William Thomas Hinton Bill” Men of few words are the best men. Honor Roll—3 “Bill” is quiet, reserved and yet quick to grasp the object of any lesson, whether it be for th’e in¬ tellect or for amusement. Quiet people like him can always find a plac ' e in the world. Possessing a prod¬ igal sense of humor, Bill is never the one to laugh last or softest at a good joke. He is a dignified gen¬ tleman, a high tribute to any man. Industry, another most valuable trait, has found a place in his makeup, for he has worked consistently after school. Te has his classmate’s good wishes in his architectural am¬ bitions. Ann Keney It is tranquil people that accomplish much. Glee Club—3 Honor Roll—2, 3, 4 Senior Shorthand Club—4 Another of those constant, reliable peole with¬ out which no class is complete, is Ann Kenney. Al¬ though to many she might appear quiet and re¬ served, it may be said of Ann:—Those who speak little, speak wisdom. Her few words are worthy of attention and consideration. Because of her agree¬ able manner and general pleasantness, Ann has, during her high school days, attracted a host of steadfast friends. She will enter the business world after her graduation, seeking a career in the secre¬ tarial field. The best of luck, happiness and pros¬ perity, Ann. Edward Joseph Leonard Tis good nature that wins the heart. Football—3, 4 Although it is seldom one possesses both a “fair” exterior and interior, the class of ’46 offers Ted as an exception. Possessor of a handsome face and physique, he will doubtlessly make many girlish hearts flutter. He is quiet and good natured, an en¬ viable combination. For two years Ted was a de¬ pendable lineman on Somerset’s football teams. If there were a Purple Heart for grid- achievements, Ted would receive one, for he incurred a serious knee injury in the line of duty. He attends most of our social events where he cuts a stalwart figure on the dance floor. The world can well use men like Ted. We offer him to the world with a stern recommendation of good treatment. Here’s luck, Ted.

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. She has been one of those dependable and quiet persons who are so vital in forming a sturdy foundation of a class. 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. Although “Barb’s” plans for the fu¬ ture ar’e indefinite, we know that by her diligence and personality she will be a success in her chosen field. The best of luck to you Barb, always. 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.

Rhoda Ann Leonard Nicky” Be ye not dazzled by beauty; look for those inward qualities.” Vice Pres, of Class—1, 2, 3, 4 French Club—3, 4 Girls’ Basketball, Capt.—2, 3, 4 Breeze Staff—3, 4 Library Associate—2, 3 Chairman of Library—4 Round Table—4 Honor Roll—1, 2, 3, 4 Nick’s wonderful personality and easy, natural air make being h’er friend both an honor and a pleasure. The qualities she possesses are too numer¬ ous to mention. It is enough to say that her good natur’e needs little improvement to insure her all the happiness that life can offer. Nick has worked hard at the college course and has proven that hard work is rewarded. She plans to further h ' er educa¬ tion in the liberal arts, preferably English. We all know, Nick, that one with your personality and ability will surely reap the fruits of success. Lorraine Loiselle Good nature is one of the richest gifts ” Cheerleader—4 Glee Club—4 Shorthand Club—4 Librarian—2, 3, 4 S.A.A. Secretary—3 Honor Roll—1, 3 The saying, “Good things come in small pack¬ ages”, certainly applies to Lorraine. Although she is the shortest member of our class, she is far from being unrecognized or unnoticed. “Lorry’s” agree¬ able manner has won h’er many fast friends during her four years at Somerset High. She has followed the commercial course and has been putting her knowledge to use by working at the Spectator after school. But she has not let her outside work inter¬ fere with her school activities. “Shorty” has helped to cheer the football and basketball teams on to vic¬ tory by being a faithful cheerleader. Lorraine has always been a good student, and although she has not definitely decided upon the future, we know that she will succeed in whatever she undertakes. Raymond Joseph Lussier Let me die to the sounds of delicious music.” Football—4 Orchestra—1, 2, 3, 4 Baseball—4 French Club—3 Ray has always shown a strong inclination for music and for four years he has been a loyal mem¬ ber of the school orchestra. Ray has drummed his way into a large social sphere and his wit and gen¬ eral worldliness have served to make enduring the friendship of those he meets. He has not only enter¬ tained people, but also repaired their cars at Gell’s Garage. This doubles his chances of a success we consider a certainty. He has pursued the General Course during his four years at S.H.S. and, in the future, aims to become a drummer with a topflight band. May you drum your way to unlimited success, Ray.
