Gibbons To Our Class Advisor MARTIN L. GIBBONS With a feeling of great respect and sincere gratitude, we, the Class of 1951, pay honor to our loyal advisor, Mr. Martin L. Gibbons, by dedicating to him the MEMORABILIA of 1951, the most expressive symbol of our four cherished years under his guidance. His acceptance of the task of Advisor to our class was marked from the very beginning by an intense desire to lend his best effort to all our activities great or small, and we are deeply conscious of his integrity and competence. For your unending and patient service to us, Mr. Gibbons, our hearts remain with you, as with this too inadequate dedication we leave Clinton High School. t VVHV| JOHN J.

Although it seemed unlikely at the time, we survived the pranks, jokes, and kidding of upper- classmen, and soon became accus- tomed to the routine, so that before long we could actually find our way from the basement to the annex to the hall, without thinking ourselves in the midst of a Chinese maze. Our activity as a class this year con- sisted mainly of contributing a dime each to the Senior Yearbook, but none- theless, we were given the pleasure of becoming acquainted with our ad- visor, Mr. Martin Gibbons, in whom we all immediately recognized sterling qualities of ability, leadership, and honesty, without which we would certainly have been lost. As the months rolled on, Mid-years loomed on the horizon, and it was with sinking hearts and splitting headaches that we faced the last week of January, 1948. But they went as quickly as they came, and we presently forgot all about the dreadful things in planning for Interclass Dramatics. Although the lowly Freshmen didn ' t win the prize, we were happy to learn we had made a fine showing. With the approach of June the Frightened Freshmen were com- pletely reformed, and we disbanded for the summer feeling that our first year in high school had been well spent. . . . SOPHOMORES A marvelous change had come about during vacation. We were now Sophomores and we could look with pity on the green Freshmen who were wandering through the corridors in a dazed manner. Recalling the treat- ment we ourselves had received as Frosh , it was easy to apply a little of it and perhaps with interest. Although some of our classmates had left us, nevertheless we were still a goodly number, and the time came when we deemed it necessary to choose leaders to carry on our class activities. So we elected the follow- ing officers: President, Nick Polymeros; Vice-President, Mary Jaquith; Treas- urer, Walter Fallon; Secretary, Ann Kittredge. We also selected our class colors, maroon and silver, and were appalled by the thought of having to pay the immense sum of twenty-five cents for class dues. In our second Interclass Dramatic Competition we earned the Oscar with our fine play and talented cast under the able direction of Miss Mary Kerrigan. We then retired with our laurels to give needed attention to our studies for Mid-year examinations which this time we faced with a bit more con- fidence. June — highlighted by our first, and never-to-be-forgotten trip to Whalom — finally arrived, and we happily began our vacation — ten weeks of carefree bliss! . . . JUNIORS The Junior year is always a red- letter period in the annals of school life. Graduation is beginning to ap- pear on the horizon, and all the activi- ties leading to it are begun. In the middle of a brilliant athletic season we elected as officers: President, Walter Fallon; Vice-President, Mary Jaguith; Treasurer, Thomas McEvilly; Secretary, Lois French. Immediately a program of dances was started, the object of course being to secure funds to defray the expenses of the Junior Prom. Selection of our class rings and im- patient waiting for their arrival also marked our important third year. We need not linger long on ' ' Mid-years ' ' as, by this time, we found them com- monplace. When the Interclass Dramatics Com- petition came around, we chose our play and cast with the confidence born of experience. Our hopes were justi- fied. We won again. About this time our second annual Talent Show was held and our prestige was again augmented as well as our treasury. This being Centennial Year, we de- cided to publish, as our contribution to the gala celebrations being held at this time, a newspaper, The Cen- turian, ' ' which was a great success. The final event of the year, our Prom, will go down through the years as one of the most memorable events of our lives. With moonlight and roses as our foreground theme, and Paul Redmond ' s orchestra in the back- ground, we surely set a high standard for the coming year. And again, va- cation was upon us. ...SENIORS At last we are Seniors! The capping- climax to our high school career has arrived! We consider C. H. S. our second home, and act accordingly. We plunged ahead, full force, into the hustle and bustle of many activities, and elected Walter Fallon, President; Ann Kittredge, Vice-President; Andy Friedrich, Treasurer; Lois French, Sec- retary. Determined to surpass all pre- vious books in accuracy and novelty, we soon began work on our Class Book. Christmas time came, and we pro- vided gala holiday entertainment, at the same time fattening our treasury, by sponsoring a Novelty Talent Show in the Town Hall, with contestants from several other towns competing with our local talent. “Mid-years came and went, and immediately afterward the photogra- phers arrived and started taking pic- tures, showing how rapidly The Day was approaching. In February, and again in March, we brought to Clinton audiences for the first time the hilarious game of Donkey Basketball”, the profit from which, together with the proceeds of a movie at the Strand, a food sale, and a Tag Day were to be used to defray expenses of the class trip to New York, during the Easter vacation. On and on the year goes towards its culmination. All paths have led this way, and all roads have turned in this direction, until now, at last, the beacon shines clearly before us down the trail to Graduation. ...CLASS As we circle the hamlet of Clinton, Massachusetts, U. S. A., in our atomic-powered helicopter, on a crisp Autumn afternoon in 1976, the sight and sound of festivities greet us. We fly a little lower to see what ' s going on. A magnificent edifice looms up before us. A skyscraper in this tiny metropolis? As we buzz lower, we are even more amazed to see the true nature of the building. Lo and behold, it is the dedication of a new high school! Approach- ing as closely as we can, and lowering the hum of the motor, we attune our ears to the ceremonies. A bellowing roar greets us. Who else could be heard over the din of our motor and the tumult of the crowd with his shrieking Hi ' ' and his bone- crushing handshake? None other than our illustrious native son, Senator Andrew J. Friedrich, Jr., Esq., as he accompanies his equally famous wife, the former Margaret Truman, down the aisle to the platform where he is to deliver the dedication address. But the building itself, the essence of ultra- modern architecture, stands as a credit to the tire- less efforts of the renowned Dankiewicz, Densmore and Backlund Architectural Firm. The decorations for this happy day are artistically designed by none other than those famous commercial artists. Jack Downing, Jeanette Kelly, and Bette Hoffman. To record the many events of the celebration, three of our luminaries are present: Pete Preston, ace photographer for Life ; Ed Mahan, digging up a scoop for the New York Times, and Chris Dionis, noted television technician for CBS. Who do these men pick out as they scan the crowd? First of all, the people who have made this day possible, with their generous contributions: Arlene Noon, newly elected President of the Shawmut Bank; Paul Lowe, Vice-President of the A P Chain; Risty Biskaduros, the famous Bon-Bon queen; Bar- bara Hutton” Duchnowski, heiress to the Wool- worth millions; Don Lipka, famous Hollywood pro- ducer, and Gordon Graham, press agent for many noted theater performers. Following the crowd, we see the banquet tables laden with delicacies prepared by connoisseurs of fine food, the Cogswell, Ciciotte and Arsenault Caterer ' s Firm, The race for the food is on. To care for those who lie prostrate under the stampede, a first aid station is situated on the grounds, manned by Doctors Nick Polymeros and Dave Kirk, two bright lights of the ever advancing medical pro- fession, and assisted by the Florence Nightingales of Clinton, Rita Lizak, Pat Ward, and Connie Rice. At the souvenir booth, stand Betty Moran and the Doyle twins hawking the wares of their novelty factories. At the neighboring hot dog stand, James Ford, John Cannon and Julie Burke, controllers of much of the Chicago livestock, sweat over their griddles. Seated around the banquet table are stage, screen, and television personalities, among them Lois French, winner of the Academy Award for two successive years; Adrianne Cooper, leading lady in the brilliant stage musicale, Gentlemen Prefer Brunettes ; and Elaine Maitland, weekly star on the Kraft Television Theater. Another outstand- ing performer in this group is Jerry Cafarelli, who is known the world over for his famous impersona- tions. Gracing the stage this evening, and opening the program with the Star Spangled Banner, will be the prima donna of the opera, Louise Briden, ac- companied by the equally brilliant band, The Warblers, led by Ivan Reed, the Swing King. Noted members of this musical organization are Bill Kennedy, Walter Burke, Walter Gorski, Marcel Kennedy, George Thompson, and the Mistress of the Ivories, Mary Joyce. Over in one corner are grouped the sports luminaries, talking shop. Doing most of the talking is Dave Murphy, coach of the Missouri Redheads ' Basketball team. He is ably assisted in this depart- ment by Jack and Ron Davidson, coaches of the New York Giants ' Pro Football aggregation; Brendon Bailey, Baseball Commissioner; Jim Donohue, head football coach at Notre Dame; and Joe Garofoli, centerfielder and player-manager of the Red Sox. Among the distinguished guests are Miss Mary Lou McLaughlin, a celebrity ever since writing a saga of Clinton and its people; Mario Caiazzi, com- poser of the Unfinished Concerto in A Minor ; Patricia O ' Malley, horticulturist, noted for her de- velopment of the thornless rose; and Bill Sonia, owner of the only Fly-In movie theater in the country. Off in a corner of the spacious lawn an intellec- tual circle is comparing notes. Mary Patrinos, world-toured lecturer, is telling of her travels in Greece where she has been doing research on her planned publication, A History of Greece ; Dr. Walter Fallon, archaeologist, holds the interest of his friends by relating the tale of his discovery of the ancient underseas city of Atlantis. Jacqueline Kowalik, head of the Kowalik Secretarial School, chats busily about the new efficiency methods which she has recently brought to light for the American businessman. Lastly, Daniel Murphy, noted sci- entist, who was responsible for the development of Atomic power to the extent of propelling this PECPHECy helicopter, is reporting on his newest discovery. But where are the rest of the one hundred-thirty- odd graduates of ' 51? Oh, there they are. First we can see James Collins, new world billiard champ; Alan Cooperman, co-owner of the Blackstone Plush; Anne O ' Donnell, new Supervisor of Nurses at Clin- ton Hospital; Domenico Rich, leading stock car racer at the Westboro Stadium; and Sandra Sivert, Dean of Home Economics at Colby College. Difficult as it is to distinguish individuals in the crowd, we spot Sally McGinley and Marlene Crow- ley, founders of the most modern and well-known finishing school for girls in Paris. Not far from them, Frances Ferland, popular French torch singer, is seated. Chatting together are five members of the all-girl swimming frolics, The Aqua-Maids — Julie Elia, Elie Mahan, Alice Flannagan, Anne Lynch, and Cathy Murphy. More of the notables are distinguishable as they circulate among the throng. Still inseparable are Barbara Antonio and Margaret Baum, largest stock- holders of General Motors ' auto plants; Rose David- ites, first woman editor of the New York Times; and Barbara Duffy and Anne Gavin, revivers of the Andrew Carnegie speaking course. To think that such a list of outstanding citizens would arise from one high school class!! We notice Phyllis Mangan, head laboratory technician for the Mayo Clinic; James Packard, fireball director of Packard Motorcycle Sales; Arthur Mudgett, Presi- dent of the New England Farmers Association; Mary Weymouth, Baptist missionary just returned from the Orient; Pat Nugent, head of the Baby Sitters Union; and June Morton, world lecturer on The Secrets of Marionettes. An open field looms up, and we take the oppor- tunity to land, giving us a much better chance to complete our visit in Clinton. Now we can mingle with the crowd and recognize the visitors much more easily. We catch a glimpse of Gensie An- gelini, first woman partner of the famous Wall Street firm of J. Pierpont Morgan and Co.; Joan Gorman, Tel. Tel. executive; Mary Jaquith, or- ganizer of Jaquith ' s Reducing Course; Ellen Mait- land, soloist with Ralph Flanagan ' s orchestra; Anne Kittredge, internationally known hair stylist; and Pauline Shea, buyer for Hattie Carnegie. The men, as usual, are grouped together. We find Syd Schanberg, noted Chief Justice of the Supreme Court; William Watson, President of the Window Washers ' Association of America; Donald Rauscher, noted coal baron; Fran O ' Donnell, de- signer of modern home furnishings; Tom McLaugh- lin, head of the wine-tasting department of Petri Wines; Curtis Kennedy, pinball machine manufac- turer; and Barry Matthew, inventor of the new rocket-motivated car engine. We ' re still wading through the crowd as we come upon Barbara Broman, star of the Roller Derby; Barbara Karras, dietician for the Waldorf Astoria Hotel; Dorothy Laskowski, trainer of Arthur Murray ' s dance instructors; Janice Miskiewicz, assistant to the great Foudini; Etta Schott, editor of the Ameri- can Home Magazine; and Mary Reddy, successful social worker in the Harlem area for many years. Evening shadows are just beginning to fall when we sight the remaining members of the hallowed C. H. S. class of ' 51 — James Tagg, designer of the only all-automatic super-market in the world; Claire Nosek, leading ballerina in the Ballet RUsse de Monte Car lo; Helen Hatstat, women ' s Olympic skiing champion; Marjorie Burgwinkle, woman executive of the world ' s best sound-proofing firm; Paul McLean, head of the Ford Motors ' Sales ' De- partment in Detroit, Fred Terrio, developer of the latest theory on atomic relativity, and Robert Sar- gent, owner of the Sargent Elevated Shoe Corpora- tion. Approaching the last contingent of guests, we notice that the fireflies have just begun their nightly rounds. It is composed of Marlene Merrill, head beauty consultant for the Richard Hudnut cosmetic firm; Beverly Mahon, recipe advisor for Betty Crocker; Stanley Sablack, leading camera- man for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios; James Weeks, President of the nationwide Stork Diaper Service; Geraldine Peto, one of John Roberts Pow- ers ' bewitching models; Carolyn Valeri, secretary to the President of the United States, and Joan Wilson, star of the radio series, My Friend, Joan. Suddenly a myriad of gleaming spotlights centers upon the most colorful and impressive spectacle of this memorable occasion as the band strikes up in a fanfare. This is the honor guard, those who have served in defense of our country, and those who have devoted their lives to bettering our standard of education, the faculty. First the military — John Mitchell, Robert Gannon, Donald Hayes, Gerald Joyce, James Sargent; and the nurses — Barbara Burke, Carole Nordstrom, Beverly Pfeiffer, and Lorraine Wright. Bringing to an end this won- derful day of reunion, the new Principal, Charles Moran, and some of the teachers in the new high school, Rose Marie Connelly, Phyllis Healey, Caro- line Keiger, and Florene Vattes walk solemnly through the portals of a building unsurpassed in the tradition with which it has been endowed by the loyal classmates of 1951.

' ' Jim is one of our most friendly classmates and his ready smile combined with his pleasing manner have made him many fast friends. Always appreciative of a good joke, you can count on his hearty laugh regardless of the number of times he has already heard the joke. You may find Jim almost every afternoon, radiating his charm on customers of the First National Store. So far as we know, Jim ' s plans for the future lead toward further education at Fitchburg State Teachers’ College. But regardless of where you go Jim, the Class of ' 51 sends all its best wishes and hopes for your success.

' Who ' s that driving down the street in a swanky, blue convertible? It ' s Barb, our classmate. With a cheerful greeting for everyone and time for a sociable chat, Barb has made many steadfast friends at dear old C. H. S. She is a loyal supporter of all school activities and her help has added much to make our class a successful one. Barbara s hobby is dancing. She is as light on her feet as she is in her heart, and would be welcomed by Arthur Murray as an instructor. Whatever she may decide to do, the Class of ' 51 will be rooting for her.

' Perhaps we shall remember Gerald as one of the quieter boys of the class, but those who know him intimately value his sincere and loyal friendship. Although Jerry” was never a grind where schoolwork was concerned, nevertheless his interest in his subjects and his ability to rate highly in them gained for him the teachers ' respect.

His participation in extra-curricular activities has taken in just about everything — from debating to basketball manager. Among his pet weaknesses are hand-knit argyles, anything Southern-fried, and defending the underdog. His interest in History and Government, plus his fondness for debating, has led Syd to choose law as his pro- fession. The hopes of his classmates go with him to Harvard, and we all feel sure that he will be as successful there as he has been here.

Words by Mary Lou Joyce 0 0 0 6u i Neui Ijosih 0 On Sunday evening, April 15, 1951, fifty-two members of the Senior Class departed from Clinton High School for a three-day trip to New York. Two Trailway Buses arrived at C. H. S. at 11:00 p.m. to start loading baggage. A warm send-off by parents, friends and mem- bers of the C. H. S. Band saw the youngsters on their way one half hour later. Arrival at the Victoria Hotel on 51st St. and Seventh Ave., occurred at 7:00 a.m. Our schedule was as follows: Monday — - Breakfast on the first morning was enjoyed in the beautiful Candlelight Room of the Victoria. Movies (Father ' s Little Dividend) and Stage Show at Radio City were considered one of the finest features of the trip. In the afternoon a sightseeing tour of New York City was thoroughly enjoyed. Dinner was served on the completion of the tour at the Ding-Ho, Chinese-American Restaurant. Kiss Me Kate ' ' , one of the top Broadway musical comedies, rounded out a grand first day. Tuesday — Youngsters were given cash and the privilege of selecting breakfast spots. After breakfast a visit to Rockefeller Center for the studio and television tour was in order. Upon completion of this tour, Bill Cullen ' s Guick As A Flash ' ' program was visited. Paul Lowe and Arthur Mudgett were selected as participants in this show, with Paul winning a fifteen dollar ($15.00) prize. The glory of the afternoon will never be forgotten; our very interesting visits including the Empire State Building Observa- tories and the Statue of Liberty. A smorsgabord dinner at the Iceland Theater Restaurant, floor show, audience participation games and danc- ing closed out a marvelous second day. Wednesday — Cash and selection of break- fast sites were again accorded our youngsters. The morning was then left free for shopping, visits and individual activities. In the after- noon, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes , at the Zieg- feld Theater, proved highly entertaining. Din- ner in the Candlelight Room of the Victoria, and dancing following, held the attention of our group until departure for Clinton at 11:00 p.m. A tired, but happy and grateful gang of Seniors arrived at Clinton High on Thurs- day morning, April 19, at 5:30 a.m. Herfurth Selection — June Nights” High School Orchestra March of the Graduates — Processional March” (Norma) .

These records gave his students a composite picture of Twentieth Century history. To complete the season ' s a ctiv- ities, the History Circle will sponsor the annual trip to Provincetown. In the past, the trip has been one of the outstanding features of Commencement Week. This year, the excursion is being antici- pated with eagerness by the Seniors, and the graduating class is also pleased to see a successful History Circle year concluded by the Provincetown outing. ... , v - 4 - - —‘i iHsiiii ) $ i . Sf Soon after ' ' Mid-Years ' Tau Sigma convened for the first time, and this helpful organization, once again under the experienced leadership of Mr. Lewis S. Gordon, Jr., of the faculty, began its instructive discussions on manners and social life to which many a Clinton High School graduate owes his success. According to the club ' s charter, only two officers were elected. President, Gerald Cafarelli; and Secretary- Treasurer, Brendon Bailey. Every Monday evening, the members of Tau Sigma assemble gladly and gratefully to learn the accepted social graces, and to have a little fun in the process. The boys in Tau Sigma hope that Mr. Gordon realizes their appreciation for his guidance and also hope that he will continue his praiseworthy efforts in the future. Tau Sigma ' s year will close with a dinner dance where the evidence of what the boys have learned will be displayed, and where an evening, long to be remembered by those who will attend, will be shared in enjoyment by everyone. Jle Qesicle tynxzncaii At the very first meeting of the formation of Le Cercle Francois, much was accomplished due to the enthusiastic founder of the club and a member of the faculty, Miss Mary M. Kerrigan, and much to the surprise of the French IV group assembled. To begin with, officers were elected with the following results: President, Sydney Schanberg, Vice- President, June Morton; Secretary, Adrianne Cooper; and Treasurer, Charles Moran To advance in the knowledge of French, and to bring it into the everyday life of the mem- bers of the club is the goal of Le Cercle Francais. This is accom- plished by holding the formal part of the meeting in French, and by acquiring the complete cooperation of all the members. This was exemplified by the work which we succeeded in finishing at our initial meeting. All the details were agreed upon for the initiation of the eleven Seniors studying French III. We feel that the idea of a French Communist Rally in the middle of High Street is unique for an initiation and should provide up- roarious entertainment for all on- lookers and bring about a good time for all t hose participating. We have also made plans for an up-to- date French news column in the Clinton Item with Aristea Biskaduros and Patricia O ' Malley appointed to lead the committee in charge. Ar- rangements have not yet been decided upon for the yearly banquet or holiday, but Le Cercle Francais is looking forward anxiously to this happy time. c L A S s B O O K Jtatin QlaA. ' Lical Club Formed for the purpose of finding fun and enlightenment in the culture of the ancient Romans, the Latin Classical Club, kept exceptionally active by the Latin III and IV members, was guided through a profitable and successful year by Miss Helen M. Bachose, of the faculty. The officers, elected by the Latin IV class alone at a preliminary meeting, were: Praeses, Sydney Schanberg; Pro-Praeses, Chris Dionis; Scriptor, Mary Jaquith; Quaestor, Mary Lou McLaughlin; and Lictor, James Donohue. At the first formal meeting of the organization, the Seniors initiated the Latin III students by putting them through their paces at the Roman Forum. At the following meeting, projects to improvise suits of Roman Armor and clothing were begun. To conclude the year ' s activities, plans are in the making for a Roman-style banquet and a trip or outing in June. Ite QiUU l fjau ittal The Junior Journal, primarily a class newspaper, is in its second year of publication. Its editors and staff come from members of the Class of 1952. The editorial policy is to embrace publication of school and class activities, social affairs, sports, guidance material, and administrative policies. The staff is made up of Mary Abrahamson as Editor-in-Chief, with Rosemary Bokka, Marilyn LeBeau, Magda- lene Jakubowicz and Betty Fateiger as Assistant Editors. The rest of the staff is comprised of Norman Nelson, Richard Cooper, Dorothy Schanberg, Barbara Makosiej, Patricia McNamara, Nancy Cross, Joan Bailey, Shirley Lepore, Janet Burke, Joan Mitton, Dorothy McMahan, Doris Panni, Marlene Mahan, Sandra Kennedy, Sylvia Goureghian, Elsie Laughlan, Shirley Coccione, and Leslie Joyce. The Class Advisor is Mr. Philip F. Flanagan. The German Club began meeting shortly after the Mid-Years. At the first meeting, the following officers were elected: Leon Dankiewicz, President; George Preston, Vice-President; Donald Rauscher, Treasurer; and Elizabeth Fateiger, Secretary. The German Club met during the year under the guidance of Miss Praderio, the teacher of the German class. The club had a worth-while project of making a classbook of their own club during the year. National fyan.e+t ' iie Jlea fue CHEERLEADERS The National Forensic League, the National Honor Society for secondary school debaters, operates in conjunction with the Debating Society. The annual tournament for New England members was held at the University of New Hampshire on March 3, 1951. The Clinton team of Andrew J. Fried- rich, ' 51, and Robert L. Harlow, ' 53, reached the quarter finals. The National Forensic League officers are: Sydney H. Schanberg, President; Andrew J. Friedrich, Vice- President; Caroline B, Keiger, Secretary; Mary G. Pa- trinos, Treasurer; and Mr. Robert A. Murphy, Faculty Sponsor. The Honor Roll of students who have qualified for membership includes the following from 1951: Barbara A. Duffy, Andrew J. Friedrich, G. Gordon Graham, Caroline B. Keiger, Mary L. McLaughlin, Mary G. Patrinos, and Sydney H. Schanberg. Debating became a tradition at Clinton High when last year ' s teams placed fourth in the State Champion- ship Contest at Suffolk University. The highlight of the year to date was the feat of Clinton ' s team of Robert L. Harlow, ' 53, and Sydney H Schanberg, ' 51, at the Waltham Tournament. Mr. Harlow and Mr. Schanberg won four straight debates and carried home the trophies donated by the Waltham Booster, Rotary, and Kiwanis Clubs. As usual, the members debated throughout New England and spoke before the local service clubs. The Dartmouth College Tournament was added to this year ' s trips. Sydney H Schanberg represented Clinton in the American Legion Oratorical Contest and placed second in the Worcester County finals. The officers for 1951 are Thomas E. Baker, ' 53, President; Joseph H. Ellam, ' 54, Vice-President; William A Jamieson, ' 53, Secretary; Ernest P. Garofoli, ' 54, Treasurer; and Mr. Robert A. Murphy, Faculty, Debating Coach. The Class of 1951 contributed the following founders of Clinton ' s Debating Society: James Arsenault, Richard Cogswell, Barbara Duffy, Walter Fallon, Andrew Friedrich, Gordon Graham, Caroline Keiger, Mary McLaughlin, Mary Patrinos, and Sydney Schanberg. DRAMATICS Qua ■ ' leiJunan. Play, . . . SAIL RIGHT IN ' ' Faint heart ne ' er won fair lady, is an old adage, and it was lucky for Fred Murphy that he had a strong heart and an even temper when it came to the wooing of Elaine Maitland. William Ciciotte, as Fred ' s younger brother, was the opposing faction in the skit. Doing everything in his power to anger Fred, he only succeeded in getting himself left out in the cold. Adrianne Cooper and David Murphy were the amused onlookers who wondered how things could be so rough, when the course of their romance seemed to run so smoothly. All in all it added up to an enjoyable night of laughter and fun for everyone, including the members of the cast. Qua. SoAiluunoAe. Plau. . . . DEFERENTIAL KINDNESS A person is judged by what he does, what he says, and what other people say about him. If Walter Fallon had remembered this little saying, he might have succeeded in his quest. The other two members of the cast, who seemed to favor his point of view, were fune Morton as the mother, and Elaine Maitland, the lovely girl sought. On the opposing side was Fred Murphy, the boy next door, who was also interested in Elaine; William Ciciotte, Elaine ' s younger broth- er, and Lois French, the colored housekeeper who couldn ' t quite decide just what Walter was up to. In the end, Freddie got the girl, and Walter got the air, while the other four got thoroughly confused. Qua fJunioA Plau . . . HIS FIRST GIRL William Ciciotte — tennis player, younger brother, suitor, and clothes model — that was what Bill represented in this funnies t of fun fests. Once again Elaine Maitland was the lady in question. Brendon Bailey played Bill ' s best pal and rival, and Sandra Sivert and Lois French played sister and mother, respectively. The most comical scene by far was William ' s debut as a model. It seems that a dress for Sandra had to be hemmed. Sandra was busy; Lois had to do the sewing, so Bill modeled the dress. To make matters worse, Brennie caught him in the act. After many tight squeezes, including getting in and out of the gown, Brendon got the gate, Bill got Elaine, Sandra got her gown, and Lois got nervous frustration. c • • pprectahon 1 light As the end of our high school days came nearer and nearer, we chanced one day to look back over our four years spent in C. H. S. with nostalgic memories of the happiest days of our lives, and it came to mind that for all these pleasant days of carefree joy and gay companion- ship we owed unlimited thanks and grati- tude to our parents and guardians. Many times during that turbulent per- iod it must have meant sacrifice and the giving up of their own small pleasures so that we might have something we wanted — perhaps a new dress, a fly for our fishing rod, money for a football game, a corsage for the Prom — it seemed like a small thing at the time, but did we appreciate the fact that for four years our parents had been giving, giving, giving, while we were continually on the receiv- ing end of things? As a slight token of our appreciation, we decided to appoint the night of May 9th as Appreciation Night, so that instead of we being in the limelight as usual, we could step aside for the moment and accord our Mothers and Dads their right- ful position as Kings and Queens for the night. Salamone ' s Orchestra provided the music for dancing, set in a background of potted palms and apple blossoms. All decked out in their Sunday best, girls danced with their Dads, and boys with their Mothers, changing partners gaily, and climaxing with a conga line in which one and all joined. To top off a most en- joyable and never-to-be-forgotten even- ing, refreshments were served, while sev- eral members of the class entertained with vocal selections. All too soon it was time to leave, and we were reluctant to say Goodnight. Mothers and Dads looked just as happy and pleased as did their sons and daugh- ters, and we felt quite proud as we rea- lized how much they had enjoyed our way of saying Thank you. BATON TWIRLERS BAND r j As school convenes, the ever prominent subject of football comes to mind. Everyone looks forward to a victorious football team, a classy band, and our vigorous cheerleaders. While Clinton certainly has all three, we mustn ' t forget the player element involved. A town the size of Clinton is not expected to produce championship football teams, but in recent years the Clinton caliber of football has been par excellence. We must not forget the non-tiring efforts of our football mentors, Coaches William McMahon and Robert O ' Brien, for teaching the game to the boys in their own unique way. As the season is about to start, the consensus is that the team will be about average and we shouldn ' t expect too much from a team which, as a whole, is fairly small — now let ' s see what happened. Clinton 6 St. PeienX 0 The opening game struck like lightning, giving evidence of a thrill-packed season as Clinton High soared through an amazed St. Pe- ter ' s array. A great little band of fighting Clinton High Green and Gold Gal- loping Gaels, vitalized and spirited in their efforts by the records of predecessors, rose to the heights against a much heavier, taller and experienced St. Peter ' s of Worces- ter by a score of 6-0. An 80-yard sustained march from their own 20, after an heroic goal- line stand in the closing minutes of the second quarter, gave the Gaels the only score, with Joe Garofoli getting the T.D. on an end sweep from the 7-yard line. The all-around play of the team was superb with our hard-plunging lin ebackers, Jim Donohue, Jim Petricca, and Co-Cap- tain Polymeros stopping the enemy offense for little or no gains. Our invulnerable line was aided greatly by the spirited play of the David- son brothers, Jack and Ronnie. This accomplishment showed full well that Clinton was not a team with which to be trifled. The Mc- Mahon and O ' Brien charges gave evidence of a prominent season that was to follow. Clinton c 26 MiLjonA 6 Aided and abetted with five runs by Jim Petricca, Jim Donohue and Nick Polymeros, Tom McEvilly, in the second half, showed off Clinton ' s aerial attack by passing to Little Joe Garofoli in the end zone. Before an estimated crowd of 2000 fans, the Galloping Gaels chalked up their second victory of the sea- son. The first score came on a pitchout from Tom McEvilly to Joe Garofoli who circled his right wing early in the opening stanza. Poly- meros then converted for the extra point. On the following kickoff, halfback Jim Petricca then fell on the free ball behind the enemy goal line for the Gaels ' second score. Again Co-Captain Polymeros made good with the extra point. As Clinton kicked off, leading 14-0, Mignone of Milford received the kick and ran the length of the field on a bril- liant run for Milford ' s only score. In the closing stanza, Jim Pet- ricca, after a pitchout from Mc- Evilly, passed to Red ' ' McNally in the end zone for Clinton’s final score, sending the crowd home in a jovial mood. Clinton IS flaticJz 7 Thirty-five hundred thrill packed fans witnessed the Galloping Gaels of Clinton run roughshod over the highly-touted Natick eleven. The Green and Gold drew first blood as a result of a recovered fumble by McNally on the 36, and after successive runs by Petricca, Donohue and Polymeros, coupled with a pass from McEvilly to Mc- Nally, Polymeros plunged over to score from the 3-yard line. Then, in the second period, Na- tick ' s flaming fullback, Charlie Sticka, roared over from the 10-yard line after successive runs on his part following Natick ' s recovery of a blocked punt on their own 43. Tu- tuny made good with the conversion. Trailing by a point, the Gaels un- leashed a furious attack in the third period that saw Clinton score two touchdowns, one by Donohue early in the third stanza and followed by Polymeros ' plunge five minutes later. Thus ended the inspired second half in which Clinton showed the deter- mination and spirit of a college eleven. 1 4 Clinton 1U f ll etx4,te ' i 0 The Clinton Gaels won their fourth straight against an unexpect- edly strong Bartlett High team from Webster, 14-0. Play was about even except in the second quarter when Clinton ' s Jim Petricca scored both touchdowns, once on a buck after Joe Garofoli and Nick Polymeros had scampered half the length of the field, and the other on his own, in a 58-yard smash through the whole Bartlett team. Play seesawed for the rest of the game with neither team able to get a sustained attack under way, with most of the play being at the mid- stripe. The line play of the team was good and Clinton, as a whole, played a spirited game. Although the ball handling was loose due to the severe cold weather, the team showed the will to win and, as a result, again came out on top. Clinton 39 tf-osidltam 0 Before an estimated crowd of 4,000, Clinton High ' s Centennialized power rocked Fordham Prep, 39-0. Amidst cheers and fireworks over- head, these festive sounds were not nearly as explosive as Clinton ' s fighting machine. In the first period, Petricca passed to McNally on the 20, leading up to Polymeros ' smash from the 2 for the first score. Clinton continued its scoring power in the second stanza when Nick Polymeros passed to ' ' Red Mc- Nally in the end zone giving Clinton a lead of 12-0. This ended the second period. Clinton made up for its lack of scoring in the third period by scor- ing four times in the last period. Joe Garofoli scored two touchdowns with brilliant runs in this quarter fol- lowed by End Paul McLean inter- cepting a short pass for a score, and Gordon Graham streaking off his own tackle for the final score of the game Polymeros converted for three extra points in the last stanza. This centennial year ' ' Special” we hope will lead to regular football relations between the two schools. Clinton IS Clinton High School extended its undefeated skein to six victories by downing a hard-fighting Shrewsbury team, 18-6. Center Owen Kilcoyne grabbed a Shrewsbury fumble out of the air with thirty seconds of play having elapsed, and scored from the 25- yard line for the initial touchdown. In the second stanza, Joe Garofoli scored on an 82-yard run following runs by Petricca and Donohue. Min- utes later, McEvilly tossed a 25-yard pass to End ' ' Red Leone in the end zone for a Clinton lead of 18-0. Following runs by Delorto and Mowry, left halfback Francis scored from the 1-yard line for Shrewsbury to end the scoring for the evening. Much praise must be given to Shrewsbury ' s George Delorto for his outstanding all-around play and for his fine sportsmanship. Clinton 7 c udUan 6 Before an estimated crowd of 2,400 shivering, thrilled fans, the Gallop- ing Gaels of Clinton fought valiantly to overcome a stubborn Hudson foe. Late in the second quarter, Joe Garofoli set up the Gaels ' score with a 30-yard runback of a Hudson punt, leading to Nick Polymeros ' smash from the four to give Clinton its first score. Polymeros missed the conver- sion, but an offside penalty enabled him to try again, this time being suc- cessful. This point eventually was the deciding margin of victory. In the last period Hudson finally scored on a pass from Higgins to C. Guidotti. H. Guidotti missed the conversion, being smothered by Gael linesmen. The outstanding play of the Clinton line helped immensely in the final outcome of the contest. Again the chilled Gael fans went home in a jovial mood with Clinton having copped its seventh straight victory. Clinton 20 tylaminCfliaM 0 The Galloping Gaels maintained their undefeated record, before 700 rain-soaked fans, by defeating a fighting Framingham team, 20-0. The Green and Gold ' s first score came in the initial stanza when Nick Polymeros drove 21 yards over the muddy turf to paydirt after runs by Garofoli and Donohue. Nick rushed over for the extra point. The Clinton second T.D. came shortly after the beginning of the third period. The Galloping Gaels advanced the ball all the way to the eight by some fine team play. From here, Joe Garofoli scampered around right end to score. Polymeros again made the extra point. In the closing minutes of the third quarter, Jim Donohue scored the final T.D. on a 2-yard smash after J. Davidson had recovered a Flier fumble and a penalty had advanced the ball to the 2-yard line. The brilliance of the Gael line was displayed in the final period when Framingham failed, in three attempts, to score from the 1-yard line as the game ended. Despite the rain, mud, and a fight- ing foe, the Gaels, by hard-driving spirited team play, again emerged victorious. nardian Bowl. The Gaels dominated the first half in which they scored all their points, the team holding the Saints score- less. It was only a few minutes after the opening kickoff that Jim Donohue streaked 45 yards to paydirt. Shortly after, Nick Polymeros scored, follow- ing runs by Garofoli and Petricca and some fine blocking by the line. Nick made both point-after attempts good. The final Gael T.D. came in the second period when Nick Polymeros smashed over after Bud Mitchell had intercepted a Saints ' pass. In the second half, play was about even until the final few minutes when Boyce of St. Bernard ' s scored after he had intercepted a Gael lateral, thus ending the game with the Green and Gold again having proved equal to the task, with each player contributing his part to the victory. G Untan 19 Maynard 0 The Green and Gold easily whipped Maynard, 19-0, in the tra- ditional Turkey Day Classic. The Gaels won their tenth straight, thus concluding a well-earned, unde- feated, and untied season. The Gaels lost little time in strik- ing pay dirt. After a drive to the Maynard 11, Nick Polymeros scored, but an offside penalty nullified the T.D. On the next play, however, Jim Petricca took a handoff from Tom McEvilly and then galloped across for the first tally. Jim Donohue made the extra point. the victory, with the reserves as well as the regulars performing brilliant- ly. The exceptional play of the line stood out, led by the Davidson brothers and Bud Mitchell. The Gaels ended the season in a blaze of glory. The achievement of the 1950 team will long be remembered as one of the outstanding perform- ances in C. H. S. football history. FOOTBALL BANQUET The true spirit of Clinton was ex- emplified to the highest degree at Fallon Memorial Auditorium when 475 loyal followers of the town ' s Centennial Year Gael Grid Cham- pions braved a deluge of rain to pay fitting homage to their unde- feated and untied 1950 High School team at the annual banquet spon- sored by the Rotary, Lions, and Exchange Clubs. Rabbi Twersky opened the ban- quet with a prayer, the words of which will long be remembered by all those present. Following the prayer, a delicious chicken pie din- ner was served. The oratory of the program was begun by William Burgwinkle, chair- man of the committee, who pre- sented Justice Austin Kittredge as toastmaster in the absence of Con- gressman Philip Philbin. Athletic Director Joseph McCaffrey, after a short speech, presented gold footballs to each member of the Gael squad. A full minute of spontaneous ova- tion greeted Coach “Bingo McMa- hon, who demonstrated to his lis- teners that he is as capable on the rostrum as he is on the athletic field. Assistant Coach Bob O ' Brien also received a great tribute when he was called upon to speak. The high- light of his speech came when he paid a glowing tribute to Dave Kelly by requesting a minute of silent prayer for the young deceased Gaelian. A1 Banx, popular Worcester news- paper cartoonist and originator of the name “Galloping Gaels, won the audience with several stories. Dick O ' Toole followed with a re- port on the C. H. S. player awards, explaining in fitting detail the com- mittee ' s reasons for the selection of honored players. He then read the address, dedicating the awards in memory of David Kelly. The win- ners were as follows: Outstanding Lineman, Jack Davidson; Outstand- ing Back, Joe Garofoli; Most Valu- able Player, Nick Polymeros. The featured speaker, Charlie O ' Rourke, Holy Cross backfield coach and former Boston College grid star, presented an interesting narrative of his own experiences as a college and professional player on the gridiron. He also gave a bit of advice well worth following by urging his young listeners to stay with their books and to aim for scholastic achievement. Charlie told of the dismal experience of many great schoolboy athletes whose grades did not permit entrance to college. In behalf of their teammates, Co- Captains Jack Davidson and Nick Polymeros had the honor of present- ing gifts to Coaches B ingo McMa- hon and Bob O ' Brien. The program ended with the showing, in color, of the Clinton- Maynard game. The picture was excellent and especially thrilling to the Gaelian Champions, fifteen of whom were seeing themselves in action for old Clinton High for the last time. BASKETBALL Another basketball season has come and gone, and again Clinton ' s court trotters brought home the ba- con by winning the Midland League Title. It was a season of rough com- petition, especially if you have such teams as St. Peter ' s, Gardner, Web- ster, and Framingham on your schedule. Those are only the inde- pendent teams Clinton played; in its own League, Clinton lost games only to Maynard, Franklin and, as usual, to Milford because of that bandbox which Milford calls a bas- ketball court. Clinton whipped each of the above teams once, with the exception of Franklin, with whom we split evenly in the regular sea- son, but a playoff was forced and Clinton came through, beating Franklin again. The other two teams, Hudson and Marlboro, Clinton had little or no trouble with. A salute must be given to the Jayvees” who, for the fourth suc- cessive year, have taken the Junior Midland League Championship. The Varsity Team has now won the title three years in succession. Two of these teams have been coached by the able mentor, Ed ' ' Connors, who did such an exquisite job in his two years of coaching. Although Captain Joe” Garofoli, Jack” Davidson, Chris” Dionis, Dave” Murphy, Paul McLean, and Ed” Mahan are graduating, enough Jayvee material should be brought up, coupled with the stellar perform- ances of Red” McNally, Jack” Mc- Nerny, Don McLeod, and Harry Spanier to make another great team. Good luck to Coach Connors from CLINTON 29 ST.

EDWARD CONNORS Coach of Basketball feoiekUl • 0 0 U b T WU i St - Jfef R 2 h: m 1 L m j A X With a promising outlook, Coach McCaffrey called out candidates for baseball a few weeks prior to the opening game. With pretty much the same material to work with, save the No-Hit Twins, Bazydlo and Stuka, and battery mate, Wil- son, Coach Joe McCaffrey went right to work in preparation for another possible Championship season. Among last year ' s regulars returning are: Third Baseman Nick Polymeros, Second Baseman Jack Davidson, and Outfielders Bill Kennedy and Joe Garofoli, plus many promising reserves from the previous year ' s team. The 1951 team has an added goal to attain. A Midland League Championship for this year ' s base- ball array would bring a triple sweep of all sports ' festivities in the Midland League. Such an honor would bring further prestige to a town that has already demonstrated its outstanding ability in athletics. 1951 SCHEDULE CLINTON 8 ST.

Interclass games were played between Seniors and Juniors, Sophomores and Fresh- men. During our Junior year we were defeated by the Seniors by a score of 43-42.

The Scene - — nervous Freshmen in their first tux — Sophomores haughty to their successors — sophisticated Seniors with four years ' experi- ence behind them — Juniors hur- rying around with a sense of importance and the glow of some- thing accomplished — proud par- ents beaming from the balcony — a never-to-be-forgotten evening of happiness and pleasure. On June 16, 1951, in the Fallon Memorial Auditorium, the Class of ' 51 held their Prom. The hall had been transformed into a gar- den. Rose-entwined fences, green shrubbery and rustic benches, gave a most realistic impression of a garden dance. The floor was shadowed by flitting silver pat- terns reflected from a huge moon that smiled knowingly above the gliding couples. The moon was surrounded by twinkling stars that winked approval of the fes- tivities. Paul Redmond ' s Orches- tra provided the music for the gala affair. The grand march was directed by Mr. Lewis Gordon and led by the four Junior officers. Over two hundred couples at- tended and we were humbly gratified with the many expres- sions of delight for another of the never-to-be-forgotten Junior Proms of C. H. S.
