Dubber’s pleasing personal¬ ity and quick wit in any situation have won her the admiration of all. As yet she has made no definite plans for the future, but we feel safe in making a prediction. Since Joan’s nature is conductive to happy living, we can fors ' ee only health, prosperity, and fun in the days facing her.

The “gang” takes advantage of his Irish hospitality many Saturday ' evenings, a custom we shall certainly miss after graduation.

Mary Lou Gooley The friendship that makes the least notice is often the most precious” Shorthand Club—4 Vot ' ed by her classmates the quietest girl in the Senior Class, Mary Lou’s dignity and poise merit the title. Not only is she noiseless, but also petite and sweet, as her many friends agree. During her four years here at Somerset High, Mary Lou has followed the Commercial Course with neatn’ess and efficiency. Although she is a person of few words, she is nevertheless a type which no class can be complete without. After graduation, Mary Lou’s ambition is to become a secretary. To you, Mary Lou, we wish success and happiness. Barbara Jean Haworth The temple of our purest thoughts is — silence.” Gibe Club—4 “Barb”, one of the quieter members of the class r has made an indelible impression by both her cheer¬ fulness and enduring patience.

Barbara is seen at many dances and has always served faithfully on her appointed committees. Her willingness to go beyond duty has made her a wel¬ come member.

Patricia Abigail Hayden In all the sense of the word—a lady.” Glee Club—1, 2, 3 Dramatic Club—4 Shorthand Club—4 Pep Squad—4 For four years Pat has graced the school cor¬ ridors with her sparkling beauty and personality. She enhances her natural pulchritude with a becom¬ ing dignity and poise. Fully deserving the ’exalted title “lady,” Pat is a worthy classmate in every sense of the word. Beauty and brains are supposed¬ ly a rare combination, but Pat’s name is no stranger to the honor roll. Her vivacity and school spirit won her a coveted position on the pep squad. It seems repititious to say she did her work well on commit¬ tees and in clubs, but we all realize the value of that service. She plans to attend Katherine Gibbs Junior College after graduation to further her com¬ mercia l education. Here’s to a long life of love and laughter, Pat.
