Ann Patricia Ruby ' Her eyebrow dark showed spirit proud.” Ann, during her four years at Somerset High, has made friends in abundance with her cheery dis¬ position and ever ready smile. She was chosen most musical of the class and has lived up to this by her violin playing in the Orchestra and membership in the Girls’ Glee Club for four years. Ann has been an active member of school activities and was elected secretary of the Round Table. In her senior year she joined the newly founded Le Cercle Francais and Dramatic Club. Ann has followed a college course in preparation for entrance in the Union Hospital School for Nurses. We are sure that she will someday realize her ambition of becoming a nurse. Mary Patricia Silvia ”Fat” ”Patsy” ”She is pretty to walk with, and witty to talk with, and pleasant, too, to think on.” Pat came to us in 1941 from the Pottersville Grammar School. Since then she has done much to brighten the activities at Somerset High. At all dances you can count on Pat to help with the decora¬ tions; and the night of the dance, Patsy helps make dancing more pleasant, as she is a fine dancer. In her junior year she was elected secretary of the Student Association. She has belonged to the Glee Club for four years, the Pep Squad for two years, and was vice-president of the Dramatic Club. Pat hopes to become a fashion designer and plans to enter the Rhode Island School of Design. Best of luck, Pat; we know you will always be the “cream of the crop’’ in any fashion designing department. Marguerite Catherine Smith ”lt seemed the music melted in her throat.” Another quiet member of our class from the Village School is Marguerite, the one and only auburn-haired member of the class. Although she does not think herself “quiet,” we consider her as such. Her main interest is music and she possesses an excellent voice which has made her a member deluxe of the Girls’ Glee Club for three years. Mar¬ guerite has pursued a mixed commercial and col¬ lege course, which proves that it must be good to know a little of everything. Her ambition is to be¬ come a nurse and in this the Class of ’45 wishes her all luck, success, and happiness.

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.

Lorraine Louise Trudeau rrudy” ’ Doing well in whatever you do, without a thought of fame.” Trudy is one of our most popular classmates. Thoughtful in all her undertakings and always ready to lend a cheery word and a witty remark, she won the friendship of everyone. She has been active on decoration committees, intramural basketball, and as a Library Associate, and was vice-president of the Student Athletic Association during her junior year. Although she takes an interest in all sports, roller skating is by far her favorite pastime. Trudy, an honor roll regular, has excelled in the commer¬ cial course and her ability was proven by her ap¬ pointment as clerk for the local rationing board. She plans to enter business college in the fall. Good luck, Trudy, from all of us—your friends. Blanche Adel Waitt ”Oh, her heart is a free and a fetterless thing.” Gay and vivacious Blanche is always sure to be in the center of a group of laughing students. Her humor has made her number of friends endless. Since entering Somerset High, Blanche has spent two years in the Glee Club and she became a mem¬ ber of the newly formed Dramatic Club. She is one of the peppiest cheerleaders on the squad and can always be seen lending a lusty voice to cheer the boys on. It is with much of her help that our class dances have been well-decorated. Roller skating lures Blanche at least once a week to Cashman’s Rol¬ ler Rink and it can be called her favorite pastime along with drawing. Blanche, the baby of our class, plans to enter the field of fashion designing. Good luck! Mary Wawriw ”They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts.” Mary has proven herself a just and reliable member of the Class of 1945. Always ready with a helping hand or a bit of advice, she has been inval¬ uable on committees and school organizations. In her sophomore and junior years she was elected girl councillor, and after being a library associate for two years, was chosen head librarian in her senior year. Mary was active in reorganizing the Round Table, of which she was elected vice-president, and she served as librarian of the Dramatic Club. She has come through high school with all honor marks and a record without a blemish. Mary was chosen by her classmates as the girl most likely to succeed. We are sure that she will climb to the top of the ladder of success in her chosen profession of nursing,, for which she plans to enter Truesdale Hospital School of Nursing after graduation. Best of luck, Mary!
