SUSAN D. SMITH As we passed along the corridor on the second floor we were always sure to be greeted with a pleasant smile from Miss Smith. She is one of our most pleasant and obliging teachers. We looked forward eagerly to the hap- py and useful hours spent in taking Library Lessons. It is with much re- gret that we leave Miss Smith and we are certain that whenever we think of her classes it will be with the most pleasant memories. ELIZABETH THOMPSON Few of us have had the pleasure of being under the guidance of this cap- able teacher as she entered Clinton High only about two years ago. How- ever, the neat caps and aprons made by her pupils and the delightful food that they cooked under her supervi- sion attracted our attention and admir- ation. As a teacher of History, Miss Thompson has gained many friends among her scholars to whom she has endeared herself by her charming ways. HANNAH M. WALSH Although Miss Walsh taught but Freshman and Senior English, she is the friend of every Senior whether we came under her guidance or not. Her study periods given over so kindly to our needs gained her many friends. The true friendliness which she showed to our class is shown by the fact that outside of class, we never failed to seek her advice concerning our fu- ture plans. So it is that with a fond farewell we wish her every happiness. 15

HENRY J. McSHERRY Shall we ever forget, Harry, the pa- tient, genial friend of the Seniors? Although when we entered his Chem- istry classes we had no knowledge of the difference between a mixture and a substance, we quickly learned that it was a pleasure to be taught mys- teries of that science under his super- vision. His ready wit, inexhaustible patience and eagerness to help erring- seniors make him a staunch friend of 1927. JOHN F. MITCHELL Mr. Mitchell is, in reality, “our” teacher; for he entered the portals of Clinton High with us and was our homeroom warden when we were sen- iors. “Did we learn from Mr. Mitch- ell?” We certainly did!” “Did we whisper and talk in the Hall?” “We certainly did not!” Because, the mo- ment we were so inclined, we would feel “Jack’s” penetrating glance upon us and instantly our minds would be- come fixed on far more important matters. Best wishes from 1927 Jack. ELIZABETH R. ROWAN The Seniors came under Miss Row- an’s control, chiefly, in the Lecture Room while reporting to Mr. Cobb. And did she control them? You bet she did! Miss Rowan had the intri- cate rules of French Grammar at her disposal and she sure did make those Seniors who came under her guidance absorb French like sponges. Miss Rowan will always be remembered and liked by the graduating class. 14

ELEANOR M. DRISCOLL The whole class did not come under Miss Driscoll’s supervision until Com- mencement Days began to draw near. Then didn’t we learn how to warble? You bet we did! Her kind and patient disposition has gained for her many friends. Her patience seemed, a great many times, without end, and we wish to thank her for the part she has played in making our “Great Day’’ a success. MARY T. GIBBONS “Who is the most popular teacher with the girls in Clinton High?” (Now girls, all in a chorus): “Mary T.” We all acknowledge that Miss Gibbons certainly did her utmost to make “gym” a pleasure, and she surely suc- ceeded. Miss Gibbons coached our , girl’s basket-ball team and we extend our thanks to her, for it was her coaching which enabled us to win the championship in our Junior year. Mary T. seemed more of a pal than a teacher and it is with regret that we leave her. ROLAND B. HOUSTON From Mr. Houston, we have learned that Mechanical Drawing and Shop Work can be made a pleasure to be enjoyed as well as a subject to be studied. His methods of teaching which were strict but instructive, caused us to have a thorough knowl- edge of that subject. It is with sor- row that we bid him farewell. May luck accompany any enterprise that he may undertake. 1 (
