General Course. Behold! “Jimimy,” the liveliest girl of our class. She entered High in a lively manner and has kept up the pace ever since; for you see Jimmy rode in on us one day from Bolton, in that “old Ford car’’ familiar to all. Freshmen as well as Seniors, and now a part of Clinton High’s history. It has been said that the thought of a reckless ride from Fuller’s Field to the High School has often stimulated the boys on to victory. Who knows what Jimmy was thinking of during those rides? A long smoke-filled battle-field, perhaps, strewn with dead and wounded, and “Jimmy,” making a wild rush for the hospital line. For, it is an open secret that “Jimmy” has offered her services as an experienced chauffeuress to her country. However, she isn’t always serious. Oh, dear, no! She “made” all the plays put on by ’17, and had pecks of fun at rehearsals, and that ride on “Carranza,” the day of the ‘“Prom,” was quite thrill- ing, they say— but you’d better ask Jimmy about that. Then her miscellaneous points are her love of study, especially the study of algebra; also her “adoption” of a few gentlemen freshies, and her wonderful singing. Jimmy’s summary could all be contained in this short sentence: “She’s one good sport.” 28

“ ' yV e U ' i,s(l( nt of manij and the wit of one” % HAROLD B. GANNON “Ichhy’’ “G 4” “Ganno’ ' “Jabo” Student Manager, 4; Dramatics, 4; Editor-in-Chief of Class Book, Junior Prom Committee; Military Training Committee; Cap- tain of Senior Company, C. H. S. Cadets; Senior Quartet. Technical Course. Gannon was our real live wire throughout the whole four years of his High School career. He was one of the most diligent workers of 1917, and always on deck to help it out when it was in difficulty. He was one of the most efficient managers the Student ever had on its staff and his literary prowess is plainly visible in this Class Book, of which he is Editor-in-Chief. Gannon was a “swell” dancer and he was always in great de- mand at social affairs. He was also an actor of no small ability. Gannon was a prominent member of “that Senior Quartette,” and also of the far-famed “4.” His whistle was one that had the poor teachers on the verge of prostration, trying to find out who it was. After leaving C. H. S. he intends to enter Bliss Electrical School, Washington, D. C., and we predict for him many friends and much success there. 27

O Canary! Here we have the old Class President again as mirthful and as full of the dickens as ever. Everywhere his broad, contagious smile is in evidence, and he never lost a friend by it yet. “Stuffy” as a Class President is unparalleled, as is shown by the appreciation of the Class in electing him unanimously for four successive years. He was always on hand at a class sociable, managing the business end of the affair, and everything he did was without a flh” Charles Graf shall always be honored by his own honorable class of 1917, hereafter, as he was honored among them in the four long years at dear old C. H. S. We all tender him our heartiest wishes in his new role as a student at Boston University, and earnestly hope he will meet with the same success he always has met with in the past. 29
