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

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. Ronald Everett Duvarney Commercial Course History Circle; Tan Sigma; Football 4: Football Club; Prom. 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

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. John Austin Gibbons Commercial Course History Circle; Prom. Committee; Class Pool; Staff; Photography Club 2 John is one of the busiest students in High School, belonging to the above mentioned clubs, and working afternoons in Felix’s Hardware Store. 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. Alice Gardner Mary Gaughan Mae Gersch John Gibbons 27
