Foreword After four eventful years, we have arrived at the momen¬ tous period that seemed so distant when we first entered Somerset High School. 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.

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.
