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

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

EBEN COBB, Jr. Technical Course Football, Basketball, History Circle, French Club, Class Book Editor, Bulletin Board Business Manager. Although Eben appears to be of a quiet and serious type, he is quite the contrary to those who know him intimately. Eben is one of the rare few possessing a mathematical mind yet enjoying proficiency in cultural subjects. Aside from his brilliance in the classroom, Eben is also an outstanding athlete having won distinction as a foot- ball player, basketball player, and boxer. His versatility is shown in the fact that he was chosen Sports Editor of our Class Book, and Business Manager of the Bulletin Board. The Class of ’37 is proud you are one of us, Eben, and confident of your future success. JOHN EDWARD COLLINS College Course Soph. Club. Class Book Staff, History Circle. Look who’s here — it ' s John Collins, that boy from Bolton — or Berlin — or, at any rate, the country boy with the urban manner, the boy with the charming personality. He stands a great deal of ribbing because of his p ' ace of residence but has a good sense of humor and he takes it with a smile, knowing, he avers, that most great men come from the smallest towns. John is very popular with the opposite sex, his picture will indicate one of the reasons w ' hy. He patronizes all our socials as dancing is his specialty, and need- less to say, he puts his heart into his work. We know John will succeed in anything he attempts for he has an abundance of ability to support his marvelous personality. SUE ELIZABETH DIRIENGO Normal Course History Circle. You, dear reader, have, no doubt, knowm that type of sober faced person who smiles but rarely, but who, upon smiling, reveals a delightful and unsuspected charm. Well, our Sue is that type of person in regard to speech and usually she chose to speak at the most appropriate times. The course of studies seemed to hold little difficulty to this girl of few words and she strode along with the rest of the class of ’37. In parting all we can say and we say it most sincerely, is “Good luck, Sue, and all the happiness in the world to you.” ELEANOR MARGUERITE DONNELLY Normal Course History Circle. To know Eleanor is enough to make us appreciate the merry side of life. She is a convincing proof of the fact that it is perfectly pos- sible to maintain one’s popularity and get good marks too. Only don’t ask us how she does it. Conscientious toward her work, Eleanor’s chief joy, when she throws off the yoke is to go dancing. Speaking of yokes — we wonder if it is true that Fitchburg is her favorite villager Her ambition is to be a nurse and we are sure her patients will be grateful for her decision. 17
