DOUGLAS MOULTON The Class of 1953 dedicates its “Clintonian” to the memory of Sergeant Douglas Moulton, Class of 1947, who died while serving his country in Korea, and to his brother, Roger “Bucky” Moulton, Class of 1951, whose untimely death occurred while a student at St. Lawrence University. As we, members of the Class of 1953, cross the threshold of our school for the last time, the memory of the good will and fellowship of these two brothers will forever remain in the hearts of us all and will live long thereafter in the halls of Clinton High. [5] ROGER A. MOULTON ANN STEATES IN MEMORY We, the Class of 1953, preserve in this book as well as our memories, the cheerful smile and winning per- sonality of our former classmate, Ann Steates. Although she left us early in our careers in Clinton Central, we will always remember her and her friend- liness. [6} BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Stanley Germond, Mr. James Benson, clerk, Mr. Herbert Smith, Mr. Harold Osborne, Mrs. Sidney Van Allen, Dr. James Compson, President. MR. JOHN KARIN V ice-principal Known to many of us as just plain “Sam” our assis- tant principal has a humorous joke for every occasion. His ability to “pull” students through the math course has him billed as tops at Clinton High. MISS MARJORIE H. BRYDEN Secretary A cheerful “hello” is a typical trait of our secretary, Miss Bryden. Her friendly manner adds a pleasant atmosphere to the School’s office. [8} ChJiiL MR. RICHARD RALPH Mr. Ralph: We of the Class of 1953 wish to express our sincere gratitude for your guidance during our years of school. It seems only yesterday that we were confused Freshmen with what seemed to be four long years ahead of us. But through the friendly understand- ing of you and the faculty, these years have become a cherished memory to us all. We now have reached a long-awaited goal in our young lives, and we know the knowledge and experience we have gained here will help us to become better and more worthwhile citizens. In the future, as we take this book down from the shelf, the happy thoughts of our old high school days will come flowing back to us. Now as we all must take that eventful step into a world filled with joys and sorrows unforseen by many of us, we wish to thank you, Mr. Ralph and the School, who have acted as guiding lights and an inspiration to us all, and we wish to extend to you our utmost appreciation.

Thank you, THE SENIORS Thb TrwjJL Ojjj 0 out ulo xa£UM6j FRESHMAN YEAR We began our Freshman year by electing Eric Weber as class president, Dick Gilbert as vice-president, Lois Altmire as secretary and Cathy Sherman as treasurer. Our first money-making act was a bake sale by which we made $27.25. Our sports world was opened up this year with a great freshman football team headed by Joe 0‘Brien as captain. The team was spurred on to victory by the snappy cheering of Sue Hyland, Bev Dawes, Bev Rashford, Lois Altmire, Lee Kaido and Cathy Townsend, cheerleaders. Mary Grunert and Dick Gilbert were among the people chosen to attend the All- State music sectional at Manlius. The governmental body of the Junior High was headed by Eric Weber as president of the Little Three. Our Freshman year ended and we came back three months later to start our eventful Sophomore year. SOPHOMORE YEAR In our Sophomore year the profit-scooping carnival was our big project. From the sideshow to the basket-shooting contest, laughter filled the gym. We made enough money to put on one of the nicest Senior-Sophomore Receptions ever. For entertainment, the seniors put on a dissertation on school days which put everyone in stitches. Eric Weber headed the class again this year with the assistance of John Karin as vice-president, Cathy Sherman as secretary, and Cathy Townsend as treas- urer. Joe O’Brien, Phil Collmer and Jerry Doyle gained positions on the varsity football team and saw quite a bit of action. Phil Collmer and Mike Brewster adjourned the last class meeting to end our Sophomore Year. “School Days” [32] Mr. Seyse and Mr. Bray JUNIOR YEAR The Junior year usually brings to mind two things: class rings and the Junior Prom. We set to work on our rings right away and had them before Christmas. We went to Paris for our prom and presented “An Evening in Paris” with Betsy Fitchard as our queen. Our class was headed by John Karin as president, Joe O'Brien as vice-president, Cathy Sherman as secretary and Cathy Townsend as treasurer. Dick Gilbert attained the presidency of the Senior Student Council this year. At the close of the year we elected our yearbook staff so we could get started early in the September of ’52. The Queen and Her Court SENIOR YEAR The big year started when we elected Joe O’Brien as our president and Phil Collmer as his able assistant. Cathy Sherman and Cathy Townsend retained the offices which they capably filled for the third consecutive year. Dick Gilbert was elected as president of the Student Council. Joe O’Brien again headed the football team as he did as a Freshman but, this time, it was the Varsity. Joby Burns headed the “Clintonian” staff and we ended our high school career by recessing from the auditorium the night of graduation.

The Maroon and White opened their seven game chart with a 27-12 win over V.V.S. However, heart- breaking losses to Oneida and Cazenovia resulted in injuries to Seniors Joby Burns, John Karin, Charlie Zumbrun, and Mike Brewster, and Sophomores Dean Harrer and Don Foley. The ensuing losing efforts were the effect of the misfortunes. The team, held together by tape and high spirit, managed to hold heavily-favored New Hartford to a 14-6 conquest. The Morganmen climaxed the campaign by trounc- ing the weak Chittenango eleven, 40-0, for a 2-5 sea- sonal record. The stellar play of four-year men, Captain Joe O’Brien, Jerry Doyle, and Phil Collmer, coupled with the efforts of Backs Saied Adour, Dick Kennedy, Eric Weber, and Happy Acee, sparked the team, which displayed never-ceasing high spirit and good sports- manship. The Frosh eleven enjoyed a successful year, cul- minating the season with a 6-2 record. The team was spurred on by Bob Schmidt, Don Gorton, Chuck Rog- ers, and Noel Benoit.

Its 13 game winning streak was the longest skein ever run up by a Maroon and White quintet. Led by the sparkling play of Eric Weber, Jerry Doyle, Mike Brewster, Jim Miller, Terry Tolies, and Jim Getz, the team tied, for the second straight year, with Hamilton for top honors in the Tri-Valley League.
