“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.
