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

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.

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

GLORGK PETKR GEORGIAN College Course Class Book Kditor. C It.- urge is one ol the really brilliant members of our large class. He is not one to say “not prepared” when asked to recite. And it is he to whom most o! us fall back on when stuck in any subject what ever. George was on the testimonial list during his entire four years as a member of Clinton 1 ligh School ' s student body and grad- uated with those much coveted honors. George will be remem- bered as the one who carried a brief case containing his books back and forth to school. Nothing should prevent George from reaching port Success; he has all the required qualifications. MARTIN FRANCIS GIBBONS College Course History Circle, Dramatics. Marty, the Fred Astaire of our class (and he sure can step), is one of the best liked boys, especially by the weaker sex. I lis dancing is ever in demand at almost all entertainments and gatherings. His stage work, however, is not restricted to dancing. Marty also blos- somed out as an actor in our Senior Show. He played the role of an English lord to perfection and had the audience howling at his antics which would easily have passed as professional. We feel that ll he continues with his dancing after his graduation from C. H. S., he will certainly succeed. But even il he doesn’t choose this field we know he will lie successful in whatever career he decides upon. FRANCIS MARY GAROFOLI Commercial Course History Circle, ( ' lass Book Staff. Latest news.
