The Stay? Having Finally reached the end of our high school days, we, like all other previous senior classes, must leave. During these short four years, we all exper- ienced the joy and happiness that is inevitable in our association with teachers. classmates. and school activities. Dear Friends, Unfortunately, the usual happy memories of high school days were -marred by the advent of war. XYith the war came the need for lighting men. ln answer to their countryls call, many boys from Clinton left their homes. school and friends. Ainong our own classmates were: Chuck Toner. llugh Phillips, lack Fleming, Ronald lNlorehouse, Frank Blake, Albert Griffin, jim Marcellus and Ralph Guido. To these boys, who have given and are so courageously and unself- ishly giving their strength and energy during the best years of their lives, we wish to humbly express our deepest and most sincere gratitude. Let us hope that we shall be able to keep faith and show courage as we continue our journey in life, so that we may fulfill the duties and obligations that we are certain to encounter. Let us further hope that victory will soon bring world peace and once again happy family reunions. ,Xt this time l would like to express my gratitude to all those people who have in any way contributed to the success of the animal of 1945. Sincerely yours, Lois Rl. Dwyer.

Facult To the Members of the Class of 1945 Clinton Central School My dear young Friends: To you about to tinsh your high school years l extend mv congratulations and best wishes. You may be sure that in the years ahead we at the school shall follow you with benevolent interest. .Xs the survivors of a group three times your present number, you have persevered to the end and have arrived at the goal set for you thirteen years ago. This is no simple achievementg many have fallen by the waysideg your accomplishment augurs for you future success. You are about to enter the world of attairs more actively during one of the great revolutionary periods of history. The greatest war of all time is partly tin- ished and complete military victory is on the horizon. llowever. the danger of los- ing the real victory is very great. We have been told that we are lighting this war to destroy the universal enemy of manltind4Fascism and everything for which it stands. llo not be deceived. however: force alone cannot abolish and has not abolished the ideas upon which dictatorship is based. The forces of greed, hate and intolerance still stalk the earth and are rampant even in our own country. The battle for a decent world must go on and must be fought against those who would put their fellow men in bondage. 1 believe you people have been trained to carry on such a war, not with the sword but with the pen. word of mouth and good example. l urge you to play your part well. holding fast to the noble qualities of freedom, justice and tolerance with the hope the day may sometime come when we can be justly called civilized. Sincerely yours. Rlcnaian j. R.n.Pn l6hv 6 fwiiff' D V T0 1945 CLINTONIAN .45 D .

Senior Student Council The Council this year composed of twelve members. with Seniors hold- ing all four offices. Quentin Brown is the President, Bill Hanieline, Vice-Presb dent, Bob Greene. 'l'reasurer. and jennifer Verwiebe. Secretary. This year the group carried out plans for Connnunity Day. which was a great success, and took charge of the Bond Auction at school, which measured up to last year's highly successful event. Plans are now being carried out for the revision of the Constitution, and a committee is also working on a six-point plan which would give letters to students outstanding in other tields besides athletics. lflecause of increased interest and hearty participation in problems brought up, this 1944-1945 Student Council has been the most active in recent years, a fact which should make the students proud of their own organization. 1945 CILTNTONIAN wel Dececco , to , g mg .MW , E First r0rt'YlXlacGregor, Dionne, Maloney, Sator, Mair, Burns, Evansg .rurrmd rote-Collmer, Burdick, Hofnieister, Marriottg third rim'-VVeil.

Challenger Stay? Many of you have, at one time or another, passed room 208 and heard strange mutterings such as deadline'l, printer's dummyn, pages of type . emerging from within. By now. however, you are not alarmed, for you have discovered it is the staff of The Challenger working frantically to have the paper on sale by next Tuesday. Under the guidance of Sally Foster. llditor-in-Chief. and our faculty advisors-Miss Moore, Miss Dawes and Mr. Rahmlow-the paper has fared rather well this year in spite of a moth-eaten and slightly bedraggled collection of jokes twe have expected to be sued by Hob Hope for some time nowl.

VVhen the Service claimed a large part of the lower brass section, new hardships fell upon those who re- mained in the band. instead of divided responsibility and added support. every one's job became doubly difficult. ln spite of this. the organization performed in a very creditable and professional man- ner and. at the last concert of the season. proved its merit by performing one of the most difficult contemporary compo- sitions in bandliterature-Eric l.eiz- den's Overture Holiday Professional musicians who heard it were unusually enthusiastic about the display of tech- nique and control and quality of tone. ln addition to the regularly scheduled assembly programs. the band played for bond rallies and other special events. ln March they played. with the orchestra and chorus, in a concert sponsored by the Civic Group. A concert for the pa- tents at Rhoads Military Hospital was played in April. The Hand received a wonderful ovation from the men and were cordially invited to come again. soon, please! In the lfestival of Music held in May, once again they thrilled a packed house by playing Sousa Marches and other great works. On Memorial Day. the Marching Band went to Clark Mills and VVest- moreland and assisted the American Le- gion in their observation of the occasion. At present, 56 boys and girls are being trained to replace those in the band who will be leaving us in the next year or two. They are being taught by Mr. Hen- ry Schueler. Mr. VYilliam Schueler and Mr. liudesheim. Qrchestra livery year in most every school music department. we observe the disintegra- tion of stringed instrumental music. An orchestra with inadequate string com- pliment is handicapped so completely. that performance of standard orches- tral literature is impossible. The student body, faculty, and residents of Clinton are not aware of this simply because there is no disintegration in this field. The orchestra has long been known in this section of New York State as hav- ing had the most complete and well bal- anced string group of any Centralized School representing the New York State Music Association. ln concerts this group always presents well known com- positions for the string choir and, at the Festival of Music in May, played what is perhaps the best known and best loved of this type of music. Last Springf' by Edward Greig. Players from the Utica Symphony orchestra were unbounded in their praise on the quality of the perfor- mance. The orchestra. in addition to the reg- ular assembly programs. ,played for the Christmas Music. In conjunction with the ,lunior and Senior Choirs. they pre- sented our favorite program of the year. Music For Christmasfy In May the group visited our neigh- bors at New Hartford and played a con- cert for the students and their faculty. We can say, with certainty. that never has our orchestra been more enthusias- tically received. VVhat began to look like ..,.. -r ,l i l i ,J 28 194-5 CLINTONIAN CEI. . .,,, W- Y . ,iw Y, W, i .7 W W-.. . ,YW ,jsp a very trying forty-five minutes turned out to he a most pleasant experience. and a letter written to Mr. liudesheim sum- med up briefly the feelings of the au- dience. ln part it read 'Alt was the finest assembly we've ever hadf' And if their response to every selection played by the Clinton Orchestra was any indication of it, we believe they meant every word they wrote. The performance of Mr. Budesheinfs Paraphrase on Children's Songs climax- ed a very successful year for the orches- tra. They did a noteworthy piece of work on this difficult and complex selec- tion. Once again, Utica musicians and critics were in the audience, and once again they expressed their delight in having found a high school orchestra capable of performing like a professional group, with attention paid to everv mus- ical detail. The orchestra was present at our .Xu- nual Commencement and played the Processional for the Senior Class and VVagner's l'rocessional of the Grail from Parsifal. Mr. llahn. stringed instrument in- structor. is now busy preparing new players on violin. viola, cello, and double bass to fill the places of those who will be graduated in the next few years. The Senior Choir The Choir first appeared on a public assembly in October when they sang a group of four selections. The usual dififi- culties were at hand-lack of boys' voices. llowever, shortly after. our bass and tenor quota was completed and prep- arations were begun for the Choir s most taxing, yet enjoyable, event of the year. the Christmas Music. ln previous years this l'rogram was presented only as a public assembly dur- ing the school day. Many requests from those residents of Clinton unable to at- tend at that time prompted us to present it again. as an evening concert. Saturday evening at 8:15 the auditorium was filled to capacity. The Senior Choir' sang six selections, notable among which were lithel Lorenz singing the lrish Lullaby in an arrangement that also featured three violins. and an excerpt from llan- dells Uratorio. the Messiah, H.-Xnd the filory of the Lord. llighlights on the program were numbers that both Senior and junior Choirs sang with echo effects. After having sung another Public .Xs- sembly in February the Choir went to llotel llamilton in Utica for a broadcast over XYTRX as a part of the Cavalcade of Choirs sponsored by the Station. They also took part in the concert spon- sored by the Civic group in April. ln May, the chorus finished its regular activity with the performance of six se- lections on the Festival of Music. Their work was praiseworthy and showed evi- dence of hard work and competent musicianship. XYhen one considers that this group, even though it is a major nmsical organization in our school, has no regular rehearsal time. and must use the noon hour' for their rehearsals, their work becomes even more praiseworthy. and they are to be commended on their effort and accomplishment. ln the Finale to this year's liestival. the Senior and junior Choirs. with the Hand, once again impressed their audi- ence with their clarity of diction. quality of tone. and general response in what proved to be the high-spot in activity presented by our Music Department, Roger Young and the lfour Freedoms, written and arranged by Mr. Hudesheim. Members of the Music llepartment who acted as Narrators for the Cantata were Elizabeth lfluckley. tiertrude llierce. blames Scala, Peter McCabe, and Mloanne Grifhn. Soloists with the Choir who were fea- tured this year included lithel l,orenz Rose Falbo. 'lanet Coe.

The girls chosen as Junior Varsity cheerleaders were: Rose Buckley, Ethel Burton, Lois Coyne. Lois Dwyer, Helen Fleming. and Isabel Marcellus. :Xs a First time is always the worst time, we were a little shaky when we ran ont to lead a cheer. Nevertheless: cheerleading turned out to be great fun. After two years, Lois Coyne left us and was replaced hy Marion Spink with Dorothy Yl'entworth substituting. ln 1942, the seven of us became Varsity cheerleaders. Since then, we have all worked together and have tried to build up a good cheering section. .Xt times, we had little cooperation from the student boclyg but usually, they were responsive. Now, we wish to thank Miss jores for her excellent leadership and Coach Furiel for his kindness in trying to transport us to the games. W IGN' ..g4.....a.A..........-A 1945 CLINTONIAN Class Poem By HELEN FLEMING As the class of '45 we will depart, VVith a sorrow and a longing in our heart. For the many pleasant moments we have had, As we grew from tiny girl and tiny lad. Now we say adieu to all our friends, As at last our school days end, And though hardships have prevailed, As through four long years we've sailed, VVe are thankful for the lessons we have learnedg Thankful for the education earned. As we strolled from class toclass each day, Gradually our time did pass awayg And now that we have reached the peak, And have sought the education we did seek, XYe shall leave you all behind, And hope the Class of '45 will linger in your mind.

IQ' 'Tl 4 'i l i .,,. 1945 CLINTONIAN Class History It was the fall of '41,and onabright, sunny day into the school swaggered the members of the new freshman class land swagger we didj, for' we were new freshman entering a world of adults and we knew it. VVe were at last in high school and many of our eighth grade friends were amazed at our newly found- ed caste system when we didnlt even speak to them at first. But then how could we lower ourselves to speak to mere junior High Students when we were in Senior High? After managing to calm our ego for awhile, we took a look at ourselves. VVe were a class of 79 out of which Z5 had been together since first grade. XYe got off to a good start with Chuck Toner, presidentg Hugh Phillips, vice- presidentg Lois Dwyer, secretaryg Helen Fleming, treasurerg and Moe Phillips, student council representative. For the first time we felt united as a class and started serious plans which amounted to a Halloween Party. We ducked for apples, fed each other water, blindfolded, with spoons and tried to re- arrange the cafeteria furniture to suit our tastes. The entertainment at the party was local talent which came spontaneous- ly. Mr. Arnott provided his own abso- lutely unrehearsed show when he slipped on the water spilled on the floor. After performing all kinds of antics, he regain- ed his composure an-d with a sigh of resignation sat dejectedly in the puddle. After awhile we had our' first dance and although we didn't have an orchestra the dance was quite a success. In our freshman year, many of our fellow students displayed great talent. Ethel Lorenz sarted her vocal solos 3 Bob- by Brown began to fascinate us on the plillltl and Ethel Burton amazed us with her cooking talent. We have always en- couraged new ideas and we believe Ethel was first person to make cookies with cold cream instead of lard or' spry. Al- though her cookies didn't taste quite the same as usual, they were really good and for friendship's sake we managed to eat them with the aid of a pitcher of water and bicarbonate of soda. From our class Harriet Hopp, Eilene Cosgrove, Ethel Lorenz, Rose Falbo. Ot- to Stressel, Paul Rizzo, and Bob Brown all contributed much in talent to the or'- chestra and band. Many of the future stars of basket- ball and football gained valuable exper- ience during this year. Among those who went out for these sports were: Ralph Guido, basketballg Bob Sheridan, hock- ey, and Hugh Phillips, baseball. What would a class be without a class joker -corny as he may be. One day a committee of us went down to see Mr. Sbineman about obtaining one and he wrote to several principals, but our best bet came from Mohawk. So, after a lot of red tape, priorities, and bribes, we were joined by Shorty Greene who has managed to keep our classes lively by his timely remarks. In one of our weaker moments, we wrote to the department of Agriculture for some information and they were con- siderate enough to send us a special rep- resentative in the form of Sally Foster who took us completely by storm with her latest weather reports and informa- tion on chickens. We couldn't finish our freshman year without comment on the ability of the class. .Xlthough we are prejudiced, we 1945 CLINTONIAN H00 . . IQ' believe that our class really was an un- usal one. NVe had one of the best girl athletic teams that took nearly every prize in field hockey.basketball, and base- ball. Many of the stars were excellent scholars too. We were very energetic. always ready and willing to work on any worthwhile project. XYe often felt our class had to uphold the school's honor even to the extent of a few black eyes collected during a slight disagreement with St. Francis over a basketball game. All the cheerleaders were freshmen and many of the boistrous voices hear'd dur- ing the games could be identified as those of our freshman rooters. Besides all this, we managed to keep our life nicely balanced by gay parties every other weekend. We will never for- get those daring parties, or shall we say our mothers will never forget them- when our mothers and the houses seem- ed to gain twenty years in age. By the end of our freshman year, we had already gained a reputation for our- selves. VVe were dependable, likeable students with a fine sense of humor and ambition. Now that we have given our opinion. we will talk about the teachers' opinions. Although our teachers repeat- edly told ns we were the noisiest and most talkative class. with our line sense of judgment we knew they were only fooling. By the beginning of our sophomore year, we were a little less green. NYe were more confident and could actually find our way around the upper floor. NYe elected Lois Dwyer, president and Helen Fleming, secretary. That dazed look that year in the boys' eyes was caused by nothing more than the arrival of jean McConkey and the girls, excuse was thelarrival of jim and Bill Burns. These arrivals were short in their stay. however, and life once again settled down to a humdrum existence. Several of the boys started to learn how to drive this year and here we would like to pause and put in a protest. We had nothing to do with the bent sign posts, knocked over hydrants, chipped corners and twisted trees. The trees got that way from a wind which we admit could have been caused by Quennie Brownls dash- ing tbrough town on his motorcycle. Every time we looked at him tif he were going slowly enough so we couldj there seemed to be no connection between the seat and him. tlf there are any awards being pased around, how about someone giving Quennie one for living a life of danger for two years-and still being ' as al1ve?Q lt was in our sophomore year that we had our Sophomore Hop which some jealous freshman changed to Flop on all the boards before the dance. It took us ages to change the notices back again. but we would like to ask one question- how could that freshman have foreseen the future? Seriously though. it was a great success and a good time was had by all. By the way, who turned ofif the lights during the dance that night? Guess nobody knows yet-do they. Sherdy? During our sophomore year, we dis- covered the library and soon forgot all about it when we discovered we had to be vouched for by two people. able to read and write, and had to have some purpose for going in besides to gossip with our friends. The Class of '45 would like to pay a brief tribute to Miss Rim- kus who has always been eager to give us assistance in finding material and books when we needed it. And now tmy friends??j how about giving our school a break and bringing back those books you-um-- borrowed a couple of years ago? However, we don't think that there has been any achievement which pleased ns so much as being able to get into the library. Our sophomore year seemed to be an 1945 CLINTONIAN 0-KD! -A ,I IQ' intermediate stop, more or less. in our advance. It marked the progress from the awkward stage to the sophisticated stage-at least we thought so. And to prove it the girls started to experiment- ally apply lipstick and the boys to pull out a cigarette now and then. Both of these daring attempts were made any place but where the watchful parent was, and too often they ended in the major calamity of putting lipstick in our noses, foreheads. or even hair or the boys' run- ning to the window gasping for breath. After a summer of practice, we mas- tered the act of being adults and lipstick was applied smoothly and expertly and many of the boys could smoke three cig- arettes without even coughing. We were ready to enter our Junior year and be- come upperclass men. We elected Charles Peckham. presi- dentg Rose Buckley, vice presidentg Dor- othy XVentworth, secretary-treasurer. As our funds were rather low, we tried to increase our treasury. We did this by having several sport dances and dances after basketball games. XYe often had a large crowd at these dances--after get- ting down on our knees and begging peo- ple to come, but, anyway, we got enough profits so we could at least think about our Junior Prom. We were also the first class to have an orchestra at a dance. Excitement ran high. for this was a big event in our lives and especially so because our class- mates were in the orchestra. Bobby llrown's orchestra was soon very popular and a larger crowd could usually be found gathered around it than on the dance fioor. At first it was only four piece. but soon added a fifth person, a blond singer from our class- Izzy Mar- cellus. The main event of our year was, of course, the Junior Prom. There was a mild discussionover the decorations and although it didn't exactly reach the heat- ed stage it was close. NVe decided to go patriotic with a huge red. white and blue flag adorning the roof of the gym. All agreed this was a splendid idea and we sat back in our chairs pleased with our- selves. How little didiwe know then! How innocent we were! The flag was quite easy to make ex- cept for a few minor details such-as the stars always coming off, the crepe paper tearing, the stripes 110t staying together, the paper stretching. but iinally it was complete. Now, we sighed, all we have to do is put it upf' lt would have been easy if it had not been for gremlins who were there in full force working a- gainst us and everytime we got one strip up another would come down Ora string would break, Finally it was finished and ahead of time-at least. ten minutes- and we took a last look. heaved a sigh and hurried home to prepare ourselves for our big night. It was worth all the trouble though when we entered later and beheld it safe and secure displaying all the gallantry and wonder our flag makes o11e feel. As for the Prom, itself. it was a huge success. The only thing we can't figure out. is why did everyone leave after intermission! The music by jack l.uzzi's Band was excellent and everything went along smoothly. Besides being a social success. we were greatly relieved to find it was also a financial success. In this year. we decided it was really time to get down to work and Miss How- lett arrived. Cwe have no ulterior mo- tives in mentioning these togetherlj She soon NVO11 us all with her friendly ways. Shorty Greene was also glad to see her come-but for financial reasons! Miss Jacobs also rejoined us in this year and was soon voted the best-liked teacher in school. She soon became fam- ous for not only her plays and height but 1945 CLINTONIAN -.nam iw also for public speaking classes. Anyone who has taken public speaking can un- derstand. XYell, at last we have reached our goal and we are Seniors. XYe look at the in- coming 7th graders and wonder if we could have ever been that small. and they look back and pray they won't ever be- come that big. After having admired each other's sun tans and trying to ignore the poor un- fortunates who have only freckles and sunburns to show for the summer, we started by electing Eilene Cosgrove, presidentg Ronald Altmire. vice presi- dentg Rose Buckley, Treasurerg Ethel Lorenz. secretary. In October again for financial reasons we decided on a Harvest dance with all the trimmings. A decoration committee was formed and one dark and quiet night we met down at the school. Soon Rose Falbo pulled up in a mule-drawn wagon and we were off on our adventure of crime. The mule was quite slow and sev- eral times we threatened to stop and put Rose in the harness so we could get somewhere. Our object was, of course, pumpkins and in spite of a few trivial objects such as a stubborn mule. rain, cramps and the danger of being caught, the party returned victoriously with the cart so full of pumpkins the raiders had to walk. The dance was a success from the social standpoint but a catastrophe in finance. Soon it was Christmas time and after long weeks of suffering we thought we fully deserved the long awaited vacation so we signed off with a Christmas pro- gram in which many of our members particpated. Ethel Lorenz will long be re- membered for her beautiful solo in The Irish Lullaby. But we must soon come back. for our vacation passed by and all were full of New Year's Resolutions to do our home- work. not to bother Miss Parker tspecial note to Bob Turner and Bob Greene. and not to talk in study halls. VVell. the thought was there anyway. After' we had been back awhile, we noticed something was amissg something was wrong and we soon knew we had lost our beloved Hu- ghie with his subtle humor and sound philosiphies. Although Hughie was bashful, we heard he got a proper send- off Eleven boys have left us since our Freshman year. They are: Ralph Guido. Hughie Phillips. Chuck Toner, Francis Blake, Bill Burns. John Fleming, Albert Griffin. james Marcellus. Ronald More- house, VVilliam Shuck and joseph Stern. VVe feel that we owe these boys some- thing more than a brief mention but we think they will understand that we have not forgotten them and that we know if times were normal everyone of them could have sat with us up on the gradua- tion platform. The dread and tortures of mid-years soon passed and we started to thing ser- iously about our futures. Most of us could think no further than getting that diploma in our hands and others started writing to schools for information. Paul Rizzo left us in january. Paul entered the University of N. C. and janet McKay graduated. Then April rolled around and Easter vacation seemed heaven sent. We spent Easter vacation differently but 11ot all of us had the luck to hold showgirls in our laps as did three boys who went to New York to celebrate their enlistment in the Navy. They were Blake Burdick, Bob Sheridan, and Bill I-lameline, who with john McConnell. Ken Eaton, and Bob Peck obtained war diplomas. We also took the long awaited trip to Utica to the city court and jail and be- lieve it or not we came back too. Miss l ,kg x .fl 1945 CLINTONIAN 2400 W IMI Howlett managed us all beautifully when we weren't going down to buy candy bars to last us through the long court sessions. After a hearty spaghetti dinner we walk- ed a short distance-12 blocks-in the pouring rain to the city jail. The jam jar was our really suc- cessful dancc, The committee spent many tedious hours behind closed doors draw- ing odd shapes while Izzy Marcellus stood by praying they would resemble the fruit they represented. The unusual fioor show helped to make this dance a success. , On a clear Friday morning, we were Senior Now that we Seniors are about to leave high school. we recall the lesson we've learned and the things that experience has taught us during these four years. In order that the juniors may avoid those mistakes which we, as Seniors. have made, we feel competent to say a few words to the wise. with the hope that this advice will be useful to them. Our class has been active and full of spirit, despite the fact that so many of our friends and classmates have been called into the ser- vice of our country, and so we wish to reveal to the juniors our formula for success. First of all. do your studies to the best of your ability. for conscientious study brings its own rewards. which may be Senior privileges, graduation guarantee or the honor roll. National Honorary Society and the Sportsmanship Brother- hood. You must have practice in doing your best in high school, if you intend to do likewise after graduation. lf you get disillusioned into thinking we were go- ing to get the whole day off but anyway we all went to Broadacres for T. B. tests. But they fooled us and we made the trip in two hours. XVell, at last the time has arrived that we have dreamed of for 12 years. Since we were dragged into the kindergarten with pigtails, kneesocks, notebooks and half-formed ideas. we have struggled for this day. VVe are coming out ready to take our places in the world which real- ization has been made possible through the efforts of parents and teachers. Oration in the habit of doing your studies every day. you will find it much easier to do your work and take things as they come after graduation. For procrastination and idleness in your school work will only make it harder for' you in the end, be- cause you, yourself. are no better than the next person. Participation in outside activities should be one of your main interests. You will enjoy doing these things, but -donit let them interfere with your school work. Enjoy yourselves thoroughly for your high school years are the best years of your lives, but don't let your enjoy- ment be at the expense of your school work, Relieve it or not, you will really profit by the advice of your teachers for their job is to help you get through school. In conclusion. we wish to advise the Juniors to get the most out of their Sen- ior year. but not to wait. necessarily, un- til then, for if you juniors enjoy life, waste not time, for time is life. 1945 CILINTONIAN Q60 -- IGN' Class Will I, Sam Acee, leave my wide shoulders to next year's football team.

El 1945 CLINTONIAN Humor Now that the Seniors are gone, it will be up to the rest of the school to equal their wonderful brand of humor+the kind you could detect a mile away. Per- haps it's just class pride, but I don't think that there are any jokes quite as nutty as these old chestnuts of the last Seniors: Butler: Sir, your car is at the door. Lionel: Yes, I hear it knocking. Maybe you heard Bob Peck telling Nancy Hahn not to go telling any secrets in the cornfields-there are too many ears around. And did you know that Shorty Green beats his parents up every morning? They get up at 7:30, and he gets up at 7:00. There was a terrible murder at Betty Evanis place the other day. A paperhanger hung a border! They say it was a put-up job too. Andione day Mr. Arnott was asking Ethel Burton if she knew anything about the great l7th century scientists and she said. Sure they're all dead. Back in the days when we took Latin, we were punnier than ever. Miss de la Porte asked Skinner what he knew about the Vestal Virgins and he replied, They got into all the games free. And then when she asked Hariet Hopp, Do you know how to say 'he orders'? Harriet answered, You bet! and the teacher said, Right! 'VVay back when we took geography one teacher asked Bobby Brown if he knew what the capital of Alaska was, and he said, No'm, at which the teacher shouted joyfully, Keerect ! Oh my, that was abdomenally clever, wasn't it? Gr couldn't you stom- ach it? Let us turn to travel fthe airisabit bad in herej and see what we can find 'to amuse ourselves. Maybe yould like to see some of my poems. XN'ell, you gotta anyway! Once Cozzie with wonderfull force Called out in the park for a horse. The Howers looked round But no horse could be found So she just rhododendron, Of course. ' .Xnd there's that 'poem someone wrote and dedicated to Quennie Brown: Ruth rode on my motorcycle In the seat in back of me. I took a bump at sixty-five And rode on Ruthlessly. Appropriate. n'cest-ce pas? Mary Ger- trude wrote a song for Graduation. VVan- na hear it? The tu11e is the same as Su- per Sudsu. Clinton High, Clinton High, Now's the time to say goodbye. Graduation's on its way, .That will be a happy day. And the one about me that was writ- ten: Your face you do not mind it, Because you are behind it, It's the people in front That bear the brunt. O. that's enough of the budding poets. Now they're in bloom. let's leave the room. Do you know what Felix said when he got those glasses? VVill I be able to read after I get my glasses, Doctor? 'fCertainly. That's line. I never could before, Hyuk, hyuk. hyuk. Then when Sally went to stay in New York, she said to the lady at the desk in the hotel, Can you give me a room and a bath, please ?', The lady replied, I can give you a room, but you'll have to take your bath yourself, of course. 1945 CLINTONIAN 1-ml . mv Emil: That candy youlre eating looks The judge answered, Fine, ten dollars. good. I think Bill Hameline is a little oft. The Ottie: It is good. other day, he was talking about wearing Emil: It makes my mouth water. Ottie: just to show you what a good guy I am. here's a blotter. Of course you heard about Mr. Ar- nott's eye. NYhen it rolled down the drain. he sighed. Oh rats. lost another pupil. And when the student declared, I don't think I deserve an F , Zeke said. I don't either, but that's lowest mark l can give on a test. Once Mort went in to see a judge and said, How are you, judge ? just Imagine: Lois Coyne with her homework done. Marion Spink without stars in her eyes. Bill Neenan working. Lois Dwyer with her hair mussed up. Gina Scala without gum. Ethel Burton not talking. Rose Falbo being grouchy. janet Coe in school for a whole week. Mr. Budesheim with blonde hair. Nancy Hahn remembering something. Rose Buckley without Shorty Greene. Eilene Cosgrove forgetting St. Pat- rick's Day. Harriet Hopp without jennifer wiebe. Helen Fleming without a smile. Ethel Lorenz not day dreaming. Mr. Baietti live feet tall. Izzy Marcellus not excited. Sally Foster without a boyfriend. Quentin Brown and Bob Turner not in detention for Miss Parker. Bob Brown having paper of his own. Miss Parker's homeroom next year without us. Otto Stressel hurrying. Mary Gertrude VVylie getting angry. Ronald .Nltmire playing a flute. Blake Burdick voting Republican. Emil Bond studying. Marjorie O'Brien in detention. Ver- wooden clothes-a lumber jacket, I think he said. VVell. now that we oldsters have told you our sacred twenty or so jokes for the last time, we must go on, and spread cheer in some more of the world. VVith our punsters gone. the school may joke on a higher level, but you wonit hear anyone guffaw like Rosie Falbo at any joke of you more serious students. Lionel Dykstra not roaming the halls.

Class Prophecy Members of the class were pleasantly surprised when they received a little ma- roon and white booklet in the mail the other day. It contained excerpts from the year's census findings, and it was quite interesting to note what former classmates are now doing. Lucky for us. Neil Schrader is in the printing division of Lthe Census Department in NN'ashing- ton. Of course, it wasnlt necesary to read this booklet to become aware of the hieghts some of our class have reached. lt wasn't too surprising to note that Sam Acee now runs a meat-packing con- cern out Chicago way. Ronnie Altmire zooms over the Clin- ton airport quite often on his transcon- tinental run. He sometimes stops to re- fuel at Charlie Peckhamls elevated gas station.
