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.

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.

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.

VIRGINIA AGNES GASPARIAN COMMERCIAL COURSE “Nay, I shall never be aware of mine own wit ’Til I break my shins against it.” Twinkling brown eyes, a smiling, dimpled face and rippling laughter — put them all together and you get “Virge,” our actress, who played a prominent part in Inter-class Dramatics both Junior and Senior years. Her fun-loving sunny disposi- tion has earned, for her, many friends. She was always present at class functions and always ready to get into the spirit of things. “Virge’s” future is still undecided but whatever it is, best wishes from the Class of ' 49.

The convertible, along with his prized red hair, accounts for his numerous friends. He was one of the first boys in our class to enlist in the National Guard and has achieved the rank of Sergeant. Happy sailing, “Foo,” from the Class of ' 49. Photography Club — History Circle - — Le Cercle Francais — Tau Sigma NICHOLAS GEORGESON COLLEGE COURSE “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” “Nick,” with his good nature, natural wit, and excellent appearance, has made many friends during his school years. He is a constant and loyal supporter of all High School activ- ities and we hear from a reliable source that he is also an ardent baseball fan. Whatever career claims him, the Class of ' 49 wishes him the very best of luck. Photography Club — History Circle — Tau Sigma ELIZABETH ANN GIBBONS COLLEGE COURSE “Popularity lasts forever.” “Betty” can always be found where there is fun and laugh- ter; at school, at dances, or at athletic events. Her charming personality has won her many friends, and although “Betty” took part in many social activities, she managed to keep her marks up to par. We feel sure that whatever field she chooses, she will attain her goal. Good luck, “Betty,” from “49.” Photography Club — History Circle — Le Cercle Francais — Junior Prom Committee ■ — Junior Marshal
