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.

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

ROBERT WILLIAM GRADY College Course Baseball, French Club, History Circle. Bob’s picture ranks him among the Adonis group of the class, but curiously and much to the girls’ regret, he never seemed to devote much time or attention to the allegedly fair sex. His books and his A. O. H. society work keep him busy and we are confident that this devotion to his work coupled with his high ambition and intel- ligence will bring him a heaping measure of success. We know that Bob ' s smiling good nature, his willingness to help, and his unfail- ing industry will bring him the key to future happiness. WILLIAM FRANCIS GRADY College Course History Circle, Football, Class Book Staff. Bill is that Senior boy who has been sporting that green football sweater. As a rule we don’t see him at any of the dances, but then, have you ever seen a good football player at ease on the dance floor : He seems to be of a quiet nature, but anyone who still is of that opinion after spending four years with him certainly doesn’t know Bill. Doc is a fine student — the kind whose lessons are always pre- pared — but with a nonchalance we all enjoy. He intends to make Holy Cross his next stop, and then medical school. MARY ELIZABETH GIBBONS College Course Soph. Club, (Sec ' y), History Circle, Class Book Editor. Mary is of a serious nature. Her quiet yet agreeable manner gives testimony of a mature mental make up. Her indefatigable and earnest efforts have made her a consistent ranking student. The fact that we have entrusted to her the writing of our class history shows that her merits have not been unrecognized. We feel safe in picturing a bright future for Mary, her constant success during her four years with us warrants such a prediction. She is one of those destined by her assiduous application to realize that work fructifies reward. We dare not say what that reward will be, but it will certainly be a reward deserving of the lady. MARIE TERESA GRADY Commercial Course Class Secretary, Soph. Club, History Circle, Class Book Staff, Bulletin Board. Marie by her winning smile and stunning personality gained for herself many friends among the undergraduates as well as in her own class. Her wide spread popularity may be best illustrated in that she was elected Secretary of the Junior class with hardly any opposition and was again elected Secretary of the Senior class with- out a contest. Marie possesses the formula of success in her charm and genuine friendliness, and we know these will carry her to what- ever goal in life she sets for herself. 23
