“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.

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.

“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.”
