GEORGE BODAH GENERAL COURSE Senior Dramatics, Hiatory Circle, Tau Sigma George, one of the shining lights of '39, was a frequent visitor to the neighboring town of Worcester where he became a noteworthy jitterbug. Without a doubt, he is the best male dancer in our class. Jumbo made his stage debut this winter in the Christmas Show and proved to be one of the stars of the play. Although he never pulled down the highest marks in the class, George always managed to get by. As yet George has not decided what he will do after graduation, but wherever he goes the best wishes of the class of '39 go with him. FRANCES BOWSER COMMERCIAL COURSE History Circle Frances is one of the tall, dignified seniors, dignified not in name only. One can not think of Frances without recalling her warmth and natural charm of manner. While she was never spoken to for deportment, neither was she a Prudy Prim. One of Frances' favorite amusements is the movies and many a bag of candy did she and her chum Rae consume while watching the antics of the stars. Fran is also an accomplished chauffeur, you notice we do not say driver, for a chauffeur is one who transports Others and Frances was always generous with her car. To you, Fran, go the best wishes of '39. PAUL BRADLEY COLLEGE COURSE History Circle, Tau Sigma, Senior Football Club, Photography Club In the classroom, a studentg outside, a pal, on the gridiron, a star. Though Clinton High may regret the loss of Paul Bradley, there are those who have met him in combat on the football field who are not anxious to renew such a meeting. We refer you to that Hudson High floodlight game for proof. When in a few years it becomes necessary to solve the problem of restoring destroyed forests, the government will be fortunate to be able to fall back on such a dependable person as Paul, who at that time, if present plans materialize, will be a distinguished graduate of the Syracuse University School of Forestry. JOSEPH BRESCIA COMMERCIAL COURSE History Circle Joe is one of the greatest athletes the Acre has yet produced. He played on the football team for two years and starred in baseball during his sophomore, junior, and senior years achieving an enviable record. Because of his arresting personality and dependability, Joe made many friends during his four years in C. H. S. He plans to further his education at Worcester Trade School, where we feel sure that he will make as great a name for himself on the athletic field and in the classroom as he did in C. H. S. Best wishes from the class of '39, Joe. JEAN COLLEGE COURSE History Circle A very pretty and familiar face is that of Jean Brett who came to us from Sterling in -her sophomore year. Jean has a pleasant word for everyone and is frequently seen studying at recess, which reminds us that The is in good standing with her teachers because she always knows her essons. Any bright sunnny afternoon Jean can be seen walking with her in- separable friends, Jean Crothers and Ella Day. Jean is planning to attend a school of Domestic Arts, and we wish her prosperity and success as she joins the ranks of the alumni. Best of luck, Jean. 16

CATHERINE BALL L COMMERCIAL COURSE History Circle Catherine is one of the most capable and likeable girls in our class. It can be safely said that she will never be lacking in loyal friends, because she is always willing to do her part in helping others. Don't let the above description give you the idea that Kay is a meek, prim, and quiet person. On the contrary, she can be, and very often is, just the opposite. She is a staunch supporter of all the activities C. H. S. undertakes. Catherine intends to further her education in a business school, and we know she will be successful in carving a career for herself. EVA BATTISTA COMMERCIAL COURSE History Circle, Bulletin Board, Jr. Prom. Comm. Eva is the girl with the lovely black hair, fine personality, and a smile that goes a long way. Because of this smile, she has won the admiration and friendship of all her classmates. With her keen interest in all school activities, and her many social obligations, she is always busy. Her favorite hobbies are roller skating and dancing. Though studying has no charms for Spec , she always manages to get a few testies each quarter. Spec intends to lend a ray of cheer to some secretarial school next year, and with a personality and disposition such as Spec's -need we say more? Best of luck, Eva ARTHUR BAUM GENERAL COURSE History Circle, Tau Sigma Ikey , although he has been with us for four years, still has as much joie de vivre as a freshman, perhaps because he is a senior in good standing. Although he never achieved a perfect attendance record, neither was he a regular member of Mr. Williamson's list of truants, at least he never served time . Arthur is also known as one of the best spit ball throwers in the school, Room 6 being his favorite battleground. Ikey's social life seems to center about the Burditt Hill section, but occasionally, his infectious smile and head of enviable straw-colored hair may be seen at the high school shows. Best of luck from '39. FLORIAN BEDNARDCYZK GENERAL Counsr History Circle, Tau Sigma Whitey is the Boake Carter of the class, talking being his favorite pastime, as we can testify. Ouchl My ears are burning. When he takes time out from exercising his vocabulary, Florian can be seen playing foot- ball or ski-jumping. Flo is by no means a testimonial pupil, yet he manages to get by with plenty to spare. The glad hand of Whitey is often extended to his classmates and in future days he hopes, as we all do, to succeed Mr. Roosevelt in the White House. Good luck, Florian, we hope you make it! MICHAEL BERRY GENERAL COURSE History Circle, Tau Sigma Michael is undoubtedly Clinton High's foremost Sir Isaac Walton. Al's love of field and stream is known to all his classmates, and it is not an uncommon sight to see him and his dog leisurely wending their way along the banks of the rivers and streams in Clinton's wooded sections. Al's fondness for the great outdoors sets the keynote for his per- sonality. He has a likeable voice and a wide infectious grin which his classe- mates will always remember. Marks never worried him because if he chose to apply himself to the task of learning a difficult lesson, the results were sure to be most favorable. Best of luck, Al, from '39. 15

KATHERINE BURGOYNE COMMERCIAL COURSE History Circle Katherine by her winning smile and delightful personality gained many friends among the undergraduates as well as in her own class. At first glance she may appear to be quiet and reserved, but she is jolly, always laughing, dependable, fond of sports, and always present at football games. Caddie's daily companions are Caddie Ball and Betty Gutman with whom she can be seen whispering about the corridors in the senior manner. She is a great lover of dancing and attends all our social functions. Kay plans to go to business school, and later become her dad's secre- tary, and we know she will be successful. DOROTHY MARGARET BURGWINKLE COMMERCIAL Counsa History Circle, Class Book Staff, Bulletin Board Staff, Prom. Committee Witty and gay, Dorothy has made a record for the coming classes. Everyone who knows her likes her. Her seemingly endless supply of anecdotes makes her a popular member of one of our foremost clubs, for wherever Dorothy is, there you will find laughter. The many books that passed through Winkie's hands never made a very profound impression, but she always walked smilingly into class and bravely faced the little red book. Mr. McSherry tells us that Dot actually cooked her experiments, and frequently addressed him as Mr. Chemistry. Good luck, Dot, the best wishcs of 39 go with you. ELSIE BURK COMMERCIAL COURSE History Circle, Clrlssbook Staff, Bulletin Board Staff, Prom Committee Now we come to one of the most friendly and light-hearted girls in our class. Elsie has an amiable disposition and a delightful sense of humour. Besides personality, Elsie has been endowed with beauty, brains, and artistic ability. She ranks among the highest in our class, excelling in the particularly difficult subject of Bookkeeping. She has a flair for drawing, a musical ear, and business ability. Despite all these activities, Elsie is never too busy to oblige anyone who makes a request of her. With her talents and charm of manner, Elsie should reach the pinnacle of success. EILEEN BURKE NORMAL Counss History Circle Whenever you hear loud and enthusiastic cheering at the Clinton High School football games, you may be sure Burkie is back of it all. The cheering section of many a game would have been an utter failure, if it had not been for her lively assistance. No matter what the difiiculty, one could always depend on Eileen to come through. To all who have come in contact with her, she has brought cheer and comradeship. Eileen would like to attend Forsyth in the Fall. where she might realize her ambition of becoming a dental hygienist. With her admirable qualities, we are more than confident of her success. CELIA BURTON COMMERCIAL CoURsE History Circle Celia is one of the most popular members of the Class of '39. She has won a large circle of friends because of her pleasing personality and un- usual pulchritude. Celia managed at least one testimonial each quarter, although she never stayed home and studied when something more amusing could be done. This charming young lady has become famous in our high school for her lovely clothes which she wears to such advantage. Celia plans to be a hairdresser and with her ability and charming perslonality she is bound to succeed, so we predict a very promising future for er. ' 17
