Class of Nineteen Fifteen : C l i n to n High School “Exceeding-wise fair speaker and persuading .” MARGARET TERESA HASTINGS Margaret was most surely the meekest of meek Freshmen. Hers seemed to be the straight and narrow path, for she never whispered, nor wrote notes, though she very kindly passed them for others. She took a business course and struggled with “trial balances” and other things of the same nature until she surmounted the difficulties. Margaret always is the same calm and peaceful-looking girl as she was when she entered school. Only the funniest of jokes would make her smile, and then the smile was scarcely noticeable. On few occasions in class did she laugh but during recess time, then she became quite sociable and enjoyed herself, but this was only during her Senior year, when all students feel the weighty hand of discipline less heavily. A quiet and peaceful life seems to be her ambition, and the very best of ambitions to have. 29

Class of Nineteen Fifteen : C l i n to n High School “ have a man ' s mind, but a Woman s might. RUTH BEATRICE HAMILTON “ Ruthie Hammy Junior Reception Committee; Invitati on Committee. Ruth, the ever-busy girly, selected the commercial course, since it was in perfect harmony with her talents. One day, on being asked why she was hurrying about the room in such a businesslike manner, she replied, “In quest of knowledge.” That, we consider a very good rule to follow. “Ruthie” would make an excellent instructor, some say, — however, some of the Freshmen and “Sophs” whom she taught, when she substituted for Mr. Powers, say, “No, she exacts too much labor, — play is denied.” Ruth needs no motto to urge her on to success, for although she never was acquainted with that of 1915 until the end of school, she always followed its teaching in a noteworthy manner. 28

Class of Nineteen Fifteen : Clinton High School “ IV hen y ou see him coming , prepare for business.” MARSHALL BALDWIN LEE “Sam” “Marsh” Basketball (4) ; Manager Baseball (4) ; Inter-Class Basketball (2) ; Assistant Manager Baseball (3); Junior Reception Committee; Senior Dramatics. What is this shining light approaching? Oh! that is Marshall Brichola Lee, otherwise known as “Sam.” “Marsh” is very proud of his ancestors, especially General Lee, and some day expects to write his biography. “Sam” is also fond of another “Gen.” Marshall once said, “I may be slightly under size ‘to make’ the football squad, but I’ll ‘land’ the basketball team;” and he did. “Sam” always pos:esses a businesslike air, even while driving his “jitney bus.” But it is genuine, and has been so proven since he served as business manager of the Student. Marshall naturally possesses a fiery determination, and if you do not believe it, see for yourself. Nevertheless, it is sure to gain success, and it surely will for “Sam.”
