Presents THE MEMORABILIA PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF CLINTON HIGH SCHOOL CLINTON, MASSACHUSETTS 1938 - - VOLUME - - XXV John J. Mitchell We, the Class of 1938, most respectfully dedi- cate this, the twenty-fifth volume of “Memo- rabilia, to Mr. }ohn J. Mitchell of the faculty in appreciation of the kind and unselfish services he, as Class Advisor, so willingly rendered to us throughout our high school career. DEDICATION Mr. Mitchell is one of the most popular members of the faculty and this popularity i s well deserved. He is a conscientious worker and possesses a great amount of patience, which, added to his comprehensive understanding and knowledge of his subject, accounts for his success as a teacher. Mr. Mitchell’s work as a faculty advisor to the Class of ' 38 is certainly appreciated and will long be remembered. Superintendent Thomas F. Gibbons, A.B. L.L.B. A scholar anti a talented business execu- tive, he is naturally at the head of the Public Schools of the town. As behts the educational leader of the com- munity. Superintendent Thomas F. Gibbons is a scholar. He was graduated with honors from 1 loly Cross College, and also with honors from Boston University School of Law. And, what is most important, he carries on through life a love of sound scholarship that is an inspiration to his co workers and that sets a high example of achievement to the boys and girls under his general guidance. Yet be combines with his scholastic attain- ments a keen business ability that has won him the respect of the business and civic leaders of the town. At no time eluring his more than a score of years of laithful service, has his depart ment ever exceeded its budget or spent money without receiving adequate service or goods in exchange. Mr. Gibbons has saved the town many thousands of dollars during his years ol service. This saving is well known to all who interest themselves in the finances of the town. This group knows him to be a shrewd and able administrator. Mr. Gibbons is eminently fitted also by long years of practical experience in the class room to supervise the education of the boys and girls ol Clinton. He taught in Clinton, New York City, Fordham College, and Grantwood, New Jersey. I Ins wide training in several school systems gave him a broad and practical norm to guide him in administering the academic work in the local schools. The excellent re- sults attained by him are recognized by bis fellow superintendents, and those others able to appreciate the excellent reputation that the local school system has throughout this state. He has another gilt called common sense — which incidentally is not so common. He in- tuitively detects the sham and the false; he gives proper weight to the important and the unim- portant; be keeps always in view the primary purpose ol a school system — education. Expensive lads and toibles, that are adopted, tried, and discarded by some school departments, have no place here. He makes no experiments. Yet he has the uncanny faculty of selecting the best in modern education, and of introducing it into our local schools — quietly, effectively, effi- ciently, and modestly. All recognize his high ideals and his stern integrity ol character, but there is one hidden trait of kindliness that is known best by his intimates, his fellow teachers, and the many little children who have no one in high places to light their battles. I le is the champion of the rights ol this last group. As these have grown to manhood under Ins supervision, they have recognized this I act ol his personality and they fine him lor it. X When we entered school as Freshmen we inherited from upper classmen wild stories about our teachers to be. Now, as we leave our dear school and our teachers, we say, in all fair- ness, that in our four years of study under them we have never found any truth in such tales. To the contrary, today as we stand on the threshold of a new life, we are sorry to leave them, for we know that nowhere in our future endeavors will we find such sympathetic, under- standing, kind and generous men and women. For four long years we have listened to them and absorbed their teachings. We have talked to them and received their advice. When we were in trouble, we went to them and found them always ready to help us. When we were in doubt they were always willing to devote their time and efforts to bring us co a clearer understanding. We know that at times we were stubborn, and often brought their wrath down upon our heads. The teaching profession is filled with times of stress and strain, times when the most patient teacher ' s nerves are tried beyond en- durance. And we do not attempt to conceal the fact that we made it harder at times for our teachers. Flowever, as we look back upon sev- eral such harrowing experiences, we realize the error of our ways. We deeply regret our in- ability to understand their position. We were foolish boys and girls in our “teens,” uncon- trollable and often times unmanageab ' e. But their kindness and patience soon won us over. Our Principal with his stern manner only sought for the best and now we realize, as we begin to face life, that he was correct in his strictness. Tribute to the Faculty So, as we are about to leave the portals of our Alma Mater, it is only right that we pay, in our simple way, the highest tribute to our Faculty. From the bottom of our hearts and with the deepest sincerity, we say to you, the Faculty: We greatly appreciate your interest in us; we thank you and wish that we could in some way repay you for your kindness toward us.” “Classes wi.l come and go. You will probably soon for- get us, but rest assured that we shall always re- member you for your part in making our four years at Clinton Fligh School the happiest years we have ever spent.” “There is not one student in the class who does not join wholeheartedly in this tribute. There were times when harsh words passed be- tween us, but that is all gone and forgotten. Today we remember only the fact that you were compelled to speak to us in such a manner for our own interests. We know now that you, our teachers, were always our friends, although we did not always appreciate this. So good-bye, dear friends; and from the bottom of our hearts “Thanks.” Eben S.

McGrail Resigned 1937 13 SENIORS OFFICERS President, Kimball Raynsford I ’ h c-Prcsulcnt , Delores Salmon Secretary, Mary O ' Toole Treasurer, Fred Ramig Class History It has been the custom of every graduating class since the beginning of time to set down a history of the class to be preserved ior posterity. So witness here, fellow students, a chronicle ot our movements from our entrance September 5, 1934, till now, our gradua- tion. June 24, 1938. In the fall of “34 a crowd ot shiny-faced youngsters trudged their way to the High School. Unwillingly perhaps, but nevertheless, with a note of excitement and merriment we laced a new chapter in our lives. Our year passed mostly as Freshmen years usually pass, but lor one exception. We passed the Mid-Years with flying colors and presented a plav in the Inter-class Dramatics, “What An Act, coached by Miss Harris of the faculty. It was during the closing month of school that the exception occured. We realized a wish long expressed by Freshmen the land over. Need we tell you that, on a balmy evening in June our school took lire and burned. There was some talk of our going to school elsew here, but we never did. We returned the next year to find the inside newly painted, but little changed other- wise. ( )ur first act as Sophomores was to elect: Jerome Costello, President; Delores Salmon, Vice-President; Edna Noon, Secretary; and Thomas Kilcoyne, Treasurer. Mr. John J. Mitchell of the faculty was appointed our Class dvisor. This year marked our first venture into school affairs. We conducted dances and held candy sales. We had our little flirtations. In short , we had grown up. Tests were an old story by now, but the Mid-Years still held their fears for us. However, we managed to survive the storm pretty well. T he Inter class Dramatics were abandoned this year (probably afraid we would heat the Seniors). In their place was held a competition with four neighboring High Schools, which Clinton managed to win. Spring again rolled around and with it graduation. Some of us made our entrance into social life by going to the Prom. And when the tolling of the 1.00 a m. bells died away among the echoes, we left school to return the next year as Juniors. 16 Now comes the year that will live in our memories as our year of triumphs. We cer- tainly went to town that year. Our officers were: Walter O’Malley, President; Delores Salmon, Vice-President; Mary O’Toole, Secretary; and Earle Russell, Treasurer. We went at our studies this year with a vigor that was never before known. We looked with disdain upon the Freshmen and Sophomores, forgetting that we were such ourselves once, and that they were merely the reflections of our actions. We roomed upstairs with the mighty Seniors, stood in the hallway and looked with awe upon these lordly beings. Our first triumph came on September 12. That was the day of the St. Mihiel’s Day Parade. A loving cup was to he awarded to the best appearing class in line. And, as was to be expected, we won it. The Mid-Years were nothing to us by this time. We took them in stride and then came our second great victory. We won the Inter-class Dramatics. The Seniors gave us the laugh before the show, said we didn’t have a chance. But we showed them. The play was “Sail Right In,’’ directed by Miss Kerrigan. June was fast ap- proaching and we prepared for the Prom. And here is where we again proved a hit. This year we introduced the ceremony of the departing class officers handing over their caps and gowns to the Junior class officers. That finished one of the grandest and most successful years any class has ever had. We can well look back with pride upon our Junior Year Prom. SENIORS. At last, after twelve long years, we had reached the end of the trail. The future faced us, unknown and forbearing. We felt we were no longer “kids,’’ but ready to step out into adult life. We finished our school career gloriously. Our officers were: Kimball Raynsford, President; Delores Salmon, Vice-President; Mary O’Toole, Secretary; and Fred Ramig, Treasurer. Things were pretty quiet before the Mid-Years, but, soon after, they started to hum. We formed all the different clubs you could think of, History Circle, French Club, Tau Sigma, etc. We went to all the dances and socials. We started to get college pamphlets through the mail saying, What are you going to do next year?” We wished we knew. And just to prove that we did win the competition the year before, we presented the best Senior show in quite a number of years, probably the best ever. The play was “It Happened in Hollywood,” directed by Lewis S. Gordon, Jr., of the faculty. It certainly was a howl. From there we went on to win the Inter- class Dramatics for the second year in a row. The play was “Sauce for the Goslings” which was also directed by Mr. Gordon. This went to prove that we had very fine dra- matic talent in the class. Our football team won the Midland League pennant. Then came the class pictures, the class book, invitations, and millions of things. We went to the class banquet, the French Club banquet, the Tau Sigma party, the History Circle excursion, the Junior Prom. And then came graduation, the saddest part of all. It was strange. For eleven years we looked forward to finishing school, but when we strolled up the aisle after our diplomas a lump came to our throats. We wished we had it to do all over again. For the first time in twelve years we would have no place to return the next year. Our group would break up forever. Some of us would find our way to col- lege, some to business, the professions, and some would just stay in town. However, we can always look back on the happiest years of our life as those we spent at Clinton High. And whenever we want to bring back our memories, we only need open this book and they are all here. We leave Clinton High School, proud to call it our Alma Mater. 17 Herbert Alner Aldona Alexandrovich Hugo Angelini John Augis Herbert Lester Alger College Course History Circle ; Bulletin Board: A. A. If silence is golden this fellow is rich. He goes about his studies in a very quiet fashion but the testimonial list usually shows his name. Studious though he may appear, appearances are deceiving for after classes the Devil himself has a hard time keeping up with him. He has the valued quality of concentration which has enabled him to survive the onslaught of the various teachers. This quality, we are sure, will insure his future success in whatever line of endeavor he may choose. His plans are un- certain but we bid him “Bon Voyage” and “Good Luck.” Aldona Alexandrovich Commercial Course History Circle “Al” is a carefree, happy-go-lucky individual; anything peppy or nappy appeals to her nature. She never was punctual in getting up to the hall during her Senior year. In fact, she was real indignant at the necessity of climbing those flights of stairs. However, “Al” is always pleasant and friendly towards all, and works very diligently in her studies. She firmly believes that what is worth doing is worth doing well, and per- haps that accounts for her success in her studies. “Al” is undecided as to just what her vocation will be, but we are certain that success will follow her throughout life. Hugo Angelini College Course Ili-lory Circle: Tan Sigma: Class Bool{ Staff Hugo is another cheerful, intelligent, and conscientious student who always received good marks in his studies. Last summer he spent a month at Fort Devens in the C. M. T. C. where he showed up the officers by reciting the Guard rules without an error. The difference between Hugo and most of the Seniors is that he still studies hai ' d and has nothing to do with the opposite sex. Keep it up, Hugo, you are on the right road, and when you reach the top, don’t forget the Class of “38”. John 1. Aegis Technical Course Baseball j, 4 : History Circle: Tan Sigma: Trench Ch ' b: Class Boo ( Staff Step right up folks, and meet “Johnnie” Augis from the “Hill.” He was a member of last year’s baseball squad and will surely be one of the mainstays of our team this year. In spite of his many social activities. “Johnnie” has managed to keep I ' .is marks well above the testimonial grade. His friendly disposition and quiet, unassuming attitude have won for him many friends in the Class of ’38. “Johnnie” intends to enter the National Coast Guard School at New London, Connecticut, where, we know, he will be cordially received. 18 William Baer College Course Tan Sigma ; History Circle Shy and almost of a retiring manner in the classroom, but once out- side school, this entirely disappears. He attends most of the social events in town, always seeming to have a good time. He is also a constant atten- dant at all High School games, whether at home, or otherwise. Although he was never considered a grind, he did receive fairly good marks. During his spare time, Bill works for his father, liking nothing better than to make deliveries in his father’s truck. We do not know what he will do after graduation but we wish him the best of luck. Mildred Banks Commercial Course Prom. Committee; Athletic Association You are now gazing upon the handsome countenance of Millie, one of the most generous girls in the school. She is not at all selfish with knowl- edge that she gains; is the soul of generosity, and ever ready to impart her knowledge to her neighbor. She is a real sport and attends all school affairs. Millie has us all guessing as to her future undertakings. She does not seem to have a desire for any one thing. However, only time will tell, and her classmates wish her all the luck in the world in her efforts. Mildred Elizabeth Bobeck Commercial Course History Circle ; Bulletin Board; Athletic Association Petite and clever are the adjectives you would use in describing Millie. And after looking at her picture you would probably add, pretty, charming, etc., and also, a good friend. One of her enjoyments is attending school functions. She is very much in evidence at them all, and is always surrounded by male admirers. A very active member of the A. A., she is always asking for money, but gives a ticket to a football game in return. Just what her future occupation will be, is undecided. Au Revoir, Millie, and good luck down life’s home stretch. James Francis Boylan College Course Tati Sigma; History Circle; Photography Club Class Baseball Now let us introduce “Shorty” another one of the boys from the “Hill.” Although we could not exactly say he was a quiet boy, he always managed to keep out of Mr. Cobb’s way. “Shorty” did not go out for High School Athletics but you may bet that he indulged in every sport that was in vogue up on Front St. His winning personality and ready wit won him a host of friends during his High School Days. His future plans have yet to be completed, but the whole Class of 1938 unites, “Shorty,” in wishing you lots of success in whatever your choice of career may be. William Baer Mildred Banks Mildred Bobeck James Boylan Charles Edward Brigham Commercial Course Bulletin Board: Innior Prom. Committee: History Circle Charlie is one of the most pleasant and most liberal boys in the Senior Class. All of bis friends, and there are a great many of them, know he is a boy who can be trusted and depended upon. This has meant a great deal to our school paper since the first copy was issued three years ago. His drawings in the Bulletin Board show a strong talent and, un- doubtedly, he will make this his profession. Lillian Gertrude: Brock Commercial Course Prom. Comm.: History Circle: Bulletin Board: I..!. Lillian seems to be a firm believer in that old adage, “Children should be seen and not heard.” However, unlike many of her quiet classmates she is quiet outside of school as well as inside. She has a delightful sense of humor, and takes any joke played on her as a good sportsman should. An active member of the class, she may be seen wherever there is anything stirring. What. “Lil’s” plans for the future are, she hasn’t yet disclosed. However, if appearances are not deceiving, this is one girl destined for future recognition. Good luck, Lillian from your classmates. Edward Joseph Broderick College Course I an Sigma: History Circle: Boot ball a: Historian ' Society: Prom. Committee: Debating During his four years in “High,” Ed has proved to be an ambitious lad. This is shown by his scholastic achievements, and we all admire him for it. As a member of the Photography Club and the Tau Sigma his likeable personality has ma e many loyal friends for him. A strong interest in history gained for him membership in the Clinton Historical Society and our own History Circle. Ed will soon enter an institution of higher learning in New England, and the possibilities point to Massachusetts State or Tufts. Here’s wishing you a successful future! Priscilla Bullard Commercial Course History Circle Next in line comes Priscilla, one of the most studious lassies of our class. Recess seems to be just another study period for her, for vou will always find her plugging away at some entry in Bookkeeping or scribbling some phrase in Shorthand. She is one believer in the phrase, “Silence is golden” at least in school. Hut she makes up for it when she gets out. We understand that Priscilla’s ambition is to become a hairdresser. She would pick out a job in which she doesn’t come in contact with boys! Good luck, Priscilla, from all your classmates. 20 Clementine Burton Commercial Course History Circle ; Athletic Association The saying - , “Good things come in small packages,” certainly applies to “petite” Clementine, who is the youngest girl in the Senior Class. She came to Clinton High last year from Marlboro and in her quiet way has made many true friends. As for social affairs she was a member of the Athletic Association, the History Circle, and attended all the High School dances, and still kept her name on the testimonial list. Clementine plans to attend a Business College in the fall and we all hope that she will have lots of good luck and success. Wesley Burton College Course Football; History Circle; Tan Sigma “Wes,” although a bit shy, is one of the most popular members of the Class of “38”. He loves all sports, especially football. His long ambition is to lock horns with our Principal in checkers. He showed no mercy for his opponents on the football field, being our scar fullback on the Midland League Champion Team. “Wes” attends all the school activities and is sure to be on hand when- ever anything is doing. Aside from his activities, he is very studious and ambitious. He hopes to be a successful politician. Good luck, “Wes.” Mary Elizabeth Butler College Course Historical Society; Class Boo { Staff: History Circle; A. A. Mary is our only class member from the suburb of Bolton, and it has been gloriously represented by her. She has never been known to burn the midnight oil studying, but she gathers testimonials like a magnet gathers pins. Chemistry and Math are her pet fields though she can be caught at Shorthand in her leisure mo- ments at recess. Mary’s friends are innumerable for everyone is attracted by her charming personality. Her witty conversation increases the sincere admi- ration and affection of all who know her. Her plans for the future are focused on a nursing career, where she is sure to be successful. The best wishes and congratulations of ’38 are all hers. Yolanda Rachael Carabba Commercial Course Prom. Committee ; History Circle; Athletic Association Yolanda came to us in her Senior year from Fitchburg — a tall, lovely brunette with a pleasing personality. Her ability as a seamstress and as a cook have made her an asset to Miss Thompson’s Household Arts class. She is not very enthusiastic about social affairs although she enjoys dancing and is always a good sport. For recreation — hiking, dancing, and roller skating take up most of her time. Yolanda has visions of becoming another Adrian and having seen her choice of clothes we are sure that she will be a great success. Clementine Burton Wesley Burton Mary Butler Yolanda Carabba 21 Florence ( ' aid Marjorie Carville Clarence Claxton Ann Cobb Florence Lois Card Commercial Clour sc junior Prow. Athletic Association Flo is a Commercial Student and one who has won many friends by helping others. She spends the greater part of her time studying to be an efficient secretary. She is an ardent backer of all events sponsored by Clinton High, es- pecially football. She is contented, never complains, and is willing to aid anyone at any time. No wonder she wins friends. Flo i- undecided where she will further her studies, but there are great possibilities of it being Becker Business College. Wherever she goes, Clinton High classmates are wishing her heaps of success. Marjorie Ethel Carville Commercial Course History Circle “Hi, Slug,” is the usual or shall we say unusual greeting one receives from this tall, quiet looking Senior, for Marge always has a cheery greeting for her classmates and teachers alike. One of Marge’s many accomplishments is talking, which she does hours on end. Marge tells us that one teacher went so far as to say she even talks in her sleep. Marge is planning to further her education at the Greenwich Children’s Hospital in Connecticut. Whatever you do, Marge, the class of “38” wishes you the best of luck. Clarence Whitman Claxton College Course Tati Sigma; History Circle ; lltillelin Boon Wieky, as he is known to his friends, is well liked by his classmates because of his good spirits which nothing seems able to dampen. Although he did not take his studies too seriously the first two years, he more than made up for it the last two. Because of outside employment, he was unable to go out for sports, but his constant attendance at all the High School events did much to make them a success. He plans to study for the Minis- try, and we feel sure that he will make a success of it. The Class of ’38 wishes you all the luck in the world, Wicky. Ann Barbara Cobb College Course I. A . On he Hu. Interchip Dramatic . Minstrel Shot v i: History Circle ; I ron:. Comm. Ann has always been on the “general excellence” list and yet she is far from being a book-worm in any sense of the word. She is well informed on many subjects, and can take an intelligent view on any topic that may come up for discussion. She is an accomplished musician, playing both violin and piano. She is a faithful supporter of all our sports, too. Ann s ambitions for the future are not known to us at present, but we are all rooting for her and know that she will come out on top. r Normal Course Mary Elizabeth Corrigan History Circle; Junior Prom. Committee ; A. A. Despite her quiet disposition, this curly-haired lass from Burditt-Hill attends all C. H. S. activities, and seems to have a very good time. Nothing ever bothers “Honeybuneh. ” Perhaps it is this happy trait that makes her so sorely missed during her rare absences. Or it may be her friendliness and sincerity which endear her to us. Mary does her schoolwork faithfully, dependably, and well. Thus, in spite of her occasional mischief, she remains in the good graces of the faculty. Mary’s ambitions remain a secret, but whatever they may be, we wish her the best of luck. Joseph Anthony Czarnecki Commercial Course History Circle; Tatt Sigma; Junior Prom. Committee; A. A. Joe is well-known as a faithful student and helpful classmate. He may be seen at most of our social functions and always seems to be on the best of terms with the opposite sex. Musically inclined he is a very talented artist on the violin, and during his spare time Joe plays his violin with a local orchestra He never worries a great deal about his studies and yet he always seems to get along well. Joe is undecided as to where he will further his education but wherever he chooses to go, the best wishes from the Class of ’38 go with him. Helen Despotopulos College Course History Circle Helen is short in stature, but making up for that in her pleasing dis- position, she has won an enviable place in all our hearts. We have often wondered why Helen doesn’t grace our social functions more than she does, but perhaps the answer comes as we pull into school with our sleepy eyed, morning-afters, and find her fresh as a daisy with her lessons all prepared. Helen plans to be a stenographer in later life. We all know success is sure to follow her wherever she may go. Alfred Domenico General Course Prom. Committee , Tatt Sigma; History Circle Sometimes it isn’t what a fellow does , but what he is that makes him popular. That’s the way it is with “Al.” He never exerted himself to attain testimonials or to take a very active part in athletic and social activi- ties, but he always gave his support and was interested in everything that went on. What we will remember most about “Al” is that pleasant smile and the quiet, easy, friendly manner. Mary Corrigan Joseph Czarnecki Helen Despotopulos Alfred Domenico 23 Leocutiia Donat John Donnelly Stanley Duchnowski Thomas Duffy Leocadia Donat Commercial Course History Cirdc: Athletic Association: Bulletin Bonn Leocadia is one of the girls to graduate this June. She has completed her four year Commercial Course and we judge from the interest she has shown in her studies that she will be successful in a commercial field. We have proof of this when we learn that she was secretary to the Shorthand Teacher in her Senior year, and typist for the school paper. Being unde- cided in her plans for the future, we are in doubt as to her future work, but we are not in doubt that she will succeed in whatever she attempts. John Joseph Donnelly College Course Football: Tan Sigma: History Circle Now let us introduce one of the most popular boys in the school whose winning smile and cheerful greeting is well known by all his classmates. Although “Amber’ - never got hot and bothered over studies, and is seldom seen taking a book home, he always manages to make the grade. He played Varsity Football and was an important factor in winning the Midland League Football Championship of ’38. Jack has not yet decided what he will do after his graduation, but whatever it is we are all cheering for him. Stanley George Dlchnowski Commercial Course Tail Sigma: History Circle f| Here we meet a reserved boy with a pleasant smile and winning per- sonality. “Tanny” is a modest chap who never interferes in other people’s business. Stanley has chosen a position where he may be at all times in contact with business and pleasure. Every afternoon you can see him smiling over the counter of his father’s grocery store. Although he didn’t participate in athletics, he was always a rooter and attended all High School games. At the present time, “Tanny” is uncertain what he intends to do in the future, but we know that he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. Thomas Joseph Dleey College Course Tan Sigma History Circle: Ircnc i Club: Senior Show. Prom. Comm. A. A. Although Tom, is one of our most romantically inclined members, he i- also an all around good fellow. He remained somewhat in the back- ground during his first three years, but more than made up for it this year. Much of his popularity is due to the fact that he has an unquenchable sense of humor. Those who saw him in the Senior show know of his ability as an actor. At the present t i m ■■ he is undecided which institution of higher learning he will attend, but wherever he goes we feel sure that he will make his fellow classmates at (’. H. S. proud of him. 24 Kathryn Gertrude Dundas Normal Course History Circle; Athletic Association; Prom. Committee; Radio Rente And here is Kathryn. No one could help but like her at the first meeting. Friendly and gay, Katie has become one of our most popular girls, and can be seen at all the school functions. Kathryn has been faithful in her studies throughout her four years in High School, and as a result, she always managed to stay near the top of the class. She has decided upon a nursing career, and we all know that with her conscientious nature and cheery disposition, she will make an excellent nurse. Helen Patricia Durkin Commercial Course Historical Society; Cheerleader: History Circle; Prom. Comm.; St. Mihiel Day Helen is that demure, little girl whom we all admire and whom we all have the advantage of knowing. No matter what dance you attend she is one of the first on the floor. Helen is also a loyal sports fan. She’s always on hand for baseball, basketball, and is one of our cheer-leaders at the football games. She is better known as one of the best girl swimmers in Clinton. Remember the water carnival? Helen’s pretty face, pleasing- personality, and cheery disposition will certainly help her climb the ladder of success. Good luck, Helen, from the class of 1938.

Committee Let us introduce “Duke.” He and Charlie may be seen going- from class to class together everyday, the modern version of David and Jonathan. “Duke” doesn’t stay up all night studying, yet, you never see a red mark on his card. He is the kind of a fellow everyone likes to meet, a boy with a winning smile, carefree attitude, and athletic manner. A glance at his activities list shows him to be a very busy young man. We understand “Duke” has his heart set on entering Bentley’s next fall, and then the business world will be his next stop. Peter Martin Flaherty Commercial Course History Circle; Tan Sigma, Interclass Baseball; Athlet ic Association Kind hearted, unselfish, and ambitious to be a business man, Peter works for his uncle afternoons, and one can see his big smile when he’s be- hind the wheel of Ruane’s truck. Although a working boy, he has plenty of time for pleasure, too. He loves all spox-ts and attends all the school games, dances and shows, and is a favorite with the opposite sex. His favorite subject, incidentally, was Bookkeeping, and he intends to go to college next year, and take up a Business Administration course. Wherever he goes, the class of ’38 wishes him all the success in the world. Kathryn Dundas Helen Durkin Ronald Duvarney Peter Flaherty Gerald Flynn Mary Freel Anna Freeman Audrey Garber Gerald I. Flynn Commercial Course Prom. Committee : History Circle: A. A. Although “Jerry seems to have an inherent dislike for the spotlight, he is known to everyone, and spends his recesses entertaining his friends, who seek relaxation after their arduous toil of the morning. Most of us are familiar with Jerry ' s wit, but not all of us are familiar with his more serious side. His work, in school ami out, is always complete, neat anil original, which qualities are sure to win him success in the busi- ness world he plans to enter. Gerald waited until his Senior year to run for an office. Then, as a surprise to himself, but no one else, he was elected Treasurer of our History Circle. Here’s luck from ’38, Jerry. Mary Elizabeth Freel Commercial Course History Circle: Prom. Committee, ,t. A. The first impression one gets of Mary is that she is quiet, but given a chance she will soon dispel any such illusions. Mary’s pleasing personality makes her a real chum and it’s hard to find a more likeable pal. She has always helped support school activities, both games and socials. One hardly mentions Mary without echoing “Kaddy” and “Anna.” Her excellence in Bookkeeping leads us to believe that the future will find her holding a good position. Whatever the future years may hold, we want Mary to know that her Class of ‘38 will be rooting for her. Anna Mary Freeman Normal Course History Circle: Prom. Committee : luitho Keene: Cheerleader ' yy : I. A. Now we give you one of our cheerleaders, Anna. She is popular with everyone because she has a very enchanting smile and pleasing personality and can seldom be found at home. Anna attends all the social functions of the school and we know of no person who enjoys them more. A loyal sup- porter of the teams, Anna has led many a spectator in a rousing cheer. Anna’s ambition is to b a nurse. We all feel that when she dons her white uniform she will be a great success because of her sunny disposition and witty remarks. Audrey Florence Garber College Course trench Chih, History Circle: Prom. Committee: Minstrel Show i: A. A. Now once more before you is the proof that the old saying “Gentlemen prefer blondes” still goes. Early in life, “Aud” dedicated herself to two things love of a good time and love of friends. Let us assure you she has gained both, along with numerous testimonials. Audrey is one of a trium- virate at school and play, for we never see her without “Skip” Salmon and “Hick” Radley. “Aud’s” future is as yet undecided but we know that what- ever she undertakes she will make a success of it. So “Au revoir” and the best of luck from the Class of “38”. 26 Alice Gardner General Course Prom. Committee; History Circle; A. A. Alice who came to us about five years ago from East Weymouth, Massa- chusetts is one of our smartest and most ambitious students, shining ' in her secretarial studies. In appearance Alice is quiet and conservative, but to those who really know her, she is full of fun. Her favorite pastime seems to be reading and studying. Alice has the necessary chaiacteristics for everlasting friendships in that she is very loyal and has a sense cf humor. She plans to become a nurse in the Clinton Hospital. The Class of 1938 wishes you all the luck in the world, Alice, for a successful career. Mary Margaret Gaughan Commercial Course junior Prom. Committee; History Circle, A. A. A friend indeed to each and every classmate in need. A movie fan who can relate the comings and goings of any movie star from Gable down to Mickey Mouse. Mary is somewhat, of a reader, and uses her imagination freely. She is an industrious little lassie, eager to accomplish much, and sure to prosper because of her honesty and ability. Mae refuses to divulge her plans for the future. A pity too, for why does she want to keep them a secret? However, she may be sure the Class of “38” backs her up in what- ever she might do. Mae Emily Gersch Commercial Course Prom. Committee; History Circle A A. “Mae” is only a little over five feet tall and a bundle of mischief, having a shy smile which is belied by the merry twinkle in her eye. An ardent sport fan, “Mae” can be found at the football games cheering the team on to vic- tory. She is a member of the History Circle and filled with the true C. H. S. spirit, working hard at her studies and supporting her school in every pos- sible w ' ay. We have no clue as to her ambitions for the future, but we are betting on her success in anything that she endeavors to take up in the future. Best wishes, Mae.

However, in spite of his numerous avocations, he manages to maintain an enviable record in his school subjects, especially Bookkeeping. Such a hustler cannot fail to be successful. In the years to come, his former class- mates will point with pride to his outstanding achievements in the business world, and he will take his place in Clinton High’s long line of success- ful graduates. The class of 1938 wishes you the best of luck, Gibby.

He and his colleague “T” are often seen driving olf in the direction of the local Rifle Range in an effort to capture some of those wily targets. His unruffled calm in classes has won him many friends, and he is well deserving of all the good luck and prosperity he will gain in future life. Edward Gosselin College Course Tim Sigma.

We are still in the dark as to what Ed’s future plans are.

Not very often does any girl achieve the popularity and love of everyone as does this little “Miss” from Greely Hill. She has a winning smile and an arresting personality. She never has to be fearful in class, for her marks are always in the testimonial ranking. Her plans for the future are not known to us at the present time, but we know she is one girl that is sure to go to the top. “Dot,” the Class of “38” wishes you God-speed and good luck in all your future endeavors. John William Grady College Course Tati Sigma: History Circle Now we come upon the smiling features of one of our smart classmates, namely, John Grady. We wonder why John doesn’t go to dances. Is it be- cause he prefers to go to the movies, or is there some other reason un- known to us? lie has a great many friends and a smile for each and every one. On some afternoons, and on Saturdays, he helps his father with the moving business. Whatever John chooses to undertake in future life, the Class of ’38 knows that he will come through with flying colors. 28 Thomas Henry Francis Grady College Course Treasurer of Tail Sigma . History Circle; Trench Club: Debating Club Tom, better known to his henchmen as “T”, is one of the most popular members of the Senior Class. He is quick with his wit, as we well remember from F period. He does well in his studies, too. He evinces much interest in sports outside of school, being particularly interested in shooting and hockey. He is fond of dancing and is seen at many of our High School “soirees.” Although at present his plans for the future are indefinite, we are certain that his winning personality will help him to the top in what- ever he undertakes. Charles Leo Gravel Commercial Course History Circle; Tan Sigma: Prom.

Excelling in baseball and hockey, he can be seen either pitching cr holding down second base, and in the winter knocking the puck around. He also is well known for his knowledge of Bookkeeping. “Testus est,” Mr. Comiskey. Like “Duke” he is planning on entering Bentley’s School of Accounting in the fall. Charlie’s leaving will be a loss to Clinton High and a gain for Bentley’s. Good luck, Charlie, from the class of 1938. Philomena Margaret Guadagnoli College Course Athletic Association; Thanksgiving Show; History Circle Phil is one of the busiest girls in the school as a glance above will show. We don’t know where she gets all the time she has, but we do know she hasn’t failed us yet. You must remember Phil taking notices around in her Junior and Senior years. Her favorite hobby is arguing, at which she is very good, and the worst part of it is that she’s usually right. Phil would like to be a dietitian and anyone she cooks for is guaranteed not to waste away, unless it is mentally pining for her cheerful face. Stephen Joseph Gwiazda Commercial Course History Circle; Tan Sigma; football Ready, willing, and able will describe the ever alert Steve. Although he never burned the midnight oil studying, he somehow managed to get creditable marks. Being employed in one of our local restaurants after school hours, he did not have much of an opportunity to participate in athletics until this fall, when he earned his letter in varsity football. He is ambitious, as one can see from his many activities, good-natured, and always willing to lend a hand to those who need it. Because of these sterling qualities, it is a certainty he will make his mark in the world. Good luck, Steve.

Eleanor claims to have no favorite sport but we know she pre- fer- football we wonder if it could possibly be our good team? Eleanor has not decided whether to become a Dental Hygienist or a Secretary but we are sure she will succeed in whatever she undertakes. Best wishes, Eleanor, from your classmates. John is an example of what a high school student should be. He is industrious, unassuming, and considerate of everyone. As he always has his lessons prepared, he is one person the teachers welcome in their classes. But don’t get the impression John is a grind. He is far from that, as he finds time to attend all football games and belong to several of the Senior clubs. Besides these social activities, he spends much of his spare time chauf- feuring the family around. John i- undecided what to do in the future, but whatever it is, here’s luck from ’.‘38. Joe is one of our jolliest classmates. His hearty laugh and ready smile combined with his pleasing manner have made many friends for him. Although he doesn’t participate in many sports, because he hasn’t the time, he usually manages to show up at most of the games and other school activ- ities to help encourage the players or amuse the socialites.

She is very fond of sports and takes an active part, especially in basketball and skating. Nursing seems to have its doors open to Olive, and we are sure she will bring as much cheer to her patients at Massachusetts General Hospital as she has brought to us.

In all the four years we have known her, we have never heard her utter a cross word. Her willingness to help her classmates whenever they stood in need of help endeared her to them. As yet, Betty hasn’t decided what she will do next year, but we know from our association with her, in the past, that she will certainly succeed. John Joseph Joyce College Course Varsity Baseball; Athletic Association From Burditt Hill, and known as Dobbin, this smiling blonde haired young man is one of the most popular members of his class. He likes base- ball best, but supports all High School athletics. Most any day he can be seen rolling around the town in his automobile. On his days off. he works at the local First National Store, where we trust his High School education will do him good. He is a great roarner of the small towns, and does he bowl the village belles over? We don’t know Dob’s future plans, but we wish him luck just the same.

Edward Joseph Kelley Commercial Course Ban Sigma: History Circle Although Ed never troubled much about studying, he always made the grade. A constant attendant at all High School games, whether at home or out of town, he did not participate in athletics himself, not because of a lack of desire, but of size. His favorite recreation is swimming, and he can be seen nearly every summer afternoon at the Nashua River float. Ed is an excellent dancer, and he attends most of the High School dances. Ed ' s plans for the future are not known, but whatever they are, we are certain he will be a credit to our class.

Phil was a member of the varsity Football Team during- his Junior year, but did not have further opportunity to show his athletic ability, because the greater part of this time was taken up by his studies and other activities. During his four years at C. H. S. he was never known to say “no” when his services were required for some extra-curriculum activity. Phil always fared well in his studies, and intends to further his education at Becker’s Business College. Wilma Christine Krantz Normal Course History Circle; nnior Prom. Committee; A. A.

Although her name was on the general excellence list every quarter throughout the four years, she successfully combined social activ- ities and sports with studies, and fared well in all.

He refuses to say what he will do after graduation but knowing that he will probably need it, we wish him the best of luck in whatever he does, and we say to his future opponents, beware of that smiling countenance because with it is an iron will.

S. and the Class of ’38 wishes her the best of luck. John Bernard Mitchell College Course Tan Sigma; History Circle French Club: Debating Chib; From. Comm. Suave sophisticated seniors are common so, it is with pleasure tha ' we turn to an “Acreite” who is concerned with being rather than seeming. “Mitch” is primarily a student, and, needless to say, a good one. His sports- manship, cheerfulness and willingness to help, have made him a much sought after friend. Ill health has impeded his extra curricular activities but has been no impediment to the ambition, personality and humor which he possesses in abundance. We predict a very happy and successful future for you, “Jack,” whatever your endeavor! .38 Catherine Rowena Montgomery Commercial Course Minstrel Show l ; History Circle; Senior Piny. el. . . Rowena has the sophistication desired by all of us and attained by few. But we have heard that even sophisticated people race the last bell. It is said that she has such distaste foi alarm clocks that she simply relies on Miss Moran to ring the first bell especially loud. She has proven herself a talented actress in our Senior Play, has a fine singing voice, is an excellent swimmer, and showed her executive ability and dramatic talents by adroitly directing the entertainments of a certain organization not connected with the school. Her calm voice and varied talents will surely win her success. Rosalie Moran Commercial Course History Circle; Class Booh Staff; Bulletin Board; Prom. Comm.; Sec. oj A. A. As our next personality let us present Rosalie, one of the most charming and ravishing of our many lovely senior girls. You have often heard the expression, “as sweet as a song.” Well, here’s one girl that is, and then some. Her good marks and her good advice in important matters, com- mand respect from all of us. Rosalie is one girl who does not have to worry about being a wallflower at a dance, as is easily seen by her constant group of admirers. Rosalie is headed for Katherine Gibb’s Secretarial School and then we suppose she’s on her way to make someone happy by being an efficient private secretary. Remember “38” “Ro.” We won’t forget you. William Moulton Technical Course Trench Club; Tan Sigma; History Circle; Senior Show; Adv. Mgr. Class Booh.; Prom. Comm. “Bill” by nickname, is tall, blond, and loquacious, and also a very popular member of our Class. Outside activities are plenty but let us say that he never misses a dance or social affair of any kind if he can help it. His general disposition, pleasing personality, and argumentative spirit greatly increase our hilarity in such classes as Physics, Trig., and French. Billy really showed us some dramatic ability when he successfully por- trayed the part of Jarvis, the butler, in the Senior Show. He plans to further his education at some Tech School where we know he’ll make good. Russell Francis Murdy College Course History Circle; Tan Sigma; Class Bool { Staff ; Historical Society Russell, well known and liked by his classmates, is oui only Senior with ambition enough to undertake the translating of Virgil. His cus- tomary good work is ascertained by the fact that his name is on the testi- monial and general excellence list every quarter. Russell’s keen wit and pleasant manner make him very popular with those of us who are well acquainted with him. His chief diversions are the movies and stamp col- lecting. Russell expects to further his education but is undecided which college to attend. However, we know he will have no difficulty wherever he goes and we wish him the best of luck. Catherine Montgomery Rosalie Moran William Moulton Russell Murdy 39 l’artloy Murphy William Murphy Helen Nadolny Edward Nnughton Bartley Mi rimiy College Course History Circle; I rene h Club: Tan Sigma This introduces “Bart,” one ol those rare combinations of an athlete and a good student. “Murph.” obtained pood marks while at Clinton High School, anil received his share of testimonials every quarter. The world would know more about his athletic ability if it followed sandlot football and baseball down in the hotbed of sandlot sports — the North End. He is another of our quiet boys who was never seen running helter- skelter through the corridors but yet he is always around when the fun begins. “Bart” intends to enter the professional field and has decided that Holy Cross will furnish him with the necessary knowledge. William James Murphy Normal Course History Circle; Tan Sigma To look at Bill, one would think he was a quiet boy, but his friends would inform you otherwise. He is a likeable fellow with a good natured disposition. Murph is not inclined to be too studious, but usually manages to get fairly good marks on his report card. Ye have not as yet been informed of Bill’s future plans, but we are sure that whatever he undertakes he will be a success. In whatever career he decides to pursue, he has the best wishes of the Class of “38”. Helen Theresa Nadolny Normal Course !h story Curie Helen is a quiet, unassuming type of girl with a way about her that has won her many friends. At recess she is generally found in her seat pondering over her books and preparing herself for the next period. Thus, from our observance of Helen’s work in Clinton High, we can predict that success will follow her every attempt in the world. May our prediction be true, because very few of us are more deserving of success than Helen. Good luck to you, Helen. Howard Joseph Nalohton College Course Has bet ball In ten lass Baseball 2; I’rom. Comm . Tan Sigma: History Circle Ed combines his athletic activities with his school work and it seems to work. Though not the loud-mouth type, he has enlarged his circle of friends to the extent that there are few of the Class of “38” who do not call him “friend”. Baseball occupies first place in Ed’s favorite sports or hobbies and he has distinguished himself as an able pitcher on the baseball teams of Clinton’s Boys’ Clubs. Although he has no definite plans for the future at present, we feel sure that a few years from now he will be pointed out with pride as a member of the Class of “38”. Commercial Course Edna Marie Noon History Circle: Junior Prom. Committee: Cheerleader “ ’6”; A. A. Now we come to “Ed”, one of the most popular girls in our class. Her sunny countenance can be seen beaming at her customers in the “5 and 10” any afternoon. She is a loyal supporter of all school activities, espe- cially football, for who doesn’t remember Ed’s cheering- for last year’s foot- ball team. There is never a dull moment in class when Ed’s around. Everyone who is acquainted with Edna knows that she will succeed in anything she undertakes, so, the best of luck from “38,” Edna. Jean Katherine Nugent Commercial Course History Circle Here is one of the most popular girls from the Acre. You will always receive a warm, genuine smile from Jean, whether in class, or in New- berry’s Store where she spends h: j r Thursday and Saturday nights. A de- pendable rooter at all school spoiling activities, she has time for studies and social pleasures as her report card marks show. She excels in Com- mercial subjects, and has hopes of becoming a secretary for a large con- cern. Knowing Jean’s ability of doing great things, we know she is bound to succeed. Classmates wish her all the luck in the world. Charles Patrick O ' Malley Commercial Course Tat i Sigma; History Circle Let us now introduce you to Charlie, who is supposedly one of the quiet members of our class. His many friends, however, have a different opinion, Charlie is equipped with a pleasant sense of humor and magnetic person- ality. These two factors help in haking him an agreeable companion. Charlie is very much interested in sports, but had no time to try out for the various teams. He is, however, an ardent follower and could always be found in the cheering section at all our sporting events. Charlie as yet is undecided about his future, but whatever vocation he follows we are sure he will be successful. Eleanor Alice O’Malley Normal Course History Circle: Junior Prom.. Committee ; Athletic Association With a typical American smile, Eleanor is one of the sort of girls you like to know. And believe us, that smile is certainly contagious whenever you meet this ray of sunshine. The three “R’s” seem to be a problem for Eleanor and they require a little work. But as in everything else, she is the conqueror and not the conquered. A girl with such charm, personality and with a sense of humor, she most certainly will be successful in all her endeavors. Here’s to your suc- cessful future, Eleanor, and may you be blessed with the happiness you have given to others.

Committee; Bookkeeper for A. Eunice is one of the most popular members of our class and needs no introduction. To a stranger she might seem a quiet sort of a person, but her class- mates know that she is always jolly and sociable. Eunice can be seen at all dances and social affairs, and, yet, she manages to receive her share of “t sties.” She is also fond of sports and is always present at football gam s. We do not know, however, what E unice intends to do, but we do know t hat with her cheerful and winning personality she will lind great success in the future. Mary O’Malley John Joseph O’Malley Commercial Course History Circle; Tan Sigma John is one of our quiet boys. You never know he is around until you need help and there he is, willing to lend a hand. Sports do not claim any of John’s interests, but his activities column will show that he is not lacking in the support of school organizations. Although few know it, he is an expei ' t on the violin and an authority on music. John is mechanically inclined, but unlike others, he leans toward avia- tion. His dream is to become a transport pilot. Perhaps he will give us all a ride someday. How about it, John? Joseph Patrick O ' Malley Commercial Course Tati Sigma: History Circle; Basketball Wh en in the course of every day school life you come upon a smiling, wavv-haired young fellow, you may be sure it is Joe. He was a regular starter on our basketball team. Joe hails from the Acre, which probably accounts tor his genial, good natured disposition. He is one of the most popular boys in the school and you always find him surrounded by members of the fair sex. Joe hasn’t made up his mind yet what will happen after he gets his diploma, but he is sure to make good. Mary Margaret O’Malley Normal Course History Circle: Athletic Association And now we have Mary, who by her bright smiles and good nature ha won many friends. She does not believe in studying too hard, or wor- iving too much. Perhaps this accounts for her brilliant remarks in I atin E She can sketch very accurately and beautifully. One of her outstanding accomplishments is drawing profiles. Mary Lakes a great interest in every- thing- that goes on in High School, especially football, of which she has become a steady supporter. As to her plans for the future, Mary is still uncertain, but we feel sure that whatever she takes up will lead to success. We will be rooting for you, Mary. 42 Walter Schofield O ' Malley College Course Dramatics; Football 3. 4; Baseball 3, 4: Basketball 3, 4; History Circle; Prom. Comm. Here is Waller, a popular boy in our class, whose deeds make us proud of him. He helped lead the football team to the Midland League Champion- ship, and also to the best record it has had for some time by his great all- around ability. His other accomplishments are star pitcher en our baseball team and a star in our stage productions. Walter is undecided as to what institution he will attend to further his education, but his pleasant personality and athletic prowess will make any Dean proud and any Coach jubilant. John James O ' Toole College Course History Circle; French Club; Tan Sigma; Class Buo ( Staff; Debating To all those well acquainted with him this gay fellow is known a? “Red.” He needs very little introduction, as his everlasting cheerful mood and pleasant smile have made him known and liked by all. He takes his studies very seriously, and has intentions of furthering his education, but as yet has not made up his mind as to what institution he will attend. With his attainments John will go far in whatever field he chooses, and will be one more star in 1938’s firmament. Mary Margaret O ' Toole Commercial Course History Circle; Prom. Committee Secretary 3, 3; A. A. Here is one girl in our class who certainly needs no introduction. Her interest in class affairs, as well as her popularity, has resulted in her elec- tion as Class Secretary for the past two years. At our social functions Mary is usually on hand, and incidentally, we have never seen her sitting out a dance. A glance at her activity column will show her to be one of the busiest girls in the school. Mary’s plans for the future are as yet undetermined. However, we all know that with, her personality, nothing but success is in store for her. David Perham College Course Athletic Association; Prom. Committee; Tan Sigma Dave needs no introduction to anyone who is at all interested in outdoor life. If one wants to know anything about hunting and fishing, Dave is a walking encyclopedia. Dave is the personification of the old adage “Still water runs deep.” He has very little to say but we know he thinks a lot. Because of illness Dave was absent from school for some time, but by much hard work he overcame the obstacle and he will soon be the proud possessor of a C. H. S. diploma. Although his future plans are indefinite, we feel sure he will make his mark in the world. Walter O ' Malley John O ' Toole Mary O ' Toole David Perham 43 Marion Elizabeth Philbin Normal Course History Circle: Prom. Committee: A. A. V e were certainly glad to sec Marion when she returned to us after her long sojourn at Thontpsonville High. Evidently her former classmates miss her because the mail-man will need a truck if that constant flow of letters continues. Beauty, brains, sincerity, wit and a happy-go-lucky nature are all combined in Marion. Although a new sophistication has taken the place of her former notorious mischief, still where Marion is, there is fun. She is planning to enter Teachers College next fall, but has not decided which one. Anyway, here’s luck, Marion. Helen Polewarczyk Commercial Course History Circle Helen is a blue-eyed, fun-loving blond; popular with both the boys and girls. She is a quiet girl in classes with one exception, which happens to be U. S. What was the reason, Helen? Helen is a member of the History Circle, and we believe she will cooperate with the other members to make it a success. She has completed a four year Commercial Course, and we know that she will be a valuable asset in any business she chooses. We wish you luck in your future, Helen, and know you will succeed in anything you undertake. Mary Ponyta Commercial Course History Circle Pleasant, though reserved, but with a definite aim in life, that’s Blondie. Quiet, she is nevertheless an enthusiastic rooter for all High School activ- ities; and though she is well occupied by her studies, and also her work, Mary always has been able to lend a helping hand and an encouraging- word to a fellow worker in distress. Her ambition is to become a nurse, and her classmates with one accord wish ho- success in her chosen field; we know she’ll reach Per goal. Francis Prichard Technical Course Prom. Committee: History Circle: Tim Sigma: A. A. Francis is a boy whose middle name is “punctuality,” a boy who, to our knowledge, has the good quality of never being late. He is very quiet, is a ' oval member of the Senior Class, and has done much to support it. His name has not appeared too frequently on the testimonial list, but you can be sure his marks were always above passing. Working at “Mike’s” lias kept him from attending many sport games in which he has an average interest. We all hope, or rather know, that Francis will be successful in anything he may take up after graduation. 44 Harriet Ruth Radley College Course History Circle; Bulletin Board; Radio Revue; Senior Show; A. A. Harriet is a young - lady who, although she has been here but a short while, needs no introduction. She entered our Class quietly and unknown but she soon became acquainted because of her personality and charm- ing ways. Fritze is a good dancer and is seen at almost all social functions. She is planning to enter B. U. next year and then she is going to be another Alix, we just know, because anything Harriet does she does well. We say so long to Fritze with hopes of meeting her later on, and we know she’ll be the same loyal friend we knew in our days in C. H. S. Fred Ramig Technical Course Treasurer ' 38 ; History Circle; Prom. Comm.; Class Bool; Staff: Baseball; Dramatics 4 Here is Fred, the Treasurer of our Class. His r eady smile and winning- personality have easily made him one of the most popular members of the Class. He never misses a dance or a chance to play the piano, and, of course, everyone has heard Fred play his guitar and harmonica. In spite of all his outside activities, he still manages to pull down numerous testimonials. One has to know Fred to become acquainted with his grand sense of humor — very witty, but subtle. Fred is undecided about his future, but whatever it may be, happy landing, P’red. Charles Kimball Raynsford Technical Course Class Pres.; Ed. Class Bool;; Football 4: Tau Sigma; History Circle; Prom. Comm. Kim might be called “Paderewski, the second”, but the piano isn’t his only accomplishment. His marks for the whole four years have never once been below general excellence and what he doesn’t know about Math, isn’t worth knowing. As proof of this he received a mark of 100% in his Solid Geometry Midyear. Popular? Most assuredly. He’s the President of our class. Sports? Varsity football and hockey seem to hold his atten- tion. His greatest ambition is to go to West Point, so here’s wishing the best of luck to you, Kim, and hoping you will be one of our future Generals. Claire Joyce Reardon Commercial Course History Circle; Junior Prom. Committee . Athletic Association r , 2, 3, 4 As we look upon this smiling face we know it can be none other than Claire. She is sure to be found at all the High School shows and would rather dance than eat. She’s also a very versatile pianist — but oh, so modest. “Brownie” is an enthusiastic sports fan and can be seen at all the school athletic activities. She is one of the youngest members of the class, but what she lacks in age she makes up for in popularity. Claire hasn’t decided what she will turn her talents to, but whatever it is we know she will be successful. Best of luck from ’38, Claire. Harriet Radley Fred Ramig Kimball Raynsford Claire Reardon 45 lilanchc Redstone Elizabeth Rodprers Arthur Rose Alice Russell Blanche Mae Redstone Normal Course History Circle: Athletic Association Blanche is the kind of girl who hides her light under a bushel. On first acquaintance she seems like a quiet, shy girl with nut much to say, but if you penetrate her reserve she can pun and joke with the best of us. She can always be found rooting- and cheering at the C. II. S. football games and her spirit is that of a true C. H. S. student. She is a member of the History Circle and plays an active part in the Senior Girl Scout Club. Her sincere efforts in whatever she undertakes are sure to make Blanche a success. Elizabeth M. Rodgers Commercial Course History Circle: A. A. Elizabeth, better known to all as “Bettie,” is one of the few out-of-town girls who came to Clinton High as a Junior. Since, she has made many friends who find her ready smile and quick wit very likeable. “Bettie” came to us from Greenwich, Connecticut. She enjoys social activities and enters into them whole-heartedly. However, her studies come first and outside activities seldom interfere. Nursing is Bettie’s aim in life and she plans to go back to Greenwich to study her chosen profession. The Class of “38” wishes you the best of luck and may you never forget Clinton and the many friends you made here. Arthur Rose Commercial Course Tati Sigma: History Circle: Football 4. Basketball , 4: Dramatics _j, 4 Here is one of the busiest boys in our Class, always dashing around on the basketball court, or strutting his stuff on the stage. However, none of this interferes with his school work. When the marks come out, Tex always holds hi- own. He is also one of the most popular boys in the school. We don’t know whether Arthur has gone in to see Mr. Cobb about going away, but we can all rest assured that he is a boy who will go far in anv kind of business or profession, for he has what it takes. Alice Katherine Russell Commercial Course History Circle: Senior Show: Thanksgiving Show 1 , 2, 4: Cheer Leader: Prom. Comm.: A. A. And here is our little bundle of joy. That’s the way to describe Alice. A smiling, happy, fun-loving, good-natured kid. You never see her with- out a smile on h- r face or without a helping hand for everyone. She is one of the most popular girls in the school. Her marks are always above the 1 quired grade. Remember her in the Senior Show as Phyllis Duganne? She is very seldom seen without her side kick. Dot Goullis. We may have joked with you, Alice, but we did it in fun. The class of “38” wishes you all the luck in the world as you make your way through life. 46 Earle Lemuel Russell College Course Tati Sigma; History Circle; Tennis Team; Prom. Committee Here is one of the most popular boys in our Class, five feet of joy and happiness, a boy possessed of a happy-go-lucky, devil-may-care attitude. He was Treasurer of our class during his Junior year but did not choose to run for office in his Senior year. What his plans are after he receives his sheepskin are a deep, dark secret. However, we know that Earle is sure to make friends wherever he may go or whatever path of endeavor he may elect to follow. Delores Helen Salmon College Course Vice-Prcs. 2, 4; Prom. Comm.; French Club; Minstrel Show 1; A. A Pretty to walk with; witty to talk with, doesn’t half do “Skip” justice because she is a lot more than that to the Class of “38”. Pensively dreaming one minute, and the life of the party the next; Skip is a study in psychology. “Skip” has a good time wherever she goes and always manages to in- clude everyone else in the fun. We know that when “Skip” jorns the “White Parade” of nurses it will be a case of her patients not wanting to get well; but with “Skip” as nurse they will have no choice in the matter. William Urban Salmon College Course Tau Sigma: History Circle; Football 2. 3, 4 ; Prom. Committee Whether in the classroom, on the athletic field, or at a social function, “Bill” is always outstanding. He participates in almost every sport available, and satisfies his social inclinations by attending all C. H. S. socials. Although naturally of a carefree disposition, and (as his list of activ- ities shows) too busy to be a grind, Bill can be depended upon, and his standing as a scholar is always good. As a result, he is bound for the school of Journalism at B. U. next September. “Au revoir,” Bill, and here’s luck from ’38. Joseph James Scanlon College Course Tan Sigma; French Club; History Circle; Football ; Prom. Comm. “Joe” has popularized his cheery grin and curly hair. He is the kind of a boy whose heart is a little too big and, the kind of a friend who never lets you down. His most valuable asset, which few have discovered, is his marvelous common sense. Given a chance it is likely to be his foothold to success. Business is his main interest although he has not selected his future voca- tion. He plans to go to Northeastern. We all know that Joe’s star is yet to shine and it will, for underneath his careless exterior burns a flame of ambition. So here’s to you, Joe.

She attends all the socials and her winning smile combined with her charming personality keep her well supplied with partners. “Phil” has a way of making every dark room bright, and every sober face happy when she enters the room.

He intends to further his studies, but as yet he does not know at what institution. He alternates between Tech and the Coast Guard Academy. Good luck, Fred. Pauline Helen Schneider Commercial Course Prom. Committee: History Circle: ( hits Boo ( Sniff: A. A. Pauline is one of the quiet girls in our Class. She is one of our happy classmates who has rapidly won many friends by her ready smile and good nature.

Very conscientious in her school work she has acquired an enviable record during her four years at C. H. S. Although “Polly” spends considerable time on school work, not all her time is devoted to it. Her favorite occupation seems to be the movies. “Polly” plans to go to Business College and the Class of 1938 wishes her success for the future. Foster Andrew Seuss Technical Course Tun Sifiimi History Circle Foster is a tall, blond, rather quiet and modest type of fellow with a wav about him that has won him many friends. Serious by nature, he does well anything he attempts, as may be shown by his fine grades ever since he entered Clinton High four years ago During his spare time he may be seen roaming through the woods with gun, fishpole. or traps. He also enjoys skating, skiing, bicycling, hiking, and stamp collecting. Foster plans to further his education, but is undecided iust where he will do so. We know, however, that he will surely succeed in whatever career he may choose. 48 John Francis Shepardson College Course Varsity Football; History Circle; Tan Sigma; Junior From. Committee We really don’t need to tell you who this is, for everyone knows “Hank,” one of our youngest Senior boys. We remember John when he was just a bashful (?) Freshman — quiet and studious — but times have changed as has our “Sheppy,” and we have now a “sophisticated Senior.” John says he has no feminine interests but we know better! He has managed to acquire a few testimonials during his High School career, and was well up in his studies. While John hasn’t decided as yet what his plans for the future are, we know that he will succeed in anything he undertakes. Charlotte Susanna Sladen Commercial Course History Circle; Class Book Staff; Prom. Committee; .1. I. Charlotte, one of those quiet unassuming girls, is very studious. This is proven to us when we glance at the testimonials list for the past four years. Bookkeeping seems to be her favorite subject and she is one of Gie few who has completed this course. But Charlotte’s only interest isn’t in the business world. She is greatly fascinated by the “whys and where- fores” of Biology and especially Physiology. Charlotte tells us that she would like nothing better than to travel. We are sure that her dreams for the fut ure will materialize to her greatest satisfaction. Isabella Marie Sladen General Course History Circle; Bulletin Board ; Class Book Staff Isabella is a popular member of the Clinton High School Class of “38” and well known as an artist.

But you must know the adage, “Good things come in small packages.” This certainly describes Arnold, one of the most cheerful members of our class. His laughter can be heard ringing throughou t the school, as he pulls one of his playful pranks. Although not too studious, he manages to keep those danger signals off his report card. Arnold has not yet decided on Iris future voca- tion, but the class of “38” knows he will succeed, and our best wishes go with him.

Seldom do we see him un- less he is laughing or pulling off one of his boyish pranks. Many times we ourselves were the butt of his innocent pranks. However, we know it was all in fun and we forgive him for it. He never led his class in the scho- lastic standing but never was near the foot of it either. “Tony” says he is going to work after his school days are ended. We say “Good Luck” from ' 38. Jank St. Clair College Course History Circle: Interclass Dramatics j; Senior Play; A. A. Gay, vivacious, happy-go-lucky Jane entered our class in her Junior year coming from Pennsylvania.

Her versatility is amazing in dramatics, far from the demure, innocent girl, she switches to a sophis- ticated actress with ease. She rakes up testimonials every quarter, despite the fact that she always seems to be just having a good time. Because of her many accomplishments, and because she is determined to get what she goes after, we know that Janie will succeed in anything she decides to do, and we wish her all the luck in the world.

That’s Marjorie Stevenson, better known to her friends as Marge. Marge is an ardent rooter for the C. H. S. football team and she has seldom missed a game. Her white sweater and flashy “C” have proven that. Marge is everyone’s friend; even the lower classmen, and she is a grand pal. Ask her friend Millie.

If there is any kind of a sport going on, you can expect her there watching or playing. We see her at all the High School socials and she always appears to be having a good time. Phyllis has chosen nursing as her profession, and we wish her im- measurable success.

Lately we have seen John going through the latest dances at our socials, the “Big Apple” beig his specialty for informal gatherings. He was termed by Miss Kerrigan as, The Man of Ideas.

She attends strictly to her own affairs, and it is seldom that the boys were blessed with her smile. Maybe she considers us too young. An active worker on our school paper, she is one of the main reasons for its success. Florence intends to make a Business School her next stop, and then we suppose the business world will claim her.

Our English teacher, Mr. Gordon, says that a gentleman never makes those people around him uncomfortable, and John lives up to this rule, in all particulars. His name can always be found on the testimonial list. Although very good in mathematics, he likes languages, especially French. A studious lad, but also a great lover of sports, being especially interested in basket- ball, football and hockey.

His prac- tical joking is always a source of merriment to his many friends. He is one of those fellows well-liked by everyone. As a guard on our triumphant foot- ball team for the last year, John distinguished himself by snappy and hard hitting playing. Stan may be seen almost any recess near the armory talking with his friends. What about? Well, we don’t know, but we can guess. Stan plans to enter some Business College after leaving Clinton High and we wish him all the success in the world.

Perhaps she could give us a good reason for her usual tardiness if she wanted to. Bernie is one of our most popular girls, and because of her pleasing personality, she has won many friends during her four years with us. She is an excellent dancer, as was proven at the Thanksgiving Show. Her fondness for sports brings her to all football, baseball, and basketball games, and you should hear her “root” for the teams.

John Williamson Stanley Zadroga Bernice Zyngota 53 1938 as Freshmen 1 lave you ever seen the picture ol a young bo standing outside a gaily decorated win- dow looking in upon the older people having the time of their lives. : Well, that is the picture of us when wc were lowly Freshmen who had just started upon our High School careers. W’e were just a crowd of kids and watched with envious eyes the upper classmen as they took the school routine in a philo- sophical manner. One look at the picture will show you the self-conscious, shy retiring looks upon our shining laces. Many of our future Beau Brummels and Don Juans arc- looking pretty white around the gills. How we did grow up in four years! Now let ' s look back upon any memories we may have ol that year. There is one- memory that will always he with us. Who ol us can forget that night, when tucked in our trundle-beds, we heard the noisy bel- lowing of the fire alarm and awoke the next morning only to be told that our beloved school was no more. Some ol us, the hard ol heart, even went that night to watch the flames heap destruction upon Clinton ' s seat ol learning. Another achievement, and one which we shall always look back upon with pride, is that we laid the foundation tor what is now part ol Clinton 1 ligh ' s athletic activ- ities. That is, the Freshmen-Sophomore ath- letic teams. This had never been tried be- fore so that year was more in the nature of an experiment than anything else. It was just the Freshmen then. The next year it branched out to include both underclasses. Well do we remember the long afternoons spent on Company Field. We had very few bats and balls. We played only a few games that year, and we had no such uniforms as they have now. In years to come when Freshmen-Sophomore teams are winning re- nown in all the phases of sport, it should well be remembered that the Class ol ' 38 was the first such team. And so wc finished our Freshmen year. We probably didn ' t accomplish a great deal but we looked forward with enthusiasm to our Sophomore year. Classes will come and classes will go in the old High School, but we doubt if any other Junior class will ever be able to register such a prize-winning year as did the class of ’38. It is in a proud and not egotistical manner that we point to our successes that year. You have only to look upon our record to prove that we should he proud of it. Before delving into the records to muster the achievements, let us note the result of the class election and those into whose hands we placed the honor and the responsibility of guiding us through that memorable year. We chose Walter O’Malley, President; Delores Salmon, Vice- President; Mary O’Toole, Secretary; and Earle Russell, Treasurer. Never before was there witnessed the hurly-burly that preceded this election. Almost every popular boy in the class had thrown his hat into the ring for President or Treasurer. However, Walter and Earle proved themselves to be the better politicians and won the contests. Now let us search through the musty files and view the events of our Junior year. Scarcely had we established ourselves in school than we walked off with our first honors, and walked is the word. Remember the St. Mihiels Day pa- rade? In competition with the other classes we were voted the best appearing class in the line of march and for our efforts were awarded a silver loving cup. 1 he mid-years were taken in the customary manner, and then came the second milestone on our road to success. About Easter time the Inter-class dramatics began to be talked about. Of course, it was unheard oi that anyone but the Seniors would win. And perhaps they didn’t let us know that! Resolved that nothing would daunt us, we set to work with an effort to show up their boasting. And show them up we did. For when the smoke of the bat- tle had cleared away, it was once more the “class of ’38” on top. There, competition ended for the year. But we still had one more trick left. We decided that our Junior Prom would be different this year, so we inaugurated a new ceremony for our Junior Prom, namely the handing over of caps and gowns by the Senior Class Officers to the Junior Officers. This is a precedent that un- doubtedly will be continued for many years to come at Junior Proms. And so ended a grand and glorious year. As we said before, it is doubtful if any other Junior class ever reached the heights reached by us. We the Class of ’38 shall always remember with pride our accomplishments while in our Junior Year. 1938 as Juniors ATHLETICS Football All hail to the Midland League Football champions ol 1938. Once more Clinton High has been placed back in the football lime- light by a real good team that won 7 out ot 9 games, and the pennant of the league. For several years we had fought tor a pen- nant, and tor several years we had gone unre- warded. It wasn ' t that the other teams were not good this year, but just that they did not possess that certain quality that stamps one as a champion. It remained for our stellar team to once more bring the wreath of victory down upon our humble heads. Coach Joe McCaffrey and Clinton I ligh School can well be proud to call such a team its own. This was a team that did not know the meaning of gi e up. There were a couple of games when they received a real beating, but like the potential champions that they were, with indomitable courage, they came back from defeat to sup the cooling drink of victory. I here were long afternoons on the practice field when the outlook was pretty bleak, in- juries riddled the ranks, but they went out the next Saturday to fight harder and to win. until finally they fought their glorious battle lor the pennant when they defeated Maynard on Thanksgiving Day, on a frost-hardened field. Who can forget their gallant sportsman- ship and never-give-up attitude even in de- feat against their vaunted rival, Leominster? No one hated to lose more than they, but they did it in a manner that merited praise from all corners. Whether they won or lost they were always good sports. Led by the Co-captains, “Babe” Weihn and “hd ' McNamara, the team was one of the strongest in the state, the line was the best in the county, and the backfield could hold its ow n with any and all comers. The fine fighting spirit of the line certainly was a credit to “Jim Carrity, the line coach. Never yielding a yard and a lighting, hard hitting bunch of boys on the offense, they were the thorns in the side of the opposing teams. In the backfield, “Wat, the flashy, galloping ghost who led the scorers, showed his oppo- nents how the backfield should be played. But no credit should be taken away from his 58 fellow backs who cleared the way and made many of his touchdowns possible. They were all responsible for the success of the season, and credit is due to each and everyone from the first stringers down to the shock-troops. Two weeks before the first game, the prospects looked pretty dark for the local team. The graduation of the previous year had wreaked havoc with the first team. However, the boys knew what they were up against and they went at their work with a vigor and enthusiasm that was a credit to them. But in spite of their gameness, they took it squarely on the chin when they travelled to Gardner for their first game. They battled all the way but a better Gardner team rolled up 25 points while holding them scoreless. Such a defeat on o pening day would have broken the spirits of some teams, but not Clinton. The next week they jour- neyed to Marlboro for their first Midland League game. Marlboro was unusually strong during the first half of the season but the way in which the green and gold went to town told the story early in the game. Aided and abetted by the great open field running of “Walt O ' Malley, and the great play of the line, Clinton crashed out a 38-6 victory over Marlboro. After tasting blood, the team was not to be stopped. Wes Burton turned out to be the hero in the next game as Clinton took their first home game of the season on Fuller field from Bartlett High of Webster by a 20-7 count. Next on the victim list was our chief Midland League rival. Proud and haughty Hudson High came to Fuller field the following week only to taste the sour gall that Clinton was handling out in the name of a defeat. And so proud Hudson was humbled by a score of 20-0, the same score by which Clinton had tasted a defeat the previous year. After the rousing games won by the local boys, they were forced to taste their second and last defeat of the season. This was against the Blue and Whites of Leominster in a game played at Doyle Field. The boys need not feel disgraced, however, for they put up a grand game, fought their hardest — played their cleanest. The score 19-0 was no indication of the tightness of the battle. This game witnessed the first serious accident to a Clinton player, when plucky Vance Raynsford hit the earth on the first play in which he took part, and received a fracture of the ankle. Later on, in the May- nard game, Walter O’Malley prosed to be the only other casualty of the season when he had to be removed from the line because of a strained muscle. Clinton bounced back from the Leominster game to trim the Mary E. Wells High of Southbridge in their own back yard by the top heavy score of 32-0. In a game played in rain, slush, and mud on Fuller field the next Saturday, Clinton downed a fighting Athol High team 22-0. Milford and Maynard — two Midland League games came next. Milford went down to a 13-0 defeat in a game played in Milford; and in the annual turkey day battle at Fuller field, Clinton copped the Midland League pennant by defeating Maynard 13-7. Clinton ' s record of 4 victories and no defeats led the Midland League. The power of its attack is attested by the fact that Clinton rolled up 158 points to their opponent’s 64. It was a truly great team; a team to be proud of, every game being fought hard, but cleanly. There were no “alibis , no regrets. We con- gratulate our opponents on their w ' onderful sportsmanship, and we sincerely hope that next year ' s team can carry the torch of vic- tory in the supreme manner in which the team of ' 38 did. The members of the team were: R. O’Malley, Burton, Bednarczyk, E. McNa- mara, Weihn, Co-Capt; W. O ' Malley, Under- wood, McGee, R. McNamara, Despotopulos, Reardon, Maberry, Kartalos, Cwiazda, Bat- tista, Zadroga, Bradley, Alack, Duvarney, Noon, Mitchell, McKnight, AlcRell, Culliton, Gosselin, K. Raynsford, Nugent, Agnetti, Leonard, Salmon, V. Raynsford, Connelly, Donnelly, and John Kilcoyne. 59 mm Mfn ' v ; • ' 1 : r 0l 1 ‘ ■ c” ' ' • T1 ' ' c v v ' :v v ' , “ “T V Nj5� , w y i if V Nr ° WNroi iW 0 ' Hr ° - - J 4r ’ -- - 4 W ' t 1 Baseoali In the spring a young man’s fancy turns to — baseball. So it was a joyful and cheerful day when candidates were called out lor the varsity team oi “38. About 40 aspiring youngsters reported — about 20 remained. Many veterans had been lost through gradua- tion so Coach McCaffrey had quite some job on his hands to round out a balanced team lor the hrst game three weeks hence. It was Irom the same group ot lighting, hustling youngsters that made the lootball and basket- ball seasons the success that they were, that he had to make his choices. Opposition was unusually tough this year, not only from Midland League rivals but also from outside schools. However, the local team played great ball, and when they played, the game was never over until the last put out was made. As was evidenced in football they were lighters and they did not admit defeat. The Class ot “38 has an unusually large rep- resentation on this years team. No less than 14 out of a squad of 22 are due to graduate in June. Fran Laverdure, shortstop captain leads the group. Fran is a hustling type of ball player. He is small in stature, but makes up lor this with his pep and great all-around playing. “Babe Weihn and Ed McNamara, lootball co-captains are members of the nine as well as the eleven. “Babe” takes care of the catching post and the home run department. A big, strapping boy, he leads the batters in the hitting averages. I.d is a member of the mound stall, and although a victim of a wild streak early in the season he rounded into lorm in time lor the big game. Four other 60 seniors help make up the mound corps; Tom Kartalos, “Dob” Joyce, and “Zotts () Malley. Each possesses remarkable control and courage in the face of odds. Walter, because of his hit- ting ability, is sometimes used as an out- fielder when not pitching. In the infield there is a senior at each position. John Kil- coyne has been the mainstay at first for the last three years. Charlie Gravel at second, Fran Laverdure at short and Duke Duvarney at third with John Augis and Jack McGrail as utility men, round out the senior infield. This is a smooth working combination which packs plenty of power and hitting punch. Plenty of Seniors are also members of the 1933 outfield. Stan Zadroga, and A1 Marangoni who reported as a catcher, are seeing much action as fielders because of their ability to come through in the pinch. This is an im- pressive list for one class to have on the var- sity team. All are good team players, can hit and field in the best of company and are all true sportsmen. The Class of ’38 is proud of her athletes as well she should be. The re- maining members of the team are scattered among the other three classes. The Junior Class has Ray McNamara in the outfield, Fran O ' Toole catcher, Joe Brescia pitcher and outfielder, and Bill Macora pitcher. The Sophomores boast of Bud Leonard and George Latinen outfielders; and the Freshmen come out with Steve Stuka second baseman and “Hinky” Horne first baseman. Besides being actively engaged in Midland League competition, Clinton has hooked games with outside schools. The M idland League schedule includes home and home games with Milford, Marlboro, Maynard and Hudson. Other games are listed with Town- send, Southbridge, and Leominster. As was previously stated opposition has proven to be increasingly strong this year, particularly in the Midland League. However, as always Clinton can be relied upon to give it the old Clinton try. They feel that whatever is worth doing is worth doing well, and as a result, they always go out fighting, win, lose, or draw. This is a quality prevalent in every McCaffrey coached team, that has been recognized and commented upon by many of the sports enthusiasts of the state. This is a wonderful tribute to a grand coach, and Clinton is indeed as proud of her coach as she is of his teams. He has directed athletics at the school for many years and always suc- cessfully. This year ' s team is no exception. It may not win all its games, but it is sure to be a credit to our school and town. We trust that next year’s team will uphold the same tradition of hard clean fighting. This is the last competitive high school sport for us. In another few weeks our High School days will be at an end. We have done our best on the athletic field and have learned the lessons that it teaches, determination and the will to win. 61 Basketball It ' s a tar cry irotn football to basketball anti the style of playing the two sports varies greatly. So it is very seldom that you see football players making a success in the hoop game. But the athletes .it Clinton 1 ligh School arc very versatile, and so there was not much surprise registered when the basketball team added to the athletic laurels already won lor the school. The team finished its best season in quite a number of years winning X out of 1 1 games played and topping olT the season by being invited to play in the Springfield tournament, one of eight teams selected, lor the Western Massachusetts Championship. The 1 act that they failed to win this Tournament was not lack of effort, hut rather the high grade ol competition offered by the western teams. I.ven m being defeated, they went down fighting, battling a much stronger West Springfield 1 ligh team to the last minute of the game, and even leading the “Westerners at one stage of the battle. Springfield sport writers commented upon the aggressiveness and the cold determination that made up the Clinton team. It was on the strength ol its record that Clinton was chosen and surely not many teams can boast ol such a record. Winning eight games and dropping only three while playing such major opponents as Leominster and Becker ' s is a record to be proud ol. Capt. John Kilcoyne showed the boys how it should be done by leading the individual scorers with 141 points scored. The greatness of his accomplishment is shown by the fact that his nearest rival lor the honor was Joe O’Malley who scored 44 points. Capt. Kil- coyne proved to be the sparkplug ol the team, and was rewarded lor his efforts by winning places on several all-county fives. Walt O ' Malley and 1 1 a 1 Mason also made their presence lelt, Walter ringing up 42 points and Mason playing a stellar game at guard. This also proved to be a Senior team with nine of the fifteen players due to graduate in June. It was beyond any doubt a senior 62 year in athletics, for besides the four already mentioned, the following names arc on the Senior list: Art Rose, Ed Naughton, Ed Me Namara. Ed Mack, and John Williamson. H. O’Malley, Fran O ' Toole, F. Bednarczyk, and Ray McNamara are Juniors, and Cush- man Philips and Ed. Kilcoyne come from the Sophomore and Freshman class respectively. This was a great collection of ball tossers and their record is a true indication as to their ability to win. They played hard basketball every moment and brought new honors to themselves, their team and their school. It wasn’t until after the holly wreath of Christmas had disappeared from windows that the hoop season was started at the Armory. This delayed the making of the schedule and all general preparations for a while. However, on January 7 of the new year, they started their season with a great 33-23 win over the Alumni. Capt. Kilcoyne led the scorers in this game, closely followed by Walt O’Malley. Of course this game is most always considered a practice game, so it wasn’t until they met the Becker J. V.’s that the faults of the team were disclosed. In a game also played on the Armory surface the business boys took Clinton over the hurdles to the tune of 23-15. It was again the Captain who led the scorers but the play of the team and of himself was a bit off color. For a while it looked as if it would stay off color as Leomisster, paced by its star, Jack Letters, swamped the green and gold 44-24. But revenge was to come and it’s sweeter when it takes time in coming. Shrewsbury proved to be the release from the depths as Clinton sank them 27-23 on the Armory floor the following week. Marlboro was hard to down and it wasn’t until the dying moments ol the game that Clinton won 25-23 in Marlboro. Shrewsbury buried the local lads in the game at Shrewsbury the fol- lowing week 27-15. However, here Clinton took another breath and was off to the races. Templeton proved to be a soft touch, going down to defeat 30-19 at Templeton. This was the game when the lights suddenly went on strike. There are still some dandy stories floating around about that night. Marlboro came to Clinton the next week to once more accept defeat this time 23-19. And then came revenge. The Blue and Whites of Leomin ster proudly came to Clinton and watched a spirited Clinton team run wild and ring up a smashing 39-16 victory. It is seldom we can gloat over a win from Charley Broderick’s boys, but this time the men of McCaffrey had the last laugh. An inspired team journeyed to Worcester the following week and defeated the Becker J. V.’s 29-28 when Capt. John hooked a shot from the middle of the court in the last ten seconds of play. It’s as close as they come, but the boys proved equal to the challenge. The Alumni played a return game as the closing game of the year, but didn ' t have any more luck than previously, going down 24 to 13. And so another glo- rious year goes down in the athletic records of Clinton High School. The games at Springfield w ' hen the local forces were beaten 43-23 and 56-28 by West Springfield High were fine games but lost to more experienced rivals. Once more the team had no alibis or regrets for they played their best. However, they will always be remembered for the great playing and their wonderful record. The Class of “38” will always remember them and so will the school. 63 ACTIVITIES Farly in February Mr. O ' Toole made a long anticipated announcement and the 38 1 listorv Circle was organized. At the hrst meeting, held in Room 8, the following candidates were elected: John Kil- covne. President; Alice Russell, Secretary; and Gerald Flynn. Treasurer. Many merry afternoons were spent under the History Circle Banner. N ' o one can re- member a meeting that was not intriguing and hilarious, with mock trials and many interesting and educational lectures, one ot the most enjoyable being delivered at the Holder Memorial by Mr. Dunn, the Curator. I le told us a few humorous and exciting in- cidents in Clinton ' s past and gave a vivid description of lite in early Clinton, with perti- nent facts ot Clinton ' s 1 1 i story which the Historical Society had collected. After his History Circle interesting lecture he showed us many ol the letters and other objects ot which he had spoken. When, at last, the day of days for the 1 listory Circle came, it greeted us with a clear blue sky, and sparkling sunshine, a per- tect setting tor our trip to Provincetown. Shortly before 10 o ' clock, after a pleasant bus ride from the High School, we arrived at Long Wharf. We boarded the ship laden with box lunches, for it was reported that sea breezes make appetites bigger and better. Steaming out of Boston 1 larbor we had great tun trying to identity and point out all the note-worthy land marks. When we tired of this there were dancing and deck games to be enjoyed. Provincetown appeared on the horizon about 2 o’clock, and after having a late dinner we wandered through the quaint, narrow streets, visited the art exhibits and explored the other wharves. The time passed so quickly that before we realized it the hour ol departure was upon us, so we promptly hastened to the ship and a few minutes later were watching Provincetown fade into the blue Atlantic. I he trip back to Boston was most enjoy able, tor the sea was calm, and then too, we all had exciting experiences to tell about, and sunburns to admire. As we docked, we saw ' busses awaiting our return and soon we were homeward bound. When we reached Clinton everyone was still talking a-milc-a-minutc, and that is a definite proof of the grand time enjoyed by all. 66 Shortly before the inevitable Midyears, the French Club held its first meeting. The Club, composed of pupils taking French IV, under the able direction of Miss Kerrigan, was formed for the purpose of being instructive as well as social. At our first meeting we elected the following officers: President, John Mitchell; Vice-President, Audrey Gar- ber; Secretary, Delphine Vattes; Treasurer, William Moulton. Thomas Duffy was made the official bouncer. All the meetings were conducted in the musical French language. The president opened the meetings (in French of course) and the vice-president called the roll, the secretary ' s report was read, and the treasurer reported at each meeting. The business was discussed in English and then the president formally closed the meeting in French. We learned how to keep up a polite conver- sation in French. Stories were told and French cross-word puzzles worked out, much to the enjoyment of all. For all of this, most of us still can’t carry on fluent conversations in French, but we certainly had a grand time trying. Forfeits for tardiness or for failure to speak in French also proved very amusing for those who watched, although quite em- barrassing at times for the offender. Our one big social was our very successful dance which was held at Music Hall. This Le Cercle Francais dance, although strictly informal, was thor oughly enjoyed by those present. Early in May a great number of members went to Worcester to Clark University to an all- French program. The principal speaker, who was an exchange student from the Sorbonnc, gave a very amusing speech and then a play was presented in French, which was very cleverly done and which was more easily un- derstood than the speaker. The climax of the year was the banquet and our year’s strugg ' es with the romance language was well worth it after that. Pri- vate cars took the whole sixteen members to Seilers’ Ten Acres, the site of our final gathering, where we ate to our heart’s con- tent and then danced. We leave with Miss Kerrigan our heartfelt appreciation for her helpfulness and con- sideration. 67 “Manners Maketh the Man” The Tail Sigma is a club lor Senior boys, the purpose of which is to discuss social manners and customs, in order to give to our High School boss the smoothness and case of manner necessary to social success. The club was formed in December under the direction of Lewis S. Gordon, |r. of the Faculty, and a total ot sixty-seven boys en- rolled. William Kelly was chosen President and Thomas F. Grady, Secretary-Treasurer. Meetings consisted of talks by the director, and questions and answers by the group. Tau Sigma received an opportunity to show its value outside ot the school when the committee in charge of the Weeks’ Lec- tures requested several ot the members to usher at the concert given by the Russian Quartet. The club sponsored successfully a benefit movie through the courtesy ot the Strand Theatre, and thereby earned a sufficient sum to supply each member with the silver club pin. A talent night entertainment was pre- Tau Sigma sen ted with the picture. John Kilcoyne acted efficiently as Master of ceremonies and the program included organ music by Kimball Raynsford; guitar and harmonica selections by Fred Ramig and Edward Lemkc; a song by a guest star, Alice Russell; and an amusing playlet ot the “Gay Nineties,” The Un- willing Bride cleverly presented by William Moulton as the father, Jane St. Clair, another girl guest star, as the bride, Walter O’Mal- ley as the suitor, John O’Toole as the villain. We had two especially good pictures also. “Navy Blue and Gold” and Manhattan Merry go-round.” The results of the organization are most gratifying, Boys of high school age are beyond any doubt uncultured. This is not their own lault, but the lack of proper train- ing. Therefore, when they go to college the conduct of these boys is not becoming to them. For this purpose, the Tau Sigma stresses manners and culture. From different centers in the last few years have come com- pliments to our Principal’s office on the type of fellow Clinton High School is graduating. While the Tau Sigma does not claim all the credit, it is lieyond any doubt the cause of the change of opinion about Clinton gra- duates. The interest shown by the boys is complimentary to them and shows that they are interested in something else besides the baser things that form a young man’s life. The activities lor the year will close during Senior week when the club conducts a num- ber of social functions. Much praise is due to Mr. (Jordon for his unceasing efforts in promoting refinement and culture among the students. ( H The Bulletin Board Notice: “The Bulletin Board will be on sale at recess in the library and in the teacher’s room next to the office.” Such is the notice that makes its appearance about once a month when the new edition of the Bulletin Board is ready for sale. When the recess bell rings, there follows a wild rush for the library or the teacher’s room. This rush is usually large in force but insufficient in num- bers which is another way of saying that the Bulletin Board is not a wealthy publication. This is also due to the small price of the paper. It is, I think, a source of enjoyment to most of its readers because those that have papers usually try to put one eye to advan- tage perusing them during the following periods. When someone sees his or her name mentioned in one of its various columns, even though the reference may not be justi- fiable, it satisfies his vanity. The Bulletin Board has been mimeographed now for two years. Before that, it was printed professionally. The staff consists of an editor- in-chief, a managing and feature editor, and typists. There is really a great deal of work involved in getting out a paper and trying to make it interesting. The copy, of course, has to be assembled, mimeographed, and then the paper has to be assembled. When the paper is all finished, there comes the problem of selling it. The paper usually breaks even, and what may be gained in one issue is turned back into supplies and equip- ment. One of the most difficult tasks is as- sembling material for the paper. Because of the slow process in putting out the paper, current gossip, which is strong in its appeal is limited. Therefore, the staff has to resort to more conventional material which will also prove interesting. In spite of the odds, the resulting edition is always a popular topic of discussion after its production. We feel that we can be proud that our High School has maintained such an enter- taining publication in the past few years. Most schools have splendid orchestras, efficient supervisors and cooperative students who have made their respective orchestras known throughout the county. Our school has the musical ability and the willingness to promote its ability, but un- fortunately it cannot face the expenditures — that would arise. We have only one music teacher, who, well trained in music, has done miracles with the small orchestra we now have and the students who sing at graduation. Although our orchestra is small it is very well organized, its members having taken les- sons from private tutors. What such an en- semble lacked in balance of instruments was made up by the enthusiasm and musical ability of its members. About two months before graduation, this most exclusive and enjoyable of our clubs was formed. It was fascinating to note how the curious cacophony gradually evolved into harmony. Much credit and appreciation is due Miss Driscoll lor her super human patience and skill in forming such an excellent orchestra from this heterogeneous group. Although talent was not lacking, the instruments were ill assorted and some of the younger mem- bers were sadly in need of further training. 1938 Orchestra Graduation began with a processional of the graduates to The Coronation March”, from The Prophet. The versatility of the orchestra was taxed by the variety of the numbers, singing from the heavy Wagnerian style of “Tannhauser” and the full harmony of Dvorak ' s Symphony to the light Viennese Swing of “Vilia . Ann Cobb, a versatile member, proficient at both piano and violins; Frederick Schnei- der behind the horn, responsible lor those high, clear notes; John Toner, (after a few weeks as an apprentice) a full fledged drum- mer on graduation night; Fred Ramig, a gui- tarist who can swing anything and usually sw ings everything; John McNamara, who has served the Seniors faithfully with his violin since his Freshman year; Joseph Czarnecki, a violinist of skill with the unfortunate habit of breaking his instrument; John Kil- coyne, an unusually talented violinist, with much orchestral experience and a flare for both swing and the classics; and last, but lar from least, Kimball Raynstord, a pianist ol exceptional ability, one of the best Clinton I figh has ever had. I he success of our Commencement exer- cises is dependent largely upon the singing ability of the graduation class, which we are glad to say without the least bit of exaggera- tion is one of the best. Due to the efforts of our singing teacher, Miss Driscoll, the sing- ing was easily mastered by the students. The choral numbers were selected for the enjoy- ment of our parents and friends. We are confident that the graduating class of 1 ‘ 38 is to be long remembered for all who have the pleasure of witnessing it. 70 Notice: “All members of the History Circle who would like to audition for a radio pro- gram, report to Mr. O Toole, Room 5, at 2:30 this afternoon.” Out of the number that tried out eight were chosen to make their debut on May 10 over station WORC in W orcester. What an exciting day that was. The cast and almost fifty other students met at the high school to go to Worcester. The program was in commemoration of National Air Mail week which happened to be that week. Arriving at the “broadcasting house’ rather early we were permitted to wander about and explore the place. Several of the boys found the control room and had a very interesting time learning what goes on and why. The program opened with the members singing the state anthem “Massachusetts’ ac- companied by our own pianist Kimball Raynsford. Then the cast presented a play entitled “The Flight of a Postage Stamp written by Robert Oliver espe cially for our production. The Narrator, John O’Toole, made the introductions necessary and then the action started. The story concerned a young man (John Kilcoyne) who had ne- glected to write home and whose mother was now very sick. He wanted his letter to get there immediately. The postmaster (William Moulton) told him that if he sent the letter air-mail it would get there faster. The scene History Circle Broadcast changed to the airport and the pilot (Russell Murdy) discussed the contents of letters with Eddie (Earl Russell). The plane took off and the scene changed to a conversation be tween the doctor (John Toner) and the nurse (Lois Stone) about the condition of the boy’s mother (Jane St. Claire). While talking it over the letter arrived by air-mail and the mother improved immediately. The program closed with the singing of “Massachusetts ’ again. Miss Jane St. Claire rece ived the credit for the best performance. Now for the atmosphere. The room from which the broadcast was held had soft green walls and green drapes. It was filled with chairs, a piano, and of course a microphone. There was a clock on one wall and a red light under the clock which went on when you went on the air. The experience was very thrilling and greatly enjoyed by everyone. 71 3M FEATURES ( )ur hrst proud attempt at Interclass Dra matics was What an Act , ably directed by Miss Annie Harris. The plot concerns a group of 1 ligh School students who have formed a Dramatic Club. Martie, the hostess of this particular meeting has proposed giving a newcomer at school, Mary Stevens, a try- out to determine her acting ability and pos- sibly make her a member oi the Club. Lois Stone gave much of her own pleasing person- ality to the part oi Martie, making it com- pletelv successful, while Mary Stevens was portrayed w ith much versatility and poise by Ann Cobh. Richard Fuller presented a con- vincing Peter, president ol this club, who be- lieves Mary has no talent at all. The other members oi the club, Harriet, Olive llohl; Jim, John Oihbons; and Ted, Jerome Costello bubble over with a gay cross lire ol quips and conversation which added much hie and lilt to tlie play. Though they too have doubts about Mary ' s skill they are all lor trying her out. Peter greets Mary coolly when she arrives but, to relieve the situation Martie mentions lur father’s valuable collection oi old coins which is in a box on the table. Mary seems interested and while the others go out to the kitchen lor orangeade she looks at it curi- ously lor a moment then joins them. Later Mary enters the empty room, goes quickly to the table, seizes the box ol coins, and attempts to lease, hut Peter confronts her and angrily calls her a common thief. She breaks down and tells him that both her mother and father had run against the law, her father having been shot down and her mother is now serving time. Her aunt is only keeping her for the work she can do. Mary ' s plan was to steal the coins and be through with in- sults and accusations. Peter promises he will not mention the incident d she will try to go straight . He expresses a desire to see the coins which have caused so much trouble but on opening the box finds it is empty. Martie and the others who had been watching from the door now burst into the room and there is much contusion till Martie explains that Mary is not a thief; her own lather never had a coin collection and that the whole de- ception was planned to prove Mary could act. Freshman Inter-Class 74 1937 Junior Prom All clay long that memorable June 25, excited Juniors soon to be sophisticated Seni- ors, rushed in and out of the Town Hall. Late in the afternoon a group of weary and disheveled girls, having completed the final arrangements, left the hall. When they re- turned that evening, adorned in gay prints, sheer chiffons, and all sorts of colorful eve- ning dresses, accompanied by their escorts garbed in white flannels, they realized that their patience had been fully compensated. The orchestra occupied the stage which was decorated to represent a garden. A white trellis-like fence surrounded George LaBarre’s men. This fence was entwined with climbing roses. In the middle of the stage an archway which was literally drip- ping with purple wistaria, w as placed. A row of colorful Japanese lanterns was strung from one end of the stage to the other. Suspended in the air in the middle of the stage was a “crystal ball.” This ball was composed of many mirrors and when the hall lights were out, these mirrors reflected lights thrown on it and the whole hall looked as if the snow flakes had forgotten that it was a warm sum mer night. From the ceiling in the middle of the hall varied-colored streamers were hung, and a big bunch of balloons, which reminded one of grapes, seemed to hold up the streamers. There was a cozy corner which was very at tractive. The grand march at last. The President and Vice-President of the Senior Class led the march followed by the Treasurer and Secretary and then the Junior Class officers. First down the center of the hall by two ' s, four’s, eight’s, and finally sixteen’s. Then by eight’s and four’s. When the march came to this point, the Senior officers who were dressed in their caps and gowns, stopped and gave them over to the Junior officers. Very, very impressive. The Prom was a great success and as Seniors we looked forward eagerly to our last Prom. Sail Right In 1 his play, under the direction of Miss Kerrigan of the Faculty, took top honors in the Inter-Class Dramatics in our Junior year. The players acted their parts like profes- sionals and there was no doubt in the mind ot the audience as to who would win. Jane St. Clair, our top actress, performed, as usual, her very best. John Kilcoyne played the leading man and Jock did his stuff ' opposite Miss St. (flair. I he davenport scene had the audience in an uproar. Walter O ' Malley played the part ot a con- ceited tellow who was always bothering “Jock, who was very quiet and somewhat bashful. Lois Stone played the part of the sister of the house. She acted her part as a happy-go- lucky girl who loved sports. Fred Ramig, a new-comer to the stage, was the brother, and took off the part in great st le. Ibis being the first t ine bred was on the stage, he well deserved a great hand. Now that we introduced our actors let us give you a brief resume of the play. The first scene opens with Walter and John talking back to each other in a furious man- ner. Walter, very conceited and a year older than John is bragging about his exploits Junior Inter-Class with the opposite sex and does it in a very dashing manner. John, on the other hand, is very bored with him and first takes it all in. Walter predicts that he will take Jane to the Annual Dance when she arrives. This makes John, who is secretly interested in Jane, very angry. When Jane arrives, John introduces him- self and gets acquainted very easily, much to Walter ' s amazement. Walter arrives only to find that his supposedly best girl has been taken over by his brother. The events that follow prove to be very humorous as Jane spurns Walter in every way, sending him out of the room while she plays up to John. As a result, she accepts John ' s bid to the Prom and leaves Walter out in the cold, a sorry but chastened boy. This play proved to be the first entrance into the dramatic field of future stars in the Senior Class shows. 76 Just to prove that we did win the comped tion last year, our Senior cast walked oft with top honors once again. Winning the banner lor two years in succession is an ac- complishment seldom achieved. So it is a great honor for the class to be able to boast of this fete, and much praise is due those who helped bring the wreath of victory upon our heads. Our offering this year was “Sauce for the Goslings. As usual we placed the reins of coaching in the infallible hands of “Doc ' Gordon. In all fairness we congratulate the under classes for the excellent competition they offered us. The play concerned the attempts of learned, dignified parents of modern children, trying to show their offspring the crudity and silli- ness of their speech when they used slang. In order to do so, they themselves resort to slangy speech in front of their son ' s guest. The outcome is highly hi ' arious when Grand- mother plays up to the guest and tries to win him away from Elizabeth, the daughter; father tells stories about his college days; and mother does nothing to help the situation when she supplies some of her own phrases. Senior Inter-Class William Moulton played the part of Richard Taylor, the father, as only Bill can play it; Ruth Marquardt as Mrs. Taylor added that domestic touch; Ann Cobb as Mrs. Lee, the grandmother left nothing to be desired; Bill Kelly as William, and Dorothy Goulis as Eli- zabeth, the children, proved the hit of the evening; John Kilcoyne as James Ward, the college friend of Bill, looked and p ' ayed the part; and Marjorie Carville as the maid rounded out the excellent cast. John O ' Toole once more handled capably the position of stage manager. And so ended our ffigh School dramatics. The trail was short but it was blazed with glory. We hand down to the coming Senior class a victory torch, untarnished and worthy of upholding. Under the capable direction of Lewis S. Gordon, tire Senior Class hit a new high in ability to act. This show was pronounced by ever) person who saw it as the best they had seetr in years. E crv hoy and girl in the cast handled their parts like professionals. The storv is molded around Alan Tre- mayne ( John Kilcoyne) and his press agent Tom Garrity (William Kelley). The press agent, with all lus aggressiveness and talka- tive manner tries very hard to put his chum into the movies but encounters many diffi- culties which however end happily. Jarvis, (Wm. Moulton) plays the very diffi- cult role ot the butler, who tries to make a little money for himself on the side by taking Alan and Tom into the mansion while the owners are away on their vacation, with the ease and poise ol a veteran. John McGrail. the messenger boy, stole the show with his jokes and wisecracks with the daughter ot the house. Josie IAmbroke, the daughter ol the house is disguised as a maid in her own home and is secretly in love with Alan, who, after cpiitc a time discovers that site is not a maid. Princess Dolores, Josie’s dearest triend, is staying with Josie hiding Irom the Prince whom she has never seen, and has to marry. She thinks that Alan is the Prince hut it is discovered that l� art, the chauffeur turns out to be the real Prince and everything is all right. During all this, the wisecracking of Doreen Dawning, a movie actress, and Polly O ' Connor a comedy actress brings many laughs from the audience. Doreen is a sophisticated actress who has her eye on Alan and docs much to humiliate Josie, the maid. Meanwhile, Polly, a sort of happy-go-lucky lady and friend ol Josie’s, goes to work on Doreen and quickly settles everything. Sir 1 lumphrey, the Prince ' s guardian, does a splendid piece of acting as he tries to keep the Prince from getting into trouble. Rowena Montgomery, a newcomer, played the role ol the Mistress of the house superbly. Phyllis Dugannc, reporter of the “Movie” News portrays a typical woman reporter and does not “get her story until the end of the show. The show was a success financially as well as a credit to the school.
