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

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

T1 IOMAS H. CASEY. Jr. College Course Class Book Hditor-in-Chief, Soph. Club. Historv Circle, French Club (Pres.), Dramatics, Bulletin Board. Scholastically, an apt student; socially, a lion; artistically, a musi- cian. Thus do we catalogue those characteristics of Tommy which arc evident after an hour’s acquaintance with him. Those deeper traits — a keen intellect, last friendship, rollicking humor, are cherished bv those of us who know him well. As a leader Tommy showed us what he had in him when he was elected President of the French Club. Then he decided to go out for dramatics, and he showed his ability as an actor in the Senior Show. This book is a tribute to his editorial ability, and it is in this field we expect Tom to shine in future years. GEORGE CHARLES CHI A VAR AS General Course History Circle. This is the fellow who mutters under his breath while Mr. McGrail is talking. He ' s the George Bancroft type — a go getter — who will some day be seen as the manager of some business concern. George excels m English, a subject in which he is always in an argumenta- tive mood. When it comes to a down-right case ot using one’s head, George is the one who will and can use it. He believes that there are two sides to every question — his own and the wrong one! MARGARET CZULAK Commercial Cow sc I listory Circle, Class Book Staff. Margaret is another one of the brightest members of the Senior class. She is very studious and excels in all her studies. Mar- garet ' s friendly smile and pleasant personality makes her dear to all ot her classmates. A loyal supporter of the teams, you can al- ways depend on Margaret being at the games. She manages to keep in touch with the social life of the school in spite of her studies. As she took a business course (receiving testimonials in shorthand and typewriting) we expect that, in the near luture, Margaret will be an efficient secretary lor some large company. SUSAN DESPOTOPULOS Commercial Course History Circle. Susan is a quiet studious girl who realizes the value of doing all things well. She is a Commercial student, and she can generally be seen carrying a Bookkeeping or Stenography book when she leaves school. Susan can certainly pound the keys on the typewriter down in Room 3, and we will probably hear ol her clicking the keys m some office when she leaves C. H. S. We are confident that she will go places in her chosen field, capably armed as she is with its essential qualifications, intelligence, industry, and a splendid personality. 16
