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.
