So now shall we direct our careless footste])s to that red brick Intildimr which the sorrows, triltulations, and triumphs of the past four years have made very dear to our hearts ; tlie sound of our voices and laughter will no longer eclio through its battered, service-wracked rooms and halls. And at this point, it is altogether fitting that we should ex])ress in some way our appreciation of the teachers who, tlirough those four long drawn years, have endured the ofttimes irksomeness of our presence ; who have met with wonderful patience our waywardness and our faults, our stub- bornness, and our abandon concerning .studies. The teaching profession is not a wholly ’uiadulterated plea- sure. It has its moments of .stress and strain ; there are times when pu] ' )ils try the nerves of even the most even-tempered and patient of teachers. Too often, we have been numbered with that type of pupil. Hard words have sometimes na.sse 1 between us — excusable words on their part. But all that is forgotten. Today, we remember only the fact that our teachers were moved by motives which had their inception in their regard for our interests and for our well being ; o r teachers were always our fiuends. although we did not always appreciate the fact. Today, we take this opjmi-trnity to thank them, with duly grateful hearts, for all that they have done for us. We wish to apologize for the numerous things that we have done con- trary to the advice and better judgment. And, as we leave our dear Alma iMater. we wish to assure our teachers that we shall do our utmost to prove worthy of their friendshi]). and of their esteem Farewell, dear teachers — and friends; we wish you joy, and all the things which your magnificent ‘jualities deserve. 6 MR. COBB As principal of the school, during our four year’s sojourn there, “Eben S.” was a huge success. Stern at times, he could annihilate even the pfuse and the vanity of our haughtiest and most sophisti- cated classmate with his straight, direct, Macaulay-like utte rance, and his Ciceroilic vigor of expression when tlie object of his wrath deserved such treatment. We ought to know: we’ve been on the car- pet more than once. (That “we” is not an editorial “we.” either I) However, it was all for our own good, and it is only with the best of feeling that we hid him “good-by.” LEWIS S. GORDON, Jr. Here we have the most I� opular teacher of all the faculty — the idol of the girls, and the pal and boon com- panion of the hoys. WIhmi- ever any of us were in trouble, it was “Doc” that we ran t( : and it was “Doc” who fixed things up for us. Affable and good-natured, his acquain- tance was a genuine pleasure. Mr. Gordon’s extensive knowl- edge of literature, and his keen insight into modern problems have made him a general standby for us when we were puzzled. Here’s to “Doc” — “for he’s a jolly good fellow.” 8 ROSE RATHBUN Miss Uathbiin is small — Ijui so is a stick of dynamite. We ' ll never forjLret the day when, while pin-siiinjr her duties as “Tratlic Cop” in the lower corridor, she was mis- taken for a girl student hy one of our wild hoys and was a 1 vised to get “onta the way in a rather vigorous manner. Miss Kathhun not only rc‘- fused to get out of the way hut with a forcefulness of vo- cabulary that was as de- vastating as an avanlaiiche. and as blistering as a musrard plaster, she convinced him (� f tlie error of his vision. Tliat’s Miss Rathbun — coldly calm, and absolutely capable of liolding up her end. She is very popular with the com- mercial students and is gen- erally well-liked. ELLEN K. STEVENS Miss Stevens left us last year before many of us had an opportunity to be mem- bei’s of her classes. To those of us who were fortu- nate enough to becmne ac- quainted with her, she wili always be remembered for her culture, her wide knowledge of affairs in general, and her thorough and sympathetic in- terest in her pupils. Her history chisses were events: her exidanations were (dassics of the kind. It w;is with sin- cere regrets that we heard of her resignation and it was with the l est wishes for the future that we came to the l arting of the ways. 9 SUSAN SMITH Miss Smith was called to our attention first in Sopho- more year in English. We. being a rather witty scholar (in our own estimation . chanced to make what is technically known as a ‘ ' wise crack, ' and what she didn ' t do to us for our insolence is not to be mentioned. There- after. we behaveil. Miss Smith ' s poise, and her utter righteousness at all times left us with nothing but regard and admiration in our souls. She taught us English — and “take it fn� m us. Oswald. she taught. We all like Miss Smith, and wi.sh her the best :?1.3ni .lu HANNAH M. WALSH Miss Walsh ' s queenly bear- ing and aristocratic carriage had us all guessing and fear- ful when we were Freshmen, but after the Sophomore year, we soon discovered our mis- take. Kind and indulgent, she was ever ready to en- courage us in our efforts, and was only too anxious to see to our welfare in all things. Ati s Walsh ' s delicate sarcasm has more than once foiled the freshness of certain of our •■wise scholars, and made them realize that “wisdom ' is a word found in the diction- ary and not in themselves, as rbcv so fondly hoped. We wish Tier the best of luck on our craduation. TAILORED SMITH Miss Smith, our dniwincr teacher, has done much to make her .subject interesting. Always in a pleasant state of mind, and full of humor, she has never been a source of tear or dislike to any of us. We trust that she will con- tinue to crace the High School with her presence for some time to come. 10 ROLAND B. HOUSTON Mr. Houston, our luoolunii- (• il (Iriiwiuji ' tt‘!iclur, and h c- Hiroi- oxtraordiiuiry ou tlio moi-;il codt ' , has, by bis un- usual luothod of (lispeusiii. kiiowb ' djio. ai ' hiovod for biui- s(‘ir an unusual distiiictioii in ( ur minds. Always a stick- le r for what be termed “the honorable way,” 1 h‘ was a safe liaveu and arbiter wlieuever our minds were i)u zled by ' ine (luestioii of honor or the like, and he settled it always for us in the ri ht way. Very iut(‘restiu! . his chis.ses were something- which we looked fcrvai ' d to with real i� leasure, and he was one of our best friends. Mr. Houston has the b(‘st wishes of all of us. NELLIE KENT We tirst became ac(niainted with Miss Kent in Sophomore y(ar, and since then, have spent many enjoyable hours in her comi any — usually in liei‘ P. iM. sessions. Miss Kent ' s knowledjie of “Math” is ])rofonnd, and when she yot on the trail of a poor, little, weak, abstruse problem in Alt?el)ra it just naturally threw up its bands and sui-- I ' endered. And as for Geo- metry — why she knew all I hose hard tlK ' orems by their pet names, and could actually make them jumj) rope. With such a teacher, we couldn ' t iK ' lp learn our “Math.” and it is with extreme gratitude fimt we lud fai ' ewell to our friend Miss Kent — and her 1 . . M. sessions. 11 MARGARET O’NEILL liejiinniiij? with our Sopho- more year, Miss O’Neill took the place of the one and oidy “Guy” as head of our Latin Department and, during- her two years incumbency, it must be said that she tilled his place in a satisfactory and efficient manner. Merry- hearted and pleasant, she soon won a place in our hearts. N � one could “Get away with anythiiiif” on “Peii ' j;y, ' ’ how- ever, as many found to their soiTow. We htst her throu,ah marria te last year, and trust that lUiUTied life will be for her a pleasant voyasre. MARIE GIBBONS Miss Gibbons is that be- witchinjr young brunette who lords it over Room Eight with sm-li delightful sovereignity and severity. Everything she says goes, for who could re- fuse lierV We’ve taken French from “Marie” for two years: we wish it were twenty. You know, she’s that kind of a girl. Her ripiding humor, and h( r delicate, satiric thrusts w(M-e outstanding features of “Marie” in our mind, and th( se things, plus her undeni- able teaching ability, have made her acquaintance well worth while. We trust that Fortune will continue to smile on Marie in the casting of the lots, and that her i ath will be (� f a roseate hue. 12 MARY GIBBONS Miss (Ijbhoiis. the foiiiiiiim side o1‘ oiir i yimiasium, has won a deserv(Mlly popular place in the hearts of oiir liirls. The ;ireat interest shown ill thinjjs pertaiiiiiijr to iihysiciil efliciency on the part of oiir .uirls, is ;iii evi- dence of her stK ' cess. The liirls’ hiking; clnhs, the .li ' reat success of the .uirls ' liasket- hall tettin. and tlu ' many other athletic activities wherein tlu‘ weaker sex participsited, wei ' e ill successful accoinplishinents of Miss Oihhons. AVe hope she will continue her s ' ood work witli us for a lonu ' while. MARTHA LINTON M iss Linton is anotlier one of oiir teachers who left ns throiiiih inarriaji:e. As a music teacher, she was “old man Perfection himself;” many of us first hecame acquainted with real music thron.uh Miss Linton. Time after time, slie Iiiloted ns throii.uii siK ' cessfnl musical events; many of our recent jiradiiation exercises were monuments to her aliil- ity as a teacher. We know that Miss Linton will he suc- (‘esfnl in her t-areer as a mar- i-i( ' d woman. Failure for her in ini]) 0 ssihl(‘. 13 JOSEPH F. McCaffrey “Joe,” as our athletic coach, ami as our teacher, has liatl ample opportunity of showing us what he has of ability and we must admit that he is “there” — and “there” with em- phasis. The hug:e success which has crowned his efforts on the athletic field is evident by a jjlance at our school ' s record of the past year. As a teacher, he has won our re- spect and esteem. Joe’s sin- cerity, honesty, and straight- forwardness have made him tremendously popular with every one, and it is safe to surmise that he runs even the incomparable “Doc” a close second. We wish “Joe” luck, and all the things that go with it. MARY KERRIGAN Mary Kerrigan “Molly” our l� etite Latin and French teachei- is very popular with the girls and boys. Although she is a new member of the faculty, she certainly is a pleasant addition. We all know that Molly never forgot her High School days and we all love her for being leni(‘iit with us at times. I� ut did you ever try to get a drink luring foi-bidden hours while “Molly” was on guard? “Try and do it.” Also, did yon ever try to get excused from rei)orting ba- misbehavior? Try it s mie- time. It’s fun. but you ' ll re- port in the end. “Molly’s” prim but she is a (la ding, and W( ’1I never forget her with her sweet smile and curly hair. 14 ETHEL TIERNEY As a ( ' oininercial teacln ' r. Miss takes l� i};h rank. Her (’oniniereial |� upils will all swear by her, and will tell yon what a true, staunch, re- liable, and most deli;;htful friend she is. II( r ready coin- pliance to help us in all oui- work is marked aipl appi ' eci- ated by all. When we wert tryinjr to make “Your favor of the Idth noted, et( . out of what looked to us like some of Kinj; Tut’s hierofj:lyi)hics. she was ever ready to aid us in our pendexity. Even that smile of hers, and her willing- ness to jrive us a lift in her “limousine, have shown us that .she is a truly pleasant younj? lady. PATRICK F. HYNES: Throufih the labyrinth of historical and ijatriotic djtta and statistics, through silver coinage and the dark and dis- mal doings of America Ver- pucci, from Christoforo Co- lomb to Pershing, we have been led by Mr, Hynes during the past year. As our history teacher, “l at” was great ; we certainly enjoyed him. Mr. Hynes is a firm believer in the efficacy of public speaking and he never lo.ses an opportunity to practice what he preaches. His wit is good, and quite amusing. We are sorry to terminate our a( quaintance with Mr. Hynes, but what is our lo.ss, will be the gain of the other High School stu- dents. 15 Mis ' i Siiiall. teacher of (luincstic scieiK ' f has proven a alnahle asset, as oiir cook- iiiir ability will show. “The way to ;i nnin ' s heart is through his stoinaeh” as the old adage lias it. and if that inaxiin is triK ' , we girls will make ex- (dlent wives for some young men in tlie future. You hoys in our class take notice, li ' s Sill;! II li;is alwiiys been our fi ieiid. ;ind we trust that sh(‘ w ' ll liav(‘ :t iileasant time of it . h Mi we shiill leave. ALICE B. McNAB ] liss McNab and we have been friends ever since Fresh- man year, a very fortunate occurrence for us. We enjoyed her English classes immense- ly ; lier willingness to bright- en things up by introducing innovations and her general desire to do all in her power to make English, as a subject, interesting, struck the propel chords in our hearts, phins. AVe thank Miss McNah sincerely, and we feel re;il regr«‘t in leaving her. ELEANOR DRISCOLL .Mis Driscoll is ;i receiil ari ival. hut we all look on her as an old friend. Her iia Tience with us in our efforts to sing the high parts of some ditlicult song was really won- derful ; im n than once slu has i (‘scued the hoys from the hhick deiiths of bass and has helped to instil in their h ‘:irts the i� i in(‘iple that sing- in; is an art ami not a series of howls and ludeous noises. l’l( asant and capable, sh« suvelv is a wtdcome addition to the faculty. HENRY J. McSHERRY ( ' n September (ffh, we were surprised to see our new ( ' hmnistry teacher. Mr. Mc- Sherry. The Ixme-rimmed glasses gave him a rather severe look, and. for a time, we were in fear and trein- hling in his presence. Fam- iliarity bred knowledge and regard in our case and we soon lost our fear. Mr. Mc- Sherry has become extremely popular with our class and we leave only with the best of thoughts and feelings. 16 Toot! Toot! Toot! Stoj), look, lisU ii, folks! Just m sec. ! Gimme your attention. This is the 1923 engine mak- ing a bee-line out of ITi«h School! If you don’t think we ' re speeding, watch our smoke curl, and excuse our dust. Lower your blinkers ' cause our cinders fly ! We’re a wild crew, but our intentions are ood. If you fail to understand our eccentricities and idyosincrasies, faint our fault — we ' re free, white, and seventeen. But what we want to put you wise to is this (and you can write it down on your cuff, too) : We have writtmi this book partly for sport, and we hope you’re goinir to like it; still, that’s neither here nor there, and if you don’t, why we’re not oing; to get peeved a’uout it. Of course, tlmre’s all the rar- marks of a few gentle reminders, alias clams; but remember those all go to make up life. The purpose of our work here is to cheer you when you are feeling me n and sorta ' mefumlir.ly, and we’ve got a hunch we can do it. Just turn over a leaf or two and you’ll be surprised what o r Purple and Gold holds for you. And, when some guy gives you credit for your work — just let your reflections roam back to those days wlmn our cauable and per- severing engineer, a man by the name of Cobb, guided you safely through to your destinat on without demanding transfers. If your ambitions don’t materiaPze. it ' s no use to griimbP and complain; arm yo;rself with the best kind of courage. “Try-it-again !” 8o, my friends, if you don’t like our proposition herein, push the button, and our genial conductor, Joe, will let you off at the next station. Thanks a lot for your attention, and now we ' ll say, “Good-bye, and all-aboard for our new goal. Fortune and Prosperity !” 18 Helen Devaney, V ice- Pres.

That Motto expresses Piggy perfectly. He is a wonderful worker and has established a rec ' ord for steady, con- scientious work and reliability second to none. Always well up in his lessons, J. F. has never had recourse to “cribbing” or to that practice which one of our ingenious mates has nicknamed “correcting someone else’s work.” Piggy has picked out the medical profession, and, after gazing upon those really professional looking glasses, we are inclined to believe that be will make good. J.

Luch’s huge physical i)roportions have stood him in good stejid on the football held, where, for the last few years, he has been a Holy terror” playing on the line. James played like a locomotive running smiick, and. when given the hall, and oi-dered to buck the op]H(sing line, usually went through it like a wild hull in an orjdian asylum. Luch was extremely popular with the Gentle” sex and hardly a recess went by that we could not see him arm in arm with some one (f its fair meml� ers. Good-natured and amiable, Luch has nothing but the regard of his classmates. Luch’s ambition leads him to the open doors of Holy Cross, where we km(w be will be cordially welcomed. 29 MARGARET MARY CROWLEY ‘•Peg, Marg.” Secretary of Hiking Club 4; Junior I’rom Committee: A.

Peg is not at all seltish with the knowledge that she gains: she is the soul of generosity and ever ready to impart the aforesaid knowle lge to her neighbor. In Stenography and P� ookkeeping. Peg was a veritable wizard: and when it came to comparing Trial P alances and Statements, she never hesitated to quote her totals. Margie seh’om had any snappy narratives to relate for the benefit of her neighbor, but was more than willing to appro -iate the other fellow ' s joke.

There is ]� ositively no denjTng It. Ethel is beautiful. We can rememl ei’ long ago wben we were Freshmen, our first view of “Uttle Ethel.” We thought that she was really wonderful even then, and were so awe-stricken that it took us over a year to even presume to become acquainted. And then came the second pleasurable reaction, fm we discovered that Ethel’s personality was as pleasing as her per.scmal ai)pearanee. Unspoiled, modest, and kind — she was and is the living refutation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s oft-repeated declaration that the girl of her t -pe is dead. We wish Ethel all the luck in the world, and are confident that her virtues, cond)ined with her gifts and talent, will insure her the best of treatment at the hands of Fate. 38 NORA GILLESPIE ( ' onmiercial Course Favoi ' ite ( )ecui)atioii : Blufliiifi ' History- Favorite Fxi)i-essioii : Oh you know what I mean.

We took French with Isabell for two years, and the way she rattled out those sentences and phrases was breath-taking, and far too much for our limited powers of (‘oinprehension. Believe us, she was “there.” And as she was in Fi i ncli. so was she in all subjects. Along with her scholastic ability. Business is claiming Isabell, and if her school was any criterion of her business ability, Morgan, Rockefeller, and the rest, had better look to these laurels. 89 The time has come for parting, The opened page is bare ; Onr real lives are starting, And we must write them there.

Our new teachers and principal proffered much heeded advice and counsel to each and all of us, and we were very deter- mined to be diligent and attentive. In union there is strength so we decided to incorporate with the following officers: President, John McGrath; Vice president, Gertrude McConville ; Secretary, Isabelle Eawrt ; and Treasurer, Edward Philbin. It would not do to relate here all the activities of our Freshman year. Take it for granted, we took an active part in all affairs, our own. or anybody else ' s. Our para- mount concern was “The Pride of the Family” which we offered in competition with the other acts for the benefit of the A. A. Our Freshman year came to a rapid close and we departed only to return in the fall to enter upon our 92 SOPHOMORE YEAR In the fall of 1920, the number in our elass was diminislied. There were many changes in the faculty, fhe position of Miss Elizahetli Eury was taken by Miss Elen K. Stevens. Miss Ellen Small came here as a result of Miss Hartford’s transfer. During the year, Mr. Jordan folded his tent and pulled up the last stakes of his High School connection. Adder many variables which nearly reached the limit. Miss Margaret B. O’Neil succeeded in his position. Miss Mildred A. Smith and Mr. Roland B. Houston succeeded Miss Edith Whitney and Mr. John J. Ploward, respectively, as special drawing instructors. As Sophomores, we felt so very important that we held a meeting early in the year. The following were elected : Pres- ident, Lester Dyer; Vice-president. Lillian Craig; Treasurer, Edward Philbin ; Secretary, Helen Devaney. ,We voted that our class colors should be purple and gold. We also instruc- ted a committee to purchase suitable class rings. Our first annual dance was held in Pierce Hall, socially if not financially, successful. When the competitive system of ticket selling was inaugurated by Mr. Col)b, our class came forward, and looking back upon the contest we congratulate ourselves, the winner. That year the plays were portrayed under the 1923 banner. ‘‘Miss Civilization” was our offering. After a successful Sophomore year we enter upon our 93 JUNIOR YEAR A ain vve returned to school, this time as Jiinors. And again, we found the class decreased, and changes in the fa- culty. Our French teacher. Miss Margarite McKelliget, entered the faculty at Worcester Normal, and Miss Marie Gibbons was appointed her successor. Mr. Nuedorf removed to Cambridge, and Mr. Joseph McCaffrey was added to the faculty with the position of boys’ physical training director. Miss Mary T. Gibbons was appointed physical director for girls. Early in September, a meeting was called d ring which, after much discussion, the following were elected : President. Lester Dyer; Vice president, Lilian Craig; Treasurer, ' n- ton Gallagher; Secretary, Helen Devaney. The next month, our second meeting dealt with our second annual (iance. The committee in charge engaged Pierce Hall and Flanagan s orchestra for dancing. In April, the Operetta, “O Hara San,” was presented instead of the accustomed inter-class dramatics Owing t? ' the vocal ability of many of our classmates, under the tli- rection of Miss Martha Linton, the presentation was (juite well done. The first of June, plans were begun for the annual Junior Prom, the climax of our social endeavors. A i ecc})tiou and decoration committee were appointed. The Town Hall was engaged for the 29th of June. Walter Johnson’s orchestra furnished music. Although this event was our largest und - taking, the Prom was succe.ssful. We pause and look l)ack upon the effective events of the year, and it is with a more sophisticated attitude that we pursue our studies ui our 94 SENIOR YEAR Di ' ii-ty })er.s{)iii1io(l ! uii])ress ve sedaten ss !

At kr t, it was possible for l s to part company with the riotous pojudace which throngs the lower corridors and retire to our Assembly Hall, although, sad to relate, a })or- tion of our members were ])laced under the obligation of gracing Room 5. At the first meeting of the class, the following officers were elected: Joseph Goodwin, president; Helen Devaney, vice- president ; Isabdl AVindle, secretary; Paul Kittredge. trea- surer. December 26th, the Seniors ])i esented their class play, “Nothing but the Truth,” a farcial comedy in three acts. The acting was highly creditable to the players, and without a doubt it was ap])reciated to its fullest merit. As ever, we lay willingly the laurels of our success at the feet of our ca])able coach and friend, “Doc.” In the Inter-Class Dra- matics, judges were appointed to determine the outcome of the plays. Of course, we Seniors were the fortunate ones to carry off the banner at both of the evening performances with our “Sauce for the Goslings.” Our reward was the coveted j)rivilege of having our numerals engraved on the dramatic cup. This year, as the time was nearing Class Day, all doubt and difficulty concerning the flying of our class banners, was done away with I)y a provision made by our princi])al, Mr. Cobb. An inter-class relay race was held at the driving- park, the wining class to he accorded with the honor of having its banner in place. AVe Seniors won, having, ai)]iarently. the better athletes. Only another honor added to o r glor es ! How swiftly the wings of time fly! Four long years of all our little successes and failures in high school life will soon belong to the past — a whole chapter of our lives will soon be at an end. Yet the possession of our new freedom is not en- tirely alloyed with happiness IMingled with it is a tinge of sadness which comes when all good friends must part ii id live their lives in regions which ai’e remote from each other. And the Class of ’28 before stepping into the joyous chaos of commencement time, extends to C.H.R. its k(‘en appre- ciation of the training it has received. 95 1923 ALPHABET A — is for Alice our girl Athlete.

The ])Iot was woven about O Hara San, the only child of Samuria Kanava. who has fallen in love wdth O Kashi Kintara, a younj; student.

Bob wins his ten thousand dollars, straightens out his friend’s domestic troubles, and, last but not least, wins, all over again, this time for flood — Gwen. 83 Preamble Tn future yeai s. when j)leasant memories of ( II. S. return to us, no reminiseenee will be more pleasant, or bring: us more pride, than the thoughts of our athletes of ’‘28. Members of our class held a majority of the i)ositions in every branch of sport, and the others of 1923 who were not athletically inclined, enthusiatically led our younger school- mates in arousing the true school s])irit, which of late years has seemed to be dying out. It is doubtful if C. II. S. was ever represented by a stronger football team. Pitted against heavier teams from larger schools, the} “brought home the bacon” every time with few exceptions. The basket ball team has a record to be proud of. The baseball team is well under way and if signs are any indication another good team ought to be developed. The girl’s basket-ball team may well boast of its success. Although handicapped by the lack of a good floor at the begin- ning of the season, the girls ventured to oppose even the strong Cushing Academy team and made a very creditable showing. Too much cannot be said in praise of Mr. McCaffrey and Miss Gibbons who have worked so ably and diligently to pro- cure these splendid results. By Mr. iMeCaffrey ’s suggestion, a cheering section was organized. This accomplished a double purpose ; it urged on the players to greater achievements and it aroused greater interest among the students. The treasury of the A. A., is undoubtedly in the best finan- cial condition ever, due to the careful surveillance of Mr. Cobb, the treasurer. With much available material, the future of next year’s teams seems very rosy, and we are confident of seeing as good, perhaps even better teams than we have in the past. Farewell, Mr. Coach. Although absent in body, our hearts are with you, for every success to your future teams. 107 FOOTliALL 111 s])ite of 11u‘ loss of many of last year’s veterans, the football team startl ' d off with a l)an« Mr. le( ’alTi-( y, with ■reat patienee and thorou hiK ' ss, ])rodne(‘d a team whieh Ix ' eame one of the best teams in the state, losing only three uames, one heeause of inexperience, the other two because of the ahsenee of reonlars and a turn of luek. Altogether, tin ' team amassed a total of 281 points against 94 for their oji- [lonents. Ed. (deary. ' 28 (’aptadi, was a hard and aggressive taekler. •His ahil ty to diagnose ]days made him one of the most feared men on the team. Win A. McNally, ’24 Captain eleet, was fast going down under punts and very instrumental in breaking u|) the oj)- ])osing team’s interference. i . Kittredge, ’28, as half back was the terror of enemy team, and one of the best men playing his iiosition in High School football in New England. Because of his great repu- tation, “Watch Kittredge beca.se the watchword of the opposing teams. J. Gibbons, ’25 (H-B), was quick to diagnose the forward jiasses of the oj)posing team. He was a hard tackier and carried the ball well. W. Kraemer, ’28 (F-B), was the team’s wonder boy. He was a bear at hitting the line and proved a great asset to the team by his interference in behalf of his backfield mates. Lester Dyer, ’24 ((}-B), was the brains of the team, and considering his diminutive size, too much praise cannot be given him L. Burke, ’28 (center), was a sure and consistant passer, and many of the opjmsing team’s line plunges were stopjied by his efforts. J. (’onnelly, ’28 (T), was a good imitation of his favorite plaything, a locomotive, hitting the line with herculean strength and always nailing his man. A. Forance, ’2 5 (G), played his position well, very few gains being made through his part of the line. J. McNally, ’24 (G), knew the game and how to play it, he was a valuable man to the team. A. McNally, ’28 (H-B), showed the real fighting stuff that (’.H.S men are noted for. Wm. McNally, ’24 (E), the fourth McNally on the team, kept up both the reputation of the family and C.H.S. Edw. Philbin, ’23, was a hard tacker and persistent fighter, always at the bottom of the pile. 109 George O ' Toole. ' 23 clemoustrated that the handicap of size was not necessarily a barrier to good football. JSalmon. ' 24 (G). a dependable guard. You could alway.N feel confident that he would be on his job every time. E. F. Osgood, ' 23 l lanager. Too much })raise can not be given him for his careful surveillance of the needs of the team. Schultz ' 23. M. Gibbons ' 26. Saunders ' 25. 1. Kraemer ' 23. Cannon ' 24, Jf)hn Connelly ' 26 were always ready to do their part and help to bring victoiy to C.H.S. BASKETBALL The basketball season was veiy successful, considering the lack of available veterans from last year ' s team. The squad was built up around Captain Kittredge, the only veteran. The team has a fine record, having won every eame played at home in Turner Hall, and most of the out-of-town games. In the Worcester C ' ounty tournament, they entered the semi- finals. Captain Kittredge was an inspiration to his team mates. His tireless efforts have been well rewarded. He was the individual high scorer of the year, and was selected as center on the All- Worcester County team by virtue of his all-around good work in the tournament. Kuettner. ’23 (1. f.). was an exceptionally good shooter and heady player. His loss to the team of 1923-24 will be keenly felt. IcXally. ' 25 (r. f ). was a steady passer, at all times re- liable. and a tremendous help to the team. Johnson. ' 26 (r. b.). showed great basketball ability for a green man. Before the end of the season his great defensive work and knowledge of the game made him a great asset to the team. Russell. ' 25 H. b.). was the surprise of the season. He learned quickly, and proved to be the main pillar of our defense. Lester Dyer ' 24. Stanley Wacora ' 24. and Gates ’25 gave a good account of themselves when called upon to fill the shoes of the regulars. All of these men should make the team next year. James IcHale ' 24. gave a good account of himself as manager and is largely responsible for the team ' s success . Losing only two men through graduation, the prospects of next year’s team are very bright. ro baskhali. At tile iH ' iiiiiiiiji; of tlie season the hasehall leaiii was liandi- eapped by the lack of veterans, the sann as the haskethal! team, the reater part of last year’s team either raduatin or leavinp: school. The season was brilliantly started by the defeat of both Sacred Heart Academy and St. .lohn’s II. S. If this fine work is kept vip the entire season, a chamjiionsh j) team is assured of. Kraemer ’28, Captain, is holdino down the back stop })osi- tion. He is a sure thrower, heavy hitter, and his knowle de of the game makes him one of the strongholds of the team. The pitching end of the game is well taken care of by McHale ’24, Johnson ’26, and Joyce ’26. Joyce, when not |)itching, fills in well at second because of Irs hitting ability. They sure have the stuff, and each one is regarded as a top notcher. Joyce, when not jutching, holds down second base in fine style. Scanlon ’24, the diminutive short-stop, has shown his worth by his snappy fielding and timely hitting. Kittredge, Clinton’s star athlete, has been used at first base this year to strengthen the infield. He has shown his ability to cover the initial sack in the same finished way he covered second in other years. S. Macora, ’24, alternated between right field and the back- stop position. He showed np excellently in both ]K)sitions, and his timely hitting made him a valuable man to the team. ] I. Gibbons, ’26, covered the center garden in fine style for a beginner. Ills spectacular catches nipped many a run in the bud. P. O’lMalley, ’26, showed his worth by his consistent field- ing and fine work on the keystone rack. F. Kerrigan covered right field, and brought in many runs by his timely hitting. J. Davis, Manager, kept the team supplied with bats, balls, etc. The school was very fortunate to secure such an ef- ficient manager, and his services have been fully appreciated by the four classes. We hope that next year’s team may find such an all-round good manager as this year’s team has enjoyed. Ill (ilRLS HxVSKETBALL The pros])eet for Uk ' team looked dark at llie l)egin- of the season, ovvin - to the lack of a door, and tlie scarcity of veterans. Turner Hall was procured, and under tlie skillful coachinjj of Miss Gibbons an excellent team was developed. Alice Hurley, Gaptain (c). Too mucb can not be said for this sturdy meml)er of the team. She was an excellent cen- ter and accurate shooter, a ty] ' )ical general of the team in every respect. Bessie Maitland ( ) ’28 played her position to j)erfection. She was a g’ood mixei and always came out with the ball. G. Saunders (b) ’25, a hetuly player and fast passer, she proved a wonderful asset to the team. B. McQnoid was the star of the team. Her si)ectacular shots held the spectators spellbound. Ethel Maitland ’24 was a steady passer, accurate shooter, and all-aro nd jjrood ])layer. Tna Pickles ’28 was the team’s wonder ]dayer for her size. Quick as iightning, she could dodge and outplay many larger opponents. Helen O’Toole ’24 and I I. Childs ’24 were always ready to do their j)art when called ui)on to help. I Iary Fadgen ’28 caused a severe loss to the team when she received doctor’s orders to stop ])laying. Helen Hoban, the worthy manager, deserves no little credit for the team’s success. 113 OUR SUPERLATIVE PEOPLE— ’23 1 . 2 3. 4. o. 6 . 7 . 8 . 9. 10 . 11 . 12 . 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20 . 21 . 22 . 23. 24.

Fare thee well, dear Clinton lligbj Partings hour is drawing nigh, There is a link within the past Tliat holds our friendship fast, ( ' hanging years shall never break ; Memories from us never take; Those happy days we’ll cherish still To clieer us as we climb Life’s hill, Chokus Farewell to Clinton High, We leave thee with a sigh ; Dear old class of twenty-three, We shall all remember thee, Th u art our guiding star. Thy light shall lead us far Over the future’s way, To nobler deeds each day. II. Now we tuim aside the past. Summoned by a bugle blast From golden hours, we proudly rise, Sad thoughts and parting sighs Vanish like the clouds at dawn; With new ho]ms we enter on A calmer sea, where stonns shall cease; A purer sky, where all is peace. V 115 COXCLUSIOX A period in our lives has been lived ; an im] ' )ortant phase of onr existence has been completed. We stand now upon the threshold of greater things; the next few years will de- termine to a great extent whether we shall win the smile of that fickle and merciless goddess whom men have named Success. Life, at its best, is a queer game. Although, nominally, all men are born equal, as a matter of fact, we are shunted into life willy-nilly with talents, great, small, and mediocre, and are compelled to play the Grim Game wherein natural alhlity is the deciding factor and Fate and ( ' ircumstance the referees. A few men, better gifted and more favored by luck, win to the heights ; but in proportion to the few who win. myriads must lose and accept the bitter fate of the losers. To escape generalities and become more specific, our class is a small example of the world in its larger sense. Within its limits are boys and girls possessed of marked ability and the things which tend towards success in life: and there. also, are others, who through no fa dt of their own. per- haps, will find the going rather roiurh and the great battle too much for their inadequate capacities. It is of them that we speak; and it is to the Sons of Fortune that our words are spoken. Too often the man who tastes of the sweet fruits of triumph, who basks in the roseate odory of achieved ambition, forgets, in his joy and in his pride, tlm lot of the loser — the b ' tter bed of his less fortunate fellows lie enjoys life because it has been good to him ; and he enjoys it with an unholy selfishness. There are some faults whmh are more despicable and cheaper than selfishness, hut if there are. they are very few. Whatever his other faults may be. lie who is helpful a nl who lends a hand to a weak and staggering brother is the last analysis, a truly good man. And as we turn down the Great Load let tlds Im our thought, dear class of ’23 : that we who are fortunate in the trim arena of life shall help those of us who are le- s fortunate; that no one of our classmates, no matter who he or she may be. .shall seek for a ' d and find his call un- answered. With this thought in m’nd. we will face the frav a united, loyal, and love-bound class — true gentlemen and gentlewomen. 116 OXFORDS and PUMPS $5,00 and $8.50 They fit when others fail.
