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!

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.
