“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.

“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.

“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.
