“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 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!

“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. Among his other activities has been the office of vice president in the Round Table Club. Kenny is aiming at being a typewriter salesman, and with his personality and ability for leadership we know that he will be out¬ standing in this field. “Ye have many strings to your bow.” JOHN THOMAS HIGGINS, JR. “Jack” “Pinkie” “Pinkie”, a very witty member of the class, has figured prominently in scholastic and extra curricula activities of Somerset High School. He has been a football letterman for three years and in his senior year was named an “All Narry Guard.” John, also a letterman in basketball, was treasurer of the senior class, treasurer of the Dramatic Club, leader of the school orchestra, in which he plays a violin, and presi¬ dent of the Boys’ Glee Club. He is well known in school for his powerful bass voice which echoes throughout the school daily. John will attend Tilton Prep School to study engineering and we wish him loads of luck in his chosen field.
