They live forever in our hearts instead. itiifc ' How exciting these years have been With their many problems and our will to win. The path was nigged but the goal is near, And we face the future without doubt or fear. The encouragement of a teacher, the smile of a friend . They last forever, they never end. Our memories will linger through many a year; Through darkness or sunshine, through sorrow or cheer. How fast the years in school have fled; Four years of life forgotten, dead. No, not forgotten! Never dead! They live forever in our hearts instead. m§£m . - -r. 4 5 D ecUcctft t MR.

Mr. O’Toole, a graduate of Fitchburg Teachers College, earned his Bachelor of Sci¬ ence in Education degree from Bridgewater State College in 1931, and received his Master’s Degree in Education from Boston College in 1935. Prior to coming to Somerset, he served as teacher in the Templeton, Massachusetts, Public Schools for one year. He was appointed teacher of grade eight and coach of athletics at the Pottersville School in 1926 and the following year was elected • Principal of Somerset Village School. In 1936 he was appointed Principal of the new Somerset High School and served in that capacity for ten years until his appointment to the superintendency in 1946. During his administration the Somerset Schools have more than doubled their enroll¬ ments, increasing from 990 to the present day total of 2334. Mr. O’Toole served on all of the Survey and School Building Committees since 1946 and was the originator of the plans for Veterans Memorial Gymnasium and Hanson Memorial Field. r. ' V .

We hope that you are prepared to face the future with con¬ fidence and enthusiasm. As you leave our halls of learning, the best wishes of your Superintendent and School Committee go with you. Somerset believes that you will be faithful to her teachings and an honor to her name. You have had four wonderful years during which most of you have studied hard and developed in a great many ways. To succeed in the game of life will take much of your time and energy. Please remember that real success is not to be measured in the material possessions that you accumulate but rather in the spiritual contributions that one makes. Our school department stands ready to help you in the future as in the past. Do not hesitate to call upon us if we can be of assistance. Sincerely, Superintendent June 1, 1961 May the successful completion of these years of growth in stature, in knowl¬ edge, in understanding, and in appreciation of the ideals of your country, home, and school be ever reflected in your daily lives and may your lives be shining reflections of the ideals of Somerset High School. Sincerely, Mr. Edward J. Kaylor 9 ADVISOR EDITOR Mr. O’Brien Pauline Vaillancourt The sound of happy voices, die spirit of good sports, the molding of ideals and aspirations—all blend into our high school experiences. With the sincere hope of bringing a worthy souvenir of significant days at the Somerset High School to its many loyal students, the Staff has de¬ voted many hours of work. We feel that your satisfaction with this volume is our compensation, and with this thought, the Staff presents to you MEMOIRS XXIV.

Her studies consisted of American history, sociology, psychology, and English. Asako is a graduate of Shiyonan High School. She plans to teach English in Japan. Asako found the students and faculty of S.H.S. friendly and helpful. At first it was difficult to get acquainted with many of our customs, but once she did this, she found American studies and customs similar to those in Japan. Asako enjoys new experiences where she can meet people and learn of America ways. She finds American movies very enjoyable and says spaghetti is one of her favorite foods. The students of S.H.S. have found it a pleasure to have Asako attend school here. They hope when she returns to Japan in September, she will remember Somerset High School as a place where she has furthered her knowledge and has gained many friends. 47 49 We, the class of 1961, being of sound mind, do ordain and publish this to be our last will and testament.

We first entered Somerset High as typical excited, eager freshmen. We had looked forward to this day for so long—the day when we’d actually be in high school. As freshmen, the first thing on the agenda was the election of the officers who were to lead our class. During our Freshman year S.H.S. athletes worked hard to make S.H.S. a noted school. Inspired by Coach Kinney, the Raiders were by far the best basketball team in the Narry League, compiling a record of 15-1. Under the guidance of Mr. Kineavy, the 1958 base¬ ball squad had an impressive record of 12 wins and 6 loses, finishing third in the Narra- gansett League. Coach Simpson guided the track team in competition with Class C” and B” teams. As a result, Somerset was again named Narry Champs for the seventh consecu¬ tive year. In football the Raiders worked hard, but lost the 49’ers trophy to Case. With the election of officers, our Sophomore Class made an auspicious start. Elected to lead our class were Chris Whitcomb as President, Paul Joly as Vice President, Janice Normandin as Secretary, and Ray Lafleur as Treasurer. Linda Souza and Pete McGowan served as Girl and Boy Councillors. In striving to establish a treasury we sponsored the annual Christmas dance called Christmas Capers,” which turned out to be highly suc¬ cessful. The 1958 football squad proved to be one of the most powerful units in the football annals of Somerset High. In posting their eighth consecutive win against Turkey Day Rival Case, Somerset gave Coach Carlin Lynch an undefeated, untied record in his first year at Somerset. Also, with the completion of the 1958-59 basketball season, Somerset qualified for the Tech Tourney for the sixth consecutive year. Under the able direction of Sherm Kinney, the Raiders finished second in the Narry League. A second place Narry League finish and a tourney birth were the results of the 1959 baseball squad. Scholastical¬ ly, athletically, and socially, our Sophomore Class contributed much to our school. After a short summer vacation, we began the second half of our high school career. We were now upperclassmen, another step toward our goal as seniors. We elected a new slate of officers to lead us as juniors. Under the able direction of Miss Nowacki, our class advisor, Gerry Morris was elected as President, Diane Smith as Vice President, Bev Du¬ quette as Secretary, and Pete McGowan as Treasurer. The Junior class gained representa¬ tion in the student government with the election of Margaret Hitchen as Vice President and Pauline Vaillancourt as Secretary. A 20-0 victory over Case on Thanksgiving Day made the Blue Raiders first champions of the Tri-County Football Conference. Under the leadership of Head Coach Carlin Lynch, Somerset retained the 49’ers trophy for the second year. The 1951-60 basketball team worked hard and upset Champion Case to finish with a 10-4 record and in second place in the Narry Basketball League. Juniors on the squad were Jack Tinsley, Milt Foulds, Ken Arruda, Bob Durfee, Pete McGowan, and John Pereira. The baseball and track teams worked equally as hard and had successful seasons. Under the leadership of Miss Nowacki, the Junior Class sponsored the biggest social event of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom. Sayonara” was chosen the theme and proved to be highly successful. Highlights of our junior year were receiving our class rings, the excitement of the an¬ nual Case Rally, and the selection of Ken Arruda, Pete McGowan, and Pauline Vaillan- court to represent Somerset at Boys’ State and Girls’ State. The summer flew by and we were now Seniors, the highest step in our goal. With Mr. Kaylor, our new principal, to direct us, we were determined to make our senior year the most successful of our years at Somerset High. Miss Mason, our class advisor, led us in choosing the class officers for our senior year. Gerry Morris was again elected to lead our class as President, with Vice President Bev Duquette, Secretary Judy Cleaves, Treas¬ urer Danny Maloof and Boy and Girl Councillors John Fitzsimmons and Cathy Rogers. Ken Arruda was elected to head the Student Council with Preston Zacamy as Treasurer. The football squad, directed by our new Head Coach Sherm Kinney, worked hard but lost the 49’ers trophy to Case. The Raiders were ably led by Co-Captains Fitzsimmons and McGowan. Ken Arruda and Jack Tinsley were elected co-captains of the basketball team, which after eleven straight victories qualified for the Eastern Mass. Tech Tournament. The baseball team, captained by Steve Winslow, and the track team, guided by Captain Gerry Morris, also had successful seasons. As the days flew by and we were measured for our caps and gowns, we became filled with the excitement of graduation. The Yearbook Staff, Mr. O’Brien as Advisor and Pauline Vaillancourt as Editor, was hard at work. Plans for the banquet and the prom were made, and Senior Orals were taken. The Senior Class was honored by the selection of Pam Reiser, as Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow, and Pete McGowan, as a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship Competition. Then came the banquet, the prom, and gradu¬ ation! The goal which we had sought for four years was finally achieved. We were not only proud, but we felt a twinge of sadness as we realized we would no longer be an active part of Somerset High School. Now, as I finish reminiscing, I no longer feel a sadness, but a deep anticipation and excitement of what is to come. I realize that my high school years were a necessary foun¬ dation on which my future life was to be based. @Cc 14A One day on my way to school, my mind wandered beyond that realm which only those with a deep imagination can travel. I began to think about myself and my fellow seniors. What would we be doing 10 years from now? What would Somerset be like in 1976? I thought deeply about these things and suddenly caught between the pit of my fears and the summit for fny future hopes, I found myself in the Twilight Zone.” The scene I came upon was the high school. The school was much larger and I was surprised to see the hundreds of students filing into the building. Accordingly there were many new members on the faculty as a result of the increased enrollment. I saw such teachers as Helen Phillips, Bob Durfee, Roy Lawton, Connie Bennett. I also learned that Gail Waye, Pam Reiser, Jean Kott, Leslie Spanick, Diane Smith, and Susanne Bell were teaching at the elementary level. I left the school to view the rest of Somerset 1976. I walkd up County Street, and I spotted a new office building a short distance from the school. In the office building, a well-known women’s magazine called Ladies Only” with Andrea Gateriewictz and Mary Cabral as sports consultants, Doreen Perry as head of fashion designing, Dale and Toby Bloom as education experts, Eileen Perry as art director, Janice Normandin, editor, and Charlotte Parent and Susan Johnson as assistants. Looking up the sides of this impressive structure, I saw familiar names on the windows with pro¬ fessional titles. I saw Douglas Bond, Dentist; Mike Driscoll, President of the American Tobacco Company; Linda Souza’s Art Studio. On my way into the building I saw Mary Borges, Linda Corey, Judy Caouette, Private Secretaries; Theresa Barboza, Barbara Sta- chow, Veronica Benevides, Stenographers. Wandering down a side street to Riverside Avenue, I saw Charlie McKinnon giving fishing instruction at his dock, where people hired fishing yachts from his large fleet. Not too far from the dock I watched the construction of another bridge across the Taun¬ ton River. In charge of this project was James Rebello. I then journeyed to the Center by a side street. Along both sides of the street were tall modern apartments which had just been finished. The signs on them read, Constructed by Fortier, Joly, and Lial Builders Inc.” On arrival, I was greeted by still another surprise. There was a new city hall, and next door was the new police station. On the front steps of the city hall, I met Mayor Gerry Morris with councilmen John Fitzsimmons, Daniel Maloof, Bob Pelletier, Art DeForge, Milton Foulds, and John Pereira. While at Town Hall, I met Bev O’Brien, recruiting officer for the Women’s Marine Corp. 56 At the police station I met Chief Jack Tinsley, and Patrolmen George Labreche, Billy Martin and Walt Wisniewski. I continued my walk along County Street and was amazed at the number of businesses. Among the prosperous enterprises I noticed were Cathy Roger’s Art Supplies,’’ Zac’s” an elegant restaurant, Jocelyn Cote’s perfume shoppe, Patty V’s Clothing Centre, Jackie Thibault’s Accounting Office, and Simons and Chagnons Gas Station. The brightest lights, however, read, Rebello’s Pad.” Inspecting this place further, I found it to be a respectable night spot. I saw Dan Kaylor, who was a well-known author. In this establishment I met the night’s attraction. It was David Ray, popular comic, and his hot jazz quartet of Ray Borges, Bill Knecht, and A1 Botelho. Hotel Pottersville” was my lodging for the night, Bev Duquette and Beth Brearley, Proprietors. The next morning I bought a newspaper called the Somerset Journal,” edited by Pauline Vaillancourt. Margaret Hitchen had her own column called Dear Hitch.” I read in the sports section that Steve Winslow’s Blue Raiders had won the championship aga ' n, and Rabbits” Lacroix was the newly appointed manager of the 1976 Boston Red Sox. I saw too, an advertisement for Allen Bridge’s health course at his own gym. Buffington Park was next on my list. I sat down on a bench and remarked to the person sitting next to me that the landscaping and trees were particularly healthy and well-pre served. I was not surprised when the person informed me that Mike Affonso was respon¬ sible for the beautification of the park. In the park I admired a statue of Ken Reback, soldier of fortune, at whose feet I met and talked with Peter McGowan, philosopher and retired businessman. At the edge of the park I saw the new Civic Auditorium, where Marie Nannery, internationally famous vocalist, was giving a performance. In the audience I discovered Alan Hahn, author; Stanley Kozikowski, poet; Chappell Cory, scientist; Stan¬ ley Marsden, spiritual leader; Carleen Hodgson, Mrs. Housewife 1976”; Judy Cambra, linguist; Dee-Ann Harris, Hollywood columnist; Val Maynard and Ken Arruda, T. V. stars; Lee Johnson, geologist; Richard Burbank, playwright; Robert Taylor, commercial artist; Pat Lynch, and Eleanor Menezes, famous hair stylists. I left the auditorium soon after the show and passed the new Municipal Hospital where I saw nurses Charlotte King, Barbara DuLeba, Judy Raposa, Martha Pierce, and Ruth Waring busily administering medical aid to their patients. But suddenly it was 1961 again and back to reality. I thought to myself about my jour¬ ney into the future and concluded that, too, would be reality. z ' Mischievous Seniors! Watch the Fingers!

' S. ' PootUM I960 Under the able guidance of head coach, Sherman Kinney, and assistant coaches Robert Simpson, James Sullivan, and Charles Carpenter, Somerset Blue Raiders completed an¬ other winning season. The season started on a sad note as a green Somerset team dropped its opener to per¬ ennial powerful Mansfield. The following week, the Raiders romped over Barnstable in their first Tri-County contest. Four successive Saturdays saw the Raiders maul Bourne, Falmouth, Dighton, and Bris- ton County Dartmouth. The next game was with powerful Wareham for leadership of the Tri-County League. The Raiders lost a tough one to Wareham but still had hopes of a share of the title. Final game on the schedule was our next door neighbor, Case, whom the Raiders met on Hanson Memorial Field. A fired-up Case eleven upset the Blue and White in a hard- fought contest, undecided until the final game. Somerset’s superb defense held the opposition to a mere 42 points. Opponents were thwarted countless times by outstanding defenders. Key figures on the defensive team were Alan Hahn, Alan Bridge, Stan Kozikowski, Paul Joly, and Ed Motta. Offensively the Raiders attack from the second to the seventh game over-powered the opposition. Hustling John Fitzsimmons and glue-fingered Gerry Morris were the out¬ standing ends in the County. Hard-charging Pete McGowan, speedy Russ Rapoza, and burly Stan Marsden opened huge holes for the backs. Jimmy Rebello did an excellent job as quarterback once again. Triple-threat Steve Wins¬ low was the work horse of the backfield. Co-Captain John Fitzsimmons and Steve Winslow were selected by sportswriters to the All Tri-County First Team. 92 t t s4ctco t 93 So H i et 94 Yogi Fred CO-CAPTAINS: J. Fitzsimmons, P.

' rtytetontf Once again the Somerset High School Basketball team has captured the Narry League B. B. Crown. This came as no surprise to Somerset fans who watched the mightiest Raider team in many a year, a veteran squad with great depth and a fierce desire to excel. Led by a strong starting five all of whom were good shooters and consistent scorers, the Raiders easily proved they were the class of the league. A combination of good ball handling and snappy passing set the stage for scoring. One of the strongest points of the Raider offense was the deadly shooting from the freethrow line. However, a basketball team is nothing without a good defense and the Raiders seemed to prove the proverbial expression that a strong defense is the best offense.” Of the players composing this brilliant team, nine are seniors. The height department was made up of McGowan and Arruda, both of whom shared starting honors at center and shot well from underneath the basket. Bob Durfee, voted as the best back court man in the league, baffled opponents with his ball handling skill and shooting. Steve Winslow, one of the best shooters in the league with dazzling jumps, was top scorer for Somerset. Foulds and Tinsley are also top notch shooters primarily from the foul line. The ability to score is what made the team great. There is no one man who consistently claims scoring honors. The other players who did not start but played a great role in the Somerset Campaign are George Labreche, who filled in at center, Alan Brige, a fancy ball handler, and John Perreria, a corner shot artist. It was this strong bench that gave Somerset a depth that proved too much for league competition. This well balanced attack and strong bench will make ”61” a memorable year for Raider fans. 99 B.

With Captain Jerry Morris as a nucleus along with seniors Jim Rebello, Dick Burbank, Bil Knecht, Preston Zacamy, David Ray, Alan Hahn and John Fitzsimmons. The Raiders are expected to equal or surpass last year’s showing. A touch of underclassman aid will be lent by Willard St. Onge, Keith Marsden, and Byron Waring. After a brilliant indoor performance with Captain Morris setting a S.H.S. record in the 600, the team is expected to do well in the spring. Coach Simpson and Captain J.

THE SOMERSET HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM finished another season and once more captured the Narry League Baseball championship. Under the leadership of Coach Jack Kineavy, the boys compiled an 11-3 record losing only to Westport, Appono- quet and Holy Family. This year’s seniors who are expected to play a leading role in the 1961 campaign are Steve Winslow, Ken Arruda, Milton Foulds and Ron Chagnon, whose combined heavy hitting and fine fielding last year spurred the Raiders to the crown. They compiled a .311 Batting Average, including 5 home runs, 6 triples, 10 doubles, and a grand total of 78 hits. With such depth it seems certain that S.H.S. is on the way to another brilliant season and possible retention of the Narry Title. !06 COACH Mr. Kineavy MANAGER Robert LaCroix Steve Milt Ronnie Kenny Danny 107 VARSITY FIRST ROW: D.
