erne o emoirs IX The Editors of Memoirs IX have written this book with a view toward providing you with an enduring reminder of your happy days spent at Somerset High School. If, at some future date, a perusal through its pages causes you to revert mentally to this most blissful period of your life, the ambi¬ tions of the Staff will have been realized. Since that eventful day when we timidly began our high school careers to this equally momentous graduation day, we have been taught, painstakingly prepared, to be successful participants in the Game of Life.’’ A conscientious faculty, which has been both teacher and friend, has equipped our minds with the knowledge necessary to realize our worldly ambitions, and has arduously endeavored to instill in us a noble philosophical attitude. We have adopted a mutual philosophy, best explained by the words, Happiness through perfect virtue. The sagacity of this philosophy has begun to impress us, and, we regard it as the sole formula for man’s eternal quest, happiness. All that remains is for us to apply courage. In the following pages we have chronicled the achieve¬ ments of our class and the careers of its individual members in the earnest hope that the memory of our Alma Mater will be an inspiration for good in our lives. We cherish the fond expectation that a review of these pages in the turbulent days ahead will soothe our minds with the dear remembrance of school joys and school friends. Above all, we earnestly desire that our lives will prove worthy of the unselfish efforts of our teachers, who have made our days at Somerset High School a never-to-be-forgotten experience.
