EDWARD J. FL ' Rl’l IV College Course History Circle. French Club. Class Book Editor. 1 1 ere is a person that is usually seen before he is heard. 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

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

JOSEPH MARTIN GADOMSKI College Course Class Book Manager, Football (Capt.), Class President, Soph. Club (Pres.) Basketball Mgr.. Baseball Mgr., Dramatics, French Club, History Circle. Few graduates of this, or any other high school, have achieved a record to equal that of the great ‘‘Gad.’ A reliable student at all times, he has culled his share of the testimonial honors. An out- standing athlete, he was captain and mainstay of the line in one of our finest football teams. But his class and school spirit mark him for the greatness he merits. As our only President in four years, he achieved a notable record for honesty and efficiency. He was baseball and basketball manager and Business Manager of the Class Book. With his sterling qualities of intellect and character, Joe is bound to achieve his goal in life. KENNETH H. GARRITY Commercial Course History Circle. Kenneth was always sure to make the grade but did not trouble himself too much over studying. We are told that he is quite musical and are surprised to hear that he holds down an instrument in a Hill Billy Band from the Acre. We also hear that he is a bit bashful where the other sex is concerned, but cheer up, girls, he’ll get over that as he grows older. Kenneth’s quiet, helpful disposi- tion will bring him the happiness and success we all know he deserves. EDITH ANTOINETTE FOLIA Commercial Course Soph. Club, History Circle, Class Book Editor, Bulletin Board Here we have a very snappy young lady with a smile for everyone It is plain to be seen that anyone in trouble goes to Edith for a solu- tion. She is one of few persons who can stay topnotch in her studies and yet keep up to the minute in all the activities and sports. Just ask her sometime how to shoot a basket or make a home run! Maybe you’ll get a demonstration! Through her hard and faith ful work she has helped to keep the class a successful one and we are certain that she will fulfill her desire to be a private secretary. ESTHER G. FREEMAN Commercial Course History Circle (Sec ' y), Class Book Staff, Soph. Club, Bulletin Board. Esther does not need an introduction, for everyone knows her. She is a very nice young lady with an even disposition and anyone is welcome to the chance to try to get her to speak for or against any- thing. She believes in neutrality. She also believes in studying, and we are told that she will make somebody an especially fine secretary some day, as she fairly shines in commercial subjects. She has plenty of school spirit and shows it by attending all activi- ties and sports. We know that Esther will make a big success of herself and will some day look back to the good old times of ’37. 21
