C ' l i ARLES BAXTER BROWNELL Colic ge Course lootball. tennis, 1 listors Circle. Soph. ( ' lull. Now. let us pause to glance at Charlie’s record. He is well known and liked by everybody tor Ins friendliness and ready wit. Charlie can be seen at most ol our social functions and always seems to be on the best of terms with the opposite sex. 1 le never seemed to worry a great deal about his studies and yet he always seemed to get along. 1 le also deserves due credit tor the success ot our foot- ball team. Charlie seems to have his heart set on the Massachu setts Nautical School and we are sure that wherever he goes, he will be as popular and as successful as lie was here. CLORCL A. BURGOYNL College Course Soph. C ' l ub. (Trcas). t rench Club, I listorx Circle. Let us now stop and focus our attention on George — one ot the most popular members ot our class. Whenever there is anything going on in the school, you ' ll be sure to find George among the fun- makers. George s social activities are many and varied. He has seldom been known to miss a dance. Although he has no particu- lar love tor books he usually does what is expected ot him schol- astically, and seems to have no great difficulty in getting by. George is undecided about his career but the qualities he displayed in C. H. S. should carry him to great heights. ELEANOR MARGARET COGSWELL Normal Course Soph. Club. 1 Iistorv Circle. Next let us introduce Eleanor; but she needs no introduction, as she i known and liked by everyone. Eleanor has changed so in four years that it would be quite difficult to remember her as the quiet and shy Irishman. In her senior year she changed to a young lady w ho is newer seen w ithout that mischievous look in her eye. Every- one remembers the C. 11. S. Santa Claus ot 1936. Eleanor’s favor itc sport seems to be bicycling. She ' s a great sports’ fan anyway, going to every football game that C. H. S. plays. Her one ambi tion is to become a Dental Hygienist. | A NET B. COLANGELO General Course 1 Iistorv Circle - . Janet is on-, ol the quiet young Misses ot our class. You may see her at recess studying away, completely oblivious ot her surround- ings. I hose w ho have taken Bookkeeping with her can tell you how she excels in that subject. I his year she has been taking it a hit easier, hut nevertheless Mr. Comisky still says she is the pupil who grasps all her studies the quickest. Janet is noted tor her pleasing personality. She is a real chum, as Eleanor blynn can tell you Janet intends to take up the nursing profession and we knew she will succeed. 14

JAMES BOODRY Technical Course History Circle. Now we turn our attention to one of our quiet and good-natured classmates. Jimmie always has a smile for everyone, teachers and pupils alike. He has impressed us as a very ambitious person, as is evident from the fact that he spends much of his time assisting his father in his business. Jimmie has gained many friends because of his wonderful personality and sportsmanship. As for studies, they never worried Jimmie but he always managed to make excel- lent grades. We know Jimmy will go places in the future and will be the first to say, “We told you so.” JOHN HENRY BRODERICK, Jr. Normal Course History Circle, Soph. Club. Th is contented and serious countenance is that of John Broderick. John is one of our classmates whose beaming personality has won for him many friends. He never fails to patronize the school’s so- cial functions. Although John never participated in sports, he was one of the team’s best supporters. John also likes truck driving, judging from what we see of him afternoons but maybe it’s Peter’s company. Even though this seems to be a pastime of John’s, we know that his ambition runs much higher, for he has part of his fu- ture planned for Diesel Engineering School. We look for great news from John in the scientific world. BESSYE PHOEBE BEDRICK College Course Soph. Club, History Circle, Radio Revue. Bessye is a girl of many accomplishments. One of the best dan cers in our class, she is well known for her splendid performances in our Radio Revues. Bessye has a flair for drawing and her work surely is a credit to her. She is a very energetic and ambitious person. Although Bessye never took studying too seriously, she has always been successful in anything she undertook (particularly a friendly argument). We feel that with her sterling character her future is well assured. MARIE ELIZABETH CLOUGHERTY Normal Course History Circle, Soph. Club, Class Book Staff. When she started school as a freshman, Marie was a quiet, demure young lady. As a senior she is still that same, quiet, young lady. You might be sure that Marie goes home with her share of “testies” each quarter. They are well earned merits, however, because Marie makes it a rule not to leave her homework go undone. She is a great sports fan, and as a loyal supporter of C. H. S., she can be seen at every football or baseball game. Marie intends to go to college but hasn’t decided on which one. We know success will crown her efforts in any field she chooses. 13

MARTIN JAMES BURGWINKLE College Course Soph. Club, History Circle, French Club. When Martin comes along, the old saying “looks are deceiving can certainly he applied. For to look at Martin one would think that he was one of our more sophisticated seniors, hut, in reality, he is just another one of our mischievous seniors. Martin is part of the rea- son for the success of our French Club and History Circle. He also provided the humor in his French 4 class. Martin ' s plans for the future are still quite vague although he thinks a great deal about Holy Cross. Whatever his plans may he, we are sure Martin will reflect credit on 1937. COLIN HENRY CAMPBELL General Course Basketball. Colin was a staunch supporter of all class activities and was usually among the first to enter into class discussions. He is a tall boy. hut it is a question which is taller, his grin or his body. He is one of Clinton High’s basketball stars and while his lanky body and long arms were useful in that game, his sunny disposition will be a distinct advantage to him in the game of life. We, who have known him for the past three years, are sure that his genial and friendly smile will win him many friends in the future, and that success will crown h is efforts. RUTHE MARY CONNERY General Course History Circle. Ruthe is not by any of the wildest stretches of imagination a quiet girl. Oh, no! as many of our woe-begone teachers have found out. She is a normally studious girl and passes in all her subjects even if she doesn’t get testimonial rating. As for popularity, we know that she ' s quite the choice of both sexes and has outside interests too. She was a loyal supporter of high school activities as anyone who saw her with the green banners at the football games knows. We don’t know Ruthe’s plans but we do know she has all the attributes necessary to success. MARGARET RITA CULLITON College Course Soph. Club (Vicc-Pres.). Class Vice-Pres., History Circle. Honorary Clinton Women’s Club. Editor-in-Chief Class Book, Dramatics. Margaret is not to be considered just a student of Clinton High, rather she is the spirit of Clinton High. To enumerate even a few of her activities would be a slight to their known importance. In the classroom she is of a quiet and unassuming manner, but her part in any discussion is characterized by reflection and mature judgment. Proud we are indeed to boast that during our days in Clinton High Margaret was one of us. We bid her farewell with an assurance of success, for the value she has been to us is indica- tive of her worth in the future. 15
