“His heart was in his work.” CARL RUSSELL WHITNEY “Jeff” Carl is the studious, quiet type. Although he always appears to be day-dreaming he is always ready with a smile. Carl did not play on a school team; neverthe¬ less he is an ardent follower of sports, especially in the major leagues. He knows the names of most of the professional teams and their most popular players, and is always ready to supply fuel to the fire of con¬ versation when the subject is sports. Carl is in¬ dustrious and always does his work. well. He has a hobby of collecting stamps. Carl would like to acquire a civil service position, preferably as mail carrier. Good luck to you Carl. “A moral, sensible , and well-bred man.” CLIFFORD WOOD “Cliff” or “Woody” This quiet Physics expert came to Somerset High from the Village School, and while here, he has achieved a fine scholastic record. Cliff is fond of Science and has chosen, among other studies, all the sciences at Somerset High: Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Cliff’s chief interest is the mechanics of an airplane engine. He has taken correspondence courses in Theory Engine Aircraft, and hopes to get practical training in an aircraft factory. In sports, Cliff enjoys most basketball, soccer, and swimming. He has not participated in any of the school sports because he could find no time for them. Model building heads his list of hobbies and it is well-known that Cliff makes an excellent air model. Cliff belongs to only one of Somerset’s clubs and that is the Round Table, in which he is very prominent. Class Officers President . Kenneth Stewart Gray Vice President ....

She has taken House¬ hold Arts for four years, and along with skating and drawing she likes sewing as her hobbies. She has talent as a sewer and would like to become an expert seamstress in the future.
