Theresa Margaret Greene ’ ' It matters no how long we live, hut how.” Margaret, one of our quiet students, excels in all the subjects of her commercial course. She is a four- year member of the Glee Club and a charter member of the new Dramatic Club. The blending of both her talents can be remembered by her performance on “Sadie Hawkins’ Day.’’ Margaret has another talent, and that is drawing. She wishes to enter the field of fashion designing in the future. We all wish you success, Margaret. Russell Harrison ’’Silence is golden.” Russell entered Somerset High in his sophomore year from Durfee High School. He was recognized by the Pottersvillites as one of their old classmates of the Pottersville Grammar School. Although Rus¬ sell did not participate in sports or extra-curricular activities while at Somerset High, he was known by all for his quiet, unobtrusive manner. Midway through his senior year, he left his studies to join the Navy and took his boot training at Sampson. The most recent of our boys to leave for the service, the class is united in wishing him good speed. James Joseph Kiley ”Jim” ’’Irish eyes are always smiling.” Jim is one of those fellows everyone cannot help liking. His good nature and friendly smile have won him many friends. Despite his diminutive size, Jim has been active on the jayvee basketball team and has participated in intramural sports. He has always been willing to help out on committees ' and he at¬ tends many of our social events, being considered a good dancer. Jim’s immediate goal after graduation is joining the service, but after that is undecided. Whatever life journey he takes we hope good luck accompanies him.

He sings amazingly well and plays the piano to the ‘ ' nth” degree. He is an ardent sports fan although he does not participate in any definite sport. Ronny is one of the sea-faring members of the class and he plans to join the United States Navy after graduation. May his every wish be granted, for we are sure he will make an able seaman. Mildred Edna Goff ’’Millie” ”A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.” Millie is one of the more sociable girls of our class whose set determination and lively spirit have tided her safely through a four year college course. Her mischievous smile and vivacious spirit have won her many friends. Millie has taken part in school activities ever since she was a freshman, during which time she became a member of the Girl’s Glee Club and the Orchestra. In her senior year she joined Le Cercle Francais. Her one great ambition is to enter the field of nursing. Our best wishes for a successful future go with her.

Wilbert George Langfield Wisdom is better than rubies” Will’s is a gentlemanly personality which ranks him high in the various phases of school life, social as well as scholastic. He has shown marked interest in football, basketball, and baseball, and he was elected boy councillor in his senior year. His out- of-school interests are reserved for stamp collecting and in sailing the bounding main. Will is courteous, both in class and to his fellow students, but a mis¬ chievous side permits him rarely to miss an occasion in playing some prank, for which he invariably teams up with Donald Leach. He has served on several dance committes and is always wiling to oblige any class in putting up the lights, again with his pal, Leach. Will’s ambition is to become a chemist. With your ability and ambition, Will, we are certain suc¬ cess will crown all your achievements.

He has been active in many of the school affairs, having been manager of the football team in his freshman and sophomore years and manager of the basketball team when he was a junior. In his sophomore year Donald was vice-president of the Science Club of which be was a member for four years. His interests are not only scientific, however, for in the newly organized Le Cercle Francais he was elected treasurer. Donald has taken the college course and intends to go to Brown University next Fall where he will major in chemical engineering. Because of his sincere interest in his work, we know Donald will make good. Janice Elizabeth Lockhart Content with the present whateir it may be.” Janice, who has made many friends, gets along with whomever she comes in contac t. Her motive in life is not only to make good at whatever she does, but also to find enjoyment in doing it. After getting her driver’s license, Janice acquired her own auto¬ mobile in which she drove groups of classmates and friends to many of the school games and dances. Being interested in many subjects, she has taken a general course during her four years at Somerset. Her thoughts of the future have varied from nursing to office work. However, we know her interest in whatever she finally undertakes will mark her for success.
