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.

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.

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

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

MARION CAMPBELL GENERAL COURSE History Circle Whenever we heard a gay laugh and a loud thumping on the stairs we knew it was Marion trying to beat the bell. Marion's advent was waited impatiently by many, for her generosity with her homework, particularly Algebra, was a byword. Marion was an ardent sports fan, more than willing to do her bit in cheering the home team. Marion plans to become a doctor and with her ability, initiative, and charming personality we know she will will accomplish her purpose. As she passes along the road to success, we wish her the best of luck. ANTONIO CARDOMONI COMMERCIAL COURSE History Circle, Tau Sigma Two reasons why Tony is so highly valued as a companion and class- mate are his quick wit and ready quips. It doesn't take long for Tony to make any grouch turn up the corners of his mouth and smile, for Tony easily sees the funny side of things. Tony confined his activities to sports and was always a popular member of Clinton High's teams. As an athlete he was noted for his complete co- operation and enthusiastic support. Tony has not made known any ambitions he may have, but he has qualities which will make him welcome anywhere. WINIFRED CASEY COLLEGE COURSE History Circle, Sophomore French Club, Class Book Staff Petite, pert, and pretty are the adjectives that best describe Winifred. A sunny disposition, a pleasing personality, and a jovial nature have won her scores of friends from mighty senior to lowly freshman. Win is the possessor of a charming speaking voice which, with her personality, helped her to attain parts in various shows. Win can trip the light fantastic with the best of the trippe1's and no social event is complete without her. Winifred hasn't quite decided what steps she will take toward her career, but whatever she does will be a credit to the class of '39, So we say, Best of luck, Win . MARY CASSIDY COLLEGE COURSE History Circle, Photography Club, S1'niorShoiu, Thanksgiving Revue 1, 4, Class ,Book Staff . Charming personality, artistic ability, and a constant smile have conspired to make Mary one of the most prominent and popular members of our class. A more appropriate introduction might have been, Intro- ducing the prima donna of our class, for Mary's beautiful voice has con- tributed largely to the success of all our shows, and her fine dramatic ability was displayed in our Senior Show. Talent and personality usually do not accompany each other, but not so in Mary's case, for her popularity is showp by the fact that she was elected Secretary of our sophomore class. We bid her farewell, with an assurance of success. JESSIE CHASE NORMAL Counsm History Circle Jessie hails from the so-called rural section of the town, Rigby Road. Her husky cheering voice is very active at the football games, for Jessie is an ardent follower of C. H. S. sports fnot to mention why.J In the corridors she is a sociable, yet quiet classmate, but socially she is very gay. Jessie was one of the talented members of our Junior Prom Committee, and has been active in all school activities. She hopes to enter Clinton Hospital to try her hand at nursing, and '39 wishes her all success in her chosen profession. 18
