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

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.

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

Although he never overlooks anybody and never lacks a friend, it is his na- ture to he quiet. This does not affect his school work, however, for he is one of the best students in the class and doesn ' t seem to mind studying, lie is fond of sports, music and other activities and can usually be found where they arc. He gave us a scare when he fell off his porch and landed in the hospital, but he came up smiling as usual. He has not said much about what his future plans are, but we are sure he will he successful. WILLIAM H. FULLER Tech meal Course I hstory Circle, Orchestra, ( ' lass Book Editor. II anybody wants to meet a real student, here ' s your chance. Did you ever see his name in the testimonial list without a half a dozen subjects strung after it? Besides being an honor student he is also an honored musician. What would an entertainment be without the Fuller Band. 5 A popular pose of Billy ' s is riding to and from school on his bicycle with his books over his shoulder. Another favorite pastime of Billy ' s is debating. He could talk on any side of any question. He is also scry much interested in skiing and is fast becoming a famous ski-jumper. We hope you ' ll jump to suc- cess, Billy! MARY BARBARA FLAHERTY Commercial Course Soph. Club, History Circle, Class Book Staff. Man is one of those girls, all too rare, who seldom miss an athletic event or an; other activity in which her school participates. Her loyal support is an example which every C. H. S. student should adopt. While not in school, her activities consist of tennis and swimming, which are her favorite sports. Although not of the grind variety. Flash was a capable student. After completing ber studies in high school, Mary intends to enter a school for business administration. ELEANOR ANN FLYNN Normal Course I listorv Circle, French Club. The graduation of Eleanor from Clinton High School will leave a space which will he filled with difficulty. Quick smiles, ready wit, and unfailing good humor have made her many friends. The thoughtful look often seen on her face is not from study, hut rather from thinking up new pranks to play on her classmates. In this she is efficiently aided and abetted by her constant companion, Janet Colangclo. Although far from six feet tall, she makes up for this lack of stature by a never failing vitality and pep. Eleanor intends to enter a training school for nurses after graduation. 20
