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.

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.

Anna Grace Madden An artist’s sphere of influence is the world. Breeze—3, Asso. Edit.—4 Glee Club—3, Secretary—4 Cheerleader—2, 3, 4 Dramatic Club—3, 4 French Club—3 Vice-Pr ' es.—4 One of the tallest girls of the class, Anna bears her height with a characteristic grace and dignity. Her sophistication, a distinctive quality of her per¬ sonality, coupled with her good nature and love of fun, makes her a desirable member of any group. That she is a conscientious worker is proven by the fact that she was elected “the girl who did most for S.H.S. and for her class.’’ A good student, Ann does not allow her attendance at night school, where she is furthering her interests in art, to interfere with her regular school work. She plans to enter Rhode Island School of Design upon her graduation from S.H.S. One with your initiative and ability should go far in your chosen vocation, Anna. Here’s to a success and future happiness, which is to us, a cer¬ tainty. Arthur Marchand Jr. A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. Football—1, 3—Capt. 4 French Club—4 Orchestra—1, 3, 4 Baseball—3, 4 Breeze—4 Dramatic Club—3, 4 Basketball Jayvees—4 Honor Roll—3 “Chick”, a rollicking product of St. Louis de France, apparently obtained at that school a jovial disposition which was instrumental in making him a most welcome member of our class. “Chick” has been very active in sports and attained the hon¬ ored position of captain of the football squad in his Senior year. Although he spent his Sophomore year at Coyle High, he returned home to Somerset the following year, realizing that Somerset was “tops”. “Chick” can usually be found blowing sweet notes on his trumpet, either in the school orchestra or in his own popular and well-known band. Next year he intends to further his education at Boston Col¬ lege where h ' e relishes the prospect of playing foot¬ ball. We sincerely hope he finds his fill of pleasure on the gridiron, ample success in the medical pro¬ fession, and happiness throughout life. Pauline Victoria Marion Good nature and good sense must ever join. Glee Club—3 Senior Shorthand Club—4 A most industrious and helpful classmate, Pauline is Andover, Mass.’s gift to Somerset. She is a quiet, reserved damsel, always willing to do her part in any task. Her willingness to-work is fully recognized, for she is a capable office worker. “Paul” has been active in commercial studies and plans to go further in that department. The world is sorely in need of industrious, pleasant individuals like Paul¬ ine. May your road to success be swift and sure.
