he has taken all the science the school had to offer. He was a member of the Dramatic Club during the past year and also a member of the Round Table. Of all the sports Eddie likes tennis best. “Ed” collects stamps as a hobby and he now has an enviable collection. He hopes to go in for Radio and Television with Chemistry as a second best. His studious, energetic and efficient atti¬ tude towards his work is certain to reap great rewards. “Gentle of speech, beneficent of mind.” BETSY GEORGE “Bett” Betsy is one of the most pleasant, dignified, and quietest girls of the class. Her pleasant ways have brought her many friends, and some day, when she has reached her foal, she will give them her finest service. For four years she has followed the college course in preparation for the nursing pro¬ fession, and we are sure that with her high spirits, courage and steady reliability, she will surely find success. Betsy has been treasurer of the Science Club this year, and was a member of the Girls’ Glee Club in her junior year. Best of luck to you, Betsy, you are going to have a lot of patients. “High erected thoughts seated in his heart of courtesy.” KENNETH STEWART GRAY “Kenny” Kenny, the most outstanding member of his class, has been prominent in high school life since his freshman year. His classmates have shown their appreciation of his good work and fine personality by electing him president of his class for four years. He has also displayed his talent for leadership by captain¬ ing the football team, of which he has been a letter- man for four years, to this year’s Narry League Championship. Kenny had been a letterman in base¬ ball for four years and basketball for three years, and he also enjoys a good game of golf.

Like all other boys, “Chip” enjoys out-of-door sports such as football and boating. In his freshman year he played on the baseball team. Though many people don’t know it, “Chip” has a pleasing tenor voice and he has sung in the Boys’ Glee Club for four years. Our carefree classmate has not yet planned what he is going to do after graduation, but we wish him many more happy pleasures in his future life. “Whose little body lodg’d a mighty mind.” FLORENCE ELAINE KARNAS “Flossy” Her scholastic ability has tabbed her as the “brains” of the class, for her name has never failed to adorn the honor roll. “Flossy” is a willing worker, cheerful and confident always. Her blend of humor and common sense has developed into a vital part of the class, and no one would ever think of passing Florence without receiving her ever-ready smile and bit of witty cheerfulness. She has been a member of the school orchestra and Glee Club for three years. During her senior year she played on the Varsity Basketball Team, and was secretary of the Round Table. Her ability proved its worth and this year she was appointed as Associate Editor of the Yearbook. Her hobbies a e dancing, horseback riding, and tennis.

Her peppy and carefree nature has pulled many a senior out of the “dumps”. Aline’s cooperation and willingness to lend a helping hand give evidence of her share in steering her class through the school years. When a junior, she acted as secretary to the class and in her senior year was elected to the position of girl councilor. Aline has been a member of the Student Council for two years, and has sung with the Girls’ Glee Club for three years. She is an ardent follower of school sports, and an ever-present essential at all games. Aline’s most im¬ portant outside interest is drilling. Her beaming per¬ sonality and never-failing wit is sure to guide her through the door of success. “Blushes are the rainbow of modesty.” GLADYS HARRIET LORD “Gladdie” Gladys is a quiet, well reserved young lady who greets everyone with a pleasant smile or word. She entered our midst in her junior year, and followed the general course. She was formerly a member of Dighton High School. Her favorite sport is swimming, although she enjoys other sports. In the near future, don’t be surprised if you see a waitress with green eyes and brown hair, for that has been her ambition for a long time.

She enrolled in the commercial course and is much inter¬ ested in Home Economics. Her favorite sports are swimming, tennis, and roller skating; but we are not at all sure of having her with us this summer, as her’s is a traveling family. In fact, S. H. S. is Kathryn’s fifth high school and we are pleased to learn that she likes it here very much, although she considers it similar to the other schools she has attended. Kathryn hopes to further her education along the Home Economics course, and here’s wishing you all the luck in the world, “Cappie.” “Fearless minds climb soonest.” ROBERT NATHANIEL MAYES “Mayesy” “Bob” Bob is one of the most popular boys of the senior class, for he has the gift of being a good mixer with everyone with his ready smile and friendliness toward everybody. He has made a host of friends for himself not only in his own class, but throughout the school. “Mayesy” found little time for sports until his senior year, when he was guard on the football team and played a good game. Bob is an ardent follower of the big bands, and knows the members of practically all of them, for that really is his hobby. “Mayesy” is a very sociable fellow and has missed scarcely any of the dances at high school, appearing during his last year at all of them with the one with whom his name is often romantically linked. Bob, although his folks want him to attend college, has decided the Marines is the place for him and we know that with his personality and all he has to offer, he will go far in that field. More power to .you, “Mayesy”. l A snapper-up of unconsidered trifles.” MARY OLIVERIA “Happy” Mary is one of the talkative young ladies of our class.

CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN YEAR In early September 1937, the Class of 1940 entered the new Somerset High School, thus beginning its high school career. The first class meeting was held in the school auditorium in late September. At this time, under the direction of Mr. Thomas F. Eagan, class advisor, class officers were chosen. The first class officers were: President . KENNETH GRAY Vice President . STASIA CERKOT Secretary . JEANNETTE MASSE Treasurer . WILLIAM SHANNON The councillors were appointed this year. Those chosen were: Gertrude Chatterton, Olive Faber, Elizabeth Butterworth, Edward Francis and Howard Simmons. At the freshman reception, in October, the class of 1941 were welcomed by their teachers and upper classmen. In December, the freshman class sponsored the Christmas Dance which proved to be a financial as well as a social asset. During this year many new activities were originated. Among these were a 4-PI Club, Camera Club, Girls’ Glee Club and Library Association. The Library Associates who were appointed, at the end of the first year, from the freshman class were: Elizabeth Butterworth, Stasia Cerkot, Gertrude Chatter- ton and Jeannette Masse. Physical Educa¬ tion classes were also inaugurated this year under the supervision of Mr. William Spokes- field. Amidst a great deal of social function, this year swiftly drew to a close and the class awaited, not without anxiety, the approach of their Sophomore Year. SOPHOMORE YEAR It was with added vigor and enthusiasm that the Class of ’41 began their sophomore year. This year, Class officers were chosen by ballot. Each candidate for election took out nomination papers and sponsored campaigns. The following were elected to the offices: President . KENNTH GRAY Vice President . STASIA CERKOT Secretary ... ELIZABETH BUTTERWORTH Treasurer . WILLIAM SHANNON The councillors who acted as Class repre¬ sentatives were: Gertrude Chatterton and Edward Francis. The class officers, how¬ ever, were also members of the S.udent Council. In late October, the Sophomore Class spon¬ sored the Freshman Reception, on which occasion the freshmen were their guests. Again great interest was shown in extra curricular activity and the members of the class were kept busy maintaining a balance between scholastic and social activity. During this year, a Boys’ Glee Club, an organization in which several sophomore boys became members, was formed. About the middle of the year, because of the interest shown in dramatics by many students, Principal Austin J. O’Toole, organized a Dramatic Club. In early June, this club presented three plays in which a few sophomores were given roles. Probably one of the most important events of this year was the purchasing of a sound movie projector, which was made possible by a drive under the auspices of the S. H. S. News Board. Too quickly indeed, it seemed, this year rolled on only to find the class of ' 41 ready to accept their responsibilities as a Junior Class. JUNIOR YEAR fter looking forward anxiously to the time when the Class of ’41 would enter the junior year, it was not without a certain air of superiorly and optimism that the Class em¬ barked upon their journey as juniors. The first class meeting was held on September 18 in the auditorium at which Miss Doris J. McCarthy, class advisor, supervised the election of officers. Those chosen to lead the class during 1939-1940 were: President .. KENNETH GRAY Vice President . STASIA CERKOT Secretary . ALINE LeCOMTE Treasurer . EDWARD FFiANCIS The councillors were Elizabeth Butterworth and William Shannon. From the junior class, as is the custom, were chosen the vice-president and secretary of the Student Association. Those given the respeclive offices were Agnes L. Daghir and Jeannette Masse. The Southeastern Convention was held at Durfee High School this year. The members a tending from the junior class were: Agnes Daghir and William Shannon. This year the junior class presented the “Spring Hop’’ which proved to be an all-round success. As an added activity, the Round Table was started of which six members of the Junior Class were made members at the close of the year. The selection of class rings is an important affair in any junior’s life. After making this selection more than half of the class bought rings or class pins. Every junior lives in anticipation of their Junior Prom with its gaiety and glory. With th ; s unparalle ' el social event in its co ' orful Chrnese setting and breath-taking mus ' c, the Cass of ’41 ended their Junior Year in proba¬ bly a more successful fashion than ever be¬ fore. SENIOR YEAR With the approach of September in 1940, came the last year for the Class of 1941 at Somerset High. At the first of the year class officers were elected. Those given offices were: President . KENNETH GRAY Vice President . JEANNETTE MASSE Secretary . STASIA CERKOT Treasurer . JOHN HIGGINS Student Councillors chosen were Aline Le- Comte and James Courcier. The boys were now given a chance to hold off ice in the Student Association. The boys receiving this honor were Edward Francis, president and William Shannon, treasurer. The Southeastern Convention was held in Plymouth this year. Members of the senior class attending were Edward Francis and Wili am Shannon. This year it was decided that the Senior Class with the assistance of Mr. Eagan, should sponsor the Annual Christmas Dance. The support of the class being given aided in making this affair successful. The extra-curricular activities were now running to capacity. To these were aided a Commercial Club to wh ' ch many of the senior girls belong. In February, the Winter Carmval was pre¬ sented by the Senior Class. With its unusual decorations and the full cooperation of the class it was a very gala event. This year it was decided that the Junior- Senior Proms ' be united to facilitate gradua¬ tion preparation for the Senior Class. Again the cap and gown for graduation was considered and after a lively discussion it was found that the majority were not in favor of wearing them but that the usual custom would be continued. It is indeed an honor to be a member of the first class to complete four years within the portals of this new high school and it is with deep regret that we shall leave our old Alma Mater. As with all former senior classes, senior activity is brought to an official close with the senior banquet, and, last but not least, the spontaneous result of four years pain and pleasure, joy and sorrow, work and play— Graduation! The School “What greater or better gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct its youth.” — Cicero SCHOOL MOTTO “CARPE DIEM” SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY Victory Song (Dedicated to all men who have worn the Blue and White) The Blue and White forever Honor-honor to those who Carry on - marching on Onward to victory!

(Tune: “The Ranger’s Song”) THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council was first organized and established in 1935 when the temporary high school was housed at the Village School. The first Student Council established the by-laws and named the powers that it would have in relationship to school matters. The members of the first Student Council were selected by the faculty but succeeding councils have been chosen by their respective classes. The Student Council consists of the four class officers and two councillors from each class, one boy and one girl. The Student Council officers are elected by vote of the entire school, or Student Athletic Association. The Student Council is the advisory board of the Student Association. The main objective is to help the school and faculty in any possible way. During this year it has helped to improve the athletic field, has sent delegates to various con¬ ventions, has joined the National Council, and has helped bring certain problems to the minds of the faculty.

Hart and his loyal Library Associates is steadily increasing its usefulness to the students, faculty and friends. The past year was spent mainly on adapting reference guidance books to the in¬ dividual needs of the pupils. The reference section of the library now contains a total of 205 books and is still steadily increasing. In number of books and circulation the Somerset High School Library has made faithful progress. The total volume of books in the library at the end of April, 1941 being 1671. The room itself has also made im¬ provement for this year; a bulletin board was installed whereon important Library notices are posted from time to time. A high peak of service has been maintained to everyone through the faithful devotion and help of the Library Associates who act as librarians through the school day. The able associates are under the direction of President Stasia Cerkot and Secretary- Treasurer Jeannette Masse, and includes Gertrude Chatterton, Elizabeth Butterworth, Virginia Doyle, Theresa Curt, Mirette Mun- geon, Ruth Blanchette, Ruth Maddock, Evelyn Souza, Eunice Vestal, Adella Spanick and Ruth Powers.

THE ROUND TABLE After three successful years of activity the Round Table is becoming a recognized organi¬ zation at Somerset High School. The purpose of the Round Table is to con¬ duct a study of the nations of the world through an impartial discussion of current events and the historical background of their problems, through research. Under the guidance of Miss Doris J. Mc¬ Carthy of the faculty, each member assumes the duty of keeping an historical and con¬ temporary record of a certain nation, news of which is reported at the meetings of the club which are held once a week. The club is based on the plan of King Arthur’s Round Table and each member is designated by the name of one of King Arthur’s Knights. In addition to the business of the club, members of the Round Table have the pleasure of enjoying various social events which are held once a month througho t the year. In April the members attended a party at Providence where they visited the Rhode Island School of Design Museum. The club will bid in new members in May. The knights of the Round Table this year, all of whom are seniors, except two are: Stasia Cerkot, President ; Kenneth Gray, Vice President; Florence Karnas, Secretary; Ed¬ ward Francis, Treasurer; Gertrude Chatter- ton, Edward Galuska, and Clifford Wood.

NEWS This year’s weekly newspaper reached a higher standard when a new mimeoscope was purchased making it possible to have illus¬ trations, firmer paper written on both sides, and a complete new set of letter guides. The News has remained on the exchange list with other student newspapers in this vicinity, and is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association and the New England Interscholastic Press Association. The main events of the year were a trip by several staff members to the NEIPA con¬ ference at Boston University, in Apri’, and the annual banquet and theatre party, in May. Much of the success of the News, this year, goes to Miss Constance Doran, faculty advisor, and Elizabeth Butterworth, editor.

In February, Mr. Johnson left Somerset High School. Mr. Reginald L. Hargreaves, the newly appointed Science instructor, suc¬ ceeded him as faculty advisor to the club. Mr. Hargreaves proved himself capable and quickly adaped himself to his new duties. Now that the club is well organized, it plans an even more valuable and interesting program for next year. Othe r members of the club include: Olive Faber, Carolyn Felag, Dale Rothwell, and Wesley Gardner. THE COMMERCIAL CLUB In January of this year the Commercial Club was organized under the supervision of Vice Frincipal, Ruth B. Mason, for students participating in commercial classes.

THE CHEER LEADERS The cheering squad this year added great success to the football team. With their high spirits and sound volume, they gave a suc¬ cessful performance. The girls renewed the old rallies and added many new ones which aided the boys on to victory. Charlotte Coleman and Virginia Doyle, the head cheerleaders gave their best per¬ formances and with the help of the willing others, the squad made great progress. The girls worked hard to aid the boys, and between their spirit and volume, they certain¬ ly accomplished much. The squad had costumes of white sweaters, navy blue skirts, and navy blue knee socks. It consisted of eight girls. They made new rallies this year, tried them out, and found them to be very valuable to the team. Other motions, too, were trie I and were very much in harmony with the cheers. The squad consisted of: CHARLOTTE COLEMAN ’41 VIRGINIA DOYLE ’42 AUDREY JAMES ’43 MARY RYAN ’43 PHYLISS MACFARLANE ’43 ADELLA SPANICK ’43 EVELYN SOUZA ’43 MARGARET BOULEY ’43 THE STUDENT ASSOCIATION The officers of the Student Association who are also members of the Student Council were elected early in the school year by a general balot. Because Virginia Bridge was elected secretary of the Student Association and later le.t, an election was held later on in the year to elect a new secretary. The officers of the Student Association in 1940-’41 were: President, EDWARD FRANCIS Vice President, FLORENCE SANBORN Secretary, VIRGINIA BRIDGE Secretary, CLAIRE CHACE Treasurer, WILLIAM SHANNON Many problems and ideas were discussed and voted on at the meetings. The idea of selling tickets before a dance was experi¬ mented on by the senior class, but they found the experiment unsuccessful. At one meeting the idea of fixing the athletic field was discussed and a committee was appointed to seek the opinion of each member of the school committee. The Student Association received a letter during the school year inviting them to become a member of the National Associa¬ tion of Student Councils and after a long discussion the body joined the organization. Another topic discussed at a meeting was the idea of establishing a central radio system, but members of the student body decided that the cost was too great. Because many students did not know what was being discussed at some of the meetings, with the advice of one of the teachers the Student Association accepted the idea that the Student Council post reports on their last meeting and the topics that are to be discussed at the next meeting of the Student Association. The meetings of the Student Association throughout the year discussed many topics satisfactorily. In all, the Student Associa¬ tion proved to be valuable by admitting all members of the school to express their opinions and by making progress toward forming an ideal student government. FOOTBALL The football team of 1940, under the leader¬ ship of one of the best captains that ever led a football team for Somerset High, was awarded the plague for winning the cham¬ pionship after a decisive game with Case. Teamwork was an outstanding feature in all the victories of Somerset High. The team worked hard afternoons on the practice field and studied many new plays Coach Bill Spokesfield issued to them before the game with Case. Inspiration from a fine Coach and from Captain Ken Gray urged the boys to work diigently for a name they will never forget—Somerset High School. Assist¬ ing Coach Bill Spokesfield was Assistant Coach Ney who worked diligently teaching the boys on the line how to guard, block, and tackle. Surely we should remember men such as he who contribute to the success of a team. The Blue Raiders, the name given to Somerset High’s football team, ended the season with a game that made the opponent, Case, bow to a score of 27-6. The record of the Blue Raiders was 5 wins, 2 ties, and 1 defeat.

At the opening of the season the squad was cut to nineteen, and later fourteen men were selected to represent the school on the diamond. The 1940 team failed to capture the Narry League championship for the first time in five years. Four previous teams succeeded in bringing the honor to the Blue and Wh ' te, but the 1940 league ended in a three-way tie, including Holy Family, Case and Westport High Schools. This year the 1941 team will strive to recapture the honors. Captain James Courcier, Kenneth Gray, Edward Francis, Fred Chapin and Herbert James of the Class of 1941 are member s of the present team; 1942 is represented by Joe Suspiro, Everett Bradley, Charles Chapin, Kenneth Grimes, John Ve ' oza; 1943 has Tom Camara, “Chuck” Butterworth and Manuel Augusto; with Merton Fraser the only repre¬ sentative of the freshman class. Walter Calder, ’41, is manager and Sheldon Clarkson, ’42, is assistant manager. This year’s team is composed of s veral veterans who have received strong comoeti- tion from other hopefuls. The cand dates who did not make this year’s team w ll have a chance to play for their class teams. Any unusually good playing during these intra¬ mural games may net the player a berth on the varsity. This system gives those who did not make the varsity team another chance to make good. Somerset High School has felt the affect of the government’s mobilization of men, for it has lost from its faculty a very fine teacher and a true friend. Harry A. Johnson, who is Second Lieutenant in the Officers Reserve Corps, was assigned to Fort Benning, Georgia in February. Mr. Johnson’s education has been a very noteworthy one. After graduating from Northboro school Mr. Johnson furthered his education at Massachusetts State College. Upon his graduation, he received his Bachelor of Science Degree. Mr. Johnson received his Master of Education Degree from Boston University. He also has made an intensive study of Marine Zoology at the University of Maine Marine Laboratory. Mr. Johnson had three years teaching ex¬ perience at North Brookfield High School be¬ fore he came to Somerset last September. He has had a wide field of teaching, for he has taught General Science, Senior Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Mr. Johnson has made it a vital part of his teaching to make his classes interesting as well as in¬ structive. While at Somerset H ' gh he organized a Science Club which conducted many scientific experiments and lectures. A Liberal Arts training was not all that Mr. Johnson desired, he was very much interested in a military training. Accordingly, while at Massachusetts State College he took a four year course in the Reserve Officers Training Corps. At the end of his training he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Officers Reserve Corps. Mr. Johnson does not desire to make his military life a permanent one. He would much rather continue in the teaching field. His ambition in life is to hold an administra¬ tive office, probably a position as principal of a high school or one as Superintendent of Schools. The memory of Mr. Johnson is still vivid in the minds of all those who know him at Somerset High. Somerset High School is awaiting with eagerness the return of its fine teacher. CLASS SONG, 1941 (Tune: The Old Refrain) In four short years at Somerse-et High Swiftly our carefree days have flo-own by. Now we must take the road that enters life To a new world of happiness and strife. And in the years to come when our work’s done We’ll think of dear old Class of forty one, And see the guiding light which led us nigh: The golden dome of Somerse-et High. We’ve learned our lesson well, and now we part, With love and loyalty within our heart. From you the jewel of character endowed, And we shall do our best to make you proud. The years were short and life was warm and bright, But now our lives will not be all delight, For we must strive to climb to fame on high As we prepare, tonight, to say “good-bye”. CHORUS Farewell to Somerset, we’ll n’er forget The pleasant joys and tasks that we have met; Those golden days of school, the mem’ries sweet, Are paths to years which we go forth to meet. By Gertrude B. Chatterton Without our advertisers we should not have been able to publish this year book of 1941. We appreciate their fine cooperation and we hope they will receive the patronage of our class and its friends. Thank you, advertisers, for boosting Somerset!

Then can I grieve at grievances foregone And heavily from woe to woe tell o’er The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Which 1 new pay as if not paid before. But if the while T think on thee dear friend, All losses are restored, and sorrows end. —Shakespeare - ' f ' 1 ' . ■ ’ - :: • ■ fj k ■ VH-; . . . - ' • . . S • tr.
