Thus far, for four years, we of the C ' lass of 1928 , have trod much tlie same road together, and now we are come to the inevitable parting of the ways. All of ns will necessarily receive new im])ressions, make different accjuaintances and, throng ' ll experience, accinire broader and more widely varying views. d ' he ])nrpose of Memorabilia XV, is to jireserve and foster l)y ])leasant remembrance, the spirit of unity and fellowship established during these four years. The task of completing a volume of this kind is an arduous one, brought about l y much hard labor. However, ' e ask yon to consider it kindly, not as a literary effort but as an earnest desire to bind together the flowers of memory by the threads of com- radeship at dear old Clinton High. If this may be true, ve shall feel that our book has not been written in vain. 7 Memorabilia (0 KQ 8 Cliinitoe High School Tribute to the Faculty As we stand today on the tlireshold of the future we find in our hearts ining ' led feelings of liappiness and regret; ha])piness at the ])ros- pect of trying tliat road that stretclies st) alluringly before us; regret at the thought of leaving Clinton High and all she represents in ideals ' uid friendshi])S. Our ha])piness of today is due in no small measure to the ])atieut and unerring efforts of our teachers. It is they who have guided us over the rough and trying ] arts of our journey. It is they wdio have led us through — yes, and out of that dense and gloomy forest through which c� ne must travel before attaining one’s road. And it is thev to whom a now ex])ress our deep feelings of gratitude and indebtedness. We may liave so iin])eded them that their task was made harder, that the journey was made more trying. For this we ask their forgiveness. Vet regret must i)lay its ] art in this, our epilogue. We are leavirig Clinton High, that institution which has nourished us with her ideals and friendships. WA are leaving you, dear teachers; you, who have made that iustitutiou ; you who are that iustitutiou ; you who have moulded us with your ideals; you who have befrieuded us in our hard- ships. Wherein should we not feel regretful. Yet this must be “good- bye,” it is “good-l)ye. Our ])arting wish is that in the future your in- stitution will flourish, your ideals will l)e exalted, and your friendslujjs will be more uumerous, dear teachers. Memorabilia Eben S.

Your future calls You into the swirl of cities and of men; You will not come this way again. You touch my hand and speak sweet, awkward words Of thanks and parting. You will remember me As long as singing birds and stars shall be — And yet — You wi ll forget. 1 watch you go — I who have trembled for you, hoped, rejoiced. And stretched a careful finger foilh to guide you. Your soul is a clean, white book whose pages glow Scarlet and gold and blue — I shall not know The ending of the story therein voiced. Your soul is a fragile moth with pale gold wings. New — broken from its chrysalis; it clings Vibrant upon youth’s stem; 1 shall not see The beauty of your flight, radiant and free. Yonr soul is a delicate plant I have watched unfolding Green leaf by clear green leaf; But you will flower far from my beholding. So frail remembrance is, so rare, so brief. Your soul is a small brown bird whose hesitant flying I follow anxiously; I cannot shield Yon from rough winds and storm. You flutter on, A gleam of sunlight round you prophesying Your soaring strength. Across the ripening field You drift, and lift above the wood — on — on — until Yon flash beyond the hill — And you are gone. C 2 17 Memorabilia I prolor silent prmlencte to lociuacions lolly GLADYS ELEANOR ANDRISKl “Glady” “Glad” Commercial Course Varsity Basketball Team 4; Inter-Class Basketball Team 4; Hiking Club 1-2. This is “Gladdie,” seemingly the quietest girl in the class — hut don’t judge a hook by its covers. She’s just as noisy as anyone else when she gets in the gym. “Glad” was our star forward on the basketball team and was its mainstay. And could she play? We’ll say she could! Many were the times the hall was lightly and surely thrown into the baskets due to our “Glad’s” sureness at making baskets. And not only was she on the inter-class team hut also our varsity girls’ team, and what a fight our girls made on the Armory floor every Friday night before the big game commenced! “Gladdie” was a regular attendant at all the High School games. It just wouldn’t have seemed right without her. “Glad” and “Nancy” do their Latin together every morning between 7.40 and 8 o’clock. Maybe it’s because “Glad” went skating the night before. Our “Gladdie” is going to join the white-capped, white-aproned ranks. The song, “I Don’t Wanna Get Well,” will again he popular. Au revoir, “Glad,” the best wishes of ’28 go with you into the future. Favorite Expression — “Is that so?” Favorite Occupation — Eating candy. 18 C lliintoe Hii h School Promise is most given wliere the least is said GERTRUDE ALEXANDRIA BAIER “Ocity “Gertie Commercial Course Inter-class basketball, 4; Pageant. “Oh, Gertie, got an extra pencil?” That’s what greets “Gertie” every morn- ing, when she conies to school. Did you ever see her without one? She is known as the generous girl with plenty of pencils and xiickels. At recess, “Gert” is the center of popularity in the “grab-yonr-donghniit” circle. She is a model of silence in the Hall (after the last bell) but presto chango when she gets out. She likes studying, especially history, because she gets called on first and then has the ha-ha on the rest of ns. “Gert” is quite a basketball player, if you should ask the Juniors. She can sling more bluff to the girl she guards than a teacher before a test. “Gertie” has been taking commercial studies until this year, but then she dis- continued them probably because she intends to go into training. As a nurse, we know “Gert” will be a success. Favorite Expression — “Watcha ma’ call it.” Favorite Occupation — Being lazy. Co ' {o: 19 Memorabilia “.lo” always did lier best To make eaxdi seliool activity a success JOSEPHINE ADELINE BOYLAN “Joe” “Dearie” “Josie” “Wy-lets” College Course Associate Business Manager Class Book; Debating Society; Junior Prom Com- mittee; Minstrel Show 4; Cheer Leader. We now present our cheer leader, “Jo” Boylan. “Jo” and “Nancy” Tessier certainly know all the “ins” and “outs” of cheer leading. Not only do they keep the crowd in cheers but they also keep them in laughter. Everyone enjoys a game when “Jo” and “Nancy” are there and each lends his support to make the cheering a success. Last year “Jo” was one of the soloists in the annual Minstrel Show. She certainly was good and she carried out her part to perfection. We wonder where “Jo” got those Bowery characteristics that night. And who would think that “Wylets” are “Joe’s” favorite posies? Anyone who has ever been in “Jo’s” classes knows how she can add life to them. Every now and then, one hears a “Well!” coming out of a complete silence. That, of course, comes from “Jo.” She also knows how to get the funny side of Virgil and that is going some! But don’t get the impression that “Jo” is never serious. She studies and has her Ipssons every day. “Jo” is going way out West to Indiana next year. She intends to enter a scdiool out there. Of course, we know that “Jo” will be a faithful and loyal stu- dent to that school, as she was to Clinton High. She will also make everlasting friends there, as she has done here. Clinton High wishes you the best of luck and all the success possible in what- ever vocation you enter upon, “Jo.” Favorite Expression — “Wel-1-1-1 ! ” Favorite Occupation — Avoiding afternoon sessions. 20 Clintoe High School She lias only one enemy in the world — the cloc;k ANNE EDNA BOYLE “Anna” “Nan” Normal Course Junior Prom Committee; Minstrel Show 3-4; Glee Club 2-3-4; Book Staff Assistant Editor. When you gaze upon “Anna’s” picture, you get the impression that she is one of the dignified members of our class. But oh! how deceptive appearances can be, for hasn’t she selected the rear of the Hall for her permanent position during Senior year? “Anna” attends most of the school socials and has helped to make our minstrel shows a success with her solos, for can’t she sing! Have you ever heard her ' !’ Well, if you haven’t, you should, for “Anna” is one of the few good soloists of our class, Anne is also one of our apt pupils (especially in Chemistry), and is always willing to help us poor mortals in some difficult problem. Her recitations usually savor of study, but occasionally she fails to burn the midnight oil, and although she doesn’t seem to bother with the masculine element of this town, our suspicions are aroused and we wonder. Boston University is the next stopping place for Anne in her cpiest for higher learning. At least that is her choice at this time, — her ambition being to become a teacher. May all the success you deserve come your way, Anne. Favorite Expression — “Well, you never can tell.” Favorite Occupation — Racing the Clock. 21 Memorabilia ■Si®®®®®®® (’onimoH sense is not so coninion ANNA FRANCES BRODERICK “Annabelle” “Annabee” College Course Inter-class Dramatics 3; Debating Society Treasurer; Senior Show; Varsity De- bating Team; Honorary Member of Historical Society. Junior year a new member joined our ranks. Anna came to us from our neigliboring- town of Sterling. With her charming personality it did not take her long to make friends, and they were far from being few. Neither did it take her long to show us what she could do in the line of studies. Anyone who looks at The quarterly testimonial list knows what she can do. This does not mean, how- ever, that Anna is the class grind, far from it. She enjoys and has her good times as well as the rest of us. Sometimes she tells us about the parties she goes to. where she certainly enjoys herself. As a member of the Debating Team, Anna certainly deserves not a few words of praise. Previous to her advent into Clinton High she won prizes for speaking. This was a great asset to her in both debating and theatricals. Oh yes! Anna has theatrical ability, too. Her adaptation to character parts was perfection it- self. Much more could be added to Anna’s glory if space permitted. Anna plans to enter Worcester Normal and then to further her education at R. U. Law School. So don’t forget when you are seeking legal advice in the future That Anna is to be a lawyer. Best of luck from ’28. Favorite Expression — “Well, I’ll be .’’ Favorite Occupation — Thinking of a better argument than the other person’s. Ciiuitoe High School The girl who’s worth wiiile is liie girl who can smile, when yon in a Ford hi’ing her home DORIS MARIE CADARETTE “Dot” “Dearie” “Dorrie” Normal Course Junior Prom Committee 3; Junior Dance Committee 3; Minstrel Show 1-2-3; Glee Club 1-2; Hiking Club 2; Pageant 1. Doris is one of th§ gang up in the back of the hall, and she has always been one of the most popular girls in the class, as shown by her abundance of friends of both sexes. However, Doris devotes most of her attention to a certain party! And there’s hardly a week goes by without Doris coming in and describing a very heated argument that she’s had with some one — and, w ell, “it’s all over.” How- ever, the next day finds Doris in the best of spirits. Oh yes, they’re made up! Doris is very fond of dancing and never misses a dance up in the Towm Hall always accompanied by — oh well, the certain party. She is also very much interested in athletic activities, and is always seen at all the High School games at wdiich she sometimes gets rather excited and gives vent to her emotions by loud cheers, etc. Doris hasn’t quite made up her mind as to where she’ll continue her educa- tion, but she leaves C. H. S. wdth the best wishes for her success in wdiatever she undertakes. Favorite Expression — “I don’t wanna.” Favorite Occupation — Riding in a Ford. Memorabilia I’ll speak ill a moiistioiis little voice RICHARD BARNEY CAFFERELLI “Bony” Normal Course Inter-class Basketball 1. “Bony” is one of our most studious boys, and it is not an unknown fact that he stays up until the wee hours of the morning studying French, Greek, Latin, German, U. S. History, or what have j ou? Richard was a generous and kind helper to us when we were overcome by the Grammar Review in “Francois.” By his quiet nature and his helpfulness to us in time of need, Barney has made legions of friends who will always remember him. “Bony” plans to enter Fitchburg Normal and you know what that means. As a teacher we predict great things for Barney. All his attributes here in High School seem to be included in a teacher’s makeup. Just be yourself, Barney, continue your good work. Good luck in your chosen profession and don’t forget that the class of ’28 is pulling for you. Favorite Expression — “Really?” Favorite Occupation — Studying. 24 Cliieitoe Hi h School Dear Reader, we are no v about to introduce you to our “Lola.” She is cer- tainly our favorite ( Aubiirn-liaired) voung chemist, who wonders why “dilute H2 S04” burns. “Vi” is like the famous “We” — you never see her without her famous smile. She is everyone’s good pal. Nothing disturbs her, and her naive remarks and good humor make her a favorite with her classmates. “Cardie” is an artist at playing her “uke” and is a great little entertainer. Have you ever heard “Vi” sing? Those of us who have been fortunate enough to hear her will vouch for her in that capacity. “Vi” was a member of our Glee Club, and also was in the Minstrel Sho ¥ Chorus in her Senior year. Viola’s great ambition is to have her name cards read, “Miss Viola Card, R. N.” Viola has planned to enter the Hospital later and we are sure she will make a splendid nurse, and succeed in making her patients better, happier, and brighter in her presence. Farewell, dear “Vi,” may your life be just one long laugh. Sincerest wisln;s from your classmates of 1928. Here she comes — there she goes i- VIOLA BEATRICE CARD “Lola” “Vi” General Course Gym Exhibition 1-2; Glee Club 2-3; Minstrel 4.

Member When “Midge” was a freshman very little was heard from her as far as talkiiig was concerned. Yet, then, and thiougli her four years, as her “testies” have shown, she has proved one of the most brilliant in ’28. But Sophomore year she showed ns how lovable, joyous and witty she could be. These characteristics have continued through her high school years, and we know they shall carry her hai)pily and proudly through life. “Marge” has always been strangely attracted to athletics. Not so much that she enjoyed taking part in them as she did observing them. Whenever there was a C. H. S. game “Midge” was always there rooting a wee bit harder than the rest. We wonder why? “Margie” says that her favorite occupation is driving the Bnick. And almost every afternoon one may see that she is not far from the truth for she usually has the car out for its daily tuning up. Her helpful motto was “Work before pleasure” and she was never content un- less all her subjects were thoroughly absorbed. But after her work was finished she heartily enjoyed herself. Marjorie plans to enter Wellesley next year preparatory to teaching French. If her “right man” doesn’t come along we know her career will be a huge success, yet we trust all her cares will be little ones. Best luck and good fortune from ’28. Favorite Expression — “What day is it today?” Favorite Occupation — Driving the Bnick. Clinton High School ©©©©© I’m a bold. I)ad man JOHN JAMES CECCHINI “Bull” “Doc” “Chick” College Course Orchestra 1-2-3-4; Inter-class football 3-4; Debating Society. “Next!” We open the story of John’s life with one of his own favorite say- ings, for John’s one of our tonsorial artists at which trade he will continue to grind out an education. John showed the stuff that was in him when he learned a trade which would give him some return, while we poor mortals are just as far from any earning capacity as ever. “Chick” is one of the easy going members of the class not seeming to have a care in the world, surprising both us and the teachers with brilliancy one day, and the opposite, the next. He’s one of the best known members in the class and surely no one could find a truer and better classmate. “Chick” was one of the regulars on our class football teams and did his share in stopping the opponents from piling up a score, he receiving as his reward for faithful services only a few bumps and bruises. And did you ever hear “Chick” play the violin — Oh! but you must, for as a member of the C. H. S. school orchestra he played for graduation, etc., for the past few years. “Chick” will complete his education at Tufts (we I)elieve he’s to be a doctor) and he takes with him, on leaving Clinton Fligh the hopes of the class for a suc- cessful career. Good Luck, “Doc.” Favorite Expression — “OKMNX.” Favorite Occupation — Selling hair tonic to bald-headed men. Memorabilia (leiiteel in personage, conduct and equipage HAZEL RUTH CHANDLER “Petite” “Shorty” Commercial Course Minstrel Show 4; Hiking Club 1-2-3; Glee Club 3; Typist, Class Book. Quietly and earnestly, Miss Hazel has worked at her lessons and she has won worthy marks during her four years at Clinton High. “Shorty” has given many people the impression of being very quiet, but any- one who is intimately acquainted with her, knows better. She certainly shows speed in her Stenography Class, both in taking dictation and in transcribing it. In her Bookkeeping Class she was usually the first to find a trial balance, then the next morning everyone would have one. Hazel has always been a good rooter at all Clinton High School games. Much of the real work of the class book, that of typing, was done by Hazel, with her associates. The character of this work you can judge for yourself by glancing through the book. The Class of 1928 extends to her its most sincere thanks for her part in making Memorabilia XV what it is. Her whole ambition is to be “Somebody’s Stenog.” We wish you good luck for the future, Hazel; just persevere and success will come your way. Favorite Expression — “My Godfrey.” Favorite Occupation — Powdering Nose. 28 Clietoe High School To see her is to like her, to know her is to love her MARION LOUISE CHASE “Buddy” “Marrie” College Course Editor-in-Chief, Class Book; Senior Show; Inter-class Dramatics 1; Debating Society; Honorary member of Clinton Historical Society, and Women’s Club. Since the time Marion entered High School, she has been “Buddy” to every- one. Aside from being one of the most popular girls in her class, she has a very high rating in her studies. She was chosen as an honorary member of the Women’s Club and the Historical Society. When “Buddy” fails to recite her les- sons, something surely must be wrong. But “Buddy” does not spend all her time pursuing her scholastic career. She never fails to attend all the High School games and good times. She is a clever little actress and she is one reason why the Senior Show this year was such a great success. She is also Editor-in-Chief of the Class Book. We won’t have to say much about that for we can just take a look at the book. And don’t forget “Buddy” drives a Packard! Between two and three o’clock in the afternoon she may be seen driving around town. She seems to visit CERTAIN sections of the town quite frequently. Marion looks forward to her English classes with a great deal of pleasure. course we all know it’s because she is so fond of English! It is also reported that she intends to be an English teacher. If that is true, everyone knows she will be a successful one. After High School, “Buddy” intends to go to Wellesley. There, as here, we know that she will make many friends who will never forget her personality, her pleasant smiles and her witty remarks. Your classmates of 192S send you their best wishes of good fortune in the years to come, “Buddy.” Favorite Expression — “Quick! Who’s that?” Favorite Occupation — Driving a Packard. 29 Mcimorabiilia Ui)()ii wluit meat dolli this our Ca(isar teed, tliat he hatli grown so great DONALD SAWYER CHILD “Stretch” “Donny” “Fuzz” Technical Course Class Book Staff; Varsity Football 2-3-4; Varsity Baseball, Assistant Manager 3; Varsity Baseball, Manager 4; Varsity Basketball 1-3-4; Class Basketball 2; Senior Show; Inter-class Dramatics 2-3-4; Minstrel Show 3; Junior Prom Committee. Ill looking over the list of “Doiiiiy’s” achievements, we find that those along athletics and dramatic lines predominate. On the football field for the last three years we have had the lienefit of “Don’s” lanky arms particularly in the position of tackle, and it is with a feeling of great relief that we have seen him gently en- circle the heels of some enemy halfback ' as he was about to break away. On the basketball court his length of figui ' e was a big asset and helped him greatly in getting the tap and caging baskets. No less important than his athletic achievements are his accomplishments on the stage where he has made quite a name for himself and done much to help along the dramatic prestige of the class. “Stretch’s” plans for the future have changed quite frequently of late. At one time, according to renorts from French R he was going to get himself a herd of cows and settle down to the quiet and uneventful life of a cowboy out in the golden West. Howf ver, in a recent interview he let it bp knowii that such rumors were unfounded. A short while ago we thought that “T � onnv” had “Sea-fever” but this ambition to become a sailor also seems to have disanneared. In all probability he will go to Exeter and thence to Harvard vdiere we trust the success which has accompanied him in High School will attend him. Favorite Expression — “Give ‘Fuzz’ a shot.” Favorite Occupation — Waiting for “Bottles.” io ?Q 30 Clietoe High School Inter-class Dramatics 2; Debating Society 3; Glee Club 2; Minstrel Show 2; Senior Librarian Debating Society. There is no need to introduce oiir reader to Mary, for who doesn’t know her? Mary is one of onr tallest girls. She is full of good nature and even when she is not in view, her hearty laugh can ho heard ringing out from some secluded corner of the Hall. Her generous nature and her willingness to take a joke as well as to give one, have endeared hei‘ in tlie hearts of her classmates. Mary is always the center of a group clamouring for help in German transla- tion, for she is one of our best pupils. When Mary is called upon in class, every- one settles hack in relief, for she can always be depended upon, either for recita- tion or for — well, what other device is frefpienlly resorted to l)y us seniors? Have yon ever seen Mary act — no, not in class, hut in Dramatics? Well, if yon haven’t, yon certainly have missed something, foi- Mary displayed nnnsnal talent during the Inter-class shows when we were Sophomores and Juniors. Don’t forget either, that we won the cnp during onr Sophomore year. Mary intends to he a nurse and plans to enter Georgetown Surgical School for Nurses. Wishes for the best of hick go with yon, Mary. She was ipiite stndions so it seemed; wise, fair spoken, and esteemed. MARY ELEANOR CONLON “Molly Normal Course Favorite Expression — “Just a second.’’ Favorite Occupation — “Roamin’ around.’’ 31 Mcoiorabilia I, like (kiesar, liavc ambilion. Yet it’s made ot “sterner stuff” WILLIAM PAUL CONSTANTINO “Billy” “Mike” “Willie” College Course Editor-in-Chief Class Book; Senior Show; Debating Society 4; of Historical Society. Honorary Member At last we come to “Willie” the versatile member of our class. For Shakes- peare had nothing on our “Bill” when it comes to showing “universality” because “Willie” has attained success in dramatics, arguing, studies, or what have you. As an actor “Con” needs no introduction for who will ever forget his acting as Mike Ross, the villian, in the Senior Show. And what a deadly combat with Child! But in his lighter moments “Willie” is quite a humorist. As a member of th ' famous comedy team of O’Toole and Constantino he has been the sensation of the class this year. Miss Kerrigan will testify to that. But “Willie’s” activities are not limited. To him belongs the success of our Class Book for he was Editor-in-Chief. ITis great efforts to make Memorabilia XV a fitting memory of the Class of 192S have been crowned with success. “Bill’s” fiery ambition takes him to the portals of “.Jawn” Harvard and we are certain that the energy and studiousness that marked his path through Clinton High will carry him through college and to fame. Best success to you, “Bill” from the Class of ’28. Favorite Occupation — Asking questions in class. Favorite Expression — “Whaddya mean?” 32 Cliinton Hi h School Here we have “Pete,” a member of the class who has been very active in inter-class activities. He participated in inter-class football and basketball. Peter has been one of oiir best right guards and it is unfortunate that he did not try for the varsity where he would he sure to succeed. “Pete” shines on the grid- iron and it has been noticeable that the opponent’s plays were seldom directed through Peter’s position. “Pete” is quite popular, his ability to take a joke as well as to give one and other characteristics of a good nature having, no doubt, something to do with it. He has never refused some struggling Junior or Sophomore assistance in their studies. In the chemical laboratory, Peter is an expert (althongh we must a.d- mit that the spots and scars on the walls of the Lab. are due partly to “Pete’s” at- tempt to invent some new chemical compound). Rut his class affairs are not always attended with such disastrous results for “Pete” seems to get along without much difficulty in his suhiects. He minds his own business and devotes his recess and other spare time in apparently deep reveries and silent contemplation, the subject of which he has never divulged. Peter is undecided, as yet, where to go. hut whatever your ambitions and wherever your destination may he, Peter, we know vou’ll reflect nothing but glory on ’28 and C. H. S. A youth of lalior with an age of ease PETER HENRY DESPOTOPULOS “Pete” College Course Class Football 2-3-4; Class Basketball 2.

Meimorabiilia Holds out Ills manly beard lor thee to i)luck THOMAS ALPHONSE DUGGAN “Tad” “Duggie” College Course Varsity Football 1 -2-3-4 ; ; Varsity Baseball 1-2-3-4; Varsity Basketball 1-3-4; Captain Varsity Basketball 3-4. Wow! who’se driving that Studebaker? It’s Tommy Duggan, Clinton High’s star athlete. Football, basketball or baseball, it’s all duck-soup for “Tiger.” For four years “Tom” has been a mainstay on all our athletic teams, and his good work and clean playing was rewarded by his election to the captaincy of basket- ball for two successive years. “Tom” was always one of our fastest forwards and his versatility in the court game was useful to our coach. “Duggy” called the sig- nals in football, acting as the field general for the last few years and his work was always of the best. In baseball “Tom” is one of the hurling staff. Lets hope lor a brilliant athletic future for him. Every night “Duggy” faithfully carries home a miniature library and just as faithfully places them on his desk the next morning. In the meantime he oc- casionally studies them, and moreover “Tommy” always knows his lessons. (Ask Mr. Comiskey to tell another). Thomas is quite a lion among the ladies both in school and out, — mostly out. He shakes a mean ankle and knows his dance-hall tactics. “Tommy’s” future is undecided but we all know he’ll be a success in what- ever he undertakes. So long “Tommy,” best of luck from ’28. Favorite Expression — “Hello! Wot’s this?” Favorite Occupation — Trying to study. 34 Clietoe High School In thy fnce I see the map of lioiior, truth, ami loyalty EDWARD RICHARD DURKIN “Duke” College Course Class President 3-4; Inter-class Football 3-4; Senior Show; Debating Society: Minstrel Show 1; Junior Prom Committee; Honorary Member, Historical Society. And now gentle reader permit ns to present “Eddie” onr sterling chief execu- tive. “Ed” is one of the most, yes, the most popular boy in the class for he was chosen to lead the destinies of nineteen twenty-eight, both in our junior and senior years. Through his efforts, our Junior Prom proved to be a big success and our Senior Show went over big, thanks to his ceaseless viligance and supervision. “Duke” is also one of our humorists, one of the Buster Keaton type. His so- ber faced jokes generally throw a class into hysterics and his keen wit, especially in Ph-ench, always relieved the tension. The Keith circuit manager would do well to look our comedian over. “Ed’s” humorous disposition has been already displayed on the stage for did he not bring down the house as “Sergeant Tim” in the Senior Show? In spite of all his activities, “Itld” is very studious and generally finds time enough to pursue the gentle arts of study.

She is very quiet in her classes, so quiet that we often wonder if the teachers forget to call on her. It is rumored that in bookkeeping she is a shark. “Jeanie” never has to worry about handing her work in on time. “Gene” possesses an nnnsnally sweet disposition and never have we known her to get any way peeved at any of her classmates. Although she is usually quiet, yet, occasionally, in a certain room when the teacher was lecturing, “Gene” entertained those fortunate enough to sit near her. She expects to find her future work in an office as a private secretary. If she applies herself to her future work as she has to her school work here, she need not worry about her future success, for it’s application to one’s work that makes the really successful man or woman. We are sure she will be successful in what- ever work she chooses and the best wishes of her class go with her.

We would he justified in saying that she is as popular with the girls as the hoys. She is always cheerful and happy and does her best to keep others in the same mood. Alice has only one had failing that we know of, and it is this, she has a weak- ness for arguing with Mr. ? You see we are not mentioning any names be- cause it isn’t necessary. Alice’s debates have served as a popular form of amuse- ment for the rear of the hall. Many times they were the cause of a sermon on “No talking after the last hell.” Nevertheless studies never interfered with “Al’s” pleasures. She may he seen at all the functions in the Town Hall, and elsewhere, with a “Certain Party.” “Al” sometimes helps us to eiijoj ourselves in the Town Hall. She has great theatrical ability and as leading lady in our Senior Show she will never he forgot- ten. She is an exponent of the adage that “Actresses are horn and not made.” “Cream Puffs” plans to he a hairdresser and have a Beauty Shoppe of her own.

All of us are acquainted with “Eddie’s” athletic achievements. His prowess on the gridiron and basketball court is deserving of special mention. It was “Gibbie” who pulled the game with the Sophomores off the ice by a spectacular 60-yard run. It is “Eddie” who has been playing steady basketball for Clinton High seconds all season. And it will be “Ed” who will perform on some lucky team next season unless our calculations are amiss. “Ed” does not like to have it known that he is a good student, but the fact is he can’t help himself. Although he does not have to use a basket to carry home his testimonials still “Ed’s” marks were high enough to carry him through High School without much worry, Such is this unusual student who will enter “Missouri Agricultural College” in the fall.

One of her favorite occupations is telling us what she did the night before. Three guesses what it was. Mary is also proficient in manufacturing alibies. She always had some alibi to get out of a “scrape” and especially out of Gym. She has favored it with her presence not more than ten times this year. How does she do it? We would like to know. Besides relating her experiences and concocting alibies, “Lou” studies occasionally. Not like most of us she does not need to burn the midnight oil, a;- her marks show. Who said the prophets were dead? Evidently they didn’t count on “Mamie’s” showing up. If her prophecies come true we’re all sure to be successes in life. “Lou” can strut her stuff on the stage, too.

Still he has gained from his associations with ns during our four years in High School the distinction of ))eing the quietest boy in the class. For all that, “Bill” is certainly a regular fellow and takes as much interest in school and class affairs as any of us. You can always see him in the “gang” during recesses aim after school — but he’s by no means considered an intruder there. But still he does not go around promisculously but always maintains the same quiet, unassuming attitude which demands attention when he voices an opinion. “Bill” is a plugger and that type invariably gets ahead and usually lands somewhere far in the lead of the type of youth who’s always blowing. In com- pleting the College course he has had no difficulties, has caused no troubles, and has been a tried and true friend of teachers and pupils alike. During our Sophomore year you will remember we had Inter-class tiasketball in that so called gym of ours. You may recall that “Bill” was a member of our team of that year. That shows Class spirit doesn’t it, and only last year at our first annual Field Day — didn’t “Bill” strut his stuff on the cinder track? They cal] that school spirit, for it takes a little loyalty to the class and school to attempt to defeat our star athletes. Keep plugging “Bill” for it is the plugging type that the real great come from.

No doubt you all know “Eddie,” one of the most active members of our class. Just get into conversation with “Ed” and before long you will have made up your mind that he is one of the wittiest and most intelligent persons you have ever met. This winning way of his, however, isn ' t restricted to fellow pupils, for the teachers have come under his spell also and consequently he enjoys good companionship and friendship with them. As “Eddie’s” list of activities shows, he is really the most versatile member of the class. He is the exceptional jack-of-all-trades for he masv ' ers all that he pursues. Whether it’s in the intellectual or athletic line, he makes it a point to establish a good reputation fo r himself. As an actor he is “sans pareil.” He has proved himself indispensable to the success of any and every dramatic presenta- tion of the class (for “Eddie” has been in every show of ours). Then again he has been an important factor in the move to usher a rennais- sance of debating into the school. He worked hard and, as results show, success- fully, for if all Clinton High’s representatives do as well in future debating tourna- ments as “Eddie” has done in our first, the Hall will be adorned with more cups. “Eddie” intends to follow the pursuit of business in the capacity of a big bank- er and we of ’28 are confident of his success for he is going to add to the well es- tablished foundation acquired at Clinton High an extended business training at Harvard University.

We now introduce Catherine, one of onr carefree classmates. One’s first in.- pression is likely to be that Catherine is quiet, but after one’s with her for a few ininntes she proves to be quite the opposite. She is full of “Pep” and noted for her sunny disposition, for who ever saw “Caddy” without her bright smile? “Caddy” doesn’t believe in studying too hard or worrying about her marks, for she always succeeds in passing. She is one of those bright pupils, who can smile and go through the hardest questions whether in U. S. History or in French III, whereas we, who have to plug all the time, look with envy upon her. “Red” is quite a sport, and is very alert as regards “Athletics,” for she sure can get around and pass the ball, as we remember in our Sophomore inter-class games in basketball. “Caddy” also has a liking for skiing, tennis, and swimming. All these things we can class under one head, and the reason why she likes them. Catherine intends to honor Sargent’s School of Physical Education with her presence, and with her sunny disposition the class of ’28 knows that Clinton High will be ably represented at Sargent’s and later on when she becomes a Physical Instructor.

Not only in action but in appearances “Dex” is the regular hero type. All the girls agree that “He’s some sheik” and the boys all say he’s a “regler feller.” He is one of the most sociable of our boys and can be found at all the School Dances making them so much the more pleasant tor all. Dexter will tell you he isn’t very enthusiastic over his studies (who is?) but he certainly enjoyed his High School days and so considers it time well spent. Of course there are days when he is enticed by the “Great Outdoors.” ’Tis then he is missing from home and school and later has a very interesting conversation at the office (and why?) His classmates and all who know him will follow his future with interest al- though his vocation is not decided. He will probably wear the blue uniform of Uncle Sam’s mail carriers and help carry the flunks to other students. But what- ever profession he will choose we know it will be a success.

For instance, ability is bound to come to the fore on the football field and “Joe” played on three of onr class football teams. He was our field general during the last year and al- though we were not victorious “Joe’s” work for the class was auspicious. Although “Joe” was never a grind, he always seemed to know his lessons. And he wasn’t averse to imparting his knowledge to the rest of us “who were out last night.” His studiousness and abilities always seemed to win the teachers’ confidence which couldn’t be said of the rest of us. It must be a gift but “Joe” claims it is only luck. “Joe” is bound for Holy Cross College where his intellectual powers will surely carry him to success.

Here we have a student who commands the respect of his classmates. In his quiet unassuming way he has won the admiration of his teachers because of his class room ability, and his high scholarship has been the means of helping many a classmate along the weary way. Although the gridiron and the baseball field have not claimed the services of John, he has ever shown his willingness and spirit in helping to place Clinton High near the top. However, John also showed his class spirit and did his best at every inter-class sport in which our class participated. He was one of our backfield quartet on this year’s class football team and took a few bumps for the honor and glory of the class. As an associate editor of our book, John proved himself a faithful and efficient worker, much of the editorial work falling on his shoulders. There is sure to be a cordial welcome for him wherever he may continue his studies and his friendly disposition is sure to carry him upward.

However, it may he that Stanley’s inconspicuous nature keeps him from coming into the limelight. “Stan” is one corking football player. Anyone who opposed him in the inter- class games will testify to that. Boy! what a mean tackier. “Stan” would surely make the varsity if he did not devote all his spare time in putting the daylight in the Clinton Daylight Store. In his odd moments Stanley plays the violin and as a member of the High School Orchestra he has aided in dispensing charming music at graduation times, etc. Stanley is undecided as to what his vocation is although he shows a leaning toward a technical education, but whatever he undertakes he will have the best wishes of the class of 1928.

In all probability we had spent the evening studying while Margaret, — but — check. “Peg” is just over-brimming with good nature, hut she scarcely ever allows it to come to the surface except when “one of the l)unch” begins sight translation in German. Margaret was a great find in the basketball field and certainly made a won- derful hit in that sport. We shall always remember “Peg” as a happy, carefree, and winsome member of the class, for, in fact, we cannot picture her in any other light. Margaret intends to take up nursing and pursue her studies at the St. John’s Hospital.

There is a good reason for this, and here it is. Wherever “Tommy” is, there is sure to be some fun. “Tommy” has certainly kept the faculty guessing since he matriculated in C. H. S. Put he knows when to be serious and he is just as capable of filling this part as ho is of l)eing the life of the party. For the last few years, “Tom” had us thinking that he was girl-shy, but he certainly pulled a fast one on us, for “Pickle” is a firm believer in the old saying, “A prize worth getting is one worth waiting for.” And he certainly got his prize in the class of ’31. “Tommy” is also quite a dancer. The girls say he shakes a wicked instep — and how! The click of the ivory balls is enchanted music to this boy. More than once the click of the ivories drowned out the tick of the clock about 1.30 P. M. — and when it was too late to go to school, “Tom” just stayed at his game. “Tommy” plans on entering the business world and we feel sure that Wall Street will be as glad to get him as we are sorry to lose him.

Alice is one of onr quiet as well as small girls. The quiet ones are few and far between but there are exceptions to every r ule. But we sometimes wonder if there isn’t something misleading about her quietness as the old saying tells ns “Still runs the water where the brook is deep.” There is one consolation in being small, however, because they say that good things come in small packages. Some- times Alice breaks her silence in Room 8, but maybe that is the result of environ- ment. (Anyone who took French Period D understands what is meant). Her popularity among her classmates was shown by their choice of “Al” for Secretary. She has proved herself capable and efficient. Can Alice do French? She will often be found in the rear of the study hall at recess, helping some poor unfortunate or delinquent student with his or her “Les Miserables.” Alice intends to be a nurse and we are sure that her patients will be glad that this was her vocation.

There were times when George would seek the shrine of Terpsichore, and there glide over the waxen floor with all the grace and poise imaginable. Now, when the staunch associations of four years become a memory, we realize that we are taking with us into the world a youngster whose untiring ef- forts have ever been directed to the assistance of his classmates.

She contributed much to the success of all these, the former and latter winning first prize. “Pete” is not only excellent in dramatics but also in athletics. In the Track Meet during our Junior year, Mildred won the high-jumping contest. All Pnis participation in outside events does not keep “Pete” from being at the head of the class with regards to marks. Even though Mildred graces the City of Boston every week-end she manages to have her homework done on Monday. She has also been very popular at the social events.

His athletic ability is shown by the fact that he has made the football, basket- ball and baseball teams and has in each branch given a good account of himself. On the football field in his position as quarterback, on the basketball court as for- ward, and on the diamond at third, he has earned foi‘ himself the reputation of be- ing a good athlete. His efforts along dramatic lines have been no less successful than those on the athletic field and it is in a great measure due to his effort, that we owe the success of 192S’s recent productions. Although “Itchy’s” plans for the future are somewhat vague, we think we can safely assume that he will continue his academic pursuits at New York University or Syracuse where he is already somewhat acquainted and it is the wish of this class that he will be as successful as he has been in High School.

Of course her season ticket takes her to all our Friday night games — and. Oh! what a rooter! Why, the games couldn’t possibly have been successful if “Curlie” hadn’t attended them.

Our daily gatherings around her desk at about eight o’clock verified this. Even Virgil came in for a little enlightmenf from our “ray.” Every quarter we see Margaret take a walk up to Mr. Cobb and relieve him of a number of “testies.” We know by the number of “testies” she gets that she must be a welcome sight to the teachers, since most of us are “tres stupides” — at least according to our “petite institutrice.” Margaret has intentions of listening to a future generation reciting their A B C’s. We certainly envy them and almost wish we might be starting in agaiji with Margaret to guide our little feet.

Lo, behold, see, and all other such expressions, for here is the rip-roaring, fast-thinker, fast talker, and what not of the class. We don’t know how he gets that way, but he surely is there in his line. “Jack” has been one of our outstanding lights in English throughout his course and has shown promising ability as a poet and prose writer. An assuring climax came during his senior year when he combined the two classes of litera- ture and produced a masterpiece of an essay to win the much coveted prize awarded for the best essay on Abraham Lincoln. Another thing that helped him greatly in this undertaking was his knowledge of History which he was alwaj’S able to master. Then again “Jack’s” dash, grit and fight made him a wonderful asset to our inter-class football team. We don’t doul)t he would have made the varsity if ne hadn’t been too light.

There was nothing to bar him froin making our varsity debating team, by no means. “Jack’s” got his eye on the teaching profession and we of ’28 rest assured that there will be no slip-ups; he’ll go through with flying colors as he usually does.

The quotation fits Emma to a “T” except for the “short.” Far from being- short — she is one of 192S’s tallest as well as prettiest girls. However, neither of these advantages possessed by “Petite Emma” are what distinguishes her to her fellow classmates. If there’s laughter in a room, you can assure yourself Emma’s there. Some- times, however, she tries to be serious and succeeds for a few minutes. Emma has taken up the Normal Course. Perhaps this means something and perhaps it doesn’t. However, if perchance, in the distant future, Emma should be engaged in teaching “ABC,” she’ll he successful at it, according to our calcula- tions. Emma is rather well versed in the terpsichorian art and is seldom absent from the school functions where she is always accorded a merry welcome; indeed her absence would be keenly felt by some. “Emmy” is rather undecided as to where she will continue her pursuit of knowledge but we can bank on it that wherever she goes she will be an honor to dear old C.

Isn’t she nifty?” These are the exclamations, no doubt, of any of the casual readers of this book, when they come upon “Midge’s” picture. Did you ever see “Midge” without at least three boy friends around her? We didn’t. The boys certainly show good taste! As a model and as an actress “Midge” c ertainly showed her stuff, judging from her activities along these lines. Oh yes, and she also served as our capable Vice-President in our Sophomore year. Marjorie is one of these care-free, happy go lucky persons and is never seen with the blues. With this disposition “Midge” naturally doesn’t worry mucli about lessons. Oh yes, she just loves dancing and is seen at quite a number of our socials having a wonderful time. “Midge” has not decided definitely as yet as to what her career will he but she certainly leaves us carrying away the best wishes from 1928.

In the short two years she has been with us, she has found a permanent place in the heart of the class. he has worked diligently, and has successfully overcome the obstacles which confront late arrivals. Mary has not entered into many of our school activities but we know the reason for that. It takes all of one’s time in traveli ng to and from our suburbs, for you know that Mary is a Bolton ite and that city is quite too far away to walk back for extra activities. So we’ll excuse you, Mary, for we know that you would if you could. By the way, come to think of it, Mary is herself a chauffeur and a glance at her favorite occupation is enough to know that her time isn’t all spent in making a “lady out of Lizzie.” We hear that besides being valet to a real car, Mary also “chaufs” a real typewriter and she certainly can click off the keys in great style. Her nickname should have been “Speed.” As to Mary’s future, she has never broadcast to us her plans, but judging from her proficiency on the typewriter we wouldn’t be a bit surprised to find her continuing along that line. A girl like you, Mary, needs few prayers for future success, for the stuff you have shown during your stay here satisfies us that you will succeed. Good luck to a suburbanite.

Clietoe High School Siicli popularity must be deserved JAMES EDWARD McNALLY “Jim” “Jimmie” “Mack” College Course Varsity Baseball 1-2-3-4; Varsity Basketball 3-4; Varsity Football 3-4; Inter-class Basketball 2: Inter-class Football; Junior Prom Committee. Behold one of the premium athletic members of ’28. “Mac’s” athletic prow- ess may be learned by merely glancing over his list of activities. Who can for- get the wonderful catches made by our first baseman? However, his ability as n first baseman is not the only point that we shall remember. His fine work as tackle on our football teams caused him to be considered one of their outstanding members. During our last two successful basketball seasons we point with pride to “Jim’s” outstanding work as guard, bringing honor upon himself and Clinton High. But don’t get the impression that “Mac” excells alone in athletics. He is not the strong bodied, light headed type. We notice that “Mac” and a certain petite young lady in “U. S.” have a great time razzing each other, not always about history, oh! no! “Mac” must have forgotten dancing when he put down his favorite occupa- tion. He is seen wending his way ouite often in the general direction of our leading nearby terpsichore parlors. Needless to say he excells in this, as practice makes perfect. “Mac” intends to go to “Prep” school before entering college. What is our High School’s loss is “Prep” School’s gain in more ways than one. Good luck and the blessing of Clinton High go with you, “Mac.” Favorite Expression — “Will ya.” Favorite Occupation — Stabbing “Itchy’s” wild ones. 61 Mcmiorabillia Nothing great was ever a(;hieved without enthusiasm THOMAS McNALLY “Tommy” “Skin” “Mac” College Course Varsity Basketball 4; Varsity Baseball 4; Inter-class Football 1-2-3-4; Class President 1927; Inter-class Basketball 1-2. Next, folks, we turn the spot-light upon “Skin,” and we see before us a tall, cheerful youth who has made a name for himself in athletics during his four years at C. H. S. “Tommy” showed his athletic ability as center of our flashy, fast stepping, quintet. We will never forget his spectacular playing against Framingham High School which enabled us to overcome h ramingham in three overtime periods and finally defeat them. This is only one of the many instances of his clean, spec- tacular playing. “Mac” had a way of making us forget our troubles, and wherever he was. (here was bound to be merriment, and anyone knows that if there was any “deviltry” going on, “Skin” had either started it or was there cheering on the side lines. (’. H. S. is surely losing a fine fellow and whatever “Tom” chooses for his vocation in after life, we know he will be a success. Good Luck, “Tommy,” from ’28. Favorite Expression — “Know any more fast ones?” Favorite Occupation — Kidding Child. 62 Napoleon was great in spite of his height JOSEPH ANTHONY McNAMARA “Mackie” “Joe” “Mac” College Course “Minstrel Show 2. “Joe” is one of the diminutive members of our class but like Napoleon, “Mac” has some great qualities. First, “Joe” is quite a humorist as everybody who saw his work in the Minstrel Show will testify. Even off stage “Joe’s” dry humor is coiitiiiually keeping the class in smiles. While “Mac” does not need a, basket to carry home his testimonials, stil “Joe’s” marks were always high enough to satisfy the teachers that he was faith- ful in doing his work. “Joe” is one hoy who was never overcome with awe in the presence of a teacher. In fact, “Mackie” becomes rather pugnacious for he tries to pick an ar- gument especiallj with Mr. Hynes. And it is not necessary to add that “Joe” does not always come out with his point of view completely crushed. “Joe” is considered a quiet hoy because of his inconspicuousness in school but those of us who know him intimately will declare that he is a sleeping lion. “Mac’s” plans for the future are indefinite but whatever he undertakes he will have the best wishes of the class of 1928. Stay up “Mac.” Favorite Expression — “Oh, you babe.” Favorite Occupation — Wondering and worrying. 63 Memorabilia Helter to l)e small and shine than to he sreat and east a shadow MARY CECELIA McGINNESS “Mac” “Stuffy” Commercial Course Glee Club 4; Minstrel Show 2; Junior Dance Committee. “Stuffy” is one of the smallest members of our class, but she’s one of the big “noises,” especially at the II. S. games. Nothing would have prevented Mary from being among those present. She was so enthusiastic, she often ran into the field as if to help the boys make a touch down. Ropes, fences or anything else did not stop Mary from leaving the rest of us and forming a cheering squad all by her- self. We feared for her safety, many a time, wdien she had to run back to the sidelines again to keep out of the play. “Stuffy” and “Nancy” are the “Katzenjammer Kids.” They may be seen to- gether at every game and at the H. S. social functions as chipper as can be. As a basketball manager, Mary wms indispensable and a great help to the team. Every morning wdien the other girls are discussing the events of the previous evening, Mary does her Bookkeeping. Three guesses why she didn’t do it the night before: and the first two do not count. As somebody’s private “sec,” Mary is bound to succeed.

Mary entered the portals of Clinton High, the essence of demureness. She succeeded in retaining this shy attitude for two years. Junior year, however, rhe change was wrought and lo, you are gazing upon one of the liveliest girls of Clin- ton High. Mary is always brimming over with good humor, whether in class or on the street, and although the reason for her giggling is sometimes rather vague, she never lacks associates, in her merriment, for all fellow-pupils feel that when she laughs there is a wise humor which prompts it. Although Marv has tried the patience of more teachers than any pupil in the school, we may still include her among our clever girls, in so much as she has succeeded in evading the gym for four years. Mary can be freriuently seen trudging back to class at two-thirty, although she claims to l)e an advocate of the one session plan. These P. M.s, however, put he- in the best of humor, as well as furnish us entertainment the next day for Mary certainly can stir enthusiasm l)y her accounts of the previous aftcrnoou, Mary plans to matriculate at Purdett Business Collece when her Hieh Schn d days are over, for, as you see, she has taken a commcvrial course while here wirh us and evidently intends to follow it up in hiaher fields. If vou win the favor of voiir associates at Burdett as you have won ours, Mary, we can assure you that vou’ll have nothing to regret. So let your disposition be as nleasant and winning there, as it has been here. That’s our parting wish and desire.

Course Minstrel Show 3-4; Glee Club 3-4; Hiking Club 3; Track Meet 3. The phrase, “Good things come in small packages,” may well be applied to Rita. She is one of our short girls and this fact makes us wonder how her short stature can contain so much good humor. Rita certainly has her share of good .nature and it is always willing to asserr. itself at the slightest provocation. Her pleasant laughter as well as her witty re- marks have always prevented our classes from becoming dull. Although Rita didn’t sit in the Hall, she did favor us with her presence every morning (in quest of homework). Rita firmly believes that care is an enemy to life and therefore she seldom, if ever, worries. But then, why should she? — For is there any girl in High School who can refuse the pleading voice v.diich Rita dons when borrowing homework? Certainly not, for Rita is a pal to everyone. Rita has kept her outside activities very quiet, but you never can tell! Yet the keeping of things to one’s self is sometimes an admirable trait and so we’ll just stop thinking and add one more good feature to Rita’s attainments. Rita’s plans for the future are rather indefinite at the time this is written, hut in whatever she undertakes she has the best wishes of ’ 28 .

On the gridiron, in his position as captain and center, his long experience, rugged physique, and good judgment made him one of the mainstays on the team and his fighting spirit kept the team going through many trying sit- uations. In his capacity as catcher on the baseball team he is no less efficient than on the football field. Here again his stature in back of the plate has kept many a faint hearted opponent from trying to steal home. His energy in backing up has lielped avoid some costly errors which might have resulted from wild throws. Of his plans for the future, rumor has it that John will immigrate to some college in the Middle West, probably the University of Indiana. It is the wish of 1928 that he will do as well in his future pursuits as he has in Clinton High. Favorite Occupation — Learning to slide bases on the cinder track (Fuller’s Field).

As we remember “Rill” from early years he seemed to be rather a meek and (piiet fellow, but, as we know, time brings changes. During the past two years he has blossomed into quite a sturdy young man. It was not until last year that he considered himself husky enough to attempt anything in the football line. When he did, however, he gave a good account of himself at the end. For the past two years he has been out for baseball and it looks as if he is slated for second base. If baseball ability runs in the family, as shown in “Johnny,” “Bill” should have a successful season. At present it looks as if “Bill” would be back to High School next year and then enter Johns Hopkins to study medicine or something along that line. V e hope that he will keep the memory of 1928 bright next year and that when he goes away he will be successful in whatever type of work he may take up.

Alice? We all know her well! She is one of our girls who could hardly be recognized without a smile. We’ve always enjoyed having “Al” in onr classes. She usually knew enough about the lesson to help us out and to convince the teachers that she knew the “whole” lesson. Especially was she willing to relieve the “chilly” atmosphere in some class-rooms — well, nuff sed. Alice works two nights a week in Newberry’s store. We often wonder if there could possibly he some attraction for her there. Who can tell? During her four years in Clinton High School she has made scores of friends, i nd that can be said of very few of the rest of us. Alice is ever willing to lend a helping hand, if she can possibly he of any assistance to us. As a debator, Alice proved that she would make a worthy successor of the great Patrick Henry himself, by her brilliant speeches in the Debating Society. Alice intends to enter Bay Path Institute in the fall and we feel sure that she will bring renown and credit to C. H. S. and 1928. Farewell, “Al,” may your paths lead on to happiness and success.

If we depended on oiir auditory organs alone, we would hardly know of her presence among us; tor “Peggy” is one of the quietest girls of our class. By this we don’t mean that she isn’t popular, as everyone in the class is dear “Peggy’s” friend. Her extreme popularity is shown l)y the simple fact that she was for two years our efficient secretary. “Peggy” never took part in any athletics but was always present to help the girls (and boys) by backing them up. Margaret also has a temper that is not very easily stirred up, in fact, I don’t believe any of us have ever seen her the least bit ruffled. We suppose that this is due to the fact that she never worries. This doesn’t mean that she doesn’t get good marks, it simply means she doesn’t have to worry to get them. She is one of those lucky people wdiose motto is “Smile, and the world smiles with you;” and it certainly does with Margaret; she has the most engaging smile in the class. “Peggy” hasn’t as yet decided wdiat course she wall take up in the future, but w ' e know ' that wdiatever it is she will succeed and the very best washes of ’28 go wath her.

That’s why we elected her ca])- tain. She easily made the big team this year when it was organized and in all our games both in the Armory and away from home she was the outstanding star. It seems too bad, in a way, that she has to leave the team for her place will be hard to till. Basketball has made “Marg” extra strong (?) Ask Miss Maitland who broke through the wail in the “gym.” “Margie” belongs to the “corner clique,” which is the reason why teachers get gray. Although “Marg” was fitting herself for the business world, she has decided to take up nursing. We just know all her patients (and patience) will pull through.

Just to he original, she talks after “Jack” sounds his little silencer. “Caddy” never went home over-encumbered with hooks, hut she manages to get along without an over-abundance of “matinee invita- tions.” She attended all the H.

Any day in summer you can see her and Louise smashing tennis halls, and wearing out the Lancaster Mills court, ’cause Caddy” is the star tennis player “on our street.” And in basketball “Caddy” can skid down the floor like greased lightning. “Kit” is the humor section of all her classes (refer to Mr. McGrail).

Yes, you guessed it, he is the brother of the famous “Beansie,” Clinton High’s ex-star athlete, and “Coach” is surely living up to his name.

You need no introduction to onr uproariously humorous classmate. Everyone knows George; he saw to that this senior year, when he opened up and made him- self one of the most outstanding pupils in the class. Not only was he convincing to us but also to the faculty for this year he received more testimonials than he did in preceding years when he was getting his share of those miniature diplomas. George’s secret of attaining good scholarship is plenty of outside reading, that is, of good authors. George is always over at the Library getting books and look- ing over the magazines. When George laughs, or rather roars at a joke the four walls of the room resound with an echo befitting the roar of a Cyclops. This uproarious humor of his, is his outstanding characteristic this year, not to mention his argumentative powers which he unmercifully displays against teachers and pupils alike. George deserves great praise and thanks for his great financial capacity in helping to make this book possible, as its business manager. It’s because of this that we are confident that he’ll succeed in the business world, which he says is going to be his pursuit after graduating from Boston University C. B. A. Good luck, George.

She is especially fond of athletics and never misses a game. She ahvays looks lip to the men and though this could be taken in twm ways w e don’t mean to imply anything. But wdiile “Shaker” seems to he enjoying life, her studies are never neglected for w ' hoever knew the time that Nora didn ' t have some reply for the teachers. In the Senior Show% Nora played an especially clever character part, wdiile attributing her share to the success of “Square Crooks” by portraying the part of a colored servant. “Shrimp” is going to Normal School next fall and after that she will become “line PETITE institutrice.” We know she will succeed and the class of 1923 wishes her the very best of luck.

EDWARD JOHN KEENAN PADDEN “Ilogi’ ' Coilege Course Class Football 1. “Ed” is one of those quiet fellows who always manage to glide in about a second or two before the tardy hell rings. With the day thus started he SPEEDS to the various classrooms to find his seat perhaps in a corner or away up in the back of the room where you can just barely see him. You may ask “Why does he always choose these places?” AVell it’s quite a help sometimes when the teacher doesn’t see you — especially when you forget to study the lesson the night before. Put “Ed” more than makes up for these oversights on his part and always pays strict attention in class. One outstanding and singular feature of “Ed’s” is his habit of getting very high marks in his tests. There is one thing that we can never imagine “Ed” doing, and that is getting into a lively discussion or debate such as is conducted up in Room 5. It seems to be his motto not to interfere with anything that requires outside work. “Ed” hasn’t decided where he will jump to from Clinton High but we of ’28 can vouch for his subse ' iuent success, because “Ed’s” got the goods.

Teofil is one of the quietest members of the class. After all, why shouldn’t he he, to a certain extent? For when he sees the “scraps” that a lot of ns get into because of excessive talking, he can well stand by and be thankful for his gift. His good use of the time that might ordinarily be wasted on nonsense, en- ables him to proudly uphold a good record in scholarship. And to elaborate on this same record, we have no official knowledge of the number of “testies” that decorate the Perzan home but we hear that Teofil is thinking of binding the volume of them he received. On the other hand, if he had more time during our footltall seasons, Clinton High would now have another favorite son to boast of on her annals, for, doubv- less to say, he has practically all the natural endowment necessary for a good athlete. We can safely say this because of the splendid showing he made in our inter-class encounters in football. We predict greater things for you in the future, Teofil, if you ably l)lend your quiet and unassuming manner witli a more enterprising disposition such as will endear you to the hearts of your fellowmen.

A few short years ago a very unassuming and reserved little fellow entered the portals of Clinton High School. He wasn’t destined to remain so, however, for now on leaving he carries with him the reputation of being a live wire. His pleasant personality, wit and humor, has made him a friend of the student l)ody and faculty alike, and helped make him effectively diplomatic. “Doc” was one of our ardent sport fans, he doing his duty to his Alma ] Iater by attending all sport functions. During his Junior year he decided to assume the title “Red” and emulate “Red” Grange on the gridiron and so played during the inter-class series. But the doubtful future of professional footballers caused “Doc” to give up the strenuous sport. “Doc” has never been what one might call a bookworm, and consequently has never had the opportunity of taking home many “testies” but don’t think for a moment that he hasn’t natural talent, as Cicero would say, for anyone who can learn how to drive a big Chandler in two lessons must have plenty of good stuff in him to pick up any other knowledge whatsoever. So with our great confidence in his natural ability we are banking on him to set a fast and furious pace at Northeastern University where he intends to go next fall to further his education.

Prior to some of the “big” basketball games of the season we found the girls’ team out on the floor and Marie, as a member of the girls’ varsity, did her share in every game. She was ever willing to put up a good fight and the team surely was fortunate in having her as a player. You will find Marie among that gang which sits in the back of the “Hall” and if you really know her, you can account for some of the noise which is alwaj’s heard up there. Marie has always been “one of us” and we will all be sorry the day when we must part, for you may be sure we will miss her.

Any fine afternoon she and her shadow may be seen on the L. M. tennis court. And can she play! From all reports it seems that Helen Wills may soon have a keen rival. As for basketball, v ell, need we dwell upon it? Anyone who attended the games in the Armory can tell you that “Pansy’’ certainly had a keen eye for baskets and was an indispensabe member of the Varsity Team. But although “Pansy’’ spends much of her time in sports she does not desert her lessons entirely (especially U. S.). In history “Nada” can alwmys be relied upon to clear up any vague topic. And at the quarterly distribution of testi- monials she receives her reward. Aside from the regular school curriculum, “Pansy’’ is also a member of our newdy formed Debating Society, and an honorary member of the Historical Society.

Every Thursday and Saturday nights we find her weighing and sell- ing candy for the “.5 10” Cent Store. “Betty,” too, was one of our staff of typists who did most of the real work in our class book. The Class of 1928 wishes to extend to her its thanks for the many hours that “Betty” worked to make our book possible. “Betty” is undecided in her future plans but we know with the best wishes of ’28 she is bound to succeed. Now we ask you very confidentially, aren’t you glad you met “our Betty?” Favorite Expression — “Thank you.” Favorite Occupation — Doing up bundles. Clinitoe Hi||h School Vice-President 3-4; Junior Prom Committee; Minstrel Show 2; Glee Club 4. Now, ill good society, it is quite the thing to make introductions, so let us in- troduce our Vice-President. To the members of our class she needs no introduc- tion, but we must be polite! For two years we didn’t hear much about “Caddie’’ but when we did. Oh! Boy! The best instance of this is shown when the class elected her to fill the office of Vice-President. Such popularity must be deserved “Caddie’’ is very diligent and faithful in her studies and receives marks to her credit. It must be a grand and glorious feeling to go into class knowing that your lessons are thoroughly prepared. Most of us read them over and get an idea (?) but, “Caddie” must study according to the “Read, Mark, and Inwardly Digest” method for she usually knows what she is talking about. Catherine spends a good part of her leisure time as nursemaid. We do not think, however, that this is the height of her ambitions, but who knows? It was upon “Caddie’s” successful management of the weekly Food Sales that the success of the new feature of our class book depended. That new fea- ture was a cover, which is a credit to any book. Catherine’s plans for the future are along the school teaching line Our best wishes accompany you in your chosen profession, “Caddie.” On! 0)1 ! where duty leads!

Allow ns next to present “Scrappy,” one of the most popular fellows to ever attend C. H. S. Let us not forget that “Scrap” was our first President, this showing that his popularity was evident from the very start. From that time until graduation, hardly any affair of importance was considered well done unless “Scrap” lent his aid, something which was always whole heartedly given, and which invariably aided the success of the undertaking. “Scrappy” is one of onr humorists, he fairly bubbles over with humor. “Scrappy” never worried about testimonials, but his witty replies have made him a big favorite with the teachers and students. And “Scrappy’s” debating ability which he used to a very great degree often in the class room will never be for- gotten. We have often thought that he started these arguments just to help us out by relieving the monotony of the lessons. “Scrappy” was also popular with the fairer sex, as he was frequently accom- panied by — ahem! — er — ah — oh! you know! “Scrappy’s” plans for the future are indefinite as yet, but we feel that he will be a success in whatever he undertakes. Good Luck, “Scrap,” from 1928.

MaKY mason SAUNDliRS College Course Junior Prom Committee; Debating Society. Mary, Mai ' y, cpiite contrary. How does your “Bobbie” grow? Hopping and skipping, and often times tripping As across the Park you go. Mary certainly enjoys life. “Everything comes to her who laughs,” is Mary s motto and who could imagine her worrying over such things as studies? Never- theless she ranks high with both averages and her classmates. She adds to the gayety of all our social events and is an ardent rooter at all Clinton High games. Her classes are always more interesting because of her ready wit and good humor. The history class can testify that Mary doesn’t ap- prove of platforms, she prefers a fi’ont porch, (or is it the “back pork,” Mary?) And indeed who will forget in our Latin II class when Mr. Hynes calmly re- marked on a cloudy day, “Run up the curtains, please, Mary.” How we all did laugh! She is one of our very bashful girls but she tries to overcome this. Keep up the good work, Mary, and remember it isn’t always the over-confident who succeed. We have said she is bashful and yet we have noticed that in several classes she keeps up an interesting conversation with several members. Par- ticularly is this true in French IV! But enough said! There is no one we shall miss more, or remember longer, than our Mary. She intends Mt. Holyoke to be her destination for the coming four years. We all know that you’ll make good, Mary.

Here is a girl who has made a lasting impression on her classmates during her four years at C. H. S. It must be a gift. Any member of the class will vomdi that she has never once “tried” to make an impression, yet by using her powers of personality in an entirely ordinary manner, Catherine has gained a permanent place in the hearts of her classmates. Psychologists tell us that the hardest task men and women have to face in life is that of “being oneself.” It’s a mighty hard job, yet Catherine has evi- dently succeeded. This is proved by the conspicuous record of her four years in High School. Catherine’s class and school spirit came to the fore more than once during her stay here, though, for she “warbled through” two years as a member of our fa- mous Glee Club besides appearing in the annual Minstrel Show. Just to show us that she could be an athlete, too, she played on the basketball team which repre- sented the Class during the Sophomore year and contributed to its success. At this time, Catherine is uncertain concerning her future plans. Whatever they may be, you have the sincerest wishes for future success and happiness from ’28, Catherine.

If there’s anything to be done, Louise is there with bells on. Her favorite sport is tennis and she certainly knows her “Helen Wills.” She can slam more tennis balls over into the Mill Yard than she can sell bolts and screws on Saturday night — and that’s going some. When not playing tennis, Louise works in a Millionaire’s Emporium — F. W. Woolworth’s. Maybe “Lou” doesn’t know her “haiahvare” ! ! “Mary Lou” is one of our songsters. She show ' s the same conscientious atti- tude toward Glee Club as in all her other wmrk. She did her bit for the Athletic Association during her Junior year by lending her voice in the Minstrel Show Louise is another member of our class wdio has chosen nursing for her future work, and if w ' e were to lapse into vernacular, “she has the stuff.” So long, “Lou,” may you succeed in your chosen profession.

MINNIE ELIZABETH SCHULTZ “Min” “Mincie” College Course Senior Show 4; Inter-class Dramatics 3-4; Glee Club; Minstrel Show 3-4; Women’s Club. Minnie joined onr ranks as a Sophomore but you may be sure it didn’t take ber long to get in with the rest of the class. You can bet we have never been sorry of the day when she entered Clinton High School for the first time. “Min” is by no means one of the quiet ones of the class. She is always look- ing for a good time, and is seldom missing when one is to be had. “Miiicie” is quite clever in her studies as you could not help but know, if you ever read the list of testimonial awards. We are surely glad that “Min” is one of the clever pupils because then we knovr where to go if we forget the assignmeiit or didn’t have the time to do it. Minnie was an honorary member of the Women’s Club and she frequented all the meetings. The fact that she was chosen for this honor is also another proof of brilliance. Speaking of clever, if you have ever been to a High School play you, of course, know that “Mincie” is quite an actress. Not only that, but she sure can sing and was a principal factor in both of our minstrel shows. “Min” is bound tor Framingham Normal and we send our best wishes loi- success with her.

It takes a lot to start her off but when she’s started you can’t stop her. We cannot say that “Peg” has stood at the head of her class in regard to studies, but because of her loving character and ready smile she has gained a place in every one’s heart as a chummy and lovable classmate. Whenever her work did not interfere, “Peg” was a “loyal rooter” at our sport and social functions. Of course you know that “Peg” was one of our most in- dustrious girls and .there were few lost moments in her life. Margaret was, you know, one of the trio of typists who spent much of their time after school hours in hammering these writeups into shape. We appreciate your helping spirit, “Peg,” and thank you for making this book what it is. During her Sophomore year “Peggy” had the misfortune of being laid up for quite a spell as a result of an operation, but she pulled through and made up successfully her lost work. “Peg’s” ambition is to be “Somebody’s Stenog,” and we feel sure that her employer wall agree wdth all we have said. As she has succeeded so far, we wish her as much luck and more in the fu- ture. Favorite Expression — “You’d be surprised!” Favorite Occupation — Mixin’ sodas. 89 Memorabilia Life is real. Tate is earnest DOROTHY VAN VORIS SHUTTLEWORTH “Dot” College Course Junior Prom Committee; Debating Society. Here is “Dot,” (otherwise known as “Corporal”). She is our fair-haired pal, but her hair is not more sunny than her heart for who ever saw “f)ot” when her face was not radiant with a smile? The picture above shows “Dot’s” natural smile, the one we know so well. She is a very enthusiastic rooter at all the High School athletic games, par- ticularly those of basketball. We don’t think she missed one of the games in that sport this year. We wonder why? “Dot” is very earnest in all her work. She is conscientious about her studies and alwmys has her lessons wmll prepared. The testimonial list never lacks her name. One thing, though, that we can’t quite understand is her delight in getting excused from Gym. We’ve tried every way to figure it out and the only reason we could find was because Gym sent her mind fhiating away to basketball. There is something about “Dot” that v;e all admire and respect but we cannot seem to express it properly. She cannot be called too quiet, neither is she too gay; but she is one of the best-liked girls in the class. “Dot” plans to go to Simmons College in the fall and we know ' from our con- tact with her in High School that she will succeed there and reflect nothing but credit on Clinton High. Adieu, Dorothy, ’28 wishes you all happiness for the fu- ture.

Mailiematics is his specialty and, ho) , what he doesn’t know about algebra and geometry, isn’t worth studying. But we needn’t he misled to the belief that his other studies have been made to suffer on account of his mathmatical pursuits, for he has never had any “close shaves” in them. Moreover, anyone who can comprehend “Math” should have no great dif- ficulty in anything else. And by no means is he a hog with his knowledge, for he is always ready to share it with his fellow-students. Then, too, he has a very pleasant disposition and frequently displays a like- able humor both subjectively and objectively, all of which tends to make him an agreeable companion and classmate. “Gene” intends to take up engineering at some Technical School, which is a very appropriate and wise vocation for a youth like him. The mere choice of such a profession insures for him a bright forecast of the future. The heartiest and unselfish wishes of the class are with you, “Gene.” Our only hope is that you’ll persevere and reach the heights for which you seem destined.

CARL JULUJS STARK “Captain” Technical Course Class Football 3; Inter-class Dramatics 3; Minstrel Show 3 and 4. Xow in English we are taught something about figures of speech, but we just can’t tell which one it is that v e are trying to show here — but in plain American we claim that “Captain” has several characteristics from which great men de- velop. His height was one great asset in all our inter-class sports, on which teams he invariably played. As a tackle he could grab an opposing back before he even started, but in basketball why! dropping in baskets was to him as much exertion as putting our hands in our imckets is to us. And wasn’t “Captain” one of the track team for our annual Class Field Day last year? Can’t you see him now striding around that ash pit down at Fuller’s P ' leld during the mile run??? “Captain’s” characterizations as a member of our dramatic presentations were certainly masterpieces. We will remember him as the butler in our Junior Inter-class production, but we can never forget him as the blood smeared referee of our midget football team in this year’s Minstrel Show. That slow motion ef- fect and the handling of such a gathering of gridiron heroes called for real art and “Starkie” kept the house in an uproar with his interpretations. “Captain” seems to have a leaning toward a technical education after leaving High School. His work in technical preparatory subjects here has been of such a calibre that we predict no trouble for him at XMrtheastern University, his chosen school of higher learning. Hood luck, C’arl, may all the success you surely de- serve come your way.

Rose is one of the most industrious of oiir Senior girls. When we were Freshmen she was unknown, and when we entered upon oiir second year of High School, Rose was merely beginning. Rut steadily she has caught np with dear old ’28 through her hard work, perseverance, and indnstrionsness and is now one of the brightest of the class. Who could be so hard-hearted as to refuse Rose anything she asks, or whom, on the other hand, did Rose ever willingly suffer to pass unaided when help was needed? And how manv has Rose gladdened with her witty remarks and ever smiling countenance? It would be hard to answer those questions in any way other than the favorable. It must be remembered too that Rose is one of those rare personages who completed her High School course in three years. Such cases are few and far between, and it is only a type of person such as Rose who could make a success of it. We congratnlate yon. Rose, on yonr achievement. Her work always done, her answers always prompt in the class room, her willingness to do her share in whatever comes her way has made Rose one of the most nopnlar as well as most brilliant girls. She hasn’t definitelv decided her future voeation but whatever sh« chooses — and we know that she will choose wisely — we feel sure she will succeed.

Here he is, our well known and well liked “Abe.” We mean every letter of that nickname “Joe Colleage’’ in speaking of “Abe.” For he surely is one of the best dressed boys of the class and deserves the awards which go to a “Beau Bril m me 1.” “Abie” has made ns all like him and yet through no forward tactics on his part. For he is one of the most modest and quietest pupils in the class. No feai of “Abie’s” getting in “Dutch” with the faculty for he always behaves just as any teacher imagines in his Utopian dreams. His lessons are always well prepared so that no trouble is caused for either party. “Abie” was a well known figure on tne football field. He played on the Class teams for the past three years and always did his best to keep the name of ’28 to the fore. “Abie” seems to have a leaning toward a business career for as he says, he has seen enough of traveling. He will probably continue his education in some business school to learn the game even more thoroughly than he knows it now. We of ’28 are with you “Abie” and hope to point to you some day with pride and say that you used to be one of us at Clinton High.

When “Burt” is in the classroom under the eye of his teacher, he is like a lamb; hut when he is out with other fellows oh, what a change! the lamb becomes a lion. “Burt” is a good player in football and baseball, especially in the former, and so he starred in all the inter-class games. Many of his opponents, in the other classes, will remember him as an aggressive player, who always ' tried to have some remembrance of the contest with them, and so always tried to impress them with the following lines: “Lives of players all remind ns We can make our lives a wreck And in footl)all leave behind us Footprints on some fellow’s neck.” “Burt” is one of the most industrious members of ’28, his i)osition every after- noon undoubtedly keeping him from the varsity sports. He’s, you know, one of our few professional chauffeurs — if we may use the term — and is quite a familiar figure in a certain Franklin car. We are not sure of “Burt’s” ambition for the future — but one job we know he could fill to perfection is that of a movie censor or something in the movie game — for “Burt” claims that pictures are good for what ails you and seldom misses the big features. ’28 extends to you, “Burt,” its wishes for a successful career in whatever you take up. Continue showing that industrious spirit and it won’t be long before you come into your own. Favorite Expression — “What’s this, a game?” Favorite Occupation — Chauffering.

Entering our por- tals during the week of the Mid-Year Exams, Paul immediately undertook the up- hill battle of graduating with the handicap of being unable to take the Mid-Years, ilis success in accomplishing this feat is due to tiis ambition and studiousness. We hear that Paul is quite a chauffeur and delights in long trips to Baltimore and other distant places. Lindbergh made long flights before he became fa mous, so we wonder if Paul is following “Lindy’s” footsteps. Paul, to outward appearances, seems to be a quiet boy, but once he forgets his bashfulness, he uncovers an amazing amount of knowledge. Paul knows the sporting world from end to end, and what he doesn’t know about every day topics could be written on the head of a pin.

Unless you know “Pep” very Avell, you might never realize the width of his knowledge and the depth of his wisdom. He is too modest and unassuming to make his ability excessively evident. And as a result he has gained many friends including teachers who are appreciative of his fine qualities and mannerisms. Rooks never were a great source of worry to “Pep” (he looking upon them as a sort of necessary evil); still his record in class has no blemishes and his report card is not one of the patriotic kind, no teacher spilling much red ink after “Pep’s” name. Worrying, in “Pep’s” mind, produces nothing hut wrinkles, and why get wrinkles? At that, when did you ever see “Pep” downcast or in worry over anything. He was never too busy to lend a helping hand to any classmate in distress. If “Pep” could oblige you, he’d only be too willing to do so. We who have basked in the warm ray of his friendship murmur once again, “In his face is light, but in his shadow, healing too.” “Pep” hasn’t decided what vocation he will pursue, but we can bank on his winning way to bring him the success which we of ’28 wish for him.

That’s it, it’s all over. “Bernie” has settled another argument with his much-prized rule hook; again he has played the role of peacemaker. That’s not all, “Bernie” intends to play that role always- — to he a hig league umpire, a coach, a trainer or what not, as long as it is connected with athletics. “Bernie,” however, does not always play the role of rule hook advisor — for he was a meml)er of both our class haskethall and foot hall teams. He was a mean “snapper-hack” during his .Junior year — in foothall and showed a real eye for the liasket on the Sophomore team. .Just because that trait seems to be so characteristic of him, we must not for- get him as a student. There are no such things as close calls for “Bernie;” lie always glides along smoothly and easily in his school work. As a conseriuence he is well liked by his teachers to whom he has given no great bother, and also by the students whom he has had occasion to help.

Being “green” we were fully occupied in learning the “ropes and so we had no time for school activities. We experienced onr first mid-year examina- tions and there was man}- a scared freshman who went through the or- deal, to say the least. After the exams, we l)egan to show onr first real interest in school life. When the Inter-class Dramatics arrived, the lowly Freshmen had risen to such heights that we almost walked off Avith the trophy.

That year tlie Athletic Association decided to have a Alinstrel Show and the best talent of every class was selected. It is not necessary to add that our class was well represented. In January we encountered our second mid-year exams hut they held no such terror for us then. Again came the Inter- class Dramatics and this time wc could not 1)e denied.

Then came c ' lnother election — the Class B(H)k officers, and work was immediately begun on our year book. Then the last Dramatic competition arrived and for the second time our class captured the trophy. Surely we are leaving behind us a very inpu ' essive record in dramatics. As graduation draws near everything denotes our ])assing from Clinton High. Pic- tures are being taken and arrangements are l)eing made for our fare- well. The Prom, Class Day and the Ikamiuet are yet to come. Gradua- tion will soon sever our connections with Clinton High. Then we shall |)ass with the memories of four ])erfe(T years.

The game with Framingham High turned out to he by far the most exciting of the season.

Several obstacles were eneonntered dnrino- onr first season which, as far as victories were eoncerned, was not a lon« ' list of wins. In the first place, Ave had to shift the style of jikay for eaeh team wm met, some teams jilayino- o-irls’ rules and ot hers playing ' hoys’ rules. We had been accustomed to jilaying hoys’ rules, in onr inter-class contests and this fre(|iient changing about caused ns some difficulty. Then, too, we had some difficulty in filling ' one sehednle since the team was organized so late in the season, that most of the teams from neighboring schools had their schedules filled. Competition means more exjierience and it was that v hich we lacked. Yon all know- the nnmlier of spectators Avho watched onr inter-class games and then yon can imagine how we felt Avhen Ave Avere placed on the huge Armory floor before a large croAvd playing a team from a school Avhich had been jilaying the sport for a number of years.

This season saw an innovation in our early trainin since we had our ])reliminary workouts in the l)if drill shed of the Armory. A ])lace like the Armory to do such vork takes the place of the l)i«‘ hasehall ca e of the coUcyyes, and permits an earlier get-away in the conditioning ])i ocess.

On Patriots’ Day, we got off to a good start against Maynard High hut rain inter- lered before the regulation 4 2 innings could he ])layed. Rain also Avaslied out the Commerce High game. Xext came two losses, both at the hands of ] rep schoed teams, these games counting, of course, in the team record hut still being regarded ])V the authorities as practice games to get a line on new men. As a ])i oof of this, luit two veterans were used at Cushing, O’Connell at catch and “Xhp|)y” at short. The Fitchlmrg game was close until the seventh when Clinton started hooting the hall. The defeat can he attributed easily enough to the large numlier of misplays.

Few realize the stn])endons task that Air. Idncoln h:id to contend with at the o])enini; ' of his administration. He was com- pelled to assume the direction of the war, l)ecanse of the infirmities and incapacity of General Scott, althoip h he was entirely igmorant of mili- tary affairs, and had no teclinical knowledg ' e of the science of war. He was faced with the ])rol)lem of finding ' a com])etent commander to take charge of the armies in th.e field. He was res])onsible for the mobiliza- tion of a huge army, which was necessary for the defense ol the nation. J ' urthermore, it was a ])olitical war, and everything must be ])lanned with a view to political conscc|iiences. It was not a struggle I)etween rival ])Owers, nor for concjnest, but for the preservation of the Union. h’th inexperienced commanders, a divided cal)inet, ])nhlic clamor din- ning in his ears, his mind harassed and ])er])lexed by a multitude of du- ties, it would have taxed the genius of Napoleon. And yet Presideii ' . Lincoln, bv a supreme effort, overcnme all these obstacles, and not only ]. ' revented the dissolution of the Union, hut even accom])lished the de- struction of the slave ])Ower, and the removal ot that curse from the American ])eople. Abraham Lincoln is generally recognized as the ablest military strategist of the Civil War, not excepting Grant and Sherman, despite th.e fact that when the Rebellion broke out, he had had no ex])erience rn v arfare. It was Lincoln who directed and saved from ruin the Arn.yv of the Potomac, after the crushing defeats at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. It was he who originated and carried into effect the 141 Meimorabilia Ibock. ' ulc, wliicli was the death knell of the Confederaev. It was Lin- coln, also, who suhniitled a ])lan of cam])ai -n for the su])])ression of the Kehellion. And it waas our inart red president wdio ])lanned the Re- construction of the Lhiion, after the surrender of Lee at A])poniattox. I niinediately after the R.attle of ILdl Run, Lincoln devoted every s])aie inoiuent to the study of military tactics and to examinino- a ma]) of the hattlefront. A shelf in his ])i ivate library was filled with histories of i;reat canipaii ns, and such books of military authorities wdiich mij ht a I ford him valuable information. He undertook the ])reparation of a ])lan ol caiu])aii;n precisely as he had been accustomed to ])re])are for a trial at court, aud belore many days, his (juick j erceptions, his retentive memory, and his reasoniiy ' ])owers had -iven him a wider knowded e than was ])ossessed by any of his i xmerals. d ' his knowded e of the military situation is illustrated by his corres])ondence wdth the various commanders, his memoranda concerninj ' the movements of the troops and his instructions to the Secretary of Wdar. In his plan of cain])aiit‘n, Lincoln showed that he had considered every an ;de of the waar. Lie ])roposed to ca])ture all the rebel forts or. th.e Mississippi, thereby cutting the Confederacy in half, and checkin; the sup]dies that were being transported across the river to the South- ern armies. He ])roposed to maintain an army along the Potomac to menace Richmond, w ' hile a military force would l)e sw ' eeping down through Tennessee and along the Cumberland River. And then, co prevent the Confederacy from being supt)lied by European goods, he ])ro])osed to blockade all the Southern ports. Lincoln fully realized tlie magnitude of this project. The United States did not possess enough warships to patrol the coast of drginia. But the Ih ' esident went grimly about the task of building up the navy until at the end of tlie war, every mile of the Confederate shore was vatched by the vigilanc eye of the Federal coast-guard. Idncoln ' s chief problem during the war w as the necessity of finding a ca])able commander who could take charge of the armies in the field. Undoubtedly, if his generals had followed his instructions the waar Avould have terminated a few ' years sooner, but thwarted at every step by his unscrupulous and incompetent officers the President was ex- 142 treniely fortunate in acconi])lis1iin 4- what lie did. Wdien tlie Reliellion liroke out, all the ifenerals of any ability at all had been Southerners and they had resii ned as fast as their native states seceded. (leneral Scott, the eoininander-in-ehict , was too old to lead the army in jierson and the necessity ot havin - an active commander in the field vas enijihasized by the disas trous Hattie of linll Run. Idncoln’s first choice for the ]k� sition was (jcneral (j. lb McClellan, the Indo-htcst and most conspicnons t)f the } ' oniii;er officers and a ifradnate of West Point, who was credited with saving- West Viro-inia for tlie Union by a dashiipiL; ' campai ' ii in that section. Unfortunately, the honors that were showered upon Mc- Clellan turned his head, ffe very soon develojied sij ns of vanity and insubordination and even sliowed i ' reat contem])t for Mr. Lincoln. Ibit all these weaknesses would have been for« ' otten if IMcClellan had shown himself capable for directing- the army. The (ileneral, however, either did not understand the situation, or else was unfit for the ])osition. Hi:;, inactivity finally exhausted the admiralde patience of the President who removed him from the command after the battle of Antietam. Mc- Clellan is but one exam])lc of the many popular idols of the public wln ])roved to be inca])able and worthless for carrying- on war. The arro- gance of Halleck, Fremont and Po])e clearly showed the President that he had as much to fear from his owm officers as from the enemy. It is a well known fact that Lincoln vas the man wdio directed the destinies of the Army of the Potomac after the overwhelming defeats of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. It was here that that sii])erior knowdedge of his enal)led him to gras]) the reins from the failing hands of P)iirnside and Hooker and guide the army to safety. His instruc- tions alone saved the Union forces from l)eing mined and his commands ro Hooker on a means of retreat rescued that gentleman from an em- barrassing ])redicament. Lincoln was truly a man of determination and iron wdll. In times of crisis his gerierals found him calm and resource- ful; in great emergencies he Avas i)rompt, cool and clear-sighted, amd under the shock of defeat he Avas braA e and hopeful. For four years Lincoln could not rely on one officer to carry out his orders, and it Avas not until Grant Avas a])pointed commander-in-chief that he relaxed his undying vigilance. 143 Memorabilia 1 ' lie personality of Abraliani Lincoln rows dim with the fli -ht ot years. And yet Ids reat force of eliaraeter will always live. Without (lonl)t, this s])lendid character, which was sorely tried and never found v antiii”- kept him from heiipi;- overcome by the o])i)osin 4 ‘ forces, both from the North and South. Ilis remarkable ])atience at the blunders of the h ' ederal , ‘enerals, and at the disheartening- defeats, his admirable self control, in the face of the most tryiip - circumstances, and his .su- ])reme mat� nanimity in overlooking- the ])resumption of AIcClellan, Fre- mont and other L ' nion commanders serve to elevate . braham Lincoln to a niche in the klall of I ' amc. His wonderful achievements in ])re serving- life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for this great nation, lias made him the greatest man of his generation. And we shall cpiote from Lincoln ' s own words to illustrate the fact tliat because of his su- ];reme sacrifice “this government of the people, by the peojile and f(� r the peo])le has not perished from the earth. . s a fitting- termination to this essay, 1 have composed a short poem to the memory of Abraham Lincoln: When the nation was torn ’mid storm and strife, And courage was running low, Lincoln, the man of destiny. Rose lip to meet the foe. Tlie Rebellion could not have endured. Crushed by his strong hand. And life and liberty he insured To all throughout the land. This Preserver of the Union, He was every inch a man. And he rightly holds the title Of an All American. 144 Ciinito]H High School Can You Imagine “ ' roniniy” I )iii4i4 ' an with no “fuzz on liis face. “iMldie (iil)l)ons not reach ' to fi ' lit. “j’ernie Westerlini; ' without his rule-l)ook. “Pete Despotopiilos doiip ' “setting ' up exercises. “joe McXainara ])ickin 4- on “Donu} ' C ' ln ' ld. d ' he Orchestra plavin«; ' in ])erfect harmony. “jack” Moran iinwilliip ' to ari me. ‘Mhlly” Constantino ai ' i ' ceini ' witli Afiss Kerrigan, “J.hll} ' (hlson taking- out a girl, ddie foot 1 )all team getting rough. “Hurt” dkaylor getting in before the 1 )ell. “Pete ] ister passing up a week-end in Poston. “Eddie” Durkin forgetting to talk of Holy Cross.
