lt A little , tiny, pretty, witty, charming darling — she” ALICE GIBBONS “Gibby” Commercial Course Student Staff; Orchestra, 3, 4. On the same tide that bore so many of us to Clinton High School came Alice Gibbons, our class baby. “Gibby” has the dis- tinction of being the youngest in the class and also one of the cleverest, as was shown by her ability to enter from the eighth grade, and then to keep on the honor role of the school. “Gibby” is considered one of the really intellectual stars of our class, es- pecially in French, where she was held up as the shining light of the class. Nor are all “Gibby’s” accomplishments confined to intellec- tual lines, for Alice is quite a musician. She is an all round good sport, enjoys a good joke, attends all the baseball and foot- ball games and everything pertaining to school. Alice plans to enter the business world, and in her future success we, her class- mates, see only a reflection of the attainments of her High School days. 27

“ A perfect woman , nobly planned ’ ANNA CUNNINGHAM College Course Dramatics, 3, 4; Senior Play; Student Staff; Class Book Staff; Junior Prom; Orchestra. Dear Anna! There is so much that can be said about her that it is hard to know where to begin. We verily believe Anna is the busiest girl in C. H. S. Studies, music and dramatics occupy every minute of her time. Anna is very fond of study — and play too, but she can never be enticed to leave her work until it is finished to her own satisfaction. She is an accom- plished violinist and it is always a pleasure to listen to her. Her work in dramatics has won her much praise and considerable of a reputation. Oh, yes! She is “some” artist. She is quite ex- pert in free-hand drawing and it is whispered that that is her chosen profession. In spite of all her accomplishments Anna is a very modest girl and ready for a good laugh any time. It is needless to say we are all proud of her and know she will be a great success in whatever she undertakes. 26

“ Blessing on thee little man” CARROLL GIBBONS “Gibby” Orchestra; Junior Prom Committee; Senior Dance Committee. Wouldn’t it be terrible of us if in writing about Mr. Gibbons we substituted an “isn’t” for an “is.” We would have something like this. He isn’t popular. He isn’t witty. He isn’t fat. He isn’t talented, etc. The list would reach from here to Baneo. For a young man “Gibby” in class presented about the larg- est, most comfortable appearance we ever saw. When called upon it took him about a half hour to use another half hour to get through recitation and an hour listening to the answer of his teacher. Oh, Yea! Yea! With Miss Kent, Carroll was very popular. We’ve heard she frequently called upon him in German. But outside of the fact that “Gibby” was somewhat of a “grind”? and almost ran away with “high honors,” he was a “reglar feller.” To mention Carroll’s ability as a pianist is a bit superfluous. He has gained wide recognition and in the pursuit of the study of music we all feel his success is ultimate. 28
