Football Starting the 1941 season with many experienced veterans and a number of hardworking newcomers, Ralph Furiel, C1inton's line grid coach, turned out one of the best high school elevens in Central New York. Steadily improving in the last three years Clinton has gone from a second place standing in the league in 1939 to a three way tie with Whitesborfa and New Hartford in 1940 and a three way tie again with VVhitesboro and Canastota in 1941. g After a fine start in which Clinton won its first four games Wliitesboro tagged Clinton with its only defeat of the campaign 18-12 in a game played on a water soaked field. The team's greatest feat was at Ilion where Clinton came from behind to defeat llion 31-12 in a last-half surge of power that netted 24 points, while Ilion was held scoreless. From the records of other schools, it was found that Clinton had the highest scoring team in this section and was second in oints scored against.

19412 CClLlINTONlIAN l Z5 l 14570 we , Band Being the most highly commended and most enjoyed musical organization in school, the band, under the direction of Mr. Budesheim, deserves many lau- rels. Their summer was as active as the school year and each concert has been termed a success. Having received a one rating at the sectional competition, the Clinton Band further established its reputation as a superior high school band. Keen competition at the well-known Eisteddfodd did not daunt this ambitious group, as evidenced by their placing first to win the honored trophy and fifty dollars. Their ambition was further displayed at their -debut concert on the evening of March 13, 1942 which drew a great crowd of band lovers. As we look back upon these fine accomplishments, we are proud to say, continued success to this fine organization, its members and its conductor.
