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 Oh like a (ineeii’s her happy tread And like; a queen’s her golden head College Course Member of Class Book Staff; Member of Debating Society 4; Honorary to Historical Society; Member Junior Prom Decorating Committee; Minstrel Show 2. 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.

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
