I)urin ;- the last four years we have studied, joined in athletics and made friend- ships tog ' ether and now we i ’o forth to make new acciuaintanc.es, to lind new tasks and to encounter new experiences. The Memoral)ilia XVI is given to the Class of 1929 to enthrone the joys, the sorrow ' s, the tasks and the friendships of our High School da} s in the hearts of its members. With this as an aim, this hook has l)een woven together by the aid of class members who have willingly given of their time and service. We sincerely hope w e have succeeded in our [)urpose. 7 il ntiTralttUa Tribute to the Faculty Is it really possible that onr goal has l)een reached, that we have come to the parting of the ways, that our four ha])py carefree years iu Cliutou High are really over? We can hardly believe this fact. We must now take leave of our classmates, friends, and members of the Cliutou High School Faculty. It is with heavy hearts that we bid adieu to our teachers, those who have guided us over the rough pathway during- our high school days. We fear that at times we have been Bomewhat of a trial and that we have not always conducted ourselves iu the best possible manner. Very likely, our lessons wmre not even con- scientiously prepared, yet we hope that they will forgive us our erring- ways. As Ave say farewell to Clinton High, we are keeping a place dee]) down in our hearts reserved for the Faculty, the friends of all classes and in particular the friends of the Class of ' 29 . 1929 9 iJl mnrabtlta Eben S.

Why, the best books haven’t been written. The best race hasn’t been run. The best score hasn’t been made yet. The best song hasn’t been sung. The best tune hasn’t been played yet. Cheer up, for the world is young! No chance? Why the world is just eager For things that you ought to create: Its store of true wealth is still meager Its needs are incessant and great; It yearns for more power and beauty. More laughter and love and romance. More loyalty, labor and duty; No chance? Why there’s nothing but chance! For the best verse hasn’t been rhymed yet. The best house hasn’t been planned. The highest peak hasn’t been climbed yet, ' Phe mightiest rivers aren’t spanned. Don’t worry and fret, faint-hearted The chances have just begun. For the Best jobs haven’t been Started The Best work hasn’t been done! — BERTON BRALEY C 2 17 iM morabtUa By the work one knows the workman HOWARD JOSEPH ALZAPIEDI “Al” “Howie” College Course Inter-Class Football 1, 2, 3; Inter-Class Track Meet 2, 3 “Howie” is a very likeable chap, not only among his fellow students but also among the fair sex. Of course many of you have been into Battista’s Barber Shop and have seen the good looking fellow there, well that’s “Howie.” There isn’t a dull moment when he is around because he’s just the kind who is always starting something. The fact that he works does not hinder him in his school work, because he walks home with a bunch of testimonials every quarter. Did you ever hear of sharpshooter Alzapiedi? Here “Howie” is again in the first rank. Although our hero has seen quite a few pheasants, he most generally is very kind-hearted and lets them fly off. “Howie’s” chief big game is rabbits and rats. Without doubt we will soon read in the “Daily Item” about Howard Alza- piedi spending his vacation in Africa or some of our wild suburbs among big- game. “But there is one thing,’’ says “Howie,” “chat makes my life unpleasant and that’s the fact that my mother won’t let me read ‘Love Sories’!” Can you believe that ? We understand that “Al” is going to continue his education and we know that he will succeed. Moreover the sincerest wish for success in the future is given to him by his classmates. oAO vj)AO j)AO AO ' J)AO O H mnralitUa AO Ao ' AC oAO jAO A ' T ' aAO You misht just as well have the best FLORENCE ANASTAS “Flo” “Flossie” Commercial Course History Circle; Honorary Member of Clinton Historical Society; A. A. 2, 3, 4 Our next attraction is Florence Anastas. “Flossie” was not known to us in our Freshman year as she had attended the High School of Manchester, New Hampshire, but she quickly acquired many friends (of both sexes). We wonder if that is where she got her “Manchesteronian” ideas of study? Have you heard her “wobble” off History? Well, you certainly missed something, for all records are certainly broken as regards to speed and knowledge of what she is talking about; and she certainly knows her “dates.” “Flo” is always ready to give a helping hand to her classmates, especially jii H istory. She is particularly fond of Stenography. “Flossie” is always careful to get to her classes on time and she is often seen urging her chums to hurry along. As a result of her hurrying, a few free trips down some stairs was the outcome. “Flossie” is the only “doughnut girl” in C. H. S. Now we know why the “Doughnut Shop” is patronized by so many customers who are always greeted with a cheery smile. “Flo” is quite an athlete and never misses any athletic games if she can help it (but we know why!) Another of Florence’s hobbies is to ride around the town in her “Lizzie.” Florence has been taking up a business course and she intends to continue her studies at a business school. We sincerely hope that a position worthy of her abilities will await her when she starts her career. 1929 19 I laii is architect of his own future ROBERT JOHNSTON BARKER “Bob” General Course History Circle; Interclass Football 2, 3, 4 History tells ns that Napoleon was no giant in stature. Well, neither will the history of the future tell ns that “Bob” was, for it is a fact that “Bob” stopped growing before he reached his “dream” height. Still, being short in stature is not always a handicap, although “Bob” will admit that it is tough to be that way when there is a crowd at a game. Nevertheless we find “Bob” at practically all of our varsity games, where he is invariably voicing the true spirit of a loyal supporter of C. H. S., whether we are losing or winning. Then, too, you would notice the name of Barker in the lineup of our interclass football teams, and we can remember “Tukis” doing his stuff for the honor and glory of ’29 on the gridiron, and believe it or not, we felt often as if we had been on a real gridiron after some of those hectic struggles. Socially, “Bob” has risen to great heights, thus proving once more that you can’t keep a good man down. And as to dancing, say — life is a two step to him. Let it be said right here and now if attendance at our socials would suffice for a testimonial, “Bob” would have enough to plaster a whole room. We might say too, that several merchants on the street have had evidence of the Barker pep, for friend Robert has spent considerable time in trying to keep the stock moving in our local chain stores. We have not been informed of the future plans of our Robert, but certainly, we of ’29 all join together in sincere wishes for a rosy future. 20 M mnrabtUa Studious, yet so bewitchiiig ' GERTRUDE ROSALIND BEDRICK “Gert” “Gertie” “Trudy” College Course Minstrel Show 1, 2, 3, 4; Librarian of Debating Club; Junior Prom Committee; History Club; French Club; Senior Show Committee; Honorary Member of Clinton Historical Society; Interclass Dramatics 4; A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Here she is, our well-known, weii-iiked classmate. “Gert” is a true version of the old saying, “Good things come in small pack- ages,” for this “petite miss” has won her way into the hearts of her fellow class- mates. “Gert” always gets her studying done but books have no hold on her when it comes to a good time. “Gert’s” idea of being on time is coming about twenty minutes late but then, she gets there eventually. “I’m sorry” will get her by so what cares she. Let us take time out here to introduce to you the quartet, “The Inseparable Four,” who may be seen roaming around the corridors, dances, games and various places of amusement. Of this group “Gertie” is a member. The others will make their appearance in due time. “Trudy” never fails us in our musical comedies with a dance specialty. li will not be a big surprise to us if she wins renown on Broadway. When Senior year came along sh e branched out and showed her skill in dramatics as well. “Gert’s” studies are not going to end in C. H. S. We know her ability will carry her with honors through any task she attempts and all our good wishes go with her on her road to Wellesley. 1929 21 il mnrabtlia Napoleon was great in spite of his height JOHN JOSEPH BOISONEAU Technical Course John is another one of our quiet boys. One never heard of John causing the teachers any rancqiiors. He is so quiet, in fact, that few of us really knew that he belonged to ’29. For some time we were wondering why John disappeared from school so soon after classes were over and did not return for many afternoons activities. However we found out that John has been signed up by the First National firm to manage one of their stores on High Street. We also found out that John’s favorite occupation is driving one of Henry’s old model “Lizzies” and he certainly seems to know how to handle the wheel. John was also a student and certainly knew his stuff in History. His skill iii that subject is making even himself believe that some day he will be back in Room o, presiding over a class in U. S. Although John did not participate in any of our athletics, not every one can take i)art and you know we must have some one to cheer the teams on to victory. As a I ' ooter, John has always been one of our best. John’s destination for his further studies is undecided, but wherever he may go the (Tlass of 1929 will know that he will succeed in spite of all difficulties. iMinmmihtUa Little, ])ut — oh my! ! MARY TERESA BOISONEAU “Bois” “Biizzic Normal Course Minstrel Show 2, 3; A. A. 3, 4; Science Club 2; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Hiking Club 2; History Circle 4 Here is Mary — small of stature but big of heart. Mary generally likes to overrule the teachers’ wishes to “be quiet’’ — espec- ially during study periods, and may often be seen walking through the corridors in search of new study rooms, and yet “Bois” never seems to tire of school. It seems to make no difference to her whether it is morning or afternoon session that she attends. We wonder why? Mary likes to go to all the socials, and we can’t blame her, for she certainly has a good time and receives a lot of attention from the “stronger sex” at all of them. “Buzzie” is well liked by her classmates and her supply of “wisecracks makes everyone admire her wit, and if there is any fun around yon may be sure that she is in on it. Mary regularly attends all the school games, and she adds not a little to the cheering for the school teams. “Bois” knows her English and may often be seen devouring great volumes ( f myths. She doesn’t seem to believe in letting pleasure interfere with work, how- ever, because she may be seen clerking in some of our local stores. Mary intends to grace a corner of some office in the future and we all wish her the best of hick in whatever niche she may find herself. 1929 23 iM mnrabtlta A sweet attractive kind of grace EMILY AUGUSTA BOND “Em” College Course French Club 4; Honorary Member of Women’s Club Emily’s first year of high school was spent at Lancaster High, and though we know little of her work there, we are certain that it was of the highest type. “Em” first came into our midst when we were Sophomores. “Do you know who the new girl with the long l air is?” we would ask each other. But how dif- ferent now. We all know of Emily’s scholastic ability, and long hair is no longer a distinguishing mark. Emily is one of the shining lights of our class and is al- ways willing to help the rest of us who are not blessed with such intelligence. In her Senior year, she attended the meetings and entertainments of the Women’s Club as one of the two guests chosen annually from the graduating class by that organization. She also took active part on the Social Committee of the French Club and helped to furnish some very pleasing entertainments for the Club. “Em” plans to enter Brown University in the Fall. We feel positive that here she will do credit to herself and to our school, will make many friends, and will be one of the highest in her class. Your many friends in the Class of ’29 will be watching your work, Emily, and hoping for your great success. Best of luck in your future career! 24 iMfmnrahtUa Music like whispering spirits charms the air OLIVE ELOIS BOWEN “Ollie” “Giggles” Honorary Member of Clinton Historical Society; History Club; Orchestra 2, 3, 4 Normal Course In our sophomore year a new member joined our ranks. “Ollie,” as she is best known, came to us from Berlin. With her ever ready smile it did not take her long to make friends with everyone. Olive is always ready and willing to help anyone in time of trouble. She al- ways finds time to pass a joke along and see the witty side of life. We could al- ways hear Olive giggle above everyone else in all her classes. “Ollie” was always among the list of testimonial pupils. Perhaps she owes her clearness of thought to her cold ride in the morning from Berlin. She was acclaimed one of the honorary members of the Clinton Historical Society. “Giggles” was also in our High School Orchestra and she sure wields a wicked bow. Olive has been the envy of all the girls with her frat pin. Of course we have no idea whom it belongs to (?). We are told that Olive likes to dance very much and always attends the dances in Berlin. There may be a special reason for this but we can not judge. Olive intends to go to Normal School and the class of ’29 wishes her all the success in the world. We can all picture her teaching the A, B, C’s. Farewell, Olive, and best of luck from ’29. 1329 25 iffirmnralTtlm Who with natural instinct to discern what knowledge can perform Is diligent to learn MARGARETTA CECILIA BOYLAN “Margo” College Course History Circle 4 Margaretta did not join “29” until our Senior year, but in this short space of time has certainly proved herself an illustrious member of our class. “Margo” is far ahead of us in one thing, and that is she knows exactly where she wants to continue her education, and what she intends to do, so with a defi- nite goal before her, she has proceeded to upset all our ideas of so-called “stiff” courses, and collect an unusual amount of our highly valued testimonials. We often wondered who was the person who produced the unmistakable signs of artistic perfection our ex-cheer leader often displayed. Well, that song is end- ed, but the melody lingers on, for it was none other than the person whose like- ness smiles upon you from this page. With this remarkable ability to start with, we hesitate to predict to what heights Margaretta will rise. Rut do not think of Margaretta as a grind, for this was not the case. If you mix a heavy schedule with a definite purpose, a comprehending ability, and a real desire to earn what awards one can, you have without recourse to solving by the quadratic equation formula — the story of Margaretta as a member of ’29. Her destination is Normal Arts and we need not use up much space here in useless prophecy. With her ability, her firmness of purpose and other equally worthy attributes, her success is assured in her chosen profession. Margaretta, re- member ’29 when you’re in “Who’s Who.” 2G iHi ' utitrubiltu A liglit heart lives Ions ANNE ELIZABETH CAMPBELL “Ann” “Anna” Normal Course Minstrel Show 2, 3; Glee Club 1; Musical Comedy 4; A. A. 3, 4; History Circle 4 “The Campbells are coming. Hurrah, Hurrah!” Next, here is Anne, one of our quiet and modest girls. She is very good na- tured and is always willing to aid anyone seeking help. We have all begun to think she doesn’t know how to lose her temper. How often have we, at 7:59, heard the mad rush of feet up those three flights of stairs, but Anne always managed to get in just before the last bell rang. Anne is also very helpful to those who have trouble in their daily Latin as- signments. Many a morning, a group may he seen asking her for aid in trans- lating this or that sentence. Perhaps it is because she is so fond (?) of Latin herself. During the holidays when we went into the 5 10, we would see “Anna” en- joying the tinkling music of the nickels and dimes. The 5 10 is not the omy place where she earns extra spending money. She makes herself useful in Mrs. K ’s selling pretty clothes to some lucky customer. During other spare hours, “Ann” can be seen acting as a nurse-maid. She has a large task on her hands hut nevertheless, she enjoys it. We are quite sure that the kiddies don’t mind being left in her care, either. “Ann” would like to go to Northfield along with “Dot” next year. Wherever she goes for further study, the best wishes of the Class of 1929 go with her. Good luck, Anne! 1329 27 iMintwralttlta As true as he is quiet JAMES EDWARD CANNON “Jimmie” College Course French Club; History Circle 4; Senior Show Committee; Junior Prom Committee James, otherwise known as “Jimmie,” seems to be a rather quiet lad. That is, to the majority, perhaps. But a few of us who know him very well indeed can tell you differently. The ffrst year “Jimmie” was content with his studies and his former school acquaintances. Rut after the first year he made friends quickly and now he is well known and has taken an interest in social affairs and dancing parties. He is fond of outdoor sports; two of his favorites being swimming — (South Meadow), and skating — (Four Ponds) as some of the class can well testify! He was an im- portant figure at many of the games played on Fuller Field under the sponsorship of C. H. S. A. A. You say that he was not on any team? You are right there, but he aided greatly in making our games a financial as well as an athletic success. James intends to go to Holy (!ross (k)llege next year and we surely wish him all sorts of luck. We know he will succeed, because he is an industrious person by natural rights. Keep up the good work, “Jimmie.” 28 I’ll be merry and free I’ll be sad for nobody ARLINE EMMA CLAY “Sis” College Course Minstrel Show 4; A. A. 2, 3, 4; French Club 4 “Sis” became one of ns in the Sophomore year, and, coming from Boston, you see, she had lots of pep to begin with. She’s a happy-igo-lucky girl and surely makes a hit — with both sexes. She’s everybody’s “Sis” and widely known for her bright and sunny remarks. You can always find Arline at all the dances and she always has oceans of partners. Can she dance? She surely has the art of Terpsichore. “Sis’s” only complaint in her Senior year was that the school wouldn’t install an elevator from the ground floor to the Assembly Hall so she wouldn’t be late every morning. She has a marvelous disposition and Arline is our idea of being obliging. She never refused to help any of us when we were in a jam — no matter what kind of a jam — she certainly supplied the facts. And Plow! She is easy to speak with and makes friends readily. She always keeps her friends, and doesn’t allow them to get angry or to stay that way if they do. She has proved herself an indispensable friend and pal. When, after graduation, our paths divide, we shall remember her and hold her dear. Arline’s plans for the future are indefinite, but that the years to come may bring nothing but Success is the sincere wish of the Class of 1929. IB ZB 29 ii mnrabtUa Life is a jest and all things show it ANNA TERESA COMASKEY “Flea” Normal Course Minstrel Show 1, 2; Junior Prom Committee Yon all have heard before how Anna knew 11)29 was the best class of all and that is why she is with ns. Doing as little as possible with the least effort is the art she has mastered. With the advent of the latest song, “I’ll Get By,” Anna seems to have a new motto. When it comes to knowing where the shy little violets grow, “Flea” surpasses them all. Anna possesses a congenial disposition and her good nature makes her a great favorite among both sexes, though her signs of favoritism toward the op- posite sex have never been shown. By her carefree ways you would think “Flea” never had a chance to study but we’ll admit she never burns any midnight oil, still she pulls through. Anna is quite fortunate in being gifted with musical talent in the ivory lino and also her voice makes a perfect accompaniment. Anna’s plans for the future aim at either a Conservatory or some well known hospital. The Class of ’29 extend to you their best wishes for success, Anna. 30 ilinnnralttUa I am not a politician, and my other habits are good BOURKE ARTHUR CONNELLY “Giis” “Lindy” General Course Interclass Football 1, 2 Boiirke is another man from the hills and a well known cliff-dweller. Living so near the ledge on Burditt Hill, Bourke could very well take his place among the Pueblo Indians. During the years with ns he has always been seen but not very often heard, however he managed to get his grades. His teachers never had to tell Bourke to “pipe down.” For a big fellow his voice is like a gentle debutante’s. By the way, when it comes to driving an Essex, Bourke has them all laid away. We don’t think he has ever been hauled in for speeding, but then, the cops aren’t everywhere on the road. Often when coming from a football game, the Essex, piloted by “Lindy,” looked like a Fifth Avenue omnibus. Aspiring to a carpenter during one of the school vacations, “Gus” met with a little accident. It seems as if he was figuring out some problem in Physics and he became so engrossed he forgot where he was and he started to walk away; as it happened he was shingling a roof and Bourke walked off into space and “terra firma” came up to meet him, and his wrist was broken. But Bourke didn’t miss any of his class work, which shows his interest in his school activities. As a lineman on our interclass football team, “Lindy” gave the opponents some pretty stiff opposition and he sure could hit ’em hard. His plans for the future are uncertain but whatever he takes up, we know he will forge ahead. Good luck to you, Bourke. 31 ilinnnralitlta I’ll put that ill my considering cap GENEVIEVE VERONICA COONS “Gen” “Sheen” “Gv’’ College Course Minstrel Show 1, 2; A. A. 3, 4; Debating Club 3; Science Club 3; Tennis Club 3; Inter-Class Basketball 3, 4; Hiking Club 3; Senior Show Committee; History Circle 4 One of “Gen’s” many characteristics is her sense of humor. She is the ex- ception that one does not often find — she can take, as well as give, a joke. It’s the eighth wonder of the world how “Gen” can manage to get to school on time for she lives at a great distance. But her close friends could tell you that she has a peculiar sort of disease called “husitis.” “Gen” loves sports, her favorite one being, perhaps, basketball. Who knows? But to he serious, she really does love sports. All- — hiking, skiing, basketball and skating, and let it be written here once and for all — she is good in all of them. One of “Gen’s” good traits is her stick-to-it-iveness. When she sets her mind to do anything, she’ll do it or know the reason why. This trait, “Gen,” will be the mainstay of your future successes (may there he many). Hold on to it. “Sheen” intends to be a nurse and we know that in her chosen profession she will spread sunshine among her patients, just as she has spread sunshine among her classmates in Clinton High. Goodbye, “Gen,” and good luck. 32 iMinmtrahtUa jSx. Such were tlie men of old, a hardy brood GEORGE RAYMOND COPPENRATH “Gee” “Copper” “Coppy” College Course Interclass Football 1, 2, 3; Varsity Football 4; Varsity Basketball 4; French Club; Interclass Basketball 1 “Gee” is the bi; man of ’29 and is our super athlete. “Coppy” always shines on the athletic field as well as in the classroom. “Gee’s” superiority in the classroom may be shown by his rare collection of testimonials. Each quarter “Copper” is able to “cop” at least two or three of these. As an athlete “Gee” showed his power since his Freshman year. “Coppy” played on the Freshman and Sophomore interclass football and basketball teams. In his Junior year he made tho Varsity football team and the basketball team. But “Gee” was to rise to greater heights for in his Senior year he was one of the main cogs in the Varsity football and basketball teams, playing center on both teams. As the center of the ’28 Varsity football team he was the outstanding staF. His tackling was praised by all who witnessed the games. Then later as the center of the ’29 Varsity basketball team he developed into a great center and shone on both defense and offense being high scorer in many of these encounters. At this writing we do not know what college will be graced with “Copper’s” presence. We are sure, however, that the college in which he eventually en- rolls will benefit both athletically and scholastically in no small way. If Georgo doesn’t get his name in the football and basketball collegiate “Hall of Fame,” we’ll be sorely disappointed. He’s, without question, our best athletic contribu- tion of recent years — Carry on, “Copper.” C .3 1323 33 ll mnraliiUa We are all good 1‘ellows together GEORGE SHATTUCK DAVIS College Course Interclass Track Meet 3; Senior Show; French Club 4; History Circle 4 Last year a man of Sterling qualities joined oiir class and we were all cer- tainly glad to have him with us. George was not slow to make himself known to us and because of his originality and winning personality soon became popular with us all. How could such a notable horseman as George escape our notice? Although George has not grown to fit his horse as yet, it would not be surprising if he did, because he rides to school every day. George not only rides but he also runs. Last year George helped the Class of ’29 win its track meet by placing in the mile run, and a long mile at that. Sel- dom does a social event pass without George being present. George is also quite an actor, having helped to give us a good scare in the Senior Show. George has also proven himself to he quite a student and has been able to carry away quite a few testimonials. When we say “good-bye’’ in June, we are sure George will hold a warm place in the hearts of the members of ’29, and when he goes to Dartmouth, he will be welcomed as he was at Clinton High with the fraternal spirit which he extends to all about him. oAO s 7 u oAO ksAO vsAC) S yO llinunralitlta Napoleon was great in spite of his size A� !) AO AO A ' l JOHN JOSEPH DERVIN “Dervie” “Johnnie” Technical Course Interclass Football 1, 2, 4; Minstrel Show 1, 2; A. A. 3, 4 As we travel through these leaves of ’29ers, our gaze rests upon the noble visage of John Dervin. John is or is supposed to be one of the lesser members of our class. . Oh, No, don’t get me wrong, for John is one of the lesser members of the class in height only, otherwise “Johnnie” is an all around sport and one of the most popular members of the class. Although “Dervie’’ is not graduating with the much longed for four letters he has contributed his part to High School athletics in the interclass contests. Outside of school hours most of “Dervie’s” spare time seems to be taken up by that divorced part of Clinton commonly known as the “Acre.” It is rumored that John has quite a bit to do with the daily life of the Acre Civic Club, for they say “Johnnie” is sure some “cut-up” when he gets going. There is one more thing I would like to say about “Dervie” and that is that during our four years of High School he has held his place among the best of us in his scholastic standing and has been rewarded by his collection of framed testimonials. The dear old class of ’29 will be there on the side lines rooting for you, “De)’- vie,” in your future work. 192a 35 iM mnralrtlta None blit herself can be her parallel ALICE DESPOTOPULOS “Al” Commercial Course History Circle; Glee Club 2, 3 We next introduce to yon Alice Despotopiilos, but is there any need of intro- duction? Alice is taking; a commercial course and is quite fond of shorthand. Yoj ought to see her take down dictation! We believe that she will be some one’s efficient stenographer some day. “Al” has acquired quite a number of friends at high school and she greets all her friends with a cheery smile. “Al” has been quite a patronizer of the games and dramatic events produced by the C. H. S. management. “Al” is one of that “sober, steadfast and demure” kind of a girl, but when it comes to anything that requires scholastic knowledge, she certainly can express her thoughts. Alice is not only quiet and studious, but she is also often seen sur- rounded by some of her friends who desire to have her help them, and the expres- sions: “Al, how would you do this in Bookkeeping?” “Is this a correct French translation?” and the like are often heard at recess or before classes begin. “Al” has not quite decided on where she is going to further her school edu- cation. Wherever she goes we are quite sure that she will win as many scholas- tic honors as she has in High School and our best wishes for success go with her. 36 iii ' numilttlta Happy and caierree all the while, Her secret lies within her smile MARY TERESA DEVANEY “Mamie” College Course Minstrel Show 2, 3; History Circle 4; Science Club 4; Hiking Club 3; Tennis Club 3; Junior Prom Committee; Debating Club 3; A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2 Now here is Mary, one of oiir few eiociuionists. She knows “Dan” Webster’s dictionary better than he did himself, and is very fond of scaring- “Gen” and Teresa with her big twenty dollar words. She is bright, cheerful in disposition, and exceedingly fond of excitement and eating. Mary never fails to attempt to answer any question put to her; even though she misses her guess nine times out of ten. “Speech is silver, silence is golden.” Mary prefers silver; in D study Mary receives afternoon tickets to Mr. Mitchell’s matinee. Mary was always in the front row of the cheering squad at all the sports hut is especially fond of football, because they often sing “Ilims.” Guess why. “Mamie” always takes her time and is often surprised to discover that she is five or ten minutes late for school or for an appointment. But Mary is very apt in the art of giving and making excuses. Mary once thought she would follow Shakespeare’s footsteps; hut after spending six hours in getting four lines to rhyme she decided she would not give competition to the other poets. Mary plans to enter the nursing field when she leaves High. The other mem- bers of the trio and the Class of 1929 wish her bunches of luck. 1929 37 il mnrabtUa Promise is most given where the least is said MARY AGNES TERESA DUFFY “Mamie” College Course One of our quiet girls is Mary. She comes and goes in silence — always mind- ing her own business and going her own sweet way. She need never be afraid of her deportment marks because whatever faults teachers may find in Mary, her deportment is not one of them. Mary never has to worry about those cute little monthly greeting cards, for none of them ever travel toward her mailbox. She is one of those girls who is far- sighted and sees the wisdom of preparing her homework. Mary is quite an accomplished artist. She can sketch very accurately and beautifully. One of her most outstanding accomplishments is her ability to sketch profiles. “Mamie” is also quite a skilled pianist. Those who have never heard her “tickle the ivories” surely have missed something worth while. She expresses a partiality for classical music and she does do credit to Chopin, Beethoven and the other great composers of classical music. Mary’s plans for the future are as yet rather uncertain, but the members of ’29 wish all kinds of luck to Mary, our friend and pal, in whatever sort of life work she may enter upon. 38 ilinunralttlia Only deeds give slrength (o life ERNEST WILLIAM DUNN “Ernie” “Kakos” College Course Interclass Basketball 1; Interclass Football 2, 3, 4; Interclass Track 2, 3; Varsity Basketball 2, 4; Debating Society 3; Junior Prom Committee; French Club 4; Senior Show; Business Manager of Class Book; History Circle 4 “Ernie” is one of the most conscientious students of oiir class. With him, studies come first, then recreation. But the “fault” does not prevent him from entering into class and school activities. During his Freshman and Sophomore years he held down a regular guard position on the crack basketball ciuintet and many times pulled his team out of a tough situation with his swishing long shots. We all know of “Ernie’s” ability as a debater but imagine our surprise when we saw him cast in the role of a nuff-tough crook in the Senior Show. After that he couldn’t surprise us no matter what he might do, because there is no telling how many more talents are concealed behind his frank blue eyes. He is one of the best liked boys in our class and although he is studious we can’t say he is very quiet. At any time his merry laugh is liable to ring out e.s- pecially during a French recitation, much to the consternation of Miss Kerrigan. As a member of the Class Book Staff, “Ernie” helped considerably in making this book what it is. He not only aided materially in the edition work but, with Frank, acted as Business Manager to make the financing of the book possible. “Ernie” intends to go to Muskingum College to further his education and wifb him go the best wishes of ’29 in his chosen vocation, which we know will be a success. 1329 39 iK morabtlta All men of great ability are in great demand JOHN JOSEPH ELLAM “Lm” “Joe” Technical Course Varsity Football 2, 3, 4; Interclass Basketball 1; French Club; Debating Society 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee Crawl right up, folks, and meet John Ellam, president protempore of the Acre Civic Club, and Joe Jink’s lone hope for the heavyweight championship. Don’t rush, girls, the line forms on the right. “Joe” is one of the boys of ’29 who is to be looked up to, unless you are an, aviator or a steeplejack. While in school he was very prominent in athletics and social affairs. “Joe” McCaffrey had him in the front line picking them up and laying them down. On the basketball floor he showed no favorites, being real generous and democratic passing the ball to anybody present. It’s all in the game. We don’t know where John is going at this writing, but judging from the way he drives his Chrysler, he’ll get there with plenty of time for lunch. Best of luck, John, there’s a great future ahead of you, and may you have the greatest of success in all of your future undertakings. We expect to see your name in headlines in some branch of the sport world before any great length of time has elapsed. We feel certain that accomplishing that end will work no hardship on you. 40 lUnmtralTtlta It’s a i)iirty good world, this is, old man, — It’s a puily good world this is JOHN FRANCIS FADGEN “Johnny” “Fadgie” College Course Minstrel Show 2, 3; Interclass Football 3, 4; Interclass Dramatics 4; A. A. 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee; History Circle 4; French Club 4 Let us stop here for a moment and rest our gaze upon “Fadgie.” One would expect from his angelic visage that “Johnny” was quite a saint. But appearances are sometimes deceitful, and they certainly are in this case. Whenever a disturbance arises in “Fadgie’s” proximity, you can be sure that he is right there “in the ball game,” as the saying goes. Whether it be a class or school activity or an athletic game, within the bounds of the town or out, you will always find “Fadgie” there, willing to do his bit to spur the home team on to victory or to aid in the social success of the class affairs. If you should consult “Johnny’s” activity list above, you’ll be surprised to see there “Interclass Football.” Now who would imagine that “our John” was a football player. Rut this is only characteristic of him showing his willingness, at all times, to cooperate with the members of his class in “doing things” — his fa- vorite occupation. When we say that “Johnny” is somewhat of a dancer, we don’t mean per- haps, or almost, and he may be seen strutting his stuff at all the class and scho(d functions. “Fadgie” is planning on continuing his studies at Princeton in the fall, we mean the University, and we feel that he will succeed as he did during his four years with our class. Good luck, “Johnny.” 41 il mnralTtlta Consistency, thon art a jewel EDWIN JAMES FINNERTY “Ed” Technical Course Interclass Track 2, 3; Interclass Football 4 The four years that “Ed” has been in C. H. S. were marked by his very quiet nature and his dry humor. Before class commenced every day you would see a group around “Ed’s” desk for he was popular among the runners of the class ' . “Ed” is the fastest 220 runner in the class and placed second in the interclass meet of our Junior year. “Ed” also played interclass football and he was one fast end, no plays going around his side of the line. Besides being a runner of note, “Ed” ranks among the best in the Trig class. Now that “Ed” is leaving us, he is going after another record which is held by his brother, the “Hot Dog King.” By “Ed’s” great work these last two summers he is sure to equal his brother’s record for dishing out “Hot Dogs” this summer. Quietness and minding his own business are traits which are exceptions in a class like ours. There are times when we wish we could imitate “Ed” in his manners. We are all prone to repent sometimes statements uttered too hastily. “Ed” doesn’t have this difficulty, although do not get the impression that he thinks it is a sin to speak. He can argue just as much as anyone when he gets started. He has been quite reticent in regards to his future plans. We have no idea concerning them, but wish to afford him the best wishes of ’29 for a successful future. 42 iH mnralTtlta 9A J ' J)AV • 3f How brilliant and inirthl ' nl the light of her eye, Like a star glancing out from the bine of the sky MARTHA FRANCES FLANAGAN “Marty” Normal Course A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4;Secretary of French Club 4; Vice-President of German Club 4; Senior Representative to Clinton Women’s Club; Honorary Member of the Clinton Historical Society; Editor-in-Chief of Class Book 4 What and who are all those girls crowded around the last desk in the third row in the back part of the Hall? Oh, those are the girls of Latin IV getting Mar- tha to do the Latin for the day — Martha — the girl who always gets a 90 at least in her Latin Mid-Years. Martha had to leave us in the middle of her Sophomore year but did that stop her progress towards the Hall of Fame? Don’t think of it! ! ! She came back the next year and took six subjects in her Junior and Seniors years, just as if it were the simplest matter in the world. We who are not so clever sometimes won- dered at her (to express it mildly). When we consider her ability we see how wise a selection Mr. Cobb made when he chose Martha as one of our delegates to the Clinton Women’s Club. The success of this book reflects the ability of Martha in lines other than scholastic ones. As Editor-in-Chief of this book, Martha worked hard to make Memorabilia XVI the best ever. “Marty’s” favorite occupation is given as going to baseball, basketball and football games. This is “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” Martha has not definitely decided what she is going to do next year but what- ever she decides upon we wish her well and are certain if school is any indica- tion of future success or failure, she will become famous in a few years. 43 lU muralttUa A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance MARY MARGARET GIBBONS “Gibbie” Normal Course Glee Club 1, 2 , 3; Minstrel Show 2; Hiking Club 1, 2; Science Club “Gibbie” is one of our happy classmates who rapidly won many friends by her ready smile, and good nature. We could not get along very well without her for we are sure to have a good time when in her company. Her favorite subject seems to be stenography and if you want any dictation to be taken, just ask “Gibbie,” and you will find her always smiling. But her joy is greater in period B. We wonder why? Probably it is because she has another period to resume her beloved studies. Of course, it is not her interest in her neighbor. Mary is quite a pianist and loves to “tickle the ivories.” They say “Music hath charms — ” but why bring that up? “Gibbie” is a rooter at all our games and any sport seems to satisfy but her own personal sport, the one she likes beL t of all, is that of skiing, and even if it does produce black and blue spots here and there , to her mind, it’s a grand and glorious feeling. “Gibbie” is undecided what line of work to take up. She seems to favor the nursing profession, and may enter Massachusetts General Hospital. We are sure she would make a good nurse, as she has a very i)leasant disposition. We know’ she will succeed in whatever she takes uj) and we wish her all the luck and haj)- piness in the world. We will never forget you, “Gibbie.” 44 ilinmtralnUa I luch mirdi and no sadness; All s ' ood and no badness HELEN DOROTHY GRADY “Len” “Hel” Commercial Course Minstrel Show 1, 2; A. A. 2, 3, 4; Class Secretary 2, 4; Class Ring Committee; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Field Day Committee 2, 3; Class Book Staff; Class Typist; Business Club 4; Honorary Member of the Historical Society Well, “Looks are deceiving” for here’s one of our “quiet-looking” girls. But is she quiet? We’ll say she isn’t, especially when she meets “Teddy.” What “Len’’ and “Teddy” have to talk about is beyond us, but it must be interesting for whatever the news is, it has to be told regardless of what bell has rung. What gossip isn’t told in school is told over the telephone for 989-W and 228-J are about the busiest lines in town. “Hel” has been our class secretary for two years. Was she an efficient one? We’ll say she was — and she surely could take down the minutes of the meetings in Shorthand — that writing which looked like Chinese to most of us. Along with Shorthand goes Typing. “Len” was also one of our Class Typists. Many were the hours she spent typing the write-ups and the rest of the material that went to make up our “Memorabilia.” She didn’t type with one finger either for she was as much at home at a typewriter as she is at a piano, and she was at home at the piano in Clinton High especially after the Candy Sales. What?? “Len” just now is a lawyer’s “stenog” and whether or not she will continue so after she leaves C. H. S. we do not know, but her classmates of ’29 wish her the greatest success in whatever she undertakes. 1323 45 iffirmnralitlta Though vanquished he could argue still RICHARD EGAN HANNEY “Bud” “Dick’’ General Course Whoopee! Look who’s here. Yes, sir, it’s none other than “Bud” Hanney, one of the fast stepping members of our class. “Bud” can be seen at almost all of our social functions and always seems to be on the best of terms with the op- posite sex. During his spare moments, “Bud” can be seen rushing around E. E. Gray’s chain store on High Street, accommodating the various demands of cus- tomers and racking his brain to sell them something whether they happen to want it or not. “Dick” never seemed to worry a great deal about his studies and yet he al- ways seemed to get along well. Of course, he could always be seen with an arm- ful of books coming and going from school but as to how many hours he pored over them each night — well, you’d better ask “Bud.” How about it, “Bud?” It seems just too bad to mention it but he has one very severe fault. Yes, folks, it’s a fact, “Bud” blushes quite often. We don’t know why, but somehow or other each time he is called upon for a recitation, our “Bud” — well, he just blushes furiously. If “Bud” can only overcome this failing, everything is going to be rosy. “Dick” is undecided as to where he is going to further his education but wherever he chooses to go, the best wishes for success from the Class of 1929 go with him. Goodbye, “Dick” boy, and good luck. 46 C‘ v )A«5J iMinuitrulnlta Hold the fort! I’m coming! FRANCIS PETER HASTINGS “Hanch” College Course Minstrel Show 1, 2; Interclass Dramatics 3; History Circle 4 The spot light is next turned upon the most diminutive member of our class — Francis Hastings. “Hanch” as he is familiarly known by all is a conscientious worker but always seems to have a little spare time to jo ke or amuse his friends with his winning ways. No one ever saw “Hanch” with a long face unless it was before a certain show in which he played a conspicuous part in his Junior year — and who of you wouldn’t get sore if some one discussed your possibilities of win- ning the grand prize of the 1928 National Baby Show. Francis has always been a faithful student and although he won’t be able to paper the wall of his room with testimonials when he graduates, still his work has been very satisfactory. He has been quite active in class affairs and has taken part in the various dramatics of our class. He IS undecided as to where he will further his education after his High School days are over but wherever he goes we know that he will be a success. We are all rooting for you “Hanch’’ and with you go the best wishes of the Class of 1929. 1929 47 iU mnrabtlta The quiet men are the great men JOSEPH JOHN HASTINGS “Joe” “Square” College Course Orchestra 4; French Club 4 We take great pleasure in presenting before your ver-r-y eyes the one and original “Joe Hastings.” “Joe” harks from the rugged peaks of “Burditt Hill,” a district locally known, nationally known, and internationally known. Unlike the hoys from the “hill,” “Joe” is rather quiet but he is by no means any “White- haired Willie.” He isn’t very much interested in the fair sex but in all other re- spects he is human. “Square” will never die from exhaustion from studying but nevertheless he is one of those fellows who know their matter. “Joe’s” marks read like a thermom- eter on the Fourth of July (inclement weather). “Joe” indulges in all he-man sports and he isn’t any “palooka” in any sport. He can take a kidding as well as any of the boys but when anyone goes past kid- ding they had better look-out. When “Joe” is finished with his preparatory work he intends to matriculate at Holy Cross. The Class of ’29 wishes him success in his chosen field and what Clinton High loses. Holy Cross gains. 48 H uutralnlta Isn’t it awful to be bashful? PAUL HENRY HASTINGS “Polly” General Course Interclass Football 2, 3, 4 Let us now introduce you to Paul Hastings, one of the quiet and studious boys of ’29. “Polly” never has much to say in any of the arguments that are held every recess in the Hall but he does a mighty bit of listening. “Polly’s” favorite pastime is fooling around the radio so there is a great deal of midnight oil burned when he starts tuning in on far western and European sta- tions. In studies “Polly” has always managed to pull through without much trouble or worry. Every one has some fault and “Polly’s” fault was ahvays trying th make a certain teacher know that he was right regardless of what she had to say. Paul was also a member of our Interclass Football teams and he proved that he could give a good account of himself when the occasion presented itself. For his life’s work, Paul has decided that he will become a radio engineer, and the Class of ’29 wishes him the best of luck in his chosen field. 1020 C 4 49 The mildest manners and the gentlest heart DOROTHY ELLEN HAYTER “Dot” “Dottie” College Course Minstrel Show 2, 3; Musical Comedy 4; Glee Club 1; A. A. 2, 3, 4; French Club 4: History Circle 4 Next on the program, may we introduce “our ‘Dot’?” She looks rather de- mure, doesn’t she? In fact, one might say that she seems quite bashful — and we’re not going to dispute it! “Dottie” has the reputation of being one of the very few quiet girls in the class, although this honor conferred upon her does not mean that she isn’t well-liked — far from it! There are very few in the whole school who do not know her, and who are not acquainted with her winning smile and cheery “Hello.” During her High School career, “Dot” has been noted for her willingness to help others. If we want a favor done, we always go to “Dottie,” because we know that she will do it cheerfully. ‘‘Dot” has ])een quite active in school affairs, and seems to enjoy nothing bet- ter than to watch a C. H. S. game (we wonder why — but oh, we can guess). “Dottie” has chosen Northfield Seminary as her destination. She doesn’t quite know what she will do after that, but we feel sure that because of her striking personality, she will succeed in anything she undertakes. Well, farewell, “Dot” and that you may have an abundance of Health, Wealth and Happiness, is the sincere wish of the Class of ’29. 50 v oAO vi AC ' vi)AO ' J)AC ' v AC ' vi) Ulinmtraltilui r AO r, A«3) r AO r, r.ive mo a place to stand and I will move the world JOHN JOSEPH HENIGHAN “Hoc” “Hank” “Pickles” General Course Football 3; Baseball 3; Basketball 3, 4 Here we have “Pickles” Henighan, one of our most versatile athletes, and also one of the most popular in our class. “Pickles” must be given great praise for the feat he has accomplished, that of finishing li.is High School course in less than four years. He entered High School while we were Sophomores and immediately began to show his athletic prowess by starring at fullback on the football team. In basketball “Pickles” proved a worthy addition to the team and his sparkling playing brought much applause from the enormous crowds that jammed the Armory to see the Celtic star perform. “Pickles” also held down a fielding berth on the baseball team. John is the fellow who comprises the “First” in the First National Stores and may be seen any day hustling the customers out at a local branch store. In spite of this demand on his time, he manages to get to all the social affairs of C. H. S. where he usually becomes actively engaged in the activities of the evening. “Hoc” has his mind set upon entering Fitchburg Normal, where we know the success which has attended him at C. H. S. will continue to remain with him dur- ing his career there. Good-bye, “Pickles,” old scout, and Good Luck. 1929 51 They that govern the most make the least noise WILLIAM FRANCIS HESTER “Wee” “Willie” College Course Class President 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee; Track 3; Football Manager 3; Interclass Football 3, 4; Senior Show Committee; French Club 4; History Circle 4 “Wee” has been onr president for the last two years and has certainly ful- filled all the duties of his office. Through his efforts, the Junior Prom and Senior Show were huge successes which made the financial difficulties of the class dis- appear. During his Senior year, “Wee” revealed a surprising amount of surprising knowledge. Although not a dancer he hasn’t missed a single social function in ' tlie past year. “Wee” is full of wisecracks and has enlivened many a gathering and class, as the faculty will testify. “Wee” was a member of our interclass Football and Track Teams and his athletic ability is well known. “Wee” surely woke his opponents up when he tackled them. In view of all these activities it seems strange that “Wee” has managed to secure a high ranking in all his classes but when the testimonial list is given out “Wee’s” name is always on it. “Wee” plans to eventually enter Holy Cross where ’29 is sure he will succeed, lie good, “Wee,” and good luck. 53 Oh why should life ull labor be? EARL CHARLES HINES “Hinsey” Commercial Course Business Club 4; History Circle 4 Introducing Earl Hines, one of the universal men of our class. Did you ever take a trip through the beautiful town of Lancaster on a week-day afternoon and see our Earl with his chauffeur’s uniform on driving about one of Lancaster’s noted millionaires? Well, if you haven’t, you ought to. “Hinsey” it seems has never had time to go in for athletics during his four years with us, but if there was a chauffeur’s team organized in the school, Earl would sure cut some ice. And How?? Earl is on hand at most of our class activities and is always ready and willing to lend assistance to help make any class work a success. You would always be able to distinguish our classmate in a group by his almost superfluous flow of words and the sight of those bay-window-like glasses that make one see visions of Harold Lloyd. Earl is one of the few male members of the class that finally wound up in the Commercial Course, but we are not surprised at this because Earl is one of the few in the class who finish what they start. “Hinsey” intends to further his schooling at Becker’s Business College. Who knows but that in a few years Earl may be occupying Room 3, and handing out P. M.’s to the unsophisticated “Frosh.” The best wishes of ’29 are with you, Earl. 53 iM mnrabilta She was quiet, studious, so it seemed. Wise, fair-spoken, and esteemed FLORA EMILY HOFFMAN “Brownie” “Flo” Normal Course Interclass Dramatics 1, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Honorary Member of Clinton Histori- cal Society; History Circle; German Club; Hiking Club 1, 2; A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Flora is one of our best students, a day never going by when “Flo” couldn’t re- cite her lessons almost without thinking. She’s equally proficient in all her su’o- jects and as for languages, “Flo” can talk in Latin and German almost as fluently as she can talk English. Nothing bothers “Brownie” in the line of studies — the hardest exam, the crossest teacher or the quarterly report never phased “Flo” and as for mid-year marks — they never went below “85.” “Flo” never has much to say outside of class. But in class she surely did shine, especially in the Music class, where she could talk as well as play. Music is one of her hobbies and she certainly can play Beethoven, Nevin and all the rest that mean nothing to most of us. Do not forget either, that “Flo” was an integral part of our Freshman and Senior interclass productions. Failing to win the cup on these occasions was no fault of hers, for there could be no criticism of her interpretation of her part. With high ambition and an earnest effort that is the key-note of her person- ality, she has spent her time getting the most out of her school days. As she goes out to future work she can look for every success and in all her future efforts she will have the best wishes of her classmates of 1929. 01 . 1 . 0 . WWWWWWWW‘ 54 iM utitrabtlta 2 Industry is the keynote to success CONSTANT JOSEPH JAKUBOWICZ “Con” “Jack’’ Commercial Course Interclass Football 4; Business Club 4 During his High School career “Con” was a faithful, studious fellow, and never failed to “pull down” a number of testimonials. He was a fellow who liked his books as well as getting out into the sporting atmosphere. For four years he participated in all the school activities; taking part in interclass football, l)asket- ball and baseball. He was always a fast man on the gridiron and gave the op- position plenty to think about. When the interclass track meets were held, that same speed made him an outstanding individual. Besides his scholastic and athletic ability “Jack” is a first class artist. Some of his drawings are very fine and rival some of our leading cartoonists. There is one characteristic that he possesses which everybody admires, and that is ambition. He aspires to be something and when he takes a task in hand it is sure to be accomplished successfully. Such a characteristic is sure to win him friends wherever he goes. As for “Con’s” further schooling he intends to go to Bryant Stratton Busi- ness School. His goal is to be an accountant. But besides his regular profes- sion he wants to take a course at the American Art School and follow paiiiun-, a vocation. The Class of 1929 sure gives him a hearty sendoff and hopes that he will enjoy his work. All the luck in the world goes with you, “Jack.” 1929 55 iUmnrabtUa A blush is beautiful, but sometimes iiiconveiiient ELSIE MARGARET JENDRICK “Teddy” “Buster” “El” Commercial Course Interclass Dramatics 1; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Honorary Member of Clinton Historical Society; Class Book Staff; Class Typist; Senior Show Committee; Business Club; A. A. 2, 3, 4 Now we come to one of our “used to be” studious girls — “used to be” because lately “Teddy” has abandoned her studying for something else. We wonder what???? Although she is enjoying herself to her fullest this year she still manages to get those coveted “85’s” which result in a walk to the front of the town hall every quarter. “Buster” is very fond of basketball games lately, and is sure to be seen at every game in the balcony of the Armory, always accompanied by Helen. “El” claims to be extremely interested in the games but we wonder if it’s the game or the players (guards especially) but sh! we can’t let the secret out. “El” was one of the reasons for our success in the Freshman Dramatics in which she showed us just how to go about the task of converting a woman-hater by a wink here and a smile there and we notice that she still holds on to that “wink and smile” device. “El” is one of our class typists and is frequently seen during her study periods “hammering the keys,” always keeping in mind our wonderful book to which she contributed greatly. “Teddy” wants to be “somebody’s stenog” and wherever it will be the Class of 1929 wishes her the best success. 56 A maiden modest yet self-possessed, Yoiilliful, athletic and trimly dressed MARY DOROTHIE JENNINGS “Mary D“ College Course Minstrel Show 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Show; A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Girls’ Varsity Basketball 3, 4; Track 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 2; Junior Prom Committee; French Club 4; Class Book Staff “Merry.” Whoever gave her that name knew what suited her, for our Mary is seldom seen without a smile and that necessary twinkle in her eye. Mary shows her prowess on the stage as a solo dancer but with a partner she does just as well. Mary is featured in all the sports up in Clinton High and when she isn ' t play- ing she’s on the sidelines helping the other sex along. Mary has a room full of medals at home, the results of her achievements on the cinder track. Sprints, jumps, etc., all are literally Mary’s meat. We advise everyone to be careful of their secret possessions when Mary is around because she cleverly depicted her stealthiness in the Senior Show. Although she is leaving the Class of ’29, Mary does not intend to deseik old C. H. S. for she feels that her future work calls for another year at that institu- tion. Best of luck, “Merry.” 57 iM mnralrtlta Go West, young man, go West MARTIN JOSEPH JOYCE “Nippy” “Nip” General Course Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Interclass Track 2, 3 Introducing “Nippy” Joyce, the diminutive star, southpaw twirler of our base- ball teams, the fast running elusive halfback of our football teams, our snaippy forward on our basketball teams, and in general our best all round athlete and most popular pupil. “Nip,” although starring in all sports, gained his greatest honor on the base- ball diamond. All opposition faded like a rainbow when “Nippy” served his puzzling curves to them. “Nippy” gets his greatest thrill by beating Leominster and he only beat them eight times. Sayles, a Leominster athlete, holds a warm place in “Nippy’s” heart. (Ask “Nip” about it). Some lucky prep school is going to have “Nippy” enroll, and watch its ath- letic stock jump. Whatever you intend to follow, “Nippy,” the Class of ’29 wishes you all the luck you deserve, and your classmates will always cheer you on to greater success. 58 lliniutrultUm It’s nice to be natural when you’re naturally nice ANNA FRAZER KELLEY “An” “Fraz” Normal Course Vice-President of ' 29 3, 4; Interclass Basketball 2, 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Hiking Club 3; Tennis Club 3; Field Day Committee 2, 3; Minstrel Show 2, 3; A. A. 1, 2, 3,4 Anna is one of the inseparables. Everyone knows that and it’s difficult to mention Anna without Helen, but, we intend to tell you about Anna, so here goes— - “An” is one of the most popular girls in the class, as was shown by the fact that she was elected vice-president for two years and carried the work on faith- fully and efficiently. It’s a treat to be in a class with “An” for she certainly knows wdien silence is too quiet for comfort (reference to Mr. McSherry). “Fraz” is seen frequently at the Senior Socials and having a good time and her cheer may be heard at all the High School games which she faithfully attends. Don’t get the idea that “An” doesn’t know her studies. Even the “other half” can’t figure out how she gets her studying done, but she certainly can put across a good recitation when she gets started. We’ve come to the conclusion that it must be a gift. “An” proves that she can draw more than attention by the fact that she is to further the study of art at the Boston Normal Art School. Farewell, Anna, and may your future days be bright and your happiness com- plete. 1329 59 iMvuutralttlm He was a man, take him for all in all, We shall not see his like again JOHN JOSEPH KELLY “Kel” General Course Basketball 3; Interclass Football 3; Varsity Baseball 4; History Circle; French Club; Senior Show Committee John slipped into Clinton High on one sultry day in September, joining us while we were just enjoying the first tingle of being full fledged sophomores. Since that date of entry, John has completed many miles of travel, the total of which, as statisticians wo uld say, would reach around the world several times if added to- gether. Few of us of ’29 can say that we traveled as far for an education as did John, for he has obtained this dreadful mileage total by his regular commuting from our neighboring metropolis of Lancaster. John has a genial disposition and abundant good nature, two admirable traits, which would be an asset to anyone. Is it any wonder, therefore, that he has be- come quite a favorite among his classmates? We first knew that John was athletically inclined when we saw him hooping the basketball with amazing regularity in our games in the Armory. After a iid research on our part, we found that he had already blossomed forth in Lancaster as a center. During his Senior year, John just naturally took position of the initial sack on our varsity baseball team and at the present writing has shown consistent ability in socking the pill far and wide. “Kel” is planning to enter the University of Illinois and we know that he will succeed. Good luck, John, from ’29. 60 ilinuitrultilta lOvery man has his I ' aults Ami honesty is his JAMES JOHN KERRIGAN “Jimmie” “Kerrie” College Course Interclass Football 3, 4; Interclass Dramatics 1, 3, 4; Treasurer of ’29 2, 3, 4; ' , Minstrel Show 1, 2; Ring Committee; French Circle; History Circle; A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee “Jimmie,” another product of the now famous Duck Harbor Naval Academy, has made a great reputation for himself at Clinton High. “Jimmie” is a very popular fellow in the class, which is proven by the fact that he was elected our Class Treasurer for three consecutive years, an honor rarely won by any student. As Treasurer he handled the financial end of the class with such integrity and honesty that he has won the praise and confidence of all his admiring classmates. “Kerrie” is also one of the brilliant students of the class and is always ready to lend a helping hand to those who find it a little difficult to make the grade. Aside from his scholastic and financial duties “Jimmie” finds time to engage in the social activities of the class, at which he is always a popular figure. “Kerrie” seems to find great joy at all the Senior dances, where he is found not infrequently dancing with a certain officer of the — well, we won’t tell, “Jimmie.” “Jimmie’s” attentions are nov turned toward Harvard, where he will enter the College of Business Administration and where because of his popularity and intelligence he will bring great fame to dear old Twenty-Nine — Be good, “Jim,” old pal, and good luck! 61 Ulinnnrabtlm Life is a jest and all things show it JOHN FRANCIS KERRIGAN “Johnnie” “Kerrie” Technical Course Junior Prom Committee; Class Book Staff; A. A. 2, 3, 4 It will require but one glance at the fascinating photograph above to know that we speak the truth when we class “Johnnie” as one of our “shieks.” Yes, sir, he certainly can knock ’em dead. But does he permit this much-to-be-longed- for quality to interfere with his student activities? Emphatically, no! On the contrary, when testimonial day rolls around at the end of every quarter, we always see “Kerrie” bearing home his load of proofs of his scholastic achievement. It has always been a puzzle to us, his humble classmates, “how he got that way.” “Kerrie” is the proud owner of a well-known and an easily recognizable “Ford” and we have always and often conjectured where he journeys on his lone- ly sojourns in the aforesaid “Henry.” Although “Johnnie” has never seen fit to participate in varsity athletics, his student activities have been many and varied. Why, even this year, he has been on so many committees, etc., that frequently he found his different activities con- flicting with one another and so had to step pretty lively all year. Aside from all this John has been preparing himself for Northeastern Univer- sity and we all know the tough exams they require. Well, “Kerrie,” we, your aforesaid humble classmates, wish you all the luck there is to be had. 62 Unmiralttlui If pUiy iiilerreres with work, drop w ork PAUL JOSEPH KERRIGAN “Paulie” “Kerrie” “Al” College Course Minstrel Show 2; Interclass Football 1, 2, 3; Interclass Basketball 1, 2; French Club 4 “Paulie” is one of the most popular members of our class. A stranger would think that “Paulie” was what he seems, a quiet, unassuming boy but as one be- comes better acquainted how rudely that idea is shattered. Although his recitations (when he had one) were not brilliant he has added the faculty to his host of friends. Somehow “Paulie” seems to have slipped through his four years without any apparent effort. “Kerrie” is well-known as a jazz artist and his terpischorean activities have taken him to our more popular dancing resorts. “Panlie’s” activity in the future is undetermined but whatever he does in after years ’29 knows that the crowd will be pulling for him. 1929 63 iMintuTrabtlm Dark of hair ami (luiet of speech, “Beil” is a regular peach BENNERY MARY KITTREDGE “Ben” Normal Course Junior Prom Committee Beniiery came to join our ranks (luring our Freshman year. She was a rather shy person at first, but she soon outgrew that pose, and made a great number of friends. Bennery is one of the few people who are especially talented among our class- mates. The Muse who was in attendance at her christening was “Art.” Do you recall her poster for “Oh, Kay?” “Ben” is a very willing person when anyone desires help on any subject. You should see Flora and her doing their Chemistry together. The air is fairly full of flying atoms. She is very much interested in all sports, both as a participant and as a spec- tator. She especially likes swimming. Bennery has a very acute sense of humor and very often you hear her burst out laughing at some point not appreciated by the majority of us. This helps to relieve the monotony of some classes. “Ben” intends to continue her education at Boston Normal Art School. W ' ' are sure that she will be successful in the years to come. Class of ’29 wishes you Good Luck, “Ben.” 64 lUnunralTtlta Silence is Uio perpet uiil herald of joy FRANK KLOC “Charlie” Technical Course Interclass Basketball 1; Interclass Football 4; History Circle 4 Frank is one of the quietest members of the class. He is that modest fellow whom we all admire, but whom few of us have had the opportunity of knowing real well because of his strict attendance to his own affairs. He is a member of the History Circle which meets in Room 5, however, there is one thing that we could never imagine Frank doing and that is getting into a lively discussion or debate such as is conducted up there with Mr. McGrail. He is also a frequent attender at the athletic games played under local school management. Frank is one of the select group who chose mathematics as one of his main subjects and with which he has stuck faithfully each year. His intention is to further his knowledge at some technical institution and become an engineer. Whatever school may be his choice, we all feel sure that he will make out well because of his sincere and solemn ways, and Aviili him go the confidence and best wishes of the Class of 1929. 1923 C 0 65 Of quiet and studious attitude is he HAROLD ARTHUR LAMLEIN “Lemme” Technical Course Debating Club 3; Debating Team 3; Senior Show Committee Now we come to one of our best students. Harold is able to get testimonials in most every subject. Harold’s best field is mathematics and the way be can solve problems in algebra, geometry, physics, trig, and solid makes us all sit up and take notice. He is everywhere recognized as our best math student and may some day, who knows, plan a new High School for Clinton. “Lemme” does not let math take all bis time. Last year he made himself beard in the Debating Society by winning one of the Junior positions on the var- sity Debating Team and went to Leominster to show them that he could break down their arguments. Harold although one of the less noisy members of our class has not by any means slipped into oblivion and has a large number of friends. Most of his friends however are among the boys since he knows, as few of us do, that studies come first and dances and pleasure second. Yet those hoy friends who know him best, know that Harold is an all round good fellow who will treat you right at all times. When Harold marches up to receive his diploma among the honor pupils, the Class of ’29 will surely he glad he was one of its members. Harold has not de- cided what he will do, but the Class of ’29 wishes him good luck and feels certain that he will uphold Clinton High prestige in any school of higher education that he might select. 66 iE mnrabtUa Infinite riches in a little room LEO ALFRED LAVERDURE College Course Interclass Football 2, 4; Varsity Baseball 2, 3, 4 Aha! Laverdure, the little man of the class. Never mind, Leo, good things come in small packages and remember it isn’t everybody who can play shortstop. Oh yes, Leo is some little ball player! As the shortstop of the ’28 team, he proved his worth. Leo has spent four years in C. H. S. but during all that time he hasn’t changed one-fourth of a degree, but he sure is a great classmate. Leo is also somewhat of a football player. During his Sophomore and Junior years he played on the interclass football teams and showed his prowess as a linesman. Leo is one of our quiet boys. One never hears of him looking for a new study room or writing out the Declaration of Independence. In fact, he is so quiet that he had us wondering what he did with himself while he was not playing baseball. Then, we found out that Leo in his spare time was learning to manipulate a Pon- tiac. And Leo is also one of the busy men of the class for when he isn’t home burn- ing the midnight oil he can be found busily waiting on trade behind the counter in a little uptown grocery store. Leo plans to enter Holy Cross in the fall and we realize he will succeed as he did in four years with our class. Good luck, Leo! 1923 67 ll ntitrabtUa There’s a time for all things DEXTER ELLIOT LINTON “Deck” College Course Interclass Basketball 1; Interclass Football 2, 3; Varsity Football 4; Varsity Basketball 3, 4; Captain of Basketball 4; Assis nt Manager of Baseball 3; Manager of Baseball 4; Junior Prom Committee; Senior Show; French Club 4 Now we come to one of our all around sports — “Deck.” “Deck” didn’t play Football until his Senior year at C. H. S. and oh, what a player we missed. He came through with flying colors — as usual — especially in the Milford Game. In Basketball “Deck” was our noble Captain as well as higli scorer for the year. I ' lie whole team seemed to center around this little fellow, who looked upon Basketball as “King of All Sports.” In Baseball “Deck” was our manager, and manager of a very successful team at that. But he not only excelled in Sports, for in his Senior year he took a very prominent part in “Oh, Kay.” Outside of school “Deck” was always a favorite of the opposite sex — especially at a dance hall. No matter what happened, he was at every dance that he could possibly get to, and always enjoying himself immensely. No matter where “Deck” went “Wisey” was with him and vice versa. Be- sides being inseparal)le they always appeared together with their green sweaters and their letters, and as for expressions it was always. Right? — Right. “Deck” is going to continue his education at Springfield College and he goes there with the best wishes for success from all his classmaTes of ’29. G8 She never failed to please LUCILLE ASENATH LINTON “Ciel” “Cielie” General Course Junior Prom Committee; Senior Show Committee; French Club 4; History Circle 4; Science Club 3; A. A. 2, 3, 4 No checkered career, this; her past is as white as the driven snow. A duti- ful daughter, a gentlewoman, a scholar and first in the hearts of fellow-studeius is she. Who can match her sang-froid as she trips blithely “an tableau” and demonstrates a proposition in solid? Who can withstand the scorn of the glam-o she casts upon him who dared to find a mistake that wasn’t there? Elcho answers none. But one thing her fault — she is fully capable of talking, from the ornate por- tals of this hall of learning, to and including the corner of Sterling and Greeley Streets. More and worse, she usually intersperses her oratory with large chewey French phrases. Her lustrious ability is well developed although it is demonstra- ted to but a chosen few. Included in her repertoire is a Bostonian accent whicli is nothing less than devastating. “Ciel” is one of the few who pull down five and six testimonials every quar- ter, but she is most emphatically not a grind. Lucille has not yet decided whether she will return to the portals of C. 11. G. or whether she will grace some institution of higher learning. Whatev( 3 r may be your ultimate destination, “Ciel,” may your future life be brightened by happiness and success. 1329 G9 oAO oAO oAO Cj)AO oAO Or ll morabtlta A happy disposition is a gift of the gods LIBBY LYNETTE LONG “Lib” College Course Minstrel Show 1, 2; French Club 4; Debating Club 3; History Club 4; Junior Prom Committee Could anyone ever imagine Libby passing up a good time for an evening of hard study? She never worried much but she certainly “got there.” Libby can drive a “Hup” so as to make it dangerous for anyone who tries to interfere with the part of the road she wants. We’ve often wondered why she bothered to go past Room 6 instead of Room .5 on her way to the Chemical Lab. But that’s her own business and it certainly is good. “Lib” has a peculiar way of interpreting U. S. History, which is perhaps one of the reasons why most of the giggles come from that part of the room. But let’s remember that Libby’s popularity is not confined to C. H. S. for she has a great many friends outside of school as well as in. Libby is good in almost every thing but in one thing she excels — that’s talk- ing. Ye Gods, how she can talk! “Lib” is another one of the “Inseparable Four” which is usually seen in Room 8 at recess. “Lib” certainly can plan a good time as anyone of the members of the French Club will testify. Libby plans to enter Smith College after leaving us and we know that she will be just as popular there as in Clinton High. 70 ilinmiralTtlta jSx jSx I am sure care’s an enemy to life CATHERINE FRANCES MAITLAND “Caddy” “Cathie” Normal Course Senior Show; Interclass Basketball 2, 3; Cheer Leader; Glee Club 1, 2; Field Day Committee What’s all that noise in the entry? Oh, we know, it’s “Caddy” looking for the nickel that should be in her pocket but never is, for recess time is lunch time for “Caddy.” “Caddy” is one of our cheer-leaders and this gives her a good opportunity to get a better view of the players. This year she has been quite keen on basket- ball but we’ll bet there is a good reason behind it. “Cathie” is one of our most humorous girls, especially in the art of mimiclv- ing “Mrs. O’Riley” and if you have not had the favor of listening to her, you surely have missed something. “Caddy” is one of those girls, who, when they leave High School, can honestly say they had one corking good time. But she doesn’t let pleasure interfere too much with work, for her report card is never decorated with red marks. As everyone knows, the Senior play was a huge success and much credit is due “Caddy” for her part in the play. Resides talking a great deal, “Caddy” with “Lib’s” help, has devised a new deaf and dumb code which is used to much advantage in History and which helps out in many “crucial moments.” “Caddy” intends to be “somebody’s stenog” and we know that her happy disposition will carry her through any difficult work she may undertake. Best of luck from ’29. 1929 71 fK mnraiitlta It’s the songs ye sing and the smiles ye wear That’s amaking the sunshine everywhere EUPHEMIA MARION MAITLAND “Enphie” “Fifie” “Enph” Normal Course Dramatics 2, 3; Senior Show; Minstrel Show 1, 2, 3; His.ory Club; Glee Club 1, 2; Debating Club; A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Who’s that girl with the wonderful smile and those big brown eyes? Oh that’s “Enphie.” Yes, “Eiiphie’s” smile is known all over High School and even the thoughts of an exam don’t seem to erase it. And as for its helping her get out of a P. M. — oh, we’ll ask ‘ Enph” about that. “Euphie’s” nights are usually pretty busy. We wonder why? But then we must remember “Fifie’s” quite a popular girl and not only with her own sex either. Probably that explains the dreamy look in her eyes the morning after the night before. But stop, let’s not get too personal. As an actress “Fifie’s” superb. Whatever part she undertakes she makes a hit. Remember what she hit in the Senior Show? Well, never mind, life’s full of hard knocks anyway. “Enphie” is an ardent supporter at all our games and whether she is razzing the team or cheering it, her loyalty is never doul)ted. Let’s not forget “Eui)hie” drives a car and when she isn’t tipping it over or exceeding the speed limit, she’s pretty good. But don’t get a wrong impression, she sure can manipulate the wheel and a car came in handy now and then in visiting certain districts of the town. Euphemia plans to go into training after graduation but whether as an act- ress, nurse, or Ims driver, we know our “Fifie” will be successful. 72 iMfmnralttUa 5 Gf His heart is in his work JOHN GILMORE MANTER “Johnnie” College Course Editor-in-chief of Class Book 4; Debating Team 3; Vice-President of Debating So- ciety 3; Treasurer of French Club 4; Orchestra 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee; Honorary Member of the Clinton Historical Society; Interclass Track 3; Interclass Football 1, 2, 3; Varsity Football 4 John entered the vast portals of Clinton High, looked around and began to conquer. He soon found his stride and has held it through these four short years with much credit to himself which accounts for those loaded testimonials which he receives every quarter. However, John has stood up well under the strain since he has such good abilities on the track. His ability as an athlete has been well demonstrated to us. His good pair of runners have pounded down the cinders on Fuller Field to good advantage for Clinton High and the Class of ’29. Ill his literary achievements “Johnnie” again stands out as a genius. He heads the staff as Editor-in-chief of the greatest class book that has ever been published. When John can not train his sturdy paces, he keeps his wind up by blowing on that well known trumpet. He has indeed added great quality and quantity in noise to the distinguished High School Orchestra. With this same weapon he has become renowned for his own troubadours. John is heading for Yale and we all know he will give the old Yale Bulldog some good airings. Keep up the good work John. 1923 73 iirmnrabtUa His thoughts are so profound and deep, That sometimes in class he seems asleep FRANCIS JOSEPH MESSENGER “Mess” “Messie” College Course Class President 2; Interclass Dramatics 1, 2; Minstrel Show 1, 2; Junior Prom Committee; Varsity Football 3, 4; Interclass Football 1, 2; Class Ring Committee; History Circle 4 There is a banging of desk covers and the thud of books on the floor and loud voices are heard. Another class riot? Nay ’tis only Messenger and Fadgeii settling dispute about French IV. “Messie” came to the fore as an actor in our first show “Not Quite Such a Goose” and showed promise of success as a “legit.” He is also quite an athlete which we learned when we saw him as quarter- back of our Sophomore Interclass Team and as a Varsity player for the next two years. “Messie” claims as his favorite occupation “doing things” and the list of activities as shown above verifies this. He was an active worker for all of our class activities and the success of these enterprises was due in no small measure to his efforts. Although he never misses a dance “Messie” seems to carry off his share of testimonials without much consumption of “the midnight oil.” “Mess” was our Sophomore Class President and showed his ability when we were all flustrated about our class rings. “Mess” intends to matriculate to Clark University and his classmates of 1929 join in wishing him success.

In fact, she can hold her own against any of the taller girls, as you may readily find out by questioning her companions. She is always to be seen at the football and basketball games with “Goldy,” who is her constant shadow, and Mary there displays her school spirit, of which she has an abundance. For her size, “Mare” can certainly talk. At recess, anyone coming through the hall usually finds “Mare” in the midst of one of her lengthy talks. Usually a person with such a reputation is avoided but not so “Mare.” She is always surrounded by a clamoring group of interested listeners and those who aren’t in the group make it their business to get into it. But in class “IVlare” refuses to fool; she believes in the saying, “Work while you work, and play while you play,” and her angelic expression would deceive you if you didn’t really know her. Mary’s popularity is due to her sunny disposition and her readiness to give a helping hand to a friend. She is especially kind to the Chinese. I think some of you know what I mean!! “Charlie” is a loyal little friend to all who know her and many a one has been cheered by her sunny smile. “Maisie” is certainly one reason why 1929 was a success and wherever she goes, she will always make many friends. Good luck, Mary, the luck of ’29 is with you. X329 75 iTOfmflralitlia Common sense is not so common WILLIAM VINCENT McINTYRE “Rill” “Mac” College Course Interclass Football 1, 3, 4 Clear the way! Here comes the special delivery boy on his trusty bicycle. “Mac” entered the freshman class a meek little chap, hut his contact with other members of the class, who were less cpiiet than himself, caused him to be- come more and more mischievous, until now, one would hardly know he was the same hoy. We shall always remember him in Room 8, writing his sentence on the front board, so large that we could see it a mile away. Ills witty remarks are well known throughout the school, especially in Room 8. His greatest pleasure is to hear the click of the ivories down at “Doin’s” and by that I don’t refer to the piano, although he is quite an accomplished musician. We have seen him on the football field fighting for his team in many of the interclass games. His fine work both at guard and center was always worthy of praise and many times it has contributed largely to winning the game. I hope that I am not giving you (he idea that “Rill” is not a studious hoy. On the contrary, one never sees “Mac” out nights until he has his lessons done. Many times when we didn’t do our Latin, “Mac,” would never hesitate to do it for us. “Mac” thinks that he may go to Amherst, and we are all sure that he will stand out in the affairs of that school as he has here. 76 iUiniutralttlta Stciiiii” ' ;iro her (lualil U ' s VIRGINIA MAY NEWHALL “Giiinie” “Gin” Normal Course Virginia, better known as “Ginnie” by her numerous friends, is one of Sterl- ing’s contributions to C. H. S. We might say of her “Dimple in the chin is the sign of the devil within.” And this is certainly true of “Ginnie.” Although she appears to be very quiet, we who know her well, know that she is full of fun. We hear that ice skating is her favorite sport, with sliding a close second. We can’t see how she ever keeps up in her studies, she spends so much time on winter sports, but she seems to know her lessons as one can see by her numer- ous testimonials. Some one said that she had a wonderful blush, but we never get a chance to see it. We wonder who the privileged character can be? “Gin” can be seen every noon waiting to return to Sterling, and once she gets there she seldom comes back until the next day. Lucky she doesn’t have to re- port for P. M. sessions very often! Her plans for the future are indefinite but whatever she does, the Class of ’29 wishes her success. 1323 77 Joy iM mnrabtUa rises in me like a summer moon TERESA ELIZABETH NOON “Tess” “Ten” “Liz” “Tessie” Normal Course Minstrel Show 1, 2; A.

T.” Now “Tess” is not exactly T. N. T., hut she is somewhat of a chemical. (When she wished, all the combined elements which make up a pleasing, aninfated, bright and real girl, were in evidence). No one is able to remain staid and pom- pous when she is around. When people annoy their neighbors in Study they are quite apt to be re- quested to seat themselves in a front row. But Teresa was an exception, for when a Freshman made herself unbearable she gracefully betook herself up front. “Tess” is good and all that but not quite unselfish enough to give up a good seat for a perfectly horrible one; so we investigated the matter and found a logical and charming reason for it, but to state the reason would be a bit disloyal “so thus be it.” You can always tell when “Ten” is within a radius of one or two miles and this remarkable feat is accomplished by a most remarkable voice. Frankly “Tess” has a wonderful voice. (?) “Tessie” intends to grace the halls of Fitchburg Normal with her animated presence. F itchburg is very lucky in this respect for Teresa would be an asset to any school. May your spirits never be dampened, and may you never lose your pep is the ardent and sincere wish of 1929. 78 iH mnrabtUa He trudged alon not knowing what he sought, And he whistled as he went for want of thought WILLIAM FRANCIS O’GRADY “Bill” College Course Interclass Football 1, 3, 4; Interclass Basketball 1; Junior Prom Committee; French Club 4; History Circle 4 “Rill” is a very quiet lad at intervals, but where are the intervals? And the rest of the time, Oh, well! Just look out for fighting “Bill.” Did you ever see “Bill” excited? Mr. Kelly has often contributed with Mr. McIntyre to arouse the temper of Sir William. In some mysterious way “Bill’s” desk is considered as a filling station by these two friends of Mr. O’Grady. How- ever, “Bill” thinks otherwise and his actions indicate his thoughts. His activities outside of school have been shown in his love for the piano. Also Mr. O’Grady was once a good Boy Scout, and in his later life has dropped off the Boy. “Bill’s” activities in school have been devoted to the Class of ’29. To remind “Bill” of his class he wears the numerals of his class on his mighty chest. He won these numerals fighting for his class in the favorite interclass football se- ries and interclass basketball series. As a social sheik, “Bill” is quite distinguished. In the French Club and His- tory Circle he is a well known figure. With his happy disposition we know “Bill” will succeed in everything that he takes up. Best of luck “Bill” from ’29. 79 iJInunrabilta That which she will, she does AGNES WINIFRED O MALLEY “Ag” “Shrimp” Normal Course Minstrel Show 2, 3; Glee Club 1, 2; Senior Show Committee; History Circle; Science Club; Hiking Club 3; A. A. 3, 4 Next let us introduce Agnes, althongh we admit she doesn’t need one, never- theless, it is polite to do so. If we were to write Agnes np four years ago as a Freshman, we certainly would not know how to begin, because she was one of those quiet girls, but she certainly did change this shy attitude during her Junior year. Now, therefore, as a Senior, we can easily write her up without any questions at all. Agnes always was there with the cheering when it came to school sports. When it came to studies, she was never guilty of burning midnight oil, but she managed to get by somehow. Although Agnes never took part in any school socials, she always favored them with her presence. She always enjoyed herself at a Dance, and very sel- dom was seen sitting out. “Ag” is one of these girls who believes in the old say- ing, “You’re only young once.” And who wouldn’t agree with her? Agnes hasn’t decided as yet what will be her destination but we all knoiw whatever she undertakes will be a success. The best of luck from ’29 goes with you, Agnes.

Whenever there is a disturbance in class, you can be sure that “Johnny” has nothing what- ever to do with it. Although “Smoody” has been with us for four years there are still some members of the Senior class who do not know that “Johnny” is one of us. During his Junior and Senior years he had the tough luck of being isola- ted from both Room 5 and the Hall. John has gained for himself some reputation as an athlete. For “Johnny” on these teams sure did pull off some neat plays. It seems that “Johnny” hasn’t much time to devote to affairs outside of school hours, for his lime is taken up managing O’Malley’s grocery store on Rur- ditt Hill. But when the spring sun begins to brighten up “Johnny’s” spirits, he sure does forget that managing business and gets out on the old sand lot and does his stuff. For “Smoody” sure does swing the bat on those Burditt Hill nines. John’s plans for the future are not yet complete but wherever he may go he will always know that C. H. S. ’29 wishes him the best of luck.

Nearly all of us have heard of Lancaster, however, to save all confusion, it is said to be located beyond the northern frontier of Clinton adjoining the town of Sterling. For a while after his matriculation, John was rather aloof to our high grade of civilization. In a very short time he became used to it and to us. After he became acquainted he established himself firmly in our ranks. He always is welcome anywhere with his cheerful angelic visage. The midnight oil is oft kept burning to light the ideas and ideals of “Ozzy” along the pathway of Testimonials. No matter if he has to push the heroic bus from the wilds into town or has passed the greater part of the night preparing for the next day, he appears the next morning with his gay countenance. As an athlete “Jack” has confined himself to two major exercises. Tennis has claimed John and to this he gives forth his vim and vigor to the limit. His other specialty is tripping “the light fantastic.” “Johnnie” has become well known in the social circles of Clinton High School. John plans to enter M. I. T. and become an aviator. With his old fight and perseverance we are sure John will attain his goal with success.

His real prowess was in football; and there he stood out as one of the finest Clinton High has ever had. As a letter man in his junior year he was chosen to captain the next year’s team. However, not to be outdone in the other sports he held down a regular position on the baseball and basket- ball teams. As a catcher he was “there” with the “chatter” and could handle a mean hall. When basketball season rolled around, one could see him any Friday night in the Armory bolstering up the defense in a guard position, and not a few times, when on the offense, did he electrify the crowd with his long shots. “Mike” does not give all his time to sports and affairs outside of school for he is a clever student. His name has never failed to be present on the testimon- ial list and that is saying something. As a debater, “Frank” has to he consid- ered — ask “Ernie.” The president of our “Le Circle Francais” is none other than — yes, you’ve guessed it, and why not? — for he makes a very good one. Dartmouth has been chosen by “Eff” in his quest for knowledge. The pro- fession of a teacher or a lawyer seems to be his goal. 83 m uumilitUa Helen always did her best To make eacdi school activity a success HELEN IRENE OTOOLE “Hof ' “Pathos” “Toolie” “Chocolate” Norma!

A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Xo use to introduc e Helen, of course. She’s the other inseparable — ’nuff said. “Pathos” is one of the liveliest and also one of the wittiest members of our class. Evidence of these qualities was shown when she was quietly but firmly ejected from five different study rooms (we bet she was telling jokes). “Pathos” never missed a dance and certainly knew her dance hall tactics. “Toolie” is one of our cheer leaders and what she doesn’t know about “cheer- leading” isn’t much, as the rooters can all attest. Helen is the chief reason why i Ir. McS. — ry thinks cheer leaders need no megaphones. “Len” was never seen overburdened with books but she managed to get her “points.” Helen as a member of the Girls’ Basketball Team did her share. She was always ready to put un a good fight and was an indispensable player. Even though she did “Faw down” a few times while playing, she managed to hold the ball and to send it across the line. “Pathos” certainly could “Strut her stuff” — excuse the vernacular — on the basketball court. Helen is hound for Bay Path Institute and we know that she will be success- ful in her chosen career. “Pathos” has the very best wishes of the Class of 1929 for her future success. “Goodbye” Helen and “Good Luck.” 84 illinmmibilta And true she is As she proved herself MARY AGNES O’TOOLE “Red” “Goldie” “Mamie” Commercial Course Business Club 4; Glee Club 1, 2; Minstrel Show 1, 2; A.

Mary is an- other of those lucky girls whom the teachers like in their classes. You see, she is never annoying though it must be admitted that she enjoys a good joke as well as another and can always be relied upon to giggle with the rest. Of course, once in a while her desire to talk gets the better of her and sometimes proves disastrous as can be proved by the little incident in Room 5! Then there is another side to Mary’s character. There is a certain office ( n High Street in which Mary holds sway as “stenog.” We wonder if that explains the steady business with which that particular office is blessed. One would think that with all “Goldie’s” self-imposed tasks, she would never be found at a place of amusement, but always she is present at school socials and to all appearances seems to have a wonderful time. Mary says, in regard to her future, it is the business life that interests her the most, so she will continue her studies at Bryant Stratton and we know that with her steadfastness and quiet sincerity she is bound to succeed. The best of luck from 1929 is with you, Mary, in the days to come. 1920 85 Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice JAMES TOBIAS PHILBIN “Beef” “Scratch” “Jimmy” College Course History Club; Interclass Football; Minstrel Show 2, 3, 4; Senior Show In casting a finger along our list of famous actors we come to “Jimmy.” “Beef” has been with us four years and has certainly become popular among us. In dramatics “Jimmy” is especially popular. In “The Bridal Wail” he and his partner John O’Malley made the hit of the evening in their comedian sketches which sure did make us roar. “Scratch” also showed his skill in his impersona- tion of an old man in “Oh! Kay” and he sure made a hit with the audience. As a classmate “Jimmy” is one of our wittiest and best liked members. We may also be sure to see him at all our social activities because he loves to dance and has got a peculiar attraction for the weaker sex. He is also a great sport fan and makes it a point to attend all the games. “Beef” is also quite a student and has shown that he is generally able to pull down some testimonials. In Miss Walsh’s room he has made himself famous as an impersonator of “Macbeth.” “Jimmy” aims for Holy Cross where he can not help but make good both in his studies and activities. The Class of ’29 wishes you luck “Jimmy” and knows you will succeed. 8G ' AO v AO i I ilinmtraltilta Give every nuui thy voice, hut few thy ear RICHARD JOSEPH PHILBIN “Dick” “Phil” Technical Course Varsity Football 3 The class of ’28 lost hut the class of ’29 gained when “Dick” was forced to take another year at Clinton High because of sickness. “Dick” is very well liked by all who are his acquaintances. If you are in the “dumps” and want to lose your troubles, go to “Dick” because he has plenty of wit and is full of fun. “Phil” went out for football last year and was making good but fortune was against him and he was hurt so that he lost en ough time to be compelled to join the Class of 1929. This is the reason why you did not see Philbin r. g. in the foot- ball lineup. “Phil” has shown ns that he can get testimonials by pulling them down in Solid. “Dick” is a regular attendant at all the High School games and maybe that is why the foothball team has a jinx lately. “Phil” and “Jimmie” Tattersall spend most of their afternoons together run- ning a store and any time you want to see their thriving establishment just walk to the corner of Water and Hammond Streets. Philbin is bound for Worcester Tech where we are sure he will make a lot of friends as he has done here. The Class of ’29 wishes him good luck in all his engineering feats and has confidence that he will succeed. vJ AO v 5 A vi AO vJ) iK mnrahtlta OAO AO v AO vj)AO «i 7 Just tlo your best, and praise or blame that follow out Count just the same I ALICE ANTOINETTE PRADERIO “Al” “Midget” “Specks” Normal Course Minstrel Show 1, 2; Glee Club 1, 2; Hiking Club 1; A. A. 3, 4; Field Day Com mittee 3; German Club 4; French Club 4 “Al” contributes her share very readily to the noise in the Hall. Evidently there is no truth in the expression, “Silence is of Gold,” as far as she is con- cerned. “Specks” is one of those snappy salesgirls who bring so much trade to; a store. Her smile and manner is a great asset to her there. “Al” is also clever and receives testimonials frequently, as a sign of her al)ility. She doesn’t have to study until the wee hours every night, to receive these testimonials, as many of us do. But “Specks” is not always the industrious girl, for she manages to seek enjoyment and pleasure. At all games played under C. H. S. management, she is there, the faithful I ' ooter to encourage and urge on our boys and girls. Alice intends to enter the ranks of the white caps, and we know if patience and disposition count in this profession, (and as they do (tount), then we are sure “Al” will be a success. May your future days be as happy as (hose spent within the walls of dear old C. H. S. Luck and happiness from your friends of ’29. 88 A merry heart goes all the way NATALIE RITA PRADERIO “Nath” “Nacldie” “Jimmie” Normal Course French Club; German Club; Minstrel Show 1, 2; Glee Club 1, 2; Junior Prom Committee; A. A. 2, 3, 4 Now we turn on the spotlight, and Vviio appears but “Nath,” one of the wit- tiest members of onr class. She may appear to be quiet and reserved, but looks are certainly deceiving for she certainly contributes her share of noise to the never quiet hall. But though talking and joking may have its role, don’t think “Naddie” ne- glects her studies. Yon must have seen her strutting up quarterly, to receive her many testimonials. “Jimmie” brings sunshine into onr class and proves a worthy friend, wheji she lends a helping hand, readily, to those less fortunate than she. “Naddie” certainly likes her sports too, and, is an ardent admirer of basket- ball, as was evident by her presence every Friday night at the games in the Armory. Of course this afforded an excellent opportunity for her ready wit and humor. “Jimmie” is our youngest graduate, although surely not our smallest. Who- ever said “Good things come in small packages,” mustn’t have heard of onr “Jim” for she contradicts this statement. “Naddie’s” youth necessitates her return to C. TI. S. for another year as a F. G. Then she plans to enter Boston University and honor them with her preseiic ' for four years, in order to become “line grande institutrice.” May luck and suc- cess follow her is the wish of ’29. 1929 89 iJl uuiralnlta None knew her but to love her, None named her but to praise MARY ELINOR QUINN “Quinnie” Normal Course Interclass Dramatics 1, 2, 3; Vice-President 2; Senior Show; Junior Prom Com- mittee; French IV Club; History Circle; Glee Club; Girls’ Basketball 1; Minstrel Show 2 , 3; Athletic Association 1, 2 , 3, 4; Class Book Staff; Class Ring Committee The spotlight is now turned on Iha y and who is there among ns who is not aware of Mary’s elusive charm and her sunny and likeable disposition? Mary has hosts of friends and not merely girl friends either. She is one of the most talented girls in the class and her dramatic ability is well known to all of ns. She took a leading part in all of the plays presented by the Class of ’29 and always carried otf her jiart to perfection. “(Quinnie” takes special enjoyment in attending all the C. H. S. games and she certainly does give support to the teams. Then too, no social event is com- plete unless “Our Mary’’ is present at it, and may it be said here that she never lacks a partner. Just glance at the list of Mary’s activities and yon will get a glimmer of an idea how much in demand she is. As a member of the Class Rook staff she had complete charge of the Dramatic section and her enthusiasm and talent has helped make Memorabilia XVI the best ever. “(ininnie’s’’ destination in September is Boston University. At this institu- tion, we feel sure she will attain great heights. You have always been a true pal, Mary, and yonr many, many friends in the Class of ’29 wish you the best suc- cess ever. 90 Ulinmtralttlta (Jeiulcmeii prel ' er lUondes JOSEPH JOHN ROBINSON “Robbie” “Joe” “Andy” College Course Minstrel Show 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee; Interclass Football 3; Intei- class Stage Manager 3; Interclass Dramatics 4 “Joe” is, without a doubt, one of the most popular boys iii the class and his one very prououuced trait is his good-hearteduess. He is always ready to lend a helping hand and everything that “Joe” does is accomplished smilingly. He is one boy in our class who is never found with a gloomy expression on his face which goes to show that “Andy” does not worry over his school work. If it were not for “Joe” the Hall vviild surely seem “dead” at recess — ask the boys. As an actor “Robbie” may be regarded as one of the foremost in the class. His superb acting in onr class shows has won praise on all sides. “Joe” drives a Buick and this car is seen rather frequently rolling over a bridge in a cej’tain part of the town! “Joe” attends all the class social activities and is always accompanied by “that certain party.” “Robbie” is always a favorite and a popular figure at these socials. “Joe” aside from all amusements has a great ambition to further his educa- tion, and to this end he plans to betake himself to St. Anselm’s College. In “Joe” we are to lose our most sociable and good-natured classmate but we know that “Joe’s” pleasing personality will reap great rewards for him at St. Anselm’s. Good-bye, “Joe,” old pal and good luck. 1929 91 llnmiralttlta Join the navy and see the world FREDERICK MORTON RUSSELL “Fred” “Russ” “Freddie” Commercial Course Interclass Football; History Circle; Commercial Club Hello! What’s the matter over there? What? Oh, it’s all right. “Fred” Russell is only dragging another victim around the room. Any recess “Freddie” can be observed either engaging in some friendly tussle or creating mischief of some sort. But it must not be understood from this that “Fred” is never se- rious, for when he enters the class room he quiets down and devotes his attention to his lesson; as a consequence he is well liked by his teachers to whom he has given no great bother, and also by the students whom he has had the occasion to help. “Fred” took his l)iimps and bruises along with the rest of our class who thought that ’29 was the logical choice for interclass champs in football. He al- ways gave the best he had in these class clashes and deserves much credit for being an integral part of our championship team of this year. “In the spring a young man’s fancy, etc.,” is a much abused expression, bin we can’t solve “Freddie’s” intentions or actions coward our future better halves, since he has kept us in the dark in this res pect. But if the saying is true — well — “Fi eddie’s” as human as we are. “Fred” seems to have a leaning toward a business career and will probably continue his education in some business school. We of ’29 are with you “Freil” and extend our wishes for your success in whatever you take up. 92 iHinmtralTtUa raAO ' 5A«:? Q)A0 rsAO TdAO ri)AO fDAO Noise is not a necessary asset to success MARGARET MARY RYDER “Peggy” “Maggie” Commercial Course Business Club 4 Here is a girl who may need an introduction for few of us had the pleasure of really knowing “Peggie.” However, those who do know her, can tell yon that she is indeed a fine and trustworthy friend. “Maggie” has one very excellent and outstanding characteristic, that of knowing how to mind her own business. This characteristic has never got any- one into trouble and is a valuable asset to any person who might in the futyire attain a position which requires the tactful secrecy of trade secrets. Too many of us are inclined to blab anything anytime. She is quiet and reserved in school, and prepares her assignments conscientiously. People around school don’t know much about the real “Peggie.” Outside of school she surely is some stepper. Margaret spends a lot of her time roller skating down at the rink. Those who do not see her perform are unfortunate. Another thing few people know is that Margaret is quite a piano player — for instance you should hear her rattle off a few of those intricate Irish jigs and reels. “Peggie” intends to finish her education at some business school. Just which one it will be, she has not yet decided, but whatever one it is will be lucky, for she will be an asset, not a liability. Best of luck, “Peggie,” from 1929. 2xS iSyS 1359 93 l®i murabilta Come on over on the snnny side of life MARY TERESA SALMON “Molly” “Red” “M. T.” Normal Course Glee Club 1, 2; Hiking Club 3; History Circle; Junior Prom Committee; Minstrel Show 1, 2; Debating Society 3 Bright eyes and a sunny disposition go to make Mary, who certainly is the live-wire of onr school. Not to such an extent as to shock, but so that we all are conscious of her presence. Mary is one of our joke telling experts. She seldom has to have a joke ex- plained to her and she always has one ready to tell you which doesn’t need ex- planation either. Her presence in a class-room always meant there’d be fun there also. She spent Period B in the study hall during her senior year and she and a certain young man (?) caused Mr. McGrail to say a great many times, “Write out the Declaration of Independence and hand it in before one o’clock” — but that young man forgot once and “his presence wasn’t required” after that. But having a good time wasn’t all she thought of and we might add that a good deal of honest effort and studying went with it. She is just one of the care- free girls of Clinton High School and worrying isn’t “Red’s” line. “M. T.” is a hard working girl — for certainly you’ve often seen her behind the counters in Newberry’s. Just what “Molly’s” plans are for next year, are indefinite, hut whatever she takes up we sincerely wish her success. 94 minmtraittlta The deepest rivers flow with the least sound MARGUERITE ELIZABETH SCHNEIDER “Marg” “Little Eva” College Course A. A. 3, 4; Junior Prom Decoration Committee We soon found out that “Marg” was one of the college course “exiles” from the schools in Lancaster. Liking our town and company so wmll she persuaded her family to locate in Clinton; thus Lancaster’s loss became Clinton’s gain. This fact has afforded us much secret amusement when a certain teacher made his jokes about the “wilds of Lancaster” and “rain being good for the crops,” since this young lady is urban rather than suburban. “Marg at first glance, may seem quiet and demure but upon better acquain- tance, one learns the falsity of first impression. “Marg” is alive, to say the least, and, we also notice from the covers of her notebook, she is always after the latest jokes or “wise cracks.” There are a few things about her some of us do not un- derstand. What is the origin and significance of that nickname “Little Eva?” Whence that piercing whistle, so like a peanut roaster, which she and her cronies have developed? Perhaps some one can explain these matters. For her lifework “Marg” plans to take up landscape architecture — wdiich means she will give a better skyline somewhere and make “the desert rejoice and blossom as a rose” (if well paid). As a preliminary to this and to get her in practice, during the long summer recess she goeth forth, in masculine garb to give battle to the weeds that presume to raise their heads in her father’s garden. Thus she will learn her profession from the ground up. Good luck “Marg” from ’29. 1923 95 m ntiTralitUa Pleasure is never long enoiigli OLIVE FRANCES SCHNEIDER “Ollie” “Jupe” Commercial Course Basketball 1; Glee Club 2, 3; Business Club Does anyone know “Ollie?” Til say, we ALL do. She’s one of the members of the town’s most famous four — -the four “S’s.” “Jupe” is a regular dance fiend. There isn’t a dance in town, in Lyonhiirst, at Whalom or any place within fifty miles from Clinton where “Jupe” doesn’t shine. She’s there before the first note is struck and hates to drag her feet from the floor when the orchestra plays “Home, Sweet Home.” As for new steps, “Jnpe” masters those before anybody in Clinton hears about them. She surely can “strut her stuff.” “Ollie” is the originator of a great many excuses for her undone homework, especially when she got into the Pj class. She could give such “elegant” excuses that we were all convinced that she burned a LITTLE midnight oil. Everyone believed that she attempted, at least, to do her homework except the teacher. “Jupe” hasn’t made up her mind as to what she’ll do after leaving Clinton High. It may be an athletic teacher or a dancer, but whatever she undertakes her classmates of ’29 wish her the greatest success. 96 mmuiTralttlui Lei us enjoy pleasure wliile we eaii LAURA EMMA SCHREINER Commercial Course Hiking Club 1; Glee Club 1, 2; Business Club 4 Well, now here comes Laura — who is never seen alone, for looming some- where in the background is “Ollie.” No matter where you see Laura — at a dance, at school or at the movies — just glance around and you’ll see “Ollie” bob- bing about somewhere. Laura is another one of the members of our class who is extremely fond of terpsichore. She never was a “wallflower” and never will be. It is said that I..aura can dance to any music and any step and we all agree, for many a time shc was one of the first on the dance floor — and could she dance? If you have never danced with her don’t miss the first opportunity that you get, for you’ll feel liko gliding all over creation when you dance with her and one assurance you’ll have — no trampled toes during that dance. Laura at a first appearance looks to be a quiet sort of a girl. Rut oh! Quiet — we’ll say not. When Laura gets going you’re in for a good laugh. And for ex- cuses — she’s like her pal, as good originator and they get her by 99 times out of a 100. Laura’s ambition is to be a nurse. We all feel sure when she dons her white uniform she’ll he the reason “why people take sick” for along with her sunny dis- position goes her witty remarks. Well, Good Luck, Laura, from your Classmates of 1929. ' WWW 13 3 97 C 7 iM mnrabtlta Had a tongue at will and yet was never loud ALICE MARY SHEA “Al” Normal Course Minstrel Show 1; A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; German Club 4 Of course you have all heard of the Woolworth Store — perhaps better known as the “5 10” — well, that is where our “Alice” spends most of her time out of school. It is quite evident that Woolworth’s would not get along without Alice ' s help, especially on Thursday and Saturday nights. Rut working quite regularly didn’t interfere in any way with “Al’s” studies, because she seemed to always have her lessons well studied when she came to class. But don’t misunderstand us because we do not mean to say that Alice has suffered eye strain or the like, due to the time she spends reading over her les- sons each night, because she is one who enjoys a good time also. “Al” has always been a faithful member of the Athletic Association. She was always seen at most of the High School games and at every dance or show that was put on for the benefit of the A. A. — and — “Al” always seemed to have a good time at any dance she attended. “Al” plans to enter the nursing profession next year. We can all see that “Al” will make a perfect nurse. She has just the disposition suitable for a nurse. Whatever walk of life you enter, Alice, we all wish you the best of luck. 98 Sa® Sa«5 5a® 57 I came, I savv, I coiHni ji-ed JOHN FRANCIS SHERIDAN “Shanta” ‘ ' Yaiitha” “Shanth” Normal Course History Club 4; Interclass Basketball 1, 2; Interclass Football 2, 3 A few short years ago “Shaiita,” a very unassuming and reserved little fel- low, 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. “Yantha” had a way of making us forget our troubles, and wherever he is, there is sure to he merriment. He has a very pleasant sense of humor which tends to make him an agree- able companion and classmate. But, he also has some rather argumentative pow- ers that sometimes get beyond his control and he deals them out, rather unmerci- fully to teachers and pupils alike. “Yantha” was a regular on our class football team and took a few humps and bruises to show his class spirit. His work at right end proved helpful to his classmates as well as to himself. There is no danger of his becoming top-heavy from over study but his marks rank among the best of them. “Shanth” plans to enter Fitchburg Normal next fall, where his intellectual powers will surely carry him to success. As a teacher we predict great things fpr “Yantha.” 1929 99 iiinnitrahtlta lull’s a boy wlio’s sure and steady, Like a flashlight he ' s ever ready WILLIAM JOSEPH SIOK “Bill” “Willie” “Bolly” College Course Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball (Interclass) 2, 3; Football (Interclass) 2 We know and everybody knows there is one very earnest worker in the stu- dent list of the Clinton High School— and he is no other but “Billy” Siok. He has struggled to obtain and HAS obtained marks which are required for a good col- lege entrance. “Bill’s” not only a good student but also a good athlete. He has been able only to compete in baseball but we know that he is also a fine basketball tosser. “Billy” has succeeded in making the baseball squad in both Sophomore and Junior years. He is very popular among his friends of whom there are many. He does everything in a sportsmanlike way . Does his work without help and never shirks his lessons and exams. We wish you luck, “Billy.” You’re a true son of old Clinton High. We trust in you and look forward to your success in the field you choose.

Rut when we gaze on Leo’s cherubic countenance we can’t say that we blame them. “Chubby” is one of our premier athletes being a product of the famous Har- bor Naval Academy. He played on our famous Sophomore Interclass football team which “almost” won the championship and later on the Varsity football and baseball teams. He is also quite a hockey player and any winter afternoon yon can find him on the river, although we suspect that there were other reasons than hockey. Sorel never burned any midnight oil or strained his eyes studying but he al- ways got his marks some how and he was always ready to help anyone else. Ask Handle. Leo plans to enter Springfield College and he goes with our best wishes for success from ’29. 1959 101 iM mnrahtlta I made the sun shine in a shady place MARY PHYLIS SOREL “Mike” “Phil” “Pete” Genera!

Mary appears at all the socials of C. H. S. and others, and yea, verily, she is much sought after as a partner at a dance. Since we are on the subject of danc- ing, it seems to be the proper time to mention “Mike’s” great talent in this art. Who is there among us to rival her as she trips gaily over the stage “on the light, fantastic toe?” We have no doubt that her success as a dancer will continue in the years to come. Mary is also very fond of being present at the Clinton High athletic events and she certainly does her part i n cheering the teams on to victory, “Mike” is indeed a good sport and a real pal to all. She tells us that she wants to become a nurse. If she chooses this as her vocation, she will undoubt- edly excel in this kind of work. Whatever your life work is to be, Mary, your fellow classmates extend to you their best wishes. 102 ' ' i)AO ' A V.0AO vi)A iHinnnralttlia roAO A ' ' 5A A ’A - ' ' A NoLliiu - is impossible to a willing heart CHESTER SPIELVOGEL “Chet” “Speedy” Technical Course Now we come to one of oiir cpiieter members but one who is liked by all with whom he associates. “Speedy” seems to enjoy everybody and in his quiet way he makes himself an important part of his group of friends but is never too for- ward. In his studies “Speedy” is a plugger and tries to get every lesson he is given. “Chet” has always been especially attracted to Room 7, where he hits Solid and Trig so that he gets a good mark. Nothing in the line of mathematics stops him and he has tackled physics this year and gets quite a kick out of electricity. “Speedy” like most of our prospective engineers has spent his youth on a farm on the outskirts of this town. You may see him many an afternoon or Sat- urday coming into town with his horse. Chester is bound for Worcester Tech where he is going to learn to become an engineer. Our first aeroplane landing field may be planned by him, who knows? When he reaches Worcester Tech we are sure he will be well liked and the class of ’29 wishes him good luck in his future studies. 103 H mnralitlta Her friends are many, Her foes, — are there any? MARY RITA STARR “Twinkle” Normal Course Minstrel Show 2; Glee Club 2, 3; Varsity Basketball 2, 3; Hiking Club 1, 2; Science Club 4 Let ns introduce to you Mary, one of the witty girls of the class. She may be classed among the happy-go-lucky people of the world, who never fail to find a way out of their difficulties. Luckily for Mary, she was given a home room on the ground floor. This gave her an extra five minutes to sleep in the morning. In spite of Mary’s carefree manner, we should also say that she is not without aml)ition, for she spends much of her spare time working. Mary i)lowed her way through High School without ever burning too mucli of the midnight oil. We cannot leave Mary without mentioning her musical talent. Have you heard Mary play the banjo? Well, not many of us have, but some of Mary’s friends can tell you that she surely can play it — and how! You could never guess what Mary intends to be. We can hardly believe it, but we have heard that she has lieen studying a Massachusetts General Hospit (Catalogue. How is Mary going to (piiet down to nursing? It’s a problem for us.

A. 2, 3, 4 “Midge” is one of the most talented and well-liked girls in the class. Every- one knows of her ability in things scholastic, but the problem in our minds is “How does she find time to study?” “Margie” is an actress of no mean ability. If it were not for her skill in por- traying her part, our plays would not have been the successes that they were. “Marge” lends her animated presence to all the games, and oh, how she roots at the basketball games! We ask ourselves the reason for this. She is always accompanied to these events by the other members of the “Inseparable Four.” Then whom but “Midge” should we choose to help carry on the work of the Class Book? To her much credit is due for her splendid work in this respect. That we appreciate Marjorie’s qualities for leadership is shown by the fact that she was made Class Secretary in our Junior Year. Moreover, she was the Vice- President of the French Club. For the next four years, her Alma Mater will be Radcliffe College. The Class of ’29 wishes you the best of luck in future years, “Midge.” 1929 105 iTO annralitlta She is a friend that is true And there are like her few MARGARET BALL STICKNEY “Margie” Normal Course Junior Prom Committee; French Club 4; A. A. 2, 3, 4 Margaret Stickney? Oh, surely! You mean “Margie?” Where is she? Why, probably up in the Hall telling her gang her latest “Jack-o-jokes.” That’s the way one might be enlightened any day in the week as to her whereabouts. “Margie” — the little senior always springing a new one. But, folks, don’t think that’s all she does. One sees her trip up for a handful of testies every quarter, and she invariably pulls down an A on U. S. themes that according to her are “simply orful!” However, bright things do not shine always in the daylight — one hears that “Margie” is socially inclined — and as to affairs outside of school — ask any of her constant companions! She is a keen supporter of all C. H. S. sports — and that isn’t all. We hear she takes in not a few of the Dartmouth games too. As to her future, she is bound “away to school” next year. Your future lies before you, “Margie” — you have but to keep on going. Your friends, all of ’29, wish you all success and feel their wishing is not in vain. 106 Sa® St Hinmiralttlia Smile and the world smiles with you MARGUERITE MARY SULLIVAN “Sully” Normal Course Minstrel Show 1, 2, 3; Glee Club 1, 2 , 3; Hiking Club 2; German Club 4; A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Here is a girl who has brought much honor to her classmates during her four years in Clinton High. Everyone knew to whom to turn for a lending hand when in trouble. Marguerite is one of our ambitious girls. Every Thursday and Saturday she is found taking in the most nickels and dimes for F. W. Woolworth. “Sully” makes frequent visits early in the morning to the office. Of course, Marguerite is an early bird getting up but for some reason or other is delayed on her way to school. We wonder why? Marguerite has always been loyal to all C. H. S. times. Never has a High School dance passed that her presence has not graced the function. Marguerite is the most carefree graduate of ’29. If anybody has seen her with a cross face, that person needs his eyes examined. Her motto is “Smile and the world smiles with you” and she surely lives up to her motto. “Sully” is undecided as yet what her future will be, but whatever it is we are sure it will be a huge success. Rest of luck. Marguerite, from ’29. 107 iMmnrabtUa The better known, the greater is his worth appreciated JAMES ALFRED TATTERSALL “Jimmie” “Tatter” Technical Course As we think of our classmates who made our four years in Clinton High more enjoyable, our mind stops on “Jimmie.” Although not one of the noisiest mem- bers of our class he made as warm a place as anybody in the hearts of those who had the opportunity of being his associates. “Jimmie” ought to be congratulated by his classmates on his being able to keep up his ranks since he lost a half year of school in his Junior year. Thus also he has won the respect of his teachers. “Tatter” may be introduced by being quite a business man. He may be seen most every afternoon in his grocery store on Water Street which he manages in the afternoon. “Jimmie” is quite a basketball fan and has been a faithful supporter for his High School team. Although “Jimmie” is not to leave High School behind him next year we are sure when he does decide to continue his studies in some higher institution he will make friends and will succeed. The Class of 1929 wishes him luck and success. 108 mmuitrahtlta Thou (lost mock at fate and care HENRY JOSEPH TIERNEY “Heni(. College Course Minstrel Show 2, 3; Interclass Basketball 2; Interclass Football 2, 3, 4; Senior Show Committee And now we come to “Henie” one of the best all around sports in the class. Although he does not indulge in athletics he certainly can show his wares on the dance floor. Well “Henie” might indulge to some extent in athletics. They say that he can certainly pull off some of Walter Johnson’s stunts on the old sand lot. We might add also that “Henie” is some swimmer. Almost any warm sunny suniiner afternoon when most of the other members of the class are busily en- gaged, he may be seen drowsing in the sun on the rocky shores of a certain pond situated in the back yard of one of our best residential sections, “Duck Harbor.” “Henie” had most of the class guessing for a while when he disappeared on not a few Saturday nights together with two of his particular cronies, “Paulie” and “Fadgie.” But our curiosity was at last curbed when we found out that this trio had a certain out of town interest (not a money one). It may shed a little more light on the sub.iect by mentioning the name of the town. Was it Marlboro or maybe Hudson???? Aha! “Henie’s” plans for the future are, as yet, unknown to most of us, but we know that Rome wasn’t built in a day, and that sometime in the near future he will divulge his learning. Best of luck, old boy, in your future endeavors. 1 9 ? 9 MW 109 IfflinnnrabtUa I have the courage of my opinions PETER MILO TOLOS “Tiger” “Pete” Technical Course Varsity Football 2, 3, 4; Interclass Football 1; French Club 4; History Circle 4 “Pete” certainly is a well known member of our wonderful class. A real scholar, a true classmate and a willing worker, all of these attributes are “Pete’s” and the attainment of all these qualities has in no small way contributed to the fame that is Peter’s. It makes no difference to “Pete” whether it’s baseball, football, basketball or just any brawl or a dance or a club meeting, or what else have you, he is ther ' with support, the kind of support that means something to those who are par- ticipating. As a Sophomore “Pete” decided that football was his meat, and it surely was. He startled the school by his courage and gameness on the football field, and size, might, reputation were as nothing to him when he got going — as you can guess, he always did. They talk about “Dynamite Gus” and his tackles. If that gentle- man in his high school days was like “Pete” we predict that our Peter will soon be called “T. N. T. Pete.” But taken, all in all, the particular sport in this line which Peter held was v ell taken care of both defensively and offensively. “Pete” seems to thrive on Math and the harder the problems come, the easier their solution, as far as he is concerned. And when it comes to argumentative ability — Well, you should eavesdrop near Room 7, Period D. “Pete” plans to grace some technical school with his presence in the future. We know that he has the stuff and speed him on his way with — Good Luck. iM uturalitlta Always lia])py, always say, We’d surely love to have her stay DORIS VIRGINIA TRIMBLE “Twinnie” Normal Course Minstrel Show 1, 2, 3; A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Senior Show Committee; French Club 4 As is customary, I must first introduce Doris, the little half of that unit which we all know in C. H. S. as “the Twins.” But she needs no introduction to her classmates and friends of 1929 for her ready wit and her own self have won her a place in all our hearts. Short but sweet and pretty neat, explains Doris and a very quiet little lassie — oh, yes! — ask Miss Rowan to tell another. Doris sat down in Room 3 this year — “nuff said!” She is one of those peppy, sunny girls who love a good time but, in spite of this she always carried home a few testimonials at the end of each quarter. And oh, how Doris dances!! She never lacks a partner in “tripping the light fantastic” even though “he” doesn’t like to dance; and we must ndt forget that “Twinnie” attends every football and baseball game (not only those played on Fuller Field) and is very interested in the art of pitching — but as for our basket- ball team — well, Doris says, “It’s the best in years,” and nothing can prevent her from being present at each and every game. Doris has had quite a time trying to decide whether she’d take up nursing at Massachusetts General or teaching at Framingham Normal (we wonder if there was any special attraction at Framingham). However, she has decided to be a nurse. Farewell, “Twinnie,” and may those paths lead on to happiness and success. 111 m rniirabtUa Her steps were watched, her dress was noted, Her sayings were extremely quoted r DOROTHY VELMA TRIMBLE “Dot” “Twinnie” Normal Course Junior Prom Decorating Committee; French Club 4; Minstrel Show 1, 2, 3; A.

To know her is to be able to appreciate the sterling qualities which make her so dear to all of us. If it is true that a smile can be one’s umbrella, the rain ought never bother “Dot.” “Twinnie” hasn’t very many failings??? — (Boys, don’t rush!!). But neither does she spend all her time studying for she is one of the best sports of 1929, al- Avays ready to cheer the boys along, especially at football games — we might add that “Dot” is sporting a gold football. “Dot” graced the counters at Woolworth’s every Thursday and Saturday evening and we must say she made an attractive little salesgirl. We haven’t mentioned how Dorothy glides over the ivories but those of us who have heard her play a piano, know just how she can make jazz “jazzy.” But between studying, piano-playing and other activities, “Dot” always finds time devote to her favorite pastime, dancing; and now that she is leaving C. H. S. and plans to attend Framingham Normal, we want her to know that 1929 hopes she will find those floors of life well polished. Good luck and success, “Twinnie,” from your classmates of ’29. 112 iffli ' utnnihtltu Rena is very sood-iial ured and excd(ai)le, She is also conscienlions and likal)le ROWENA AUGUSTA WALKER “Rena” “R. A. W.” Commercial Course Business Club Rowena’s foremost characteristic is “pep,” and it is upon her energy and en- thusiasm that we base our predictions for her future rise. The charm that makes her the friend of all ’29 will succeed in making friends of all whom she will meet in the future. As few of us know, “Rena” has that wonderful ability of making friends in a very short time. As a result of this trait of hers she has acquired many friends in Sterling, Leominster, and Lancaster, so we understand. “Rena” has not been found guilty of burning the midnight oil, but she always walks off with her share of testimonials. Rowena is a constant attendant at all our social functions. And you may be sure that she was never without a partner. It has been said that “Rena” likes to dance and also to teach others to dance. We have seen quite a few examples of the latter! “Rena’s” plans are as yet indefinite but whatever she undertakes after she leaves the portals of C. H. S. we are sure she will be successful. ’29 wishes you the best of luck, Rowena! 1323 C 8 113 iii ' imtraltilta XoUiiiig great was ever achieved wiihout eiithiisiasiii ALFRED CLARKE WIESMAN “Wisey” “Wise” “Red” College Course Varsity Football 1, 2, 4; Varsity Baseball 2, 4; Varsity Basketball 4; Interclass Basketball 2; Junior Prom Committee: Musical Comedy 4; Interclass Dramatics 2; Senior Show; French Club 4 When September, 1928, came around and the Class of ’29 returned to start the ])eginning of the end, we found a new member in onr ranks, answering to the name A. Clarke Wiesman. “Wisey” had already nroven his athletic ability, having played on the foot- ball and baseball teams. This year however after playing four football games he was declared ineligible and the team certainly lost a headv quarterback. Rasketball saw “Wise” eligil)le again, and although this was somewhat imw to him, he developed into a fine guard and his ability to “cage” them from scrim- mage is well known by the fans. “Wisey” just takes naturally to ])aseball and his heavy hitting pulled the team out of many a tight place. Aside from athletics “Wise” is a very prominent member of “Le Circle Fran- cais.” He is also quite a dramatist, being in Interclass Dramatics and his work as “The Black Terror” in the Senior Show surely kent the crowd on edge. Those of the opnosite sex take np a great deal of “Wisey’s” time. You might see him down at “Doc’s” any Saturdav night, just hanging around — that’s what he says. When 8.4.5 comes around “Wisev” slins quietly out and proceeds up High Street as far as — but that would snoil it all. “Wisey” has planned to continue his education at Snringfield College where he v ill study physical education.

During the first few weeks of our Freshman year, we wandered through the corridors like lost kittens. Everything seemed so strange to us at first. But soon we lost some of our shyness and walked about with almost as much confidence as our upper classmates. The first social event vhich we could attend as students of Clinton High was the Minstrel Sho v. This was for the benefit of the A. A. and was a decided success. Then came weeks of hard study and for the first time we took the dreaded Mid-Years. Although we came out of these a bit shaken up, nevertheless we w ' ere not discouraged and we started to prepare for our next social event, the Interclass Dramatics. “Xot Quite Such a Goose” was the name of our play for the Inter- class Dramatics. This show proved that we had some very good talent in the class. We were more than pleased w ' hen ve were allowed to go to Whalom for our Class picnic, along with our upper classmates. So the months of fun and study slipped by and after ten short weeks of vacation, and with much more confidence, we entered upon our — 116 A marvelous transformation had ha])pened during- vacation. We were now Sophomores and we could look with pity on the green J h esh- ies who were wandering in a dazed manner through the corridors. Although some of our classmates had left us, nevertheless we were still a goodly number and the time came when we deemed it necessary to choose leaders to carry on the work of our class. So we elected the following officers: President, Frank Messenger; Vice-President, Mary Quinn ; Secretary, Helen Grady; Treasurer, James Kerrigan, d ' his year we selected our class colors (blue and silver) and our class rings. The Minstrel Show made its second appearance in the d )wn Hall and then we settled down to do a little studying. Mid-Years again loomed upon the horizon, l)Ut this time we were just a wee l)it more confident. Easter came along and with it the Interclass Dramatics. Our play this year was “The Cure-All,” and although we were not David Gar- ricks, nevertheless we proved our ability as actors and actresses. We made our second trip to Lake Whalom and, needless to say, we had one corking good time. Then vacation time came around again and after ten weeks of care- free bliss, we entered into our — 117 ] y this time we had become well acquainted with everyone and everything- in Clinton High and we felt pretty important. Onr first move was to elect class oiticers to guide onr “Ship of State” during this year. I’his year William Hester was elected as onr President; Anna Kelly, dce- President ; Marjorie Stewart, Secretary; and James Kerri- gan was re-elected Treasurer. This year for the first time, a Junior-Senior Debating Team was organized and two of onr classmates were on the varsity team. The Alinstrel Show as usual was great and the funds of the A. A. were greatly increased. Onr play this year for the Interclass Dramatics was “Squaring It with the Boss” and although we considered it worthy of the prize, nevertheless the judges were not of the same opinion. Food sales had l)een in progress for quite a time and now we began to have tea dances to increase the riches of onr class and prepare for that long looked-forward-to event, the Junior Prom. Hiis year we made a name for ourselves when we won the cnp for the h ' ield Day S])orts at Fuller’s Field. The Junior Prom, onr last Farewell to the Seniors, was the most successful event in many years and needless to say we felt well repaid for all (nir labors and worries.

This year, four cluhs were organized — French, History, Cerman and Commercial— and the liours we s])Cnt there, both social and otherwise will long be remembered. On Thanksgiving Night, a Musical Comedy, “The llridal Wail,” imnly its initial a[)j)earancc in tlie Town Hall and it truly was a howling suc- cess. d ' he most im])ortant event of tlic year was the Senior Show.

The ])revious . raduatiu - class took with it seven of the first strinj men and last, hut not least, the ])resent inelij ilde list showed the names of four others, the cai)tain-elect beino- anion ;- these. However, with the remnant of substitutes from the 1927 club and a scanty number of fellows who went out for the first time to make the team, “Joe” started to work on his problem. The first g-ame was with Framingham. That team came to Clinton Avith a squad that looked somewhat similar to our college teams. All in all they were (|uite fortunate to get away with a 13-0 win. This gave the fans an o]i]iortunity to see that experience is a big factor to a win- ning combination. In the game with Maynard the power of the Clinton team reached its zenith. With a brilliant aerial attack and a series of line-bucks our boys smashed their way through the Maynard line to a well earned vic- tory. The game with Milford, our ancient Thanksgiving day rivals, which ended in a 0-0 score, also gave flashes of what might have been, had our boys a little more experience. If the success of the schedule is figured in the number of wins and losses, one would sav that it was not a verv successful season, but we will alwnvs remembf t- that inexperienced underdog team which repre- sented our school in 1928. .

' I ' he property is claimed liy Mr. F abbitt’s brother, Au- gustus, and Mrs. Babbitt’s sister, Amanda. They have partially set- tled the dispute by dividing the living-room between them, each agree- ing to stay on his own side of the line until the case is settled. To make matters worse they both have contracted the patent medicine hab- it, believing themselves to be chronic invalids. To Kent Maynard, re- siding with his uncle, and Doris Prichard, living with her aunt, occurs the idea of inventing something which will cure them of this medicine habit, get them to agree on the estate and to consent consecjuently to their marriage. Kent and Doris, with the aid of Clara and Dr. ikiul Harper, who proves to be the lost heir, succeed in getting . manda and Augustus to try “Stickem’s Stimulant for Stale Shomachs” (the medi- cine they have invented), which is guaranteed to give one a new grip on life. Much to the young peojile’s surprise, the fake medicine not only cures them of their ailments but causes them to fall in love with each other. Thus, the estate has lieen settled and the invalids cured simply by the means of “A Cure-All.” This year our play just missed winning the prize which went to the Freshman cast for their excellent presentation of “The Wedding- Present.” 137 iM morabtlta 138 JUNIOR SHOW— ‘‘SQUARING IT WITH THE BOSS’ iHfutnrulttUu Squaring It with the Boss CAST Jimmy Greening 1 ' rank O’I ' oole Beth Greening Alary Oninn Aunt Hortense luiphemia Alaitland Aunt Clarissa Alarjorie Stewart Johnny Bender Francis Hastings Air. Dnnne James Kerrigan Once again the Interclass Flays were chosen and the play selected for our class was “Squaring It with the Boss,” which furnished the reiil hilarity of the night. Jimmy Greening’s boss is coming to dinner and the Greenings must have a liaby to show him, as jimmy has received a raise on the grounds that he had to support a wife and child on his salary. After much discussion Air. and Airs. Greening decide to bor- row the neighbor’s little boy. They dress him as a baby; two old maid aunts with the cat and parrot arrive and the fun begins. The real laugh creator of the show was diminutive Francis Hastings, who ])layed the part of the Greening bal)y. His antics really convulsed the audi- ence. The efforts of Beth and Jimmy assisted by johnny Bender to “square things with the boss” formed a most interesting and amusing play. 139 140 SENIOR SHOW— ‘STOLEN SPOONS” Stolen Spoons CAST JClie Upton l)ol) J lainilton John Upton . . . . Mai c ' iret Ui)ton Fiddino- Gertrude I)edrick Joseph Robinson . J ames Kerrigan Flora Hoffman John Fadgen Mr. McGrail decided this year to give our cast a more difficult ])lay to present than the previous ones. He chose “Stolen Spoons,” a ])lay somewhat . different from what high school Interclass audiences had been used to seeing. Edie’s father and mother leave town to attend a w edding, conse- quently leaving her alone in the house. One night she becomes frightened upon learning that a set of silver spoons have been stolen, and cries for hel]). Her cries were answered by a young man, who had been compelled to -sleep on his front doorstep for disobeying his father’s orders to return home early nights. Wdien Edie’s father and mother return, they find the young people asleep in each other’s arms, much to their consternation. However, when Edie ex])lains the situation and also that the young fellow is only a neighl)or’s son, she clears away her father’s anger and brings an in- tensely interesting play to a close. 141 iM mnrabtlta 142 SENIOR SHOW— “OH KAY!” Iffli mnralttUa Oh, Kay! CASl ' Edith Whitman Catherine Maitland Evelyn Whitman Marjorie Stewart Captain Whitman Erank O’l ' oole Arthur Whitman Dexter Linton “Gram” Pembroke Eu])hemia Maitland “Gramp” Pembroke James Philhin “The Black Terror” Clarke Wdesman Kay Minis Mary Quinn Alice Borden Mary Jennings Jim Hayes George Davis Fred Alden Ernest Dunn The play which our Dramatic Coach, Mr. McGrail, chose for our class was “Oh, Kay!” a comedy showing how “one of the most mys- terious robberies ever j)erpetrated on the American stage” was cleared up. Arthur Whitman is a young man, twenty-one years of age, who w ' ants his family to realize that he is full grown and able to take care of the household in the absence of his father, a sea-captain. Ifdith, his sister, writes detective stories. A notorious criminal, knowm as the “Black Terror” is w ' orking in the neighborhood, so “Art” plans to show the folks how brave he is by having a chum impersonate the “IBack Terror.” Edith wants to see how ])eo])le act when scared and she has Alice Borden, her girl friend, dress u]) in the “Pdack Terror” outfit also. “Gramp” vants to give the folks a thrill l y having his crony ])ull the “Black Terror” stunt, and the household is thrown into a turmoil when “Gram’s” jewels actually disappear. Mrs. Whitman sends for a detective and consternation envelo])s all when Kay Millis, a charming young miss, arrives. She soon straight- ens everything out, captures the heart of “Art,” and, of course, the real “Black Terror,” after a night of thrills and suspense, not to mention laughs galore. 143 m annrafatlm The Bridal Wail Tlie Bridal Wail, a musical comedy in three acts, was the presenta- tion of the Athletic Association on the occasion of its annual Thanks- giving performance. This was quite a change from former years as it took the ])lace of the annual Minstrel Show. The show this year, coached by Air. McGrail, took on all the aspects of a real big time show and was a decided success. The story of “The Bridal Wail” was hilariously funny. Rose Miil- doon is in love with Harry Dolan, but her father, Pat Muldoon, favors an English Duke for her husband. “Tim” Hennessy, a crony of Pat’s, connives with Harry and Rose so that the Duke is side-tracked and everything ends ha])pily. The ])icture of “The Bridal Wail” cast includes the principals only — but of course there were Bridesmaids, Ushers, Waiters, Dancers, etc., all of whom cond)ined to ])roduce a real novel entertainment. 144 iHinmtralitlta OfSanizations 145 r 10 iM mnrabtlia History Circle Hie History Circle, one of the first of its kind in Clinton High, was composed of students taking United States History. Its purpose was to further in detail the studies of its memliers by actually visiting and seeing- historical places of interest. An interesting trip was made when the members, obtaining revenue by selling tickets, made a trip to Lexington-Concord and Boston taking note of the historical places of interest. Another tri]) was made to Lancaster and a later one to Harvard where the Shaker hllage was visited. Meetings were held once a week, in the afternoon, at which differ- ent members relatcHl’liistorical novels, which they had read. d ' he History Circle owes its origin to Mr. John P. McGrail, and the members of the club are indebted to him for their historical outings and for the valuable instruction gained. 146 iHrmnralTtlm Le Cercle Francais President — Frank O’Toole Secretary — Martha Flanagan Vice-President — Marjorie Stewart Treasurer — John Manter Xot all of us were fortunate enough to l)e uieinbers of the h ' rench Club, but those of us who vere, not only received much valuable in- struction in the art of French conversation, l)ut also enjoyed some verr ])leasing- entertainments. This organization was adopted in our Senior Year and under Miss Kerrigan’s direction proved to be one of the most successful of the clubs in Clinton High. During the Christmas vacation, a party was held at Miss Kerri- gan’s home, and n eedless to sav, everyone ])resent thoroughlv enio ' ed himself. It rvas truly a ha]:i|)y event and was not the last of its kind. A social committee was chosen, composed of Emilv Bond, Tdbbv Long, Clarke Wiesman and Dexter Tu ' nton. This committee planned social everv month and afforderl the members much entertainment. On New Year’s Eve a dance was held in Pierce Hall. This was a “howding success” so to speak. 1323 147 lljemnrabtita German Club President — Fred Wissenbach Secretary — Natalie Praderio Vice-President — Martha Flanagan Treasurer — Herbert Hoffman Let us introduce you to the German Club. Although the member- shi]) of this club is small, it can nevertheless be classed as one of the most active clubs in High School. This club was formed this year with the ])urpose in mind of becoming more acquainted with the country and the ])eo])le of Germany, the language of which we study. In our case, this end was obtained in several ways, by the reading of German news- l)a])ers, and books, by talks by our faculty sponsor. Miss Comaskey, and bv first hand information by our President, who, because Germany was his l,irth|,l ace, can give us detailed descri])tions of many things about which we read. Fortune of this kind is not prevalent in all clubs. Our socials have been always a great success. Entertainment by members of our clul), who are really talented in that line, precedes what is, to the boys, the most important part, that of serving of refresh- ments. ■ 148 iM mnralttUa Commercial Club This dill) was organized for the first time this year, the ineml)er- ship being made np of all the Senior Bookkeeping pupils and the rank- ing students of the Junior Bookkeeping class. Meetings of this chib were held every week at which time, oiir sponsor, Mr. Comiskey, developed the subjects of salesmanship, per- sonality, etc. Lectures and demonstrations were given which enlight- ened ns in the study of bookkeeping. We enjoyed particularly the demonstration given by the Clinton Gas Light Company. The memliers of this cliih feel that as the years go by, the work of this organization will do much to aid pupils who intend to follow busi- ness careers after they leave Clinton High. 1329 w 149 lUf 11X01 11x1111 Orchestra Tlie Clinton High School Orchestra was, i)erhat)s ne t as well adver- tised in other years as it has been this year, lor, in former years, onr ])nl)lic appearance was only an animal one, when we played at the Com- mencement exercises. W ith the introduction of weekly assemblies, we were ofte.i called on to accompany the student body in the community singing. iVpj ear- ances such as these aided ns materially since we lost all nervousness and other stage-fright which nsnally accompany first appearances, and were able t(j produce results which were gratifying. Our orchestra is not as large as those of some schools and what- ever we are we owe to our director and supervisor. Miss Driscoll. Working under disadvantages, with little talent to choose from, she has labored continually to inpirove our music. W e feel that we are deepl} ' indebted to our director and know that future years will see the devel- o])inent of an ensemble, of which Clinton High School will be justlv ))roud. 150 Class Song of 1929 Tune: “Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life,” by Vhctor llerl)ert Words by Josejdi Rol)iiison Sing ' Farewell, Farewell to dear old Clinton High Sciiocjl, Alina Mater, we to you bid loud adieu.

Yet the things I saw were to me so dear Yon will not mind if I relate them here. For here they played and laughed and sang Throughout these halls their voices rang. In my dreams the stars of heaven so gay Changed to friends I have known always. I saw them at work in study or play, It brought me the story of years and a day. In a city far from here Howard Alzapiedi is an engineer. And it’s certain, so they say. He will be a huge success some day. Florence Anastas next I see. Who could succeed any better than she?

Whizzing along in a sportT ' oadster so fast, George Davis has just driven past. He has a fine time, he goes where he’ll choose For he’s now a reporter for Pathe News.

He certainly can run fine And almost in no time. Martha Flannagan has written a play The most popular of the day. If in the hook dealer’s window yon look. You will also see her latest hook. Two more classmates, I wonder who they are. Why, it’s Mary Gibbons and Mary Starr. Hostesses at many social affairs They have both married millionaires. As a stenographer trim and neat, It really is a treat to meet Helen Grady. She’s on Wall Sti-eet we hear And has been there now almost a year. Kichard Hanney I see from afar. He caused the E. E. Gray Co. to get a new car. Since Kichard became the boss fie gains many customers without any loss. Francis Hastings is driving a new car. He travels near and far.

Is our friend and classmate “Clarkie.” Hut soon the clouds began to appear In snow white columns front and rear. And crowding out my dreams of yore Left me alone on the sands of the shore. 1 thought of all that I saw in my dreams. Hut knew that all is not as it seems. And sadly wending my way to the top I wondered if dreams must always stop. Yet how happy all my classmates seemed As happiness upon them beamed. And while the road of life is rough We can reach success if we work enough. So passed my dream of old classmates and friends. May honor and glory he theirs in the end. May happiness, fame and success to them call And God’s blessing of love be shared by them all. 161 r 11 What Would Happen in C. H. S.?? If Ollio” was without Laura. Davis rode to school iu his car.
