He was a fine student, and was always found well above the passing grade.

As we, the eager land quite ignorant? freshmen stepped from the glaring sunshine into the cool dimness of the main corridor, a new, amazing world revealed itself to us. A labyrinth of seemingly endless corridors, jostling, turbulent upper classmen, all served to both bewilder and impress us. Maps and room numbers were absolute necessities, as we ineptly tried to adjust ourselves to this pandemonium. Those juniors and seniors made every effort to help us. Odd, though, wasn't it, into what difficulties their thoughtfulness involved us? Weeks slipped quietly by. School had taken on a new light. There were report cards to be considered, and still worse, the marks which were carefully recorded by conscientious teachers. Midyears, a new and terrifying experience, left us a bit nonplussed at our success in obtaining passing marks. CWel1, the majority did, anyway.l Spring arrived in festive dress, bringing with it the characteristic spring fever. lt suddenly became prosaic to concentrate on books. ln vain did teachers rap desks for attention, so it was to the extreme relief of all that Iune brought forty points, making us- ' 47 SOPHOMORES 1941-1942 Back to the old grind, as some Wit expressed it. Sure of ourselves now, We could afford to bestow condescending glances on lowly freshmen. The vast importance of selecting class officers wasn't lost on us. We made a prudent choice-President, Nicholas Lambrosy Vice-President, Mar- garet O'Toolep Treasurer, Harry Kamatarisp Secretary, Ellen Cannon. Finance reared its ugly head, but didn't stump us long. The traditional Friday night dance was inaugurated, which aided greatly in starting a treasury. December 7th, War. A new word. We girls could only discuss it, but our boys made serious decisions-decisions that in a year or two brought many of them to strange unknown lands to defend their country. Midyears, try as we might to be nonchalant, aroused old hopes and fears. Mostly the latter. We attended an excellent Easter show, in which our class made a splendid contribution to the field of entertainment. Iune found us ,busily discussing that event of events, the Iunior Prom. White flannels were released from the mothballsp stores did a rushing business on gowns, and weattended our first formal. Meticulous attention was paid to all details of lighting, decorations, etc., for that great honor would be ours, on becoming worthy- 48 IUNIORS 1942-1943 Iust a tiny bit different now, a step nearer the final goal. Belittling freshmen had now become an unbreakable habit: we felt so superior. Studies, We found, were merely routine, to be done and then forgotten, although this attitude sometimes proved very embarassing. Election rolled around again and found: President, Nicholas Lambrosp Treasurer, Harry Karnatarisp and two new eyefuls of glamor, Margaret Ann McCarty, Vice-President: Helen Marie Murphy, Secretary. Dances, midyears, class rings, the wonderful Easter show in which our class walked off with highest honors-all these traced indelible patterns on hearts and minds. T ' Then the piece de resistance. our Iunior Prom! From nine that morning of the great day until late that afternoon, the Town Hall Auditorium became a veritable beehive of activity. Thumb taclcs, crepe paper, dusty hands and faces predominatecl. ' A perfect evening-soft lights, dreamy, romantic music, the harmonious combination of pastel gowns with white flannels-served as a fitting close to a happy Iunior year, and a more exciting introduction to the year that made us- I 49 .

But time was short, and We resolved to cram all our good times into this last year. Election made its annual appearance, and history repeated itself, so to speak, for the same officers were selected. The War, We soon found, brought changes, for many senior boys entered the various branches of the armed services, leaving the class somewhat depleted. Then suddenly the hustle and bustle of graduation preparations descended upon us-the usual visit of the photographer, measurements for caps and gowns, and the sounds which might havedenoted singing to the less informed. Now quiet reigns, a cool Iune breeze gently stirs the whispering leaves of a sturdy oakg peace seems to penetrate the very walls of Clinton High School. A few more days, then the final departure-our diplomas will be awarded us. This is the moment we have hoped and strived for, this is the glory to be cherished forever. But now that it has come, We are pensive and a little afraid. Before us liesthe World, a world that has been and will be cruel at times, and the persistent question arises: Are we prepared to take our place, to accom- plish much, and to do good? And off in the nebulous future, We vaguely depict the shining goal, our goal, to which the ideals and principles taught us in Clinton High School, will steadfastly serve us.

Mary Lee Bundy Poor I-Ierbert's Money , a one act comedy, was our freshman contribution to the Inter-Class Dramatics. The story dealt with a will left by one Herbert Murphy, in which it Was stipulated that his money fwhich consisted of several thousand dollarsl was to be left to the relative who could prove himself most deserving of it. There were four relatives in all, and they were to decide who should have it. If they did not agree, it was to be left to the Snug Harbor Home for Cats. Needless to say, they could not agree among themselves, and the money passed out of their hands to a cousin of Uncle Herbert's wife. This was much to their dislike and amazement, tor she was the one who ran the Home for Cats. lt proved to be a most enjoyable entertainment with each member of the cast portraying his part in true professional style. q V.. ef-reg-A V,--X--'ge--me W ve-gqx-X-F. t QW .

O'Toole P Our final contribution to the annual competition held on May 5, at the Town Hall, consisted of two separate parts. P The first, entitled Senior Snapshots , featured Howard Brigham, master of ceremonies, Agnes Rzegota, vocalist: Lester McLean, clarinet player. The added feature was a play, On the Beach at Tarawa. As you know, Tarawa is an island in the Pacific on which took place one of the bloodiest battles of history between the U. S. Marines and the Iapanese. The setting was a foxhole in which were seated a Sergeant Closeph Kittredgei, and a Private Uoseph Grimleyl. Both begin to recall memories of home, while all about them death and destruction take their toll. 4The Private, suddenly sensing a new commotion up the beach impru- dently stands up in the foxhole, and is quickly picked off by a lap sniper. Shortly after he dies peacefully in the arms of his Sergeant. ' 4 Our offering proved good enough to receive half of the award which was divided between the Iunior and Senior classes., 55 SENIOR SHOW A y TUMBLE INN Directed by Walter McGrail Mr. Knight: ...... ............

They therefore secured one Mr. Simpson-Sampson, a very smooth young fellow, who succeeds in attracting many female patrons to the hotel, Miss Amanda Love, romantic novelist, Gwendolyn, and Sophia, three lovesick ladies, immediately attach themselves to Mr. Simpson-Sampson, much to the disgust of Miss Helen Pepper, who believed man far inferior to woman. This, however, did not discourage Caesar Casket, who became Miss Pepper's ardent admirer. Titus Canby, agent for Phoebe, the aviatrix who was to arrive at Tumble Inn , readily impressed upon the guests the great importance of the visit. Annie, the maid, and Hopper, the bellboy, have their romantic troubles, for Annie does not find Hopper's investments agreeable to her. From there on it's a gay whirl of excitement, ending happily and roman- tically for all concerned. lf iss fs- Tr ritfisei f 'rrv:'r-v'ff 1 fF -f'tf'3:f f 4iss'rt'r'f , bf,-t1L1gg.,sP:-3,s-,.2zF'--few' PY :Jef - -an -.

'The Clinton High School Varsity coached by Mr. McCaffrey, was called out early 'in September. With most of the squad having been graduated, Coach McCaffrey again found himself with scant material. With only a few lettermen retuming and not too much interest in the sport only 24 candidates reported. By seasons end there were only 18 men on the squad. ' CLINTON 2 GARDNER 7 The Green and Gold opened its 1943 season by playing Gardner in that city. Hardly had the game begun when a Gardner back was hit in the end zone by fast rushing Captain Connor to give Clinton a 2 point lead. In the dying 'minutes of the first half Reggie Boone of the Chair City boys broke through the Clinton defense for a score, The point after was made. That ended the scoring of both sides. The second half provided many thrills with the Green and Gold threatening unsuccessfully several times. CLINTON 0 NATICK 13 Traveling to Natick the following Saturday the Green and Gold encountered a strong Mid-Land League Rival only to emerge on the short end of a 13 to 0 score. Clinton reached paydirt early in the second period only to have the touchdown nullified by a holding penalty. After the penalty had been given Stuka again went over the goal line, but another penalty was called. With Clinton ground defenses holding, later in the same period, Natick took to the air and scored its first touchdown. Early in the third period a Clinton punt was taken by Ed Clasby who scampered 67 yards through the whole Clinton team for the last score of the game. There was very poor officiating in this game with most of the breaks being handed to Natick. CLINTON U MILFORD 18 The next week the Luckless Green and Gold found itself again away from home, this time going to Milford, where they were handed an 18 to 0 defeat on Milford's new athletic field. Clinton was completely outclassed by this strong Mid-Land League Rival.

CLINTON 7 WEBSTER 0 Making their first appearance the Commandos come through with their first win of the season. Clinton scored in the final stages of the first period and then threw back all Webster attacks both on the ground and the air. Clinton threw away many scoring opportunities. CLINTON 6 ST. BERNARD'S 6 The following Saturday the Green and Gold traveled to Fitchburg to play St. Bernard's. Clinton went there with 15 men making up the complete roster. Throughout the game both teams were hindered by the steady drizzle that prevailed. St. Bernard's scored in the dying minutes of the first half, which was filled with spills and thrills. The second half see-sawed back and forth and it seemed that the score would end in another Clinton defeat. With but 5 minutes left, the Commandos stored up enough drive and roared up the field to tie the score. The game ended with Clinton on its way for another touchdown and a sure victory. CLINTON O LEOMINSTER 20 The undermanned Green and Gold Commandos fought gamely against a strong Leominster Blue and White eleven at Doyle Field the following Saturday only to emerge on the short end of a 20 to U score. The Comb City warriors had their hands full in the first half with the Mill Town boys of Clinton playing superb ball. The Blue and White finally mustered a tally in the closing minutes of the second period. The score stood 6 to O at the half. Finally in the fourth quarter the Commandos with fifteen stalwarts making up the complete roster gave way to their much stronger opponents, who had four full reserve teams ready to throw into the fray. Result was a 20-0 loss for our boys. CLINTON O MARLBORO 20 The situation was the same in Marlboro, where Cleo O'Donnell's Panther eleven trounced Clinton to the tune of 20-0. The Green and Gold threatened in the second period when they recovered a fumble on Marlboro's 38-yard line. A sustained drive carried them to the tsevenl 7-yard line. At this point the Black and Orange fought back stubbornly and Clinton was forced to give up the pigskins on downs. In the meantime the Marlboro eleven scored three touchdowns, due mainly to the undermanned conditions of the Clinton Squad. ' CLINTON 26 HUDSON 7 Making their second home appearance after playing away for three weeks, the iron-men of Clinton met and defeated a strong Hudson team to the tune of 26-7. Superb line play of the team enabled the backs to break loose for many long runs. Ed Stuka led the assault, passing to Browchuk, for a touchdown and scoring once himself. Piano ended the scoring with a 35 yard dash. CLINTON 0 ATHOL 19 Again playing at home, the Commandos met one of the larger teams of the county. Athol opening up and scoring on the first play in a long pass. Clinton drove to the opponents goal at least half a dozen times but there the Red and White of Athol tightened up. CLINTON 13 MAYNARD 7 Clinton ended the season Thanksgiving Day morning by defeating their arch-rival, Maynard, also in the Midland League, to the tune of 13-7. Maynard scored first in the opening period, and drove off three Clinton attacks, during the first half. Score standing U-'7. The second half found a much spirited team engaged in the conflict, and the Commandos quickly tied the score 7-7. The fourth quarter had hardly gotten under way when a forty-yard pass, Stuka to Connor, enabled Clinton to go into the lead, which they never again yielded. Senior members: Raymond Browchuk, Ioe Casasanto, Ed Connor, Ioe Innamorati, Ray Spanier, Ed Stuka, Paul Shaughnessy, Harry Kamataris, William Vattes, and Arthur Pappas. Previous to the Thanksgiving game the Clinton team was entertained at a rally sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. Q After the season ended the annual Rotary Club Banquet was given at the Kopper Kettle. The Lions Club later feted the players a banquet at the Old Timers. 59 BASEBALL Coach McCaffrey called out candidates for baseball in the early spring. Because of conditions, the team practiced only evenings. With few veterans the Coach was able to get together a nine which could make themselves worthy of praise. Among those returning were Ioe Casasanto, slugging Acre outfielderp Ed Connor, fine fielding and heavy hitting third baseman: Bud Lang, a sensation around second base, Ray Browchuk, an outstanding pitcher: and Paul Ianda, iine fielding first baseman. The team split the twelve games which they played, winning six and losing six. With better fielding and some wins, two losses. The team had co-captains in Ray Browchulc and Ioe hitting in a few of the games, the record would probably have been ten Casasanto. The squad included Andy Browchuk, Ray Browchuk, Ioe Casasanto. Archie Cataldi, Ed Connor, Tom Fallon, Bob Frietag, Sonny Gosselin, Paul Ianda, Bud Lang, EdNicewicz, and Tom Shaughnessy. CLINTON ll MAYNARD 2 Clinton opened its bid for Midland League title at Savage Field by walloping Maynard to the tune of ll-2. Browchuk coasted to victory behind the offensive hitting of Casasanto and fine defense play of Browchuk, Connor, and Lang. CLINTON 5 ST. BERNARD'S 10 For the next game Clinton travelled to Fitchburg to meet a strong St. Bernard's nine. Clinton lost because of loose fielding at important moments. Pitcher Connor hit a home run with one on for the only important showing of our side. CLINTON 10 MILFORD 15 Again playing out of town Clinton lost to Milford in a loosely played affair with the score of IO-15. Clinton led 9-4 in the slug-fest, but Milford tied 9-9 in the seventh, broke loose for six runs in the eighth to clinch victory. Connor led the attack for Clinton with three hits, Browchuk struck out sixteen but loose fielding proved to be again fatal for Clinton. CLINTON 5 HUDSON ll Playing at Riverside Park, a strong Hudson nine defeated Clinton ll-5. Hudson power showing for the first time all season. Connor hit a home run in a losing game. CLINTON 15 MARLBORO 7 Back again in town after 3 games absence, Clinton batsmen found their marks and pounded out a 15-7 victory over the highly touted Marlboro Panthers. This was the only defeat suffered by Marl- boro who won the Mid-Land league title. Bud Lang pitched superbly and coasted to victory. Again Connor led the attack with a homer, triple and a single. CLINTON 7 LEOMINSTER ll Clinton travelled to Leominster only to find their jinx of losing out of town still holding true. Clinton played its poorest ball of the season. CLINTON 7 HUDSON 2 Back home again, Clinton defeated Hudson in a very well-played game, 7-2. In the fifth inning with score tied 2-2, Ioe Casasanto drove in two runs which proved to be all that was needed for victory. Lang pitched while Browchuk and Ianda starred defensively. CLINTON l MARLBORO ll Clinton got walloped by Marlboro Panthers to the tune of ll-1 in a vengeful manner for their previous defeat. Clinton's batter only got five hits. CLINTON ll MAYNARD 4 This game was the only out of town game which Clinton has won in three years. Browchuk scattered few hits to Maynard batsman. Batting hero of the day was Ioe Casasanto who made three hits- a tremendous homer and two long doubles off deep center field. Connor got his fourth homer of the season in this game. CLINTON 4 LEOMINSTER 3 In a closely played game at Savage Field, Clinton rallied for three runs in the seventh inning to tie the score, and finally getting a home run in the ninth for victory. Casasanto, Connor and Browchuk with successive singles brought home the winning run in the ninth. Casasanto had a perfect day with 4 for 4, his hits starting both rallies. Browchuk starred at bat and on the mound, striking out 13 batters. CLINTON I4 ST. BERNJ-XRD'S l Ed Connor coasted to a 14-l victory over the opposing team, by the tremendous score of 14-l. Cataldi led the assault with three hits which included two doubles. Four St. Bernard's rallies were extinguished when left fielder Casasanto made very fine put outs. CLINTON 7 MILFORD 12 Heavy hitting, loose fielding by Clinton enabled Milford to come from behind and give Clinton its first lose at home. Lang and Frietag led Clinton batters with two hits a piece. -Q 4 f 5 5 A5 ' K Q Am R, W A ' jf 2 wx, 59 V MEFF?

This year, as in the past several years, Lewis S. Gordon, Ir. has under- taken the supervision of the club, directing its social functions, and endeavor- ing to solve any problems confronting the boys. At our first meeting, We held our election of the Club's officers for the year. William Carr was elected President and Dino Caiazzi, Secretary-Treasurer. Both of these young men were well qualified for their positions as officers in the club and their election is further proof of the level-headedness predominant in the Class of 44 . A complete program of events was drawn up and a most successful year Was assured for the 1944 Chapter of Tau Sigma.

'ln comparison to former years the society appeared very much changed, owing to the troubled times and the lack of spare moments by both students and teachers. As the majority of the Senior class was variously employed in the afternoons, it soon became apparent that weekly meetings would be very impractical, it not impossible. The annual trip to Provincetown, which is always uppermost in the minds of the members of the History Circle, was unable to take place due to the critical shortage of gasoline and tires. We hope, however, that sometime in the future, the History Circle will again assume an active part in Clinton I-ligh's activities. 65 LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Parler en francais! That was our great ambition when We began our French Club. Ten puzzled Seniors ready to learn, eager to get ahead, and knowing that the subject chosen, would be beneficial in many ways. We organized under Miss Mary Kerrigan, whose inspiration and guidance made this Club possible. . ' At our first meeting in early February, the following officers were elected: Paul Shaughnessy, President, Leola McCullough, Vice-President, Francis Tierney, Treasurer, Katherine Philbin, Secretary. Each meeting brought us new knowledge of the language which we had undertaken to study. One of the most unforgettable incidents was the initiation of the Seniors taking French Ill. Who shall ever forget that day? We sincerely wish to thank Miss Mary Kerrigan for her patience and co-operation which helped to make Le Cercle Francais a big success.

Most frequently we hear the strains Harmonizing around Easter time, From violin to loud trombone All for us and us alone. We gratefully pay tribute to a group of musically talented students and to Miss Eleanor Driscoll who has successfully guided them, for making our graduation night a complete success. ' The orchestra is not an all the year affair but is organized early in the spring. The group, comprised of students from four classes, play a variety of instruments. . In our memories of Clinton High the orchestra will remain with us always. 67 JUNIOR PROM In An Old Dutch Garden was the lovely theme which predominated at our Junior Prom. On the Town Hall stage a windmill stood, its shafts gently revolving as if stirred by a lowland breeze. A charming white picket fence appeared in the foreground behind which vari-colored tulips nodded lazily. Standing on opposite sides of the fence were two stoical Dutch children, a boy and girl, dressed in the garb of their native Holland. From the balcony to the stage curtain, streamers were hung, and placards with the inscriptions l944 and l943 were placed on the sides of the balcony. A Cozy Corner fitted with sofa, chairs, and lamp completed the scene. The dancers glided about to the melodic strains of Russ Cole's excellent orchestra, which played till midnight. lt was a night never to be forgotten by those who attended the Prom, and the Class of 1944 deserves the utmost praise for its success. 68 LONG AGO and FAR AWAY KSee Page 1037 LONG AGO mid FAR AWAY csee Page may A 4 N N ' T I 1 , P SOFT LYDIAN AIRS Absent-Minded .................,... ..................,.,.,.A.... ........................
