KINEAVY In recognition of services rendered to Somerset High in the past three years as assistant coach and teacher of American History and Latin, we take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to Mr. John F. Kineavy. Your understanding and friendly counsel have won you a place in the hearts of all, and as a token of our gratitude for your unlimited efforts towards the betterment of Somerset High School, we, the class of 1951, dedicate MEMOIRS XIV to you. 2 MR. Since the year 1951 will mark the beginning of his twenty-fifth year of service to the Somerset School System, we, the class of 1951, dedicate this page to Mr. Austin J. O ' Toole. Mr. O ' Toole graduated from Fitchburg Teachers College in June of 1926 and received his Bachelor of Education Degree in 1931 from Bridgewater Teachers College. In 1935, he received his Master of Education Degree from Boston College. He was assigned to his first teaching position at the Potters- ville eighth grade in 1926, and a year later became principal of the Village School. After the disastrous high school fire of 1935, he was named acting principal of the high school. During the emergency ' ' TOOLE period of 1937, he was named principal of the new high school and remained in that capacity until 1946, when he assumed his duties as Superintendent of Schools. Mr. O ' Toole ' s philosophy of education has guided him in promoting the growth of our school system. He believes that instruction should bring about the harmonious development of all of the faculties of the individual student. This has been his constant aim, and we have benefited. We thank him for his loyalty to the Somerset School Department and wish him health and happi¬ ness in the difficult years ahead. 3 MR. MORRIS MISS GREENE MR.

Our initial task was to elect our class officers. Mr. McNulty was our advisor and with his help we elected for President, Ray Fitzsimmons; Vice-president, Shirley France; Secretary, Nancy George; Treasurer, Bob O ' Connell; Boy Councillor, Chet Lynch; Girl Councillor, Claire Bienvenue. We really estab¬ lished ourselves when Coach Boudakian discovered the many athletes in our class. It was a good year for Somerset on the athletic field. By beating Case on Turkey Day, we took the Narry League championship in football. Basketball found George Snyder and Al Hibbert bringing their team to Boston Garden to snag the Class C championship. It was the first year for the Narry Track Meet which was held at Dighton. The op eretta H. M. S. Pinafore , under the direction of Miss Eddy, was a huge success, as was our Frosh Dance. We started our second year feeling much more familiar with the school and its functions than we had as Freshmen. With the help of Miss Sullivan, our advisor, the following students were elected as officers: President, Bob O ' Connell; Vice-president, Nancy George; Secretary, Dot Lee; Treasurer, Jake Lee; Girl Councillor, Kathleen Perry; Boy Councillor, Ralph Cross. As far as sports went, our baseball team won the Narry League championship and traveled to Fenway Park to be beaten by Swampscott. On October 22, the music clubs of S. H. S. got together and filled the hall with the rollicking music of Melody Night. The operetta, Pirates of Penzance , tested our vocal and acting ability in a manner which rendered satisfaction to us and our appreciative audience. Two clubs were started that year — the Science Club for members of Mr. Westcott ' s biology class, and the Dime-A-Week, which helped wonderfully to ease the Seniors ' financial problems. It was Harris vs. Eddy when Somerset and Dighton exchanged music assemblies. Our dance, the Winter Carnival, proved to be a social and financial success. Everyone was anxious to start the second half of his high school career HISTORY after such an auspicious beginning. With Miss Walsh as our advisor, we buckled down and had a sensational year. The officers were: President, Jay Cuttle; Vice-president, Kathleen Perry; Secretary, Phyllis Gell; Treasurer, Bob O ' Connell; Girl Councillor, Joyce Maggiacomo; Boy Councillor, Curt Robin¬ son. Our football team lost but one game, and that to Dighton; for four years the Townies have had a jinx on us as far as the gridiron goes. Shirley May France put Somerset on the map with her attempts to swim the English Channel. She missed again on her second attempt by six miles, but we still think of Shirley as a champion. S. A. A. elections came to a climax with Nancy George as Vice-president and Barbara Barnett as Secretary. The S. A. A. held a dance on December 17; later on, in April, the Student Council delegates of the high schools of Southeastern Massachusetts met here at Somerset High School. Another dance was staged, featuring Madam Morgue, who added an eerie atmosphere, and thus was scored one more Junior success. The most important of all the year ' s events was the arrival of the class rings, and the Junior-Senior Prom, which featured an aquatic theme, ran a close second. September sixth, nineteen hundred and fifty, marked the opening of a year we ' ll never forget. With more and more responsibilities coming our way, we Seniors established a sense of independence, maturing enough to know our own minds, and acquiring the knack of self-expression. Miss Mason was our advisor and we elected the following officers: President, Bob Ferre¬ ira; Vice-president, Dot Lee; Secretary, Phyllis Gell; Treasurer, Donald Simon; Girl Councillor, Mae Kiley; Boy Councillor, Acacio Oliveira. Our three dances, the Freshman Acquaintance Social, Winter Carnival, and the tradi¬ tional Sadie Hawkins Day were well attended by both Somerset pupils and students from other schools. Before long, we were signing pictures, trying to put into words all the fun we had had together. Many of us realized that graduation day would separate us — each to go his own way, but all vowed to never forget the four grand years spent at Somerset High School.

He invited me to come to New York to witness the first demonstration of a television innovation which was invented by Dennis Pereira. I quickly packed my bags and was whisked to the airport by one of Barbara Wilson ' s Crash-Proof Taxis. I was met at the airport by Jerry Kadin, owner of Kadin Airlines. The pilots, Roland Demers and Raymond Fitzsimmons, together with hostess Louise Golz, provided a most enjoyable trip, and before I knew it, we had landed at La Guardia Airport in New York City . As I alighted from the plane, my gaze wandered to the opposite runway. There, struggling to unload two ferocious tigers from a cargo plane were the two famous big game hunters, Robert Ferreira and Donald Simon. Making my way out of the airport, I ran into Jay Cuttle, the news commentator. He offered to take me on a tour of the big town. As most visitors do, I asked to be taken to the United Nations Headquarters at Lake Success. Joan Butler, receptionist, greeted us cordially and told us to go right into the Assembly Hall, as the Security Council was about to convene. As we walked down the hall, we saw Barbara Barnett, French interpreter, busily at work. Dr. Martin Buote, chief atomic scientist at Los Alamos, was addressing the Council on ways to harness the atom for peacetime use. I was introduced to John Pavao, the science editor of Time magazine. He was sitting with John O. Guyer, Rand-McNally map maker, and Alton Broadhurst, roving editor of the Readers Digest. Departing from the UN, we went to the Fifth Avenue Tearoom, owned and operated by Marilyn Mendillo. Marilyn Rego, hostess, showed us to our table. After having a hearty meal, we stopped next door so that I could purchase souvenirs from Marion Biello ' s gift shop. Radio City Music Hall was the next stop, and I looked forward eagerly to meeting former Somerset High graduates. Robert Bibeau, famed gunsmith, was standing in line as we approached the ticket office, which was under the management of Helene Ober- man. As we entered the theater, Ralph Cross, famous floral designer, rushed by with set decorations. We reached our seats just as the spotlight fell on Claire Bienvenue, concert soprano, who offered three selections. Then the Rockettes, led by Beverly Hibbert, came on stage to put on their famous precision dance routine. Following the crowds out of the lobby, we ran into Lts. Warren Midwood and Curtis Robinson, of the. U. S. N., who were renewing old acquaintances with Yvette Bienvenue and Helen Shutt of the Waves. I asked to be taken to a night club, so my genial host promptly brought me to the Stork Club, now owned by Tommy Porter. Richard Fletcher and his Be Bop Five were making one of their rare personal appearances. As we looked around, we saw Phyllis Gell, General Manager of Chevrolet Division of General Motors, and Damon Rivard, leading men ' s fashion designer, closing a business deal. Leaving the Stork Club, we hopped a cab for Greenwich Village. The studio of Bob O ' Connell was our first stop. He was getting ready to leave for Paris in order to further 26 his artistic career. Just as we were saying farewell, Gildanna Wallace and Beverly Singleton, fashion designers for Vogue Magazine, came into the studio, weighted down with designs of the latest fall fashions. Our next encounter was with Richard Worton who was putting the finishing touches on his multi-million dollar tropical fishery. He suggested that we stop at the R. C. A. building. William Whalen and Adrien Bienvenue were conducting their Know Your Sport quiz program. Joyce Maggiacomo, station manager, took us on a tour of the building. Having a little spending money and feeling lucky, I asked to be taken to the Roosevelt Raceway. Anne Ormerod, champion sulky driver, was racing a horse owned by Charles Lacerda and Richard Mello. We found Marion Greeley working as publicity director of the track and Genevieve Pachurek as secretary-treasurer. We decided to visit the American Nurses Convention, for many Somerset graduates had entered this worthy profession. Joan Murphy, head nurse of the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, presided at the meeting. Kathleen Perry, world-renowned criminal lawyer, was guest speaker. Others in attendance were Carolese Burbage of the Leahy Clinic, Barbara Ann Cronan and Margaret Murphy of the Boston City Hospital, and Joyce Harrison and Anne Ormston of the Baker Memorial. Also present was Nancy George, director of public health in Alaska. En route to Wall Street, we passed the taxidermist shop of Al Laliberte, who had gained fame stuffing animals for the Smithsonian Institute. Arriving at Wall Street, we went to the brokerage firm of Armand Guillemette and Company. Josephine Lopes was office manager and Mae Kiley and Muriel Harrison were employed as chief accountants. It was getting late, so I bade my genial host goodbye and started for the New Yorker. However, I could not pass the Beauty Salon of Dot Lee, world-famous hair stylist, without a word of greeting. Since Fred Barlow, public accountant, held an office next door, he was included in the conversation. As I entered the lobby of the hotel, I saw Marilyn Jackson, who was now head of New York ' s elementary school system. Hermina Correia, desk clerk, showed me to Acacio ' s room. The television set was already in operation, and Dennis Pereira and his chief engineer, Joe Tavares, were busily puttering around with the various knobs. The game between the New York Knickerbockers and the Boston Celtics was in progress. Jake Lee, coach of the Celtics, had just sent Jim Mello into the contest to put the game on ice. Following the game, we watched movies of the past baseball season. Chet Lynch, now with the Yankees, was shown hitting a home run in a critical game with the Red Sox. After seeing many more color T. V. programs, I decided that I should be leaving for Somerset. Thanking Dennis and Acacio for the demonstration, I left for the airport. I suddenly realized as I settled myself in the plane that I had seen every member of the graduating class of 1951 in my abbreviated visit to New York. Back in Somerset once again, I stopped at Somerset High School to visit the Alma Mater once more. To my amazement, I found not one, but four buildings dotting the lot where Somerset High had once proudly stood. There were now two high schools and a junior high. Completing the plant were a Memorial Gym and a gigantic stadium. The enrollment had soared to 3,650. I couldn ' t help but wonder, as I stared at the most modern school system in Massachusetts, if the students possessed the same loyalty and school spirit that the class of ' 51 had had. If they did, they would certainly be a credit to the school — and to themselves. 27 SCHOOL LIFE ACTIVITIES STUDENT COUNCIL First Row, Left to Right: Bill Corderio, Irene Valley, Estelle Cheney — Secre¬ tary, George Lee — President, Martin Buote - Treasurer, Frances Cadorette — Vice-President, Marilyn Medeiros, Bud Vaillancourt.

The Student Council acts as the legislative body of our school government, and is the binding agent between students and faculty. With its four officers as directors, it is continually busy making laws and planning the social events for the year. The officers are elected by vote of the entire school. The Council is the board of directors of the Student Association. Delegates have been sent to District and state meetings. During this year it has accomplished many worthwhile activities for the good of the school. LIBRARIANS This busy group of girls, under the leadership of Miss Walsh, has done a wonderful job. Keeping an eye on over three thousand books is, as everyone will agree, no easy task, but the group has done just that, willingly and well. The librarians ' most difficult assignment is getting all the books in at the proper time, and at the end of the year checking each one. A banquet at the close of the school session is the only outing for the Library Associates, and everyone enjoys herself tremendously.

Under the direction of Mr. Gayzagian, the orchestra hopes to fulfill these duties. During the past year it has provided the musical background for many school and civic functions. BAND The Band, as everyone knows, has contributed much to the spirit at football games, pep rallies, and assemblies. It also plays at the Memorial Day parade.

Seated: Thomas Almy — Treasurer, Richard Bence — President, Kathleen Goss — Vice-President, Claudette Landry — Secretary. The class of 1952 opened its organizational activities by holding a dance with a superstition motif. Such things as black cats and ladders were used, because the date was Friday, the thirteenth. Several members of the 1950 football squad got their start in inter-scholastic com¬ petition during this first year. The outstanding members of the Freshman team were Brenden Hayden, Dick Bence, Chuck Cloutier, Jerry DeCosta, Bob DeCosta, and Dick Rego. During their Sophomore year, th e annual dance was held on April 14, 1950. A car¬ nival scene was the main theme of this jovial evening. The Juniors realized that the climax of their high-school days was rapidly approach¬ ing when they ordered their class rings, which were joyfully received in January. The most eagerly anticipated social event of the year is the Junior-Senior Prom, sponsored by the Junior Class. Under the direction of their able officers, the prom of 1951 will long be remembered in the minds of all who attended. The Juniors ' progress in past years illustrates the fact that they are a very enter¬ prising group and it is certain that they will continue to uphold the name of Somerset High School. 38 SOPHOMORES Standing: Shirley DeCosta — Girl Councillor, Marie Rogers — Vice-President. Seated: William Cordeiro — Treasurer, Robert Ayer — President, Philip Vaillancourt — Boy Councillor. Secretary Marilyn Medeiros was absent when this picture was taken. With the election of Robert Ayer as class president, and an excellent slate of offi¬ cers, the class of 1953 made a very auspicious start in Somerset High School. This group broke the previous record of enrollment for any freshman class. Not only in numbers but also in spirit is the Sophomore Class outstanding, as evidenced by its showing in the magazine drive sponsored by the Curtis Publishing Company. As sophomores, because of the outstanding work done the previous year, they again undertook the drive, but as a class project. While last year ' s results were extremely profitable to the school, this year ' s proved to be more successful. i In the recreational sphere the sophomores have sponsored several outstanding dances. Their initial social endeavor was Paradise Island, which had as its motif a tropical island surrounded by palm trees and calm waters. This class has participated in all phases of extra-curricular activities, being well represented in athletics, musical organizations, and general school functions. 40 i $ It II FRESHMEN Standing: Roald Cheney — Boy Councillor, Audrey Slade — Girl Councillor. Seated: James Doonan — Treasurer, Paul Ginalski — President, Ann Weeden — Vice-President, June Kadlec — Secretary. Graduating from the four grammar schools of Somerset in June 1950, the freshman class began a new life at Somerset High School. They have learned to forget their former rivalries and to work and play together in unison. A very important factor in determining the ultimate achievements of any class is the election of officers in the freshman year. This year ' s officers gained valuable experience as leaders of their respective classes in elementary school. President Paul Ginalski and Girl Councillor Audrey Slade graduated from Pottersville, while Vice-president Ann Weeden, Secretary June Kadlec, Treasurer Jimmy Doonan, and Boy Councillor Ronny Cheney are alumni of South School. The highlight of the year is the Freshman Dance, held in May. It is always a gala affair, recognized as an outstanding social event of the season. The members of this class have quickly learned to work together, and it is only through this spirit of cooperation that they have been able to achieve success in their various projects. If this unity of action continues throughout their high-school career, the Class of 1954 will long be remembered as one of the most versatile and progressive groups ever to leave Somerset High School. 42 43 SCHOOL m Jg i, — 4 — 4i ft || 1 k fl T HLET IC S CHEERLEADERS Under the leadership of Marilyn Mendillo and Nancy George, this group of peppy girls led the Somerset rooters at our football and basketball games. Whether the team was winning or not, they were always out front, enthusiastically cheering for the boys in the Blue and White. 46 FOOTBALL First Row, Left to Right: Chet Lynch, Damon Rivard, Dick Mello, Jake Lee, Cashew Oliveira, Butch Demers, Bob O ' Connell, Ray Fitzsimmons. Second Row: Mr. Kineavy — Assistant Coach, Bill Whalen — Student Manager, Charlie Cloutier, Brenden Hayden, Jack Balaguer, Bill Southworth, Dick Bence, Bill Burgess, Coach Boudakian. Last Row: Bob DeCosta, Norman Chace, Dick Rego, Jimmy Sherman, Emery Vaughn, Paul Ginalski, Ronald Harrison, Joe Viveiros, Earl Manchester. The 1950 squad of Somerset High School, ably coached by Harry Boudakian, cap¬ tured second place honors in the Narry Circuit. The Co-Captain combination of Jake Lee and Cashew Oliveira gave to the team a fighting spirit which characterized the play of the boys throughout the season. Jake, who is the quiet type, made the decisions, while talkative Cash made all the noise, and infused pep into his co-workers. The Blue and White, playing one of the most difficult schedules in the history of Somerset High, earned a record of six wins and three defeats. The Raiders started the season on the right foot, by upsetting favored Class C Mans¬ field by a score of 7-2. Somerset followed the Mansfield victory by defeating Hanover by a 13-0 margin. The most bitter setback in the Narry League was a heart-breaking 14-13 decision to Dighton High. Amid the sand dunes of Provincetown, the Boudakian- men sank the P-towners by an overwhelming 20-0 score. The first Narry League victory was at the expense of Diman Voke by a 32-18 verdict. Next on the Raiders ' list was the Little Green of Dartmouth, who submitted to a count of 13-6. The first non-Narry League loss was administered by an impressive Yarmouth eleven which, in the opinion of the team, was the roughest opponent encountered in three years of varsity play. The battling Blue and White were turned back by these Cape Codders to a score of 20-14. Although highly favored, the gridders of Falmouth High were shocked by the aggressive resistance of the underdog Raiders, who succumbed by a 21-7 score, which does not actually indi¬ cate the closeness of the game. The Somerset gridders, setting a scoring record for the annual Thanksgiving game, slaughtered the Case Cardinals by a convincing 50-0 score. This impressive victory over Case, our traditional rival, eased the pain felt by the loss of the Narry League title. 47 CHESTER LYNCH Herb , Somerset ' s scrappy scatback, is probably the team ' s best all-around player. He shines both on offense and defense, and when he gets off on one of his favorite end runs, he ' s off to the races! GEORGE LEE, Co-Captain Jake has been a consistently good play¬ er, always giving his utmost and never cracking when the pressure is greatest. Jake started as a sophomore, playing end, and was shifted to the backfield in his Junior year. JOHN BALAGUER Jack solved Coach Boudakian ' s problem for 1950, and he will fill the same position in 1951. Jack could be counted on to do his best under all conditions, and proved that Fairhaven ' s loss was Somerset ' s gain. BRENDEN HAYDEN Finnegan , who was elected on the All- Narry second team, was a fellow who could take quite a lot of punishment. When Finn took his backing-up position, he was sure to dish out more than he took. 48 ROLAND DEMERS Butch is the typical unsung lineman, the fellow who does all the work and never receives credit. In his three years of com¬ petition, Butch has played consistently hard, clean football. DAMON RIVARD Damon is Somerset ' s triple threat. He runs, kicks, and carries the brunt of the Raiders ' passing attack. Damon has played aggres¬ sive, hard football for three years. 1 RAYMOND FITZSIMMONS Spider , although weighing only 138 pounds, is a great end, both on the offense and defense. Ray can be counted on to bring them all down, big or small. When Fitz snags a pass, watch out! There is no one in the league to stop him from going all the way. ROBERT DeCOSTA Sam , the aggressive lineman of the Raiders, will undoubtedly play an important role in next year ' s Blue and White grid team. Deke could always be counted on to be at the bottom of the pile. CHARLES CLOUTIER Chuck , passing quarterback of the Raid¬ ers, did an admirable job of leading the Blue and White offense, and was invaluable in the role of a blocking back. ACACIO OLIVEIRA, Co-Captain Cashew is known as a ball player ' s ball player , having skill and determina¬ tion — a spark plug and a firm believer in team play. Cash made the All-Narry team in his sophomore year, and has re¬ peated for the third straight season. RICHARD MELLO Richie , in his first year of play, built a reputation as a hard-running line smasher. Although he didn ' t do much scoring him¬ self, he was instrumental in putting his team in scoring position. ROBERT O ' CONNELL Bob has been Coach Boudakian ' s starting left end for three seasons. He is regarded as one of Somerset ' s, and by.some, as the league ' s all-time great pass-receiver. Bob was selected on the 1949 and 1950 All- Narry elevens. i 49 Jake grinds off yardage against Case. Fitz hits pay dirt. Freshman sensation. Bill Burgess, gets off to a flying start.

Standing: Manager Bill Whalen, Denny Pereira, Jake Lee, Dick Worton, Dick Bence, Charlie Cloutier, Dick Rego, Coach Boudakian. The Blue Raiders, led by their high-scoring Co-Captains, Bob O ' Connell and Ray Fitzsimmons, emerged from a grueling season with a record of fourteen wins and four defeats. Bob, classy pivot-man who was named to the All-Narry team for the third straight year, amassed a total of 313 points over the season, for an average of 17.4 points per game. I Fitzy finished with 225 points, averaging 12.5 per contest. Chet Lynch, scrappy forward, missed going over the century mark by one basket, as he scored 98 points. Chet sparkled on the offensive as well as the defensive. Guards Dick Rego and Charlie Cloutier were the only underclassmen to see regular action. Chuck hit the net for 91 points, while Dick, who was a ball handler, scored 60. We all remember the night that Dick ' s basket saved the Westport game in sudden death. The Blue and White ' s strongest threat was the abundance of reserves, all of whom were capable of playing varsity ball—Damon Rivard, Jake Lee, Jerry Kadin, Denny Pereira, Jack Balaguer, Dick Bence, and Jerry DeCosta. Prevost was the only team to earn the distinction of defeating Somerset in both en¬ counters. League champ, Holy Family, trimmed the Raiders on the New Bedford court, but our boys bounced back to upset them later in the season. In 1951, Somerset became the first team ever to defeat Diman Voke on their home court. Although they wound up the season in third place in the Narry League, the Blue Raiders provided the fans with some exciting basketball, and made their opponents realize that Somerset ' s team was out to win, and was not to be taken lightly.

Though not a championship team, they were not outdone in fighting spirit. Led by Bill Curtis, the team ' s star pitcher, they finished in a tie for third place with a record of nine wins as against five defeats. The Somerset nine showed its power by pasting St. Anthony 20-3 and 16-4. Decisive victories were also gained over Westport and Dartmouth. The top and the toughest game was played at Dighton, which was at that time at the top of the league. The Raiders came out on the short end of a 3-2 score. Bob O ' Connell, the Raiders ' outfielder, proved his great¬ ness as a diamond star. He was chosen by Narry League coaches as an All-Narry fielder. This year ' s team (1951) is composed of many veterans who have received strong competition from other hopefuls. However, Coach Boudakian has declared every position open. Candidates, therefore, cannot rest upon laurels gained in past years. Somerset High is seeking an opportunity to recapture the honor of winning the Narry League championship.

This year ' s team had a pretty fair record. Although they were not the champs for the year 1950-51, the girls showed a great deal, of spirit and never gave up when the going was a little rough. Gildanna Wallace, captain, is a girl wtih great athletic ability. Let us not forget the hard work of forwards Bev Hibbert and Barbara Cronan. Joan Murphy, Nancy George, and Barbara Wilson were three hard-working guards. We must not forget to recognize the play of the second team, for they had courage and determination, and a never-say-die spirit.
