“ laugh, for hope hath happy place within me.” MABEL ELIZABETH BUTTRICK “Betty” “Beth” Commercial Course Birthday: March 1. Favorite occupation: “Tuning in.” Fa- vorite expression: “No doubt.” Favorite drink: “T.” Favorite song: “When Lights Are Low.” We shall always associate Beth with smiles and laughter. And is it any wonder, for, was she not one of the merriest girls in the class? She was ready to laugh at a good joke anytime, and some- times when there was no joke at all. Of course, she always went everywhere with Helen and did all she could to help her ensnare the unsuspecting — . Sh-h-h ! You know, “two’s company and three’s a crowd,” but maybe Betty had ideas of her own in the matter after all. Studies? Beth usually knew what she was talking about in the classroom. Her course completed at Clinton High, she plans to ac- company Helen to Beckers. It is the fervent wish of every class- mate that her future life will be as full of sunshine as it was in C. H. S. 20

“A great man is one who affects his generation.’ WILLIAM THOMAS BURKE “Bill” “Billy” “Burkee” Football, 4; Student Staff, 1, 2; Editor-in-Chief of Class Book Technical Course Birthday: October 15. Favorite occupation: Racing the clock. Favorite expression, “I guess so.” Favorite drink: Milk. Favorite song: “When the Sun Goes Down.” Energetic, industrious and persevering, — these are a few of the good qualities we find in our true classmjate, Billy. Success en- folded him; he conquered where others have failed. This has been Bill’s record through the four years of his High School career. Billy was the brains of our class, not only for himself, but also without any home work prepared, Billy was always ready with for others. When some of us poor unfortunates came to school assistance. At the end of each month, the mail-carriers were never burdened with mail for Billy, but at the end of each quarter, the class should have helped him or hired some kind of a vehicle to carry home his testimonials. Billy didn’t spend all his time studying, he devoted much of it to sports, especially Football. You should see our boy during some of the games. Oh Boy! ! He was Editor-in-Chief of our class book and no little credit be- longs to him. Billy is preparing to enter Worcester Tech — and whatever Bill decides as his life work will bring him, by his efforts, to a successful and deserving goal. 19

“ hate nobody, am charity with the whole world” ANNA RITA CACCIALINO “Anri” “Annie” Basketball, 2, 4. Hiking Club, 3. Commercial Course Birthday: February 1. Favorite occupation : walking. Favorite expression: “Sakes, you’d a died.” Favorite drink: Lemon and lime. Favorite song: “Linger Awhile.” Ann is one of our champions when it comes to the thrilling game of basketball. Can we ever forget Ann as we saw her darting down the floor after the ball? Why no! Ann had some shot for that basket, all right. She has a cheerful disposition and always a smile. Although we shall not remember all those funny stories she was so fond of telling in the English class, we cannot forget the resulting merri- ment which burst out every now and then. Those fibs were quite original, too, something like her recitations. So, if Annie should take up writing novels, as the prophecy destines her, we can see where the future would spell success for her. But Annie thinks a teacher’s job would just about suit her, and so enters Worcester Normal this fall. Whatever she does, we feel that success will ultimately crown her efforts. 21
