Arnold Paul Labreche Mike” Gentleman is written legibly on his brow.” Mike has serenely carved his niche in our class because of his good nature and reliability. Although working part-time in his father’s paint shop has pre¬ vented his participating in varsity sports, he has gained an excellent business background which will help him to prepare for his future career, that of a car painter. His favorite hobby is dancing, which he enjoys immensely. Mike, however, will find his im¬ mediate future in the Army Engineers, his chosen branch of the service. May your future be as suc¬ cessful as your past, Mike. Lorraine Marie-Anne Lavoie Lorry” Be good, sweet maid, and let who can be clever.” The class owes a vote of thanks to the Davis Grammar School for sending Lorraine to us. Lorry is one member of our class who rates high in con¬ stancy. Her leisure time is divided between music and sports which she enjoys immensely. A cafeteria cashier, her cheerful “Hello” is familiar to both teachers and classmates alike. Lorry has given ex¬ cellent cooperation in the undertaking of Somerset High’s clerical work and plans to study for a secre¬ tarial career. From past experience we know she will not fail us. Good luck, Lorry. Paul Maurice LeComte Joe” The apparel oft proclaims the man.” Known as Joe to all his friends, Maurice has fol¬ lowed life at Somerset in an easy going, carefree manner. Interested in sports, he has been an active member of the basketball and football team. Equally responsible to class duties as well as extra-curricular activities, Joe served as treasurer of the Senior Class, and has been an energetic worker on committees of all types. For the duration of the war, Joe plans to serve in the Army Air Corps. His plans for the fu¬ ture also center around aviation, as he plans to be a transport pilot. May all your ambitions be realized, Joe.

Carl Edward Kashar But a wonderful twinkle showed in his eye. Behind the jovial personality and quick wit Carl is noted for, lies a deep source of knowledge. He not only possesses a sense of humor, but his is the abil¬ ity to think deeply and earnestly upon any problem which he may be confronted with. Carl has been active in many extra-curricular activities. Among his varied interests have been the Boys’ Glee Club, the operation of the movie projection machine and skilled work in General Shop. An ardent sports fan, he was a member of the basketball team, assisted at the football games, and served as timekeeper at the intramural basketball games. His chief interest, however, is aviation and his main objective is a career in the Naval Air Corps. May success and hap¬ piness be yours, Carl. Margaret Mary Kenney Peggy A merry heart doeth good like medicine The sense of humor and dimpled smile which have won many high school friends for Peggy will undoubtedly be assets to her as a student nurse in the Union Hospital. In the not too distant future, we will find her donning the uniform of the Naval Nurse Corps, her ultimate goal. She was an active member of the girls’ basketball team, and sang in the Glee Club for four years. Elected vice-president of the Student Association in her junior year, Peg did much to promote the general welfare of Somerset High School. Dancing and bowling are favorite pas¬ times with Peg, and four years of wholehearted co¬ operation and willingness have earned for her the enviable reputation she deserves—that of a “good sport.” Don’t lose that smile, Peg, and we know suc¬ cess is just around the corner. Adaline Chace King Anne Thy modesty’s a candle to thy merit. Frank, friendly, charming! These adjectives best describe our Anne. There is no limit to her activi¬ ties, for her name has appeared countless times on the Honor Roll and her extra-curricular activities are numerous. Much of her leisure time is spent at the piano, catching candid camera shots of her class¬ mates in most unflattering poses, or curled up in a chair with the current best seller. During her fresh¬ man year, Anne participated in the activities of the Science Club. She has followed the commercial course for four years, and plans to enter Allen’s Bus¬ iness School after graduation in preparation for her chosen career—that of a private secretary. We wish you the best of everything, Anne.

Marjorie Frances Lee Marge” Good nature and good sense must ever join.” Here is another reason why we are loath to leave Somerset High. Marge’s sunny disposition and quick smile have made her a welcome addition to our class. An accomplished violinist, she has been a member of the school orchestra for two years. Be¬ sides her interest in music, Marge is fond of skating and dancing. As yet her plans for the future are not definite, but she will probably be influenced by the fact that she has excelled in the Commercial Course during her four years at high school. If her future is as happy as her past and present, we need have no fear. Best of luck to you, Marge. Mary Pauline Maddock Deserve success and you shall command it.” Mary, one of the most cheerful girls in our class, came to us from the Village School. Her pleas¬ ant ways and ready smile are responsible for her popularity with pupils and teachers. Mary skates and dances with skill; perhaps this is the reason why her presence is always demanded by classmates and friends. A Library Associate, Mary can always be found assisting someone with an unwieldly reference book. She has faithfully followed the Commercial Course and plans to further her education at Allen’s Business School. We know she will succeed in her chosen field, and the class wishes her the happiness she so deserves. Albert Joseph Oliver Al” He who has a thousand friends, has not a friend to spare.” Al is a jovial fellow whose sparkling personal¬ ity and witty remarks have made him known and liked by all. He was an active member of the Boys’ Glee Club and served as Vice-President during his junior year. An energetic promoter of dances and socials, Al can always be found hard at work to make any affair a social and financial success. Proof of his class spirit and enthusiasm is the fact that he was elected boy councillor for two successive years. He plans to join the Navy and we are certain. Al possesses the qualities of an ideal sailor.
