“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!

“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.

“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.
