NEW DAWN MEMOIRS XV SOMERSET HIGH SCHOOL Somerset, Massachusetts i 9 5 2 MISS WORTON DEDICATION To Miss Barbara Worton, in recognition of the innumerable services you have rendered to us, we, the Class of 1952, dedicate Memoirs XV. We realize that many of the goals that we achieved during the past four years would never have been possible with¬ out your unselfish assistance. In your capacity as instructor.of Household Arts and head of the Girls ' Athletic Department, you have added a personal touch to the fulfillment of your responsibilities in your own inimitable manner. We sincerely hope that you will continue to guide the students of S.H.S. in the quest of their new dawn. 2 INTRODUCING . . . SOMERSET JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM With the dedication of Somerset Junior High School and Memorial Gymnasium on February 17, 1952, Somerset High School acquired a long awaited and much needed addition. Principal of the Senior High, Francis J. Kilgrew, was appointed director of both schools. Miss Ruth B. Mason remained Vice Principal of the Senior Division and Mr. Harry Johnson accepted the position of Vice Principal of the Junior High. The new structures contain the most modern educational facilities including an art studio, music rehearsal chamber, household arts kitchen, science laboratory and health clinic. An intercommunication system runs throughout the buildings. The Memorial Gymnasium boasts of three basketball courts, four badminton courts and four shuffleboard courts. There is enough spectator space to seat 800 persons at a basketball contest. After the sports activity, students may enjoy a refreshing shower in the glazed tile locker rooms. The 6-3-3 system went into operation and it was necessary to provide instructors for the increased school population in the new departments. Mr. Harry Johnson, Mrs. Anne Bergeron, Mr. Richard Mahoney and Mr. John O ' Brien teach the eighth graders. Mr. William Barrar, Mr. Walter Smietana, Miss Evelyn Ryan and Miss Edith Bottomley instruct the seventh grade pupils. The new school shows a type of progress and far-sightedness that we, the graduating students, appreciate. 3 FACULTY MR. KILGREW Principal MR. MORRIS MISS WORTON MR. BARRETT MISS WALSH MR.

A new experience, a new adventure when the first rays of the majestic sun heralded September 5 , 1948. As the sun rose higher, we found the portals of SHS welcoming a new class into its fellow¬ ship, the Class of ' 52. Mr. John Kineavy, having been appointed our faculty advisor, started class activities rolling by guiding the election of officers. With Richard Bence at the helm; Frances Cadorette, Vice President; Thomas Almy Treasurer; Marilyn Araujo, Secretary; Seraphin Rogers, Boy Councilor and Claire Pelletier, Girl Councilor, we joined the Dime-A-Week Plan. Having taken this step, we were to be the first class to benefit from four years of this financial program. We made our debut into SHS society at the Freshmen Reception. Charles Cloutier and Frances Cadorette were crowned King and Queen of Hearts at the Seniors ' Valentine Dance. When it came our turn to prove ourselves apt hosts and hostesses, we did so with the success of the Frosh Hop. As always SHS was grooming new athletes for the future, and mem¬ bers of our class were included. Our athletes proved worthy, the girls finishing in a three-way tie for the Narry League Basketball Champion¬ ship, and he boys conquering the Narry League Championship in Baseball and going on to Fenway Park, only to be defeated in the Finals by Swarnpscott. The dawn of an even more challenging Sophomore Year awaited us. Anticipating this, we elected Norman Jolivet, President; Frances Cadorette, Vice President; James Sherman, Treasurer; Estelle Cheney, Secretary; Richard Bence, Boy Councilor; Maeleen Murphy, Girl Councilor. The Blue Raiders ended the football season gloriously with the winning of the Forty-Niner ' s Trophy by downing our traditional rival, Case High School, at the annual Thanksgiving Day game. Mr. Kineavy supervised our top social activity. The Spring Carnival Dance. The retirement of Miss Ruth B. Eddy, our music director, and Mr. William A. Hart, our English teacher, saddened us. In them we had lost not only excellent teachers but also two loyal friends. Having two years of high school life behind us, the Class of ' 52 looked to the prospect of newer and brighter dawns making their way through the doors of SHS. Fired on by the Spirit of the Blue and the White, we began our Junior Year by selecting Richard Bence, President; Kathleen Goss, Vice President; Thomas Almy, Treasurer; Claudette Landry, Secretary; Robert DeCosta, Boy Councilor; and Irene Valley, Girl Councilor. Our class came into prominence in school government when Frances Cadorette and Estelle Cheney became Vice President and Secretary, respectively, of the S. A. A. In athletics, the Blue Raiders triumphed again over Case and re¬ tired the Forty-Niner ' s Trophy for another year. We had two other big projects to complete — the securing of our class rings and the sponsoring of the Junior-Senior Prom. Miss Mary McGrath was appointed our advisor. We chose the traditional class rings of SHS. The Prom we called Cinderella ' s Ball and completed the social year with this success. The electing of captains of all three sports was held under the leadership of Coach Harry Boudakian. A more serious and determined Class of ' 52 looked ahead to their last year as students of SHS. With Miss Ruth Mason as advisor, we elected Robert DeCosta, Presi¬ dent; Frances Cadorette, Vice President; William Ginalski, Treasurer; Estelle Cheney, Secretary; Joseph Sylvia, Boy Councilor and Olive Soares, Girl Councilor. The student activities of the school were begun after John Balaguer and Joseph Rogers were elected President and Treasurer, respectively, of the S.A.A. In the tradition of SHS, at the beginning of the year we held the Freshmen Reception, which we called the Hookey Hop. Our football season ended gloriously with our winning the 49 ' ers Trophy for the third consecutive year. We also saw the opening of the new Junior High and the dedication of our new Memorial Gymnasium. Our biggest social event of the year was Sadie Hawkin ' s Day. Sunset — with the exchanging of pictures, the banquet, the receiv¬ ing of our yearbook, the Prom and finally our graduation, the class of ' 52 terminated its activities as members of SHS. We, the Class of ' 52, look forward to the rising sun, seeking the knowledge that will come with each New Dawn. 9 MEMOIRS EDITORIAL STAFF CHARLES CLOVER ANNE BERGERON Editor Q.

They were boarding the new atomic-powered ocean liner, New Dawn, designed by the Joseph Rogers and Sons Engineering Co., which on this bright summer day in 1965 was making its maiden voyage across the Atlantic to England. Steering my cloud nearer to the forecastle, I landed and began to move about and encountered several passengers. While floating through a com¬ panion-way, I was penetrated by Francis DePonte and the first mates, John Charves, Donald Waring and Joe Sylvia, who were on their way to the bridge. Continuing along, I glanced into the Purser ' s Office and saw Arnold Chace, the purser, and his secretary, Eleanor Souza checking the accounts of Lorraine Cabral. Lorraine, with her two assistants, Ruth Oldham and Barbara Hathaway, was on her way to the International Art Exhibition being held in Rome. At the sound of the bell Antone Almeida, the chief steward, arrived to show Lorraine to her cabin. In the Wireless Room, Ernest Wood and Jerry Doucette, operating the teletype, were interpreting an important message for Barbara Borges, owner of the Double Bubble Chewing Gum Co., who was aboard. Also busy at work were the four intercommunication operators, Louise Daghir, Veronica Burke, Virginia DeFarias and Olive Soares. About ten hours out from the United States, in the executive parlor on the top deck, an informal meeting was in progress. The two business man¬ agers of the New Dawn Jack Balaguer and David Cucinotta were dis¬ cussing their new ideas with Frances Cadorette, the Public Relations Advisor and her two assistants, Kathleen Goss and Ruth Leonard. The ship ' s news¬ paper staff, with Gertrude Mendes, Chief Editor, Anne Bergeron, News Editor, and Maeleen Murphy and Grace Eisenhardt, Society Editors, were planning the publishing of the first copy with Janet Weeden, a famous commercial artist. As I was floating toward the dining room, after hearing the dinner chimes, I paused long enough to see that George Langfield and James Sherman were still arguing over who shot the largest elephant. George, Jim, and George Cabral, three famous big game hunters were on their way to the wilds of Africa on a hunting expedition. I also noticed Barbara Leonard and Natalie Soares, co-owners of a ladies ' cosmetic corporation. Talking to his former schoolmates was Robert Porter, U.S. Representative to an Inter¬ national 4-H Convention. Entering the dining hall, I spotted Robert Bernard, five time winner of the Indianapolis Race, and his expert mechanic, George Cayer. They were on their way to England to compete in the English Championship Midget Race. Claudette Landry and Phyllis Moriarty, head stewardesses, were show¬ ing Lorraine Banville and Audrey Swain, owners of the chain of dress shops from Boston to Miami, to their seats. Sitting opposite them at a table for four, were Joan Douthwright and Beverly Sullivan, en route to London to finish a series of books. 26 After a very enjoyable meal prepared by those two famous chefs, Norman Jolivet and Gilbert Raymond, Charlie Cloutier, the social director and his assistants Robert DeCosta and Brenden Hayden welcomed all aboard. Charlie announced that in case of any sickness or injury, a very capable medical staff was on board. Doctors Ginalski and Bence, their nurses Irene Valley and Virginia Chorlton, and Estelle Cheney, who was doing research work for Dr. Ginalski, made up this staff. It was also announced that the DeCosta-Manchester Men ' s Wear Co. had a large supply of men ' s clothes in their shop on the New Dawn. Charlie Cloutier then turned the evening program over to Arthur Pereira, the Master of Ceremonies. Arthur in turn, introduced that noted stage and screen quartet the Ink Blotters. After these four, Richard Rego, Jack Emmett, Thomas Thwaite and Ronald Panara, had sung a few popular numbers, the emcee introduced Sophie Rogers whose magical powers had astonished many an American audience on television as well as on the stage. After other entertaining acts, the passengers danced to the music of the ship ' s band, among which, I am proud to say, were members of the class of ' 52: Evelyn Hathaway, Mari¬ lyn Araujo, Josephine Prato and Carl Slade. All this was very interesting but I, Thomas Almy, knew that St. Peter was anxiously awaiting my return for I was to give him a report on these people for future reference.

STUDENT COUNCIL As the legislative body of our school government, the Student Council does its best to satisfy the needs and wants of the students and faculty and to improve school regulations. Under the direction of its four officers, a Christmas Card Sale, a Spectator subscription drive, a very successful dance in March, and other activities were conducted. The proceeds from these projects were used to procure the necessary uniforms and equipment for our teams, to send delegates to student council conventions, and to aid other clubs who are having financial difficulties. The Student Council is the foundation of the school and is the binding force between students and faculty. LIBRARIANS Under the leadership of Miss Walsh, the Library Associates have the respons¬ ibility of keeping track of all the books, as well as assisting anyone who uses the facilities of the library where there are more than 3,000 volumes at the disposal of approximately 350 students. This is not an easy task and the girls and Miss Walsh have done a commendable job.

BREEZE The publication of the Breeze is one of the most active extra-curricular functions at S.H.S., the product of its industry being a bi-weekly journal of school news. A variety of articles, some serious and some humorous, sport write¬ ups, club reports and accounts of what is going on in S.H.S. in general, makes the Breeze a newspaper of which the students can be proud. The Breeze also affords an opportunity for ardent, young journalists to see their work in print. At the end of the year their efforts are rewarded at the annual banquet. HONOR SOCIETY To stimulate the development of leadership, scholarship, service and character among the students is the purpose of Sigma Chi Delta, S.H.S. local chapter of the National Honor Society. The requisites for membership in the Society are that a student be on the honor roll three out of five terms for two consecutive years and that he be a citizen in good standing at S.H.S. Each member receives a gold pin. This emblem is nationally recognized as the symbol that its owner has met the Society ' s hi gh standards and has fulfilled the four aims of the Society.

ORCHESTRA The Orchestra is organized to create an appetite for classical music and to develop the skill of those with musical talent. During the past year it has per¬ formed at many important occasions including graduation, the Junior High School dedication and the South Eastern Massachusetts Musical Festival. Pursuing the art of refined music, the orchestra has constantly tried to acquaint the students of the high school with some of the more famous musical selections. BAND The Band has greatly increased in membership this past year and has con¬ tributed much to school spirit. Under the direction of Mr. Gayzagian it has im¬ proved the morale and increased enthusiasm at football games, pep rallies and assemblies.

Second Row: Ruth Chorl- ton — Girl Councillor, Bill Hutchin¬ son — Treasurer, Emery Vaughn — Boy Councillor. Under the guidance of Miss Mary McGrath, Junior class activities were begun with the election of class officers. Soon after, S.A.A. officers were selected and Mary Murphy and Marie Rogers now serve as Vice-President and Secretary respectively. The crisp, cool days of autumn brought the football season. It was a rigorous schedule and a good contingent of Juniors were on the gridiron to meet it. The girls of the class did their share for the Blue and White, they were the cheer¬ leaders, the pep squad, and the drum majorettes. The band, too, was sparkled by Junior musicians. Using the football season as the theme, the class sponsored their first dance in October. It was named Kickoff Kaper. After the Christmas vacation, the arrival of the class rings was awaited with eager anticipation. The traditional ring of S.H.S. had been chosen. January — and the basketball season. Many Junior boys and girls turned out on the court to become an active part of S.H.S. basketball teams. The remainder were ardent rooters of the season ' s many thrilling games. Magazine subscriptions were taken by -the class whose goal was to increase their treasury, which they did. February passed with its snows and cold and in the months to follow Spring began to show its sunny countenance. Baseball practice began. The Juniors again were well represented. Plans were formulated and carried out for the annual Junior-Senior Prom. This is the event which was held in great anticipation by all Seniors and it became one of their fondest memories of S.H.S. 38 SOPHOMORES First Row: James Doonan — Treasurer, Jane Wimpenny — Girl Council¬ lor, Paul Ginalski — President. Second Row: James Medeiros — Boy Councillor, Claudette Levesque — Secretary, Marilyn France — Vice President. The Sophomore Class chose an excellent slate of officers with Paul Ginalski as President, Marilyn France — Vice President, Claudette Levesque — Secretary, Jimmy Doonan — Treasurer, Jane Wimpenny — Girl Councillor, and Jimmy Medeiros — Boy Councillor. During their Freshman year this class proved they could work together suc¬ cessfully by sponsoring an outstanding dance in May, 1951. There are a number of prominent athletes from the Sophomore Class in all three varsity sports. Among those who show promise and ability are Paul Ginalski, James Doonan, Tommy O ' Connell, Bill Burgess, Jimmy Medeiros, and Ronny Cheney. The Sophomores have participated in many other extra-curricular activities as well as sports. Under the direction of their class advisor, Mr. Kineavy, they sponsored a dance, Winter Wonderland, in December. The Class of 1954 has been so prominent in school activities in their first two years that in the remaining two, they should be interesting to watch. 40 FRESHMEN First Row: Barbara Murphy — Secretary, Charles Chorlton — President, Nancy Grime — Vice-President. Second Row: William Anderson — Boy Councillor, Donald Kasher — Treasurer, Statia Gateriewitz — Girl Councillor. Numbering one hundred and thirteen, the Class of ' 55 was the largest freshman class yet to enter S.H.S. In setting up their student government, under the usual democratic policies of our school, they elected Charles Chorlton, presi¬ dent; Nancy Grime, vice president; Donald Kasher, treasurer; and Barbara Murphy, secretary. To represent their class in the Student Council, they chose Stasia Gateriewitz, girl councillor; and William Anderson, boy councillor. The Freshman Speaking Contest which was held in April, provided a great deal of enjoyment for the upper classmen, and also showed off the intellectual talents of the Freshmen. Under the advisorship of Miss Anne T. Scanlon, they sponsored the annual Freshman Dance in May. The Class of ' 55 of S.H.S. has proven themselves to be high spirited and up-and-coming. It has been well represented in both school and extra-curricular activities. Because of the qualities they have already shown, it is expected that they will be an asset to S. H.

This group can be depended upon to support the team at all football and basketball games. Although they can not cheer at baseball games you can be sure they ' re right out front rooting for the Blue and White. THE CHEERLEADERS FOOTBALL Head coach, Dave Barrett, assisted by Coach John Kineavy and Coach Bill Kearns, worked ceaselessly with the 45 members of this year ' s squad so that at the close of the season Somerset was in third place in the Narry League. Five All-Narry berths were awarded to the Barrettmen: Co-captain Brenden Hay¬ den center. Co-captain Robert DeCosta, guard, Richard Bence, end, and Charles Cloutier, utility backfield. Jerry DeCosta was named to a backfield position on the second string. In its first game, Somerset played host to Mansfield. The outcome of this first contest was a scoreless tie. The Blue and White then fought to an impressive win over a favored Hanover eleven, 18-7. The Barrettmen took the worst punish¬ ment of their season as Dighton romped over them 53-6. The next game, with Provincetown, the Raiders came out on top of a 42-19 score. The second tie of the season was the result of the contest with Diman, 6-6. Somerset suffered its second loss at the hands of Dartmouth, 7-0. In a howling nor ' easter, the Green of Yarmouth stopped the Raiders 20-7. Lawrence High of Falmouth then fell victim to the Blue and White, 20-7. In the annual classic on Thanksgiving Day with Case High of Swansea, Somerset showed its strength by downing the Cardi¬ nals, 20-12. The Barrettmen thereby added another year to the 49 ' ers Trophy. 47 RICHARD BENCE Dick, playing football for his third year at Somer¬ set, did a great job at the end post. He was able to spot quickly the opposing team ' s plays as well as snag in long aerials. EARL MANCHESTER Although Earl was bothered some with a bad ankle, he was playing a hard aggressive game most of the season in the backfield. CHARLES CLOUTIER Calling the right play at the right time was his job and he did a great job of it. Charlie, the pass¬ ing quarter-back, earned a place on the All Narry eleven. BRENDEN HAYDEN Finnegan, co-captain of this year ' s team and All Narry center for the second year, played his usual rough and hard game at center and at line-backing positions on the defense. Finnegan will long be re¬ membered for his colorful action on the field. PAUL GINALSKI Big Moe was the nickname of a hard-working sophomore who played varsity-end all season. Paul, a tough, wiry footballer promises to prove inval¬ uable in all sports. WILLIAM SOUTHWORTH A sure block on the offense and a hard tackle on the defense. Bill showed a progressive fighting spirit all season and was elected co-captain of next year ' s squad. ROBERT DeCOSTA ROBERT KILEY It was safe to predict that Bob would be on the bottom of the pile in any line play. Sam, as in past years, has continued to play hard, clean football for the Blue Raiders. Bob ' s specialty was running back intercepted passes or kick-offs, and he did a noble job. Playing his first year of football, he was an alert defensive back and was chosen co-captain of next season ' s team. JERRY DeCOSTA Fourth down — 10 yards to go for a first down. This was when Jerry became alive. His quick, broken- field running was a strong asset to the Blue and White. RONALD PANARA Ronny, a fast end, quick to see a scoring op¬ portunity, played a season of good ball for the Blue and White. Although it was his first year in football, he filled the gap at end admirably. WILLIAM BURGESS A sophomore playing his second year in the back- field, Bill could always be counted on for a long run when it was needed. He will be very valuable in his role as fullback. JACK BALAGUER When Jack came to Somerset from Fairhaven, he filled the gap at tackle and continued to play that position for two years. Playing this year primarily on the offense, he was a great help to the Blue Raiders. 4 Somerset, this year, felt the advantages of a three coach system for the first time in its history. Basketball coach, Bill Kearns, guided his team through a fruitful first season by coaching the boys into third place in the Narry Basket¬ ball League. Coach Kearns was chosen to coach an all-star team which played some local post season games. Captain Charlie Cloutier and Dick Bence were elected to this team from Somerset. Also a first, was the Memorial Gym. The 1951-52 basketball team gained the distinction of being the first Somerset team to play in this beautiful building. The last game of the season was the first to be played in the new gym. The Raiders downed Case 50-37. Captain Cloutier led the team in scoring for the season as he massed a total of 242 points, a 15.1 point game average. Richard Bence was second high man with 173. Bill Burgess pushed 117 points through the hoop. Tom O ' Connell poured 84 points into the net. Ronnie Cheney hit for 78. Richard Rego netted 53. Jim Medeiros put another 50 on the score book. Jack Balaguer made 23 points. Ronnie Panara hit for 18 and Paul Ginalski added 13. The Raiders scored 853 for the season as compared with 710 for the op¬ ponents altogether, thus giving the Blue and White a 8.9 point edge on paper in every game. But Someset dropped two games to Holy Family, one to Diman, one to Dartmouth and one to Prevost. This gave the team a .750 average for the season. BASKETBALL ' « M i • • i ... - i; . | 11 k % • j Balaguer Medeiros Panara O ' Connell Burgess Cheney Bence BASEBALL Somerset High ' s 1951 Baseball team, under the direction of former Coach Harry Boudakian showed ten wins and four losses, thus taking third place in the Narry League. Narry League positions were won by Charlie Cloutier, infield, and Robert O ' Connell, outfield. Co-captains Chester Lynch and Damon Rivard led the team against the determined opposition. As a result, the only team able to stop the Raiders twice was an old rival Prevost. The Parochials downed Somerset 8-6 and 5-4. An early season loss to Dighton, 7-4, and a hard luck loss to West- port were the other markers against the Blue and White record. Co-captains for the 1952 season are Norman Jolivet and Richard Bence. Chick starred as a pitcher last season with a 3 and 1 record. Dick played left field and filled in as a relief pitcher. Pitcher Joe Sylvia finished the season with a 1 and 1 slate, but Joe saw much action as a relief man. Last season ' s batting counts were: Richard Rego .347, Tony Valero .306, Robert O ' Connell .305, Chet Lynch .304, Richard Bence .250, Charlie Cloutier .241, Jake Lee .171, Ronnie Cheney .108, Chick Jolivet .333, Dick Worton .000 and Joe Sylvia .000. The subs batted this way: Thomas O ' Connell .666, Robert Kiley .500 and Larry O ' Toole .500. The best of luck to John Kineavy, the new Coach of Baseball, in the 1952 season. 54 Rego Silvia Hayden Cloutier Cloutier charges for third on his way home.
