Overrockerg third row-Neenan, Fox, R. Schuck, Peckham, Asmer, Guido. Baseball The 1942 edition of the Clinton baseball team appears to be headed for an- other excellent season. Loaded with power. pitching and fielding skill, the team has started out by easily beating all its opposition. Playing R. F. A. and St. Francis, two major opponents, the team had no trouble at all in subduing them. One of the reasons for the team's success is its strong pitching staff. Smokey Asmer, Ray Restle and Jim Lorenz can all be called on to pitch games that will make the opponents green with envy. The infield with John Schilling at third, Fido Hyde at short, Ray Restle at second and Owney Burns at first are all fielding stars as well as being dangerous with the bat. The outfield is steadied by the excellent play of Bill Hooson and the aggressive play of Dick Burns and Bill Fox. If the team does not get over confident it should coast in without a defeat. The player that has the key on the team is Captain Paul Schilling. XVith his excellent play and steadying qualities the team can't fail. Q'

Track Clinton started the 1942 track season with hopes for a good season running high. With many experienced runners and held stars returning. Coach Norman Parkhurst molded a formidable team from the veterans and eager newcomers. VVith only two days of practice each week to prepare for the meets the boys had to work extra hard in order to qualify in the time trials held for the meets as only those qualifying were taken on the trips. This year for the first time in Clinton history the track team won the Upper Mohawk Valley League track meet held at Colgate University. The team com- piled 48 points to 342 for its nearest competitor, XYhitesboro. New Hartford was third with 34. In the three other meets held this year, Clinton remained undefeated, conipilv ing scores of 58 points at Herkimer, 26 in the U.F.A. Invitation Meet and 36M in the Section Ill meet at Proctor.

100 1942 CLINTON IAN I l Class History To all members of the class of 1942 this is a twice told tale to you, but to our friends it is something new. So, dear readers, who would like a glimpse at this diary kept by our class during four' years of high school, we present it to you as it was written. September, 1938-School began! One hundred and one freshmen, attempting to maintain the reputation of former fresh- men classes, filed into the auditorium. How queer to start our high school car- eer after two years of comparatively easy work! Oh welll All things must have a beginning! Svpfrlniber, 1938-Elected class offi- cers. Bill Hooson was chosen president and Nick Ordon, vice-president. Mavis Daws is our secretary and Ray Restle is handling our finances. Our class is cer- tainly well represented. We'll be start- ing some activities pretty soon--we hope. Oh, forgot to say that Allan Risley is on the student council-class representative. Orfober, 1938-Halloween and a par- ty! Two very distinguished guests were there-Martha VVashington and a sheik. Mary Rose Glover, as Martha. won the prize for the most beautiful costume. Nowmber, 1938-Being a member of the varsity football team in the freshman year is a dream to most fellows but Bill Hooson and Ad Bird made it. Isn't that wonderful? Basketball will be starting pretty soon and we hope somebody from our class will be good enough to get on the team. Time will tell. Oh yes, Nella Kilbourn and Bernice Hemming are cheering our teams to victory. They're varsity cheerleaders. December, 1938-Girls' Sport Club was organized. That's something new in Clinton. Wonder how it will progress? There haven't been many girls in sports before but we seem to have an awfully lot of our female class members playing hockey, softball and basketball. We cer- tainly are ambitious! December, 1938-Ad Bird and Bill Hooson made another varsity squad- basketball! jumbo Abaied is manager, too. January, 1939-Everyone is too busy with midyears to think about anything else. Nothing happening. February, 1939-Wish something would happen. Nothing to do is making us dull and restless. Mizrch, 1939-SOII1Ctl'1lI1g did happen -Tower Club productions and Prize Speaking contest. The Kelly Kid with Kathleen Phillips and Breakfast with Bernice Hemming and Adro Acee par- ticipating from our class were presented. Fifi Morgan' certainly deserved that first prize! She told about Tom Saw- yer's Love Affair . Bet she'll give it in assembly some day. April, 1939-The funniest thing hap- pened! We went on a picnic to Dawes' Grove and it was so warm Allan Risley took his shirt off and laid it on the fence. When he came back for it. nothing was in sight. No wonder-a hungry cow ate it. Yes, a cow really did eat it-we found two little plaid strips of cloth hanging from its mouth. llflay, 1939--Everything is progressing normally. Teachers are talking about regents-already !
