GlaU dliAioswi S E P T EMBER, 1944 The future Class of 1948 was registered mid much bewilderment which certainly be- gan an epoch in our lives. Freshman year was the most exciting and emotional . . . everything had that zest that comes of doing something for the first time . . . Latin. Algebra, and Science. Open- ing day with its usual hustle and bustle arriv ed. We first saw the upper classmen and realized they were to have a day of fun glaring at us. mis-dirccting us and watch- ing us rush to classes. We survived, as everyone knew we would except ourselves. Football games claimed our interest im- mediately. Photography Club assemblies were new to us as was the High School Band, led In our competent Freshman Eleanor Buck. Didn ' t we display our hidden talents at that Thanksgiving Show Mr. O’Toole so ably arranged? And wasn’t our Band Something New? Our first mid-years left us with the realiza- tion that High School was not all play and that some of us would surely have to study harder for the remainder of the year. Aside from that, we were not allowed to assert ourselves, but only partake of the partie- and dances of our upper classmen and anxiouslv await our turn. S E P T E M B E R , 19 4 5 I he war was over and we found ourselves back to school once more cm Registration Day, but what a difference a year made. Now we strutted around as though we owned the 1 place, trying to impress and awe the Freshmen. We were allowed to have Class Officers, and after much campaigning chose: John Hughes for President, Joyce Freitag for Vice-President, William LeFebvre for Treas- urer. and Mary Kittredge for Secretary. Once more the football season was on and this year our team won the State C Championship and also the Midland League Championship. Basketball was brought back and we enjoyed many a game at the Armory. The ( llass Colors . . . red and white . . . were c hosen and a banner was presented to us which we proudly displayed at the head of our Class in a school parade and athletic field day. ( )ur Band played at all the football games and proved to be- quite a success. Mid-year exams rolled around before we knew it, but we came out with flying colors. Attending the Junior and Senior Class functions oc- cupied our days, when we weren’t plugging and yearning to become Juniors. S E P T E M BER, 19 4 6 Hurrah! At last we were upper classmen and what a wonderful Junior year we had! We first re-elected our Class Officers and decided to run a series of dances after the football games. John Hughes, our President, successfully managed these. We picked our Class Rings and Class Motto and set about to prepare for the Prom when suddenly our Class Banner couldn’t be found. Quickly we set about making a bigger and better one. Once more our football team brought the Midland League banner home to us. Bas- ketball and baseball occupied our minds. Something new was added to C. H. S. this term ... a Girls’ Softball Team. The team was victorious in the few games it played. Also a Latin-Classical Club was formed by M iss Bachose and membership was by honor grades only, nevertheless, many of the pupils had the opportunity to join. Our Prom was the most exciting and glorious highlight of our social events. We invited the Seniors to attend as is the custom. We spent hours and hours of planning and arranging and decorating, but not in vain, for our Prom proved to be a tremendous success. Ten lucky honor pupils of the Junior Class were invited to go on a trip with the Senior honor pupils. They visited many in- teresting places and were awarded silver pins. All expressed the resolution to keep their marks high in order that they might also go next year. Graduation came and several of the Junior girls were Junior Marshals and looked lovely in their white dresses and red rose corsages. Thus ended our Junior year. SEPTEMBER, 19 4 7 This is the year of all years . . . yep . . . 1947-1948, the year of our graduation from dear old Clinton High School. As Seniors we are now the “big-wheels” of the school. We walk through the corridors with that air of self-confidence and superior- ity that only Seniors can possess. Yes, we are proud to be the Class of 1948. 4 his year is naturally jam-packed with many glad happenings. Following the series of football dances our first big event was the Thanksgiving Show and then the Interclass Dramatics at Christmas time. For the first time in several years, Interclass Dramatics were revived. The gala opening was set for Friday, December 26, but due to a blizzard, the show was postponed to the following Friday night. As only New Englanders really know New England weather, another blizzard prevailed and the show was postponed again. However, the show must go on and so it did with the Senior Class taking the prize. Our Class photographer, Sargent, patiently put us through our favorite poses and then . . . Mid-years. Afterwards, well you know the old story of Seniors after mid-years. No cares, no worries — or so we thought until third quarter marks came out. But we managed to strug- gle through. Our Fourth Quarter was a worry to M iss Driscoll who prepared us for Graduation and of course we’ll never forget Commencement Week with our History Circle trip, Banquet, and ourselves as guests of the Junior Prom. c w A !i L L S Know All Men by these presents : We, the Class of 1948 of Clinton High School, Clinton, in the County of Worcester and Com- monwealth of Massachusetts, being of sound and disposing minds, declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all wills hereto- fore made bv us: To the Faculty we bequeath-.

At our initial meet- ing we elected Francis Cipriani as President, and Roeco DiMeco as Treas- urer.

Early in December, the second annual chapter of the Latin Classical Club was formed under the guid- ance of Miss Helen Bachose. From the Senior Latin class the following officers were chosen: Walter Sny- der, President; Joyce Freitag, Vice-President; Wil- liam McEvilly, Treasurer; Margaret Weidner, Sec- retary. Initiations were held at the next meeting and the Latin III and Honor Latin II pupils cheerfully sub- mitted to their mythological tasks amid the hilarious uproars of those who were charter members of the club. The same purpose was promulgated — to promote greater interest in the culture, philosophy, and lan- guage of our ancient fathers in order that we might fully understand and appreciate our modern civil- ization. Meetings were devoted to the intellectual rather than social aspect and lectures were enjoyed. A cultural trip was planned as the final event in June.

This club is com- posed of the pupils taking French IV and Seniors taking French III, who are united in the common cause of furthering their knowledge of French cul- ture. On the third of February, 1948, Le Cercle Fran- cais gathered and elected Walter Jaros as witty and fluent French president; Nancy Spencer as charming and intelligent vice-president; Margaret Duffy as ef- ficient secretary and Charles Kittredge as honest treasurer. The initiation of the French III pupils took place on March 2 with Seniors having no mercy but big appetites for the refreshments. In June the banquet took place. To Mile. Kerrigan we say “Merci beaucoup for her efforts to teach us more than “Parlez-vous fran- qais.” One of the greatest crowds ever to attend a Junior Prom in Fallon Memorial Audi- torium was there to witness the illumina- tion of the largest crystal ball in the country and to dance to the music of Don Calvi ' s orchestra. The stage was decorated with beautiful, red and white, potted Martha Washington geraniums; and the arched entrance lent a sense of sublimity. The grand march, under the capable direction of Lewis S. Gordon, Jr., was the highlight of the evening. The bright hued spotlight beams reflected from the mirrors of the crystal ball made varied colored designs upon the pastel gowns of the young ladies and the more somber garb of the usually forgotten gentlemen. A delightful evening was enjoyed by all in attendance and the Prom will undoubtedly be regarded by pos- terity as the precedent of all modern Junior Proms. i I. 1, F I) II T II ST. PETER S 6 — CLINTON 0 Clinton High ' s Green and Gold, though suffering a 6-0 defeat in the season ' s opening game against St. Peter ' s High of W orcester, displayed a team-work of passing, running and playing that far outshone that of its opponent. In the second period a St. Peter ' s pass resulted in the only score of the game. Twice Clinton threatened the Pur- ple ' s goal with the ball on the 5-yard line but time ran out on both tries. Tom Paulino and Marty W right at the halfback positions did most of the ball carrying, w hile passes from Chuck Moran to ends Bob Williamson and Jack Hughes gained most of Clinton ' s yardage. NATICK 12 — CLINTON 6 The Clinton High team being far outweighed by their opponents was de- feated by Natick in the second game of the season. In the first quarter a Clinton punt was blocked and recovered by Natick on the Clinton 21 -yard line resulting in a Natick touchdown. Still in the first period a Clinton pass was inter- cepted and again Natick scored. In the second half the ( Hinton eleven acquired a new fighting spirit as they took the ball on their own 47-yard line and marched 5 5 yards for a touch- flown. With Tom Paulino, Jim Mc- Nallv, and Bob O’Malley carryin g the ball, Clinton ripped ofl 4 consecutive first downs to put the ball on the Natick two-yard line where Chuck Moran ploughed over for the only Clinton score. CLINTON 32 — ST. MARY S 0 An inspired Clinton took the field and romped over St. Mary’s High of Waltham, 32-0. The Clinton High team for the first time this season showed what it was really made of. Clinton scored in every period dis- playing tremendous power in the air and on the ground. In the first period Tom Paulino took the opening kick off on his own 10-yard line and raced down the field to St. Mary ' s 20-yard line. He fumbled the ball at that point but tackle John itone set up the scoring play when he recovered the ball on St. Mary ' s 9-yard line. Paulino raced around left end for the touchdown. Pat Litterio conver ted for the extra point. In the second period a pass from Moran to W illiam- son set up another touchdown. The rest of the game was a repetition of Clinton power with 9 out of 14 passes completed and 16 first downs to St. Mary’s 1.

Clinton scored on the first play of the game when Tom Paulino ran 54 yards for a touchdown. On that run Tom received effective block- ing all the way down the field, es- pecially the final block tossed by John Vitone. Pat Litterio s conversion went wide. Now it is about time the line got its much deserved credit. It was the sturdy play of the line which en- abled the Clinton backs to rip off large gains time and again. Big John Vitone, Pat Litterio, Lawrence D’Olimpio, Jack Hughes, and Jim Malatos tore open big holes in the Bartlett line ail night long allowing the ball carriers to streak through. Center, Bob Boyn- ton, intercepted a Bartlett pass and ran it back to their 30-yard line. Ray Serewicz on a beautiful run gained to Bartlett’s 8-yard line and again to the 1 where Buddy Ernst pushed over for the touchdown. CLINTON 0 — MILFORD 0 A strong Milford eleven although outplayed by a wide magin held Clin- ton High to a scoreless tie. Penalties played havoc with the Green and Gold eleven. Both teams battled around mid-field until late in the sec ond quarter when the Clinton High eleven threw a real scare into the Mil- ford fans when Bob O’Malley received a lateral pass from Chuck Moran and heaved a long pass to Lawrence D ' Olimpio on the 4-yard line. It cov- ered a distance of 50 yards. Chuck Moran then went over for a touch- down but Clinton was off side on the play and the ball was placed back on the 7 -yard line. The Milford line then stiffened and again Clinton was pen- alized for too long in the huddle. All during the third period Clinton was the aggressor with Milford threatening onl in the last minutes of the game, but when the game ended the Clinton line was still holding. CLINTON 14 — SHREWSBURY 0 The Clinton Green and Gold cap- tured its third win of the season from Shrew sbur High. 14-0. The gun of the backtield was Jim McNally, as Clinton scored in the hrst period on a 48 yard drive. McNally then recover- ed a fumble on the Shrewsbury 28- yard line. Chuck Moran. Clinton ' s mystic quarterback, threw a pass to Bob Williamson in the end zone for another score and the unfailing Pat Litterio converted both times. Jack Hughes. John Vitone, and Pat Litterio were the outstanding linemen for Clinton. CLINTON 14 — HUDSON 6 Fresh from their victory over Shrewsbury the Clinton High eleven next proceeded to beat a strong Hud- son High team. It looked like an up- set for Clinton when Hudson began a fast running attack. The Clinton line then tightened up and Buddy Ernst took the ball and ran 58 yards for a touchdown behind the spectacular blocks of Paulino, Litterio, Vitone, and McNally. Again with Polack. O Mallev, McNally, and Paulino al- ternating in the backfield. Clinton pushed over for the second score. Hudson made its only score when they to the air against the subs. CLINTON 6 — FITCHBURG 6 Although Clinton was considered the underdog, the Green and Gold eleven held a highly favored Fitch- burg team to a 6-6 tie on a rain- drenched field. 1 he visitors made their touchdown when they recovered a a blocked kick in the end zone. In the second half the Clinton team took to the air. Passes from O ' Malley and Moran to the ends, W illiamson and Hughes, gave Clinton a touchdown making the score 6-6. Both teams were battling for an opening on the muddy field when the game ended. CLINTON 19 — MAYNARD 7 Thanksgiving Day saw the ' swiftest offensive to be displayed on Fuller Field this season, when Clinton scored in the first two minutes of the game. Buddy Ernst. Irving W right, and Jim McNally paced the (been and (fold eleven to pile up 15 first downs. Jim McNally broke into the open, in the second period, and raced 37 yards for a touchdown. The blocking and teamwork of the line was excellent. John Vitone, and Pat Litterio, both of whom were selected to play on the County All-Star Team, were the out- standing linemen. Clinton ' s final score came on a 45 yard drive when Buddy Ernst went over for another score and Harry Haroian, in the next peri- od, plunged to the 18, but lost the ball on downs, Maynard scored in the last period making the score 19-7.

The Clinton High School team after surprising the fans with their string of victories, went on to win third place for the Midland League Title and was slightly edged out in the tournament by North Brookfield at Assumption College, Wor- cester. The Clinton J. V.’s won the Midland League Title with fourteen wins and two defeats but let the records of both teams speak for themselves.
