Luti in appreciation of his genuine friendliness, and generous aid, we, the Class of 1953 fondly dedicate MEMOIRS XVI. He has unselfishly devoted much of his time to coaching our basketball Jay Vees, conducting tumbling classes, as well as taking an active in¬ terest in our football team. As an English and American History teacher he has made his classes alive and interesting. His artistic ability com¬ bined with his sense of humor has made him unique among teachers. We sincerely hope that he will continue to guide the students of S. H. S. to their Crossroads in the friendly and understanding way he has for the past three years. I W.1 MR. KILGREW O u MISS MASON MRS. WHITNEY MR. O’TOOLE MR. KINEAVY MISS WORTON MR. KNECHT MR. SIMPSON MRS. TRAYNOR MR. GARDNER MR. KAYLOR MISS SCANLON MR. MORRIS faculty 53 MISS WALSH MISS BACHAND MR. GAYZAGIAN MISS GREENE MR. KEARNS As we departed from the road of primary education we, rather shy and bewildered, approached the avenue of secondary education and were both relieved and grateful when our vision was unmistakably focused upon a green light. Without hesitation we sped through the intersection and breezily guided our “roadsters” to S.H.S. Her portals were opened wide, her parking lot was spacious, we were not hampered by stop signs or caution signals so we drove in and parked there for four, fun-packed but laborious years. Once inside S.H.S.. Mr. Kilgrew directed us along the road that we would have to take in four short years. Under the able direction of Mrs. Staples, our Fresh¬ man class advisor, we chose a most efficient and dur¬ able guide in Robert Ayer, and to assist him we selected Mary O’Toole as Vice President; Marie Rogers, Girl Councillor; Mary Murphy, Secretary; William Southworth, Treasurer; and Philip Vaillan- court. Boy Councillor. Having no treasury, (as what freshman class has?), we ' strived to establish one. We succeeded in this by plunging whole-heartedly into a Magazine Drive. Needless to say, not only did we attain some security, but we also increased that se¬ curity by launching the biggest success of the year, a dance. “Paradise Island”. After a brief respite, the summer vacation, we entered our Sophomore Year and held our class elec¬ tions immediately. Our class leader had proved to be so reliable that we called for a repeat performance and Bob Ayer, eager and willing, accepted the position of Class President once again. As no group can function properly or successfully without several able and de¬ pendable leaders, we elected a Vice President, Marie Rogers; a Girl Councillor, Shirley DeCosta; a Secre¬ tary, Marilyn Medeiros; a Treasurer, William Cordiero; and a Boy Councillor, Philip Vaillancourt. These selections showed our wisdom. Seeking greater prosperity, we sponsored another dance. The “Superstitious Shag”. Although it was held on Friday 13th, we hit an all-time-high in dance attendance. None of these activities could possibly have been undertaken if our amiable and understanding advisor, Mr. John Kineavy, hadn’t given us such patient co-operation. Hoping that history would repeat itself we again participated in the Magazine Drive. (History was repeated and our treasury expanded! ) “Slow down . . . Curve ahead!” Was this a threat, a challenge, or a warning? I guess our Junior Year proved to be all of these. This was our debut into many social and extra-curricular activities. Oh! how we “fractured that French,” when we were initiated into Le Cercle Francais. There were some mighty closed¬ mouthed Juniors that day, but when they did venture a phrase or two you could be su re that it would be Oui, Oui, or Bonjour. Equally as thrilling was the honor of having the Secretary and Vice President of the S.A.A. selected from our class. The whole school joined in a vigorous campaign and wisely elected to those offices, Marie Rogers and Mary Murphy. Be¬ cause of his capable leadership, Robert Ayer became President of our class for the third consecutive year. To assist him in guiding us to the main thoroughfare . . . that of success ... we elected Shirley DeCosta, Vice President; Madeleine Levesque, Secretary; Ruth Chorlton, Girl Councillor, William Hutchinson, Treas¬ urer; and Emery Vaughn, Boy Councillor. Our representation in the athletic program and the cheering squad assured us of a reputation as a class of sports enthusiasts. Combining our sports and social interests, we ushered in the football season with “Kick- (Ataxy Off-Kaper. Highlighting the social events of the year was. however, the Junior-Senior Prom. Adding to the success of the evening was the fact that it was a warm, glowing, romantic, moonlight night. The stage was set. the mood was right, it was the “loveliest night of the year. Everyone was waltzing in Old Vienna. The “Viennese Waltz” concluded our Junior, Year with a grand finale. Miss McGrath had advised us well. Responsibility . . . hard work . . . red letter decisions . . . future plans . . . confusion; these were the signs warning us of the “Crossroad” that we were about to encounter. . . Our Senior Year! In spite of these ob¬ stacles our Senior Year was a mad whirl of fun and frolic. Robert Ayer, who had been the outstanding leader of our class for three years, now relinquished this position as President of the class to become the President of our S.A.A. Bill Cordeiro. who handled the job of Class Treasurer in our Sophomore Year, again exercised his capability in this office as Treas¬ urer of our S.A.A. Maurice Gauthier, known through¬ out the school for his qualities of leadership, ambition, geniality, and intelligence, was chosen to fill the office of President during our final and most indus¬ trious year. Equally as capable were the rest of the class officers: Marilyn Matthews, Vice President; Shirley DeCosta. Secretary; Bill Hutchinson, Trea¬ surer; Jean Barlow-. Girl Councillor; and Robert Kiley. Boy Councillor. Our class advisor was Miss Ruth B. Mason. Jumping right into the spirit of things, we put on the first dance of the year, the welcome social called “School Daze.” The novel caricatures of the faculty plus the large attendance made the affair a smashing success. Almost immediately we began work on that all important project. Memoirs XVI. Forever fresh in our memories will be those supposedly all staff meetings at Marilyn Matthews’ house and her raided refrigera¬ tor. Equally as memorable will be Miss Walsh and her tireless efforts to keep us meeting the deadlines and producing the best S.H.S. yearbook of all time. The football season roused plenty of school spirit when we won a brilliant and inspiring victory over Dighton. 26-13. This was a stupendous comeback as the previous year they had trounced us 50-6. Coach Simpson in his first year at Somerset led the boys to an undefeated season and a Narry League Champ¬ ionship. The traditional Turkey Day Case vs. Somerset game was one of the most colorful ever, with Somerset towering over Case 12 to 0 and “49ers” trophy was placed side-by-side with the rest of the crowns of glory in our sports show case. The Senior Girls also had a field day in sports because they had. for the first time, a Gym Teacher. Miss Lorriane Bachand. Of course, there’s always something taking the joy out of life and that happened to he those much dreaded Senior Orals. This, coupled with those red-letter de¬ cisions that would make or break our future plans, only helped to make our minds more mature. Before we knew it the Juniors were mysteriously and indus¬ triously preparing for the Prom, and graduation rehearsals were in full swing. The prom was an ex¬ quisite affair. Thus ended our High School social activities, excluding the banquet, which was for our class alone. At last, we came to the end of the road, the termination of High School life, for this was grad¬ uation night. We received our diplomas and made a sharp turn from the path, the Carefree Happiness of the High Schooler,” to the road of Life, the road, traversed by the adult, responsible men and women of America.

America had contributed nothing new in design for four months. At a loss for ideas, I asked myself what I could do for inspiration. I realized, the only solution would be a trip across the country, which might suggest some Americana to be developed in styles. Consequently, I packed my bags and left Hollywood, California on November 1, 1965 and flew into New York City. In New York, I boarded a train engineered by Herbert Longshaw. I had no sooner seated myself in the lounge when the conductor, William Dyson, came up to me and said, “Aren’t you Ann Harring¬ ton?” My positive response caused him to ask what I was doing now. I told him I was fashion editor of Style Magazine and was seeking new ideas. Bill had already discovered another celebrity aboard from Somerset, Tony Valero, shortstop for the New Tork Yankees. In New Haven, Connecticut a nun boarded the train, whom I instantly recognized as Eileen Mello. She was on her way to visit her family after return¬ ing from a pilgrimage to Rome where she had an audience with the Pope. From Providence we traveled together to Somerset, Massachusetts. I was met my Robert Ayer, head of the Board of Select¬ man who invited me to a reception and exhibit of the paintings of the famous landscape artist, Lor¬ raine Wamboldt- Accomodations had already been arranged for me by Shirley DeCosta, Mr. Ayer’s secretary and receptionist, at the second largest hotel in the world, the Maurician Hotel, owned and operated by Maurice Gauthier. It was in the ballroom of this beautiful hotel that the reception was held. Guests began to arrive at 8 p. m. in the taxis owned by William Haworth. The first person I saw was Harry Bloom, prominent Wall Street broker who had attained great success. Following was Barbara Gough, famed traveler, who had just returned from Switzerland having covered a story for Holiday Magazine. As I entered the lobby I saw Joan Crawford, who had secured a position as a French interpreter at the United Nations. She was talking to Jean Barlow, Editor of the Somerset Spectator. Working as Sports Editor of the Spectator was Paul Doyle, who had just finished covering the Somerset- Dighton football game which Somerset won 52-0. Ever since Somerset’s upset victory in 1952 which ended Dighton’s three year winning streak, Dighton has been unable to beat the Raiders. The entertainment program consisted of a group of very talented artists. There was the versatile com- medienne, Eleanor Sabral, television replacement for Imogene Cocoa, Joan Archard, well-known Pops singer for Phil Spitalny’s All-Girl Orchestra, Belva Rousseau, ballet dancer for the London Ballet Com¬ pany, and that ever popular yodeling cowboy with his guitar, Alan Grime. Special guests in the audience included a delegation from the Somerset Nurses Alumanae Association, Mary Murphy, Joan Vargas, Elaine Santos and president of the associa¬ tion, Mary O’Toole- Mary mentioned the fact that their last speaker was the famous scientist, William Hutchinson. Bill was working at the main chemical laboratory of the Matthews Chemical Engineering Corporation directed by Marilyn Matthews. The following day, I visited the “City” of Somer¬ set and its attractions. Next to my suite on the third floor was the photography studio of Mme. Olive Carpenter. She supplies the fashion magazines with the pictures of women’s clothes modeled by the Misses Laura Saravia and Joan Fox. On the twelfth floor of the hotel, occupying a suite, lived Mary McGowan, now happily married to John D. Spear¬ mint, owner of the Spearmint Chewing Gum Corp¬ oration. Also on the twelfth floor was Vaughn Cleaners’ Incorporated. Emery had now enlarged his business throughout all New England. Adjoining the clean¬ ers was the Bienvenue Mattress Company with Arthur and Paul as co-managers. Their official mattress tester was John Ashcroft, who was very popular with all mattress companies, since he sleeps on any mattress made. I heard quite a rumble up on the thirteenth floor so I went up to investigate. There I found the Stansfield Tumbling School. Working with Gilbert was Daniel Pavao. Prophecy The sound of a police siren aroused my curiosity so I took an elevator to the main floor. Elevator operator, Henry Williams, informed me that the siren was from a police escort for the first woman F.B.I. director, Marie Rogers. When I met Marie she showed me the latest newspaper headlines. The large black print commended Frank Swain, Private Eye, for the capture of Hal Kapone, notorious criminal. I left the hotel and traveled down County Street through the center of the city. Many new stores had opened since I last had been there. One new store quite well-known throughout the area was Baker’s Fish Market, owned and operated by Dick Baker. At the corner of Pratt and County Streets was the Somerset First National Bank. Bill Cordeiro was now president of the bank and had a very capable secretary, Elsbeth Chace. The friendly hank tellers were Leonora Estrella, Helen Monteiro, and Ann O’Brien- At the corner of Buffington Street I met Carl Bridge who had just finished swimming the English Channel, both ways. He was making a guest appearance at the Somerset Theater along with Robert Kiley, famed Hollywood romeo, idol of all American teenagers. High on the hill I could see our Alma Mater, so 1 journeyed up to walk through its familiar Corridors. The fourth year English teacher, Barbara Lopes, art supervisor, Barbara Traynor, and Gym teacher, Helen Sullivan, were some of the members of the Somerset High School faculty. A new course, “Charm and Poise,” was being taught by Madeleine Levesque. Passing by the main office, I saw Albina Diogenes, the school secretary, typing out the weekly notice. On the bulletin board I noticed a memo for the cheering class whose in¬ structor was Ruth Chorlton. From the high school I traveled on the Trainor Bus Lines, owned and operated by Bob Trainor and Kenny Riley, to the new Somerset Memorial Hospital, which was designed by architectural en¬ gineer, Donald Brown. Entering the hospital I saw the head sup ervisor, Peggy Fugiel. Joan Boyle, Betty Chace, and Claudette Caron were at the switchboard. In the corridor, I met Judy Single- ton, their physical therapist. In the right wing of the building was the Jolly-Day Nursery which was run by young matrons. These matrons proved to be none other than the former Misses Cecile Bien- venue, Carol Butler, and Claudette Thibault. When I returned to my room at the hotel I found an exquisite floral display sent with the compli¬ ments of the Lena Greeley Floral Shop, whose chief flower designer was Reinette Caron. The next day I took a train to Providence and met Judy Lopes, first woman head of the Chamber of Commerce. She suggested that I see Bill South- worth, in Chicago on my return trip. I stopped in the windy city and visited his supermarket. Although Bill had a business appointment, he invited me to join him so that I could see Rene Bouchard and Joe Vivieros, who were to discuss contracts for dairy and farm products. I cerjainly realized my trip had been worth while. I had seen many of my former classmates who had inspired and rejuvenated me. Perhaps Europe and South America would continue to give us competition but with all the ideas I had in mind the United States would certainly be in the limelight at the “Crossroads” of fashions.

With their vim and vigor this attractive group has cheered the boys on to many victories. Hii IHili 1 I 111 1 , [i Ini mm i i - Jl i $ : , 4 - v rn ' V Undefeated fJarry Champs The Somerset High Blue Raiders, under the new Director of Ath¬ letics, Coach John Simpson, earned many honors in 1952. In their first undefeated season since 1947, Somerset captured Narry League laurels. With Somerset in possession of the 49’ers trophy and the Narry Championship, the players deserved the privilege of tossing Coach Simpson into the showers. He offered no resistance. A hard fought tie with a stubborn Mansfield team in the opening game, prevented the Raiders from having a spotless record. The following Saturday, the Raiders crossed the path of the Mighty Blue and Gold wave from Dighton and emerged from the contest victor¬ ious, 26-13. The next victim of the powerful Somerset machine was Falmouth, 14-6. Diman tried its skill against the Simpsonites and were beaten by the score of 40-0. As the final gun sounded, Somerset pounded out an impressive 18-12 victory over the Dartmouth Slocum-Roaders. Somer¬ set scored its fifth consecutive victory by downing a newcomer to the Somerset schedule, Oliver Ames of North Easton, 26-13. Somerset romped over Provincetown 48-6, leaving Case as the only stumbling block. But Somerset did not stumble . . . Case fell 12-0 into the hands of the Blue and White. Assisting Coach Simpson were Mr. Kineavy, Mr. Kearns, and Mr. Luti. Mr. Luti’s scouting of the competitors proved to be a very large part of the Raiders’ successful drive. Co-captains Bob Kiley and Bill Southworth worked well with this excellent coaching staff. The Co-captains led the team on the field in fine style. Somerset was well represented on the All-Narry team. First team honors went to Co-captain South- worth, O’Connell, Burgess and Ginalski. Second team honors were won by: Medeiros, Sykes and Chase. Co-captains elected for next year’s team are Bill Burgess and Jim Doonan. Champion Somerset Lands 4 on All-Narry Eleven aRMBg FIRST TEAM Name Dave Miller . Paul Ginalski Frank Simmons ., Al Gadbois .

Defensive Line back CARL BRIDGE Crushing Tackle The Kearnsmen completed their 1952-53 basket¬ ball season with an impressive 12-4 record, second position in the Narry league. After winning five consecutive games, Somerset lost to Diman, 49-44. There were two losses to Westport and one to Dart¬ mouth. Somerset racked up a total of 918 points against 780 for their opponents. Point averages for the Raiders were: Archard, 1.67; Burgess 15; Ginalski 1.8; Harrington 11.1; McGowan 4.1; Medeiros 9.7; Moniz .9; O’Connell 13.2; Fleck 4; Diogenes 1. Uaseball Somerset High’s 1952 Baseball Team, under the direction of Coach John Kineavy had an impressive record of 9 wins and 5 losses. After a slow start, the Raiders hit their stride and were undefeated in seven straight contests beginning and ending with Holy Family. The Blue and White remained a strong contender for the remainder of the season, finishing a strong third in the league race. Co-captain Bence, Charlie Cloutier, and Ron Cheney were named to the All-Narry team. The season’s Batting Averages were: Cloutier .408, Cheney .326, Co-captain Bence .318, Burgess .284, Sylvia .250, Co-captain Jolivet .237, Valero .230, Medeiros .230, Archard .222, Doonan .201, Ginalski .200, Rogers .183, Kiley .178, O’Connell .150, DeCosta .150. The Pitching records were: Sylvia 4-1, Jolivet 4-1, Cuccinotta 0-1, Ginalski 1-2, O’Connell 1-0. The latter two will be very good material around which to mold the team. “ 53 ” Tony Valero, veteran 3rd baseman and long-ball hitter, is the ’53 captain. What’s wrong, Coach? from the sidelines Coach one TONY VALERO Captain Warm up Ready for action a double! Archard gets 0iris’ basketball JEAN BARLOW HELEN SULLIVAN The “Raiderettes” coached by Miss Lorraine Bachand played many spirited games. Although the peppy girls in blue did not have an outstanding season, they deserve praise for their good sportsmanship and co-operation. Nancy Douthwright’s eagle eye made it possible for her to earn the title of high scorer. Close behind “Stretch” in scoring honors were Brenda Douthwright and Ruthie Chorlton, who, although diminutive, always gave her opponents a hard time. Other sharp shooters were Shirley DeCosta, Helen Sullivan, and Barbara Traynor. The aggressive guards who kept the opposing forwards on the run were Jean Barlow, Mary McGowan, Mary O’Toole, Joan Archard, Judy Singleton, and Ann Weeden. The “Raiderettes” found great leadership in Co-captains Jean Barlow and Shirley DeCosta. NOR BAR RUTHIE CHORLTO Somerset edged Dighton by a mere three-quarters of a point: 32 3-4 to 32, to end the Townies lour year track domination which began in 1948. Bill Burgess, a Somerset athlete, won first place in the 100 yard dash and the running broad jump. Defending champs, Dighton, copped four firsts, but the Raiders emerged victorious by dominating sec¬ ond and third spots.
