I R.W ' C IS WARREN CROWE1 V Technical Course Sopii. Club. History Circle. ( ' lass Book Stall. “How do you do the trig, geometry, or math ? ( )ur mathemati- cian, Warren, was always able to give the answer. When none of the other pupils could solve the problem Warren could always be counted on to have it (and correct, too). He also is greatly inter- ested in chemistry and physics, and manages (even in these sub- jects) to get his name on the testimonial list. Warren will be remembered lor his photography at our Sophomore Club reunion (which pictures he developed himself). It is his intention to attend M. I. T. where we all know he will he a great success and a credit to C. H. S. ALEXANDER DAVIDSON, (r. Technical Course I !istor Circle, ( ' lass Hook I .ditor. Everyone knows the great “magician. Here we have Alex, bright, witty, and an all-round good fellow, a great favorite among his classmates. We think ot him as one who is always ready to join us in a good time. Alexander has been a good student, capable of mastering any of hi - studies; especially mathematics. Although he is right there with correct answers for his teachers, he usually takes time out lor a tew antics and original answers. We all wish him the best ot success in the tall, when he intends to enter Worcester Polytechnic Institute. VIRGINIA EUGENIA DRAKOS Commercial Course I Iistorv Circle. V irginia has impressed us because ot her quiet gladness. I ler silence speaks eloquently of her sincerity; her gladness reflects her goodness. No matter under what circumstances w r c have encoun- tered her, in class or out, at work or at play, she has always dis- played to advantage her evenness of manner. Virginia is also to be remembered as a worker. Firm in the assurance that she will meet success in litc we reluctantly say good-bye to Virginia. MARIE FRANCES DROOGAN Commercial Course I Iistorv Circle. Here we base one ot the most popular spsls from the Acre. Whenever you see her smile and “hello” from world at the present moment. By the way — remember her activi- ties Period I - How could anyone forget : Marie is a capable stu- dent m Miss Gannon ' s class, but again, she is an expert in giving finger waves, etc., so what her future plans will be, we do not know. We are positive, however, that whatever they are, with the cheers of •57 in her cars she will achieve distinction and happiness in every way. 18

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

OWEN A. DUFFY College Course History Circle. Owney is a quiet, deep-thinking, intelligent bov who uses his talents where they are best fit. His look of intelligence may be due to the fact that he comes from Duck Harbor where all or a large portion of Clinton ' s proud sons come from. He ' s quite an actor as he demon- strated in English during the reading of plays. We wouldn’t be sur- prised if Hollywood nabbed him after June 25. Owney showed his athletic ability on the gridiron where he displayed his ability to play the end position. C. H. S. bids Owney adieu and Good Luck. THOMAS F. FAZIO General Course Football, Baseball, Basketball, History Circle, Class Book Staff. A deep gruff voice, a ready grin, and the disposition to sing on any and all occasions are the chief characteristics of Red. As one of Clinton’s athletic mainstays Red spent a considerable portion of his leisure time at Fuller Field. As a pitcher who could throw them with either hand, he formed the backbone of Clinton High’s baseball teams during his three year stay here. Basketball and foot- ball found Red right on the firing line doing his usual fine job. We expect to see Red make big time in the sports field, and his big smile and cheery nature will be a great asset. MARIE ETHEL FAIRBANKS College Course Class Book Editor, History Circle, Soph. Club, Dramatics. Marie, it can be safely said, will never be lacking in loyal friends. She has a winning way about her which no one can resist. Al- though interested and usually a participant in the majority of school activities, Marie has found time to place herself very near the top of the class in scholastic achievements. Witnesses of our Senior Show will testify that she is one of Clinton ' s promising young actresses. With graduation rapidly approaching, Marie is still undecided as to her future plans but whatever she does, we know her keen in- tellect and unfailing good nature will help her to the top rung of the ladder of success. ESTELLE LOUISE FAHEY Commercial Course History Circle. To know this girl is to be acquainted with one of the most inter- esting persons who have travelled through the corridors of Clinton High. Estelle, we have noticed, had been extremely quiet, but in spite of this, she is always ready to do her part. She may never have been a girl scout, but her motto is “do a good turn daily.’ However, we could continue showering bouquets of compliments on Estelle but we can summarize her briefly: “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Best of luck, Estelle, and well wishes from vour fellow classmates in your future ventures. 19
