And this is Geraldine, known to everyone, even our august teachers, as Gerry. Gerry is one of our most versatile classmates-Scouting, office work, class work, hiking, cycling, and that mysterious C. D. S. Club being some of her interests. One wonders how she managed to do so much in one day. Yet, she found time to take a prominent part in our Junior play, and we shall never forget Daisy of the Thanksgiving Revue. h Gerry has decided upon a future at the Katharine Gibbs School and Judging by the number of testies that follow her name, a brilliant career surely awaits her. ROY COLLINS COMMERCIAL Counsm History Circle, Tau Sigma Roy is a quiet boy with a pleasant smile and a winning way. Because of his engaging manner he has won himself a place of distinction among his classmates. Although he was never known to burn the midnight oil, he always managed to make the grade. Roy was interested in sports and school activities, but his rural life occupied him outside of school. However. whenever an evening affair was being conducted Roy would make his appearance after he had milked the cows, of course. As yet he hasn't any plans for the future, but whatever he undertakes, the class of '39 wishes him luck. JOHN CONNELLY COMMERCIAL Counsa Tau Sigma, History Circle, Football Club Naturally quiet and good natured, John has impressed us as a genial and jolly good fellow . When it comes to sports, who do you think could carry on a conversa- tion with a sports authority? Yes, that's right, none other than John. He has been active in high school sports for the past few years, being manager of the baseball, football, and basketball teams, and due to his interest and knowledge of them, we may, in days to come, see him as a sports authority. The Class of '39 wishes you the best of luck, John, in the unknown days that follow Commencement. JEAN CROTHERS GENERAL COURSE History Circle Jean, who is known for her incessant line of chatter, has a winning personality and a great many friends. Though she does not take an active part in school activities, she is always interested in our doings. Those attending Miss Greenwood's recitals have been fortunate enough to hear Jean's lovely soprano voice. Besides her cultural activities she is also very fond of sports indulging in tennis and swimming during the summer months. As far as we know. Jean has not made any plans for the futureg but we are sure that whatever she attempts to do, it will be done well. KIERAN CULLITON COLLEGE COURSE . History Circle, Tau Sigma, Class Book Staff The last of the Cullitons, Kieran is the wildest member of the whole class. He is as witty as Charlie McCarthy, as peppery as Mayor Kane of Woburn, and as intelligent as Joe Kennedy. It has been known that his pet love is-, guess what? Girls, of course, as he is quite a young Romeo. But all kidding aside, Gully is a real scholar, rattling off testimonials with no trouble at all. Next year it will be Harvard for this cut up, and his days of revelry will come to an end in favor of a long four years of study. Let's see you go to town, Kieran! 20

f . GEORGIA CHIAMIS COMMERCIAL COURSE History Circle Willing to help, eager to make friends, delightful to know-that's Georgia whose gay remarks enliven many a group. Georgie is also a wizard at composing poems and little ditties, which rouse our admiration, but which she modestly attributes to inspiration. We have often heard of the Three Musketeers but in this instance, it is the Four Musketeers, Poppy, Ethel, Mary, and Georgia being in- separable. Georgia's ambition is to become an efficient Stenog and we know she will be a success in her chosen field. Best wishes from the class of '39, Georgia.

The old adage of beautiful but dumb doesn't apply to Mary, who has always been one of the high ranking students of the class. Wherever Mary decides to go to continue her education, we know that she will become a great success. Best wishes from the class of '39 are yours, Mary. PHYLLIS CLEARY COMMERCIAL COURSE History Circle Phyllis is a pretty brunette, quiet, sweet, lady-like. Her picture will vouch for the adjective pretty, and a half hour in her company will vouch for the other characteristics. During her four years in Clinton High School, FeFe has very easily managed to keep in the social whirl and never lacked admirers. However, Phyllis seems to th1'ill more to military music than most of us for one of her many admirers is a cadet at West Point. Phyllis is interested in Stenography and plans to further her education along that line. As she leaves, the class of '39 wishes her all the luck in the world.

Because of his willingness to help others and his sense of humor, Jerry is one of the best liked boys in the class.

Ella always has a smile and a friendly word for everyone. She hails from the little town of Bolton, and goes back and forth daily. In her studies she is tops. It seems those good marks just come naturally to her. When she grows up , Ella wants to be an efficient secretary. We are sure she will succeed in this field, and if the good wishes of her classmates are of any help, she is a success already. CLAIRE DE BLOIS COMMERCIAL CoURsE History Circle A happy smile, and a laughing heart are two of the many lovable qualities that grace our Claire. Claire is a member of the C. D. S.

Though not over- whelmingly brilliant, Margie always managed to get along very well- and no one in Period E. U. S. History will ever forget her bluliing Mr. O'Toole, much to his dismay. Margie is active socially, no affair being complete without her. Margie can be seen with her constant P. P. breezing through town almost every night I Margie has not quite decided what path of life she will follow, but with her pleasing personality, wit, and ability, Margie can't help but succeed. RAYMOND DOBECK COMMERCIAL COURSE Tau Sigma, History Circle fTreas.j Student Council This year one more of the Germantown boys is leaving the portals of Clinton High. Ray Dobeck, although not a star athlete like his brother, Joe, was more active in the social affairs of the school, attending most of the school shows and dances. ' Ray spends most of his spare time working in a Germantown candy store or driving the family car around to make sure it doesn't get rusty. Now that the warm weather is setting in, you will be able to see Ray chasing a golf ball around Mountain View golf course where he can do the course in a few strokes over par. Good luck, Ray. 21
