We hope tliat in the future many lia])])y lioni ' S may be spent by tlie class of 1918, ])ernsin«- this book, and thus tniadno ' bac ' k the hands of Time to the days of their hi h school (‘areei . We ho])e, also, that .Memoi ' aldlia may be ( ' ontinned by classes to come, who may ])i otit by the mis- takes of those who have j one before. We realize that the woi-k is far from ])ei fect, but beg the leniency of our readers in their criticisms. We liave at- tempted ill a meagre way to depict school life with its sor- rows and joys, and to bring out the salient characteristics of each teacher and (bassmate. All our humor, such as it is, is intended in a harmless way, and we hope Ave have offended no one. We are very grateful to the members of the faculty Avho have assisted us AAuth their suggestions and censorship. We present this liook to the public, therefoi-e, not as a mastei ' piece of literatui-e, but as the humble chronicle of the accomplishments of that (bass — dearest of all to us — 1918. G Our TeacKers A TRIBUTE “To tlie most responsible, the least advertised, the poorest paid, and the most richly rewarded profession in the world.’’ We A ’ish to take tliis ()]ipoi‘tunity to ex])i‘ess our appre- eiatiou to tliose who liave so siieeessfully eonpileted the task of oui‘ footste])s aloiiii ' the ])erilous ])aths of oin- school ( ' ai eer. Since our entrance to Clinton Ili li as meek and lowly fi-eshnien, a change has taken place in our i egai d for our ])i ecei)toi‘s. As Fi eshnien we thought of the faculty as an august body, unapiiroachable and relentless, befoi ' e whom we must tremble in fear, and against whom we must unite oui utmost efforts. Now tte know bettei . We have become acciuainted with our teachers during the last foin years, and we have found them strangely human, with all the human virtues and all the human Aveaknesses. We have found that they are Avorking not against us, but for us; that they are ever ready to meet us half-Avay; that they gi ' ieA e over oui ' failures, and rejoice in our successes. We begin to aiijireciate noAv the magnitude of the debt Avhich Ave OAve the teachers of Clinton High, and Ave realize that all success Avhich Ave achieve in the future Avill in a measure be simply an indication of their success in the jiast. 8 LAWRENCE F. O’TOOLE, Principal Within your hearts be writ This single line memorial: — He did his duty — and his bit! 9 Mr. Cobb, our former vi(:e-i)rincii)al and now our acting? i)rinc:ii)al, is one of our favorite teacliers. He in- structed us in History and ( ' lieniistry, and those subjects were always inter- esting. His method of substituting modern colloquialisms (shall we say slang) for the prosy woids of the text ahvays made the idea clearer to our undeveloped minds. He gets excited once in a wdiile. Then it is time to get out from under, for something is sure to drop. But these times are infrequent. EBEN S. COBB To all graduates of Clinton High there is one teacher wdio wull ever he held in loving remembrance. That teacher is Miss Kent. Wherever we go, w ' e will ahvays remember the pleasant hours w e spent in her classes — hours w hich were as useful as they were pleasant. Mathematics became a pastime rather than a drudgery, and w e ahvays looked for- w ard eagerly to a period in Room 7. NELLIE KENT Walking down the corridor w e are sure to pass Mr. IMatthew s, our com- mercial teacher, guarding the door to Room 4. Twirling around his right thumb is a watch charm, wiiile on his face is an expression of supreme repose and dignity. We all remem- ber his good work in coaching foot- ball and baseball teams, also his pop- ularity with the female members of the class. THOMAS MATTHEWS 10 SUSAN D, SMITH .Miss Smith kept a restraining ' hand over ns when we were mere Fresh- men, and instructed us in Englisli when Sophomores and Juniors. Ow- ing to the peculiar floor-plan of Room 6, her classes were usually informal and social. Sometimes we didn’t understand the lesson when we went in, but we always did when we went out. Any marks we deserved she al- ways gave us, and also any marks she gave us we always deserved. Mr. Gordon, although a member of the faculty for only a year, has ren- dered invaluable service to the class of 1918. He taught our commercial department the mysteries of English, and was our class advisor. Although busy with the financial affairs of nearly all the classes he was always ready to stop a few minutes and ex- tricate us from some difficulty. LEWIS S. GORDON, JR. HANNAH M. WALSH When Miss Smith was not teaching us English, that is, in our Freshman and Senior years. Miss Walsh under- took that difficult task, and she ac- complished it. She gave us invalu- able aid and suggestions in the publi- cation of the Student. We always enjoyed hearing her read Shakes- peare to us, for her rendition was most dramatic, as it were. 11 Aliss I’hilljin is Uie beuuitful l)londe instructor in French and (ter- nian and the only ineniher of the faculty on (hipid’s casualty list. She is reported to he nioi-tally wounded and we fear she will he lost to C. II. S. before another year. She finds it very hard to he serious, and even when she is very angry with us she cannot help smiling at our childlike antics. MARGUERITE F. PHILBIN Mr. Jordan, the guardian of Room 2, unfolds the mysteries of Latin to all classes, from the infants to the dignified Seniors. His desk, when not surrounded by a group of Sopho- mores desiring instruction, is com- pletely hidden by a barricade of fel- lows desiring amusement but receiv- ing P. M. sessions. Guy has handled the affairs of the A. A., filling all roles from property-man to water- Miss h Liry is the most “petite” mem- ber of the faculty, and a great favor- ite with boys and girls alike. Her subjects range from History to Alge- bra. She, together with Miss Smith, is always being called upon to serve as chaperon at some dance or party. Once in a while she takes her violin up into Assembly Hall. Then every- body stops and listens. boy. ELIZABETH I. FURY GUYSBERT B. V. JORDAN 1 Miss McLau lilin, who assists Mr. Mattliews in teaching Coniniercial branches, is very popular with tlie girls, and may always be seen at re- cess surrounded by a group of them, probably receiving additional instruc- tion in some subject. She is always willing to help out, when any type- writing has to be done in a hurry, and then her fingers fly. MARY A. McLaughlin As Mr. Howard teaches Manual Training and Mechanical Drawing, he is only well known to the boys of the technical course; but take it from us, he is “some boy.” All our extra periods we like to spend down in the shop, convincing John of our superior genius. Mr, Howard has coached the high school plays successfully for several years, but as he has enlisted in the navy, we fear he will be lost to C. H. S. before next September. JOHN J. HOWARD As Miss Mills teaches Free-hand Drawing, she is well-known only to the girls of the class. But we know she is patient, kind, and always ready to help us out of some difficulty. LULA MILLS 13 Aliss Union, our instructor in .Music, we are always glad to see, botli on lier own account, and l)ecause it means we skip a period for singing. Slie lias laboied diligently with us, prepaiing a program for graduation, and also rehearsing the high school orchestra, which is developing from a joke into a determining factor in high school life. MARTHA M. LINTON Mr. Linde is rarely seen about Clinton High, for his classes are all held in the Gymnasium. He is the popular Gym instructor who has been with us only a year. He does not restrict his training to school hours, for he gets out with the boys at recess and directs their games. ALbRED LINDE DENNIS LANE RICHARD BRENNAN W ' e wish to take this opportunity to mention the faithful service of the janitors of Clinton High — i Ir. Lane and Mr. Brennan — who are always ready to assist us when we are in trouble. 14 CLASS OFFICERS HUGH D. HALEY PRESIDENT JOSEPHINE O. FLETCHER VICE-PRESIDENT Ourselves 17 ' ‘‘’Hail to Utc chief, irho iu lriiun} h Oflraiicc.s!” LAWRENCE F. BRADY “Dewey” P ootball, 1, 2, 3; Baseball, 1, 2, 3 (Captain 3); Basketball, 1, 2, 3 (Captain 3); Hockey, 3, 4 (Captain 4); Dramatics, 3, 4; Student Staff, 3, 4. General Course. There he goes! Watch him hit that line! Don’t you recall how you stood along the sidelines on those cold, bleak, wintry days and heard the crowds shout, “Dewey! Dewey!’’ With the pig-skin tucked snugly under his arm, it seemed as though he could bore through a stone-wall. And many a long gain has been made by this hero of the gridiron. However, it is not in sports only that Dewey has shone. He is certainly there with the palatte and brush. We cannot foresee how the school will get along without Dewey to paint posters. Dewey is also some actor, and when he gets started on emo- tional parts, the audience is moved to tears. Dewey has always been popular with the fair sex, but he has eyes for only one. At present, Dewey handles the monkey-wrench outside of school hours, but we have not learned definitely his future vocation. 18 ' Fairest of Ihc rural maids’’ GLADYS J. BOYD Commercial Course. Gladys came to us from Berlin, and if we are to judge the town by her, we will decide that it is not such a bad place after all (of course we refer to Berlin, Mass.), for Gladys is the quietest girl in the class. She has always oeen faithful to her school work, and we are confident that this same faithfulness, together with her quiet manner, will bring her success in her future life. 19 ' ' Her voire iras ever .soil, fioillc oiul loir, on r.rrriicnl lliiiif in ironKOi ' ’ MARGARET BURKE “Marg” College Course. Quiet, dainty Margaret Burke lias won the love of every one. Marg’s brilliancy lies along musical lines, for at the piano she is a wonder and always ready to help. At the Conservatory of Music, in Boston, she will soon win friends as she has here. May her career open up in sunshine and gladness and remain so forever. For who could resist her sweet smile and winning way? One thing to be regretted is that she has a very weak voice; in fact, the weakest voice Mr. Jordan has ever heard. While she was reciting, the class could rest, for even the person in the next seat could only catch a few words here and there. But still you could never be angry with her, for she would just smile at you. The fervent wish of her class is that life may smile at her throughout her years. 20 even (liouf li i ' nt ui,slic(l, she could arfiue still” TERESA CAFARELLI Student Staff, 4. College Course. When everyone else in history class has failed, Teresa can be relied on to uphold the honor of the class. Teresa goes along life’s way smoothly and unconcernedly —but it has been whispered that a nice-looking Southerner in khaki has disturbed this unruffled composure. In school, Teresa has shown a marked ability and taste for art, one which the teachers think she should cultivate. In a studio, with the work of her own hands around her, Teresa would be content, at least this was her opinion. It is to be hoped that no new interest can take away this ideal. Throughout her life, whatever she takes up as her vocation the best wishes of 1918 will always be with her. 21 street deHtjItt a (juici life affords ' WILLIAM FAHEY “Bill” “Willie” College Course. Here is a little fellow, who has never had much to do with the rest of us and with whom we have not become very well ac- quainted. As we look at him he seems very innocent, but take it from us who know, Willie is one good sport. Bill is a corking good baseball player and there is no doubt but what he would rather play ball than study. We feel sorry for Bill that there was no baseball this last year, for he was sure to be one of our star players. Can you imagine this little innocent, bashful boy, the only one of his sex in a class with a half-dozen girls? How many other fellows of this class coud have stood this for a whole school year? We all say goodbye to Bill, always remembering him for the way he pulled himself through with that bunch of damsels. 22 ‘ll(Ui i sorroir, care’ll kill a cat!” THOMAS F. FALLON “Toady” Class ' ireasiirer, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee. Commercial Course. Toady will always be remembered as the efficient treasurer of our class. We have got to hand it to him for hanging on to that fifty dollars for the last six months. How many other fellows could have done it? Fallon might always be seen at recess near the entrance to Room 4 in close conversation with the overseer of that room. Toady was a great ladies’ man, and never missed a dance. It is a shame that he had to study so hard, and carry so many books to and from school, but we are sure he will benefit by it. We are doubtful as to what Toady will do when he leaves Clinton High, it seems almost impossible to separate him from his running-mate, Kiley. For if one is seen it is always a safe bet that the oilier is within a stone’s throw. 23 Some ftiirif (hniriiif in nnj dazzlrd nifjhd’ MILDRED I. FLEMING “Midget” “Mil” Commercial Course. INIildred is, of course, the smallest girl in the class, but she certainly has big ideas. She likes to enjoy herself once in a while, and the knowledge that her pleasure will cost her an after- noon session, doesn’t worry her a bit. INIildred doesn’t believe in worrying. That’s right, Mildred, telephone operators have no time to worry. You know Mildred hopes to be a telephone operator .some day, and then we will wish her success “over the wire.’’ 24 ' Sltc is hrinifid of trif and rare acconiplislunenfs” JOSEPHINE O. FLETCHER “Dodie” “Joe” “J. O. F.” Junior Prom Committee; Student Staff, 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra, 4; Class Book Staff; Vice-President, 3, 4. College Course. Joe, our best beloved and very bright classmate, has held the exalted and free-from-care position of Vice-president for two years. Once we remember when Joe was obliged to call a class meeting, and will we ever forget her bashfulness? She doesn’t care to be very prominent; and always that sort of person is made promi- nent by her associates. If Joe ever absented herself from Latin IV the class for that period would be dead. It’s difhcult to explain this for, like Mar- garet, her comrade, her voice has become very delicate in the last year of her high school life. But it is not her voice but her smile which has oftimes enheartened the other pupils in Latin IV when Mr. Jordan asked them to “rise and shine.’’ What would the class have done without Joe? Doubt could never enter even for a moment the minds of any of her classmates that Joe will mount to the highest rung of the ladder, and the higher her station the greater her classmates’ happiness. “ ’ just as rhccrful as nti fare shfurs” KATHERINE T. GIBBONS “Kate” “Kay” Did we ever see Kay angry? Answer: No. It doesn’t seem possible that a frown could form it self on her calm brow. Of course she never worries about lessons or any small matter like that. Dancing is her greatest delight, and to dance with her brings delight to her many favored partners. Knitting, also, brings joy to Katherine, and the results make her still more happy when she hears what comfort she has brought to some lonely sailor boy. Katherine helped Miss Fury out greatly in History, for she never came into class without her lesson. Never a day passed when some special topic of current events did not attract Kay’s attention, and she in turn brought it to the notice of the class. That Kay’s path may be smooth and that no obstacle may oppose her until the foremost place is reached, is her classmates’ wish. 2G ‘‘J soul as white as hcareii” MARY T. GIBBONS Class Book Staff; Student Staff; Dramatics, 4; Orchestra, 4; Class Prophetess; Junior Prom Committee. College Course. As we look upon her picture above, we can count only one- half of Mary’s good features. She will always be remembered as that ever popular girl that has made so many friends through her four long and happy years in C. H. S. Mary was of great prominence in English IV, for she was constantly being called upon to give her expert version of the passage or the exact word that was required to fill the sense. We all are still wondering whether it was Mary’s personal appearance or what it was that helped Mary carry herself so victoriously through the last period of each day of her fourth year. Of course we have all heard about it. Mary won fame as an actress in the Senior play, and showed her wonderful ability even more in “Shakespeare au Gratin.’’ She was also an invaluable member of the Student Board. We begin to wonder now that we are compelled to separate from each other what will happen to Mary when she will not have the guiding hand of her constant companion, Izzie. But we are all of the opinion that she will surely make good from the record she has made in C. H. S. 27 “J irillinfi mind makes a hard jounieif east ” THERESA F. GIBBONS “Tessie” Dramatics, 4. Normal Course. Generous, kind, and loving ' , j.eresa is a treasure to the class, a friend to all her classmates, and a relief from monotony to the teachers. We know she will not get puffed up, when she reads this, for Theresa is not that kind. She is a great favorite in the class, especially with i Iary McCaffrey, with whom she has chummed incessantly. Teresa is a very interesting talker; at least Miss Walsh thinks so. She surely can make you feel what she is saying. Remember ‘ Shakespeare au Gratin!” Wasn’t it creepy when she made her voice croaky like a witch’s? She certainly was some witch all right. Fitchburg Normal seems to be Teresa’s destination. Wouldn’t it be funny if she should become prim when she leaves there? But she couldn’t. For Teresa will be Teresa wherever she goes. 28 )n ui ircll liked hi men, — and iconien, oo” ARTHUR W. GRAVES “Pooch” Class Book Staff; G. F. N. B.; Junior Prom Committee. Technical Course. Pooch a lady’s man? Perhaps so, but a good sport all the same. Pooch is right there when there is a dance or anything in the line of social events, for would a C. H. S. affair be complete without him and his partner? We think not. At the school plays Pooch spent endless hours gathering rugs, chairs, etc., for the stage, but it was worth doing in order lo get out of school — at least he thinks so. Pooch is not exactly a shark — in the “chemical” sense of the word — but he is far from a flunker. He is one who takes his studies easily and usually successfully. Arthur (sounds strange, doesn’t it?) has talent in the line of music, for his rag-time on the piano is — well — up to ihe minute for dancing. vVe will say nothing about the rest of the Agony Quartet. Pooch intends to enter M. I. T. in the fall, and if his good nature and witty disposition hold out, he will certainly succeed. The good-will and best wishes of classmates and friends will go with him. 29 ' ' I ' hni hr will htlk, (food (J(kI.s hoir hr mil talk ' ' HUGH D. HALEY “Hughie” Class President, 1, 2, 3, 4; Football, 2, 3; Baseball, 1, 2, 3; Hockey, 4; Student Staff, 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Book Staff; Junior Prom Committee; G. F, N. B.; Captain Football, 4; President A. A. Technical Course, Haley has the honor of occupying ' 191 8’s presidential chair, having been our leader since that first class-meeting years ago, and having engineered all succeeding meetings with a marked freedom from rough-house. He is also one of our premier ath- letes, playing on all teams and captaining the football team which was not. Haley is afflicted with a somewhat delicate voice which has annoyed all the teachers for four years. He is some shark, how- ever, and his dignified, majestic recitations uttered in a cool, indifferent, condescending tone are the envy of his classmates and despair of the teachers. So far all is well, but alas! and oh! the worst is yet to come. Hughie has fallen a victim to the charms of the ladies. It is not any one in particular; no, far worse, it is the fair sex in general. But we hope for the best. Haley intends to enter M. I. T. in the fall (further activities unknown), and his success there is foretold by his success in C. H. S. 30 iriiaf iK(.s,sio)is cannot music raise or (jucH’ BERNICE J. HARWOOD “Ber” “Bunnie” Glee Club. Commercial Course We must not form our idea of Bernice from her picture, for she is not the sad person you see there. On the contrary, she likes a little fun as well as the rest of us. To be sure, her fun has caused her many a journey back to afternoon session, but Bernice believes it was worth it. Bernice has unusual ability as a pianist, and intends to con- tinue her study of music after leaving High School. 31 “.S7 C .seemed as liai)i)i as a irare, Had danees (m Die sea ' LORETTA F. HASTINGS ■‘Lottie” Commercial Course. Lottie is one of the best natured girls in the class. She can enjoy a joke at any time, even when the joke is on herself. She has, however, the unfortunate habit of seeing a funny point at the wrong time; during ciass, for instance. When such is the case, we find her friend. Miss Kirby, reporting for afternoon session. As a private secretary, Loretta will gain success, before long, by her faithfulness to her duty, and her pleasant disposition. 32 “ ' 7 om ((r! (( schoUu ' EVERETT W. HOWE G. F. N. B.; Hockey, 4. Technical Course Here is a young man who for four long years, in sunshine, rain or sleet, traversed that long and perilous road from South Berlin in order to gain the education offered by C. H. S. Howe is to be congratulated for the spirit in which he did this. There is no doubt but what Howe enjoyed his trips the first three years, but it must have been hard this last year after the class of 1917 had graduated. He is one of the best scholars of the class and eats up origi- nals in Math. His knowledge of automobiles, practical mechanics, etc., is positively overwhelming, and we recall the day when he lectured to the physics class for a whole period on the mysteries of the gas engine. Everett is a great friend of the girls, but cannot decide be- tween the brunettes of Berlin and the blondes of Clinton. He gets embarrassed once in a while and we all know it by the beau- tiful flush that spreads over his features, including his ears. Howe is our only classmate favored with “auburn” locks, but we never speak of that. Howe goes to M. I. T. next year, and will surely come out at the head of his class. 33 “77 r pou ' cr of IUoikiIiI Ihc i iariir of the mind ' ' MARY M. KERRIGAN Junior Prom Committee; Student Staff, 3, 4; Dramatics, 4; Orchestra, 4. College Course. Mary always was, and we suppose always will be, the envied one among the girls. She always knew her lessons and if any one, by chance, stood higher than Mary in Advanced Math, for one day, he or she went around elated for some time. iNIary showed her ability to help in time of trouble, by coming to the front at the last minute in the A. A. play. The success of the play and the winning of the cup are due in no little part to Mary. That night will be a lasting monument to her in our minds. There is not the slightest doubt that whatever Mary sets her mind to do will succeed. This has been shown in a marked de- gree in C. H. S. May the best of success attend her! 34 ' ' Throir discrcUou 1o the iriiids; ni )io)ie of id’ ARTHUR KILEY “Baron” Assistant Manager Football Team. Commercial Course. Kiley is well-known as the author of those famous gems of literature appearing daily in the Worcester Telegram. These works show us that he has a keen sense of humor and a ready flow of language. He is a member of the Commercial “Bad Bunch,” and is the close companion of our trusty treasurer, Mr. Fallon. These two are inseparable, and when they are not making life interesting for Wittman, or kidding Mr. Matthews, or partaking of refreshment over at Festy’s, or strolling in Central Park, they find time to get in a little studying. Looking over the literary works of our classmate, we think that in the future he may probably be found in the editorial sanc- tum of some one of our leading newspapers, such as, for instance, the B oston American. 5 upon her dr.slinfnt roxr.sc” RUTH I. KINNEAR Class Secretary. 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee; Glee Club. Commercial Course. Ruth was one of our busiest members. She has served us faithfully as Class Secretary for four years. No matter what work was undertaken by the class, she was right there, ready and willing to help. She is also one of the most valued members of the Glee Cub. Moreover, Ruth never slighted her outside engage- ments, but of course that is none of our business. Ruth hopes to be a court stenographer some day, and we all wish her the greatest success in her chosen work. 36 ' One .sniile is worth a thousand frowns” HELEN M. KIRBY Dramatics, 4, Commercial Course. Helen has a way of looking on the bright side of things, and this sunny disposition made her a favorite with her classmates. However, her teachers could not always see the funny side, and as a result, her name usually adorned the “Roll of Honor” for P. M. session. But Helen did not spend all her time just being sunny. She found enough time to study and fit herself for her future work. If Helen does not decide to become an opera singer, she will take reporting. Our best wishes go with you, Helen, in whatever you undertake. 37 “ 7 ' o see her is to lore her” AGNES B. LAUGHLIN Commercial Course. By her quiet, pleasing manner, Agnes has endeared herself to all her classmates. She is our girl artist, and she shows excep- tional ability in that line. Some day, not far in the future, we shall see her pictures in the great art galleries. There is a possibility, however, that we will not, for she may give up her ambition, and live more patriotic pictures on the battlefields of France, for she is considering becoming a Red Cross nurse. Whatever she undertakes, her success is assured. 38 ' She (leserres pr((i.se who does )i(d what she aiai , hut what she ou( hl” SARAH M. LEACH General Course. Sarah is one of those girls we would like to know forever. She was a joy to every teacher’s heart for she was never known to come into class unprepared. No matter how long or how hard the lesson, Sarah was always ready to recite. And the best thing about her is her willingness to help out others who come into class unprepared. She has not been with us long, but in the short time we have grown to appreciate her calm, even disposition. To be a nurse would be her delight and happy will be the patients under her care. 39 Modest}! heroines a ijoinKj maid ' a ' ' CLIFFORD F. LOWE “Clif” Baseball, 1, 2, 3. Commercial Course. Clif will be remembered as the boy who, with his thousand- dollar arm, carried the baseball team through all kinds of battles, most always coming out on top. He is a very quiet, unassuming chap, and little is heard from him, except when, under the influence of some of the more bois- terous members of the class, he joins in those well-known sere- nades down in Room 2. Clif is very industrious at his studies, and might be seen at all times buried deeply in his books. Clifford used to be a memuer of the class group of benedicts, but a calamity befell him, and now he is back once more among the bachelors. 40 “J tender heart, a will infle.rihle’ G. ISABEL. LOWE “Issie” Dramatics, 2, 4; Class Book Staff; Junior Prom Committee; Student Staff, 3. 4. Normal Course. Isabel, or Issie, as we familiarly call her, is one of the main- stays of old ' 18. Many times has she extended a willing hand in pushing to completion something started by the class. Such superior acting we have never seen, as Issie’s interpre- tation of Lady Macbeth in “Shakespeare au Gratin.” And that is not the only time she has starred in dramatics. Again she shines when it comes to singing. Many a pleasant study period we have spent, when all work was dropped, in order that we might hear that soft, sweet voice of Issie’s. Issie was one of our shining lights, mentally, and is easily the most talented of our classmates. It is very easy to become acquainted with her, and when a new pupil wanders into school, she usually takes them under her sheltering wing. She is very frank and candid, and if she doesn’t like something about you she will tell you so. But this makes us like her all the more. Issie’s mind is bent on a nurse’s career, and with the determi- nation which has characterized her year’s in Cinton High she can- not but achieve success. 41 iiir an aiaHnicc for a irord or hro THOMAS J. MAITLAND “Tommie” “Truck” Student Business Manager; Class Book Business Manager; G. F. N. B.; Military Training Committee; 2d Lieut. Senior Company, C. H. S. Cadets, 3. Technical Course. ‘Ten — SHUN! Watch those feet! Can you hear them? Maitland, corporal of the awkward squad, advance and be recog- nized. What would our short experience in militarism have been without Tommie? Truck is a co-partner of Taber’s on Bench No. 7 in Chemistry, and is always attempting to discover new substances. He has gained great fame and fattened marks in English by his delightful rendition of Scotch poetry in the original. Tommie is as gentle as a kitten, as we all know who have suffered under his loving caresses. His long career in the shoe business has enabled us all to get the correct and latest “dope” on footwear styles. “Oh, Baby Mine!” Tommy’s favorite expression! We wonder if it has a mys terious significance?????? But Tommy surely made an eflicient business manager for the Student and the Class Book. We expect he will spend the rest of his natural life straightening out his financial reports. We rather thought that Truck would graduate from West Point as a super-general or a high private or something like that, but Tommie says no. flou ' cr of ifoiitlt 011(1 hcoKfji’s pride GRAYCE L. MATHER “Blondie” Junior Prom Committee; Dramatics, 4. Commercial Course. Grayce is one of the prettiest girls in our class. Did we hear someone whisper, “Movie actress?” Guess again. No, Grayce believes her future lies in a different direction. She is going to be a nurse — Red Cross, we suppose, for Grayce is especially anxious about the welfare of our soldier boys. Well, why shouldn’t she be anxious? Good luck to you, Grayce, and may success be yours in the noble work! 43 “J kindness is never lost ' ' MAGDALEN MITCHELL” “Dillie” Basketball, 2. 3. General Course. Dillie was certainly one all-around girl, our star athlete, somewhat of a plugger in Chemistry, a favorite with Miss Kent, and a sculptress of no mean worth. Sad to relate Dillie’s Water- loo was Room 1. Somehow or other she never happened to answer just what the English teacher wanted, and so hardly a morning passed but Dillie was compelled to sit down abashed. Dillie IS an excellent coach, as we all know who sit near her, and should make a good prompter for a play. Here is a girl who would like to go to Fitchburg Normal oe- cause she thinks “it’s lots of fun up there,” but firmly asserts that she will not teach. We wonder why? Well, wherever she goes, the best wishes of 1918 will accompany her. 44 Mcujnificeni spccittclc of human ha})pincfni MARY G. McCaffrey “Polly” Junior Prom Committee. Normal Course. Mary’s high school career was calm and unruffled, and a source of joy and contentment to the hearts of her teachers and classmates. Mary is some glider, and specially in moonlight waltzes she displays her knowledge of the terpsichorean art. Never was she known to miss a high school affair, scholastic, social or athletic. In short, she’s a good sport. Miss Walsh looks upon Mary as a near angel. You under- stand Miss Walsh never sees her when she’s whispering or cutting up, fortunately for Mary? We feei sure that Polly’s sterling qualities will be appreciated in whatever path she treads as they were by 1918, 45 “ r loritif (Old nrrrr iraiif for lore ' ’ SARA J. McGRAIL “Sadie” Junior Prom Committee. General Course. Sadie is an extremely clever girl, and the one point toward which she especially directs her energies is getting on the P. M. session list. Of course there never was any cause for putting her on the list, for she never did anything and everybody else was always whispering except her. But, nevertheless, she was usually there. Why is that phrase over her picture especially adapted to her? For more reasons than one. it applies to her in connection with her classmates, of course; and outside of school it applies also, but we will not mention that. Although Sadie has not yet decided upon any definite career, we are all assured of her success in whatever she may attempt. 46 hi(f hinisHf ran he his paeallrr’ JAMES F. MacINTYRE Class Book Staff; 1st Lieut. Junior Company, C. H. S. Cadets; Dramatics, 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee; G. F. N. B. Technical Course. The curtain rises. All eyes are turned toward the stage. A wave of eager anticipation passes over the audience. Now a burst of applause! We look! The hero enters! And who should he be but our own classmate, Jimmy! Why worry about not getting the cup with Jimmy on the stage? Unbounded praise should go to him for the way he worked for our good old class in the line of dramatics. James is a great favorite with all the teachers, and may often be seen conversing with them, probably imparting some of his superior knowledge. In classes he waxes very humorous at times, assisting Taber in making the teachers’ lives happy. Once in a while he becomes absent-minded or somthing like that, and makes some startling statements. When it comes to fashions, Jimmy surely sets the pace, for he is our sportiest classmate. He is also a shining light at all dances. Although quite a soloist, he is very bashful about dis- playing his ability. M. I. T. is his destination for the next four years, where he expects to prepare in his favorite science. Chemistry. We foresee a brillian future for J. P ' orrest. 47 what, )chf:)i, irhcrr, aud HELEN W. McLEOD “Helchie” Orchestra, 4; Junior Prom Committee. College Course Helen is a great shark, not one of those fishes that torment bathers but one of those people who delight a teacher’s heart. Such was Helen. In French she was a regular Parisian, very seldom recoursing to English for help in her flow of language. Sometimes when Miss Philbin’s ideas on the tense of a verb or the construction of a sentence did not coincide with Helen’s, there followed a lengthy debate. And in the end it is doubtful to say whether Helen was convinced or not. But for all her interest and fluency in French, Latin was her specialty. Latin verses by the score she wrote, and the marvei of it was, she could translate them. She was a master in the art of scanning and siill she never did much work for it. Now, after four years, and understanding her as we do, w e know that she will always be successful. 48 lie iras nof iNcrrli a of the old hlock, hid Ihr old Idock Itself ' ' C. ROLAND OLSON “Ollie” Dramatics, 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom Commiicee. General Course. Gaze upon him! When shall we look upon his like again? When we see Ollie’s beautiful Iocks of curly hair, it is a mystery to us whether he spends a few minutes curling them every morn- ing, or whether the barber does it every night. But anyway, all actors gain their reputations by their appear- ances, and we must hand it to Olson in that line. He certainly deserves a large chunk of that mug which he so earnestly worked for. What would English have been during those long dreary hours of reading if Ollie had not been there to read to us? We derived great pleasure from the original pronunciations produced when his tongue got twisted over the long words. Olson possesses a pair of long spindly legs on which he towers above the rest of the class; and these, together with his tortoise- shell specs and that bushy effect above his brow form a picture which will always remain dear in the memories of his classmates. 49 “ IV ' arc rhaniml Ini iiralticss of person; Id not Unj hair he out of order ' ' THOMAS F. O’MALLEY “Gymp” “Tom” Dramatics, 4; Student Staff, 1, 2, 4; G, F. Y. B. Technical Course. Gymp is the most fastidious among our group of shining lights. His line of cravats is said to include the famous 57 va- rieties. However, Tom is really a very quiet chap. Back in the days when we were young, he was a star in English and always had a fine line of , being the first to achieve that coveted honor — a story in the Student. Although he shone but once in dramatics, how bright was the shine thereof. His chief art lies in tragedy, in which he is un- excelled. Tom is famed far and wide as an orator, and whenever a bunch gets together, he is called upon for his speech, beginning, “We are here Gymp worked hard and faithfully and will surely succeed in whatever he undertakes. 50 I hr ni ihlin ia r shr sin;irth” GERTRUDE M. O’TOOLE “Gert” “Gertie” Glee Club. College Course. What will be the traits or incidents that will bring back Gert’s memory to the minds of her classmates in the years to come? Well, of course, we can’t forget her voice, and we will surely always remember those solos rendered by her, when we took refuge in Assembly Hall. We could always hear her perfectly when she warbled in the Glee Club, and it seems strange that Mr. Jordan could seldom hear her when she was asked to “rise and shine’’ in Latin. She was generally forced to give her recitations from the platform. And what nerve she had! It is certain that when we think of C. H. S. at all, Gert will surely come to our minds, and we will always wish for her the best that life can give. 51 ' Thr nr! of iiir IHalio)i mail he ererri.sed a! all hours, and all jdares ' ' HENRY M. O’TOOLE “O’Kafe” Dramatics, 4; G. F. N. B.; Junior Prom Committee. General Course. We all will remember Henry for his reputation in the line of dramatics, and are sure he did his share in winning ' that cup for old ’Eighteen on the last round. He made a big hit in the Senior Play also, when he made love for the first time. He is one of those boys who keep their woes and hard-luck stories to themselves, and we often see him meditating in the rear corner of the room. We must not forget that Henry surely tickles the ivories, furnishing the accompaniment for those most beautiful solos given by Haley, Taber Co. in the Assembly Hall. “O’Kafe,” himself, has a voice of no mean quality, as we all know who have heard him sing. His many friends wish him the best of success in his future career. 52 “ t ' makes a solitude and ealls it } eaee EUGENE POPP “oene” Commercial Course. ’Smatter Popp. Popp is another member of our class who strolls in from a neighboring- hamlet. He hangs his hat in Bolton but fills his head in Clinton. His only means of transportation are a bicycle and a school-bag. Popp has earned the name of being the quietest of all our class. We must rely on our eyes and not our ears to tell when Popp arrives, v hich cannot be said of some of our classmates. Gene started out to follow the calling of his ancestors. But since the “Aggie” course disappeared from the curriculum of C. H. S., he now plods his way through the maze of figures involved in a commercial education. He is an industrious worker and will surely rise to fame. 5 “ro r and trip it as yaa (ja, an the lif lit fantastic or” GRACE M. C. PRICE Normal Course. Grace hasn’t rambled through the halls of C. H. S. for very long, but still we have grown to appreciate her calm, easy man- ner. We long, also, to see her dance, for you know she has the envied reputation of being the best dancer of our class. Which reputation, “if I do say it, as shouldn’t,’’ is something to be proud of. Grace is contemplating Normal School, but will she become a teacher? There’s a question that only the years to come can decide. Wherever she goes, whatever path she follows, may she be successful. Although Clinton High has not enjoyed her presence for long, we know that she will reflect credit upon our common Alma Mater. 54 ' ' (lirryfid at ntoni hr ' irahrs from short rrposr, Hrrothrs the hrrti air and carols os hr (jorsd ' CARL I.

Ladies and Gentlemen: We take great pleasure in introducing to you this evening that world-renowned poet, athlete, acrobat, comedian, research chemist, and orator, the Honorable Carl I. Taber, Esquire. (Loud and vociferous applause.) Taber was there all right from the minute he hit old C. H. S. until he blushingly stood up and received his diploma. He was always smiling and up to something every minute. Moreover, anything he started was sure to finish and finish strong. Carl could learn poems and stories by the thousand and had one ready for every occasion. He was also considerable of a poet himself. With the exception of the class song, which all say is the best ever, his most famous work is “The Kaiser’s Dream,’’ which is startlingly original, to say the least. Tab er is very shy in the presence of the fair sex and never fell very hard for the ladies; but, alas! they all fell for him. We fear his beautiful complexion and his silky pompadour were the cause of many broken hearts. Carl is a great athlete and can do wonders in acrobatic stunts. He was organizer and leading spirit of that great organization, the G. F. N. B., and tooted his cornet in the H. S. Orchestra. His future destination is Harvard, via Exeter, and we can see them all sitting up and taking notice when he lands in towm. ' .(iu( li and the irorhl laiajliH irith ijaid ' HELENE TARBELL “Tarby” “Tubby” Glee Club, 4; Orchestra, 4; Dramatics, 4. Normal Course. Will she ever grow up? as INlr. Matthews has often asked. Well, whether she does or not, we hope she will always retain her free, careless, easy manner which has endeared her to the hearts of all her classmates. Tubby is a contralto singer of no mean ability, and her voice has. been heard with pleasure at many Red Cross affairs. She is our noisiest and best-natured classmate. She is always bouncing around under the teachers’ eyes, but they can’t resist her when she smiles at them. Still, she is always indignant to see her name on the P. M. session list. Helene intends to go to Normal School after she leaves Clin- ton High. Would we were kids again with her as a teacher! 56 (Vise, .VO yoiniii, thci CAMERON S. TOOLE “Tooley” “Cam” G. F. N. B.; Junior Prom Committee. Technical Coiii-Ase. We wonder where Cameron got those pink and white cheeks. We don’t think them false, for he has them all the time, and the girls do forget some mornings. Do we not all remember when Cam was the traveling adver- tising agent for the haberdashery shop down on High Street? My! how the girls did fall for him. Tooley was our expert stage manager during the trying times of our senior play, doing the heavy bell-ringing. Cameron has always been present at all oui- social affairs, and his specialty is dancing with all the teachers. We have not yet heard whei-e Tooley “goes from here,’’ but we are sure he will be succssful. 57 (iood lliinffs nnnc in .small jiad. ' at c.s ’ SARA TULLY “Sadie” Dramatics, 2, 3, 4. Normal Course. Prim and neat accurately describe Sadie, who would not think of appearing in class if every ruffle were not in place, or each individual strand of hair accounted for. Still, she worries not so much about her lessons; but, of course, lessons are trivial matters compared with one’s appearance. In high school dramatics, Sadie has taken a prominent part. She made her debut as the little French maid in “Veal Breaded,’’ brought down the house and incidentally the coveted cup. This she has continued to do ever since. She may be a teacher, she may go on the stage, she goes, may success go with her. 5 8 Wherever ' ' Iloijs will hr hoifs FERDINAND R. VATTES “Pete” G. F. N. B. General Course. Pete has stayed with ns faithfully through the four long years and furnished us with a good deal of amusement. He is the star pupil of all the German classes and is frequently called upon for expert advice, based on his trusty German ear. He has, however, a very untrustworthy voice, which if started suddenly is liable to skid. Pete used to be the goat sometimes of the Taber-Macintyre combination, but he took it all with a smile and returned it with interest. By the way, Pete’s real name is Ferdinand, but nobody knows that. Pete was the subject of that famous limerick perpetrated by one of our number, beginning, “There was a young fellow named Pete.’’ He used to take manual training when he was but a child, and one day he got too close to the band saw.

She has made many friends during her four years in Clinton High, and she will continue to make friends wherever she goes. Vve can see Margaret, in the future, charming her audiences by her music, for she will be an accomplished violinist. We wish her the best of luck in her work. 60 ' ' Wisdom is hclUr than rubies ' ' HELEN M. WARD Class Book Staff; Student Staff, 1, 2, 3, 4. Commercial Course. “Shark” was the title given to Helen, and it was the unani- mous opinion of classmates and teachers alike. A girl clever and unassuming, she has attracted many by her quiet ways. She worked afternoons nearly all year in an office, and she will continue permanently after graduation. To be able to keep work and school going and come out on top in both is some stunt, but it didn’t bother Helen a bit. To use the slang expression, you have got to hand it to her. Although she is going to work in an office for a time, at least, in whatever place life has ready for her, she will be happy and successful, and in so doing will fulfill the wish of ’18. 61 ‘‘Fairer far lha i Ui-s fiir ELSIE M. WHITCOMB Commercial Course. Elsie is one of those girls who can enjoy themselves and still find time to prepare all their lessons evei-y day. She was loved by all her classmates for her quiet and pleasing manner. After leaving school she will take up work as a secretary. We all agree that someone will be lucky in having such a faithful iielper as Elsie will prove herself to be. 62 l )ioirlc l(f(‘ is j)oir(r PHILIP H.

Technical Course. During four years of high school life a smile has never been a missing quantity with Phillie. He was always ready to give one and he certainly received one in return. This must be part of the reason for his popularity in C. H. S., manifested by fresh- men as well as seniors. Of course there were other reasons, such as his brilliancy in all classes, his ability to be pleasant in any company, and the music of the violin, French horn, or piano when Phillie was play- ing them. Such harmony and pleasing melody as he broug. c forth through the notes of our class song has done much to in- delibly imprint his memory on our minds. He was always present at all high school dances and when, on “the morning after the night before” the little round zeros were passed around, never a one for Phillie. In the Senior Play he was a heavyweight for a few hours, greatly in contrast to his natural size. For four years the star of success and promise has shone for Phillie. We are sure fame will soon come to him, and at that time the heartfelt wish of his classmates will be realized. 63 “.1 I jo afishnKj irilli j ou fallirr? ' CHARLES H. WITTMANN “Chuck” “Yocka Hula” “Mulligan” “Cruncher” “F ' eetmon” “Walt” Commercial Course. Among those who entered C. H. S. in September, 1914, was a little boy, quiet, reserved and insignificant, with a saintly counte- nance. Look at him now! “Chuck” still resembles the ideal boy in appearance only. His heart within him has changed. Now he is one of the noisest, boisterous, rough-house-loving chaps on the 1918 roll. Chuck is the originator of all the mob scenes per- formed by the “Bad Bunch” of Commercial Seniors. His am- bition in life is to hold down Chief jNIcGee’s job, and place Kiley and Fallon, his Nemesis, safe behind the bars. Like his co-partner. Gene Popp, Chuck is one of the shining lights of the Commercial class. When it comes to hard studying, Feetmon is especially “profeechent” at Greek. G4 (ionc bid not forgotten” RUTH DOUGANS Although Ruth departed from our midst over a year ago, she still wishes to be considered a memuer of 1918. She is rather hard to write up because of the lapse of time since we saw her, but we will do our best. We remember Ruth as a very pretty, dark-haired girl, who was popular with fellows and girls alike. She was quite promi- nent socially, and was in attendance at every party which was held during her high school career. Since she has left us, we have heard from her frequently, and we hope that the success she is enjoying at present may remain with her throughout her future life. 65 ROGUES’ GALLERY OG Our Story 67 FRESHMAN YEAR 111 Sei)leiiil)er, 1914, our (9ass, ()ii(‘ liuiidi-ed sti oii � ' , timidly embarked on its liii li seliool (uireer.

We also had the honor of selling the largest number of tickets for this event.

At the annual inter-class dramatic competition, AAuth the play, ‘A eal Breaded,” we surely lorded oAmr our u])per classmen, Avhen yq were Auctorious and 1918 Avas inscribed on the cup.

CLASS PROPHECY WHITTEN IJY MARV ’I ' . GIBIiONS. I-,ast soninier wlien we girls were at cajnp, Returning one niglit from a long, tedious tramp, We settled ourselves round the camp-fire bright And told our ambitions — what we’d be if we might. A low sound suddenly greeted our ear. And turning quickly, our hearts filled with fear. We beheld an old woman, all wizened with age. Her wrinkled old face a time-written page. A wizened old gypsy, who told many a story. Of people’s past pleasures and their future glory. “Cross my palm with silver bright. And I your fortune will unfold tonight.’’ Quickly into my tent I flew And from my purse a coin I drew; Then unto the gypsy went And crossed her palm, so worn and spent. O, gypsy, can you tell me true ‘ — • The futures of my classmates, what they’ll do Ten years hence? I would know tonight My classmates’ fortunes, dark or bright. With a weird gesture that must be obeyed She dismissed the group who would liked to have stayed; And drawing me close to the fire’s burning glow, She told me all that I wanted to know. As I slowly mentioned each familiar name. She told of their life-work, their glory, their fame. Hugh Haley, for four years stood at the stern. Guiding our class while we tried to learn. He will be famous as you could foresee. And the White House, one day, will be his see. And what of Joe Fletcher, our beloved V. P., As a friend or a classmate, always popular she; A woman of fortune, still loving and giving. She will guide the affairs of a household in living. And Ruth Kinnear will be sure to suit As a bank cashier of good repute, A girl always faithful and trustworthy. She’ll raise herself by her honesty. 84 Thomas Fallon, he will head The Clinton Chamber of Commerce, And in this capacity he will use well His experience and profuse business knowledge. Loretta Hastings’ goal I next do seek, A private sec., very trim and meek. With little woik and fabulous pay She’ll journey along from day to day. And Eugene Popp, whom we don’t know very well, He never got into trouble or any pell-mell; He will be a draftsman of no mean quality And the work of his hands will help well the country’s need. And Margaret Walsh As a violinist of great fame Will gain an enviable reputation And bring honor to her name. Teresa Cafarelli, whom we once thought Would in art become famous, before fame was sought; She will be a teacher of the sixth or seventh grade And her magister training will be very well laid. Tommy Maitland will be a first lieutenant Of the West Point school of war, Teaching all who will come after How we won all wars of yore. And Gladys Boyd A prosperous farmer’s wife. Will do much for her country And will lead a happy life. Bernice Harwood, after training In Dr. Sargent’s far-famed college, In Wellesley, as instructor. Very capably, will impart her knowledge. Charles Wittman, small but clever. Rarely at a dance is seen; He will be a U. S. A. detective Using well his mind so keen. And Sarah Leach will live a quiet life As a country preacher’s loving wife; To the parish people she’ll be endeared. And by everybody she’ll be revered. To Sadie Tully The honor is great To be the first congresswoman To represent the old Bay State. And Asnes Laughlan, in dear Clinton High, Though ten years will have passed since slie said goodbye, Will impart her business knowledge, which is very profuse To her Commercial students, to put into good use. And P erdinand Vattes, Better known as Pete, Will be proprietor of the Clinton Machine Works On our principal street. And Helen Ward, the smartest girl. As smart as any in our school. She will in the State House be. And will easily earn a large weekly fee. Grayce Mather will be a painter; Not one who daubs on bricks and wood. But an artist, and among the foremost critics She’ll be rated very good. William Fahey, an ambassador from the U. S. A., When on a foreign strand rely on him one may; To help Americans in trouble he’ll be ever staunch and true To give them the helping hand, representing the Red, White and Blue. And Mildred F’leming, sweet and fair. She’ll fall in love with a millionaire; The man in the case will win much fame. So Mildred will soon change her name. Helen McLeod, so careless and free. For whom we predicted a bright future to be; As an artist’s devoted wife She, very happy, will wend her life. And where is Mary Kerrigan’s goal? Always learning as of old? In a school there she will be Teaching tots their a, b, c’s. And Everett Howe, a chemist well known, For in this world war he’ll do much for his home, Concocting such gases of murderous actions That great will be the losses to our enemies, the Huns. Long will we remember Gert O’Toole, Sure to bring praise to Clinton High School; She, an opera singer soon will be known. Bringing home wreaths of worldly renown. And K. Gibbons, O where will she be? Lovable, kind and jolly to see. In a State Normal School she will be stationed. Teaching how to cook and prepare dainty rations. 86 And Pooch Graves, as an architect, Mimy a mansion he’ll design; And a flaw in any structure Will be difhcult to find. And Margaret Burke, her aspirations will change, A benevolent woman will be Margaret’s new name; In charitable circles, a familiar figure to see; Kind, loving and generous is she. And Carl Taber, his revivals Will fill a great hall without fail. And as Billy Sunday’s rival He’ll make sinners hit the trail. Magdalene Mitchell will be a teacher Of Crafts and of Arts, And because of charming personality She’ll oft be pierced by Cupid’s darts. And Henry O’Toole, what a wonderful fate; He’ll be chosen governor of our own beloved state. He’ll raise himself with such very great speed That the people will soon elect him to lead. Mary McCaffrey and Teresa Gibbons, Not to be separated in school lore Nor ever, but skilled in aviation, They’ll belong to a Flying Corps. Dewey Brady, our artist. He’ll be famed in every land For the wonderful character sketches. The work of his clever hand. Helen Kirby will give instruction In a well-known business school. Spending her time in teaching classes The various shorthand rules. Clif Lowe, our famous twirler. Will travel with the great Red Sox, And will win an envied reputation For his work in the pitcher’s box. In the world of flaring footlights ‘Twas thought Helene Tarbell would take her place. And she will, as a professonal dancer And be noted for her grace. Arthur Kiley, as a custom house inspector. Will sure be very spry; And no imported jewelry Will get by his watchful eye. Grace Price will be a suffragette. Working valiantly for the cause; And after every brilliant speech She’ll be greeted with loud applause. 87 Cameron O’Toole will be captain Of a U. S. man-of-war: And to his men, Uncle Sam’s marines. His word will be always law. Philip White, he’ll be an inventor of fame. And great work of genius he’ll have attached to his name; In government work, his genius will shine. But the great Mr. White will be Phillie all the time. And where will Elsie Whitcomb be, A girl so charming and so sweet? She will head Clinton’s ’Phone Exchange, And guide all calls within her range. Thomas O’Malley, district attorney in our own state. Will work hard on his cases both early and late; He’ll plead so brilliantly before those twelve men who decide. That the truth of his statements they’ll never deny. Jimmy MacIntyre, our leading man. Will rival Francis X., And for his brilliant screen work. He’ll draw enormous checks. Sadie McGrail, a buyer for Filene’s, Will display to advantage, blues, browns and greens. She’ll spend her winters in gay Paree, And will bring home its fashions for ihe women to see. Roland Olson will be a professor of knowledge. Of Physics and Chemistry or some such queer lore; The students will prosper, the teacher will gain, And all will run smoothly under his reign. And Isabel Lowe will take emotional parts In Shakesperian plays, she’ll rival Sarah Bernhardt; Her classmates will ever rejoice in her fame. Her glory they’ll hitch with nineteen eighteen’s name. And now I have mentioned each classmate so dear, And I’ve recited their fates as told me by the seer; Each one will success in his own pathway find. And to each one of them fate will surely be kind. We’ve been taught by our teachers, so kind and so true. The principles of life, very old but ever new; And now may they give to others who come Those old true lessons we’ve tried to take home. Now my classmates of dear old eighteen. After four years of school life together we’ve seen. The time of our parting is fast drawing nigh. And we grieve to be leaving dear Clinton High. But the years that will come May they shine forth for you; May God speed you and keep you Whatever you’ll do. S CLASS SONG WORDS BY CARL I. TABER MUSIC BY PHILIP H. WHITE 1 . At last Ave’re victorious; oui goal is attained Which through foui ha])py years we have sought ; I ut let us keep striving with hopes uuresti ' aiued, (luided on l)y the rules we’ve been taught. Today we start out in the work of oui choice l ei ' haps again never to meet, Until at the call of the Almighty’s voice We humbly shall kneel at his feet. Chorus : (loodbye, Clinton High School. Our hearts are filled with mem’ries dear Of school days now passed away Which will grow brighter year by year; And we’ll not forget in parting To look back with a sigh, And bid our friends of old ’Eighteen A final sad goodbye. 2 . And now we aiT leaving our school and our friends. With mingled joy and i egret ; We oft will look back o’ei our High School careei . And those years we will never forget.
