SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS AND SPONSORS Ersel Burgess, President; Jo Ann Marietta, Vice President; Martha Trkula, Secretary; Mae Williamson, Treasurer, Mrs. Pavlin and Mr. Haskell, Sponsors Four short years ago, a group of young eager students cautiously eyed the stairs of Clinton High School and wondered if they would ever reach the top. After a hard climb, we reminisce about the past four years. They were sad years, yet glad years. Our first problem was that of learning where our classrooms were. Such hustle and bustle around us! We were going around in circles. Whoops!! Went up the wrong stairs! Well—we learned. Next, we had to learn how to estimate time. That five minutes between classes seemed very short for us to go from one class to our session rooms and on to the next class. As we dashed about peek- ing over our pile of books, we saw the seniors walking slowly to class with only one book (and some- times none) and we wondered how they managed to get anywhere and learn anything. Clinton never heard such groans as when the report cards were issued. It was then that we found out that we were here to study, or attempt it, anyway. We really became wise during our sophomore year. By watching our elders, we learned how to pass notes without being caught, and doing all the various other brave things that the juniors and seniors did with such ease. We bought our class rings and were in the spotlight for several weeks. We enjoyed our class parties and looked forward anxiously to our third year. Busy feet ran back and forth during our junior year. This was the first year that the juniors and seniors joined forces and produced the Junior-Senior Revue instead of the separate class plays. It was a great success and everyone enjoyed working on it. We also sponsored a magazine sale cam- paign to raise money for that all important Prom. After a great deal of debate, final plans for Moonlight and Roses were completed and we presented the seniors with our going away present. We had a wonderful class party to start our fourth year at Clinton. We tried our luck on Schol- arship tests and took aptitude tests (and hoped we were good for something). Again this year the juniors and seniors worked together and produced two one-act plays for the benefit of both classes. Our high school career came to an end with a rush of events—The Junior-Senior Prom, the Senior Picnic, Baccalaureate, and finally Commencement. We took many steps in dear Clinton High and now we prepare ourselves to climb the stairs in a new world May the words of Edgar A. Guest inspire us to be successful. . . “I'd like to think when life is done That I had filled a needed post, That here and there I'd paid my fare With more than idle talk and boast; That I had taken gifts divine The breath of life and manhood fine, And tried to use them now and then In service to my fellow men.
