Hearbcck £ta Mow to produce a yearbook that’s fun to read? Have fun compiling it. That theory has been the unwritten law. so to speak, and the motivating spirit of your 1950 Yearbook Staff. They liked their work and liked each other and they’ve been pulling the same oar for almost two and a half years. You’ll find things like the class will, write-ups. and candids, “bursting out all over” with typical Somerville High vitality. Kvcn such menial jobs as pasting pictures, proof-reading, assortment of data cards, and looking up stray quotations, were fun with a co-operative school spirit prevailing. Willingness, faithfulness, hard work, and a great deal of give-and-take were required, but what minor differences may have occurred from time to time were soon forgotten in the over all good nature that always pervades the jolly, informal atmosphere of the Ed-room. To Joan Wright, our unusually capable editor, may be thrown as many laurels as an editor can deserve. The importance to this yearbook of her original ideas, good taste, and executive leadership, can hardly be overestimated. To Miss MacPherson. ever-patient advisor of an often not-too-patient staff, all hat» off for without her knowledge of publication do’s and don't ’’ where would any staff Im ? It is our sincere and enthusiastic last wish that as you read this you an feeling completely satisfied (and maybe just a bit thrilled i with your yearbook, and that you will read it some day to your grandchildren with just as much pleasure.

Criteria! Dear Classmates: . . and may you have many happy memories of the school up on the hill” very aptly conveys the purpose of your stall in presenting this yearbook. At last, graduation is here! And we now advance into the future. But as we progress along this road of life we will never forget the days at 5.11.S. Even when the expectations of the years ahead en- gulf us with fulfillment, we will look in fond retrospect on our “green years” at 5.II.5. Our success in the future w ill he enhanced by our success in the past. The desire to accomplish will he supplemented by past achievements. The days ahead are unknown to our class of ’50 hut the days of the past are etched in our minds—never to be forgotten. Thus, your stall endeavored to present this key, the 1950 year- book to unlock the door of remembrance and reveal to you. your life at 5.11.S. Work for your yearbook began in June 1949. Even then, various ideas for covers, senior layouts, and division pages were discussed. Because our school seal seemed to express the determination of 5.H.5.. we felt that it would he a surprisingly attractive addition to feature it as part of the senior lay- out. Color was important! The 1950 blue must be a vital factor in our yearbook! Thus, the rich blue lines on the division pages. Decisions had been made! Work came next. Long hours were spent in compiling data, finding quotes, checking, identifying, and pasting pictures, writing copy and finally, proof-reading! Nevertheless, if you are content with the 1950 yearbook, the time and effort put into its publication will have received ample reward. We have tried to retell as much of your high school life as possible within these pages. You need only to flip a page, to see the highlights of the Scholarship Play; to view once again some of the exciting moments of the tourneys; to look upon the lunch room; to see the household arts department and manual training groups at work; to gaze upon the tense moments during the football season; or to look in on the Radiator dance once more! You will see your caps and gowns again, your graduation, prom, and class day! Rut most important of all in looking through your yearbook, you’ll see Mary and John and Billy and Jane, your S.H.S. friends- your pals! You’ll see the expert typist in the third period class, the “brain” in math: the “whizz” in chcm; the “Quiz Kid in history. Latin, French. You’ll see the outstanding singers and actors. You’ll see the “eager beaver” in your favorite activities. You’ll see the “guy and gal” who made “things tick.” Here they are in your 1950 Yearbook, waiting to help you relive your high school experiences! For we’ve lived a lifetime at S.H.5. This Yearbook is your log . . . your special record of this lifetime . . . of its friends and activities ... of its fun and laughter ... of its learning and discovery. This Yearbook is you and S.H.S. “. . . and may this annual bring you many happy memories of the school up on the hill.” May the 1950 Yearbook do just that! Sincerely, Joan Wright JOAN M.
