He was one of the mainstays of the 1940-41 Freshman-Sophomore grid-squads, and was also a member of the Central A. C. Softball team. Naturally, with such activities, he couldn't spend much time in studying which didn't seem to weigh too heavily upon him, anyway.

Claire, despite the great demand on her time--studying and working-has found time for other activities as well. She is particularly interested in roller skating. Her plans for the future are uncertain but the Class of '43 sincerely wish for her success and happiness. WALTER TURNBULL College Course Tau Sigmag Photography Club Perhaps we shall recall Walter as one of the quieter members of our class, but we will always remember him as a true friend and a loyal classmate. During his four years with us he has definitely proven that he is not the stu- dious type, but nevertheless his marks were of the passing grade. His afternoons are spent driving a truck around town for Breed's, and that has made him miss many of the events in school. His plans for the future are indefinite, but whatever he chooses, the class joins in with wishing him the best of luck. HELEN D. VAGHINI General Course Photography Club Helen's attractive appearance, and quiet, unassuming manner make her a unique figure in the Class of '43. Sports seem to be her favorite pastime, with skating at the top of the list. Her many friends vouch for her as a true friend and merrymaker, and her contagious laughter lightens the burden of our studies. Helen is as yet undecided as to what she will do in the future, but her charm and likable personality will surely carry her to success. 42 MARY H.

A. L. S. Club at Bare Hill. She has many activities other than sports, one of them is taking in the movies on Friday nights with a certain you-know-who from Harvard. Mary has innumerable friends, as can be surmised from the number of the High School Gang that enter and leave the Holland Cleaners during her work- ing hours. Her future plans are as yet uncertain, but we wish her all the luck in the world. BARBARA W.

Her plans for the future are indefinite, but whatever she does, we know she'll be successful. So here's luck to you, Barbara, from '43. HELEN C. WELCH College Course Photography Club Contrary to the general opinion that a hot temper accompanies red hair, Helen is a quiet girl with retiring manners. One of Helen's distinguishing char- acteristics is her good nature and ability to get along with others. She has friend- liness, a readiness to laugh, and a pleasing disposition. With all these qualities in her favor, we know that she will make a success of her career as a nurse. Best of luck, Helen, from the class of '43. RICHARD A. WHEELER Commercial Course Tau Sigmag Photography Club Because of his quiet friendly manner, and willingness to help others, Dick has made many friends during his stay in Clinton High.

As for scholastical ability, wc haven't seen a quarter yet that Ralph hasn't earned 5 or 6 testimonials. 'Star is a very sociable fellow, andl his good-natured wit has won him many friends during his school career. Good luck, Ralph, and sincerest wishes for success. LILLIAN M. WILLIAMSON Commercial Course Photography Club Out into the footlights walks charming Lillian Williamson, a tall, slender girl with lovely eyes, brown hair, and a Winsome smile. Her poise and self-posses- sion are qualities to be proud of. Being rather quiet and reserved, she may have escaped the notice of some of her classmates, had it not been for her talent as a singer. Her future is a promising one, and we all know it will be a success- ful one. 44 ROBERT WINSHIP Technical Course Senior Showf Senior Inlcrclam Play: Tau Sigma, Photography Club May we introduce Robert one of the most jolly fellows of C.

His friends know him to be of an honest and good-natured character with a sufficient quota of seriousness. As Robert's future plans are as yet rather obscure, we hope that success will follow him throughout his endeavors. Best wishes from '43 Robert. FLORA H. WITTIG Commercial Course Photography Club As she possesses so many line qualities, it is diflicult to know how to begin describing Flora. She has a strong sense of humor, yet a seriousness about her school workg she has determination, but not the over bearing quality that usually accompanies it. Although Babe is popular in school activities, her name always appears on the testimonial list. A swing pianist is she, and also Queen of the Waltz . As a vocation she has chosen stenography.

She possesses also a musical talent which lies in her fingertips. V Although her plans at present are uncertain, each of us knows what they will be in the future.

Although her plans for the future are indefinite, we feel sure that Barbara will make a success of any profession. And as the Class of '43 leaves C. H.

LOUISE ZADROZNY Commercial Course Photography Club: Iunior Prom Commiltfef Class Book Stag And now we present a blonde favorite of '43. She is none other than Louise Zadrozny, of the Acre, whose pleasing personality has won many friends for her during her school years.

Louise leaves with '43's best wishes for her success. RAYMOND ZADROZNY Commercial Course Tau Sigma: Photography Club A flashy smile is Ray's outstanding feature. No matter what the difhculty, he has always emerged smiling. His good humor and friendliness towards all have made Ray quite popular among his associates. His marks have always been above average, and undoubtedly would have been among the highest if so much of his time wasn't taken up by outside work. Although his future is indefinite, we expect to see him in the service of our country in the near future. The best wishes of '43 go with you, Ray. 46 RICHARD L. BULLARD General Course Photography Cluhg lunior Prom Committeeg Football, 3 Here comes the Navy! Yes, Dick entered the armed services of his country a few months agog and much to our surprise, he doesn't seem to have followed the famous tradition that sailors have a girl in every port. In all appearances, Dick is quiet and unassuming, but he's a good sport and a very popular classmate. As far as studying goes, although not an honor student, Dick did manage to keep out of the red. He was also prominent in athletic events, and a supporter of the social world as well. His plans for the future seem to be well under way, so all we can say is smooth sailing, Dick, and best of luck to you! PETER CATALDI College Course Photography Cluhg Class President 2j Football 1, 2, 3, 4 We are proud to claim Marine Peter Cataldi as a member of our class. At the beginning of our Senior year, Pete joined the Marine Corps, and left us feeling a little bewildered to realize that one of the high school bunch had enlisted. During his association with us, he proved himself capable, competent and one of the gang. Not particularly studious, but getting through all right, Pete was always with us and one of usg and if he shows the same stuff on the battlefield as he did on the football held, we know Victory is just in the oiiing. Some day, Pete, we'll meet again to renew acquaintances, but for now, Good luck and Godspeed. ROBERT SANFORD General Course Foothallf Prom Committee One of the nice looking, well-groomed fellows of our class is Bob. He has a swell personality and a way of getting people to like him. Bob left school in January to join the U. S. Marine Corps. Knowing Bob, we are sure he will be a valuable addition to this branch of the service. The class of '43 wishes you the best of luck, Bob and looks forward to many pleasant reunions with you in the future. KARL WHITNEY General Course Prom Committee: Photography Club Karl is one of the boys who preferred the army to graduation. He left C. H. S. during the early months of this year for the U. S. Army and is now undergoing training at one of the camps. The many friends which Karl has left behind will always remember him for his honesty and dependability. While at school, Karl had no yen for books, and rarely found enjoyment in studyingg but he did manage to keep up with his class. Wherever the army takes you, we know the spirit of '43 will go with you Karl. Best wishes and lot of luck from '43, 47 SENIOR SYMPHONY ALLEGRO 1939-1940 At last we were in High School--how proud we feltl We were extremely gauche- peering questioningly into rooms in which we had no business to be, blundering up the wrong stairs and being shooed down again by an irate Mr. Comiskey, making a mighty effort to remember the locations of our different classrooms--but on the whole we liked it enormously. There'd been a great deal of talk about the mid-year exams fThere always isj. Their imminence cast a shadow on our Christmas vacation, We crammed desperately during Ianuary, and thought despairingly of what our parents would say if we should bring home a report card which recorded nothing but failures. The fatal week came, and, on each day of it, we bathed in Hoods of violent dread. There followed a period of suspense, while we waited for the disclosure of our marks, and then CO, happy daylj we found we hadn't done at all badly. We concluded that high school was all right. After that, we were able to enjoy ourselves a little. We knew the ropes and mid- years were a thing of the past. We drifted happily toward spring, engrossed in dances, baseball, and homework. ANDANTE 1940-1941 We were Sophomores. There was an election, and we chose our class oflicers. This compensated somewhat for the dawning realization that we were a step lower, socially, than the lordly Iuniors and Seniors. We hadn't noticed it before, but the upperclassmen looked down their noses at us. How strange. Midyears returned. Despite our experience , that phrase-Umidyear examina- tionsi'-still had power to rouse the worry birds in us. It took courage, real courage, to pick up our cards and learn the worst, but we did it and heaved great signs -of relief- We were safe! QWell, pretty safe., The rest of the year was pleasant. There were dances and baseball again, and, of course, spring fever. When we went to the Iunior Prom, we began to think about the 'wonderful one that we would have next year. 48- SENIOR SYMPHONY SCHERZO 1941-1942 Iuniors-upperclassmen!

We appointed committees for it, talked about it fwhen we should have been studyingj, and, at last, gave it. FINALE 1942-1943 And now we are Seniors. The photographer has come and gone, Miss Driscoll has renewed her annual search for nice, full voicesf, and we have the feeling of being in the home stretch. In short, we are about to graduate. This is what we have been looking forward to for four years. But now we realize that graduation is not the end in itself that we once believed it to be. We recognize it as a transitional step between the secure past and a future which rests squarely upon our own shoulders. 49 CLASS OF '43 AS SOPHOMORES CLASS OF '43 AS JUNIORS O 50 CLASS OF '43 AS SENIORS CLASS OFFICERS 3 3 'Q N Tre KILCOYNE, IOSEPH Cn!

In these trying times it is extremely diHicult to carry on as in the past, so Clinton, with a mind on meeting travel restrictions and other similar obstacles, has greatly reduced the number of contests for this Spring. Coach Ioseph F. McCaffrey with an up-and-coming ball club, a copy of the Fine teams he has Helded in the past years, faces a short but rugged schedule comprised of some of the finest nines in the county. Heading the list will be Leominster, Marl- boro, and Hudson all of whom have been strong opponents in the past. Coach McCaffrey has retained many of last seasonls outstanding stars and is ready to Held a hard hitting and clever team. Mr. McCaffrey has turned out many Winning combinations in past years in the light for the Midland League pennant and there are no doubts his squads will experience the same success in coming seasons. The seniors on the squad are Ioe Connolly fCaptainj, Ken Garber, Ioe Burgwinkle, and Bill Lang. THE SCHEDULE May 4-Leominster at Leominster. May 14-Marlboro at Clinton. May 15-Hudson at Clinton. May 18-Marlboro at Marlboro. May 22-Hudson at Hudson. May 28-Leominster at Clinton. 59 4 0 SEDHOR FOOTBALL CLUB CHEERLEADERS 60 FOOTBALL FOOTBALL TEANI With the opening of the 1943 Season, Coach McCaffrey found himself faced with the usual problem, namely lack of veteran material-the previous graduating class having taken with it several of the first string men. However, with the substitutes from the 1942 eleven and a few players appearing for the First time, the Coach moulded together a team that performed creditably against some of the leading teams in the county. The season's record was five wins and five defeats. The Seniors on the team were as follows: Co-Captain, Peter Lavelle, Pete Mitchell, Gene Cafarelli, Pete Cataldi, Richard Contratti, George O'Malley, Iames Hallinan, Kenny Garber served as Manager of the team. Clinton 0-Gardner 25. Clinton traveled to Gardner for the opening game of the season to meet one of the strongest teams in the Chair City,s history. Although the team played hard and well, Clinton was unable to withstand the fine offensive and defensive playing of the Wildcat eleven and had to be content with the short end of the score. 61 FOOTBALL 1 Continuedj Clinton 7-Natick 26. In the first home game of the season, Clinton was defeated by a powerful, well-seasoned Natick eleven. The Green and Gold battled all the way but was forced to give way to the better team. Clintonis lone touchdown came as a result of a block punt recovered behind the Natick goal line. Clinton 0-Milford 7. This was a typical Midland league game-a see-saw battle with both teams going up and down the field-,all day with Milford finally breaking the ice scoring on a pass over the line. With Cataldi running and passing brilliantly, the Green and Gold threatened several times but their drives failed to click when in pay-off territory. u- ' -gk X Clinton 7-Webiferffif Clinton proved worthy of the new sobriquet Commandos by a brilliant victoryilover they, Green and White of Webster. Combining a good ground and powerful passing attack, they outplayed the Webster team all during the , Clinton 12-St. Bernard's 6. Fresh from the Webster victory, the Commandos make it two in a row-this time with a win over a strong St. Bernard's team. Enter- ing the game as the underdog, the Commandos gave a brilliant exhibition of heads- up football and proved more than a match for the Fitchburg team. .N Clinton 13-Leominster 33.4 The annual game with the Blue and VVhite ended in ldefeat for the Clinton team. Again this year, Leominster's reserve power proved too much for the Green and Gold. However, the Clinton team received the plaudits of the fans for their grand playing against such superior odds. Clinton 0-Marlboro 26. Asmooth-clicking, hard-charging Marlboro eleven easily outclassed the Green and Gold. The -Clinton boys just couldn't stop this power- ful team which was out to avenge the defeat of last year. Marlborois alert defense kept the Commandos from ever seriously threatening. Clinton 14-Hudson 13. It was a hard running Commando eleven that downed Hudson in a night game at Riverside Park. With a great second-half comeback-scon ing two touchdowns and the all important extra points-the Commandos walked off with their best victory of the season. Clinton 21-Athol 7. With an excellent ground gaining attack, the Commandos added Athol to their list of victories. After recovering an Athol fumble early in the first period they scored at will-the Athol defense crumbling before the onrushing attack. Clinton 19-Maynard 0. The annual turkey day battle played in Maynard's own backyard was another successful invasion by the Commandos. With Co-Captain Stuka having a field day--Maynard proved easy for a fast improving Clinton team. The season was officially concluded with the Annual Rotary Club Banquet and the awarding of letters to members of the squad. 62 TAU SIGMA , , , , The 1943 Chapter of the Tau Sigma was organized in April with forty-seven Senior boys under the direction of Lewis S. Gordon, Ir. of the faculty. Eugene Cafarelli was elected Presidentg and Bart Murphy, Secretary-Treasurer. Meetings were held in the evening because so many of the fellows Worked afternoons. Dis- cussions on social manners and conduct were held at each meeting. Due to war con- ditions the usual dinner-dance will be omitted this year. 63 ORCHESTRA Each year just before graduation, a group of talented musicians step forward to bring us the unforgettable music of our graduation. The processional and recessional are especially effective. The class song is also presented with orchestral accompaniment. The senior graduates in the orchestra are: Paul Butler-trumpeterg Victoria Stepanian-solo violinistg lane McRell, Barbara Young, and Ardelle Bridges- pianists. Much of the success is due to the untiring efforts contributed by Miss Elinor M. Driscoll, and we express 'our sincere gratitude and appreciation to her for the splendid work done. 64 JUNIOR PROM The Iunior Prom seems to be the brightest highlight in the career of the Senior Class. Unlike any other in Clinton High School, it was a Patriotic Promf' V Decorations of red, white, andwblue were festooned around the balcony and the stage of the Town Hall. The National Colors were again repeated in a huge Hag hung above the stage, and in a large Uncle Sam,s hat suspended from the ceiling in the middle of the Hall. Radiating from the brim of the hat, and encircling the whole room were streamers of patriotic hue. A spotlight made with numerous colors circled the Hall, and seemed to enhance the whole scene. The paramount event of the evening however, manifested itself when the lid of the Uncle Sam,s hat opened, and innumer- able balloons of all shapes and sizes floated down about the couples dancing. Iohnny Evans, Orchestra provided the music, and we had plenty of it, both swingy and sweet, and the dancers swayed easily to the smooth rhythm. The whole event was a panorama of color-the dress suits worn by the boys, the multi-colored gowns of the girls, together with the patriotic colors of the decorations painted a rainbow of color and gaiety never before experienced in past events. The unparalleled success of our Prom, however, was not easily attained, and is attributed to those who worked so earnestly and cooperatively with the Class President and Chairmen of the various committees. Only thus were our plans executed, and our Prom made one ever to remembered by our class. 65 WHO'S WHO IN '43 Ideal C. H. S. Girl ..... .. Ideal C. H. S.

Lending boys to the Army, boys to the Navy, Marines, and Air Corps too. We leave our teachers and we leave our high school friends prepared to work for Uncle Sam, And everything we're struggling for means peace in our native land. We won't forget the fun we had with every classmate that we knew, But we must start in fighting now because we have a job to do. Maroon and gold have been our colors true, but they'll soon become red, white, and blueg And our aim is on to Victory-boys and girls of forty-three. Classmates all! Hear the call! Brave and true! Dare to do! Our country cannot wait, we must not hesitate, we have to get to work right now, We can't waste a minute, we have to get in it, and we will win somehow. Although we have to sacrifice those things that help our boys to win this world-wide war, We won't regret it when we've won-Uncle Sam is worth lighting for! 78 GRADUATION PROGRAM MARCH OF THE GRADUATES- GCMARCHE MILITAIRE,, Schubert HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA O VICTORIOUS PEOPLEH Gaines CHORUS PRESENTATION OF CLASS GIFT EMIL REGONINI ACCEPTANCE OF CLASS GIFT THOMAS F.
