of deUghV ' ' ‘She was a phantom JOSEPHINE HELEN BAGDEN “Jo” Junior Prom Committee; Inter-Class Dramatics, 2; A. A. Commercial Course “Jo” enjoys the most sunny of dispositions, or rather we en- joy her happy disposition. She is never sad, but always jolly and ready to have a good time wherever she goes and at every social function you’re sure to hear, “Oh, where’s Jo.?” “Jo” has a keen sense of humor and is quick to laugh at the witty sallies of her classmates, but in addition to the aforesaid humor she possesses the unhappy faculty of being caught in the act and consequently she may be seen at almost any time among the patient toilers who wait until the clock strikes 4.30 before wending their homeward way. Josephine intends to go to business school next year and then she will brighten some office and make life more sunny for some harried employer. Here’s to Josephine, wishing her success in her new undertaking. 22

‘ Sfndioxs- to please, net not ashamed to fail” HELEN AKESON “Akie” Student, 3, 4; Dramatics, 2; Junior Prom Committee. College Course. Helen is the tom-boy of the class. She has had the distinc- tion of being the only girl in the class more times than any other girl of ’21. Aftr a few periods like English II or III or Geometry or Chem- istry she must have felt like a regular co-ed. Helen lives a long way from school so she has deve ' lopd some stride; if you never tried to keep up with her you don’t know w hat a fast life is. After Helen gets her M. D. all her patients, one kind at least, will be singing, “I don’t want to get well.” Helen has put in four years of faithful, consistent work in Clinton High and she can leave with the big satisfaction of knowing that she has accomplished something. 21

“ •or the hennty of a lorely tromoti is like musie ' HAZEL VERONICA BURNS “Curly” “Vera” Commercial Course Hazel is one of the petite members of our class with dark curly hair and large hazel eyes that bring her a host of friends (not all of her own sex, to say the least). Hazel is athletically in- clined, is a great basket-ball, footbal ' l and baseball fan, not to mention her ability as a skater. She and her boon companion, “Gert” Hastings, spend many of their happiest hours gliding over the glassy smoothness of the Nashua. “Curly” made herself invaluable to our class by her willing- ness to “lend a hand” in all school affairs. In shorthand Hazel never fails to see the brightest side of a situation and to divide with her neighbor. This accounts for the frequent change of seats. Hazel took the Commercial Course and although she is unde- cided where she will go next year, we think it probable she will follow up business and faithfully fulfil her duties as private sec- retary. Best wishes of ’21 in all your undertakings. Hazel. 23
