Laura Frances Braga ”To erf is human; to forgive, divine.” Laura is one of the quietest girls of the class, having a mild manner and even temper. Although she has not taken part in many activities, she was a member of Le Cercle Francais in her senior year. Laura has made a remarkable attendance record by not being tardy nor absent in the past eight years. During her four years at high school, Laura followed the college course with a few added subjects from the commercial curriculum. Her ambition is to be a good nurse, and all her classmates are sure she will succeed because of her genial and pleasing person¬ ality. Success to you, Laura. Helen Frances Butler ”Not too happy, not too gay — she strikes a happy medium.” In September of 1941, Helen came to Somerset High from the Village School, enrolling in the com¬ mercial course. Her good-nature and even temper have been assets during her four years here. When asked about her main interest, she is certain to reply, “Oh, reading, of course!” This is most often accompanied by a cheerful, dimpled smile which leads you to believe “all’s right with the world.” Although considered a quiet member of the class, her outside interests and friends are many. The career Helen has chosen is that of a telephone opera¬ tor. She has our best wishes for success, and may she never ring up the wrong number. Gertrude Geraldine Cabral ”Gert” ”For they can conquer who believe they can.” The first with new hair-does and styles, Gert is considered the “glamour girl” of the graduating class. She has taken a general course and has worked diligently at her subjects, thus being chosen the most studious senior girl. In her junior and senior years, she was an outstanding cheerleader and certainly helped the boys on to victory. Gert became a member of Le Cercle Francais during her senior year and she was also a member of the Glee Club. She plans to enter the field of law in the future. Her poise and self-assurance will aid her in her climb to suc¬ cess.

Evelyn Botelho Modesty is a virtue not often found.” Evelyn is small and slight, has dark hair and winsome eyes, and is considered a rather quiet girl, although when she is with her friend, Beatrice, any¬ thing is likely to happen. She has followed the com¬ mercial course and has been a member of the Girls’ Glee Club. Ev, considered a reliable student, has gained the confidence and trust of her teachers and classmates by her cooperative manner. Being largely interested in secretarial work, she plans to continue her studies in that field after graduation. We are sure she will be successful in carving a niche for herself in the business world. Best of luck, Ev. Normand Joseph Boutin ”By the work, one knows the workman.” Normand is reputed to be a worker, diligent and dependable. There is humor in his person and char¬ acter in his work in the commercial subjects where proof of this is found. Outside of being a student at Somerset High, Normand works at the Central Drug¬ store. His part-time interests consist of keeping an¬ imals, chickens, and rabbits ,and gardening. Reading and sports occupy most leisure time. Normand’s am¬ bition, to be a pharmacist, is an estimable one, and we wish and hope for his success in that field. Raymond Woods Boynton, Jr, ”Ray” Learning is better worth than house or land.” Ray will always be familiar to us as the official scorer t the basketball games. In his junior year, he played on the Jayvee basketball team and he man¬ aged the football and the basketball teams in his senior year. Ray is well-icnown for his brilliance ever since grammar school days. He intends, upon com¬ pletion of high school, to enter a business college to take up accounting and business practical applica¬ tion. Good luck, Ray. We’re behind you.

Having a pleasant personality, she is popular with all her classmates, and her quiet, dignified manner has made her an ideal pupil. Cad is a mem¬ ber of Le Cercle Francais, the Dramatic Club, and the Glee Club, and she is an associate editor of Memoirs VIII. She took a general course at school and plans to enter the field of journalism or radio broadcasting. Here’s wishing her smooth sailing. Dorothy Camara ’’Dotty” ’’The only way to my heart is by the road of honor.” Dotty is probably one of the most versatile and witty girls S. H. S. has ever had and she is well- known for her cheery disposition and ever ready “joke.” Her popularity is proven by her being elected vice-president of the Class of ’45 for four years. Dotty’s executive ability has been the main factor for her being elected president of the Round Table and secretary of the Dramatic Club and being chosen editor of Memoirs VIII. I nterested in music and sports. Dotty has been a member of the Glee Club for four years, has been active on the girls’ basket¬ ball team, and, as a cheerleader on the Pep Squad, has spurred the boys on to many a victory. When the Breeze was organized, she became the capable senior reporter and could invariably be seen with her notebook and pencil taking down the latest news. Dotty plans to attend business college after gradua¬ tion and we know she will keep up her excellent school record. Doris Mary-Jane Comeau ’’Dot” ’’Tranquility! Thou better name than all the family of fame.” Here’s to one of our neatest and most efficient senior girls! Dot is the quiet, agreeable type, and she has gained an enviable reputation for preciseness in her work. She has followed the commercial course throughout her four years at Somerset High and was a member of the Girls’ Glee Club for two years. Dot plans to continue in the business field, and we hope success will follow her in whatever she at¬ tempts.
