As we approach the day of our graduation. it is hard to believe that four years have passed since that bright fall morning when we entered Clinton High School as confused and immature Freshmen. We soon learned to overlook the scornful looks and jeers we received from our upperclassmen and became accustomed to the new schedule which we had to maintain. Time wore on and we entered enthusiastically into the activities which the High School presents. Unfortunately. we began hearing the ugly rumors of that awe-inspiring word Mid-years. We studied diligently, after hearing the dire predictions of the tormenting upper classes. As a result. the Class of 1953 sailed through the dreaded exams with flying colors. Finally. Iune approached and we breathed with a sigh of relief when we realized that the Foolish Fresh would soon be transformed into Sophisticated Sophs. SUPHUMURES Iinpntieni the year of '51, To rnnke the end conze Jooner, We pestered the Freylznzen and lon ged Jo rnnch For the day when we would be juniors The long summer vacation came to a close and we re- entered school. expectant and confident Sophomores. We soon acquired the art of doing as little homework as nec- essary and reveled in laughing at Freshmen with their arms laden with books. Mid-years came and went with all the last-minute cramming. Sports and other extra-curricular activities were attended with all the lusty enthusiasm that we could muster. Realizing that it was necessary to choose leaders for our class. we elected the following: President. Paul Ker- rigan: Vice-President. Ann Donohue: Treasurer. Peter O'Connell: Secretary. Margaret Schwab. Toward the end of the year we chose our class rings. which were different from those of past years. Iune again drew near. and we indulged ioyfully in the long summer months of freedom from studies. JUNIUHS And gay the year of 52 ,F I 1 I lf. - X When to the fanef of the carren! eroonerf, l i by . We reignea' as hoyfs at the High School Prone, ' ' We wer e the exalted anzors ln September. we came back to school as confident Iuniors. We could now realize that it would not be long. especially the way that time seemed to fly. until we would finally graduate. We entered wholeheartedly into the sports. which seemed to be even closer to us. because so many of our classmates were now stars on the various teams. We became acquainted with our class advisor. Miss Kerrigan. who aided us with our many problems. Class meetings were held and we paid the exhorbitant sum of twenty- five cents weekly class dues. Officers were again elected: President. Rip Biskaduros: Vice-President. Ann Dono- hue: Treasurer. Richard Howe: and Secretary. Roberta McCarty. Time raced on: Mid-years only caused a mild annoy- ance to the worldly Iuniors. We received the rings we had already chosen. Class colors of purple and silver were selected and finally. the climax of the year. the Iunior Prom which was an overwhelming success. To- gether with the setting of spring gardens and the music of Salamone's Orchestra the event fulfilled everyone's expectations. The holidays came upon us again and we enioyed these to the hilt. realizing that it would probably be our last carefree vacation. SENIURS Now if the year of '53, Wfilh grave and Jaa' cierneanor, W' e yearn ozfer happy, carefree years, We are the a'eparfing Seniors. The peak of our four years had arrived. We were at last worthy of the name Senior. It seemed strange that we were now the leaders in Clinton High society. but we tool: it in stride. Almost immediately. we plunged headlong into school affairs and elected as our capable leaders: Presi- dent. Rip Biskaduros: Vice-President. Marianne Iaeger: Treasurer. Richard Howe: Secretary. Roberta McCarty. Dues were paid and we began to look forward to grad- uation. Our annual Senior Hop took place in February. featuring a winter scene and the melodies of Iohnny Lynch's Orchestra. Class meetings were held frequently. all leading up to the climax. The photographers came and went. the classbook was completed amid a flurry of activity. and the rehearsals for our final appearance were scheduled. Ultimately. Baccalaureate Sunday appeared and then . . . Graduation nightl Listening to the speakers and hearing our names called out from the platform. with sudden impact. the idea that our high school days were at an end was driven home.

One thing is forever good, That one thing is success. Phil, one of our highest-ranking students, is a friend worth knowing.

She is considerate of all and never gets into the difficulties that the rest of us seem to be always tumbling into. Claire's plans for the future are unknown to us, but the class feels assured of her success and to her extends its best wishes for the future. History Circle. Now we come to Ronald, a quiet member of the Class of '53. Ronald can usually be seen with his friend Ed, cruising around in a black Nash. Ronald's chief contribu- tion to C. H.

Twenty-five years have passed since that memorable day in 1953 when we took leave from the sheltering walls of Clinton High School. Now in 1978, we look back and realize the tremendous changes which have taken place in the world and in the graduates of our class. lust nineteen years ago, the momentous news broke over the five continents of the discovery of an entirely new land which had been uncovered at the North Pole. by renowned explorer and archaeologist. Marianne Iaeger. Because of a tremendous earthquake which had disrupted the earth's surface, this brand new continent. which had lain hidden for centuries. was finally exposed to civilization. When the vital chemical. Bepochasamine. was uncovered by the combined efforts of our scientists. Doctors Philip Backlund, Richard Barlow, and Ann Don- ohue, the air was regulated so that the temperature would remain at an even seventy-five degress at all times. With this development, the entire Class of 1953 migrated to Clintarctica. In the few short years the in- habitants have spent there, an amazing metropolis has sprung up. Among the first to visit the region was Iohn Innamorati, owner of the Innamorati Construction Com- pany. He and his workers immediately started the project and with the aid of such engineers as Peter O'Connell and William LaPointe, the city soon became livable. Because of the magnetism in the North Pole. our experts were at first doubtful whether or not the city could be wired for electricity. because of the tre- mendous shocks it could produce. Finally, that brilliant electrician, Allan Devault. previously employed at the San Quentin death house. solved the problem and the metropolis became lighted. Upon arrival at the spectacular airport. which had been designed by Gerald Finkle, aeronautical engineer. we note several buildings just outside. That large, glass- walled building in the center with the huge dome, con- tains the Weather or Not weather bureau offices, ably managed by Ronald Iakubowicz who hasn't forecasted incorrectly in all his years of experience. In an adjoining building we find the Service Club for pilots and their staffs. Looking around the throng, we recognize some familiar faces. such as Carole Baer. chief stewardess. deep in conversation with Ierry Ruberti. daredevil jet pilot. on how to sooth nervous passengers who object to traveling faster than 6.000 miles an hour. The decision seems to be to distribute before the flight, sleeping pills which have been developed through a new formula of Robert Bennett. manufacturer. On the upper floors of this building appear armed services departments. Through the lettering painted on the various doors by Daniel Paquette. eminent sign painter, it is revealed that the military powers of Clint- arctica seem to be invested in the capable hands of General Iohn Hoban, Admiral William D. Sivert. and. in the women's branches. of Commanders Ioan Kosiewski and Phyllis McNally. widely known organizers of all women's services. In the next edifice is situated the garage of Ronald Rabideau Inc., who specializes in the mechanics of heli- copters which everyone uses for traveling in and around the city. Nearby are the space-ship salesrooms of super salesman Iohn Gallagher who has the monopoly of the used space-ship business in this country. Quickly hailing a helicab, we make our way down- town to the business section. On the outskirts of the district stands the huge, ultra-modern. combined State House and City Hall. We pause in front of a large hall in the center of the structure where there appears to be a lecture in progress. Yes, there's a familiar figure on the stage. It's amazing to see how little she's aged in twenty-five years. The famous world tourist and lec- turer on the language and customs of France is, of course. Miss Kerrigan. our class advisor. Proceeding through the building. we discover that the present mayor of the city is none other than Rippy Bis- kaduros, who is very capable in administration. He is ably assisted by our City Clerk, Roberta McCarty, who invented a modern filing system similar to one kept for years by a former Clinton High School teacher. Mr. Philip Flanagan. Further down the hall are the joint offices of our two famous senators to the United Nations. they are the Honorable Hugh Mill and Iohn Marhefka. noted for their world-televised Mill-Marhefka debates. Their Seaport Doctrine is already recorded in all modern history books. Next on the agenda are the law-enforcer's offices. The office of the police commissioner Always gets his man Philip Ciavola, flanks that of woman criminologist Ann Iohnstone. The next few suites are empty at the moment. for our foreign ambassadors are visiting their respective assignments. Bart Dannbeck is in his native Germany. while George Kittredge is visiting the United States. trying to complete arrangements for an underwater railroad from New York to Clintarctica. There is a sign on the entrance to Fish 6 Game Commissioner Robert Sowa's door. Let's examine it-Ohl Gone Fishingl In the same building we find other distinguished pro- fessions such as the Sylvia Godard Insurance Agency. the Live Right Real Estate Agency run by Dana DeBlois. who specializes in summer property on Lake Baushacam. and the photography shop of lim Duncanson and Stan Mega. A vacant suite of rooms at the top of the building is occupied during his vacations home, by Reverend William Iamieson who is a missionary to the cannibal tribes in darkest Africa. The succeeding block is devoted exclusively to Wool- berry's Department Store which sells everything from bobby pins to bulldozers and which is skillfully managed by the combined efforts of Mary Devaney. Sandra Don- nini, Iudy Heinhold and Mary Mahan. Here some of the most expert manufacturers have their wares dis- played: Nancy Bobeck's hair dye, guaranteed to produce any color desired. Edward Ciciotte's elevated shoes. made to add six inches to any man's height. Robert Hamel's vitamin pills to put pep in every step, and Edward Les' soft as a cloud mattresses. Here, too, we have demonstrators like Patricia Hughes who shows the practical household articles which have been invented by Edward Wright. A steel-barred construction is the next in view. The lower five floors contain the Clintarctica Trust Company. a bank which is owned by Richard Howe. illustrious banker. The upper ten stories hold the offices of the newspaper. the Clintarctica Daily Item. which is retained by the publisher. Richard McGinley. The doors to the editorial room stand open and at his desk. we see David Hazel. editor, searching through mountainous sheets of papers. evidently looking for something. To his right is the famous cartoonist. Tony Mosa. creator of Grandpa. Rickey Rat. and Maisie Moose. Over in the corner is reporter Margaret Schwab. authoress of the recently published How To Eat Watermelon. The long row of buildings is broken by a large park. one half of which is devoted to all kinds of sports. the other resplendent in mossy lawns. stately trees and variegated flowers. Beside a brook. we spy an artist with her easel set up. capturing a bit of the scene on her canvass-Irene Duval. of course. Here and there. magnificent statues are seen. all bearing the name of eminent sculptress. Elaine Bellarosa. At the very en- trance of the park is a flower stand. where Martha Hazel. horticulturist. exhibits her unusual blooms. ln the athletic section of the park. all the sports en- thusiasts seem busy. Coach Paul Kerrigan has his foot- ball team busily going through its paces. a team which hasn't been defeated in seventy-three successive games. In the adjoining field. Coach Francis Polymeros trains his Blue Sox baseball nine for the World Series. Women's sports are not neglected. for nearby. Lorraine Sargent and Ruth St. Cyr train their respective women's basket- ball and softball teams. Further on is a large roller skating rink where Anne Ianosco does a few loop-the- loops in preparation of the Roller Skating Championship Contest. Across the red-tiled highway is the University of the North Pole. an excellent. high standing. coeducational establishment of learning. Among those on the faculty are: Elaine Coccione. Dean of Women: Robert Taylor. Occupation Advisor: Dorothy Long. teacher of History: and in the Business Department we have teachers of the various business sciences. such as accounting. sten- ography. and typing. The principals in these sections are Loretta Karras, Ioan Partridge. Marilyn Wilson, and Mary Gorski. It is noteworthy to mention here that the college is regarded as the best equipped school in the world, having just edged out of first place the University of Clinton. situated in Massachusetts in the United States. Drawing near the main shopping district. an immense purple building catches our eyes. This is the Peto- Kaplan Company. The men's haberdashery. managed by Iames Peto. is completely stocked with all the needs of modern man from plastic reinforced socks to steel- wool hunting suits. Women's clothes. under the pro- prietorship of Barbara Kaplan. has branches of different sorts throughout the store. On the extreme top floor is the gymnasium run by Patricia Ball in order to keep women's figures at their best. Several of the graduates of this gym have become so sylph-like that they have immediately enrolled in Dorothy Haley's Charm and Model School. One of her most famous graduates. Eleanor Tambolleo is now principal model in Kaplan's bathing suit department. Most of the feminine apparel is purchased by buyer Ianet McGovern, who travels to the most exclusive shops in Paris and New York for popular fashions. but. as in all better stores. Kaplan's has its own designers. Frances Spencer. distinguished fashion designer. has her original productions displayed throughout the more exclusive salesrooms. An offshoot of the establishment is a Beauty Salon. where creative hairdos are executed by Mary E. Ioyce. and fingernails are manicured in the styles of the day by Ioan Boynton. No salesroom would be complete without window decorations and this service in Kaplan's is capably administered by Doris Milton. who is in demand by all better shops for her skills. Food necessities are taken care of in Clintarctica by Iohn Marko's Last National Complete Self-Service Super Market. Some of the more popular products featured are Daley's Pickles. made in the pickle factories of William Daley: Arthur Mayou's product, the do-nut with the two holes: and Princey Spaghetti. naturally produced by Claire Queeney. In conjunction with the super-market we have a drug store with pharmacist William Murrman. and its sweet shop directed by Ioan Moran. Behind the fountain is found the Champion Soda-Ierk of Six Con- tinents. that master of ice cream. Owen Kilcoyne. A white-washed construction is next on our travelogue. This is our clinic. the Clintarctica Hospital. devoted to research in the field of medicine under the direction of Doctor Marion Burgoyne. The members of the hospital are renowned throughout the world for their progress in medical science. We have our School of Nursing. headed by Patricia Stuka. and our surgical nurses. directed by Marlene Hreha. The dentistry is Clintarctica is admin- istered by Doctor Malcolm Price. the only completely painless dentist. who keeps his patients entertained with the aid of television installed in the ceiling. Our illus- trious psychiatrist is Dr. Diane Freitag whose offices occupy a whole floor of the clinic. Her success is evident for she has seventeen couches in her diversified suite. It takes skillful knowledge of the personalities of people to be qualified to solve their various problems. In her research, she has been competently aided by Patricia DeCesare who has invented several modern machines for use in shock treatments. Dr. DeCesare has also originated several other electrical machines which have advanced medical science by many years. Glaring neon lights announce that the edifice close by is universally known Black Fedora Night Club. owned by the wealthy Richard Parslow who retains night clubs all over the world. Culinary arts are in charge of res- taurateur Mary Hatt. together with the famous dietitian and chef. Barbara Graves. Most of the inhabitants of Clintarctica visit this night spot regularly. while almost every night at a ringside table you will find millionaire playboy Carl Petricca. surrounded by a host of chorus girls. The height of entertainment is reached in this gay cabaret where. accompanied by the music of Ernie Lefbvre and his band. the artists perform their numbers. Amid thunderous applause appear fan dancer Lorraine Bubbles Langlois. tap dancer Chester Bud Mason. and comedian Derby Burgwinkle. who received his rec- ognition acting as end man in the United States. All these acts are announced by impresario Eileen Mc- Laughlin. In conjunction with the night club is radio and tele- vision station WXTV. guided by Thomas Baker. In addition to broadcasts from other countries and those from the Black Fedora. the network offers such programs as disc jockey Ieanne Fontaine. and the favorite serial of most housewives, George's Two Wives. featuring Marlene Roncone and Natalie Milewski. Night is falling as we reach the end of our tour and we depart for our various space ships. satisfied now that we know how time has rewarded the efforts of the members of the Class of 1953.

The Seniors were our traditional guests, and we determined to make it a memorable occasion for them and us. To accomplish this, the decorating com- mittee set about their task, bubbling over with enthusiasm. They chose A Garden in the Moonlight for their theme. and expounded this into a beautiful scene, with a rose-covered arch. and a picket fence around the main floor and the stage. Potted palms, numerous plants and flowers, together with a Cozy Corner complete with lawn furniture and a vase of flowers. added to the effect. The scene was completed by a galaxy of sparkling stars on the walls and stage curtain, and the shimmering multi-colored lights of the crystal ball. Dreamy dance music was provided by Salamone and his Orchestra. The beauty of the hall was outshone only by the beautiful spring formals complimenting our pretty young misses. and the well-dressed, if a little uncomfortable, boys in the tuxes. A shower of balloons descended amidst the dancers, and after that, Mr. Gordon led the Grand March in which all participated. Rip Biskaduros crowned Roberta McCarty. chosen as Queen, and Elaine Pfeiffer and Norma Brod- merkle were her attendants. Many parents and friends were on hand to witness this. the outstanding social event of our High School career, and a good time was had by all. DQ for L zi1fLfcl1-if 0 9 Due to the success of last year's Senior Hop. and to the popular demand for a final big dance before Lent, the class decided to sponsor another this year. St. Iohn's Auditorium, always popular with C. H. S. students. was chosen as the location for this event. The hall was appropriately decorated with white streamers. confetti, and gaily colored balloons to resemble a Winter Wonderland. The affair was semi-formal, and the girls were lovely indeed. as they whirled across the dance floor in their pastel gowns. Iohn Lynch and his Orchestra provided captivating dance music and livened it up a bit at IU o'clock tor the Grand March, which was conducted by Lewis S. Gordon. and in which all participated. This enchanting evening was one of the highlights of our Senior year and will always be remembered by the Class of '53. Vlw Xi Qt mi , -XL HONG?

This year the squad had many veteran players, including Kil- coyne. Petricca, lnnamorati, Mosa, Biskaduros. Litterio. Grady, Polymeros. Hamel. Kerri- gan, and Hazel. Except' for Litterio and Grady, these vet- erans are all Seniors. Ot-her Seniors on the squad included O'ConneIl, Ruberti, Ciavola. Kittredge, Howe, Jakubowicz. and Mayou. The Gaels' record is not one to be ashamed of. with seven wins and two defeats, with a total of 147 points to the opponents' 62. adm I9 Qafuhw 0 The Green and Gold opened the 1952 season by clearly beating their rival Gardner. The first half was quiet for both sides. In the second half, Clinton received its first score. Gardner was forced to punt, but it was blocked and recovered by Kilcoyne on the 33-yard line. Sev- eral linebucks by Hamel and Hazel netted 7 yards. There was a pass from Grady to Kilcoyne, which was good for 26 yards, and a touchdown. Bob Ferry added the extra point. The second Clinton touchdown re- sulted from a fumble by Gardner's Dembek, recovered by Rip Biskaduros on the 5-yard line. On the following play Paul Kerrigan pushed through left tackle to score. However. Ferry missed the extra point. The third Gaels' touchdown came suddenly on an intercepted pass caught on the Gardner 10 by lnnamorati who kept on going into the end zone: Ferry missing the point. So the Clinton eleven, with aid from its reserves. beat Gardner in good fashion. The whole team looked good behind the veterans Innamorati, Kil- coyne, Kerrigan. Hamel, Biskaduros, Petricca, and Hazel, not underestimat- ing the fine play of the other members. Gimp. 1.2 114,150.4 0 The Clinton High Gaels scored twice in the rainy first half. to down Milford before a crowd of 3.0U0. Butch Hazel accounted for both Clinton's scores. The first came about when Kitty Kit- tredge recovered a fumble made by Pete Piscia on the visitors' 49-yard line, after a punt from the Gaels. Hazel took a pitchout from quarterback Slug Grady. and on a fine broken run went all the way for the first score. The extra point was missed by Bob Ferry. The final Clinton tally came late in the second quarter. Hazel returned a Milford punt to the 43-yard line with about four minutes left. Ioe Gadomski went in to give Hazel a break: after an incompleted pass, Ioe scampered 17 yards around his right end. Paul Kerrigan raked off ll yards to bring the ball to the 13-yard line. A series of bucks by the pair netted another 8 yards. Hazel came back in and, after one attempt, pushed his way over for the final tally. Coach McMahon put his reserves into the game and they gave a good showing. I3 Emile!! 0 Clinton traveled to Webster to win one of the roughest games it ever played. Clinton received the kickoff on their 35 and, within five plays. had it on the Webster 34-yard line. The first tally came through the combined efforts of Paul Kerrigan and Dave Hazel. with Kerrigan going over. Bob Ferry then added the extra point. Thus the first half ended, with play hard but clean. When the second half started. Bill Grady ran the opening kickoff back to his own 47-yard line. From there, the Gaels called on Hamel and Kerri- gan who teamed together and carried the ball to the 12-yard line. Then came a fine pass from quarterback Grady to end Kittredge who caught the ball in the end zone for the second tally. The extra point was missed and the game ended with a score of 13 to 0. fusion 38 Sl. Palau 0 The Galloping Gaels buried the St. Peter's team by a wide margin. They scored a touchdown in all four quarters with three in the second. The first score occurred when Paul Kerrigan took a St. Peter's punt on the 38-yard line: on the next play Ioe Gadomski brought the pigskin to the 9-yard line. Within two plays. Kerrigan brought the ball into the end zone. Ferry's kick was no good. Two more touchdowns were brought about by interception: the first one by Carl Petricca and another by Bob Ferry. The combined play of Grady passing and Hamel running set up an- other tally in the second quarter with Ioe Gadomski finally going over. Again with the combined efforts of Iewett and Polymeros. another tally was marked on the board. The payoff play was in the fourth quarter when Harold Vanasse took a pitchout on the 34-yard line and raced all the way for the score. Thus. the Gaels took their fourth win of the year. finl'an0 ' .25 A crowd of over 6.000 viewed the stouthearted McMahon boys put up a tremendous game against heavy odds. The Gaels held their own for the first quarter. In the second quarter. Leom- inster received two touchdowns when Saudelli ran 20 yards to the Clinton 5 where. after a series of attempts. Dick Surrette fought for the remaining yard- age to score. The second Blue Devil score came about when Hazel took the kickoff in the end zone but was stopped on the one-yard line. Shortly after. Ferry punted to the 35-yard line only to have it brought back to the 26. From here. Flannagan scored. Late in the third period. Saudelli raced 30 yards for the score. Another touchdown was scored by a pass from Tocci to end Martineau who caught it in the end zone. Paul Kerrigan. the Gaels' 130-pound halfback. was the outstanding Clin- tonian of the game. as he led the way for the ground attack. The line put up a tremendous battle. led by Innamorati. Petricca. Biskaduros. Kilcoyne. O'Con- nell. Kittredge. and Mosa. Although the Gaels were beaten. never was the Green of the Clinton boys more in- spiring or the Gold more brilliant. Glinian 0 affuclian I9 For the first time in 15 years of foot- ball rivalry. the Hawks of Hudson beat the Gaels of Clinton. Both teams fought it hard and clean the first quarter. with no one doing any great damage. The first score was on a 70-yard march. culminated with a 45-yard touchdown pass from Bob Anastas to Ken Willis. The remaining two touchdowns were chalked up as a result of intercepted Gael passes. The first one was by Dick Lyons who hauled it to the 10- yard line. Four plays later. Ray Guer- ard finally went for the tally. The other interception was by Dick Morais at the 47, who carried it to the 14. where he was stopped. Again Hudson called upon its hefty fullback Guerard who scored the third and final touch- down. The offense of the Clinton eleven could not seem to dent the forward Hudson wall built around Tiny Pager- quist and backed up by Guerard. However. the defense play of the Gaels was topnotch. Credit does not belong to one. but to the entire squad who played their hearts out. finfan i9 Mulino 0 The Galloping Gaels continued the win spirit. after a brief interlude of the two former games. by defeating a win- less Marlboro eleven. All the scoring came in the first half. The Gael offense started to roll early when a trio of backs named Hamel. Kerrigan. and Gadomski brought the ball from Marlboro's 30 to the Clinton 25-yard line. The ball was given to Kerrigan who scampered around the end and went 25 yards for the tally and Bob Ferry connected for the only extra point. The second tally came late in the first quarter. The Gaels recovered a fumble on the Marlboro 15. Hamel brought the ball to the 9 where Grady took it on a sneak and went to the 5-yard line. I-'rom here Paul Kerrigan broke through left tackle for the SCOIG. The third touchdown was chalked up late in the second quarter when Quag- lia for Marlboro dropped a punt on the 15 where it was recovered by Clinton. On the next play. Paul Kerrigan raced all the way for the score. his third touchdown of the day. The honors of the day go undoubt- edly to Kerrigan. However, without the blocking of the forward wall. the backs could not do much. Hamel and Gadomski also helped secure set-ups for the scores. !1k1Jaa.20 0 e0 The Clinton eleven bounced back in good fashion by racking up another win of the Worcester team. The odd- ity of the game was all the scoring oc- curred in the third quarter. The first touchdown was set up by a Commerce fumble on the second half kickoff to spell their doom. lt was recovered by end Kitty Kittredge. Ker- rigan and Gadomski combined for 10 yards. putting the ball on the 10 where fullback Dave Hazel raced for the score. Bob Ferry connected for the point. The second tally of the quarter came. when on this kickoff. Commerce again fumbled. It was recovered by Iohn Innamorati on the 34-yard line. Ioe Ga- domski broke through the left side of the Mercuries' line and. out-running the secondary, racked up the second touchdown. Again Bob Ferry had his toe ready for the conversion. The third score came quickly when the Commerce quarterback heaved a pass but Bob Ferry intercepted it on the 34-yard line and streaked down the side line for the final tally. Coach McMahon again tested out his reserves. who endured the test in good fashion. Credit goes to the entire squad who played in the game. efinlan 27 lflaqnaaf I8 Once again we come to the Turkey Day tilt. which winds up the season for the Galloping Gaels. Ioe Gadomski went across for the first score after a pass from Grady to Kilcoyne on the 34-yard line. Kilcoyne was run out of bounds at the 3: it was from here that Gadomski scored. Bob Ferry converted for the extra point. The next touchdown was set up by Innamorati when he batted a pass into Ioe Ellam's lingers. Ioe went 44 yards to chalk up the second touchdown. Grady tossed another aerial to Kil- coyne which netted a good 20 yards. After a series of plays. Bob Hamel finally went over for the third tally. The final score was made by quarter- back Bill Grady. After the trio of Kerrigan. Hamel and Gadomski had hauled the pigskin 55 yards. then Grady sneaked over for the final tally. Bob Ferry had his toe in good shape by splitting the uprights three times. Thus. the final game for the Seniors was played in good style. not to under- estimate the underclassmen who did a tremendous iob as reserves. 52 ' -5 ij WN JK QA X Q ,XWJ1 54 VX. W- f f I 'W -ish?

Kerrigan E, Biskaduros I, Innamorati Peter O'Malley A fitting closing chapter in the book of football successes acquired by our Gal- loping Gaels. was the football banquet given in their honor on December second at the Fallon Memorial Auditorium. The event was the eighth annual testimonial banquet to fete the team which had won seven games and lost two this season. The Rotary. Exchange. and Lions Clubs sponsored the affair which was attended by over three hundred persons. Thirty-five gold footballs were presented by Coach Bingo McMahon to the team members, and three trophies. donated by the Boosters Club, were presented by Chuckin' Charlie Malay. Holy Cross foot- ball star. The winners were as follows: outstanding lineman. Rip Biskaduros: out- standing back. Paul Kerrigan: most valu- able player. Iohn Innamorati. Paul Ker- rigan was also elected honorary team captain for the year. During the season. a captain had been selected before each game. Joseph A. McNamara, chairman in charge. introduced Congressman Philip I. Philbin. who took over as master of cere- monies. Rev. Edward Swanson. rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd. gave the invocation and benediction. The guest speaker was Mike Holovalr. Boston College football coach. whose sub- ject was football in general. Fred Foye. Boston scholastic sports writer. spoke of his methods of covering high school sports. Also seated at the head table were Steve Stuka, assistant coach at B. C.: Frank Kronoff. assistant coach at Clinton this year. and Coach Bingo McMahon. Bingo thanked all who had contributed in any way to the success of the team. He said his squad was larger than in previous years with thirty-four boys out this season against twenty-six last year. He also praised the boys who attended practice drills faithfully without any as- surance they would play in scheduled contests. Captain Paul Kerrigan thanked the service clubs and Booster Club for their recognition of the team. and pre- sented gifts to the coaches on behalf of the players. Ioseph F. McCaffrey. Athletic Director of Clinton High School, could not attend the testimonial dinner due to illness. but the lads on the squad did not forget Ioe. Putting their team drive into play. they brought him a sweater. signed a card and took it to his home to present it to him personally iust before the banquet. Owen Kilcoyne and Butch Hazel presented it on behalf of the team. Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Coach Francis Babe Weihn. successor to Ioseph F. McCaffrey, who had faithfully served as coach for thirty-one years. called out candidates for baseball a iew weeks before the opening game. Coach Weihn plans to build the team around a strong nuc- leus of six veterans from last year's team. Among last year's regulars are pitchers. Larry Litterio and Dave Hazel: catcher. Pete O'Con- nell: third baseman Fran Polymeros: second baseman Bob Ferry: and outfielders. Paul Kerrigan and Owen Kilcoyne. These vet- erans. plus many promising reserves from the previous year's squad, make Clinton a stalwart team for Midland League honors. Coach Weihn is developing the boys into one of the strongest hitting teams ever to wear a Clinton uniform. He feels that. with great hitting, fine defensive work. and the sturdy pitching of Hazel and Litterio, the team will do well in upholding the tradition of good ballplaying and excellent sports- manship, the trademarks of Clinton's former teams. Best of luck to Coach Weihn from the Class of '53! 1952 BASEBALL SCHEDULE St. Peter's 2 Clinton 9 Maynard 5 Milford 9 Clinton l Gardner 4 Marlboro 5 Clinton 13 Maynard 8 Hudson 8 Clinton 0 Milford 7 St. Peter's 3 Clinton 4 Gardner 3 Marlboro Z Clinton 3 Hudson 2 Clinton 4 Leominster 6 Baseball -sl than UH ww' First Row, left to right: H.

Having lost through graduation, 1 9 5 2 - 1 9 5 3 B A S K E T B A L L three regulars from last year's squad, Coach Ed Connor had to build almost anew. Under Coach Connor's tine tutelage, the team developed into a first-class ball club. Clinton started the season oii strong with an impressive win over Sacred Heart and a long. hard-fought victory over a strong Gardner team. Alter tour games. Clinton had a neat record ot three wins and one loss. Then the team ran into a streak oi bad luck, losing consecutive games to Franklin, Leominster, Marlboro. Hudson, Maynard, and Gardner. Although Clinton was out-played in the Franklin and Leominster games, the other games were heartbreakers, especially since Clinton was topped by a tew points. Not downcast by this had luck. Clinton bounced back to take three out ot the last five games and win the hearts of all with their fine sportsmanship and never say die spirit. This spurt was so impressive that Clinton won an invitation to the 17th An- nual Townsend Tournament. Clin- ton made its way to the finals by trouncing Chelmsford and Peter- boro, N. H. In the tinals the Gaels were pitted against a crack Tem- pleton team, which had also won its first two starts. It was a tight game. but Clinton had the edge in playmaking over the Temple- ton cagers. But Lady Luck once again seemed to be against Clinton. Templeton tied the game up and went on to squeeze out a 66-64 victory in overtime. But things are looking up, and with only two C. H. S. players, Derb Burgwinkle and Paul Ker- rigan, graduating this year, the rest of the team is still intact. Coach Connor still has Larry Litterio, Bob Ferry, Ioe Ellam, Pudge O'Malley. Iim Peete, Ed Mitchell, and Tom Poulos from this year's varsity squad. Along with fine Iayvee material being brought up, next year's club looks like a team that will go a long way.
