“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. Since then she has been elected as a member of the Library Associates, is a member of the Commercial Club, and plays the xylophone in the school orchestra. 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.
