We are happy to be graduating, know¬ ing that we are now at the crossroads of life, but we regret that we must leave behind the friends whose comradeship we enjoyed. All the school activities and social affairs we shared with our teachers and schoolmates will always be regarded as pleasant memories. After graduation, some will seek employment, others will enter higher institutions of learning, but wherever we go, the memories of Somerset High School will always be dear. Memoirs V has been written in an endeavor to catch the many phases of the everyday school life and to reflect them from its pages. The class history and prophecy, the reports of activities, the summary of athletics, together with the word pictures of the graduates of 1942, indicate the actual life and influences at Somerset High School. We regret that war con¬ ditions make it impossible to include more group pictures of club activities. If this little book helps any graduate to happy reflections in future years, provides any inspiration for the classes to follow, and leads any individual another step forward on the high road of gainful scholastic life or purposeful living, those who have cooperated freely in producing this book will be well repaid for their time and effort. Class of 1942 OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Girl Councilor Boy Councilor Sheldon I. Clarkson , . . Ruth Blanchette . Helen Lee . Amorin Reis . Theresa Cun . .. Kenneth Grime Fast as the rolling seasons bring The hour of fate to those we love, Each pearl that leaves the broken string Is set in Friendship’s crown above. As narrower grows the earthly chain, The circle widens in the sky; These are our treasures that remain, But those are stars that beam on high. -—Holmes. “Practice is the best of all instructors.” JAMES PACHECO AMARAL “Jimmy” has become the piano maestro at Somer¬ set High School. Coming from the South School, he enrolled in the commercial course. He has been in the orchestra for four years, first playing the piano, the bass viol, and then the trumpet. “Jimmy” is very much interested in music, having his own orchestra, and he has composed the accompaniment to several promising songs. Among “Jim’s” other interests is aeronautics, in which he, with some of his friends, is taking a special course. No matter which way you turn, “Jim”, we are sure you will be a success, so more power to you and “keep ’em flying.” “Of a gentle nat ure, of a pleasant way.” RUTH LILLIAN BLANCHETTE “Ruthie” Ruch is one member of our class who rates high in constancy. She is well-liked for her good nature and pleasing personality. “Ruthie” has been in¬ terested in Girls’ Basketball, playing in several intramural games. During her Senior year, she was president of the Library Associates, vice president of the class and a member of the Student Council. Her helpful, dependable ways have brought her ahead, for this year she was named one of the associate editors of Memoirs V. “Ruthie” hopes to continue her studies at Framingham State Teachers’ College. We are confident that “Ruthie’s” de¬ pendability will carry her far, and that she will reach success in future years. “Indeed, she was a merry lass.” EVELYN LOUISE BORDEN One of the gayest members of the Class of ’42 is Evelyn, who always greets her friends with a cheer¬ ful smile. She came to us from the Pottersville Grammar School, and during her four years she has fol’owed the commercial course. She has been an active member of the Commercial Club, and in her Senior year, was elected president of the organiza¬ tion. She has given excellent cooperation in the clerical work of the school office. She plans to enter the secretarial field, and with her excellent ability for typewriting and shorthand, we know she will not disappoint us in the future. “Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low.” IRENE A. BOUTIN Irene, a happy little lass, came to us from the Village School. She is a dependable person, always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need of help. Because of the pleasing mannerisms which she dis¬ plays, she has acquired a host of friends. She is a member of the Commercial Club and is a star typist. In the near future, Irene hopes to take a Civil Service Examination, wishing to give all her effort in helping to make America free. Good luck to you, Irene. “The secret of success is constancy of purpose ” EVERETT BAKER BRADLEY “Brad” came from the Pottersville School, and was one of the athletic members of the class. He won letters in baseball in his Sophomore, Junior and Senior years. “Brad” received a letter in basketball in his third year and was captain of the team as a Senior. He also received two letters in football. He was treasurer of his class in his Fresh¬ man and Sophomore years, president in his Junior year, and treasurer of the Student Association in his Senior year. “Brad” was a charter member of the Dramatic Club and president of that club in his Senior year. Everett followed the cohege course throughout his four years and is entering the en¬ gineering field. “The way of Transgressors is hard.” HERBERT HAROLD BRIDGE “Hector” or “Foo” “Hector’s” pleasant manner and amicable charac¬ ter have won the admiration of all his classmates. He played three years of varsity football, always plugging for the team. He also won fame as one of the builders of the prize-winning float during the Sesquicentennial. We like to think of him as an authority on the processes of woodworking and lathe operation. His recent feminine interest has been a pleasant surprise as he seemed rather shy at the beginning of his high school career. One of his distinctions was that of being an official chauffeur on the school office staff. We are certain that Uncle Sam is awaiting him for the vital war industries. Good luck to you, “Foo.” “Good humor is the health of the soul.” DOROTHY BROWN “Dot” Dorothy is that member of our class who always takes life easy, yet comes out in front. She came from the South School, where she had been a promi¬ nent member of her class. “Dot” has always offered a willing hand whenever possible during her four years in Somerset High School. She is a member of the Commercial Club, having followed the commercial curriculum. During the past year, she has been an office clerk. Although she is un¬ certain what she will do next year, whatever her choice, we know that she will not disappoint us in our hopes concerning her future. “My heart is like a singing bird.” MARGARET BUTTERWORTH “Peggy”, “Peg” or “Margot” “Peggy”, that popular young Miss, began her studies here at S. H. S. in her Senior year. With her pleasing smile, as well as her captivating voice, she captured the admiration of her classmates im¬ mediately. “Peggy” became a member of the Dramatic Club, and the Girls’ Glee Club, and in the latter part of the year was named Associate Editor of the Yearbook. Her interests are so diversified as to include swing music, dancing, and of a more serious nature, oratory. It is in this field of oratori¬ cal work that “Peggy” will continue her studies. With such skill as she already possesses, we have no doubt of her success in later years. “Uncle Sam, you can count on me.” RAUL CAMARA, JR. “Rollie” “Rollie”, in his freshman year at high school was often seen but never heard. He has been an active member of the football team and has always given fine cooperation to Coach Spokesfield. Recently he has joined the Dramatic Club and being the George Raft type he is slated for an important part on Dramatic night. “Rollie” is usually seen at most of the socials where he always has a good time. He has been a worthy member of our school and is well known for his politeness. At present, Raul is interested in the Marines. Best wishes to you, Raul, a: d we hope that some day it will be Major General Camara. We are safe with men like you. “Those who are faithful to themselves find happiness.” CLAIRE CHACE Claire’s ready smile and charming personality have helped to make her a class favorite. A grad¬ uate of the Pottersville Grammar School, Claire’b four years at Somerset High School were both active and successful. During her Senior year she was elected vice president of the Girls ' Glee Club and treasurer of the Commercial Club. Claire has followed the commercial course and hopes to secure a position as a private secretary upon graduation. With her cheerful manner you can always hear her say, “Hi, Old C-irl” when her many friends approach her. We are sure that whatever Claire does in future years, she will be successful and much in demand. We wish you all the luck in the world, “Old Girl.” “Ye have many strings to your how.” ARLENE BROWN CHATTERTON Coming to us from the South School, Arlene has followed the college course for four years. She has been an honor student, and is particularly interested in biology and chemistry. She served as a member of the Student Council in her Freshman year, and in her Senior year, became a member of the Round Table, Secretary-Treasurer of the Science Club, and was appointed one of the Associate Editors of the Yearbook. Arlene is greatly interested in muic and has taken it up as a hobby. She has played the cel’o in the school orchestra for r our years, and in her proficiency as a cellist, we see real accomolish- ment as a musician. With your ability and ambition, Arlene, we are certain that you will be successful in the line of work you choose. “A gay, serene . spirit is the source of all that is nohle and good.” EUNICE BARTOW CHATTERTON Eunice, an outstanding member of our class, came to us from the South School. Because of her pleasant personality and good humor, she has endeared herself to her classmates. Her hobbies are swimming and tennis. Having followed the college course successfullv for four years, she has also been a violinist in the schoo’ orchestra, and a charter member of the Camera Club, which later became the Science Club. Her ability to write, together with her knowledge o F English grammar, won for her the editorship of Memoirs V. Eunice plans to fulfill her life-long ambition to be a teacher by entering Bridgewater State Teachers’ College in September. “Deeds, not words, make the man.” SHELDON IRVING CLARKSON Sheldon, a fellow with an unforgettable personality, came to Somerset High from the Pottersville School. He is one of the most popular boys of the Senior class, and his cheerful manner has won him many friends. As a Freshman, he was a member of the Student Council and this year was elected president of the Senior class. Among Sheldon’s hobbies is sports. In his Tunior year he was assistant manager of the baseball team and this year has been manager. He also belonged to the Dramatic Club, and was president of the Round Table. Sheldon has followed the cohege course and is interested in becoming a radio announcer. Now, after four successful years at Somerset High, he is preparing to enter Brown. Good luck and best wishes to a studious worker. “Great things from small beginnings grow.” WILLIAM EDWARD COOGAN “Bill” or “Satchel” “Bill” is one of the wittiest members of the school, and known by ai. as the life of the class. “Bill” always enjoys a goc 1 joke, and his booming laughter is well-known to his classmates as well as being the bane of his teachers. He has been a member of the Glee Club, Dramatic Club, and has contributed his share to dance and social committees. He has played football and basketball, and is a sports enthusiast. Although he is seldom serious about school work, “Bill” wants to be a chemist, and he plans to study at Brown University. We are sure that he will reach his objective and that his quick wit will bring him success. “Take short views, hope for the best, and trust in God” EDWARD J. CRONAN “Eddie” “Eddie” came to us from the Village School. He is well-known for his remarkable record of legitimately evading classes and his good natured- ness. He has already chosen his vocation for he hopes to be an expert mechanic. In addition to his regular work, “Ed” completed a special corres¬ pondence in mechanics with an excellent rating. The dilapidated automobile upon which he labored has never started, but “Ed” vows he will have it in operation before the war is over. It seems that his career as a “grease monkey” is inevitable, so we wish him all the success in the world. “Work is the father of fame ’ GERALD HENRY ' CURT “Jerry” “Jerry,” because of his unusual wit and good humor, has been a favorite with his classmates. Having completed his Freshman year here, he spent two years at Durfee, after which he returned to Somerset as a Senior to finish his studies. He has often expressed his joy in returning to his original school. Although athletically inclined, “Jerry” has not majored in any one sport trying his best at all times and in all ways. A happy-go-lucky lad, “Jerry” has often been the emerging point of new fads or beneficial suggestions. Automobiles and their “works” are “Jerry’s” main interests and it seems that he would like to make them his life’s work. We know he will be successful. Lots of luck, “Jerry.” “A merry heart maketh a cheerful counte¬ nance. ' THERESA BEATRICE CURT “Terry” Theresa has spent four years at Somerset High School, always with a smile for everyone. She has been one .of the Library Associates, a member of the Girls’ Glee Club, and this year was elected as Girl Councilor of the Senior class. “Terry”, as she is known to her intimate friends, has shown a decided talent for piano playing. Although her future is uncertain, we are sure she will not dis¬ appoint us in the years to come. The best of luck to you, “Terry”. “And what he greatly thought, he nobly dared CHARLES EDWARD DEMERS “Charlie” or “Chuck” “Charlie” is the youngest graduate of our class. He has a pleasing personality, is good natured, and has an enviable rating with all teachers, probably due to his fine qualities. He has been a member of the football team for two years and has also starred in intramural basketball. He is an industrious fellow who spends his evenings working in a bowl¬ ing alley. Because of the present situation, he hopes to join some part of the service, and we wish him a lot of luck. ‘‘The mildest manners, the gentlest heart.” MARION ELIZABETH DOUCETTE Marion, because of her pleasing personality and pleasant smile, has made many friends at Somerset High School. During her first two years, she was enrolled in the college course, but upon entering her Junior year, she changed to the commercial course. Marion has taken part in the Camera, Dramatic, and Commercial Clubs. She has been an active member of the Library Associates, this year being elected treasurer. Among Marion’s interests is music of which she has given us a great display. She has been a member of the Girls’ Glee Club, this year being elected president, and a member of the orchestra, playing both the piano and the bass viol. Keep up the good work, Marion, and may you reach the success that should be yours. “She walks in beauty like the night of cloudless climes.” VIRGINIA CLAIRE DOYLE “Gin” or “Gini” “Gin,” one of the best looking girls of our class, has been a very active member during her four years at SHS.

In addition, she was vice president of her class m her Junior year, and a member of the Student Council. “Gin” was also interested in sports and dancing. “Gini’s” ambition has long been to enter the nursing profession, but no matter what profession may be her choice, we wish her success in whatever field she may choose to continue her life work. “No endeavor is in vain.” LOUIS COLLIN DUPERE “Louie” “Louie” is interested in mechanics and woodwork¬ ing. Somerset High School will remember him as a builder of their prize-winning battleship, the “Constitution”, during the Somerset Sesquicentennial Celebration. He is fond of sports, and has been Football Manager of the team. “Louie ' s” smile is very captivating. He has contributed much toward the Welfare of the school, being one of Mr. O’Toole’s special assistants. “Louie” is also interested in the Marines. Whether he is on land, on the sea, or in the air, we know he will come out on top. The best of luck to you, Louis, may your future always be bright. ■ “Wisdom is better than rubies. ’ WALTER STANLEY FELAG Walter is one of the industrious members of our class. He came to us from the Pottersville School and has followed the commercial course for four years. Because he is studious and always follows through whatever he has started, he is bound to succeed at Bryant College which he plans to attend next year. Walter has taken an active part in sports and has been present at most of the games. This year he was an interesting debator of the Round Table. His pleasing personality, and his willingness to help others has won him many friends. Good luck, Walter, and keep up the excellent work. “Few things are impossible to dilligence and skill.” DOROTHY GRANTHAM “Dot” “Dot” came to Somerset High School in her Junior year from Durfee High School, and we are certainly glad that she entered our class.

In her Senior year, “Dot” was an office clerk and was named as the assistant editor of the Yearbook. She has been an honor student at both Somerset and Durfee High Schools. “Dot’s” interests lie in the commercial field and we know that her work at high school has not been in vain; her sunny disposition and character will carry her to the top. “A good heart is better than all the heads in the world. KENNETH CHARLES GRIME “Kenny” “Kenny,” one of the quieter members of the class, came from the Pottersville Grammar School. He was interested in sports throughout his four years. Pie won a letter in baseball in his Junior year, and really came into his own as a Senior when he was a regular on the football, basketball, and baseball teams. As a Senior, “Kenny” was elected one of the class councilors. “Kenny” followed the com¬ mercial course, and although he has no immediate plans for the future, we certainly wish him all the luck in the world. “She was a form of life and light.” HELEN LEE Helen is the quiet member of our class. Although little is heard from Helen during school hours, she has been active in many extra-curricular activities. For four years, she has been secretary of her class. This year, Helen is the treasurer of the Girls’ Glee Club. As yet, Helen’s plans for the future are quite indefinite, but we know that she will do well the task which she sets out to accomplish. We are wishing her good luck on the bumpy road of life. “An honest man is the noblest work of God.” ARTHUR STANDLEY MARSDEN “Art” “Art” is one of the quiet, good-natured members of our class.

We wish you lots of luck, “Art.” “Deep in thought, word, and deed.” ALMA THEODORA MERRILL “Teddy” A quiet and cheerful young Miss is Alma, who came to SHS from the Pottersville Grammar School. During her four years at Somerset High School she has been a member of the Commercial Club, and for three years a faithful member of the Girls’ Glee Club.

We are sure she will have many patients who will appreciate her many fine qualities. “My talents run in many directions.” RICHARD THOMAS MOORE “Dick” “Dick came to us from the Pottersville School. He has followed the college course for four years, and has been particularly successful in mathematics and the sciences.

He has worked faithfully in the interests of the school and has given many school hours in the Visual Education department. “Dick” has also been a great debator in the Round Table. Although he does not know definitely what he will do next year, he has a decided leaning toward furthering his knowledge in aeronautics so as to enter the armed forces of the United States. Thank you for your cooperation, Dick, and good luck to you. “A man is known by the character of his conversation. ARNOLD MYCOCK “Mike” Arnold, better known to his classmates as “Mike”, is one of those individuals you like and admire. “Mike” is good-looking, good-natured, friendly, and always ready v ith a helping hand. He was the choice of the 1942 football squad for its co-captain; he also played basketball and baseball successfully. In his Senior year, he was chosen as one of the assistant managers for Memoirs V. Although “Mike’s” future does not lie in the athletic field, we feel sure that the same proficiency that made him so well-liked at Somerset High, will make his success inevitable. Best of everything to a nice boy. “Wise to resolve and patient to perform.” JAMES PATRICK O’NEIL “Jimmy,” who seems to be a quiet fellow, is really quite versatile when you know him, and can always be found where there is a crowd. His favorite hobby is photography, at which he has made quite a bit of progress. Jimmy, who has followed the general course for the last four years, has proved himself a studious lad. He i also a born conversationalist - have you ever considered salesmanship for a career, Jim? Among the teachers he is known as a per ' eat gentleman. No matter what you choose as your profession, be it photography or salesmanship, you can bank on your class to uphold you and wish you lots of success. “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.” MARGARET O’NEIL “Peggy” “Peggy” is one of the most popular and carefree girls of our class. She is very fond of sports, being most outstanding in basketball and bowling. Her cheerful smile and friendly mannerisms have made her a favorite among her friends and classmates alike. “Peggy” is an ardent admirer of the famous swing bands and has rarely missed a school dance during her four years in high school. Although she is undecided about her future, we are sure that she will succeed in the work which she chooses. “Speech is silver; silence golden.” CHARLES EMULOUS PIERCE “Charlie” “Charlie” is a quiet reserved chap who has been with us for four years after graduating from the Village School. He has gone through the general course and his teachers speak highly of him Although he never set the classroom on fire, he has moved steadily forward toward his goal. “Charlie,” with a few others from the Occupational class, took an old car and allegedly made it run, but Dupere denies this. “Charlie” plans to be in the army next year, but whatever he does, we know he’ll get along very well. We’re going to miss that grand grin. “What is life hut joyf” ARTHUR M. QUENTAL “Art” “Art” is one of the wittiest and most agreeable of his class. He is an expert gloom chaser, always ready to lend a helping hand whenever possible. “Art” graduated from the South School and came to Somerset High, ready for anvthing it might offer. Following the commercial course, he has been a bright and promising student. “Art’s” favorite sport is bowling, and he can give anybody “a run for their money.” He hasn’t decided on any particular field, but is going to try for the Marines or Air Corps. If Uncle Sam doesn’t need him, he will enter the business world. Lots of luck and success, “Art”, in arything you may do. “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” JOHN RAPOZA The above quotation seems to be the motto of this young man from the South School. If you don ' t know him, it’s time you did for he is full of fun, and as a result is popular with both his friends and his teachers. John’s passion for a great vocabulary has made him a walking dictionary, much to every¬ one’s delight. In a few cases he has coined special phrases to suit the need. It is rumored that his “retail business’’ went into bankruptcy, but he says Mr. Eagan will explain that to the incredulous. Well, keep up the good work, John, we’re interested to see what becomes of people like you—it’s usually something good. “A good reputation is better than all the money in the world.” AMORIN REIS “Pete” “Pete” is a very jovial fellow who came from the South School. He has earned a fine reputation among pupils and teachers because of his courtesy and gentle manner and is well-liked by all. “Pete’s” classmates showed their confidence in his monetary ability by electing him class treasurer in his Junior and Senior years. Miss Mason declares he is the best treasurer in recent years. “Pete” played intra¬ mural sports throughout his four years and was an aggressive player. He was treasurer of the Round Table in his last year. Amorin followed the com¬ mercial course, and we are sure he will succeed in his ambition to become operator of a small retail business. “Be glad and your friends are many.” ROBERT ROGERS “Bobby” One member of our class who was always ready to lend a helping hand is Robert Rogers. He came to us r rom the Village School and has been struggling v ith us ever since. His on’y weakness was his dis¬ like for Physical Education. “Bobby” has followed a general curriculum, but his talents in freehand drawing indicate he may enter the field of Art. fter graduation we know that we shal 1 hear from him a;_d we are sure the news will be good. “A happy heart that no philosophy can lift.” FLORENCE SANBORN “Flossy” “Flossy,” a very charming young lady, came to us from the Pottersville School. For the past two years she has followed the commercial course and has been a member of the Commercial Club. She was also a member of the Dramatic Club and served as vice- president of the Student Association during her Junior year. She is an outstanding art student, and last year she presented one of her fine paintings to the school. It can now be seen in our library. “Flossy’s” hobbies are art and music. She plans to enter the Rhode Island School of Design after graduation, and we know that she will be a great success as an artist. “A smile for each, a friend to all.” JUNE FRANCES SNYDER “Sneezy” June is one of the most athletic girls in the Senior class. She first attained recognition while still in grammar school, competing with members of other schools. Although June is the quiet type, she has been an active member of the Senior class by helping to raise the class fund. Her pleasing personality and sunny smile is well known about the school building. June hopes to obtain a position as a sales clerk in a store next year. We wish you much success in your work, June. Serene of mind, cheerful of heart, pleasant withal.” PAULINE MARIE SYLVIA “Polly” “Polly” has two talents from which to decide her future career—art and voice. As a Freshman she entered the art class and proved her ability as an artist. That same year she became a member of the Girls’ Glee Club, ar.d because of her talent for music, she has held a place in the chorus throughout her four years at SHS. In her Senior year, she was elected editor of the SHS Newspaper. “Polly” really wants to become a singer, and we know that her pleasing personality as wed as her voice will bring her ahead. We’ll be listening in, “Polly.” “In silence, I climbed to the top.” ROBERT ALLEN WORTON “Tot” “Tot” came to Somerset High from Pottersville School and has been active in athletics as well as being a top ranking student. He is noted for his personality and calmness, and always has a smile for everyone. “Tot” was a letterman in football this year, but his basketball achievements are looked on with amazement. He is president of the S. A. A. and has been an able leader. “Tot’s” hobby is sports, and from all appearances he is very interested in his hobby. Dartmouth College has already accepted “Tot,” and, if Uncle Sam doesn’t get there first, he will do his studying in the hills of New Hampshire. Best of luck to you.

FRESHMAN YEAR Seated in front of the warming firelight in a comfortable easy chair with Memoirs V open across my knees, my thoughts go back over those memorable years at Som¬ erset High School. Our class entered its portals in the early fall of 1938, filled with the anxiety and eagerness of every student starting his career as one of a high school body. Our first Freshman meeting was held in the cafeteria under the supervision of our class advisor, Mr. Eagan. The class officers were chosen as follows: President . . JAMES OLIVERIA Vice President . ROBERT WORTON Secretary . VIRGINIA BRIDGE Treasurer . EVERETT BRADLEY Girl Councilor . ARLENE B. CHATTEHON Boy Councilor . SHELDON I. CLARKSON Next of importance came the Freshman Reception, when we were officially greeted, under the auspices of the Sophomores. We were proud of that dance, it being our first. There were several clubs formed that year. The History Club, known as the Round Table, under the supervision of Miss Doris McCarthy; the Dramatic Club, with Principal Austin J. O’Toole as our advisor; the Camara Club, with Mr. George Buckle directing. Throughout the year the members of the Round Table analyzed and discussed world problems, and each member had a foreign country to study and make notebooks on. In the middle of the year, the Dramatic C.ub, with James Lynch acting as president, produced three plays, which proved very successful. For the benefit of those who wanted to learn how to dance, Mr. William Ney super¬ vised a dancing class. A touch of “swing” was added to the assemblies and socials with music by the Syncopators, a group of choice musicians from our own school orchestra. And so my first year at high school ended; I looked forward to the second with much enthusiasm. SOPHOMORE YEAR When the summer vacation had ended, we entered as Sophomores. We were proud of that title, for one year of our studious work had given it to us. The first event was the election of officers. Those elected for that year were: President . RICHARD DYER Vice President . MARGARET O’NEIL Secretary . HELEN LEE Treasurer . EVERETT BRADLEY Girl Councilor . VIRGINIA BRIDGE Boy Councilor . ROBERT WORTON Many of the organizations and clubs of the previous year improved with the enlist¬ ing of new members and new ideas. It was soon our turn to give the Freshmen a reception. Plans were made, instructions were followed out, and the dance proved successful. The S. H. S. News, a weekly publication, mimeographed by the student editor and staff, became a favorite with the students. It contained articles of both feminine and masculine interests, original cartoons and news about the school and students. I can clearly remember the amusement we had in reading those news items which the reporters had cleverly pieced together. And so, throughout the second year, we found ourselves busy with social and studious affairs. We had reached the half¬ way mark of our memorable years in high school. CLASS HISTORY JUNIOR YEAR In 1940 the Class of ’42 entered the high school once more, looking forward to a big year. At the first meeting of the year, the class elected officers. Those holding office for that year were: President . EVERETT BRADLEY Vice President . VIRGINIA DOYLE Secretary . HELEN LEE Treasurer . AMORIN REIS Girl Councilor . MARGARET O’NEIL Boy Councilor . ROBERT WORTON Following the next meeting of the class there was a Quiz Program. Four students were asked questions and if they failed to respond, the audience was at liberty to answer. Money was given to the two winning contestants and lolly pops were given to the rest. That meeting proved to be a bright spot in that year, for every in¬ dividual was able to take part in and enjoy the program. In the ear ' y part of the new year, plans for the Junior Prom and Senior Reception were discussed. It was voted upon to com¬ bine the dances, making one large dance at the end of the year. The most important event of that year, and to all Juniors, was the purchasing of class rings. Those rings stand as a symbol for industrious work at Somerset High. After voting on the type they wanted, the majority of the class purchased them. By this time the Glee C’ub was fully organized, consisting of talented boys and girls of all classes, due to Miss Eddy’s fine supervision. Other clubs and organizations were fully developed, including the Commercial Club, under the supervision of Miss Ruth B. Mason. As the last strains of music were heard from the orchestra at the Junior-Senior Reception, the doors again closed at high school for another season, promising us a giand welcome as Seniors in the fall. SENIOR YEAR Dawn broke on the day of our last year at Somerset High School, commencing another fruitful year. Our first annual meeting was held in September with the following officers elected: President. SHELDON I. CLARKSON Vice President . RUTH BLANCHETTE Treasurer . AMORIN REIS Secretary . HELEN LEE Girl Councilor . THERESA CURT Boy Councilor . KENNETH GRIME The sale of candy was our main source of making money that year, and with the fine cooperation of the students, we were indeed successful. The central sound system, which would enable all rooms to hear programs and an¬ nouncements, dialed or spoken by the controller in the main office, was discussed and voted upon. It was ruled by a majority, but the expense was too great not to have it an unanimous vote. The subject was dropped. In this year, one of our most favored and best liked teachers left Somerset High; Miss Constance Doran will always be re¬ membered by our class. A roller skating party was held by our under classmates which many of the Seniors attended. As the school year was near its end, graduation pictures were taken, write-ups and ads were written for our year book, and talk of graduation continuously was heard. Because of the war, the custom of holding the Annual Banquet in Newport was changed, and we held it in Fall River instead. Then came that night of nights—gradua¬ tion. With pleasure and joy written on our faces, but mixed with a feeling of regret, we received our dip’omas and walked proudly out to meet the problems of life and fortune. I closed my book of memories and wist¬ fully gazed into the fire, proud that Somerset High is my badge of courage, honor and wisdom. SAGA OF THE CLASS OF 1942 ■ ' SS i iKivvSE - MARGARET BUTTERWORTH In nineteen hundred and forty two, The graduating class had much to do. We were in the midst of a war that year, And all our hopes were mixed with fear. But we’ve lived a whole decade since then, And so, seated at my desk, I take my pen And see what the class of ’42 is doing; It’s taken lots of talking and much re¬ viewing. Sheldon Clarkson was president of our class that year, He’s a radio announcer now with never a fear. Our vice president was quiet, dignified Ruth Blanchette, Due to the war, she and Louis aren’t married yet! Helen Lee, our secretary, is an excellent stenog’, While treasurer Amorin Reis is a sales¬ man—doing a fine job. Evelyn Borden is still typing letters She’s in a class with all the “go-getters.” “Charlie” Pierce still has his old car, In which he has traveled near and far. June Snyder, the girl with all the jokes, Still lives at home with all of her folks. Edward Cronin is now head of the Hood Farm, With a furnished suite up in the barn. Eunice Chatterton is now a “school-marm”— Teachin_ English—and a course on “Charm.” Jerry Curt, with his father, works on cars, In which he too has traveled near and far. Pauline Sylvia, with voice sweet and mellow, Sings for Jack Benny, advertising “Jello!” “Jim” Amaral with his swingy brass band, Is one of the finest in the land. Theresa Curt, once a conscientious scholar, Is now running a beauty parlor. Harold Bridge, that craftsman so good, Can make things almost human come out of wood. “Peg” O’Neil is a “steady” girl at Newberry’s in the city. -’D She’s really very successful, and then, she’s still very pretty. Walter Felag, now a C. P. A., Is supporting a wife on extremely good pay. Arlene Chatterton, an efficient head nurse, The cares and worries of the sick does disperse. Robert Worton, an engineer to be, Will soon be famous, you watch and see. Irene Boutin, a business woman in town, Has amazing talents of world renown. Arthur Quental, calm, quiet and reserved, Received all the breaks he so justly deserved. A ' ma Merrill, our woman in white, Has cure for measles and a good snake bite. A versatile boy was Robert Ro ;ers, Now he stars for the Brooklyn Dodgers. SAGA OF THE CLASS OF 1942 mms. And of course, Florence Sanborn, now an artist, Can master anything, even the hardest. Then there’s Raul Camara, our football star, Who now squires blondes and a flashy car. Let’s visit Marion Doucette, our musical girl, Who now teaches students from all over the world. Our class “wit” “Bill” Coogan has finished Brown, He’s a chemist down in some Delaware town. ‘I’ve seen “Peg” Butterworth—quite digni¬ fied now, To radio programs she’s taken her bow. Arnold Mycock, a success of course, Of the Supreme Court is now the boss. “Gini” Doyle, our class beauty, Is nursing air-corps men as her duty! Richard Moore, a chemist, brilliant and wise, Will soon be receiving the Nobel Prize. Dorothy Brown, so fair and tall, Is going to be married at the end of this fall. Arthur Marsden, now a famous landscape gardener, Lias “Soda Jerk” James O’Neil as his partner. Dorothy Grantham is now an author fine, She now’s completing ' volume number nine! Everett Bradley, a Coast Guard Commander fine, Is helping to protect that which is yours and mine. An excellent stenographer is Claire Chace, Who is still around with a smile on her face. “Ken” Grime, though still not so tall, Is a big leaguer now, with plenty on the ball. Charles Demers, an enterprising young man, Now has his own “alleys” somewhere in Mattapan. Then comes John Rapoza, last but not least, He won money for a new, long word, and spent it on a feast! So, again we know what our classmates have done, And I’m sure that knowledge has afforded us fun. War or no war we were determined to win, And that can’t be done unless you begin With the spirit of Democratic love and the American way of life That brings happiness, glory—and on the opposite side—strife. Yes, we worked hard to win, but it was worth it we know, To be the wonderful American people and beat the foe! THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council of Somerset High School is made up of twenty-eight members. The members include all the class officers, two delegates from each class, and the Student Association officers. Association and Council officers for ’41-’42 were: President, ROBERT WORTON Vice President, MARY RYAN Secretary, MARGARET BOULAY Treasurer, EVERETT BRADLEY The council meetings were held on the Tuesday before each Association meeting; the first meeting being on October 6, 1941. Council discussions included: a Student Association dance; elimination of guest box at dances; toleration of sports wear at dances; central sound system; a mascot for the ath etic organizations, and other school problems. The four delegates attending the Conven¬ tion of the Southeastern Branch of the Student Councils of Massachusetts at Abington Hi h School wore: President Robert Worton, Secretary Margaret Boulay, Treasurer Everett Bradley, and Junior Girl Councilor Betty Thomte. SENIORS Sheldon Clarkson Ruth Blanchette Helen Lee Amorin Reis Kenneth Grime Theresa Curt JUNIORS Bradford Leonard Audrey James Adella Spanick Thomas Camara Betty Thomte Robert C.arkson SOPHOMORES Donald Parrott Barbara Talbot Virginia Durfee Francis Costa Dorothy Boulay Theodore Williamson FRESHMEN Donald Gray Dorothy Camara Am Santos Paul Daley George Auclair Ethel McFarland SCHOOL ACTIVITIES STUDENT ASSOCIATION The Student Association officers, who are also the officers of the Student Council, were elected by a general ballot early in the school year. Those chosen were: President ROBERT WORTON Vice President, MARY RYAN Secretary, MARGARET BOULAY Treasurer, EVERETT BRADLEY Club sponsored a special Christmas assem¬ bly and has assisted in other assemblies during the year. Officers of the Club for 1941-1942 are: President MARION DOUCETTE Secretary, CLAIRE CHACE Treasurer, HELEN LEE Pianist, MARION DOUCETTE and MARGUERITE McNEIL Members of the Club are: The first meeting was held on October 9, 1941 in the school auditorium. During the meetings, discussions were held on many school problems. The problem of installing a central sound system was the main issue of several meet¬ ings. Other issues ho.ding interest were sports, dances, roller skating parties, regula¬ tions of socials, abolishment of guest box at the dances, and a contest for varsity mascot. A slight increase in admission prices to school dances was accepted by the student body. The Association sent four school delegates to the Abington Convention on October 30, 1941. All in all, the accomplishments of the year were very satisfactory, and helped raise Somerset High’s standard of student govern¬ ment. It is hoped that all members of the school will take active part in all discussions for the welfare of the school. The Student Association is a democratic institution and pupils who do not give active support and effort to the democratic way of solving school problems are not aiding in the school’s effort to teach democracy. Many of the graduating class realize the im¬ portance of the Student Association and sincerely hope that the pupils of Somerset High School will continue to support its efforts.

THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB If we were not prejudiced in favor of the fall season, the glaring headline, and the sport page, we would be compelled to con¬ fess that the Boys’ Glee Club this year has taken equal rank with athletics in securing, for the school, publicity of the most favor¬ able nature. It has been a magnificent season for this organization. For the triumphs that have been accorded them and the praise they have brought to their school, this group of boys deserves the thanks of the entire student body. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES The first indication of success came when nearly fifty boys turned out for the try-outs. The Club has participated in assemblies, and has been accorded the honor of being the finest Glee Club turned out by Miss Eddy. In her work of directing the Club, Miss Eddy was fortunate in having our own gentleman-artist James Amaral, who has been pianist for four years. The officers this year are: President BRADFORD LEONARD Vice President, ALBERT OLIVER Secretary, WILLIAM COOGAN We of the class of 1942 extend our best wishes and sincerest hopes that the Glee Club will carry on, as it has just in the past, and continue to make the school proud of it. THE ORCHESTRA The orchestra, under the direction of Miss Ruth B. Eddy, has entertained both the members of the school and the public by their excellent performances. Many music assemblies have been pre¬ sented to the student body. The enjoyment of the Thanksgiving and Christmas Assem¬ blies were augmented by special features from the members of the orchestra. Dorothy Doucette presented a violin solo; the Chatterton sisters, accompanied by Miss Eddy, rendered a trio consisting of violin, cello, and piano; and Allen Bowers offered a clarinet so ' o. Other interesting presenta¬ tions were given on special occasions. An appropriate music program was worked out for Dramatic Night and Gradu¬ ation Night.

Piano—Phyllis Packard, James Amaral. THE LIBRARY ASSOCIATES This year the Somerset High School Library has continued its service to the school, and has increased its efficiency. New shelves were built by two of the school’s woodworking experts, Manuel Augusto and Augustine Botelho. The new shelves have aided the display of magazines and special exhibits. The library now owns 1964 books and this number is rapidly increasing. A new system has been introduced into our library. If a member of the school desires a book that is not on our shelves, he submits the name and author o: that book and, if it is approved by Mr. Hart and the library aides, it is added to the shelves. The members of the library are: Advisor, MR. WILLIAM A. HART SENIORS President RUTH L. BLANCHETTE Vice President, VIRGINIA DOYLE Treasurer, MARION DOUCETTE Secretary, THERESA CURT Dorothy Grantham. JUNIORS Eunice Vestal, Adeila Spanick, Evelyn Scuza, Ruth Maddock. SOPHOMORES Beatrice Golden, Constance Chace, Martha Deane, Barbara Talbot, Mary Maddock. During the past year, we have had tne SCHOOL ACTIVITIES pleasure of seeing- “The Library of the Future,’’ belonging to Mr. Clarence D. Hart, of Wellesley. This library consists of records made by famous authors and writers. The library plans to secure albums of special recordings for the use of English classes. The library associates and Mr. Hart have enjoyed a successful year and deserve the thanks of every student for their cheerful and efficient service. DRAMATIC CLUB The Somerset High School Dramatic Club was organized four years ago, and since that time, under the capable direction of Mr. Austin J. O’Toole, has progressed rapidly. At the club’s first meeting the officers were elected as follows: President EVERETT BRADLEY Vice President, AUDREY JAMES Secretary, VIRGINIA DOYLE Treasurer, WILLIAM COOGAN During the three years of play presenta¬ tion the club has delivered nine smash hits and this year’s trio appears to be the best in the club’s history. The plays, to be pre¬ sented May 15, are: “Are We Dressing,’’ Two Crooks and A Lady,” and “The Prettiest Girl in Town.” At the bi-monthly meetings of the club, lime has been spent on voice cultivation, in diction, enunciation, and poise. THE ROUND TABLE The Round Table of Somerset High School, whose purpose is the investigation and discussion of world problems, continued through its fourth successful year under the supervision of Miss Doris J. McCarthy. The officers this year are: President SHELDON I. CLARKSON Vice President, RUTH MADDOCK Secretary, THERESA VERMETTE Treasurer, AMORIN REIS The fast pace of world events kept the members of the Table alert and active. The present war issue played an important role in every discussion. The Table enjoyed a variety of socials each month which included a theatre party, b , bowling party, and the investiture cere¬ mony when each member was knighted and received his title, color, and shield. The Knights of the Round Table base their research and discussion on their motto, “TRUTH THROUGH KNOW¬ LEDGE.” The members of the Table this year are: Ruth Maddock, Theresa Vermette, Adella Spanick, Arlene B. Chatterton, Sheldon I. Clarkson, Amorin Reis, Walter Felag, and Thomas Camara. SOMERSET HIGH SCHOOL NEWS The Dramatic Club has enjoyed a success¬ ful season and is assured a prosperous and promising future. Other members of the club are: Robert Worton, Raul Camara, Sheldon Clarkson, Margaret Butterworth, Charles Butterworth, Mary Ryan, Phyllis MacFarland, Margaret Bouley, Audrey James, Rita Pouliot, Adelia Spanick, Bradford Leonard, Gwendolyn Mayes, Barbara Talbot, Ethel Bell, Claire Higgins. Francis Costa, Franklin Simmons, and Betty Thomte. The shortage of paper, due to present world difficulties, made it difficult to print the newspaper every week. In February, after a very successful six months of re¬ porting the news, it was decided that during the remainder of the year it would be printed for special occasions only. But even under adverse circumstances, the S. H. S. News has improved greatly. During the month of November, the School News lost its faculty advisor, when Mrs. Raymond B. Gallagher left Somerset SCHOOL ACTIVITIES High School. Mr. O’Toole, who has always had a great interest in the newspaper, agreed to supervise the editing for the re¬ mainder of the year. Although there were only five months of steady, weekly publications, the newspaper was very successful and owed its success to the efforts of Pauline Sylvia, editor and her reporters. Special credit is also due Harold Regan, Sports Editor, whose reporting of sporting events was a special feature of the year. NEWS STAFF Editor PAULINE SYLVIA Associate Editor, VIRGINIA DOYLE Sports Editor, HAROLD REGAN laboratory, the members gave demonstra¬ tions according to a program which was followed through the school year. Along with these demonstrations, many interesting field trips and social activities were carried out and enjoyed by all. One of the chief activities of the Club was an assembly, the theme of which was “This War and Fire”, at which several demonstra¬ tions were given on the nature, causes and precautionary measures of incendiary fires. Other members of the Club were: Doris Baker, Adeline King, Eunice B. Chatterton, Faye Crocker, Donald Leach and Mr. Francis D. McHugh, mathematics instructor. COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club, organized under the supervision of Vice Principal Ruth B. Mason, in January, 1941, reorganized in September with twenty-two members. Officers elected at the first meeting were: REPORTERS Marg. Butterworth Ruth Leach Adella Spanick Eunice Vestal Ethel Bell Dorothy Parrott TYPISTS Claire Chace Evelyn Borden Irene Boutin President EVELYN BORDEN MIME OGRAPHERS Amorin Reis Charles Demers THE SCIENCE CLUB The Somerset High School Science Club, which was organized by Mr. Elarry A. Johnson in 1940, started its second year with Mr. Ralph C. Wescott, the Science In¬ structor, as its advisor. The officers for the year were elected as follows: Vice President, ALMA HERON Secretary, EVELYN SOUZA Treasurer, CLAIRE CHACE The purposes of the Club are to widen one’s mind in the fie d of business, to develop social abilities, and to hear the experiences of prominent women who have achieved their success in the business world. Members of the Club are: RICHARD T. MOORE President Vice President, DALE ROTHWELL Sec. - Treas., ARLENE B. CHATTERTON At the weekly meetings, which were held every Wednesday after school in the SENIORS Evelyn Borden, Dorothy Grantham, Doro¬ thy Brown, Claire Chace, Irene Boutin, Florence Sanborn, Marion Doucette, and Pauline Sylvia. JUNIORS Rita Pouliot, Irene Snyder, Mary Ryan, Phyllis McFarlane, Audrey James, Rose Ganem, Florence Giza, Margaret Bouley, Evelyn Souza, Ruth Marldoek, Theresa Vermette, Marjorie Gouley, and Alma Heron. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES THE CHEERLEADERS In the fall of the year, the 1941-1942 squad of cheerleaders reorganized with the addi¬ tion of two new cheerleaders. Those chosen, after several tryouts, were Betty Thomte and Claire Higgins, both of the Junior Class. The head cheerleaders, Virginia Doyle, Margaret Bou’ey and Adella Spanick, worked faithfully with the cooperative squad in training them and developing new cheers. The cheerleaders were present at all football games and at the home games of basketball—doing their part in leading the boys to victory. Members of the squad are: VIRGINIA DOYLE ’42 MARGARET BOULEY ’43 ADELLA SPANICK ' 43 MARY RYAN ’43 AUDREY JAMES ’43 PHYLT IS MACFARLANE ’43 RITA POULIOT ’43 CLAIRE HIGGINS ’43 EVELYN SOUZA ’43 BETTY THOMTE ' 43 FOOTBALL Coach William Spokesfield faced a diffi¬ cult task in developing this year ' s football team. Many star gridders were lost through graduation and employment, and Assistant Coach William Ney, who for ma..y years coached the line play, was called into Naval Service. Thirty-five candidates answered the call for practice and settled down to three weeks of hard work. Slowly the team be ;an to take shape, but in the opening game with St. Andrews the lack of experience proved to be the deciding factor. The team was far from discouraged, and under the leadership of Co-Captains Mycock and Plonka, chalked up five victories in a row. In the traditional game with Case, the heavily-favored Cardinals were played to a standstill until late in the game by a hard fighting Blue Raider eleven, but, in the last half, the weight advantage of the Cardinals proved too much for the Raiders and Case pushed over two touchdowns for a 12-7 victory. Three Somerset players won places on the All-Narry League Team—Co-Captains Arnold Mycock and Wa ' ter Plonka at the halfback and center positions respectively, and Captain-elect Bob Clarkson at end. The season’s record is as follows: Somerset 0 St. Andrews 14 Somerset 13 Kingston 6 Somerset 13 Dighton C Somerset 45 Foxboro 18 Somerset 24 Marshfield 0 Somerset 27 Westport 6 Somerset 7 Case 12 Somerset 0 Ho’y Family 31 Somerset scored 129 points to their opponents 87. FOOTBALL PERSONAL WRITEUPS CO-CAPTAIN MYCOCK— Mike completed his .ourth year on the squad and his third on the varsity. As a Junior he was high scorer in the Narry League; he also made the Narry League Team the last two years. “Mike” was a hard running back with a long, loping stride which made him hard to bring down. He was a good kicker and an excellent passer. CO-CAPTAIN PLONKA—Walter was a real football player, rugged on defense, a tower of strength backing up the line. He was a fine blocker, a fierce tackier and he passed, ran and kicked points after touchdowns. He finished out his fourth year on the varsity this year and has been chosen center on the All-Narry League Team the past two years. RAUL CAMARA—A clean, hard tackier, he had uncanny ability in diagnosing plays on defense. He was a consistent performer and did a great job as tackle. “KEN” GRIME—End, fast and aggressive, a good pass receiver. Although playing his first year of football, he developed rapidly and won a starting berth by mid-season. His great catch of a touchdown pass in the Case game wil be remembered when foot¬ ball is mentioned. “LOB” WORTON—A guard; he was handi¬ capped in previous years by injuries; he be¬ came a mainstay in the line; as the season progressed, Bob showed great improvement in all departments of line play. HAROLD BRIDGE—A tricky, deceptive back who caused opposing teams no end of trouble on the offense. He was a great team man always in there fighting when the going was toughest. He was strong on defense and his hard sure tackling brought grief to many runners who thought they were in the clear. Will be greatly missed next year. BILL COOGAN—A much improved player and a fine utility man on the ends. Bill had the distinction of playing on the squad for four years without missing a single practice session. EVERETT BRADLEY—A strong defensive end, a great pass catcher, and a good all¬ round player. He was forced out o. combat in mid-season by a severe burn on his hand, cuffin ' 7 short a good season. WALTER FELAG—“Walt” joined the squad in the middle of the season and though lacking in experience, he was aggressive on defense and a good mark for the passers to shoot at on offense, snatching passes on all sides. CHARLES DEMERS—“Char’ie” was forced to give up football to go to work in mid¬ season, and his loss was keenly felt. He had been doing a fine job at guard; his blocking had improved immensely, and he was a good defensive player with a year of experience behind him. “BRAD” SANDERSON—A Junior who al¬ ternated at guard and tackle. He wound up a great season as a funning guard. His blocking paved the way for many sub¬ stantial gains by his mates. He was a good defensive man against passes, end runs and line plays. He was spirited and rugged and played a courageous game. “BRAD” LEONARD—“Brad” did most of the passing and kicking; an improved blocker, he fitted into the fullback slot very nicely. Valuable experience gained should make him a triple threat next year. FRANK SIMMONS—A good prospect for next year’s team. He is fast and aggressive, and should be an important cog in the 1942 squad. “MANNY” AUGUSTO—A good defensive linesman with another year of competition in which to establish a good record. GEORGE COULOMBE—With a year of substitute work behind him, we expect to see George take over a regular assignment in the fall. He is a hard worker and fast on his feet. FRANCIS COSTA—A Sophomore who had the unenviable job of filling “Ken” Gray’s shoes at quarterback. A hard fighter and a good ball carrier, he should develop into a first class signal caller after his year of experience. CAPTAIN-ELECT ROBERT CLARKSON— “Bob’s” all-around play marked him as a top-notch performer. He could snag passes with the best of them and was an intelligent and aggressive end on the defense. His election to the captaincy of next year’s eleven is a just reward for three years of sincere effort. He has made the All-Narry Team at end for the last two years. Good luck, “Bob”. “TOMMY” CAMARA—“Tom” had been working in the backfield and was capable of filling any of the backfield positions, but his ability to tackle on defense made him stand out. Coach Spokesfield lost no time in shifting him to tackle, a position he took over and became a regular for the rest of the season. With a year of experience he should really go places next fall. MANAGER DUPERE—At best, a manager’s job is a hard one which calls for a lot of work and very little recognition, but Louis certainly deserves a lot of credit for the fine job that he did this year. He served two years as assistant manager, and knew all the ropes from beginning to end. The school will miss one of its most faithful workers. BASKETBALL Somerset High’s 1941-42 basketball quintet, one of the best all-round teams to represent the Blue and White in many years, was a very versatile aggregation. Led by Captain Everett Bradley, the team boasted a front line combination composed of Bradley and Grime, forwards, and Worton, center, which accounted for 503 points and enabled the team to finish in second place in the Narry League. Team¬ ing with the two guards, Clarkson and Sanderson, they were a powerful defensive unit, in one game holding the opposition to only five points, while they chalked up 55. Sickness in the middle of the season lessened the team’s chances for a better record. At the close of the regular season, Somerset entered the South Shore Tourna¬ ment, held at the Brockton Y. M. C. A. Stepped up in classification, they were placed in Class A. In the :irst game, they upset the favored Bridgewater five, 38-31, but in the semi-finals, were beaten by Stoughton, the winners of the tournament. The Jayvee Team also completed a very satisfactory schedule, in spite of heavy competition. Prospects for next year look brighter with the addition of new material from the Intramural League.

He deserves all the praise for the team’s success, and we wish him all the iuck for as good future teams as those he has produced in the past. Manager Arthur Marsden—The manager of any team leads a hard life and has many details which are burdensome, but Art did a good job and deserves much credit. Richard Moore (Timer - 2 years)—Richard did most of the technical work for the team. He was always wil ing to lend a hand, and was a very able assistant to the Coach. Robert “Bob” Worton (Center)—“Bob” has been a member of the basketball squad for three years and really came to the front this year. His shooting, passing, and all¬ round floor play marked him as an out¬ standing performer for the Blue Raiders. He topped off his good work of the season with a fine exhibition in the South Shore Tournament held at the Brockton Y. M. C. A. Captain Everett “B r a d” Bradley (Forward)—Everett has played basketball for three years on the varsity squad and was elected to the captaincy of this year’s team. His coolness under pressure and his all-round ability has earned him a place among Somerset High School’s honored basketball players. A true sportsman and a tireless player while in action. Kenneth “Ken” Grime (Forward)—Al¬ though small in stature, “Ken” makes up for it in speed and agility. Because of his quickness, he intercepted many passes and broke up many plays. He is especially dangerous under the basket where he throws the ball in from any angle. He is a good foul shooter, and his points often decided the winner of the game. Francis Costa (Forward)—“Franny,” a member of the Jayvees last year was the only sophomore letterman on the team. He is a fast, scrappy forward, and uses his size to good advantage. With more experience, he should become a fine player and give a good account of himself in the next two years. Robert “Bob” Clarkson (Guard)—A very fast, dependable, hard working guard, “Bob” was noted for his ability to break up opponent’s scoring plays. His ability to re¬ trieve the ball off the backboard was ex¬ ceptional as was his passing, and he will undoubtedly have a successful season again next year. Bradford “Sandy” Sanderson (Guard) Co-Captain Elect—“Sandy’s” great defensive as well as offensive play has marked him as an outstanding guard. He set up many scoring plays and often was on the scoring end of many of them. His accuracy on long shots developed as the season pro¬ gressed and he should step up his scoring ability next season. Bradford “Brad” Leonard (Guard) Co- Captain Elect—“Brad ” is a junior member of the varsity and is noted for his exception¬ al all-round defensive guard play. But his abilities are not confined to this alone, for he has substituted in each of the other two positions on several occasions, and proved to be a good utility player. Next year should find him among the best. BASEBALL The 1942 baseball campaign got underway with the first official practice on April 6, and thirty candidates reported to Coach Spokesfield. Four lettermen make up the nucleus around which the team will be built. Captain “Ken” Grime will be at third base, Everett Bradley has been shifted from second base to shortstop, Tom Camara is the most promising candidate for the initial sack, and Merton Frazer will probably take care of the catching assignment. Several promising aspirants are competing for the open positions, and the squad should be in good shape for the opening game with Dighton. All four classes are represented on the squad before the final cut is made. Inter-squad games are being played each day with the pitchers getting two or three innings each on the mound, and the other players being shifted around to find the best combination in hitting and fielding.
