John McGrady, Jr. A lion among women, he is a most dreadful thing.” Mac came to Somerset High via Pottersville Grammar School. In his third year he was chosen boy councillor to represent our junior class. Chosen as one of the Somerset representatives to Boys’ State, he was elected County Commissioner. His ath¬ letic achievements in football and basketball deemed him man of the hour and he captained the basketball team to victory. His persuasiveness of manner and esquire-attire marked him a man among women. His sense of humor and ability to take a joke have been seen both in school and out. Mac was official S. H. S. chauffeur, ready to serve at all times with his “limousine.” We are certain Mac will attain suc¬ cess in his future ambition, that of an automobile salesman. Alfred Medeiros ”McGrew” .... ”Al” ”Let us live then, and he glad.” McGrew came to Somerset High from the Wilbur Grammar School, bringing with him his zestful, devil-may-care personality. Always an active member of the Class of ’45, a dance or social affair would not be complete without him. In ’41 he was a mem¬ ber of the Boys’ Glee Club, being a most valuable asset to that organization. Upon completion of Somerset High School, McGrew intends to join Uncle Sam’s Navy. Smooth sailing, Al. Mary A. Mori arty ”Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye.” Pretty and quiet Mary came to us from Pot¬ tersville and since then she has been dear to all her friends. Choosing the commercial course upon her entrance, she has gained respect from all her teach¬ ers. If you have enjoyed the refreshments at our class dances, you can thank Mary, for she is most certin to be on the refreshment committee. Mary is also a very good dancer, having received most of her practice at the U. S. O ' , with Pat Silvia. She can also drive, being one of the few senior girls who can. As yet, Mary has not decided what her future shall hold, but whatever it is, we all know she will succed. We wish you luck, Mary.

Marguerite Ann Maddock ’ Silence is more eloquent than words.” Marguerite is one of our quiet classmates whose beautiful blue eyes are the envy of her classmates. During her studies at S. H. S. she has followed the commercial course. Although Marguerite was not a participant in intramural sports, she was a faithful spectator at basketball and football games. A nightly visitor at the library, Marguerite spends many happy hours reading current literature; she is also an ar¬ dent movie fan. Marguerite’s plans for the future are indefinite, but her interest in the commercial field will probably provide a successful future. Isabel Harriet-Lee McClellan ”Mac” .... ”Lee” To a young heart everything is fun.” Isabel came to us in her junior year from Dean Academy. Although she has been with us only two years, she is very much a part of the Class of ’45. She has shown an interest in school activities by being a member of the Glee Club and serving on the Pep Squad for two years. In her senior year, she took part in the Dramatic Club and Le Cercle Fran¬ cois, and her job as head of the succ essful senior cake sale deserves special commendation. Mac hopes to go to junior college and then enter into social work. We hope she will be successful. Ethel Anna McFarlane ”Scotty” ”A merry heart doth doeth good like medicine.” Ethel is that vivacious senior with the cheerful disposition. She has been an outstanding member of the Class of 1945, always ready to take part in extra¬ curricular activities. She played basketball for three years and was a librarian for four years, holding the office of treasurer during her senior year. She played the violin in the Orchestra and was the girl councillor in her freshman year. She has always been selected to serve on decorating comhiittees for our dances. Scotty is a roller skating enthusiast and a lover of sports. She plans to attend a business school after graduation, and we feel sure that, with her cheerful disp osition and her agreeableness, she will make Somerset High proud of her in the business world.

William Oliveira Whchie” Ah, to build, to build! That is the noblest of all the arts ’ Witchie is a forceful type of individual who really gets things accomplished. After a whirlwind campaign this year, he was elected president of the S. A. A. An excellent basketball player and gridiron star, he was the spearhead of the Somerset attack, breaking away time and again for sizeable gains. His favorite expressions, “Dream on!” and “Joke, joke!” will soon be forgotten by the class. Witchie wants to build in the future and our best wishes go with him in the field of carpentry. Dolores Sylvia Pacheco ’’Del” ’’The very flower of youth.” Dolores well deserves our vote of most attrac¬ tive and best looking senior girl. She always has a cheery greeting or compliment to pass along to everyone as she goes happily through the school day. Her pleasing personality has won her many friends among both her classmates and other mem¬ bers of the school, and in her senior year she was elected girl councillor and was chosen queen of the Winter Carnival. Dolores has taken a commercial course for four years and we feel confident that she will make anybody a good bookkeeper or secretary. Best wishes for the success she so well deserves. Jacqueline Ann Pavao ’’Jackie” ”I think no virtue goes with size.” Jackie, a diminutive little miss, always has a ready smile and cheery word for everyone. Although she is little, she has become a big part of the class. She plays the piano exceptionally well and, together with her singing, has brought many pleasant hours of enjoyment to her friends. She was a member of the Girls’ Glee Club and the Dramatic Club. Jackie is interested in becoming a hairdresser and plans tO ' attend school in the near future. With her inviting- personality we know she will hit the peak of per¬ fection. Best of luck, Jackie.
