EUPHEMIA ANITA ELIA GENERAL COURSE “Be carefree and gay That’s always my way.” “Famie” is one of our loquacious personages who hails from that well-known part of town — Burditt Hill. Letter “I” of our cheerleaders, she is one of the reasons ours has been a cham- pionship football team again this year. With her splendid per- sonality, sincerity, and kindness, “Famie” has acquired many friends in Clinton High School. She plans to become a “wom- an in white” and we see only success for her in this profes- sion. Good luck, “Famie,” from the Class of ’49.

He is among the most popular boys in our class, and through this popularity has gained the office of Class Treasurer in both our Junior and Senior years. He is one of the top stars of the Clinton High School football squad and has gained many a victory for us by his speedy punt returns. “Bud,” with his dimpled smile and unassuming nature, will long be remembered as tops by the Class of ’4S.

His sunny disposition and friendly smile are qualities well-known by his classmates and he is usually the center of rollicking laughter in and out of school. Leo is, at all times, well-dressed and well-groomed. He may be seen daily working at the local A. P. keeping the customers and employees happy. He plans to enter St. Michael’s College, and the Class of ' 49 wishes him the best of luck. Photography Club — History Circle — Debating Society — Tau Sigma WILFRED GEORGE FLOYD COLLEGE COURSE “A lion among ladies is a dangerous thing.” Among the Lancaster contributions to Clinton High, we find “Bob,” a tall, dark, and handsome vet, whose shyness and ex- ceptionally nice personality make him well-liked by all. When the office clock reads 8:07 and the tardy bell has just sounded, “Bob” will be seen just pulling up to the curb in his flashy Chrysler convertible. “Bob” is scheduled to enter Boston Uni- versity next September, and with him go the best wishes of the Class of ’49.

Ethel has always been an active member of our class, and her contribution to the Clinton High School Band cannot be overlooked. No social affair would be complete without the presence of this witty, gay miss. Ethel is a true friend, and is always an interested listener to the problems of her classmates. Ethel plans to enter training after gradua- tion, and will console many a patient with her humor. Good luck, “Durk,” from the Class of ’49.

He is a good- natured fellow, with a “Hello” for everyone. He intends to further his education at a college yet to be chosen. Best of luck, John, from the Class of ’49.

TECHNICAL COURSE “Few things are impossible To diligence and skill.” A gentleman with a smile at all times. “Ray has been a great help to the Class of ’49, and his popularity with his classmates was proved when he was chosen the class treasurer in his Sophomore year. He has participated in football, and has always been a loyal fan at other sports events. We know “Ray” has a great future before him, and the Class of 49 shall long remember their loyal classmate.

MARY ELIZABETH GABOURY COL LEGE COURSE ‘‘Just me— carefree — happy as a lark.” A vivacious, brown-eyed, fun-loving girl, Mary, with her pleasing personality has won a host of friends at Clinton High School. She has been an enthusiastic supporter of our athletic teams, and has contributed greatly to the success of our social activities. Mary’s ambition is to become a medical secretary, and we feel that our loss is the medical profession’s gain. Photography Club — History Circle — Le Cercle Francais — Thanksgiving Show 1 ELEANOR VIVIAN GAMARSH COMMERCIAL COURSE “She makes the somber halls resound With gales of carefree laughter.” Eleanor seems to be a shy, quiet girl, but Heaven help the unfortunate persons who sit beside her at a football game. The din is terrific. She has a wonderful sense of humor, is popular, and well-liked by her classmates. Eleanor manages to keep her marks up to average and we expect her to do well in whatever work she takes up after graduation. Best of luck, Eleanor, from the Class of ’49. Photography Club — History Circle — Band 1, 2 ELINOR MARIE GANNON COLLEGE COURSE “She was athletic and studious, so it seemed. Wise, good-natured and esteemed.” One of the outstanding members of our class, with a mis- chievous grin and hearty laugh — that’s Elinor. Her popular- ity is proof of her gay humor and cordiality, while her high scholastic record shows her patience and perseverance. A pleasing manner, and a sparkling wit will be missed by all when we bid Elinor best wishes for her future at the Univer- sity of Massachusetts.

She is an all-round sports enthusiast and a regular attendant at all Clinton High School events. She is often seen around town driving a classy new convertible Buick. Jean plans to enter Barry College, where we predict for her many friends and much success. As the Class of ' 49 leaves Clinton High School, we are both proud and happy that Jean is one of us.
