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!

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.

ur erv icemen With confidence in our armed forces, with unhounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph. So help us God.” —Franklin D. Roosevelt With special pride the Class of 1945 presents those of its members serving with the armed forces of the United States. We extend to them our sincerest best wishes and fervent prayer for a safe and speedy home-coming. Kenneth Booth S 1 C ”Ken” ”Kenny” Ken came to Somerset High in his freshman year from the Wilbur School and was admired for his quiet, unassuming ways. He was a member of the football squad and showed a great interest in athletics while in school, but he left us in his sopho¬ more year to join the Navy. He received his basic training at Newport and was then assigned to his ship, the U. S. S. City of Fort Worth, an Army Transport now on duty in the South Pacific. Al¬ though he is thousands of miles away, Kenny will always be a part of the Class of ’45.
