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

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. Flash! Keep on the lookout lor dark haired damsel. Dangerous character — keep all hearts under lock and key to safe- guard theft. Last seen wearing heart ol gold and a becoming smile.

Am person who meets Frances, please wish her luck, and hope that her ambition, traveling, is realized. 1 he lucky person doing so will be rewarded by a generous smile. Seriously, we are sure Frances ' general and winning disposition will carry here lar on the road to success. MARION G. GAW Commercial Course History Circle, Class Book Staff. In her quite retiring manner, Marion has impressed us with her pleasant disposition and lady like ways. Possessed ol a well modu- lated voice and clear mind she speaks with the air of a young lady of firm convictions. This habit stamps her as a solid charac- ter on whom one may rely lor careful and commendable work The (inescapable charm of her modest, yet strong personality has taught us to regard her as one of the most likeable and capable girls in our class. She has the graciousness, ability and persistence of a girl who will be respected in whatever profession she engages alter graduation. 22

Dramatics, Class Hook Staff. 1 Larry is one of the most prominent figures in the school, not only because of his outstanding teats on the gridiron and the basketball court, but also because ol his great dramatic ability. He is pos sessed of a swell personality and his loss through graduation will be felt by both the team and the undergraduates. 1 lis success at managing the “Bulletin Board and presiding over the History Circle will long Lae remembered. Harry intends to go to the Uni- versity of Columbia next year and we know that he will gain the same success there as he has here. Cl LARI. KS CURTIS HARVEY College Course I listory Circle. French Club. Class Hook Staff. Orchestra. Curtis Harvey? Oh, yes he’s that quiet fellow. Oh, yes but not always quiet lor Curt has his fun too. He is an excellent dancer and practices at all our socials. For some reason. Curtis didn ' t go out lor sports but his report card and testie list makes up for that easily. He is a real good-looking fellow, as you can see, and the select crowd that he troes with can vouch tor his abilities to be a good triend and a good fellow. These sterling qualities will account tor the success we know will be his in whatever vocation he will select as the held in w hich he will develop his talents. VERONICA R. GIELET College Course French Club, Class Hook Staff. Veronica, the out door girl ot the class, is one of our best all around sports. She can usually be seen getting in her daily dozen in the woods m tin Clamshell district along with her dog “Hunter. By the way . Veronica t main ambition is to be a veterinarian. How ever, she does manage to leave her pets lor a while each week to attend our French Club meetings where she always managed to keep us amused. As yet, she has not decided at what school she will continue her studies but wherever it is we are sure she will succeed. RUTH JANICE HAMILTON Commercial Course I listory Circle. When Ruth first started to Clinton High she was a quiet unas- suming girl, and she still is. During her four years her amiable personality reached out and made friends ot all those with whom she came in contact. All that Ruth has attained can be attributed to ambition and hard work. Those who have been her closest friends shall always remember her lor her sincerity, lor her mild unassuming manner. It is with the ardent desire to see her continue on to real success that we take leave of her here as we all depart upon our individual ways. 24
