You came to Somerset in 1930 after graduating from Bridgewater State Teachers’ College with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education, to become principal and eighth grade teacher of the Pottersville Grammar School. While you were there the Pottersville Parent-Teachers Association was started; also during this time you received your Master of Education Degree from Boston College. Then you came to Somerset High School in 1946 to become our prin¬ cipal, where you have proved yourself to be indispensable to pupils, teachers, and parents alike. You were instrumental in starting another Parent-Teachers Association, this time for the Junior-Senior High. Also during these past years you have been President of the Somerset Teachers’ Club, President of the Bristol County Teachers’ Association, and on the Board of Directors for the Massachusetts Teachers’ Association. When we met you in September 1951, you soon had won us over with your friendliness, understanding, and assistance. Now as we leave in 1955, grateful for having been under your excellent guidance, we wish you health and happi¬ ness in the years ahead. JOHN B. SIMPSON DecUcatcott Under the guidance of Coach John B. Simpson, Som¬ erset football has risen to unparalleled heights. Under¬ lying this success is his infectious ability to impart a winning spirit. Over and above this, he has inbred in his players a high degree of sportsmanship, and a de¬ sire to play the game as it should be played. The inter¬ ests of the school and team he has always considered subordinate to that of the individual. His buoyant personality has also pervaded the class¬ room where he is an instructor of geography. Unselfish devotion to his students and his interest in their welfare has endeared him to all. We, the Class of 1955, very proudly dedicate Mem¬ oirs XVIII to our esteemed teacher and coach, John B. Simpson.

SANDOMIERSKI Mechanical Drawing, Shop, Mathematics MR. GAYZAGIAN Supervisor of Music As we approach the pool of life in which we see reflected the four years spent at S.H.S., we are shy, wondering freshmen. Our spirits were elated to great heights at the prospect of being part of such a large school. Everywhere we looked there were traces of preceding classes and we became determined to carry on the torch” for Somerset as successfully as they had done. Miss Scanlon guided us and kept us from straying from the path our freshman year. Under her direction we elected our first class officers, Charles Chorlton, President; Nancy Grime, Vice President; Barbara Murphy, Secretary; Donald Kasher, Treasurer; William Andersen, Boy Councilor; and Stasia Gateriewictz, Girl Councilor. Then we attempted our first class project, a dance called Moonlite Magic,” which helped to establish our treas¬ ury. Soon we began to experiment with extracurricular activities and to discover the pleasure that can be gained from participating in sports, music, and drama. Among the highlights of our sports year was our thrilling defeat of Case in the traditional Thanks¬ giving Day football game, thus enabling us to retain the 49’ers trophy. As a class and as individuals we were striding forward. Before we knew it, June was here and we happily put away all thoughts of school for the summer. Fired on by the spirit of the Blue and the White, we began our sophomore year, select¬ ing Charlie Chorlton, President; Nancy Grime, Vice President; Pat Chorlton, Secretary; Gerald Archard, Treasurer; Tony Soares, Boy Councilor; and Louise Cuttle, Girl Counci¬ lor. Under the supervision of Mr. Kineavy, we sponsored a dance, Frosty’s Frolic.” Our new football coach, John Simpson, piloted the team to a victorious season, copping the Narry League Championship. Our basketball team, coached by Bill Kearns, gave us many thrills and finished the season second in the Narry League. Realizing that we had a big year ahead of us, we plunged into our junior year by se¬ lecting Charlie Chorlton, President; Ann Burgess, Vice President; Nancy Douthwright, Secretary; Gerry Archard, Treasurer; James Collins, Boy Councilor; and Louise Cuttle, Girl Councilor. To represent us in the student council, Joan Souza and Stasia Gateriewictz were elected to the offices of Vice President and Secretary respectively. We then sponsored a smashing victory dance called, Huddle Hop,” after our defeat of Dighton. Miss Mc¬ Grath directed our top social activity, the annual Junior-Senior prom in which we success¬ fully carried out the theme of Starlite.” Another highlight of this year was the choosing and receiving of our class rings. Mirrored in our junior year was our thrilling sports record. The football team, coached by John Simpson, was led to an undefeated season and was culminated with the over¬ whelming victories over the traditional rivals, Dighton and Case. Receiving all-Narry hon¬ ors were John Lockett and newcomer, Steved McGowan. Mr. Kearns molded the basketball team into a formidable one, leading them to a 19-1 record in the Narry League. Consequently, S.H.S. received a bid to compete in the Tech Tourney at Boston Gardens. An atmosphere of tension prevailed throughout the contest for the Class C” Championship. This pinnacle of success was reached by Somerset after the thrilling defeat of Weston. The track team, coached by Mr. Luti swept through an undefeated season. As a successful climax to our thrilling sports year, the baseball team, coached by Mr. Kineavy also had an undefeated season. Thus, each of these accomplishments was like a pebble which having been dropped into the pool sends our ever-widening ripples. These wavelets enlarge. Finally, the in¬ fluence of the junior class was felt on distant shores. With Miss Mason as our class advisor, we elected Charlie Chorlton president for the fourth successive year; Brenda Burke, Vice President; Donald Kashar, Treasurer; Joan Souza, Secretary; John Lockett, Boy Councilor; and Louise Cuttle, Girl Councilor. We performed our first social duty by conducting an acquaintance dance called, School Roundup.” Dick Harris and Gerry Archard received the highest honors possible by being elected to the office of President and Treasurer, respectively, of the S.A.A. Along with the senior year comes the announcement of the staff of Memoirs. Good judgment was shown in the selection of Anne O’Connell, Editor; Dot Linley, Assistant Editor; Jo Marino, Art Editor; and Charlie Chorlton, Business Manager. With the help of Miss Walsh, we began to formulate the yearbook. With the exchanging of pictures, the banquet, the receiving of our yearbook, the prom, and graduation, we polished off our senior year. Now we must pause and look back upon the pool once more, the surface has cleared, and it now reveals more glorious reflections. Not only has the graduating class achieved its goal of carrying on the tradition of S.H.S., but mirrored there are the future citizens of the world!

I, Tony Torres, leave my speed and aggressiveness to Lucy Ann Sawyer. We, Dot Linley and Pat Chorlton, did leave French. We, the senior members of the Round Table, leave a round table. We, the senior members of the Camera Club leave the darkroom to future steady couples of S.H.S. In witness whereof, we have heretofore ascribed our names to this, the sixth month in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-five. ;r BEST DANCERS Eleanor Martin Barton House • FRIENDLIEST SMILE Frank Crowley Peggy Rose Douthwright Paul Lefebvre Dot Linley EASIEST TO GET ALONG WITH Ann Burgess John Lockett BEST ALL AROUND Gerry Archard Pat Chorlton The first publication of the revolutionary magazine Somerset Reflections edited by Nancy Grime was to go to press on August 1, 1966. How could I write an interesting society column before the deadline while returning home from a vacation in Northern England? While walking along the deck of the ocean liner, I heard someone call my name. To my amazement, it was Joan Souza, who said she was now the secretary in charge of the ship’s records. Happy to see someone from Somerset, I explained my problem to her. She suggested a tour of the boat as there were many of our former classmates on board. The Information Desk was the place to start. To my great surprise, there were Geraldine Gray and Marsha Weinstein. Marsha was busy talking to a very distinguished looking man, who turned out to be Donald Gagne, now an importer of foreign cars. Meanwhile, Gerry arranged the tour and called the chief steward, William Correia. While on the way to the bridge, Bill told me that this boat had been designed by the William Andersen Engineering Co., and was at present the largest ship on the O’Connell Boat Line. On the bridge Captain Charles Chorlton was giving first mates Edward Lacerda and Edward Longshaw their orders. As they were busy, we proceeded on our way. We next went to the Executive Cabin where the owner of the company, Anne O’Con¬ nell, and her manager, Gerald Archard were discussing new gym plans with the Athletic Directors, Robert Sykes and John Lockett. Stasia Gateriewictz, the Public Relations Manager was also present. Continuing on our tour, we went to the Radio-room. Glancing inside, I saw William Raposa and Lawrence DeCambra interpreting a message for Ray Mullen, who was now the owner of a chain of haberdasheries for the shorter man. In another part of the room were the four intercommunication operators, Mary Hayward, Helen Borges, Freida Parent, and Lucille Francoeur. In the Purser’s Office, which we next visited, were Moses Raposa, the purser and his secretary, Karen Lopes. They were making cabin arrangements for Donald Kasher, a bishop, who was returning home from a pilgrimage to Rome where he had had an audi¬ ence with the Pope. Just outside the library, I saw Patricia Mello, Janice King and Constance Broadhurst. I joined the group a few moments and learned that they had become teachers and had been studying in Europe. They informed me that another classmate, George Tompkins, was a professor of math at Trent University. After leaving this group and going into the lounge, I met Dorothy Linley, who was returning home from a vacation on the Riviera. She was presently the statistician for the Somerset Life Insurance Co., whose president was James Collins. As we talked, I asked her if she had heard anything about William Moore and Barton House. She said that they were both pilots for the Trans-Atlantic Co., in fact, Bill had been the pilot of the plane which she had taken to France. Noticing two other former classmates, Paul Lefebvre and Kathleen Corcoran, I asked Dot whether she knew what they were doing now. She said that Kathy was a French in¬ terpreter for the United Nations and that Paul was presently engaged in writing a book on French culture. Hearing the dinner chimes, we left the lounge in order to go to the dining hall. As we entered, we were shown to our places by the head stewardesses, Jane Burns and Eleanor Martin. Mary Mullen, a fine commercial artist, was already seated at the table. She was returning home from Italy after making several illustrations for the cover of the new magazine Reflections.” Seated next to Mary was Josephine Marino, who had become a famous dress designer in New York City. She was returning from Paris after having a conference with Crior. Josephine said that another group of Somerset graduates had been in Paris for the new fashion show. They were Ann Burgess, June Chace and Louise Cuttle, who owned a chain of exclusive dress shops. She also said that their most out¬ standing model was Brenda Burke. Another interesting fact was that Norma Veloza had recently become their head bookkeeper. Also seated at the table was Rose Harrington, a nurse, who had been to England to study medicine at a London hospital. She said that a few of our other classmates, Carol Arruda, Jacqueline Plunkett, Mary Ducharme and Eileen Raposa, had also become registered nurses. Soon, we were all pleasantly surprised for three other high school friends were placed at our table. Marion Douthwright and her assistant Jacquelene Benevides, were success¬ fully running a Charm School on New York’s Fifth Avenue, they were accompanied by their secretary Natalie Moniz. I mentally jotted a note to call my secretary, Carol Frenette, to have her arrange an interview with them for an article in the new magazine. Presently, the dining steward came to the table with the first course. When he learned that we were from Somerset, he seemed very excited. He could not resist telling us that the head dietitian was Arlyn Borden and that the three cooks were Daniel Souza, Donald Leonard, and John Lopes. Just then, hearing a rather familiar voice behind me, I turned and to my amazement saw the three famous atomic scientists, Edward Watters, Robert Hutchinson and Thomas Maggiacomo seated at a table with the eminent brain surgeon Dr. Peter Poole. When the meal was finished, we all left the dining hall and gathered in the theatre. The social director, Patricia Chorlton and her assistant Barbara Murphy had planned an interesting evening’s entertainment. Before the program began, they introduced a few of the noted people who were on board. Two of them were Frank Crowly, the Ambassa¬ dor to Germany, and Tony Soares, the Ambassador to Portugal. Another was Dick Harris, winner of the English Midget Auto Race, along with his mechanics, Dick Boulay and Walter Curt. Some of the United States Olympic representatives, Steve McGowan of the basketball team, Tony Torres, the famous runner, and Nancy Douthwright, the world’s greatest woman high-jumper, were called to the platform. While the group was as¬ sembled on the stage Peter Cobery, the ship’s official photographer, took a picture for the daily newspaper. The evening’s entertainment was turned over to the master of ceremonies, James Blackledge, the stupendous radio and television comic, who kept the audience enthralled with his hilarious jokes. As an added attraction a few special num¬ bers were played by Margaret Rosa, pianist, and Anita Duquette, the noted accordionist. The entire day had been full of exciting surprises but I, May Robinson, knew that I had a report to write for Somerset’s new magazine. Now, my problem solved, I went to my cabin with my mind full of wonderful ideas. � ninitiiiii.llilii CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: Louise Cuttle, Girl Councilor; Joan Souza, Secretary; Brenda Burke, Vice President; Charles Chorlton, President; Donald Kasher, Treasurer; John Lockett, Boy Councilor.

HISTORY With the election of the class officers, the Junior class made a favorable start in the 1954-55 school year. Chosen to lead the class in this important year were Robert Nichols, President; Joan Bridgeman, Vice President; Kathleen Miguel, Secretary; Charles Mendes, Treasurer; Marjorie Durfee, Girl Councilor; and Roland Bernado, Boy Councilor. The class sponsored a dance, Scarecrow Scrimmage,’’ to begin a successful social season. In November, you may have seen many of the Juniors flaunting their new rings. They had just received the traditional class rings after waiting two years for them. The class of ’56 has many outstanding athletes on the Blue Raider teams. Among them are Charlie Mendes, Cliff Hoole, Eddie Oliveria, Tom Harrington, Dan Salmon, Butch De Marco, Earle Dennis, Bill Corderio, Joe Zagorski, Joe Costa, and Mickey Freitas. Sylvia Chace represented the Junior class on the cheering squad. The pep squad was well represented by the Juniors and cheered at all the games. They were Joyce Brockman, Barbara Weeden, Barbara Foulds, Helen Miranda, and Margie Durfee. The Junior-Senior prom successfully concluded the social activities of the class of ’56. m.% Standing: Charles Mendes, Treasurer; Marjorie Durfee, Girl Councilor; Roland Ber¬ nardo, Boy Councilor. Sit¬ ting: Kathleen Miguel, Sec¬ retary; Robert Nichols,- Presi¬ dent; Joan Bridgeman, Vice President. Under the able supervision of their class advisor, Mr. Kineavy, the Sophomore class began the 1954-55 school year with the selection of an excellent slate of class officers. Elected to lead the class were Robert Souza, President; Lola Brockman, Vice President; Anne Marie Ginter, Secretary; Edward Cambra, Treasurer; Jack Furtado, Boy Councilor; and Myra Tavares, Girl Councilor. The social activities of the Sophomore class began with a dance entitled Snow Shuf¬ fle.” This was a highly successful affair and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. Included in the ranks of the Sophomore boys are many promising athletes, such as: Louie Souza, Mel Douthwright, Harry Ward, Jack Collins, Dick Botelho, Michael Lom¬ bardo, George Bettencourt, Douglas Cardin, George Mello, John Furtado, Eugene Rut- kowski, and Arthur Kydd. Being well represented on the Pep Squad by Donna Rae Anderson, Marcia Zapasnik, Betty Sullivan, Helen Ducharme, Claire Murphy, Myra Tavares, and Lola Brockman, the girls supported the athletes with spirit. The ability and cooperation exhibited by the Sophs gives every indication that theirs will be an outstanding class. — Standing: Myra Tavares, Girl Councilor; Eddie Cambra, Boy Councilor.

The Blue Raiders of Somerset had a very successful season under the expert tutelage of Coach John Simpson. Although forced to share the crown with Mansfield, it was the third successive crown for the Simpsonmen. The season started on a sad note as a green and shaky Somerset team dropped its opener to a hustling Mansfield eleven. After a week’s layoff the Raiders had to face a powerful Dighton team sporting three wins, but the Raiders rose magnificently to the occasion and pushed the Townies into the dirt. For three straight Saturdays, after that, the Somerset boys mauled three worthy oppon¬ ents, Falmouth, Howe, and then, league rival, Dartmouth. The Somerset defensive team, led by Barton House, Bob Sykes, Tony Torres, and Dick Harris, played the major role in this victory scheme. The next game was a different story as the Raiders lost a tough one to the Bristol Coun¬ ty champs, Taunton. After a rough first half, when Taunton scored all their points, the Raiders played them on even terms. Final gam£ on the schedule was Somerset’s next door neighbor, Case, whom the Raiders were to play in the Annual Turkey Day Classic at Pottersville. Due to the condition of the field the game had to be played in Case’s back yard at the Swansea Memorial Field. It didn’t make any difference to the Raiders though, as they ran roughshod over a supposed¬ ly good Case eleven. Co-Captain Jerry Archard, and Chuck Chorlton led the parade that day with their fine all around play. Also helping the Raider cause were Steve McGowan, John Lockett, Walter Curt in the line, and halfback Dick Boulay made fine showings in their final game for the Blue and White.

Three starters were lost from last year’s Class C” Cham¬ pions, but the loss was more than made up by the hustle and determination of the current Blue Raiders. The sharp-shooting offense and the tight defense were the keys to the success of the Kearnsmen. The starting quintet was composed of first-string holdovers Captain Steve McGowan and leading scorer Tom Harrington. The consistent scoring of For¬ ward Gerry Archard, clever ball-handling of Charlie Chorlton, and aggressive rebounding of Ace Dan Salmon rounded out the first five. They were ably assisted by a strong bench. A fine team with a great fighting spirit represented S.H.S. in 1955. CAPTAIN STEVE 7ecA- The Terrible Six under the able coaching of Miss Bachand finished the 1955 season with an admirable record. The offensive part of the team was composed of high scorer Stretch Douthwright who held the position of co-cap¬ tain with sharpshooter Pat Chorlton, and set- shot artist Stasia Gateriewictz. The defensemen, Jane Burns, Elbe Martin, and Anne O’Connell, held the scores of our opponents to a minimum. The spirited Jay-Vees and our ever-ready bench contributed to a very successful season. CO-CAPTAIN STRETCH ' ' CO-CAPTAIN PAT ELLIE OKE JANE STASIA ' Tfawiy Somerset High School had one of its most successful seasons, as the Raiders captured the Narry League crown and advanced to the semifinals of the State Tourney. The Kin- eavymen compiled a very impressive 19-3 record, and were beaten only once in league play. The Raiders were knocked out of the tourney in the semifinals by the champion Whitman team after racking up an important win over Holliston. The fiery Somerset outfielder Tony Soares, was elected captain for 1955. SOMERSET BASEBALL 1954 9- 7 Dartmouth .0-0 12- 8 Westport .1-1 3- 4 Taunton .

Somerset took six first, three seconds, one third and the relay to beat the bigger Durfee team by score of 47 to 30. Next on the list came a tri-team meet at Walpole; final score, Somerset 51, Walpole 22, Foxboro 7. After Walpole, came the meet for which the boys had been pointing—the Narry Meet. Headed by Torres, McGowan, Burgess, Fleck, Lockett, Chorlton and O’Con¬ nell, the team put on the heat and walked away with the meet, winning by 26% points. Final standings were Somerset 39%, Dighton 13 1 ?, Case 16%, Westport 7. Following the Narry meet the team traveled to Bridgewater, where the boys put on another great show, squeezing out a thrilling victory over strong Middleboro by % of a point. Looking ahead to ’55 we see the team, led by Captain Tony Torres, making another clean sweep. Charlie” Itch” Steve” Under the able coaching of Miss Bachand the track team of 1954 com¬ pleted its successful season at the Narry League Meet. The Raidcrettes displayed their ability by gaining three first places, one second, one third and two fourths. This enabled them to clinch second place. Spearheading the team’s attack were Nancy Douthwright, Pat Chorlton, Stasia Gaterie- wictz, Irene Dupere, and Priscilla Lodge. After the Narry Meet, Mr. Luti assumed coaching duties of the Raid- erettes. At the N.E.A.A.U. meet in Boston, Pat Chorlton broke the A.A.U. New England broad-jump record with a leap of 15’ 11”. Nancy Douth¬ wright made a fine showing by taking second place with 4’ 6” in the high jump. With their time of 60:02 seconds, the relay team, composed of Eleanor Martin, Pat Chorlton, Joan Benevides, and Meridith Thwaite, took a second place. At the New England Meet in Needham, the girls once again displayed their ability. Stretch” took third place in the high jump, Pat Chorlton clinched second in the broad jump, and the relay team took fourth place. Pat” Elbe � I Here it is; the work is done.
