STEVENS English FACULTY FRESHMEN School bells rang on a bright autumn day and greeted almost two hundred Freshmen to dear old Clinton High School. Turning the pages back we recall all the things we encountered . . . assemblies, Juniors and Seniors who were willing to direct us to our rooms (funny how their directions some- times sent us to the basement instead of the Study Hall) . . . football games . . . our first report cards (no remarks) ... A splendid Thanksgiving Show after a 13-7 victory over Maynard that morning . . . the Senior Show, Tumble Inn, provided an evening of enter- tainment during the Christmas Vacation . . . and after vacation we were knee deep in Mid- Years — Oh what an Experience! . . . Spring brought Baseball and the Interclass Dramatics when we proudly presented a Minstrel Show . . . Finally June rolled around and we attend- ed our first Graduation and Prom — the per- fect end to our Freshman year which left us awaiting eagerly our return as CHAPTER II 1944 1945 SOPHOMORES A step nearer the final goal and feeling quite experienced, we returned this year as Sophomores . . . having gained the right to vote we soon elected our Class Officers: Presi- dent, Tom Shaughnessy; Vice-President, Bar- bara Dippold; Secretary, Helen Regomni; Treasurer, Kenneth Stewart. Before we knew it report cards came out (but this time we prepared some alibis, just in case) . . . football games were in again . . . the Thanksgiving Minstrel Show and the Christmas Show, The Man Who Came to Dinner, were wonderful . . . and after vaca- tion we sailed through the Mid-Years (kind of rough sailing) . . . Instead of an Interclass Dramatics Competition, the Athletic Council presented a Vaudeville Show and introduced the C. H. S. Band which was acclaimed by all . . . Time marched on and June was here again with Graduation and the Prom provid- ing the climax to our Sophomore year and now we were CHAPTER III 1945 1946 JUNIORS Returning this year had a great deal of im- portance, for after four years of WAR our country was now at PEACE . . . Floodlights at Fuller Field, the new Kenneth Johnson Field House, the Band and Cheerlead- ers all added to the 1945 Football Season when our Team won the Midland League and Class C. State Championships . . . Election lime rolled around and we elected the following officers: President, Tom Fallon; Vice-President, Mary Burke; Secretary, Helen Regonini; Treas- urer, Kenneth Stewart . . . The Thanksgiving and Christmas Shows were greatly applauded . . . After a few years absence, Basketball re- turned with the home games at the Armory . . . Another Vaudeville Show was presented in the Spring ... In April we received our Class Rings, which we felt were tops . . . Base- ball games were on again and this year there was something new — Field Day . . . and so in due time, June produced Graduation and Night of Nights — Our Junior Prom — Colorful streamers, potted plants, the Crystal Ball, boys in formals and girls in gowns danc- ing to the music of Roy Hendrickson s Orches- tra all blending to the appropriate term, Storm of Colors, brought another year to a close and offered an exciting introduction to the year that made us CHAPTER IV 1 946 1 947 SENIORS The term Senior made us realize that our first days at C. H. S. were over and so we resolved to make our last year one of the most memorable years of our lives. Two new officers were elected this year: President, Patsy Vitone, and Treasurer, Danny Driscoll . . . Studies were again resumed (???) . . . the Football Season awarded another Midland League Championship to our team . . . The Thanksgiving and Christmas Dances were substituted for the annual Shows and proved quite popular . . . Basketball took up our time in the winter . . . and in spring some- thing new was added to the Baseball Season a new diamond at Fuller Field . . . Tau Sigma, History Circle, French Circle took their place in the life of a Senior . . . Preparations for pictures, measurements for Caps and Gowns, rehearsals remind us that Graduation is approaching — OUR GRADUATION — Yes, this is the occasion we have been looking forward to since we were Freshmen . . . And so as we, the Class of 1947, go forth into the world, we extend to Clinton High School our appreciation for the training it has given us. PATSY N. VITONE President DANIEL M. DRISCOLL Treasurer SENIOR OFFICERS MARY T. BURKE Vice-President HELEN A. REGONIN! Secretary Dominic Richard Alessandrini It s no trouble to smile Do you see the above quotation? W ell, that is Dick. At first glance we see a quiet, reserved student, but we look again and our opinion changes. Beneath that quiet exterior, we find a mis- chievous, fun-loving Dick . He was an active member of our class, yet he always managed, with little effort, to keep his marks out of the red and within the safety zone. Dick plans to enter Business School and we, his classmates, know that he will bring credit to his Alma Mater. Photography Club, Junior Prom Committee, His- tory Circle, Tau Sigma Richard Lawrence Arthur So much to do, so little done Dick, as his buddies from the North End call him, is noted for his friendly disposition. Although he is quite indifferent to many social events, you would be more likely to find him at the Sham- rock Alleys. Never one of the intellectual giants of C.H.S., he copped more than his share of testimonials with a minimum of study. Always witty in any class, his keen sense of humor bright- ened many a dark day. Dick’s future plans are indefinite, but he would like to continue his music study. Whatever he does, we all hope that Richard will open the door to success. Photography Club, History Circle, Tau Sigma, Junior Prom Committee Ralph Carter Breed Large as life and twice as natural Although we didn’t meet Carter until our Senior year, with his good looks and suave manner he was immediately acclaimed one of our most popular fellows. Carter was an ardent football enthus- iast, starring at end on our highly successful football team. His ac- tivities weren ' t confined to sports, however, for he was a faithful participant in all school activities. His plans for the future are un- certain but whatever field he chooses, we know he will be suc- cessful. Football, Tau Sigma, History Circle, Photography Club Elizabeth Brodrick Good things come in small packages A tiny brunette is Betty, one of the North End s contributions to the Senior Class We cannot call her the studious type, yet she managed to get by with ease. Fun-loving and carefree, Betty took an active part in all school activities and was ever ready to lend assistance whenever it was needed. Her plans for the future are indefinite, but we wish her the best of luck in whatever she chooses. History Circle, Junior Prom Committee, Class Ring Committee, Photography Club Stanley N. Bryant ‘ ' The only way to have a friend is to be one. Stan appears to be one of the strong, silent type, but how wrong that first impression is when you really know him. Yes, he is really a jolly, fun-loving fellow. An enthusiastic hunter, Stan looks forward with joy to that annual trip to the wilds of Maine. How much suc- cess he has had, we don ' t know. Maine will claim him next year, for he intends to enroll in one of its leading colleges. Good luck to you, Stan. French Circle, Tou Sigma, History Circle, Photo- graphy Club Claire Rose Buck Life is not so short but that there is time to laugh . Here ' s Claire, one of the most happy-go-lucky girls in the class. Friendly, vivacious, and one of our most popular students, Claire always maintained a high scholastic record. She plans to continue her studies and become a medical secretary, and the best wishes of the entire class are extended for her future success which we know she will attain. Photography Club, Junior Prom Committee, Band 2, 3, 4, French Club, History Circle, T hanks- giving Show I I William Frederick Buck “For he ' s a jolly good fellow Tall, well-groomed, gentlemanly — all these add up to “Bill. A quiet fellow, he has impressed us with his seriousness and earnest- ness. His interests were many and varied. Of course, he supported all school and class affairs, but we understand that his favorite hobby was the study of birds. Perhaps C.H.S. has a naturalist in the making. Here ' s wishing you the best of luck Bill, from the Class of 1947. Tau Sigma, French Circle, History Circle, Junior Prom Committee, Photography Club Martha Theresa Burgwinkle A smile will go a long way But a laugh will go still further. Martha could always be found wherever there was fun and laugh- ter, whether it was at school, at the games, or at dances. Her sense of h umor and winning personality have made her one member of the class we are not likely to forget. Martha, however, always kept her marks well above average and we are certain thct with her personality and ability, her career as a dietitian will be a success- ful one. Band 2, 3, 4- Photography Club; Thanksgiving Show I,- History Circle; Junior Prom Committee John Francis Burke A smile, like an Irish mile , Goes o long way. It is with great pleasure that the class of ' 47 introduces one of its outstanding students, for John ' s name never fails to adorn the testi- monial list. He is noted for his oratorical ability and we feel confi- dent that in future years his name will be written in the Hall of Fame. John has not yet decided upon his career but whatever he undertakes, he will be sure to succeed. Best of luck, John, from the Class of 47. President of Latin Classical Society, History Circle , Tau Sigma, Class Book Staff, Photo- graphy Club, Junior Prom Committee, Mass. Junior Statesmen Club. Mary Theresa Burke It ' s nice to be natural When you ' re naturally nice . We present light-haired, blue-eyed Mary, the outstanding girl in the Senior class. Vice-President of our class for two years, Co-Editor of the Class Book are a few of the important offices to which Mary has been elected — positive proof of her competence, efficiency and sincerity. Mary has contributed to the success of every school activity — the band, the dances, and in great measure the testimon- ial list. She plans to enter Teachers’ College and we know that she will be a definite asset to the teaching profession. Vice President 3, 4 Band 2, 3, 4.

In her quiet v ay, Ruthie has won a host of friends among the stu- dent body and faculty. A bright, cheerful little miss, she was ever ready and willing to lend assistance whenever it was needed. Ruthie managed to keep in close touch with the social life of the school and at the same time be an honor student — an excellent combination She plans to become a beautitian and we know tha‘ she will be a successful one. Photography Club, Junior Prom Committee, History Circle Nicholas R. Cecchini A boy s will is the wind ' s will, And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts. Nick is one of the shy, reserved members of our class, but those who were fortunate enough to have his friendship realize what a true friend and regular fellow he is. He is the sort of student who can t help but make good. He has all the traits necessary for suc- cess and he uses them to good advantage. The Class of 47 is cer- tain that he will continue to achieve his enviable records at Holy Cross College. Class Book Staff ; Junior Prom Committee; Latin Classical Club; History Circle; Tau Sigma ; Photography Club Theresa Chrostowski Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low. An excellent thing in woman. Well, folks, here she is; yes, we mean Theresa. Theresa ' s sense of humor never misses the funny side of anything, and she has bright- ened cur darkest hours with her gaiety and cheerfulness. Her even disposition has won her many friends, among them her two insep- arable pals, Helen and Reggie. Theresa is undecided as to where she will continue her education, but wherever she goes, the Class of 1947 wishes her success. History Circle; Junior Prom Committee; Photog- raphy Club. Gerald Kenneth Clark hove always thought the deeds of men The best interpreters of their thoughts. ' Clarky needs no introduction. He is one of our many returned veterans whose cheerful personality has won for him the esteem of all his classmates. Gerald is always present at social and ath- letic activities, but still he manages to keep his marks well above average. Clarky intends to enter Massachusetts State College. The Class of 47 wishes him the best of luck. Tau Sigma. History Circle. Football; Baseball. Joseph John Clisham Not that I loved study less. But leisure more. Happy-go-lucky is the only suitable description for Joe. Contin- ually hungry, sometimes sleepy, always seen on High Street with a mail bag for the Item are a few things we ll remember about Joe. Although not an athlete, he has repeatedly been known to yell himself hoarse at va rious football contests. Joe is seldom seen alone, more often than not being accompanied by his stead- fast friend, Bob. Best of luck, Joe, from the Class of ' 47 in whatever you do. Tau Sigma; History Circle; Prom Committee,; Photography Club. John Gustave Cloutier He was fond of amusement, too Now we come to Bolton $ much appreciated contribution to this High School. Although Jackie has only been with us one year, he has won many friends and admirers. Even if he seems to be a quiet chap, his saintly appearance is only skin deep. Jackie ' has proved himself a real friend, and was ever willing to offer a help- ing hand, providing the task was not too strenuous. He plans to |oin the Navy, and we know he will be a success. May you have smooth sailing, Jackie . Tau Sigm a Photography Club; History Circle. Theresa Marie Cocchiola Friendship cannot be valued too highly. A happy smile and a laughing heart, a sincere desire to help her classmates in their moments of misery are a few of the fine qualities that we find in Terry. She is a loyal supporter of all school ac- tivities and her familiar voice can be heard cheering the boys on at all football games. She is also a popular participant in all school dances and shows. Her future plans point to a career in the busi- ness world and we wish you the best of luck, Terry . Thanksgiving Show I, 2, 3 History Circle, Junior Prom Committee Photography Club; Class Pmg Committee. Vincent Francis Costello Here he comes , there he goes. Next, none other than Mickey, that boy from the Acre who is one of the best liked in the class. His ability to add humor to just about anything, as well as his pleasant personality, have won for him many friends. Studies never seemed to bother him, although he always did well in all his classes which, due to his presence, never knew a dull moment. Mickey plans to further his education at U.C.L.A and we are sure that he can ' t help but succeed. Best of luck, Mickey!

A sunny disposition, sparkling personality and sincere friendliness account for Barb ' s popularity with all her classmates. She was our choice for Vice-President in her Sophomore year, a position she executed with ability. Her enthusiasm in all High School af- fairs has been unrivaled. A fine dancer, a smart dresser, Barb never lacked partners at a dance. Best wishes for success are ex- tended to you from the Class of 47.

Ann Dorothy DiRienzo Always happy, always gay, You ' ll find her that way , every day. ' Now as the spotlight turns, its rays fall on Ann. Our first impres- sion was that she was quiet, but after we became better acquaint- ed with her she proved quite the opposite. Because of her fine sense of humor, she has brightened many otherwise dull hours with her gaiety and cheerfulness. Ann has visions of herself in a white cap and uniform, taking patients ' temperatures. The Class of ' 47 wishes you success in your chosen profession, Ann.

But Dan- ny has done so much of which he can be proud. He was our Foot- ball Captain, with an enviable record as a gridiron warrior. Who can forget the thrilling moments when Danny ' came roaring down the field to score the winning touchdown? Not only has he attained leadership in football, but also in class activities, for he was chosen Class Treasurer. We know that whatever you intend to do, Danny, success will accompany you.

George, a willing and able worker, a good friend with a sunny disposition, can always be found among the supporters of basket- ball and football games. An amateur photographer, he was a fam- iliar figure at all school functions with his camera, ready and eager to obtain candid shots of his unsuspecting classmates.

Perhaps we shall recall Kurt as one of the quieter members of the class, but we shall always remember him as a true friend and a loyal classmate. He is a persistent, persevering fellow who believes in doing all chores which are assigned him thoroughly and com- petently. Kurt was a sports enthusiast and was seen at all games doing his share of cheering for C.H.S. team. As for his scholastic ability, we haven ' t seen a quarter yet that he didn’t get 5 or 6 testimonials. As a vocation he has chosen engineering. We are sure that his record at Worcester Tech will be as remarkable as his record at C.H.S.

Although he never believed in overtaxing the brain, he kept his marks above the danger point and away from Satan ' s door. He always took an active part in all school socials and sports. His favorite pastime was bowling, and according to all reports few could equal his record in this sport. We wish him success in everything he undertakes. French Club; Tau Sigma ; Photography Club.

Officers were chosen by the members of the Circle and plans for the remainder of the year were made. Such interesting programs as debates, lec- tures, and movies were scheduled and proved both interesting and educational. We are looking forward with pleasure to that annual trip to Provincetown which v ill climax the club s activities. This year Tau Sigma was organized early in March, once again under the direction and supervision of Mr. Gor- don. James ' Streak” O’Toole was elected President and Thomas Fallon, Treasurer. Thereafter, on Monday evenings, meetings were held at which informal talks on etiquette were given. These discussions proved beneficial to all members. A social event in June will climax our series of meetings. We wish to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Gordon for the help he has given us through this club and the interest he has taken in us during our High School days. TAU S I G M A Le Cercle Francais On October 21, the big class of seven French IV pupils gathered in Room 8 and under the supervision of Miss Mary M. Kerrigan organ- ized LE CERCLE FRANCAIS. At this initial meeting the following officers were elected: Marjorie Popp, President; Marjorie O ' Malley, Vice-President; Marjorie Sachse, Secretary; and Jenny Pappas, Treasurer. The purpose of the club is to further the op- portunities of those students who have attained a certain proficiency in the French language. All meetings are conducted in French to enable the pupils to improve their command of the spoken language. And who will ever forget that afternoon of December 11, 1946, when 21 brave Seniors tak- ing French III were initiated into this group, causing a mild uproar on the main street of Clinton and also in Room 8 of C. H. S.? Meetings are held every other week and dues are collected so that at the end of the year, The French Circle may travel to Seiler ' s Ten Acres for its annual banquet which is one of the highlights of the school year. S li ii vv F r i! s li in ;i ii I n I i! r - li I a s s May 5, 1944 — The Clinton High School Athletic Council presented Youth on Parade for the annual inter-class dramatic event. We were Freshmen that year, and with much fine talent and spirit among our class members, our presentation Freshman Follies” proved successful and was very well received. Members of our class taking part in it were Dorothy LaBombard, Marie Lowrey, Barbara Dippold, Kenny Stew- art, Joseph Mos a, Rita Phillie and George Sawers. Included in the program were vocal, piano and accordion solos, and novelty numbers. We are all proud to look back to that year and watch the progress made by our class in school activities since we started out as Freshmen back in 1944. In February, a group of Latin students as- sembled to form the first chapter of the Latin Classical Club, under the sponsership of Miss He ' en Bachose Officers elected were John F. Burke, President, Nicholas Cecchini, Vice-Presi- dent; Louis Guadagnoli, Treasurer; Joseph Za- drozny, Secretary; Emilio Mastrodomenico and Daniel Mitchell, consuls. The purpose of the Club was to promote greater interest in the culture, philosophy, and language of our ancient fathers in order that we might more fully understand and appreciate our modern civilization. Emphasis was placed on the intellectual rather than on the social aspect, hence mem- bership was restricted to testimonial pupils in the advanced Latin classes. Meetings were devoted to interesting and ed- ucational lectures and moving pictures. The ac- tivities of the club were climaxed by a trip to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. he Band The Clinton High School Band was organized in 1944 and won the immediate acclaim of students and townspeople. Its presence on the Football Field proved to be a great inspiration to the team as they marched on to victory after victory. In its first major competition, the Band won two first prizes, one for the top Majorette and one for the best band. Is it any wonder then that we say, Hats Off to The Band. JUNIOR PR O M June 20, 1946, brought forth one of the most beautiful events ever to be staged at the Town Hall . . . the Junior Prom. Proudly we say it was our class, the Class of 47, who worked so diligently to make this event a success. And a success it was with the huge, magic Crystal Ball which the townspeople thronged to see. The onlookers, upon entering the hall, were amazed at the apparent transformation that had occured some time during the day . . . the lights were dimmed on the dancers . . . the girls in beautiful gowns and the boys in smart tuxedos. From the skylight extended a rainbow of streamers to form a coverlet for those below, adding to this heavenly atmosphere. From the stage, half hidden by greens and plants, came the delightful music of Roy Hendrickson and his Orchestra, which gave the finishing touches to this affair. As all good things must come to an end, so did this and we realized that the Prom we had planned and dreamed of for three years had passed, but as we look through our book of memories, this event will be long remembered by us as one of the most outstanding of our High School days. 9j 9 Jiai My Way” Sen ors would take over the last quarter.

Dave Gannon s Brush chugged painfully up to the gate at Fuller Field and Mr. Dyer, the gatekeeper, demanding the usual fee for automobiles, called out, A dollar for the car.

It has often been the dream of our coach in the past to have such a great number of candi- dates report for training. Now, at last, the dream has come true. From this group was to be selected a team to carry on last year ' s tradition; a tradi- tion which is and will be in years to come hard to excel, for then we not only won the Midland League pennant, but also the State Championship. Initiating the 1946 season in a scrimmage game with Shrewsbury, Clinton High gave promise of becoming a top-notch football team. Together with the acquisition of Mr. O Brien as a line coach and the return of veteran players, strength and spirit were added to the team. Seniors on the squad were Capt. Danny Driscoll, Robert Donohue, Joe Mosa, Patsy Vitone, Tony and Jerry Santoro, Tom Fallon, Streak O Toole, William Gavin, Louis Guadagnoli, William McNamara, Jonkers McNally, Robert Lang, Richard Hutchinson, John Dowd, John Moran, Carter Breed. Clint (i n- 7 Gardner-iM A veteran Gardner High School eleven un- leashed its experience and power to roll over a fighting Clinton team by 17 points. Three of the four touchdowns came in the first half, the first one as a conclusion to 7 line plunges start- ing from Gardner’s own 44 yard marker. For the second tally, on our 30 yard line, Joe Gibo tossed a pass to Art Hurd who raced over and scored. Before the half ended, Gardner scored a third time on a pass from Norskey to La For- tune which was deflected by Joe Mos a, trying to intercept it, and landed in the hands of the antagonist who went but a few yards to score. Clinton ' s points came late in the second quarter, when Gardner was forced to kick on its own 35 yard line. Jack Hughes, at this mo- ment, broke through the line fast and blocked the kick, the ball rolling back to the 10 yard marker. The Green and Gold hit the line for 7 yards, then scored on the succeeding play, on a pass from Donahue to Driscoll, and Litterio converted. Gardner again tallied in the third quarter after a fumble on our 7 yard line. This game proved to us one thing, namely: “The worst foe of any team is overconfidence.’ I! I in iii ii - i 1 Nil tick-7 After a week of arduous training and a thorough review of the plays, Clinton met Na- tick before a crowd of 6,000 spectators at Fuller Field. Led by the accurate passing of quarterback Bob Donahue and the shifty run- ning of Captain Danny Driscoll, Clinton was on its way toward a second Midland League Gridiron Championship in two successive years. Sure-fisted Tom Fallon went over for the first T.D., following a completed Donahue pass on the six yard marker. The next score originated with Patsy Vitone ' s interception on Natick ' s 38 yard line. Losing five yards on the succeeding play, the boys took to the air, scoring on a Donahue pass to Danny Driscoll who ran some 30 yards to tally. With Litterio converting again, the score read 13-0 at the end of the first quarter. Late in the second period, on Natick ' s 36 yard line, formidable Tony Santoro recovered a fumble which was converted into a T.D. This time Joe Mosa snared a bullet pass on the 10 yard line and went over. An extra point was acquired by conversion. At this point of the game — late in the third quarter — Natick amassed all its power for a 15 yard touchdown run and the conversion. Clinton wasn’t satisfied with having but 20 points; therefore, in the closing minutes of the game Danny ran back a Natick punt 30 yards for a T.D. The Galloping Gaels played like profes- sionals every minute of the contest. Ii I i ii t ii ii - ' Mil In nl- II The Green and Gold successfully defended their Midland League title for the second time this season, as they nosed out a big, highly underrated Milford High School eleven 7-0 un- der the lights, before a throng of 5,000 sports fans. Our lone touchdown was set up early in the second quarter, when we took possession of the pigskin on our 46 yard line. A first down on the next play brought us to Milford ' s 36 yard line and set the stage for a T.D. On the following play, the heavy Milford line held us to two yards. However, Donahues pass to rangy Fallon set the ball on the contender ' s 15 yard line. Patsy Vitone ploughed through to the four, where Vetras, replacing in|ured Vi- tone, brought the ball to the one yard marker on the following play. Donahue then went over for a T.D. on a quarterback sneak. The edu- cated toe of Patsy Litterio again produced the extra point. We won — 7-0. Ill i nl ii ii -i 1 1) St. Bernard’s -7 Irving Wright ' s 95 yard runback of an inter- cepted pass highlighted the Green and Gold ' s triumph under the lights at Fuller Field, before an overflowing crowd of 7,000. The Clinton conquest knocked the favorite St. Bernard ' s team out of the unvanquished ranks, while it added win number three to our victory col- umn. As in last year ' s tilt, the St. Bernard ' s eleven scored and took the lead early in the initial period. On the two plays following the antag- onist ' s tally, Clinton took to the air with Dona- hue fading back to pass on our 25 yard line and hurling a touchdown pass to fleet-footed Driscoll on the opponent ' s 45 yard line. Dris- coll s catch will be well remembered as a spectacular one, for the ball just nicked his finger tips and seemed to stick. At the half the score was 6-6. C 1 i n t is ii - d I) Taking advantage of a Bartlett fumble on the opening kickoff, in six plays Clinton cov- ered 36 yards for its initial touchdown, with Patsy Vitone doing the brunt of the ball carry- ing. The conversion was good and we led 7-0. We capitalized on a bad Bartlett pass from center and recovered on their 20 yard line. Four plays later, Tom Paulino streaked through the right side of the line for a touchdown. The conversion was successful and now we boasted a 1 4-0 lead. The Green and Gold gridsters made a sen- sational comeback midway in the third period, when Tommy Fallon took a short pass over the center of the line to put the ball on the contender ' s 33 yard line. By the hard and shifty running of Marty Wright and Patsy Vit- one, the ball was advanced to the three yard line. A penalty on the next play put the ball back to the 8. It was the 4th down and Dona- hue faded to his left in an attempt to pass. Find- ing no one clear, he decided to run, just going over for a touchdown. After the conversion, the score then stood 13-6 in our favor. Not until the fourth period did Wright run 95 yards after an interception to raise the score to 20. During this game John Dowd, a regular linesman, suffered a broken collar bone and his services were lost to us for the rest of the season. Wg h s 1 g r - 0 We tallied again early in the third period, when Tom Paulino again raced through center and out-ran the adversary’s secondary defense for a 55 yard jaunt to score. Another victory - 20 - 0 . At this point of the season, it is but proper to give mention to the cheer leaders. It was their animation and vivacity that s purred the team on to victory. Among this group of girls we find a quartet of seniors — Joan Flynn, Mary Moran, Teresa Pianowski and Helen Re- gonini. I! I ill I INI - I i 1 fil. II I! I ' ll ill ' ll s- 1 J After successfully stopping a last quarter St. Bernard ' s drive on their own five yard line, .he Gaels then lost a 13 io 12 decision during ,he closing 30 seconds of play. When the adver- sary ' s co-captain burst through the line io block and recover a punt in ihe end zone, .he Fitchburg team triumphed. St. Bernard ' s accounted for ihe first score and after knocking thrice on ihe Saint ' s door, with Paulino carrying, we put ihe ball over for a score. St. Bernard ' s led 7 to 6. In the third period, a pass from Bob O’Mal- ley to Fallon on ihe antagonist ' s 5, set the stage for the second tally. On the succeeding play, O ' Malley scored and Clinton led up to rhe last 30 seconds of play by a score of 12 to 7. Frior to the scoring plays, Clinton lost its star field general, Bob Donahue. He suffered a broken wrist and finis was written to his High School football career. I! I i ill ii ii - II li i! ii in i iislnr- 1 II This conflict will go down in the annals of gridiron history as a perfect example of a good, clean, hard-fought football game. That v as the opinion of 10,000 spectators. Leominster scored once in the second period and twice in the fourth. The defensive playing of both clubs was superb, with many spectacu- lar tackles being produced by the linesmen. Irving Wright, husky center, was the defen- sive star of the Gael s line, while Patsy Vitone came up from the secondary to make a great number of tackles with Wright. The whole team played inspired football, but lost to a better club. Let us not overlook the brilliant performances of Leominster ' s Salvatore, London, Tucker and Wonkka. I ! I in In ii - i !l II n il s ii ii - II Held scoreless during the first half, the Green and Gold gridsters came charging back in the second half and scored two iouchdowns to gain a 13 to 0 triumph over on underrated Hudson team. The initial score came in the third period when Capt. Driscoll kicked to the antagonist ' s 14 yard line. Hudson was penalized and the ball was placed on the 3 yard line. From there they punted to their 20 yard line and Jerry San- toro, a hard-working quarterback, galloped to the goal line for our first touchdown. A center plunge failed to acquire the extra point. Early in the fourth period, the Galloping Gaels started their 82 yard touchdown march made possible by Bill McNamara ' s intercep- tion. It was brought to a climax when Jerry Santora faded back and threw a 9 yard pass to end, Lawrence D Olimpio, who went over for the score. The successful conversion made the score 13-0. Another victory! C 1 i n t ii n - 1 3 Fitchhurq-14 For the second time this season, the last- minute-of-play jinx caught up with our squad, as Fitchburg rallied in the final seconds of the contest to eke out a 14-13 victory at Crocker Field before 3,500 fans. Shortly after the opening kickoff, Fitchburg tallied, but her lead was shortlived because Clinton scored twice to take the lead 13-6. F 1 i n t ii n - 3 1 Amid the thunderous roar of cheers from 8,000 fans, the defending Midland League Champions ran true to form and overwhelmed Maynard High in the Thanksgiving Day classic, 31-0. Clinton started its scoring in the opening minute of play and seemed to score at will The initial touchdown was accomplished when Driscoll scooped up a Santora pass and ran five yards to paydirt. A pass set up the next touchdown with Streak O Toole, the re- ceiver, bringing the ball to the five and Patsy Vitone plunging over from that point. Victory seemed certain until the final minute of the game. Fitchburg won 14-13. M a y n a r il - (I from then on. With every member of the team contributing his share, Vitone, Driscoll, Paulino and D Olimpio piled up the big score. Credit must be given to the splendid work of the substitutes. They give promise of making next year’s team a victorious one. II ll i: t n i i. i. Following a highly successful football season, Clin- SCHEDULE ton s stellar athletes turned to basketball. More than forty candidates answered the initial call to basketball practice Among the Seniors on the team were Tom Shaughnessy, Vincent Costello, John McNally and James Dickhaut. The same fighting spirit that characterized our foot- ball teams prevailed. Games were fast and spirited and although our young, inexperienced team did not pile up too impressive a record, it carried on in the true Clinton tradition. Since most of this year s regulars are available for another year of varsity competition, we are looking forward to a banner season next year. OPPONENT CLINTON Shrewsbury 28 21 Vorc.
