MATTHEW FARRAGHER Commercial Course . Photography Club, Tau Sigma, History Circle There's nothing at all that worries me. A perpetual smile and friendly greeting is sufficient to introduce Matty Farragher. His jovial nature and willingness to lend a helping hand have acquired for him a host of friends at Clinton High. Matty , although never overburdened with books, has proven himself scholastically inclined by gliding through his course with apparent ease. ln the future We expect to see Matthew in the uniform of the Merchant Marine. We say, Good luck, Matthew! MERRILL GAGE General Course Tau Sigma, Photography Club, History Circle, Class Book Staff A true iriend is forever a friend. Supposedly one of the quiet members of our class, Merrill's many friends have a very different opinion. Merrill is equipped with an pleasant sense of humor and a magnetic personality. These two factors help in making him a very agreeable companion. - Merrill was very much interested in high school sports but had no time to try out for the various teams. He is, however, an ardent fan and attended all the games. After graduation, Merrill'plans to enter the Navy. HELEN GALUSKA Commercial Course Photography Club Ai-table and Helen were lifelong friends. Helen is one of the members of our class who always has a helping hand for anyone and everyone. Her generous and warm feeling toward her fellow students make us appreciate her all the more. Come winter, Helen can be heard talking about ice-skating. It is her favorite sport, undoubtedly because she is a Whiz at is. Farewell, Helen, and the fond regards of 44 go with you into the future. IOHN I. GIBBONS ' College course History Circle, Tau Sigma, Photography Club, Junior Prom Committee. Inter-Class Dramatics, 2 Worry never did man any good. Ice is one of the famous Acre gang. He never lost much sleep over his studies, but appeared to be able to take books in his stride. Like many another High School boy, Ioe got a lot of fun out of it, as well as profiting by it, Ioe was very interested in school sports, although he never took an active part in them, and he could be found at any social event in town. Good luck, Ioel

Sweet and gracious. Take a cheery smile, a pleasing personality, a sunny disposition, and you have a brief description of Georgia. Georgia's fondness for sport activities was shown by her presence at all football games, cheering lustily.

We are sure that whatever profession she chooses, she'll be a success.

The gay ripple of an accordion, a sparkling smile, and we have happy- go-lucky Mary. We don't know what Thanksgiving shows will do without her, for she has enthralled audiences with the skillful manipulation of her accordion. Bowling is Mary's second interest, but don't get the idea that Mary believes in all play and no work, because general excellence has' often followed her name. The Class of 44 is' confident of Mary's success. 1 NICHOLAS HARBATIS ' College Course Tau Sigma, History Circle, Photography Club Education is the milestone on the road to success.
