CARL DORFMAN GENERAL COURSE Tau Sigma, History Circle, Basketball Squad One of the strong silent men of the class is Carl Dorfman who can be seen at least twice a week purchasing a ticket to the Strand. Probably no pupil in the school takes his studies more seriously than Carl, but none the less he found time to be a real sharp shooter on the basketball team. Carl's quiet unassuming manner makes him something of a mystery man, but we've managed to learn that his chief ambition is to become a Certified Public Accountant. If he labors only half as hard in the future as he has to date, we are sure that he will achieve his goal. GEORGE DONNELLY COLLEGE COURSE Tau Sigma, History Circle, French Club, Orchestra, Bulletin Board, Class Book Staff, Sr. Show, Sr. Inter-Class, Prom. Committee, Sophomore French Club George is one of the leading musicians and actors of this class. He has given proof of his talent as a musician and an actor in almost every high school show produced during his four years at C. H. S. He has even organized his own orchestra, the well-known Melodiers. Everyone is impressed with his pleasing personality and business-like manner. George is planning to attend the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston where we are sure his natural talents and diligence will insure his success. The entire class of 1939 sincerely wishes him the best of luck. MARY DOWD COLLEGE COURSE History Circle, French Club, Bulletin Board Mary, the little girl with the big smile, may be one of the tiniest in the class of '39, but she is also the possessor of an unusually sunny disposition. Mary was very quiet during her first three years at Clinton High, but in her senior year she decided to let everyone know she was around. Mary is the object of a great deal of envy both because of her testi- monial rating and her popularity. She plans to go to Northeastern Uni- versity and we are sure that a C0-ed institution is just the place for her. Good luck, Mary! EDWARD DUCHNOWSKI . GENERAL COURSE History Circle Introducing one of our quiet and serious students, Eddie, who manages to uphold his scholastic standing, in spite of the fact that his many extra- curricular activities take up most of his time. Although interested in sports more than social events, Eddie was unable to take an active part in athletics because of his clerking at a local grocery store. For the future Eddie's interests are wholly centered in the business field. His quiet charm of manner, his perseverance and practical experience undoubtedly will enable him to attain success. Good luck and best wishes from '39, Eddie. MARGARET MARY DUFFY NORMAL COURSE History Circle, Class Book Staff . Margaret appears to be rather a quiet girl, but when you know her your opinion will change. Don't be deceived if you see her only in class, for she is not always so demure. Margaret has a capacity for diligent study, is a conscientious student, and has developed a certain quiet assurance. Us there any quality lacking to make the ideal young lady?J Duff is a true friend, an excellent.student, and a good sport, and the class of '39 wishes her the best of luck in her chosen profession- that of a Beauty Expert. 22

1 ELLA DAY ' COMMERCIAL Couasa History Circle Ella is favored by a so-called sunshine personality , for she is one of the cheeriest girls of our 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. Club, and although she is always on the testimonial list she is never unable to enjoy the many social activities of her club and school. Claire entered this great institution of learning with the idea of be- coming an able secretary for some deserving business man and she is now nearing that goal. We wish Claire happiness and know she will be a success in her chosen profession. . PHYLLIS DICKSON COLLEGE Coimsr: History Circle, French Club, Varsity Basketball, Junior Prom. Committee, Class Book Staff, Bulletin Board Stab' We come now to Phil , envied possessor of the most beautiful hands in the senior class. Her happy-go-lucky manner has accompanied her all during her four years in high school, during which she has participated in both school and class activities. Phil's excellent work on the Girls' basketball team is known to all. Being one of the top scorers, she aided her team in many a victory. Phyllis plans to enter Massachusetts State College in the Fall and should she do as well there as she has here, we're sure her future will prove a huge success. MARJORIE DIPPOLD GENERAL COURSE History Circle Margie is one of our most popular senior girls. 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

HARRY DUPREY GENERAL COURSE Tau Sigma, History Circle Harry is undoubtedly the problem child of the class of 1939. His jovial nature cost him many trips to the office where his winning personality stood him in good stead with the boss . Socially, Harry was very prominent and it was not an uncommon sight to see him and a m-ember of the opposite sex gliding by in Harry's car which he affectionately called his Blue Streak . Harry won a letter in Football in his senior year, although it was his first attempt at any varsity sport. The class of '39 sincerely wishes him the best of luck. JOSEPH ELIA COMMERCIAL CoURsE History Circle, Tau Sigma With his quiet pleasing personality, Joseph has made many friends since he came to C. H. S. He never has very much to say but what he says is usually very wisely spoken. His opinion in any matter is highly respected by his friends. Joe's humorous pranks in the Hall will never be forgotten by his class- mates. Although not excelling in any particular subject, he manages to hold his own in all he has undertaken. Joe hasn't yet come to a decision as to his future plans, but we are confident that no matter what profession he chooses, he will be successful. PRUDENCE FALKINS GENERAL CoURsE History Circle Prudy, a dark-haired, brown-eyed damsel from Parker Street is a mem- ber of the fair sex in our class. She's a lover of all outdoor sports, es- pecially bike riding, although she excels in swimming and diving. , She is also a staunch supporter of all class activities, and is always at the games rooting for the home team. Marks don't seem to worry her much, but she does manage to get by in all her studies. Although her plans for the future are indefinite we know she will be successful. The class of '39 wishes you all the luck in the world, Prudy. MARY FLANAGAN COMMERCIAL COURSE French Club, History Circle, Bulletin Board, Junior Prom Committee, Class Ring Committee, Class Secretary We now introduce one-half of that inseparable twosome of Mary and Ruthie. Through grammar school and high school they have been found together. Her ability to mix work and play made many friends for Mary. Phiddie's popularity is shown by her having been chosen class secretary for three years. As a student Phiddie was a plugger, and she deserved the best that could be given any hardworking member of the class. In the future, we see no failure for her and when our school days are never-to-be forgotten memories, we shall ever remember her winning smile and pesonality. Our loss is Simmons' gain. Au revoir, Mary. THOMAS FLANAGAN COMMERCIAL COURSE . History Circle, Tau Sigma Here is Tommy Flannagan one of the most versatile young men ever to emerge from the North End. i . Being an ardent sports enthusiastic, he has cheered many a victorious Clinton team while his chattering teeth rapped out a tune that would make Gene Krupa's Ode to a Jitter Bug sound like the Blue Danube. Tom made quite a splash in Clinton High's social whirl pool, hardly a class function failing to be graced by his presence. With his winning smile, and dashing personality, Tommy should go far in years to come, and the class of '39 sincerely wishes him the best of luck. 23
