Foreword It is with mixed feelings of triumph and regret that we of the graduating class leave Somerset High School. 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.
