MEMORABILIA VOLUME IX CLASS OF 1922 MOTTO: EVERY DAY SOME NOBLER DEED QUOQUE DIE IN ALIQUID NOBILIUS This book “MEMORABILIA IX” is respectfully dedicated to LEWIS SANFORD GORDON, JR. Sub-principal of Clinton High School as a token of deep appreciation of the Class of 1922 for his efforts on our behalf 3 CLASS BOOK STAFF, “MEMORABILIA IX THE EDITORIAL STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF AUSTIN J.

BURKE EDITORS ALICE TOOLE EDWARD MOIR IRENE HESTER KENNETH CUSTANCE BERNICE LYMAN JOHN McCUE MARGUERITE WARD RICHARD McINTYRE ELIZABETH SAUNDERS BUSINESS MANAGER JAMES F. SHAW, JR. ASSISTANTS DOROTHEA ZOLL GORDON NEEDHAM JOSEPHINE GRIFFIN 5 6 CLINTON HIGH SCHOOL FOREWORD The writing hand has stopped, and its efforts, the Nineteen Twenty-Two Memorabilia, humbly asks for consideration. We ask you who read it to consider it kindly, not as a liter- ary effort, but as a keen desire to weave the threads of com- radeship into -a cloth of memory, which will perpetuate the hours of joy and pleasantry spent together in the true spirit of fellowship. Our destinies are controlled by no human hand. Perhaps we shall never meet again after we bid good-bye. But though continents shall separate us, we shall still live over the wonderful years of high school by turning the leaves of our class book. It is its duty to see that no cloud of forget- fulness will ever overshadow the light of wonderful days which still lives in all true hearts; that Nineteen Twenty- Two shall go on into the unfathomed depths of the future with fond memories of the happy days spent behind the walls of dear old high school. The spirit of Nineteen Twenty-Two needs no class book, for it is written on our hearts and never will die, but not to break established precedents, our book has been written, and we take an earnest delight in presenting our effort. If we have succeeded in adding fuel to the fire of memories ; if we have sent some small thrill into your sober hearts, our labors will not have been in vain, and we shall feel as though our dreams have been realized and that we have ' added also another gem to Alma Mater’s collection of jewels. A TRIBUTE TO THE FACULTY As we stand on the threshold of advancement into the world, our thoughts turn to those who guided us during our high school days. The kind and patient teachers who cared for us with the interest and scrutiny of parents are now receiving the glory that should have been theirs four long years ago. The teaching profession is one of many tribulations. At the start of our sojourn in high school, they appeared as relentless as the north wind, but when the time came, they showed us that they were our true friends and we no longer looked upon them with contempt, but admired their teach- ings -and learned to love and respect them. Now that we realize the troubles and trials we have caused them, we cannot help but feel a pang of sorrow as we prepare to leave. We pocket our pride and we ask humble pardon for the wrongs that we have committed and for the trail that has been turned gray by us. The fact that we no longer can study under their worthy guidance fills us with a deep regret, and as we bid a sad farewell to the walls of dear old high school, we wish each and every mem- ber of the faculty many years of happy and useful service in the future. 8 Our Teachers 9 EBEN S. COBB As principal during our four years, he has shown his ability as a teacher and guide. His counsel, i ich in the wisdom of experience, has made him a true friend of the graduating class, a friend who never will be forgotten. Regret that we must sever our relations fills us as we bid him a fond fare- well. LEWIS S. GORDON, Jr. “Doc,” our ever-reliable friend, helped us in our trying moments when Dame Fortune frowned upon us, and it was his good-nature and advice that helped us over the rough road. It is almost impos- sible for words to express our heartfelt thanks of his efforts. Every token of appreciation is his and 1922 will never forget this “gentleman extraordinary.” NELLIE KENT From Miss Kent, we have learned the joy of work well accomplished and the value of consistent effort. She has always taken a great in- terest in the future of the class, and her constant service as a teacher has made her a trust- worthy friend of 192 2. A true friend, willing and obliging, and as a teacher of mathematics, she has no equal. 10 ROLAND B. HOUSTON The mechanical drawing- class boasts of one of the finest teachers in the state. A favorite in the classroom and a competent and reliable teacher, he has gained the well wishes of the school. His methods of teaching are clever and instructive and his heart is as big as all out- doors. ELLEN K. STEVENS Although Miss Stevens has been with us for only two years she has taken a place in our hearts never to be forgotten. In our Junior year, she was always ready to teach us the bright side of the European ages. In our Senior year, she taught us some of the most interer ting points of U. S. History which will always remain with us. HANNAH M. WALSH Miss Walsh has shown herself a true friend of 1922, and she was always patient with our faults. She taught English in our Fresh- men and Senior years and although some of us brought little learning to class we always had much more when we left. Kind, sincere and competent, her many years of teaching has gained for her many friends. 11 SUSAN D. SMITH Miss Smith is one of our ablest teachers and our ideal friend. During our stay in high school, our path has been cleared from many obstacles by her advice and her good judgment. It is almost impossible to express our deep appreciation and gratitude to her, but 19 22 will always remember her. MARGARET O ' NEIL It is the regret of the Sen- ior class that they do not see more of Miss O’Neil. How- ever, the fortunate who study with her have been able to learn her value as an efficient member of the fa- culty. The members of the class who were lucky enough to learn the Latin language under her care, feel a pang of sorrow as they bid good- bye. M. ETHEL TIERNEY Because of her close connection with most of the class of 1922, Miss Tierney has become one of our favorite teachers. She was always ready to lend a helping hand in our darkest moments. A kind and patient friend to the stenography class, and working at all times for the interest of the class, the graduating class will not forget her. 12 MARIE E. GIBBONS Miss Gibbons was our home-room teacher and also a capable teacher of the lan- guage This was her first year of teaching in Clinton High School. Nevertheless, she is a valuable addition to the faculty and her obliging nature has made her a fav- orite of our class. ROSE E. RATHBUN Miss Rathbun has been with us since our Sophomore year trying to enlighten us about the methods of business. The students who make good in the business world can thank her for the splendid teaching they received while under her care. She is quite a favorite among the girls, but does not come in contact with many of our boys. ELLEN M. SMALL As a household arts and cooking teacher, Miss Small is a perfect success. It is well demonstrated by the caps and aprons worn by her pupils, and by the food they cook. She is also a competent French teacher and it is the re- gret of most of the Seniors that they do not take that subject from such a pleasant teacher. 13 MARY GIBBONS Miss Gibbons joined our ranks this year. Since her coming- to Clinton High she has made many friends with our girls, especially among our basket-ball players. Our education on anatomy has certainly increased under her strict direction. MILDRED SMITH Each and everyone of us have at some time or other gazed upon some of the drawings and paint- ings completed by pupils under the capable supervision of Miss Smith. With a thorough knowl- edge of the work she is engaged in, and a keen eye for the works of art, she is an inspiration to the pupils fortunate enough to ' study with her. ALICE B. McNAB Although very few of us have had the pleasure of being in any of Miss McNab’s classes, we have had enough experience in our study periods and personal inter- views to learn to love her. Will- ing at all times to help a student and confidential in her advice, she has made for herself a place in our hearts. 14 Joseph f. McCaffrey Our successes in the sport- ing ' line are due to the fin- ished coaching ability of this man. Starting his first year as a member of our faculty, he has made many friends and future years are sure to spell success for him. The best of luck is his in every venture lie may under- take. MARTHA LINTON Almost everyone in the Senior class have spent some very pleasant hours with Miss Linton during our stay in Clinton High. The won- derful work accomplished by the orchestra and the Glee Club, and the complete suc- cess of the Operetta, illus- trates what a capable and talented teacher can do. 15 AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT Once again we feel that we must make one more effort to express publicly our thanks to Lewis S. Gordon, Jr., for his earnest efforts on our behalf. Through difficulties and troubles, he was our guiding star, and the fervent appreciation of the Class of Nineteen Twenty-Two goes to him as we depart from the school we loved so well. 16 FROM THE CLASS BOOK SCRIBES Hey, all you good-looking Seniors, all you clever people, just a second. We would have u few words with you. You haven’t got time? Oh, you have. That’s better. AVe did not realize you were so busy, and it is certainly very good of you to allow us a part of your time. Now, when you read your class book, if there’s anything written in it that you do not like, forget about it. AVhat of it if you are given -a. few slams by the editors? Whatever you do, don’t kick up a fuss or get sore, because everything is meant to make the book a success. So take everything right, (but don’t get caught taking it). As we said, don’t get mad, for in days to come when your hair is turning gray, when you’re rocking the baby to sleep, or if your better half has just slipped a flatiron at you, (or for the other sex, if your hubby has just thrown your new-made flap- jacks out the window) turn to your class book and what you are angry with now, will then be your cause to smile. So buck up and smile. Amu know life cannot be all sun- shine, but with this little book to turn to, why it can be one substantial smile. Remember, “ laugh and the world laughs with you.” We’ve tried to make the book a success, and, if it isn’t satisfactory to you, why we’re not worrying. So, how do you like that? That’s all we have to say. We thank you for the time you have taken to hear our apology and now we shall close, because “that’s all there is, there ain’t no more.” 17 Our Office rs 18 AUSTIN J. O’TOOLE President GERTRUDE M. BURKE V ice-President JANICE B. ALLARDICE Secretary 19 HORACE ALTMAN Treasurer Our Class Come, I’ll tell thee what thou art, And, yes, I ”11 tell thee true. — Scott. 20 “ Teach me half the gladness that tin brain must know’’ JANICE BARCLAY ALLARDICE “Jay” “J. G.” “J. G. B. A.” Secretary Class, 3, 4; Dramatics, 3; Senior Play; Junior, Senior Dance Committees; Junior Prom. College Course. Favorite Occupation: Matching Pennies. Favorite Expression: “Great Goat!” Favorite Song: “Teasin’ ” Favorite Drink: Chocolate and White. “Jay!” The one girl who always is the same to everybody and at all times. She never has a grouch and is a sure cure for a ' ll blues. Wherever she goes, she has a good time and makes everybody else believe they’re enjoying themselves, too. You can always tell when she’s within a radius of one or two mi ' les, and this remarkable feat is accomplished by a much more remarkable voice. Frankly, “Jay” has a wonderful voice. “J. G.” sure is a shark in school. She has her good time but she finishes her work first. If there were more of us like her, we’d be graduating with stars after our names. Talking about stars, we certainly saw them all one period in chemistry when “Jay” accidentally (?) set fire to phosphorous. “J. G. B. A.” has a remarkable personality which accounts for her never ceasing popularity wherever she goes. She is planning to go to Simmons next year and we are assured of her success. We feel sure that “Jay” will live for the pure joy of living and to help others to live. 21 ' shall not look upon his like again n HORACE ALTMAN “ ’Orace” Class Treasurer; Dramatics, 4; Football, 3, 4; Basketball, 4; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4; Debating Club; Student, 2, 3, 4; Track, 2 3; Junior Dance Committee. Technical Course. Favorite Occupation: Running Back Punts. Favorite Expression: “Hey, Dick.” Favorite Song: “Melody in F.” Favorite drink: Coca Cola.” Horace is what one would call a real American boy. Quiet, modest and sincere, he has won his way into the hearts of his teachers and school mates. Whether in the study room or on the athletic field ’Orace has the same keen desire to win. And invariably he does. For his redoubtable spirit, combined with his keen knowledge, are the foundations forViis success. Horace was one of the brightest stars on the football and basketball teams, and his all-round ability has he ' lped to win many of the victories for Clinton High. And, by the way, did you see the Senior Show? If you did, you noticed Horace. Some said that night that it was some pol- ished actor, while others said they had never seen such smooth acting. Musician? Oh yes, Horace plays the violin or trombone with equal ease. ’Orace’s destination is Brown, and we might state now that Brown may well consider itself lucky to have the honor of making the acquaintance of our class treasurer, for Horace will still keep going, piling success upon success, and will, we hopq realize his every ambition. 22 “ Her brown eyes sought the west afar , for lovers love the western star ” MADELEINE BASTIAN “Dutch” “Mitzi” Secretary A. A. 1 ; Senior Play; Sophomore, Junior, Senior Dance Committees; Junior Prom; A. A. College Course. Favorite Occupation: Reducing. Favorite Expression: “You Old Joker!” Favorite Song: “Nifty Guy.” Favorite Drink: Lime and Lemon. Madeleine is our social butterfly. She’s always on the go and any morning will find us waiting for her to tell us all about her latest venture. She always has been and always will be a favor- ite among both sexes. She certainly is a girl to be envied. “Dutch” is a girl of many accomplishments, dancing, swim- ming, playing, acting — all are very much in her line. And as for school work — well chemistry was her stronghold, and although she sometimes didn’t know whether a substance was a solid or a liquid, she could always think up questions which kept Mr. Cobb busy answering. “Mitzi” is a very clever little designer, and we know that her ability will bring her success while her charming personality will win her many friends. 23 “She acts, speaks and behaves just as she ought’ ’ MARY VERONICA BRENNAN “Mae” “Baby” Sophomore Dance Committee; Class Pin Committee. Normal Course. Favorite Occupation: Moonlight Strolls. Favorite Expression: “You’ve Got Me.” Favorite Song: “I Ain’t Nobody’s Darling.” Favorite Drink: Ginger Ale. Mary is the “tres petite” girl of the class. “Young in limbs, in judgment old,” applies to her. For you know Mary has always big arguments to offer when it comes to answering history. Although Mary sits near the noisy bunch in history, she isn’t noisy herself, but rather enjoys the mischief done by others. Her conscious endeavor and faithful application have made her high school career a success. Her four years have been witness of persistent work, and pursuit to do what she had to do. Mary isn’t an athlete herself, but she views with a very keen interest all the games from the reviewing stand. Football is her hobby. I suppose you are wondering why? We are, too. Mary’s destination will be Framingham Normal, and judging from her past we know that she will be successful. 24 “ She is — but words would fail to tell the what , IhinJc what a woman should be, and she is that” GERTRUDE MARY BURKE “Gert” “Buddy” Vice-President of Class of 192 2, 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice-President of A. A., 3; Assistant Editor-in-Chief of Class Book; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Mandolin Club, 3; Inter-Class Dramatics, 3; Senior Show, 4; Sophomore, Junior, Senior Dance Committees; Pin Committee; Junior Prom Committee. Commercial Course. Favorite Occupation: Driving a Ford. Favorite Expression: ‘‘Oh Sakes!” Favorite Song: “Sweetheart.” Favorite Drink: Orange and Lime. That “Gert” is our most popular girl is proven by the fact that she has been vice-president for four long years, and monop- olizes three of the most prominent factors in the class ballot. There is one thing that bubbles over in “Gert” and that is her class spirit. She always has the interest of the class at heart and that accounts for the successes of 1922. She is liked not only by her own class, but by everybody in High School — but can you blame them? There is one thing we’ve never been able to find out, and that is whether she’s a vamp or not. Anyhow, she’s usually besieged by the opposite sex. Another point in her favor is her ability to act and she certainly can do that. We cannot begin to ' tell you what an excellent actress she is — words would fail us. However, “Buddy” is too sensible to get stage-struck and she tells us she’s going away to school next year. We know that wherever she goes she will always be popular and always be the same old “Gert” to us. 25 u Laugh and the world laughs with you ” CATHERINE DOMITILLA BURKE “Burke” “Ta” “Dimples” Glee Club (1) Favorite Occupation: Driving the Gray Mare. Favorite Expression: “Cut It Out!” Favorite Song: “When “Frances”? Dances With Me.” Favorite Drink: Punch. A glance at “Ta’s” picture will tell the story of why she was nicknamed “Dimples.” Her good and carefree nature made her a companion sought by many, not only within the high school, but also outside. Throughout her high school career, Catherine has made a success of everything she has undertaken. “Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you” is the motto of her carefree spirit. She is a firm believer in looking on the bright side of life, a true optimist in every sense of the word. Catherine rightfully belongs to the class of good sports. “Dimples” is to enter Fitchburg Normal in the fall. We know she will succeed, for anyone with such a pleasing person- ality cannot but bring honor to her Alma Mater. 26 6 1 His worth is warrant for his welcome JOSEPH JAMES BURKE “Joe” “Burky” Football, 2, 3, 4. Technical Course. Favorite Occupation: Studying. Favorite Expression: “Gosh Yuh.” Favorite Song: “Dangerous Blues.” Favorite Drink: Yin Rouge. Joe is one of the easy-going, unassuming kind who are always ready to profit by listening and not by talking. It is putting it light to say that Joe seldom speaks more than thirty-five words a day. Just the same, he always enjoys a good joke, and he has a laugh that seems to need oiling. Football is Joe’s game. He could live and die with a football in his arms and maybe he can’t “hit the line.” Lord! When he hurls himself at his opponents you may rest assured that only a prayer will stop him, and all evidence shows that very few pray- ers are said. “Burky” is always in attendance at our socials and is never lacking for a partner. He never misses a moon-light waltz. I wonder why! Joe has decided to enter Fitchburg Normal, where he is bound to succeed, and 1922 wishes him every sucecess. 27 “ The wisdom of many , and the icit of one ” WILLIAM FRANCIS BURNS “Billy” Dramatics, 4; Student, 2, 3, 4; Debating Club; Juuior Dance Committee. Commercial Course. Favorite Occupation: Selling Camisoles. Favorite Expression: “I Tell You Its a Bargain.” Favorite Song: “Mother Machree.” Favorite Drink: Father John’s Medicine. Here is another proof that a man’s character cannot be de- termined by his outward appearances. You would never suspect “Billy” of being an orator, and a deep student, and poet, would you? Yet he is all three, and more. If there is any enjoyment in life then “Burns” has it. We, who have given his case a searching investigation have failed, as yet, to fathom and fully ferret out all his unusual attributes. He has an ungodly vocab- ulary. The casual visitor would generally find “Burns” composing an elegy on McNicholas, or writing an epic poem of the beautiful spring. His literature is really remarkable and as some say he is a descendent of the Scotch poet. However, we are inclined to think he is in a class by himself. “Billy” and his constant friend “Tony” stick together like mucilage, and, as he seems to be the bane of “Tony’s” existence, it looks as though they would have to continue housekeeping in partnership even after graduation, unless Fate gives them an un- welcome Jolt. Cheer up, Billy, as usual, the worst is yet to come, but never worry for your path is strewn with roses and the luck of ’2 2. 28 “Stic seemed as happy as a ware that dances on the sea ” SARA URSULA CANNON “Sally” “Sal” College Course Favorite Occupation: Drawing. Favorite Expression: “My Heavens!” Favorite Song: “After the Ball is Over.” Favorite Drink:: “Whistle.” “Sara Cannon; Oh! Sally, you mean! I hardly knew whom you meant; we always call her Sally.” Sally came in as a freshman with the rare accomplishment of being a great artist. Whenever a prize was offered for the best poster, Sal always took it. Jolly? We’1 ' 1 say she is; never see Sally frown, or you may be sure something is going to happen — a test in chemistry, per- haps. Sally also ' has proved she is quite an attraction among the male set by her popularity at all our dances — and some others too. Sally tells us she is to continue the study of drawing when she leaves school. We know she will be a success, and she has the best wishes of C. H. S. to follow her always. 29 “ Though vanquished he could argue still PURVIS JAMES OARRUTH “Purp” Debating Club; Orchestra, 3, 4; Sophomore Dance Committee. College Course Favorite Occupation: Arguing. Favorite Expression: “Well, say.” Favorite Song: “Everybody Step.” Favorite Drink: Vanilla milk. After looking us over with complete satisfaction, “Purp” leaned his violin in a corner, slung his hat in a desk and an- nounced his intention of staying. He then proceeded to absorb what the faculty hands out, but un ' like a sponge, he always insists on finding the cause for every effect. His heated arguments with “Doc,” in Senior English were the source of keen delight. Carruth is the worthy President of the Debating Club. He has commenced a career of public speaking this year, and we are all sure he will become a noted statesman in the future. “Purp” has other talents beside speaking, for his musical ability is far renowned, and, by the way, take a slant at his picture, and you will easily conclude why most of the fairer sex take an added “pike” (excuse the vernacular) as he tramps through the corridors. “Purp” is bound for Harvard, and to this true classmate, sin- cere and faithful, 1922 wishes success in any venture. 30 “She teas always fond of visiting new scenes and observing strange characters and manners ” JULIA MARGUERITE CLARKE “Jul” “Julie” Junior Prom Commercial Course Favorite Occupation: Dancing Favorite Expression: “Yes, dear.’’ Favorite Song: “In the Evening.’’ Favorite Drink: Coffee Frappe. “Jul” of the tailored blouses and curls, cut quite a figure down in the business department. She was a peppy little typist, and one of the sharks in bookkeeping. But then, one must not think that she burned the “midnight oil,” for school held no ter- rors for her. “Life is too short; why worry?” said she. Socially “Jul” was one of the brighter stars in the. firma- ment. She never missed a dance; dancing was her delight, and the latest steps her specialty. Also she was quite some jazz player. Even the furniture would rise up and go through the intri- cate steps of the latest fantastic when our “Jul” tackled the piano. “Julie” was quite a favorite in the class, particularly among the boys, for she was gifted with a gay spirit that appealed to the masculine heart. We expect to see“ Jul” in a company of Russian Ballet. The footlights, she says, is her aim, and we hope her ambition is realized. It will be of course, unless she becomes somebody’s pri- vate secretary for life. 31 “ Great thoughts like great deeds, need no trumpet” KENNETH DINSMORE OUSTANCE “Susie” “Custy” Class Book Editorial Staff College Course F avorite Occupation — Trying to reach the high ones. Favorite Expression— “Oh H - - 1.” Favorite Song — “Humoresque.” Favorite Drink: Lemonade. Modest, dignified, conservative, talented, are just a few of the descriptive adjectives which we could use to describe this unusual youth. Kenneth is indeed a talented boy, for his nimbleness at the piano keys is well-known and his recitals and musicales have been more than successful. Yes, indeed, at the piano he makes Paderewski look like a back number. Kenneth is very modest about his cleverness which is another point in his favor. Indeed, were we to continue finding the good points about him it would necessitate volumes to write it. As an amateur dramatic coach, “Custy” staged a two-act play for the benefit of the Senior History Class, which resulted in a com- plete success, both socially and financially. You will find some day when t he class of 1922 shall be only a fond memory, this quiet youth, startling the world as a pianist. Farewell, “Custy,” may your path be bright and your future days be spent in happiness. 32 “Oft in danger , yet alive “ JOSEPH HERBERT ELLAM “Joe” Basketball Manager, 4 Technical Course Favorite Occupation: Talking to himeslf. Favorite expression: “Lemme alone.” Favorite Song: “I Dreamt That I Dwelt in Marble Halls.” Favorite Drink: Sloan’s Liniment. Ellam was the unassuming youth who quietly passed up the first three years of high school and then burst into a peppy senior, socially and scholastically. Quiet, hut with a keen wit and a sharp knowledge, “Joe” has won his way into the hearts of his class- mates. He was the clever basketball manager who was the real cause for the successful season. The class ballot shows Ellam the best natured boy, and the class certainly made no mistake. If you wish a favor done, — then Ellam will do it, for a nature of rare- ness he certainly has. Ellam is bound for Tufts to become a doctor and you may rest assured that, when he puts out the shingle, not a few of his pa- tients will be old classmates. A fine fellow, with the same spirit of 1922, we wish him every success in the medical world. 33 “ A silent creature, thoughtful , grave, sincere ” DORIS ELIZABETH FAULKNER “Dot” Commercial Course Favorite Occupation: Doing shorthand. Favorite Expression: “Good-night.” Favorite Song: “I Know Not Why.” Favorite Drink: Water. “A silent creature, thoughtful, grave, sincere.” How perfectly this describes Doris Faulkner! Everyone of these attributes seem to belong to her character. Ever since we have known her, we have thought of her in just those terms, as being endowed with thoughtfulness, gravity and true sincerity. Doris is silent but not to the detriment of her rank. She is always able to add to a discussion in class and it is always sure to be a thoughtful addition. If we were to think of her future, we would be sure of one thing — that she would lead a life of service in what ever she did. We believe her to have the divine gift of unselfishness which will command the admiration and respect of all with whom she will come into contact. Truly, we think she might say of her High School days what Charles Dickens has said of his ' life, “Whatever I have tried to do in my life, I have tried to do well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself to com- pletely; in great aims and in small, I have always been thor- oughly in earnest.” 34 The world is a comedy to those who think ” 4 4 MILDRED ELIZABETH GANNON “Millie” “Giggles” Class Prophetess Favorite Occupation: “Laughing.” Favorite Expression: “Whoa.” Favorite Song: “I Hear You Calling Me.” Favorite Drink: Moxie. A better girl than Millie never lived. During the four years we have known her, we have never heard an unfavorable word uttered against her. Probably to no other member in the class, can a like tribute be paid. All of us have our enemies, but if “Millie” had any enemies she immediately converted them into friends. “Millie” was elected the best natured girl in the class, and it is certainly true. Millie doesn’t care much for studies, she considers them mere things that have to be done sometime. Although she took this attitude, yet she always managed to ' skin the line. Giggles has taken business course, but she will not continue it. Her ability lies in the millinery line. This is shown by the pretty hats she wears— made by her own hands. My, how we envy them. “Clever girl she is.” Bidding farewell, Millie, we know that, with your cheerful disposition, the world will have a place for you. 35 “ From the crown of her head to the souls of her feet , she is all mirth” MARGARET CATHERINE GOHERY “Molly” “Peggy” Basket-ball, 4 Favorite Occupation: Studying the Constitution. Favorite Expression: “Do it now.” Favorite Song: “Molly Dear, It’s You I’m After .” Favorite Drink: Punch. The very minute we speak of “Molly” we think of basket- ball. Is is any wonder? Can we ever forget “Peggy” as we saw her darting down the floor after the ball? Never. If it were only the remembrances of her as a basket-ball player, she will al- ways remain fresh in our memories. The saying, “Good stuff comes in small packages,” certainly fits her to a “T.” Bright and cheerful in disposition, always ready for fun and with the ability to start it, if necessary, she has proven herself to be one of the best members of the class. “Peg” has been known as one of the happiest and liveliest members. Times when things were going wrong and everybody blue (especially during exams) she would be sure to relieve the monotony. Her good times have been the cause of her ' learning volumes of the Constitution, but that was nothing in Molly’s young life. Margaret always took an active part in the social affairs of the school, too. Peggy is to enter “Posse” in the fall. The success she is bound to achieve cannot do otherwise than reflect honor on C. H. S. 36 “’Persuasive speeches and more persuasive sighs ' Silence that spoke and eloquence of eyes” JOSEPHINE HILDA GRIFFIN “Josie” Junior Prom Committee; Mandolin Club; Class Book Business Staff; History Class Play. Commercial Course Favorite Occupation: Reading. Favorite Expression: “No!!” Favorite Song: “Leave Me With a Smile.” Favorite Drink: Chocolate soda. Who can ever forget Jo as an “old maid” in our master- piece, “Love and Tea.” She sure ' ly took the part to perfection, but off the stage no “Old Maid” life for Josie. In the class room, when Jo ' would be called on to read or recite, we could sit back and listen, for we all enjoyed hearing Jo give her many opinions. She had such a clear way of express- ing herself! But why not? Jo is to be a politician some day, and we know she will be able to hold her audience at attention while she is on the platform. Jo would like to be a mayor, and we feel sure she will be a mayor, if not the first mayor of Clin- ton. At present Jo is studying in the commercial branch, and she surely is a success. To Josie we all go when we get stuck on a “Trial Balance” — or on our notes in stenog. Josie is a good dancer, too, and never fails to have a good time wherever she goes. Best of luck, Jo! C. H. S. will always remember you! 37 On with the dance! Let joy he unconfined ” ALICE DOROTHY HEALEY “Alas” “Al” “Frisco” Sophomore, Junior, Senior Dance Committees; Senior Show, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Mandolin Club, 3; Juuior Prom Committee; Operetta; History Play. Normal Course Favorite Occupation: Going to Hudson. Favorite Song: “That’s How I Lost Him.” Favorite Expression: “Really, I’m not kidding you.” Favorite Drink: Dwyer’s Tonic. Alice is the vamp of 1922, and we might mention that she is quite experienced. You know the kind I mean — dark, black bobbed hair, and big brown eyes. As for that she is extremely clever in every thing she does from dancing, down (or up) to studying into the wee hours of the morning and yet successfully hiding the fact. There is one thing, no matter how “us girls” try, we cannot imitate, and that is her feet! She certainly can twist them into ' almost impossible positions. We have sus- picions as to whether she is a contortionist or not. All joking aside, Al certainly is a very pretty, lively girl. She has always been, and always will be popular. Watch her at a dance, and the statement will be verified. We hear she has “de- signs on” the Follies. If so, Ann Pennington will be without a job, because Alice will rise to the highest place in whatever she attempts.

Favorite Expression: “I haven’t time.” Favorite Song: ‘‘April Showers.” Favorite drink: Orange. Who has not seen ‘‘I” on the floor in the Gym playing a fast game of basket-ball? How we held our breath when we saw her come down on another girl less strong than she! Irene surely is one of our champions when it comes to the thrilling game of basketball. Then in the classroom, what would life be without Irene? “Miserable” is the answer. Who can ever forget her in Stenogra- phy, always ready to help us over a part so hard to us, yet so easy to her. Irene is certainly a star in everything she under- takes. Irene intends to ' become a teacher when she leaves school. Don’t we envy those children, and don’t we wish we were young again? It would be like living in heaven to be instructed under her care. She certainly is one of the best natured girls in the class and her ever-ready wit always adds to the enjoyment of our classes. Wherever she goes her good nature will still continue to make her many friends, and her continual smile is sure to retain them. To you, Irene, goes the best ' luck of dear old 1 922. 39 JOSEPH HUGH JENNINGS “Joe” Debating Club; Football, 3, 4. Technical Course Favorite Occupation: Quoting Shakespeare. Favorite Expression: “Lemme see.” Favorite Song: “That’s How I Believe In You.” Favorite Drink: Iodine Joe is just another one of our wonderful class. A real scholar, a true classmate, and a willing worker, he has written his fame on our pages of history. Whether a class activity or a football game you will always And Joe there, with his ready wit, willing at all times to add his humor, so sparkling and original, to the fires of mirth. Joe startled the school by his courage and willingness on the football squad. He always tried everything once no matter what size or weight his opponent was, he was always willing to give battle. As a member of the Debating Club, Joe shared in a victory, when with a startling oratory he completely cut-pointed his worthy rivals. His ambitious nature is not be denied, and it is this quality which will bring Joe to the realization of his hopes. He has elected W. P. I. as his college, and success will come to him, we know. Farewell, Jennings, life will be one vast smile for you, and years from now you may look back with a happy heart to the days you spent under the crimson and gold. 40 u Whose armor is his honest thought ” WILLIAM ROBERT JOHNSTON “Bobbie” Track, 3 Technical Course Favorite Occupation: Walking to school. Favorite Expression: “I guess so.” Favorite Song: “Good-bye, Boys, I’m Through.” Favorite Drink: Tea. After four years of hard study that made Bobbie burn the midnight oi ' l, the class of 192 2 is honored with a graduate who it feared would be absent when the roll was called. But with perserverance and diligence he accomplished his aims and the re- sult is that he leaves with the class with which he was affiliated first. A quiet youth, who did not care for worldly pleasures, but who accustomed himself to his surroundings with startling tenac- ity, and a true classmate, sincere and faithful, he crept into the hearts of both teachers and classmates and will not be forgotten. Bobbie’s destination is Northea stern, and wherever he goes his good nature will make him many friends, and thel class of which he is a member wishes him the best of luck in every ven- ture. 41 “ Truth is always straightforward n RICHARD PAUL KILEY “Dick” “Kile” Class Pin Committee College Course Favorite Occupation: Looking wise. Favorite Expression: “Say, Kid.’’ Favorite Song: “Home Again Blues.” Favorite Drink: C2H50IT. Here’s another of our unassuming members who might be mistaken for a visitor. But when anything starts, “Dick” is there strong and is a good stayer. A continuous smile is his long suit. At times, its continuity seems to imply a lack of mentality, but we know that its use is only to counteract the sobriety of his satellite, Morrison. Of course, Dick has his failings, chief of which is an abnormal appetite for work (not)! He is the “champeen clog dancer” of his class, and never misses any class entertainment. Dick is bound to make his mark in the world, and you can safely bet that success in life surely waits for him if he contin- ues the path of honesty as he has in the past, for Kile is one of the squarest fellows the sun ever shone upon. To you, Dick, goes the same luck of ‘2 2. 42 11 Whose yesterdays look backward with a smile ' ' MILDRED FRANCIS KING “Mill” Commercial Course Favorite Occupation: Yamping chauffeurs. Favorite Expression: “Really.’ ' Favorite Song: “Then You’ll Remember Me.” Favorite Drink: Cherry smash. Millie joined our ranks in 1918 and has been pushing with us ever since. Millie is one of those people who believe in letting people know she is living. She doesn’t believe in sitting back and doing the heavy looking on. She lets herself be heard. Will we ever forget Millie breaking the spell in a quiet classroom? Too quiet for comfort you know. Then Millie would come out with something funny which would make us feel better. Outside of school hours, Millie is never wanting for a friend to take her to dances, and at socials she is a lady very much in demand. But Mill isn’t always like this — not when there are any lessons to be learned, for Millie always had a good average — or she knew why. Millie intends to be a teacher when she leaves us in June, and we know she will be a success. Best of luck, Millie, from 1922! 43 More life, and fuller, that I want” i l SANA LONG “Chew-gam” “Zaney” “Zinea” Secretary, Class, 2; Debating-Society; Women’s Club; Dramatics, 2; Senior Play; Student, 2, 3, 4; A. A. College Course Favorite Occupation: Eating. Favorite Expression: “Um!” Favorite Song: “The Sunshine of Your Smi ' le.” Favorite Drink: Chocolate soda, vanilla cream. In the first place Sana has brains. In the second she knows how to use them, and third, she’s not afraid to use them. Conse- quently she is a very clever girl — at many things. But if you think she stays in all of the time studying you’re very much mistaken for she certainly has her good times and a good big share at that. We have always suspected Zaney of being a bit of an idealist. At least, she is the sort of girl you’d imagine would have ideals. Zinea intends to go to Smith College next year and we know that she will meet with success — not only at college but in life — always. 44 “She possessed a peculiar talent of producing effect in whatever she did or said ” BERNICE SUSAN LYMAN “Bunny” Student, 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Book. Normal Course Favorite Occupation: Vamping. Favorite Expression : For cat’s sake.” Favorite Song: “After You Get What You Want, You Don’t Want It.” Favorite Drink: Coke-lime. Bunny is certainly “there.” She assuredly does possess a pe- culiar talent of producing effect in whatever she says or does. Who can imitate perfection. For indeed, Bunny, — “Smiling, frowning, evermore. Thou art perfect in love-lore.” With this accomplishment, goes its natural results — a flock of admirers — a most extensive flock. But even so, Bunny has as many real friends of one sex as of another, for is she not a mem- ber of the “gang”? Though this is an age of specialties, don’t think that Bunny has a one-track mind. To the contrary, she is most versatile and undoubtedly clever. We feel that she can ex- cell in whatever she chooses. For she can dance and sing and play and act! Doesn’t she act! She has played types from that of a spoiled “kid” to a sophisticated society woman. On which part we prefer her is a matter for controversy. As for Bunny’s future, whate’er it be, we know that it will be most delightful. For the reason, we hazard, that her philosophy, which is the key- note of her intricate personality, contains, the following lines: “We are not angels here, nor shall be.” 45 “ JVi tty, jolly and care-free , always jolly as can be” MARY FRANCES MAXWELL “Maxie” “Flossie” Captain of Basket-ba ' ll, 4 Favorite Occupation: Playing basket-ball. Favorite Expression: “Honest to goodness! Favorite Song: “Do You Ever Think of Me?” Favorite Drink: Scotch-Irish. Here, everybody, is the fastest player on the girl’s basket- ball team. “Max” certainly had a “wonderful shot” for the bas- kets, and just at the critical moment she was bound to put that ball through the net. “Flossie” is one of those charming girls in the class who are al- ways happy, and whose chief aim is to make others happy. We do not wish to give you the impression that Maxie is not serious- minded. She is. She believes in studying enough to “get by.” By looking at the class ballot, you can see that Mary has been elected the feminine athlete of 1922. Everybody has heard be- fore now that she captained the basketball team on to victory many times. Mary has taken a fancy for “Gym” this year. (We wonder why?) We ' ll, that’s telling tales out of school! Mary is to enter Posse. Maxie has every qualification for making good. She is able and willing, and, better still, she is reliable. Added to these, she has the best nature in the world which rounds out elements of success in one who has already proven herself worthy. 46 Stones will melt before his smile ' ' JOHN HENRY JOSEPH McCUE “Jack” “Fat” Class Book Editorial Staff; Sophomore Dance Committee. College Course Favorite Occupation: Walking. Favorite Expression: “Oh, Lord!” Favorite Song: “Wabash Blues.” Favorite Drink: Chocolate milk. John’s nerve and ready smile will “get him by” anywhere. Always a willing worker, he helped tremendously to uphold the standards and traditions of the class. He has a plentiful store of wit, and has made a name for himself as a walking compendium of information. On the dance floor, Fat is second to none as an exponent of the tepsichorean art. Anyway, if you frequent an up-to-date dance emporium, and cast your eye upon a bulky form wriggling in mirth and various steps, you can safely bet it is our John. Yes, John will always be a woman idolater, perhaps on account of his love for the moonlight, or maybe the depths of his Herculean arms add comfort to the thrills of his ardent “line.” In the class prophecy John is made President of the United States. Although the mark is high we still think he has the ability and power to rise to the height, for knowledge he has in plenty. John, no doubt will go forward into the world adding links of honor to his chain of glory, and will eventually, come to the heights of glory and reknown. “Here’s to you, John, from 1922.” 47 We measure men by their character , not by success ” i i RICHARD JOHN McINTYRE” “Dick” “Mack” Football, 3, 4; Debating Club; Baseball Manager, 4; President A. A., 4; Editorial Staff, Class Book. College Course Favorite Occupation: Sliding by. Favorite Expression: “Comon, get wise.” Favorite Song: “In the Old Sweet Way.” Favorite Drink: Wood alcohol. Here we have a boy with a brilliant mind, a smiling counte- nance and a warm heart. He abounds in good nature, his many friends will vouch for that. The baseball team can thank its suc- cess to the efforts of our ever-reliable Dick, who was always on the job. We won’t discuss Dick’s career as a student, but we can in- form you that he never contracted brain fever or hurt his eyes in the nerve-racking experiment of studying. Dick is prominent in athletics. His insatiable thirst for warm fresh blood has made him a valuable man on the gridiron. He is exceedingly useful in class excitements; his heart is light, he is always ready to start something, and to follow it up. Mac is one of the most upright fellows in the class and is bound to succeed in whatever walk of ' life he may take. Fare- well, Dick and may your future days be bright. 48 “Cute, Little , Pretty, Witty, Charming, Darling — She ' ’ ANNA ELIZABETH McNAMARA “Jerry” “Mac” Commercial Course Favorite Ocupation: Playing basket-ba ' ll. Favorite Expression: “Now Wait For Me.” Favorite Song: “Three o’clock in the Morning.” Favorite Drink: Coffee milk. Although Anna is one of the smallest members of our class, she is not the least inactive. Who could forget her who has once seen her in a game of basket-ball? Here, one minute, there, the next; never missing a chance of winning a point for C. H. S. In bookkeeping, Anna always held her own against any other student; and in typewriting she certainly knew how to use the typewriter, gliding over the keys at a high rate of speed. After school hours, Anna was in her glory at all our socials, and some others, too. Anna’s plans for the future havei not yet been formed, but we feel she will succeed in anything she undertakes. 49 11 1 dare do all that may become a son ” ANTHONY JOSEPH McNICHOLAS i f f Tony Commercial Course Favorite Occupation: Picking blueberries. Favorite Expression: “Cut it out.” Favorite Song: “Sweet Adeline.” Favorite Drink: Home-brew. In McNicholas, we have one of the few clever bookkeepers High School boasts of. He is one of the few fortunates who possess a keen knowledge of business and its transactions. It would seem as though studies were the least of his troubles, but his monthly marks do not come from reading the “Saturday Evening Post.” The casual observer who studied Tony for a short time would not be impressed with the analysis, but four years of his pleasant friendship has gained for him the well wishes of the entire class. Tony is due to finish a business career after le aving High School and his mark in the business world is sure to be made if his work in High School is any criterion. The Class Ballot marks Tony a woman hater. But, looks are deceitful, and we fear that soon after graduation Tony’s pleasant smile will ensnare the woman of his heart, and together they will paddle the rough sea of life. 50 To the good looking belong flic girls M EDWARD ALEXANDER MOIR “Eddie” “Ed” Football, 2, 3, 4; Baseball, 2, 3, 4; Basket-bal ' l, 2, 3, 4; Class Book Editorial Staff; Student Staff, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee. Technical Course Favorite Occupation: Lighting up. Favorite Expression: “Let’s go.” Favorite Song: “Kiss Me Again.” Favorite Drink: Egg-nogg. After years of battling on the hill of knowledge, Eddie honors the class of 192 2 with his presence at graduation. Other classes have made futi ' le claims for his membership, but we claim him as our own, and so he is. Eddie is certainly a delight to any class list. He has proved himself a thorough scholar, a marvellous athlete, and a real good fellow. Moir monopolizes the class ballot, and well he may. His talents are numerous. On the football field, he has no peer; on the diamond, he is second to none; and on the basket-ball court, he has no equal. To be perfectly frank, it would take a volume to write his accomplishments and so we shall leave him be, the same, modest, daring, willing Moir. Eddie has chosen Brown as his college, and in years to come, mark us, you will see this same versatile fellow gathering more fame, just as in days of yore, for his ability and personality will bring him to unparalled heights. Your future, lies before you, Ed, you have but to keep on go- ing. Au revoir, and the best of luck. 51 “A true and brave and downright honest man ” THOMAS CHARLES MORRISON “Tommie” Debating Club; Baseball, 4 College Course Favorite Occupation: Playing ball. Favorite Expression: “Where do you get that stuff?” FavorPe Song: “Mandy Lee.” Favorite Drink: Vanilla mi ' lk. Tommie started four years ago with us in our Freshman year only to leave us for a Greater Boston High School. Two years have passed without him, but Fate sent him back to his old home town and allowed him to graduate with us. Tommie is a veritable shark, and what he doesn’t know about Latin can be written on the back of a postage stamp, and then there would be room to write the history of the United States. Tommie is one of the foremost members of the Debating Club, and has shown his worth as a dispenser of oratory. On the ball field Tommie developed into a crackerjack short- stop, and his timely hits, and all around playing added much to keep Clinton on the winning end. Tommie’s real worth in life is still an unknown quantity. We think he has the making of a chemist. Time will tell, but we are quite sure nothing but good fortune will come to this bright, in- telligent youth. Time will see his name on Holy Cross’ class list and we know he will give a good account of himself, 52 u He saith an undisputeth thing in such a solemn waif 1 THOMAS FRANCIS MORRISON “Tom” “T. J.” College Course Favorite Occupation: Giving Kiley the razz. Favorite Expression: “More sad stuff.” Favorite song: “I’m Sorry I Made You Cry.” Favorite Drink: Lemon soda. Tom is such an unusual youth that we are at a total loss where to commence, to say nothing of where to leave off. Be- ing, as a rule, a quiet fellow, one would naturally infer that there occurs every night at his house a veritable battle of books. But we who know him, fully realize that he did not acquire glasses from overstudy. T. J. is always on hand at our class affairs, and is ever-ready to work toward any success which the class might attempt to ac- complish. You would be able to distinguish Morrison from a group, because of his soberness, sincerity, and his rough laugh. He generally knows what’s doing, and always has a new one to spring. He is sure to find his ambitions realized, for his earnestness will create means of success, and his unselfishness will carry him to the topmost pinnacle. Where he is bound for we do not know, but whatever college he attends, he is sure to make his name. Good luck, T. J. 63 ' ‘As rare as a day in June ' ' 1 GORDON NEEDHAM “Needo” Football, 2, 3, 4; Track, 2, 3, 4; Captain Track, 3, 4; Dramatics, 1, 4; Senior Show; Junior Dance Committee; Business Staff, Class Book; Student Staff, 3, 4. Technical Course Favorite Occupation: Playing Poker. Favorite Expression: “Jake.” Favorite Song: “Annie Laurie.” Favorite Drink: Chocolate Soda. Needham is one of the class celebrities. On the football field, he is a shining light, for if a yard is “needed” you can rely on Needo. What we mean, he’s there. Although Needo shines on the gridiron, his specialty is track. Oh, yes indeed, we generally see the color of his heels when running opposite him. Added to these accomplishments, he has a very “well trained voice,” which, on a foggy day, sounds like a steam calliope in a circus parade, only louder, if that is possible. To some of the teachers, and to ' many of our classmates, Needo appears carefree, careless, and independable, but those of us who know him, wonder at his earnestness, admire his ability, and envy his accomplishments. Needo intends to enter Brown in the fall to study engineering. We know he will give a good account of himself in whatever walk of life he enters, for his aggressiveness will carry him to the top. Here’s wishing him all the luck in the world. 54 “A countenance in which did meet Sweet Records , promises as street ” BERRIS ELSIE NICHOLS “Necco” “Nec” Commercial Course Favorite Occupation: To “Teach-out.” Favorite Expression: “Gosh.” Favorite Song: “When Shall We Meet Again?” Favorite Drink: Coffee frappe float. Necco is a very clever girl in everything she does because she sticks to a thing until it is done and done well. She has al- ways been very popular, and her friendship is a thing to treasure. She has had always the reputation of being the best dressed girl in the class and she certainly deserves it. Any hot sultry day wi ' ll find Berris breezing along looking pretty and cool, and we all sit up and think perhaps life’s worth living after all. She certainly is one reason why 19 22 was a success and wher- ever she goes she will always make many friends. Good luck, Berris, the luck of ’2 2 goes with you. 55 Good without effort , great without fault ” HERMAN NEUBAUER “Honey “Honus” Track, 2, 3, 4; Baseball, 3, 4; Basket-ball, 4; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4. Technical Course Favorite Occupation: Shooting free-tries. Favorite Expression: “Yah!” Favorite Song: “Silent Night.” Favorite Drink: Near-beer. “Ladies and gentlemen, we have the honor of having with us this evening, a man of vast education and enlightment; who, while at Clinton High gained all scholastic honors; received his degree at Worcester Tech, and later obtained degrees at both Yale and Columbia. We are extremely fortunate to have this gentleman address us on the subject, “Radio Activity Among Commercial Establishments.” Without further introduction, I take great pleasure, in presenting Professor Herman Neubauer.” (Terriffic applause.) It won’t be many years before we hear an introductory speech similar to this one. “Honey” has certainly shown us that he has a multitude of brains, and ability to use them, and this quiet youth is certainly bound to make his way in the world. Many of us think he does his homework while the teacher is giving out the assignment. Honey is by no means a grind; he is a real fellow, and an athlete of no mean ability. He was a star third baseman of the baseball team and a flashy forward on the bas- ket-ball court. Honus is bound for Worcester Tech. There is no doubt of the outcome, the only question is, “How high do they mark?” 56 “ Her path shall brighten more and more, unto the perfect day” MAYBELLE BERTHA NOEL “May” “Poon” “Mabel” Commercial Course Favorite Occupation: Filing nails. Favorite Expression: “Those eyes! Those teeth!” Favorite Song: “In the Shade, of the Old Apple Tree.” Favorite Drink: Chocolate soda. May breezed in from Worcester two years ago with all that city’s pep without the noise. Evidence of her pep was shown when she was quietly but firmly ejected from bookkeeping. We bet she was telling jokes. We might have said her favorite ex- pression was “Didja hear this one?” because her little corner is always brightened by her “springin’ em.” We’re sure her His- tory recitations would place her at the head of the class if we could only hear them (or understand them). Poon is one of the peaches and cream variety. You know, blonde hair, blue eyes, pink cheeks and — pleasingly plump. She certainly is a very pretty girl. Perhaps you’ve noticed her favor- ite song. The one, however, that she’s going to hear until she knows it like the alphabet is “I Don’t Want to Get Well,” for Mabel is going to be a nurse. Lucky patients! But, she’ll have to cut out those occasional visits to Springfield or Worcester. The best wishes of ’2 2 go with you, Mabel. 57 “Wisdom he has and to his wisdom courage ” FRANCIS JOSEPH NUGENT “Nugie” College Course Favorite Occupation: Talking Sports. Favorite Expression: “Whaddyamean.” Favorite Song: “My Little Rambling Rose.” Favorite Drink: Birch Beer. I doubt if many know of this conscientous youth. Modest, and bright, and with a strict regard for education, Nugie has made more than a favorable, impression on the teachers of our beloved High School during his stay of four years. His presence is hardly obvious, unless a good joke is in order, and then you will hear a laugh that would shake a house down. He seldom fails to give his version of any subject under discussion, in his typical style, and always is ready to talk if the conversation drifts at all toward college activities. If you wished to know what the captain of Holy Cross hit for in 1898, Nugie. would be able to tell you. Nugie is a booster for Holy Cross, and all statistics show that that is where he is bound. We feel sure that Frank’s record and popularity here will be continued there. At least we are sure that he will make a name for himself as a student if he enters Holy Cross. Good luck, Nugie, may your future be bright and your happi- ness complete. 58 “ Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die ' ' ' GERTRUDE JOSEPHINE O’CONNELL “Gert” “Blondie” “Sweetie” Commercial Course Favorite Occupation: Working in the V. X. Favorite Expression: “Come on.” Favorite Song: “Dapper Dan.” Favorite Drink: Sarsaparilla. Gerty came in September, 1918, with a smile on her face — and she is still smiling. Nothing bothers Gert. The hardest exam, the crossest teacher, or the quarterly report — “Life is too short to worry” is Blondie’s motto. We wish we could be as carefree as Blondie. But that does not mean that she doesn’t study, Gert does study, and goes at it hard. She is the type that can do it and then go out and enjoy life. Gert is romantically inclined, too; at least, we draw that con- clusion from the tales she relates of the nocturnal happenings. Gert intends to be someone’s neat little bookkeeper and she has the best wishes of C. H. S. to follow her. 59 11 Knowledge is power ” ALMA ELIZABETH O’TOOLE “Lizzie” Junior Prom College Course Favorite Occupation: Bathing. Favorite Expression: “My Word!” Favorite Song: “Rose of Washington Square.” Favorite Drink: Ginger a ' le. The same tide that brings so many of us within the walls of Clinton High, brought one who was forever to stand out in our memory. Who could possibly forget Lizzie at the times when she was feeling funny? Elizabeth shone like a star at all the social affairs of the school and at quite a few that didn’t pertain to school. Her ac- counts of her stay at the beach last summer were certainly great. She was the vamp of the beach. With high ambition, and an earnest effort that is the key- note of her personality, she has spent her time getting the most out of her school days. As she goes out to future work, she can look for every sucecss, and in all future efforts she will have the best wishes of a class to which she has been a friend as well as a hard worker. 60 11 The power of thought, the magic of the mind ” MARY CATHERINE O’TOOLE “Katrinka” “Katrina” Student, 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom; Dramatics, 1, 4; Glee Club; Mandolin Club. Normal Course Favorite Occupation: Studying. Favorite Expression: “Oh, gee!” Favorite Song: “Santa Lucia.” Favorite Drink: Orangeade. We all know Catherine without giving her biography here. She was one of those few fortunate girls who always came to the front in anything she undertook. Just getting through a subject would not do for her. She studied deeply, and, as a result, al- ways knew her lessons when some of us did not. Wherever Catherine was, it was a fortunate class, for her recitations were always lengthy and quite perfect. As we have said, Catherine was a shining light in the class- room. The same is quite true about her regarding outside af- fairs, for she always graced our social occasions and took an ac- tive interest and part in dramatics. Catherine’s destination is normal school, and surely, if her success as a teacher is measured by the high rank she has at- tained as a student in high school, our class of 192 2 will be proud to claim her as a member. 61 “ Glib of tongue and tight of heart” MARY ELIZABETH O’TOOLE “Mae” Commercial Course Student Staff, 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom. Favorite Occupation: Star gazing. Favorite Expression: “Heavings!” Favorite Song: “The Sheik.” Favorite Drink: Orange juice. Mae was one of our original thinkers; that is, text books did not worry her in the least. All information for recitations, she garnered from her own brain. Therefore, the class enjoyed hear- ing Mae recite, for she w r as sure to have something different to say. Remember the controversy she had in English over pre- destination! Mae firmly declared: “What’s going to 1 happen, will happen.” We are rather inclined to think of Mae as being a shark; re- gardless of the fact that she did not carry books home; for who could ever bluff the way she did unless she were gifted? After school hours, Mae v r as a most entertaining and jolly good pal; her marvellous recounts of “the night before” always drew an appreciative audience. She surely did have a good time wherever she vent — for she made friends on all sides. Mae has chosen as her vocation that of private secretary to some millionaire globe-trotter. For her one ambition in life is to travel and see the world. She has the best wishes of the class that she may succeed in her chosen career, and we are assured that wherever she goes she will bring honor to ' C. H.

Commercial Course Favorite Occupation; Chalking up. Favorite Expression; “I’m not worrying.” Favorite Song; “The Rose, My Love, and You.” Favorite Drink: Milk. Bean is one of the class luminaries. We all believe that our president is the most conscientious, the most willing worker, the best fellow who graduated from Clinton High. There are few things which he cannot do. Not satisfied with making an enviable record in his studies, and attending to presi- dential duties, he entered all branches of sport, became a modern “Beckman” on the basket-ball court, and on the stage he made “David Garrick” look like a back number. Beansie plans to enter Fitchburg Normal in the fall. Wher- ever he goes, his path will be strewn with roses, and he is bound to attain success. His rare personality and sunny disposition will undoubtedly bring him to the topmost rung of t he ladder, where he can look back with fond memories to ' the school which gave him his chance and the class to which it was an honor to be- long. Farewell, old boy, and if hopes and wishes will help you, you have won, for 192 2 will not forget you. 63 ‘ 4 The glass of fashion and the mould of form , the observed of all observers ” ALTA JOSEPHINE PARKER “Dimples” “Blondie” Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Staff, 2, 3, 4. Favorite Occupation: Sewing-. Favorite Expression: “Just as you say.” Favorite Song: “I Never Knew.” Favorite Drink: Strawberry Milk. Alta was the most dignified member of our class. Never in her four years in High School, has she indulged in any prank that brought as its penalty the p. m. session. Everything Alta said and did we took for granted to be right. For to our eyes, she was quite the model of perfection. During recess we would find Alta indulging in her favorite pastime, crocheting or embroidering (for her hope chest, of course). Surely she must have filled more than one. Let it be said that A ' lta never neglected the social whirl for such occupation as embroidering. Anyone watching her smiling to herself in History class would naturally come to the conclu- sion that she had been having a royal good time “last night.” But she always kept those interesting affairs to herself, she never did condescend to tell us of her social activities. We have not been informed as to Alta’s plans for the future, but we are rather inclined to believe that it is quite determined. 64 u Silence is a virtue ” HARRY CHARLES PIENERT “Harry” Technical Course Favorite Occupation: Studying Chemistry. Favorite Expression: “Gosh.” Favorite Song: “Old Black Joe.” Favorite Drink: Schlitz. Harry’s sober mien would lead one to believe that he was out of sympathy with his environment and longing to experiment in to depths of Chemistry with his pals. But this impression is quickly dispelled when his inner nature is fathomed. Harry has the energy of a young colt, but succeeds in keeping it within reasonable bounds of restraint, with the possible exception of starring in advanced mathematics. Harry wins the honor of being the quietest and most practi- cal member of our class, and he wins by a comfortable margin. He worked for the interests of the class at all times and would be an asset to any class list. The fairer sex of the class will never forget him because of his shy blush whenever he was ap- proached. W. P. I. will claim Peinert and future days will spe ' ll success for him, if he continues his faithfulness toward his studies, and of that there is little doubt. Au revoir, Peinert, and the best of luck. 65 ‘ ' Merry as the day is long ” MARTHA PATRICIA PHILBIN “Pat” “Artha” Glee Club, 1. Favorite Occupation: Debating.

No matter whether the joke is on herse ' lf or another, she enjoys it very much. She sometimes partakes of the fun just at the wrong time — - in class, for instance. Then she has to report at late P. M., with many other like herself. Will we ever forget in our Freshman year when Martha de- bated on Woman Suffrage! She really was convincing, and her arguments were so forceful that many were converted to her side. Chemistry is one of Martha’s specialties, and her high stan- dard of success in this line is but an indication of the marked efficiency which is characteristic of her in all branches. Martha’s efforts were faithfully rewarded when marks came out, too. As parting time comes, we are all wondering what she will do without her companion, Maxie. Wherever she goes, we feel that she will reach the top of the ladder. 66 11 A politician— one that would circumvent the gods ” AUSTIN ANTHONY JOSEPH PHILBXN “Aust” Debating Club College Course Favorite Occupation: Digging potatoes. Favorite Expression: “Gee.” Favorite Song: “My Wild Irish Rose.” Favorite Drink: Buttermilk. Here’s another one of our true blue classmates. If you want an example done, or the translation, you will be amply rewarded if you seek and find Aust. If he can’t give you the required in- formation, then the question is improbable, or you have inter- preted it wrong. No one suspects him of being an athlete, an orator, and a deep student. But, we who have watched him dur- ing physical exercise, listen to his wonderful “line,” and received aid from his brilliant mind realize he is all three and then some. As an orator, Philbin displayed his vast knowledge of educa- tion at the only debate he participated in. Danie ' l Webster would have frowned with jealousy, had he heard the flowery elo- quence drop from Philbin’s lips. His nature is one of rareness, and he has made many friends because of his willingness to help a weary brother. Phil- bin will make good in this world, and if he follows the example and principle of that great man he so much resembles, we need have no fear for his success in the future. 67 “A willing mind makes a hard journey easy ” BERTHA EMILY RUEGER “Beezi” “Bee” Commercial Course Favorite Occupation: Attending conventions. Favorite Expression: “Oh, bubbles.” Favorite Song: “Tell Me, Little Gypsy.” Favorite Drink: Chocolate soda. Bertha was one of our business sharks. Her bookkeeping was always up to ' schedule, and in shorthand, she could transcribe her own notes without prompting from any of us, regardless of the rate of speed. Then, too, she was a most obliging girl, always willing to help us when we got tangled up in a maze of figures, or when we could not read our own shorthand notes. Although she was one of those girls who never gave a teacher any annoyance in regard to her conduct, outside of school she never failed to appreciate the funny side of a situation; nor did we ever fail to see the joke when she told us a few of her own supply of funny stories. Regarding those conventions (?) in Bos- ton, we thought her reports of them were far too interesting to make us believe that the convention was the main object of her visit. Bertha has not quite decided as to the future. It is a draw between normal school and the business world. But whichever course she decides upon, we know she will be successful. Good luck, Bertha, from 1922! 68 “ Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind ELIZABETH SAUNDERS Dramatics, 1, 2, 4; Senior Play; Women’s Club; Student, 1, 2, 3, 4; Editorial Staff, Class Book; A. A.; Debating Club. College Course Favorite Occupation: Climbing mountains. Favorite Expression: “My.” Favorite Song: “After All is Said and Done.” Favorite Drink: Lime freeze. To start with, Elizabeth is certainly a shark in all her studies, and we by no means end here. She is quite an athlete, and can she act? You might as well ask: “Can a duck swim?” Elizabeth made her debut on the stage her Freshman year, and she has been acting ever snce. We have only seen her in one part — that of an old maid, and as the saying goes — “she can’t be beat.” Elizabeth has a quiet straight-forwardness about her and one feels that her friendship would be a lasting and valuable asset. She is a girl of high ideals and determination, and we know that which ever path she picks out in life will lead her to success and happiness. 69 “An honest man’s the noblest work of God n JAMES FULLERTON SHAW, JR. “Buff” “Jim” “Cap” Football, 2, 3, 4; Dramatics, 3, 4; Senior Show; Junior Dance Committee; Student Staff, 4; Business Manager, Class Book. Technical Course Favorite Occupation: Eating apple pie. Favorite Expression: “What’s doing.” Favarite Song: “The Little House Upon the Hill.” Favorite Drink: Schnapps. Could we but employ gestures and the spoken word to do this man justice! “Mollycoddle” is the last word to apply to Buff and “gentleman” is one of the first. He is certainly an asset to our class list and without him 192 2 would not be the success it is. His efforts as business manager of the Class Book were the main reason for the success of the book, and to Buff we are all thankful. On the gridiron, Buff had the energy of a young colt and was willing at all times to ' sacrifice all for the sweetness of victory. He was the mainstay on the line, and suffered an injury that he will carry with him for the rest of his days. Buff has his peculiarities and weaknesses, among them being the insatiable thirst for the “weed.” On any occasion, you may find him loading his pipe or calmly partaking of the sweet essence of cigarette smoke. Buff is due at Norwich in the fall and if he continues his record as he did in high school we have no fear for his success. Farewell, Shaw, and the best of luck. 70 li l saw her upon a nearer view , A Spirit , yet a iron an too!” CATHERINE CECILIA SULLIVAN “Trina” “Clara” Commercial Course Favorite Occupation: Corresponding. Favorite Expression: “Wait a minute.” Favorite Song: “Love Ship.” Favorite Drink: Sarsaparilla. Trina and Millie Gannon — it is difficult to mention one with- out the other. They were twins — yes, in some respects; for wherever one was, the other was; always working and playing to- gether — those two. Clara was the blonde twin; and like some other lively b ' londes was sure to be up to some mischief. But it was harmless fun, let us assure you. Clara and Millie worked (?) in the V and X two nights a week. The other nights, they spent in planning for the future. Trina’s plans, you may be sure, are pretty big for such a small girl. She te ' lls us she wants to undertake the management of the Clinton branch of Woolworth and Company. Well, here’s tO ' you, Trina! Good luck! 71 “ Better late than never ” MARGARET CATHERINE SULLIVAN “Peggy” “Sully” Favorite Occupation: Looking for excuses. Favorite Expression: “We’re not late?” Favorite Song: “Why, Dear?” Favorite Drink: H20. During our ' four years at Clinton High we have met many acquaintances, but when we think of Sully ,our minds are re- freshed by pleasant memories. She was one of the first we met when we were Freshmen. Her pleasing personality appealed to both teachers and students. Who will ever forget her cheerful disposition? No one. Sully is one of those rare girls who can always be depended upon to do a kind turn for anyone, and with a spirit full of vim. Peggy goes to Worcester every Friday for a music lesson; at least that is what she tells us. We don’t believe it. In later years, we shall see her rivaling Beethoven. When our thoughts return to happier days, our acquantance with Sully wi ' ll bring a wish that we could live them again. 11 The gentleness of her tones would pierce a heart of stone ANNA TERESA TONER “Dutchie” Commercial Course Favorite Occupation: Chaperoning. Favorite Expression: “Oh, Dear!” Favorite Song: “Stolen Kisses.” Favorite Drink: Lemon and lime. Anna was one of those quiet girls in the class who never did figure in any cutting up. But she did attract attention when she got up to recite, for she posssessed a very soft voice, and in order to hear what she had to say, the whole class sat up and paid at- tention. Although she was a quiet little girl in school, she was quite the contrary out of school. Being Mae’s pal and “official chap- eron” on their nights off, it can be said that neither of the two found life very dull when they went off to forget the worries and cares of school. As to Anna’s future, she is quite undecided. But we wish her success in whichever profession she decides. 73 U I heard of the lady, and good words went icith her name ) 1 ALICE CATHERINE TOOLE “Toolie” Student Staff, 1, 2, 3, 4; Editorial Staff. Favorite Occupation: Telling stories. Favorite Expression: “Tell me something.” Favorite Song: “Ain’t We Got Fun?” Favorite Drink: Orangeade. They who have heard Alice tell some of her weird stories certainly enjoyed them. If you happened to be one of the “lucky” ones to get to school a few minutes early, you would be greatly repaid, for her supply of narratives never seemed to run “low.” But now you mustn’t think Alice spends her time thinking of the stories she is to tell. She doesn’t. She tells them one after another so fast that she has you puzzled as to where she ever “got” the half of them. Toolie is the shark of the business department. When we hear Miss Toole called on to recite, we have no fear; for we know she will glide over all of the lesson without a stutter. One mustn’t think that she spends all her time studying, for lessons, come as easy to Alice as a popular song would come to some of us. She enjoys a joke quite as much as anyone. Alice also likes to ' play jokes on other people. Ask Mae. As parting time comes near, and we are all to turn on dif- ferent paths, we begin to wonder what life will be without Alice. Alice’s ambition and ability to do things will bring her success in whatever she undertakes. As private secretary, we know she will win fame. “Fair teas she to behold, a maiden of seventeen summers ” MARGUERITE FRANCES WARD “Margie” “Rita” Commercial Course Favorite Occupation: Demonstrating. Favorite Expression: “Forget It.” Favorite Song: “I’m Nobody’s Baby.” Favorike Drink: Milk shake. Marguerite was one of our pink and white blondes. Her com- plexion was the envy of some of us who were not so fortunately endowed by nature. As Marguerite was very pleasing to look upon, so was she pleasant as a friend. In the class room, she was seldom known to be unprepared; for Marguerite was a very business-like girl who believed in be- ing thorough. Besides keeping up a good record in school, she was quite successful as a cashier on High Street. Business, you see, comes as a second nature to- her. One must not think she let her daily duties interfere with pleasure. Oh, no! she was always right there when a good time was to be had, especially at those B. P. O. C. affairs. Thus far, the business ' life appears to be that which she in- tends to continue. Whether she goes to business school, or en- ters directly into active life, we know she will be successful. 75 “Smiling Through n JULIA MARY WALSH “Judy” “Julie” Commercial Course Favorite Occupation: Yamping salesmen. Favorite Expression: “What.” Favorite Song: “Whispering.” Favorite Drink: Strawberry soda. Julie is another of our members who doesn’t believe in frown- ing. She has a smile for everyone. After taking a look at Julia’s favorite occupation, one can tell easily she is not to be outdone by any other girl, and is a fav- orite with all the male members of the class (a few outsiders, too). In the classroom Judy surely is a good worker and never leaves anything undone, but school is not Julie’s only thought, for she is always busy working after school hours. At all our dances, Judy was very much in demand, and she is very popular in outside social affairs also. Julia intends to be some business man’s private secretary. We feel confident she will win success in whatever she undertakes. 76 “J maiden of our century , yet most meek ” AMY FRANCES WRIGHT Normal Course Favorite Occupation: Driving a horse. Favorite Expression: “Nifty.” Favorite Song: “Memories of Home.” Favorite Drink: Chocolate milk shake. Amy’s favorite nick-name is Amiable and that most truly describes her. Amy has what the world calls a friendly soul and has the happy faculty of making no enemies. She has been one of the few of our class to spend a summer at a girl’s camp where she enjoyed herself immensely. As for her scholastic standing, we must refer you to an episode in the chemistry class. Did not our learned principal himself remark that he was glad that some- one in the class had brains? Amy loves children dearly, and if her life is spent along that line, we cannot doubt her happiness. Normal school is Amy’s destination and we know she will give a good account of herself in any walk of life she may enter. A true classmate, kind hearted and with a genial nature, the best luck of 1922 goes with her. 77 “ The greatest iron an is she who chooses the right with invincible resoiution” DOROTHEA KATHERINE ZOLL “Dot” “Dizzy” Glee Club, 2, 3, 4; Mandolin Club, 3; Editorial Staff. Commercial Course Favorite Ocupation: Sitting in the hammock. Favorite Expression: “Make it fast.” Favorite Song: “Just a Song at Twilight.” Favorite Drink: Coffee ice-cream soda. The expression, “Good things come in small packages,” was sure ' ly contradicted when Dot gained our ranks four years ago. She is one of the tallest girls in our class and, also, one of the best natured. As a student in the commercial branch, she ranked as one of its best. Typewriting is her specialty. We have often marvelled at her skill as her fingers flew over the keyboard at an amazing rate of speed. Dot was a very busy girl out of school hours. She was a music teacher of no mean ability judging from the number of her pupils and the results of her teaching. Dot says, in regards to her future, it is the business life that interests her the most. We do hope that all honors and good for- tune shall attend her in her chosen profession. 78 “She teas a phantom of delight , When first I gazed upon her sight ' ' EILEEN MARY DUGGAN Glee Club; Class Pin Committee. Favorite Occupation: Strolling out the State Road. Favorite Expression: “Holy Moses.” Favorite Song: “All That I Need is You, Dear.” Favorite Drink: Chocolate soda. This is our o ' ld friend Eileen. Eileen was with us until this year, but now that she has left us to ' our deep regret we feel that our book would not be complete without saying something of Eileen. She has gone to Post’s Business College, and we know she will be a success there. She certainly was one of our most popular gilds of the class and at a dance she never could think of sitting out one, and she was always ready to have the best time she could make. Eileen was a true blue basket-ball and football fan and never missed a game, especially the football games. We still wonder what the attraction was, but it is safe to bet it was something pretty nice. We all wish her the best of luck and our only sorrow is that she cannot graduate with us. However, we will always remem- ber her for her cheery laugh and happy attitude. To you also, Eileen, goes the best of luck. 79 A LAST FAREWELL The flowers are blooming in radiant splendor and the birds are warbling sweetly. The sun is shining in its glory, and the world, so vague and mysterious, moves on wrapped in the arms of peace. The wonderfulness of everything holds us spellbound. As we are passing from the school we luved so dearly into the world of chance, we cannot but stop a moment to consider and realize the fraternity which banded us to re- ceive our education together, to sip from the same cup of knowledge, to be raised upon the same hill, and to be fed by the same hand. It seems a pity that we must part when maturity comes, and to wander into various paths of en- deavor. Such is the way of the world. The friendships which have been molded into bands of steel must be broken by the process of separation. We realize that there is a divinity which shapes our ends, and sadly we take the current as it serves. Loneliness creeps into our hearts as we make ready to say good-bye, and the feeling which cannot be expressed in mere words speaks to us loudly in its silence. Remember, dear classmates, each and every one has bound themselves to the chains of friendship. Should the ever-lurking hand of Fate cause one to falter when carrying on the work of life, the spirit of every true heart of 1922 is his when occasion demands it. May the path of each and every classmate be lighted by the flame of righteousness and virtue and should, per- chance, the world cast its shadow upon you, bear your bur- den with a light heart, and fight your battles with the spirit of ’22. Give your best to the world, and when your call comes to walk the never-ceasing trail to the unknown shade, you can bid good-bye to the world with a firm knowledge that you fought a good fight, so you can accept your Fate ; you can lie down to peaceful slumber. 80 FRESHMAN YEAR Destined to mark an epoch in the fair pages of Clinton High School ' s history, the class of 1922 — outnumbering any previous registration — was ushered inside the walls of high school with a warm welcome and a gladsome smile of ap- proval. That same nervousness which comes to the amateur when making his initial debut, gripped us also. Being un familiar with the various rooms and teachers, we were the cause of much laughter to our supposed superiors and no little embarrassment to ourselves. Time naturally brings results, and it was not long before we were able to go through the routine of school life with a marked efficiency, and we soon gained the respect of “said supposed super- iors.” At a spirited meeting, Austin J. O’Toole was elected President; Gertrude Burke, Vice-President; Eva Simpson, Secretary, and Paul Kittredge, Treasurer. With the above leaders, the class started on its glorious stay of four long yea.rs. At the very beginning of our sojourn, we threw a bomb- shell into the camps of the three upper classes by winning the Inter-Class Basketball Championship. Predicted to be no opposition, the class team, in a rather astonishing man- ner, romped away with eight victories and suffered no de- feat. It was our first attempt, and, making the remarkable showing that we did, we naturally felt elated. In the Inter-Class Dramatics, the Freshmen were repre- sented by “The Paper Match,” a farce which ranked second. Once more we felt a keen delight, for it was our first at-, tempt toward fame by means of the foot-lights. Our picnic was the only other class activity, and ended our first wonderful year. The same spirit of ’22 prevailed, and, needless to say, it was an overwhelming success. Reluctantly, we parted in June, with the firm resolve, to bring more honor to 1922 in our remaining years of high school. It was with this resolution that we entered upon M. WWW 81 SOPHOMORE YEAR Under the guidance of Austin J. O’Toole, President; Gertrude Burke, Vice-President; Eva Simpson, Secretary; I rancis I reel, Treasurer, we started our second year as members of Clinton High School. Another city claimed our worthy secretary, and Sana Long was elected to that office. At our first meeting, the class chose its insignia, with the colors, crimson •and gold. The taste of the class was re- warded, for, in a few weeks, we were able to dazzle the eyes of the school with our class rings in an unusual design. Our second year in High School is one which goes down in the annals of class and school history. Our successful c shman eai was looked upon as an •accident by our jeal- ous rivals, but when more links were added to the chain of glory, it brought to many the sudden realization that it was not an accident — that here was a class which meant to carve its numerals in the school hall of fame. Our Sophomore Dance was a decided success. It will be interesting to note that the class possesses an unusual amount of various “attractions,” ( a little deep thought will “get” this one) “attractions,” which when displayed at our socials, draw, very mysteriously, by some magnetic power, a charming gathering. The Inter-Class Dramatics added new laurels to the al- ready bedecked altar. Four cracker jack performances were produced, but, when the last curtain had been lowered, “Peter,” the Sophomore entry, coached by Mr. Gordon, had won by the veritable city block. June brought the Inter-Class Track Meet, and once again 1922 displayed her superiority. Although outweighed by the upper classes, the same fighting spirit of ’22 swept aside all obstacles, and when the last gun had been fired, the redoubtable courage and the earnest efforts of the team, brought victory to ’22, and with it, the silver loving cup which now reposes with our other trophies. Once again our class picnic closed our activities. Were they closed with gloom or joy? — Well, just inquire of any- one who was fortnuate enough to go! We would tell you the whole story but space and reasons too numerous to men- tion, forbid us. Vacation time parts us, and two rapid months find us in •] � v •St ’St •St w w vy w w 82 JUNIOR YEAR With a slight change in class officers,— Janice Allardice being made secretary, — and with a decided cut in our ranks, due to claims of the other classes, departure and high wages, we started our third glorious year. Although our membership had been lessened, the same burning spirit still lived in the hearts of the remaining classmates, and we held high hopes for another banner year. The junior dance gave us ample reason to believe that our hopes would be realized, for from every standpoint it was a decided success. It was just another of our wonderful times. Our same “mysterious attractions” were there, and our treasury was accordingly reimbursed. At the Inter-Class Dramatics, we were given a set-back when the Freshmen, our sister class, conquered us by the narrow margin of a point. Although defeated, we took the loss lightly, congratulating our sister class for its fine work, and wishing them the best of luck in the future. Summer w a.s in its glory when we held our third annual picnic. The day dawned brightly, and as the sun dropped behind the grav clouds, our revelry was at its highest point. Wh en the shades of night had been completely lowered, one more red letter day had painted itself on our records. It would necessitate volumes to tell the story, but frankly it was a “ripper.” Oh, we ARE a wonderful class! And then ! The banner event of the season, The Prom — our never-to-be-forgotten Prom. A gorgeous affair, exclu- sive with novelties, abounding in good fellowship, replete with merriment, dazzling in splendor, scintillating in all its glory. It easily outclassed all predecessors, and will prob- ably never be duplicated. The hand of time moves slowly yet surely, and again the best of friends must part, so we say good-bye and vacation ensues. Two months of rest, and we assume a high dignity as we enter upon our 83 SENIOR YEAR Once more we entered and took possession, for the last and greatest time. Seniors, dignified and conservative, the exemplification of well-mannered beings! We were able, lor the first time in the history of the class to occupy the same room. Realizing we were now the model for the lesser satellites, we laid aside the cloak of foolishness and assumed a superior attitude. At our first class meeting, all the officers were re-elected and the vacancy of the treasurer’s office was filled by the election of Horace Altman to that important office. Our Senior dance was the usual success, socially and fi- imncially. Without a doubt the class possessed some hidden formula for the making of a good time. In the four years of our high school career, every social was a complete suc- cess, which is only one more link in our chain of honor. The Senior show, “And Home Came Ted,” played to a full house the night after Christmas. With no exceptions it was considered the best production ever offered by a high school class or individuals. Coached to the minute, by our always reliable “Doc,” it took the audience by storm. It was just another of our many triumph 0 . With thoughts bent on settling down to good solid study in order to prepare ourselves for future days, our resolutions were shattered by thoughts of graduation and what it meant. Days passed swiftly. Graduation drew nigh — we must pre- pare to abandon our citadel. The very walls seemed to bid us a sad good-bye. Already, we were realizing the happy days we had spent, which could be no more, except in fond mem- ories. Our teachers appeared as the real friends they are, not as our natural enemies. Time will not wait and the Class of 1922 with joy and sadness in their hearts must pre- pare to leave. The whirl of commencement activities left us, breathless awaiting the long-awaited day, that never-to- be-forgotten day, which would go down in the pages of his- tory, the day we h ad a fond farewell to dear old Clinton High School. 84 Our Dramatics 85 CAST OF “THE PAPER MATCH” 86 “THE PAPER MATCH” H. J. Brown Gordon Needham Rose Catherine O’Toole Sam Hunt Austin J. O’Toole Aunt Sophrony Elizabeth Saunders Rose, a young girl of seventeen, corresponds with H. J. Brown, who at this time, is a member of the army. She be- lieves, though she has never seen him, that he is her ideal, for his wonderful letters thrill her, and she can’t wait to see the apple of her eye. Sam Hunt, a young lover, who had fared well up to the time of H. J. Brown’s letter writing, is now cast aside by Rose, who awaits the coming of TI. J. Brown. His wonderful letters continue, but he never signs his full name, which is the cause of no little worry to Rose, who is hoping it will be a real nice name. Time rolls on to the day of his coming, and Rose pre pares herself for the meeting. A knock is heard at the door, and Rose, joyous and anxious, admits a big, tall, uncouth shabby-looking person who turns out to be her supposed lover, Hezikal Jehoshephat Brown. He makes his appeal to her, and asks that they be mar- ried immediately. Naturally, Rose is opposed to this, and is sorry for her sad mistake. He tells her he wrote the letters from a book and that he has come to claim her. Sam Hunt appears on the scene and recognizes Brown as an old friend. By a compromise, Brown wins the hand of Aunt Sophrony, the aunt of Rose, and Sam forgives Rose for the wrong she has done him and accepts her as in the days past. The affair is eventually settled, and all parties agree that, even though the letter writing had its complications, it still bore its fruit. 87 CAST OF “PETER” 88 “PETER Charlie, a burglar Austin J. O’Toole Jennie Sana Long Miss Eastman Elizabeth Saunders Charlie, a burglar, is apprehended burglarizing a house by Jennie, the niece of Miss Eastman, who is a lover of cats, and who has made her home a veritable cat farm. Jennie learns that Charlie intended to steal “Peter,” the pride of the family cats, and upon realizing this, she treats him well on condition he takes the cat and never returns. Charlie becomes intoxicated, and wakes Miss Eastman, who, when Jennie states he is an old friend, is not favorably impressed. During the conversation, Charlie states his pro- fession as a cat expert, much to Jennie’s horror and to the Aunt’s delight. The Aunt wishes to have Charlie see “Peter.” Of course, Charlie has already seen him ! In fact he is in the basket awaiting shipment! Jennie, in alarm, motions Charlie to go. While Jennie is gone, Charlie announces he has with him a full blooded angora cat, the image of “Peter.” Miss Eastman’s eyes do not open, and Charlie cleverly sells “Peter” to his rightful owner, receiving one hundred dollars in payment, which was a birthday gift from Jennie to Miss Eastman. When Jennie returns, the mistake is realized, but to no avail, and Miss Eastman faints on learning the result of her mistake. This little play easily outclassed all its competi- tors. A clever comedy, well acted, and coached, it was re- plete with mirth and enjoyment. 89 CAST OF “THE CRIMSON COCOANUT” 90 ‘THE CRIMSON COCOANUT” Nitro Gliserinski, an anarchist Paul Kittredge Madame Gliserinski Janice Allardice All .

O’Toole Nancy Jabstick Gertrude Burke Jack Pincher Francis Freel Robert James Shaw Jack Pincher, a detective from Scotland Yard, is in Lon- don in search of two anarchists who intend to blow up the bank of England. He is searching a restaurant, the proprie- tor of which is suspected as being an accomplice, but who is nowhere to be found. The restaurant is in charge of Robert, a comical and careless waiter. Mr. Jabstick, an irate old man, enters the restaurant with his daughter, Nancy, who is in love with Pincher. Pincher, disguised, makes himself known to Nancy who is amazed. Mr. Jabstick is forced to leave the restaurant to purchase a new hat, his former top-piece being demolished by Robert, the careless waiter. While he is gone, Pincher confides in Nancy his work. He tells her a box containing a bomb has been left by the pro- prietor for two anarchists, Mr. and Mrs. Nitro Gliserinski, — a bomb which resembles a cocoanut, and which turns bright crimson just before exploding. The bomb is found in the restaurant and is rendered harmless just as it is about to explode. When the two anarchists visit the restaurant, Robert serves them the crimson cocoanut. They are alarmed, they run, and are captured. In the meantime Mr. Jabstick has returned, and seeing Nancy in Pincher ’s arms is about to strike him, but on learn- ing of the reward Pincher has just received for his clever work, he becomes reconciled and allows Pincher the hand of his daughter in marriage. Robert, the waiter, received his reward and lie also mar- ries the girl of his dreams, the cook at “The Spaghetti Res- taurant. ’ ’ A comedy full of fun and of many thrills, it was a re- markable success. 91 92 CAST OF “AND HOME CAME TED “AND HOME CAME TED” Skeet Kelly Diana Garwood .

Ted is assisted by Mollie Macklin, the plucky little house- keeper of the Rip Van Winkle Inn, and Skeet the clerk, who hails from Broadway. According to the clause of the by-laws of the company, every stockholder must register with the attorney by mid- night preceding the meeting. Ted holds the controlling in- terest, but Mollie, who has promised Ted’s father to take care of the factory is in despair because he has as yet failed to sign the register. Stone, who has iH ted Mollie because she was not mentioned in the dying father’s will is plotting to get control of the factory and to turn Molb’e out of the Inn. A young civil engineer is persuaded to impersonate the missing Ted. Complications come fast and furious. Mys- tery envelopes the household. Slowly, bit by bit, the many mysteries of the play are solved, surprise follows surprise, and the dramatic situations fairly teem with life and sustaining interest.

In all branches of sport, the life and spirit of the teams was furnished by members of our class, -and it was these men who by their knowledge of the game played, made the sporting season a big success. On the football field practically all the varsity was com- posed of members of our class. It has been said by good authority that but for our class, -athletics would have had to be done away with. As it is, it is now at its highest point. On the diamond, our class monopolizes the positions and on the basket-ball court one would mistake it for the class team. It was certainly a banner year foi sports and as our class representatives took a most prominent part, we have, natur- ally, a feeling of pride. When our classmates bring honor and glory to the school, they also in a measure, bring the same amount of credit to the class. The victories of the football team were numerous, the team defeating some of the best teams in the state. The basketball team was the best Clinton high has boasted of. Not being satisfied with local victories, it traveled into the hills of New Hampshire to gain a win. The baseball team is paving its way to fame. With all the veterans back, with a few exceptions, another championship is practically as- sured. The new coach, Mr. McCaffrey, is receiving the proper help, and if the spirit continues, championship teams are sure to be organ ized. He has certainly done good work during his first attempt and, as has been said, with the proper co-op- eration, will work wonders. Nineteen twenty-two has done its bit for athletics. Its members have tried their best to preserve the traditions of high school. As we pass on, leaving the work to the remain- ing schoolmates, we wish and hope that each year will find Clinton High Schools’ banner waving just as high as ever, that its name will still be sounded in fame and glory. We wish the coach the best of luck and we hope for the success of his teams. 95 96 BASEBALL TEAM, 1922 BASEBALL TEAM— 1922 Richard J. McIntyre, ”22, manager of the Clinton High School baseball team, has met with the greatest success in arranging a schedule for t his year with teams which have annually opposed the local high school boys. “Dick” has proved himself a capable manager, and his earnest efforts on behalf oi the boys will not be forgotten. Nearly all the veterans of last year’s team are back in school so the team has hopes of another championship. Moir, ’22, is holding down the backstop position •and is hitting the ball hard. A heady player, with plenty of base- ball knowledge, Moir is one of our luminaries. Brennan, ’24, and McHale, ’24, are taking their turns in the box. Each of them have a world of stuff and should re- turn a victory in every start. Cleary, ’23, who is making his first appearance, has, already shown his ability as a hinder. A hard hitter, also, time will sound his fame. Morrison, ’22, shortstop, has shown his true worth by his snappy fielding and his ability to push a hit a.ccross when needed. Shockett, ’23, covers the initial sack with the pep and class of a big leaguer. His height and speed give him a big advantage over his opponents. Kittredge, captain, ’23, is at his regular position. Live, steady, accurate, a hard and consistent hitter and a demon on the bases, he has shown himself a trustworthy guardian of the keystone sack. Neubauer, ’22, third base, is playing the game of his career. A fast fielder, and a sure and accurate thrower as well as a hard hitter, “Honey” is an indispensable asset. A. McNally, ’23, covering the left garden, is a sure and consistent hitter, and as a fielder he generally enlightens the stands by spectacular catches. O’Toole, ’22, center field, is playing his third successive year on the team. A sensational fielder, pu lling down hard drives, and a timely hitter, he has helped the team tremen- dously. W. McNally, ’23, is playing the right garden in typical big league class. East on the bases, a reliable fielder and clever with the willow, “Mac” is one of the leading assets. W. Kramer, ’23, has shown his ability as a backstop and fielder. Encouraging the pitchers when behind the plate, and with a deadly arm when playing the field and a place hitter, he is a man to be feared. 97 98 BASKET BALL TEAM 1922 BASKET-BALL The basket-ball season was a complete success due to the fine coaching of Mr. McCaffrey, and the splendid support which the boys displayed. At first, it, looked as though it would be impossible to secure a place to play but through the courtesy of Schiller Hall Corporation, a place was se- cured and the team went under way. Of the seventeen games, Clinton was only defeated three times. The gameness of the players on all occasions made this possible, though the odds were against them. A fine band of warriors, true and game, they carved their name in high school’s hall of fame. Kittredge, ’23, Captain, and center, was the outstanding star. A wonderful floor worker, a fast passer, and a re- markable shooter, he was the main pillar of our success. Moir, ’22, left-back, and center, was another luminary. On the defense, he broke up everything, and as a shooter, he generally startled the fans, by spectacular shots. Altman, ’22, right-back, played his defensive position in a clever and tactful way. Ilis speed and passing made him a valuable asset. Neubauer, ’22, the diminuative right-forward, possessed an eagle eye and a steady hand. Flashy and daring, this youth helped tremendously to keep Clinton on the winning end. O’Toole, ’22, played at the forward position, was an ex- ceptionally brilliant man. A steady passer, clever with the ball and at all times reliable, he helped the the team tremen- dously. W. Kramer, ’23, played back, and proved a valuable mem- ber. His passes were generally converted into baskets and his knowledge of the game, combined with his clever shoot- ing, made him a man to be feared. I. Kramer, ’23, gave -a. good account of himself when called upon to help, and should land a permanent position on next year’s team. 99 100 GIRLS BASKET BALL TEAM, 1922 GIRLS’ BASKET-BALL Owing to lack of a coach and proper place to play, Clin- ton High girls found it almost impossible to show their abil- ity in the athletic line up to this year. This year, however, under the capable supervision of Miss Mary Gibbons, coach, they managed to have a basket-ball team, and although they played few games, they were daring, enthusiastic and confi- dent players. The wonderful playing of all the girls made them dependable at all times and valuable assets to the team. Captain Mary Maxwell, ’22, center, cool, aggressive and confident, played an all around game and captained her team on to victory. Anna McNamara, ’22, the clever little forward, although the smallest member of the team, was by no means the slow- est. Her quick wit and clever ability as an athlete was quite noticeable. Lora, ’23, and Irene, ’22, took their turns at left-forward ; live, snappy and accurate players and capable basket shoot- ers, they brought much comment from the spectators. The right-guard position was held down by Margaret Gohery, ’22, and Alice Hurley, ’23, both doing splendid work on the defensive and offensive side. Left-forward was played by Helen Devaney, ’23, and she certainly did justice to that position, a good mixer and heady player a.t all times. Annie Caccialino, ’24, a forward sub, was always ready to do her bit when called upon to go into the game. It is the belief of the 1922 players that the teams in future years without doubt will be a. success, because of their permanent coach. We wish them the best of luck. 101 102 FOOTBALL TEAM, 192 2 FOOTBALL The call of the pigskin had its effect, and at the first roll call, fifty candidates reported for the first practice; fifty who were ready to defend the tradition of former years, if possible. After hard practice under the worthy direction of Coach McCaffrey, the first team was sent under way, with Hopes for a banner season. The season had its thrills, in its sensational victories and in its defeats. In the nine games played, Clinton succumbed twice, once against Fitchburg, where we were beaten by overweight, and by South High of Worcester, when we were defeated by a turn of luck. The other games are to the credit of the team, the most conspicuous victory being the defeat of St. Mark’s by a 6 to 0 score. A wonderful season, a great success, made by the work and efforts of the Coach and his band of willing warriors, whose fighting spirit and gameness made it possible to write there fame in sporting history. Much credit is due them. They fought a good fight. They did their work well. Captain Moir, ’22, playing at left end, was a world of encouragement and a tower of strength to the team. Few plays circled his end, and as a receiver of the forward pass, he had no peer. Burke, ’22, at fullback, played his usual sterling game. Light, but game and willing, he hammered down the oppos- ing linemen at will and at all times was reliable. Kittredge, ’22, left half, was the football sensation of the season. Time and again, he broke through for long sensa- tional runs. A remarkable player, fast and heady, “Kitty” was second to none. McIntyre, ’22, right-half, possessed the two requirements for the backfield, mainly, speed and brains. Light on his feet and a brainy player, lie startled the fans with his cool- ness and daring. Altman, ’22, Captain-elect, was the general of the team. Shifty, neat and clever, whether running, passing or kicking, this versatile youth, always gave a good account of him- self. His well-timed forward passes helped tremendously toward our victories. 103 Needham, ’22, playing the backfield, had all the earmarks of 1 . veteran. Cool, fast and willing, lie was a valuable as- set to the team. His courage and knowledge of the game helped tremendously toward victory. W • McNally, ’24, playing end, took care of his sector in a spirited manner. Fast and sure, few plays circled passed him. Shockett, ’23, at right-end, played a sterling game at all times. A heady player and a sure catcher of the forward pass, he was indispensable. Cleary, ’23, the huge right-tackle, nailed everything that came his way. A power in the line and a hard and a long kicker, he was invaluable. Connolly, ’23, on the other side of the line, was a tower of strength, llis knack of getting through made him a val- uable asset. J. McNally, ’24, playing his first year on the varsity, startled his opponents by his fighting spirit. As a guard he was second to none. Donnelly, ’23, at left-guard, displayed a vast knowledge of the game. He struck terror into the hearts of his op- ponents. Much credit is due him for he never faltered. W. Burke, ’24, generally played his share at the guard position. Big, ready and fighting, a hard and sure tackle, he aided in many victories. Burke, ’23, at the center of the line, displayed a brilliant passing game. Cool, reliable and aggressive, he was in there fighting at all times. J. Gibbons, ’24, Haddock, ’23, Gallagher, ’23, Jennings, ’22, showed the true spirit of gameness when called upon to show their mettle. Players who were ready at all times to give their all for victory, they should not be forgotten. Time will give some more men the chance to fight as their predecessors fought, but their efforts, combined with their spirit and courage, shall never reach the point that the spirit of these boys did. 104 CLASS PROPHECY By Mildred E. Gannon 1 dreamed a dream, one summer’s night Out in the clear and bright starlight, As I sat by the sea the waves rolled by And whispered memories of “Old Clinton High.” I watched the moon so stately and proud As it was passed by each white cloud And each tiny star, with twinkling eye Seemed, from envy, to almost sigh. The passing moon so bright and clear Reminded me of my teachers dear, And the pupils were the stars in the sky, The pupils of old “Clinton High.” Each one, I saw doing life’s work, Not one of them had ever shirked. That bright star is Austin O’Toole, Bringing honor to our school; For in a city far away He gains glory day by day. That other star there at his right Shining every bit as bright As hostess of many a social affair. For Gert Burke has married a millionaire. Our class treasurer next I see, Who could succeed any better than he? ’Tis Horace Altman paving his way To ' be a lawyer some future day. Janice Allardice, a double star Is driving around in her new car, For Jay has turned over a new page And gone to the bright lights and the stag e. Madeleine Bastian is in great demand, She has many suitors for her hand; Away in Washington, D. C., She is society’s busiest bee. Catherine Burke is a teacher now Teaching her little pupils how To add and subtract and read and write, And when in company to be polite. In a country far, far away, Toiling steadily day by day, Mary Brennan, is, I declare, Creating things for people to wear. On an office door I see “Dr. Joseph Burke, M. D.” Drawing patients many, not few, And drawing some of their money, too. 105 A statesman ver noble and great Has come to be Billie Burns’ fate. He has risen very high Since he left “Old Clinton High.” As an artist tail and grand, Well known throughout this land, Sally Cannon desi gning styles Gains many customers by her smiles. A judge is Purvis Carruth, His motto. “Justice and Truth,” Has brought to him much glory and fame, But Purvis will always remain the same. And shining brightly in her career There is Julia Clark, I hear Teaching children to read and write And ' love and obey, with all her might. Kenneth Custance is writing a play Which will be the most popular of the day. Of his good work we all know For he has written many a show. A dentist there is in our town, A dentist of very great reknown. Joseph Ellam puts out his sign. You are welcome any time. As the village minister’s wife Doris Faulkner leads an ideal life. Helping the needy and the poor, Always smiling as in days of yore. Margaret Gohery in a gym. Popular and sure to win; With Irene Hester as her pal, They will conquer all. We hope they shall. Josie Griffin, a lady so nice. Is very busy giving advice To girls much younger than she, On how to learn phonography. In the society gossip I hear Of the crowning event of the year, Alice Healey will entertan; She has much reason to be vain. Joseph Jennings is an engineer In a city far from here; In the papers we see his name, For he has achieved much honor and fame. Dick Kiley in his “Man’s Store” Works as hard as ever before. Now he owns a very nice shop. And he would love to have you stop. 106 Millie King is sporting furs, That beautiful car she drives is hers. Private ‘sec’ ’to a millionaire, Her life is just one grand affair. Bunnie Lyman and Sana Long- Have just composed a popular song. They are also movie stars, Their names are spoken both near and far. A beautiful and graceful girl In the midst of a social whirl, Mary Maxwell I can see, Belle of Boston’s society. And John McCue, my dear classmates. Is President of the United States. We are filled with pride and envy, too, For he belonged to ’twenty-two. McIntyre’s name is on every tongue, He seems so very, very young, To be so great in politics; You’re all right if you’re a friend of Dick’s. Preaching the gospel of “Might or Right,’’ Anna Mack makes a pretty sight On a platform, and gathered near Her friends have come her words to cheer. In a hote ' l lobby you will see A public writer of stenography; As you wait he will do your work, For Anthony McNicholas would never shirk. In the newspapers I now read That Eddie Moir takes the lead In athetics, and of late He is the champion of the state. Thomas Morrison and Thomas C., Are just as busy as they can be, For they have had a large sale of stock, For their latest invention, an electric clock. Next to Marconi as the best, Gordon Needham succeeds the rest In the ever-popular radio line, On which he has spent very much of his time. Herman Neubauer with his violin Into many hearts his way will win, It is wonderful what people say When they have heard the professor play. Maybelle Noel, a nurse so kind, Is in a hospital for the blind, And there bestowing on eager ears Gay stories of her High School years. 107 The advertisement of a Beauty Hall Means that Berris has answered her call, We see her pictures of twists and curls And woven through are seedlike pearls. Frank Nugent driving a new sedan As salesman, traveling a ' ll over this land; He is trying to sell a new kind of seed That is supposed to out grow most any weed. A big machine goes whizzing by And now I hear a familiar cry, ’Tis Gert O’Connell that I see Gayly waving her hand to me. Then I know Elizabeth O’Toole Is teaching the children in a primary school. Her pupils know her as teacher and friend And will love her always till the end. Catherine O’Toole to her goal will aspire And that is to sing in a city choir, She will sing these hymns most every day But all her “Hymns” aren’t spelled that way. Making much progress in her life Writing books of Love and Strife. Our friend and classmate Mary O’Toole, Does not forget her days in school. In beautiful silks so rich and rare With costly jewels in her hair, Alta Parker leads the life As a railroad magnate’s wife. As a professor in a well-known college Harry Peinert imparts his knowledge To pupils eager and willing to learn, For if they’re not he is very stern. Steadily working on an experiment, His mind upon his work is bent, Caring not for worldly pleasures, Austin Philbin his life work measures. Martha Philbin is an artist rare, At her work many people stare; Her specialties are angels with wings And flowers and skies and that sort of thing. In a bank busy counting gold, With the care and skill as in days of old; Bertha Rueger with smile so sunny Will marry the banker and his money. Elizabeth Saunders leads a mission band And has gone far away to a foreign land, She will succeed and much work will she do As a friend in need so good and true. 108 In the city studying law I see our classmate, James Shaw, And written in the Hall of Fame We soon will see his honorable name. Catherine Su ' llivan on Wall Street, A stenographer so trim ' apd neat, And the head bookkeeper is I hear Familiar enough to call her “dear.” And Margaret Sullivan then I see, A milliner in gay “Paree;” Many beautiful hats she makes And sends them to the United States. In a uniform so stiff and white Nursing and healing with all her might Our friend, Alice Toole, is I hear, Bringing to patients good health and cheer. Anna Toner has come into fortune and wealth. She is guiding a rich patient to joy and health; And when she is well they will travel away To some foreign country, where they will stay. Julia Walsh, a governess fair. Is teaching the children of a millionaire It is wonderful work they say For she travels most every day. And in the city of New York I hear there is much exciting talk Of the champion typist of the day. Marguerite believes that work is play. In one of our churches I now hear A woman preacher is to appear, And if you should be in church that night You would hear Doctor Amy Wright. A Fifth Avenue shop has Dorothy Zoll, She sells everything from a gown to a doll; She has working for her many girls now, But we all know she taught them how. Alone again there by the sea With the stars all shining down on me, I realize that all will soon be gone With the coming of daylight and the dawn. And the moon that now has risen high Like all the stars must sometime die; And like the moon in its bed of blue Our dear teachers so good and true, As a beacon light at each narrow bend, Will lead us safely to the end. And after this world of work and strife We shall pass to the land of eternal ' life; It is their teachings that, will bring us there And I cannot keep back a tiny prayer, That all my teachers and dear class friends Will receive God’s blessings till the end. 109 CLASS SONG Music by Margaret Sullivan. Words by Alice Healey. 1 Oft in future years when other ties bind, Memories will arise and of this scene remind; Classmates dear assemble here To bid farewell to High School dear; We start together on the journey of life, We will work and win in this world of strife, Our motto heed, this be our creed, “Every day some nobler deed.” Chorus Farewell to Clinton High School, Class of nineteen twenty-two, Friends we were together And ever will be true, Yet our hearts are full of sorrow, Tho of happy days we sing, But we’ll treasure for the morrow What the future days will bring. 9 Hail to Clinton High, we thee will ne’er forget, In our inmost tlio’ts your teachings we have set, To us strength you give to fight And always to uphold the right; Evil ’against ns shall not prevail, For with gold and crimson, we cannot fail ; On what e’er path our fortunes lead “Every day some nobler deed.” 110 CLASS BALLOT Done most for C.
