£ ervicemen Raymond Henry Bibeau I woke, and found that life was Duty.” French Club—3 “Ray” is our other popular classmate who left in ’45 in answer to Uncle Sam’s call to the colors. He joined the Coast Guard, the motto of which is “Semper Paratus”, a trait that Ray possessed even during his days with us. Possessing a genial person¬ ality sparked with a contagious smile, h’e has been as successful in the service as he was in the capacity of a classmate. Ray received his “boot” training at Manhattan Beach and at the present is stationed at Boston. He plans to take advantage of the G. I. Bill of Rights by going to college. His class extends to him its wishes for a successful future. Norman Henry Fortier An affable and courteous gentlemen.” Bre’eze, Business Manager—3 “Norm”, a refined gentleman in faultless attire, left us in ’45 to join the Navy, but he is an integral part of our class. Although his high school career was shorter than is usual, th’e fact that he was chosen “The Boy Who Has Done Most for Somerset High School” proves he made a great impression upon us, and that his stay at the school was most profitable. Always noted as a fashionabl’e dresser, “Norm” presents an equally attractive appearance in his Navy “blues.” He served capably as Business Manager of th’e reorganized “Breeze” in his Junior year. Here’s loads of luck from an appreciative class to a great classmate who served his school and country equally well. Alcide Robert Morrell Al” The power of oratory is not truth but persuasion.” Dramatic Club—3, President—4 Breeze Staff—3, 4 Football—3 Baseball, Mgr.—3 Frencs—3 Basketball, Mgr—4 Fall River’s loss was Somerset’s gain when “Al” came to S. H. S. from Morton Junior High. Always an active student, he has been a prominent influence in th’e affairs of our class. Particularly noted as an orator, “Al” has demonstrated his speech ability in class politics and in Shakesperian drama in the Eng¬ lish classes. His aptitude was rewarded by being elect’ed President of the Dramatic Club in his senior year. His dancing, football playing, and flashes of keen intelligence prove he has developed both body and brain, also. “Al” is a thoroughly regular fellow and can boast of a large number of friends. His originality and humor have made him a most in¬ teresting classmate. We feel certain, “Al” your word- ly wisdom and general ability will carry you far in interesting fields.

Myra Velozo Those who love music are gentle and honest in their tempers. Glee Club—1, 2, 3,—Sec.—4 Senior Shorthand Club, Sec.—4 Honor Roll—-1, 3 Another talented member of the class, Myra is noted for her beautiful voice and general musical ability. She is a regular attendant at school dances where she has earned for herself the reputation of proficiency in this Terpsichorean art. Among those with whom she associates, Myra is reckoned a friend of true worth. In the future, she hopes to further her interests in the commercial field and embark upon a career as a private secretary. Our best wishes are with you, Myra. May you reach the top of the ladder of success. Doris Beatrice Violette A true friend is forever a friend. Shorthand Club— 4 Honor Roll—4 Although Dot is one of the quietest girls of the class, her quiet ways and ready smile have drawn many friends to her and she has always justified their amity. She enjoys a good book or moving pic¬ ture and is interested in baseball, ice-skating and dancing. “Dot” is always cheerful, an able worker and will lend a helping hand to anyone in distress. We are convinced that her steady reliability will reap her the fruits of success. Her ambition to be a bookkeeper receives the approbation and goo dwishes of her classmates. Lawrence Edward Hayden Larry Larry returned in 1945 from the armed forces to graduate with the class of ’46 and we are proud to have him graduate among our number. Although his stay with us has been short, we have come to appreciate his personality. The former aviation cadet originally came to S. H. S. from Bristol County Agri¬ cultural School. Of an athletic turn of mind, Larry specializes particularly in track. He has followed a general course and has been a prominent figure at social affairs. In March of ’44 he left the school and received a pilot’s basic training at Macon, Georgia. We wish you the best of luck, Larry, and hope that you become the prosperous businessman you aspire to be.
