TTlason Vice-Principal Greatness and goodness are not means ,— but end si Hath she not always treasures and friends? In appreciation of her twenty-five years of service with Somerset High School, we are dedicating this page to Miss Marie Elizabeth Greene. It is truly a very small token of our - esteem for the years of service Miss Greene has given us. Miss Greene graduated from Framingham Teachers College in 1921, and began teaching at the high school in Somerset Village. When the disastrous fire occurred in 1935, she carried on in the basement of the Village School, traveling from there to the new Somerset High School in the Centre. She has taught, during these twenty-five years, Civics, Geography, Home Economics, French, Biology, and General Science. We owe our sincere thanks and greatest respect to this teacher who has given unbroken attention to her teaching career at Somerset High School. aff °f Memoirs XI Editor Phyllis Walker Assistant Editor Robert McClary Associate Editors Beatrice Bienvenue Gertrude Curt Mary Fitzgerald Joan Linley Doris Mello Jean Sanborn Charles Tompkins Constantine Wallace Abbott Wilson Business Manager Joseph Rosolowski Assistant Anthony Amaral John Countouriotis Vernon Faber Harrison George Managers Albert Hibbert Elmer Leno James Martin William Sullivan Four years of our lives have been spent at Somerset High School and we, the Senior Class of 1948, are now looking ahead. We are planning for future security and happiness in the world of tomorrow. When we reach our goals we will look back on our high school years, and they will appear as part of a dream— a dream in which the basic foundations of our lives were formed. We have enjoyed being a part of the great family of Somerset High School and appreciate the many valuable lessons we have been taught during this time. However, the great moment has come when Somerset High days are over, and all that remain are memories.

In the fall of September, 1944, we, as timid Freshmen, entered the halls of Somerset High School. New faces! new programs! new everything! but after a while we became accustomed to the steady rush and settled down to elect our class officers under the able direction of Mr. Francis McHugh. Our leaders for that year were: President, Joseph Rosolowski Vice-President, Mary Fitzgerald Secretary, Doris Booth Treasurer, John Simbrom Girl Councillor, Jacqueline Manning Boy Councillor, Albert Hibbert Our first venture into the social spotlight was the Spring Hop, sponsored by our class in April. This dance was a complete success, and its organization was praised by both the faculty and upper classmen. Among the many other social functions at; Somerset High this year were the original Sadie Hawkins’ Day and a formal Winter Carnival. The revival of the Narry League and also the appointment of Mr. Harry Boudakian as Coach and Physical Education Director highlighted the sports world of S. H. S. Almost immediately the faculty and students realized that their well trained Boudakianmen would soon put the name of Somerset High in broad headlines. When June approached, it seemed impossible that our first year at S. H. S. was nearing an end. Many friendships had been formed, and it appeared inevitable that our class would continue showing promise—and fulfilling that promise. Sophomore Year After the summer months we again entered the corridors of Somerset High. As lofty Sophomores, we took pleasure in looking down upon the new class of Freshmen. However, the wind was knocked out of our sails at our first class meeting when Mr. O’Toole explained the literal translation of the word Sophomore,” and I quote, Wise fools.” With Mr. William Newman as class advisor, we elected the follow¬ ing officers for our 1945-46 season at Somerset High: President, Robert McClary Vice-President, Mary Fitzgerald Secretary, Phyllis Walker Treasurer, George Snyder Girl Councillor, Gertrude Curt Boy Councillor, Anthony Amaral The first move to be made by us as Sophomores was that of selling Christmas cards. Phyllis Walker was the able chairman of this sale which started us on the road to financial success. In December our class sponsored the Holly Hop, S. H. S.’s annual Christmas Dance. With outstanding decorations highlighted by a massive Christmas tree, this socal affair was regarded as one of the most successful of the year. Mr. Harry Johnson succeeded Mr. Newman as our class advisor in March, 1946. Under his excellent leadership the third spotlight activity in our high school career, the Sophomore Circus, proved an immense social success. Dancing was enjoyed by all ’neath the big top” formed by gayly colored streamers; caged animals, picturesque clowns, and typical circus performers also adorned the walls of this miniature carnival. The recently organized Boudakianmen proved the abilities of themselves and their new coach by winning the Narry League Championship in both football and basketball. This, the first season of Harry Boudakian’s coaching, saw our team in the semi-finals of the Class C Eastern Massachusetts’ Basket¬ ball Tournament held for the first time, in the Boston Garden. A day at Fort Phoenix, Fairhaven, the first class outing to be organized by a lower class, brought our successful Sophomore year to a joyous close. Junior Year As proud upperclassmen, we began our Junior year with much initiative and enthusiasm. Under the direction of Mr. Harry Johnson, class advisor, and the following officers, we immediately began the greatest social year of our high school career: President, Robert McClary Vice-President, Doris Mello Secretary, Phyllis Walker Treasurer, John Countouriotis Girl Councillor, Cynthia Greene Boy Councillor, Abbott Wilson Soon after the year got underway, the Shawomet Hop, a unique social affair, was sponsored by our class with the Nantucket football squad, cheerleaders, and supervisors as special guests of Somerset High. Following this highly praised event, the Junior Bridge and Whist Party” was next on our social calendar. Prizes, highlighted by a huge basket of fruit, were awarded to the lucky winners. Next came the annual Winter Carnival,” this year under the direction of our class. The social peak of the Christmas season, this dance proved to be a gala affair and was certainly enjoyed by all. On January 11, the Junior Carnival, an unusual affair with strict carnival decorations and activities, was held in the cafeteria and auditorium. Everyone took part in and enjoyed the many games of skill offered on the gayly decorated Carnival Midway. This dance brought many compliments praising the originality of our class. In the Somerset High Sports World, the Boudakianmen easily copped the Narry League Basketball crown. Thus, for the second consecutive year, the Blue Raiders figuratively raided” the Boston Garden. They immediately established themselves as the classiest team in ’47 competition; however, the Provincetown jinx” proved too strong, and Somerset again bowed gloriously in the semi-finals. Finally, the long-awaited day arrived—we, as Juniors, were the proud receivers of shiny, gold class rings. How eager and pleased we were to sport the symbol of our school and to show our prestige to others. Preparation for the Senior Prom” was by far the most exciting ac¬ tivity of the year. After a committee meeting composed of Junior and Senior delegates, the decoration committee began work on the selected motif. A colonial mansion adorned the brightly-lighted stage, and the dancing took place on the lawn of a Southern formal garden. The Class of 1947 ex¬ tremely appreciated this farewell social in their honor. The Harvard Book Award, presented annually to a Junior boy, was this year received by Joseph Rosolowski. Others who brought honors to our class were Robert McClary and George Snyder, who were the American Legion delegates to Boys’ State, held at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. We closed a happy and most successful third year with the second class picnic at Fort Phoenix. Although it wasn’t quite swimming” weather, everyone spent a joyous last” day together as members of the 1947 Junior class. Senior Year September 3, 1948!—the dawn of a new school year, our last at Somerset High. It seemed impossible, yet it was true, that we had finally obtained the highest level in our high school career—the Senior year. Under the direction of our new advisor, Miss Ruth Mason, class officers were elected as follows: President, Robert McClary Vice-President, Doris Mello Secretary, Phyllis Walker Treasurer, John Countouriotis Girl Councillor, Gertrude Curt Boy Councillor, Oswald Mayes We then proceeded with the many memorable events of the year. The first of these was the Freshman reception, sponsored by our class, with decorations depicting an old-fashioned schoolhouse. The many who attended this affair pronounced it an immense success. In November, the Memoirs XI staff was appointed, and work was begun immediately. Phyllis Walker received top honors as Editor, with Robert McClary as her assistant; Joseph Rosolowski was given the task of Business Manager. The operetta, H. M. S. Pinafore,” sponsored by the S. A. A., was the big event for December. Two members of the Senior class, Joseph Rosolowski and William Sullivan, had leading parts, while others were either in the chorus or on committees. Sports, again this year, reflected the excellent coaching of Harry Boudakian. The ’47 football squad copped the Narry League Championship by defeating our arch rival, Case High of Swansea. The Blue Raiders continued this victory trend by moving from fourth place to first in Narry League Basketball competition. Consequently, they journeyed to Boston Garden and, breaking the two year jinx of Provincetown, gained the Class C” Cham¬ pionship. Boston Garden week was a prelude to disaster—the Senior Orals. These dreaded exams passed relatively fast, however, because of the announcement issued in their midst about our coming graduation. Another remarkable social event was held before spring drew to a close; it was the ever-favorite Sadie Hawkins’ Day.” This gay affair, conducted so successfully by William Sullivan, was a repetition of a similar day sponsored while we were Freshmen. The last two months of high school were the busiest ever. Plans for the Class Banquet, Senior Prom, and Class Outing were interrupted daily by graduation rehearsals. The most memorable event of all four years was, obviously, Graduation Night, June 16, 1948. We were no longer Seniors—but Alumni!! Now, as I lay my pen aside and slowly close the cover on my treasure chest, the memories of our days spent at Somerset High are carefully tucked away—yet never to be forgotten. estament c asi yjJPitt and We, the Class of 1948 of Somerset High School, of the town of Somerset in the County of Bristol, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of a sound and disposing mind, to make, publish and declare this, of our own free will and accord, our last will and testament. We, the Class of 1948, bequeath to the Class of 1949, our ability to run very successful socials; may your treasury grow as large as we wish ours had grown. We, the staff of Memoirs XI, bequeath to the staff of Memoirs XII, our yearbook as a shining example of hard work and co-operation. I, Phyllis Walker, leave a large bottle of aspirins to next year’s Memoirs editor. I, Vernon Faber, bequeath my S. A. A. speech to the future treasurers; may it bring them as much success as it did me. I, Albert Hibbert, leave my great spelling ability to some unsuspecting Junior. To the teachers, I leave a crystal ball with which to decipher my writing. I, Anthony Amaral, leave my souped up jalopy to anyone foolish enough to drive it. I, Jean Sanborn, bequeath my horse, Smoky, to Coach Roudakian to be used as a charging machine by next year’s football team. I, Margaret Fitzgerald, leave the answers to my Senior orals to anyone in the Class of 1949 anxious to learn them. I, Roger Trudeau, leave a very useful gift, enough towels for the boys’ locker room. I, Robert McClary, leave my sports write-ups and score book to Jay Cuttle; may his interest in this field be as great as mine. I, Doris Booth, bequeath my winning” smile to the first girl in the Class of 1949 to become engaged. I, Beatrice Shaw, leave my purple ink to help add variety to the mono¬ tonous pile of English IV themes Mr. Kilgrew has to correct. I, John Countouriotis, leave my broad shoulders and athletic build to John Guyer; may he someday become a football captain. I, Jacqueline Manning, leave my scotch tape and crepe paper to future Decoration Committee Chairmen. I, Jean Fairclough, bequeath my lab key to Mr. Johnson—he has it all the time anyway. I, Constantine Wallace, leave my Groucho Marx outfit for use at future parties; may they have as much fun with it as we had. I, Mary Fitzgerald, leave my Pepsi-Cola Scholarship Test to next year’s unnamed three—you’ll be sorry! I, Jacqueline Sherman, leave my black pocketbook to the entire school, maybe then someone will be able to hang on to it. I, Norman Patricio, bequeath my numerous cartoons to add a humorous touch to Coach’s room. I, Joseph Rosolowski, bequeath my secret formula for making hydrogen to future Chemistry students—beware of the consequences! I, Doris Fairclough, bequeath my freckles to Joan Fredenburg; she may have them for I have had them long enough. I, William Sullivan, leave my vim, vigor, and vitality to liven up the Chemistry lab on a rainy day. We, Hibbert and Snyder, leave our snappy basketball team as a symbol of Somerset High’s great sportmanship and athletic ability. We have heretofore ascribed our names and affixed our seal this ninth day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty- eight. A golden ray of dawning sunshine gradually crept across my face and quickly snatched me from the Land of Nod. I glanced at the clock, then at the calendar, and my astonished eyes read June 9, 1958, a week before our class reunion. And I, the organizer of this great event, had completely forgotten to arrange any of the particulars. I dashed toi the phone, and Lois McAtee quickly connected me with long distance. The Pan American Airlines, your party, sir,’’ was the clear-voiced reply that I heard from none other than Grace Doucette, who was also working for the New England Telephone Company. Frank Trainor, the chief aviation engineer for the P. A. A., answered my call. When I told him my predicament, he referred me to Stewardess Jacqueline Manning, who has a pull with the president of the airlines, Otis Manchester, whose able secretary is Barbara Ploski. With Jacky’s influence we acquired a fleet of airplanes to bring the members of the Class of 1948 from the four corners of the world, back to dear old Somerset High. The first leg of our flight is to Minsk, Russia, where the Engineer¬ ing Company of Countouriotis, Wilson, and Faber is building a chain of theatres owned by Elmer Leno. While in Russia, we stop at the Moscow Peace Conference, which is being covered by Foreign Correspondent Robert McClary. Joseph Rosolowski, who is advising the conference on Atomic power; his private secretaries, Beatrice Bienvenue and Gertrude Curt; Charles Tompkins, who is acting as the United States Mathematician; and his secre¬ taries, Irene Clarkson and Doris Mello, also board our super cruiser, and we are whisked away to Gay Paris.’’ Here William Sullivan has his photographic salon, assisted by Barbara Guertin and Margaret Fitzgerald. Marion Mosher, their stunning model, has for her designer, the well-known fashionist, Cynthia Greene. As we head for London, we sight the S. S. Memoirs, designed by Albert Hibbert and Constantine Wallace. Commanded by Harrison George, with Jeremiah Perreira and John DeCambra as his mates, this superb ship is seen lazily steaming along the English Channel. Our flagship glides into West¬ minister Airfield, where Roger Trudeau, the prominent dental surgeon, and his secretary, Shirley Barlow, are ready to board the Magic Carpet” to be transported back to the place of high school friendships. Our pilot, Robert Ironfield, turns the nose of the plane eastward and heads for distant China, where Doctor Crawford, his nurses Priscilla Marsh and Jacqueline Sherman, and his secretary, Mildred Varao, are aiding the plague-ridden, hill-country Chinese. As we head for the States, we stop at Melbourne, Australia, where Jean Sanborn, first-class veterinarian, and Phyllis Walker, chief laboratory tech¬ nician, own the Green Meadows Ranch.” We cross the Pacific and land at San Francisco, where a taxi is sent to Hollywood and, Vine, the corner at which Doris Booth and Doris Fairclough have a hairdressing establishment entitled Chez Doris.” Before we take off, we also pick up Virginia Golz and Marjorie Mendes who are writing the script for Jean Fairclough’s next musical comedy co-starring Anthony Amaral and his Orchestra. While we are passing over Yellowstone National Park, one of our planes swoops down to pick up Robert Plamondon, Chief Conservation Officer for the United States Forestry Service. On to Chicago, where Lorraine Lacerda, the news reporter who will cover our reunion, and her assistant, Gloria Arruda, are to be found. Working for the same nation-wide newspaper is Norman Patricio, the famous car¬ toonist. The skyline of Detroit appears on the horizon, and we settle down at the Coubrom” airport which was designed by Roland Coulombe with the electrical work done by John Simbrom. At this stop, the second member of the P. A. A. Stewardess’, Ruth Gallagher, serves us a lunch prepared by their magnificient chef, Robert Kydd. A ride was offered to Cyril Amarelo, but he preferred to drive one of the many trucks owned by The Armstrong and Valero Trucking Service. As we pass over the Connecticut Valley, we receive a radio message from one of our other planes in Hawaii, informing us that George Snyder is playing an exhibition game with an All-Star United States team. James Martin, his business manager, and Oswald Mayes, his bodyguard, have ac¬ companied George to these tropical isles. We turn north-east and head for New York City, where Joan Linley and Mary Fitzgerald have a well-established business bureah with their first two clients being Barbara Southworth, famed Occupational Therapist, and Loure- val Carvalho, a big business” man. Agnes Tavares and Helen Paskowski have recently opened a Public Service Bureau, which is already one of the largest in the metropolis. In the adjoining building we find Beatrice Shaw’s Interior Decoration Salon, a smart and settled business known throughout the East. A few hours later as we land at Boston Airfield, I hurry from the plane to a public phone. After having Claire Goss, another New England Telephone operator, efficiently clear the line to Somerset for me, I report my successful arrangements to our former principal and present reunion director, Mr. Francis J. Kilgrew. Thus, we have gathered the graduates of the Class of 1948 from far and wide and brought them, each a credit to his Alma Mater, back to the reunion at dear old Somerset High School.

M. S. Pinafore.” The members were: First row—R. McClary, D. Mello, Secretary P. Greene, President E. Valero, Treasurer V. Faber, Vice-President M. Rivard, P. Walker, J. Gountouriotis. Second row—J.

Mayes, R. O’Connell, C. Carpenter, C. Lynch. JCibrary Jfls ssociates The Library Associates are the librarians of Somerset High School, organized as a club and dividing their many duties among themselves under co-chairmen, who this year have been Marion Mosher and Phyllis Walker. Keeping track of the nearly three thousand one hundred books and cata¬ logs in the Somerset High Library and of the pupils to whom they are loaned, is a labor of great detail. Their work is hard and never definitely completed until the last novel is checked off in June. The year is always climaxed with the librarians’ banquet and theatre party in June. This year’s group included: Seated—Cataloger J. Linley, Co-chairman M. Mosher, Mr. Hart, Co- chairman P. Walker, Treasurer J. Manning. Standing—M. Sullivan, E. Soares, M. Travers, E. Bouley, Secretary D. Booth, J. Duckworth, P. Bradley, M. Crawford, V.

Among this year’s activities were ' une representation’, Peace on Earth’’; an outing to Lincoln Park, where everyone enjoyed an evening of ' patinant a roulettes’; and a unique initiation of eligible French I students. The most outstanding event was the ' soiree dansante’ entitled the Mardi Gras.’’ Many appeared in costume, and all enjoyed being ruled by the Rex” and his queen. The members of the club were: Seated—Vice-President P. Marsh, Treasurer E. Leno, President J. San¬ born, Secretary P. Walker, Librarian M. Mendes. Standing—J. Linley, W. Sullivan, J. Manning, J.

The renewal of their motto Truth Through Knowledge is always an important event at the first meeting of the Knights of the Round Table, launching them on to another active year. Under the wise councilship of Merlin, the Knights presented two assembly programs; one was a debate dealing with the Taft-Hartley Bill and the other a historical sketch, written by the members, based on the great documents of Democracy found on the Freedom Train. Plans were formulated for the presentation of one of these at Dartmouth and Dighton High Schools. The members included: Seated—D. Traynor, Sir Launcelot; Treasurer J.

The Breeze” publishes a balanced combination of serious and hu¬ morous articles and encourages all forms of literary expression. Found in its columns are serial stories, sports, gossip, and on-the-spot news reporting. This year, cartoons were added, and contests were held to build up its sub¬ scription and popularity. In fact, The Breeze” has blown a breath of fresh air through the corridors of Somerset High. The members of this year’s staff were: Seated—K. Perry, Business Manager E. Leno, Literary Editor J.

Subscriptions to business pamphlets and magazines are purchased in order that these students may read and discuss this material. The meetings of the Shorthand Clubs are held the first Monday of each month during the classroom periods. During this year the selling of candy, a cake sale, and a dance were projects sponsored by these clubs for the advancement of their treasury. The officers fo r the year were: Seated—Senior officers; Secretary Helen Paskowski, Vice-President Doris Fairclough, President Gertrude Curt, Treasurer Agnes Tavares. Standing—Junior officers; Secretary Mary Burns, President Catherine Quental, Miss Ruth Mason, Treasurer Helen Lucian, Vice- President Mabel Rivard. (Orchestra The school orchestra, under the supervision of Miss Eddy, has helped, with its musical selections, to make many an evening enjoyable. On Novem¬ ber; tenth the members took part in the Education Week program by adding their melody and rhythm to the event. December twelfth was a red letter ' day, when the pupils of Somerset High presented the operetta, ' H. M. S. Pinafore.” The accompaniment by the school orchestra greatly enhanced the success of the production. The graduation music was also handled splend¬ idly by Miss Eddy and her fine group of instrumentalists. Although they go unheralded, our deepest thanks are extended to them in appreciation for the satisfaction that their music has brought. Members of the 1947-48 orchestra were: First row—T. Parent, D. Booth, P. Marsh, W. Dickinson, J. Gonsalves, Second row—J. DiSanti, K. Wheelock, J. Barboza, H. Veloza, M. Buote, W. Johnson, R. Broughton, W. True. Third row—E. Pacheco, L. Gold, A. Amaral, J. O’Connell, J. Gagnon, C. Harrington. Absent when picture was taken—R. Hart. eu Consisting of an exceptionally large number of girls, the Glee Club of Somerset High School had a successful and interesting year. Meetings were held weekly for practice sessions and enjoyment. Songs, both classical, and semi-classical, were sung, and the girls were many times complimented on their ability to harmonize in two and three parts. The club also assisted the graduating class in rendering selections on the night of June 16, 1948. Officers who served during 1947-48 were: Seated—Secretary Cynthia Greene, President Doris Booth. Standing—Treasurer Doris Mello, Librarians Claire Goss and Jean Sanborn. ’ T The Special Glee Club of Somerset High School consists of a group of girls who are chosen for their exceptionally fine voices. These girls are chosen during their Freshman year by our able music director, Miss Eddy. This year’s group high-lighted many assembly programs and entertain¬ ments, looking very neat in their navy blue robes and white collars. Their activities also included a vocal concert at the Pottersville Parent-Teacher’s Night; participation in ”H. M. S.

Our cheerleaders, eight of the most energetic Junior and Senior girls, are seen at all football and basketball games leading the crowd in hearty cheers. Capably lead by Co-heads Joan Linley and Jacqueline Manning and directed by Miss Worton, these girls possess the spirit and vitality that make them one of the Narry League’s best groups.

Members of this year’s squad were: Kneeling—Co-heads; Joan Linley and Jacqueline Manning. Standing—Colette Michaud, Janice Duckworth, Joan Fredenburg, Miss Barbara Worton, Marion Mosher, Cynthia Greene, and Phyllis Walker.

U N D E F -- r ' -wv ■ 1 8 .. i 0 i m % rai f 27 s wm 1 : • t f %tr s I SFootb all Squad — 1 947 The Blue Raiders of 1947 will be long remembered by Somerset High sports fans. Led by their inspiring Captain, John Countouriotis—All-Narry League tackle, they emerged from a strenuous nine game schedule with eight triumphs and one tie. Not only did they win the Narry League Championship, but also they were in second place in thd Class D State rankings. This team may well become known as Coach Boudakian’s football masterpiece. Among their outstanding victories were: the thriller won in the last fading seconds on far-away Nantucket, the! 13-0 decision over Dighton which atoned for the 1946 upset, and the season’s finale with their arch-rival, Case, won by Somerset, 6-0. In addition to Captain Countouriotis, Ozzie Mayes, left end; A1 Hibbert, fullback; and George Snyder, quarterback; were selected to represent Somerset on the All-Narry League eleven. George, the outstanding school-boy passer in Bristol County, was also chosen as a reserve back on the All-Bristol team. Their record bears out the fact that the 1947 Blue Raiders may be the finest to have ever represented Somerset High School. Somerset . . 12 Nantucket ....

Always thinking of his boys’ welfare and al¬ ways striving to make them better players—and men. He will never be forgotten by the Class of 1948. CAPTAIN JOHN COUNTOURIOTIS, Left Tackle— ’48—Johnny was the Narry League’s outstanding lineman for two years, 1946 and 1947. An inspired player in the toughest games, he led his team to a championship by his splendid, rugged performances. ALBERT COMEAU, Left End—’49—Although one of the lightest linemen, AI made up what he lack¬ ed in weight by speed and drive. A tricky pass- receiver, he may develop into a scoring threat next year. CHARLES McCLELLAN, Left Guard—’49—Brud’s scrappy offensive play and sparkling defensive work were respected by all opposing backs. His height and heft were well appreciated and will certainly be missed by next year’s club. EDWARD WHALEN, Center—’49—Ed was a great center on offense and a determined line backer on defense. His dependable work accounted in no small measure for the team’s very successful year. EDWARD VALERO, Right Guard—’48—Ed had all the traits of a good lineman—courage, a sure blocker and rugged tackier. He was always crashing through to break up plays. CHARLES CARPENTER, R ; ght Tackle—’50—Charlie is only a Sophomore and that means trouble for enemy backs for two more years. Immovable on defense and a crushing blocker, he was also a tire¬ less worker and played hard every minute. OSWALD MAYES, Right End—’48—Ozzie was, be¬ yond a doubt, the finest defensive end in the Narry League. A bruising terror in his defensive play, Ozzie consistantly crashed through to nail opposing backs for losses. GEORGE SNYDER, Quarterback—’48—The fabulous exploits of quarterback “Sid” will never be forgotten by any spectator. A brilliant signal caller and the most sensational passer in Bristol County, he was also an elusive ball carrier. Clutch touchdowns, by land or air, were his specialty. SYLVESTER VELELA, Left Halfba.ck-’50—Sy’s flash¬ ing cleats ripped off huge chunks of yardage as he outran all pursuers. One of the team’s best ball carriers, Sy was also a fine line backer. NORMAN PATRICIO, Right Halfback—’48—Norm’s weaving running style was his major weapon; he ex¬ celled in tricky dashes from reverse plays and, above all, in snagging touchdown passes. His speed dazzled opponents and spectators alike. ALBERT HIBBERT, Fullback—’48—In his first and last year of football at Somerset High, Al soon dis¬ tinguished himself. As a blocker he was indespens- ible; his polished tackling drew praise as did his relentless slashes through the opposing line. CONSTANTINE WALLACE, End and Guard— ' 48— Connie was a great player; he knew both end and guard positions, thoroughly. Being a scrappy and re¬ lentless performer, he played well in every tussle. LOUIS LE COMPTE, Tackle—’49—“Big Louie” was a powerhouse tackle and developed rapidly throughout the season. Because of his stiff fighting spirit, his hole was never open. Next year he will be a certain standout. WILLIAM SULLIVAN, Manager—’’48—Bill, whose duties were never really over, was a dependable, loyal manager. His many labors for the team were always appreciated—his was a tough job, well done. MASS. Class (Basketball Squad — 1948 The greatness of the 1948 Blue Raider basketball team, acclaimed to be the finest ever to represent Somerset High, was not based on their achieve¬ ments alone. Even though they won a third consecutive Narry League Championship for Coach Boudakian, and later, in the Tech Tourney held at the Boston Garden, were crowned Class C” Champs of Eastern Massachusetts, it was the courage, determination, and will to win, which they showed in every game, that earned them recognition as a truly great team. It was this spirit that enabled them to climb up from fourth pla ce in the Narry League in early January, to first place late in February. The Boudakianmen started slowly, winning their opening games, suffering defeats at the hands of Dighton, and Diman Voke, and then beginning the amazing victory streak of nine games that brought Somerset High another hoop title. The amazing” part of this series of wins was the way in which the Raiders won their games; they soon learned the difficult art of coming from, behind to triumph in thrillers, several times being forced to freeze” the ball in the final moments. Then the critical period was over; their defense improved, and their scoring power became more pro- CHAMPS nounced as they ran roughshod over opponents in the last three tussles of the regular season. This was an indication of how they were to fare at the Boston extravaganza. Beyond question, the quality that made the 1948 team great was their refusal to admit defeat. At one of their first practice sessions, Coach Bouda- kian uttered a phrase that became the team’s motto- You can’t beat a team that won’t be beaten.” BASKETBALL PERSONAL WRITEUPS COACH HARRY BOUDAKIAN— Teaches winning basketball; proof of which are the three consecutive Narry League Championships, as well as the three consecutive bids to the Class C, Boston Garden Tournament. He stresses tight zone defense and a relentless, fast breaking attack. CO-CAPTAIN GEORGE SNYDER, Forward—’48— One of the finest players in the Narry League. Was voted on All-Narry basketball teams for four years. He set a high scoring record of 43 points in one game. A great ball handler, he plays extremely well in a clutch. CO-CAPTAIN ALBERT HIRBERT, Guard—’48—A1 Hibbert, backbone of the Raiders’ defense for two years, is known for his rugged play and back- board work. An excellent ball handler, Al’s ability was recognized by his election to one of the All- Narry guard positions for the 1948 season. SYLVESTER VILELA, Center— 50—Only a Soph¬ omore, Sy quickly drew praise for his slick play¬ making and defensive rebound work. He is also a valuable man to have as a steady player. JAIMES MELLO, Guard —’51—Jim, a first year man, soon won a starting berth. A cool, poised player, he is equally adept at snagging rebounds or sink¬ ing long shots. ARTHUR SOARES, Forward —’49—Art, a crafty floor-man with a “dead-eye” from side court, is a Junior whose passing and teamwork show great promise. His flashy “Garden” play won him the election to the captaincy of next year’s Blue Raiders. DAVID TRAYNOR, Forward —’49—Tall, lanky and loose, Dave possesses an accurate, outer-bucket set shot. Dangerous beneath the hoop, Dave, now a Junior, is bound to star next year. ALBERT COMEAU, Forward —’49—Pivot man for the “Gold Dust Trio,” consisting of Soares, Sanderson, and himself, A1 is a tireless, capable player for the fluid position of right forward. CARL SANDERSON, Forward— ’49—Playmaker de¬ luxe, Sandy plays equally well at either forward position. A versatile, scrappy player, he will be a certain standout for next year’s club. HARRISON GEORGE, Guard— ’48—Was an instant success at the outset of the season as a high scoring forward, but Coach Boudakian valued his service more on defense where his backcourt work is steady and reliable. NORMAN PATRICIO, Guard —’48—Norm came out during the midseason of his Senior year and showed very definite promise. He was given a starting posi¬ tion, but illness hampered his career. WILLIAM SULLIVAN, Manager—’48—Bill is one of the team’s most loyal rooters who. is always willing to do anything for the benefit of “his and Coach’s boys.” (Boston Qarden — ig 8 The terrific competition which the Raiders met during their Narry schedule was fine preparation for the Eastern Mass. Interscholastic Tech Tournament, and their superiority was soon evident. Two other classy Somerset High quintets had entered this tourney in previous years, and both had suffered the same fate, being eliminated by Provincetown in the semi-finals. This year’s club, well-acquainted with clutch” tactics, finally won that shining crown which the others just couldn’t reach. In their opening contest, the Raiders trounced Dracut High, 46-32, and revenged their predecessors in the semi-finals by edging Provincetown, 43-33. The Blue and White hoopsters simply over-whelmed Oliver Ames, 53-26, in the finals; a wonderful victory which brought to Somerset High its first Class C” Eastern Mass. Championship. Among the many highlights of the three day scramble were: Archie Soares’ amazing one-man offensive in the third period of the Cape Codders’ game, A1 Hibbert’s smooth defensive play, and George Snyder’s sensational scoring antics. The steady, consistently fine performances by Jim Mello and Sy Vilela, two players who never received the praise they deserved, aided immensely in the Raiders’ annexation of the Class C” Crown. Co-captains and All-Narry teammates, George Snyder and A1 Hibbert, were honored by being chosen on the Class C” All-Tourney team; Cap¬ tain-elect Archie Soares was also named. Incidently, Snyder, with 53 points, and Soares, with 45 points, were first and second in tourney scoring. NEW ENGLAND’S FOREMOST PHOTOGRAPHERS OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHERS OF THE CLASS OF 1948 J. E.
