Many of our class will always remember our sophomore year above any other for its elec- tion novelty, for its heart warming lnter-class dramatics and especially for its leading the way to one of the most important things in life- graduation. JUNIOR YEAR We had reached the halfway mark in our High School career. No longer were we shy freshmen or wise fools, but mature Juniors. Fully organized, we were raring to go and ready to swing into our first big year. We decided that our class colors would be blue and silver. Ours was to be one of the most active classes ever to be graduated from Clinton High. We had this idea in mind when we established our Junior newspaper which was a huge success. Although the profit was nil, we succeeded in making our class immensely popular. The fall and winter months passed in a busy round of activity. Several of our classmates were either cheerleaders or on the football team. We selected a Class Ring Committee and in February we received our rings much to the complete pleasure of everyone. Now we had the official badge to prove we were almost seniors. ln June we held our first big activity - the Junior Prom. The new officers - President, Peter Maitland, Vice-President, Barbara Teece, Secretary, Eva Cecchini, Treasurer, Edward Duplin-led the grand march. Amidst a grand array of blue and silver papers, the class danced, while the huge crystal ball turned merrily above, casting rainbow colors on one of the most enjoyable Proms ever held. At the close of the last quarter we left school with happy memories of our Junior year and great expectations of the year that was to be a milestone in our young lives - l95O. SENIOR YEAR How diligently we had worked to win the title of Senior which at last was ours. How- ever, the feeling of pride and achievement was tinged with sadness. Our graduation would bring to an end the many friendships and social ties we had made among our classmates. At the beginning of the year Peter Maitland was again elected as President, also Barbara Teece as Vice-President, but we had a new Secretary and Treasurer: Betty Grealis and Earl Wilson, respectively. Our class book staff was chosen and set to work ardently in order to fulfill the responsibility placed upon them to make our MEMORABILIA one to be truly proud of. Our first event was a Senior Hop held in February and was, by the efforts of the Seniors, a huge success. After this it was rush, rush, rush, with so much to do and so little time in which to do it. Class pictures, caps and gowns, graduation rehearsals, frequent class meetings were only part of the mad whirl of our preparation for graduation. We held our banquet at the Sheraton Hotel. We knew that at graduation the poignant memories of beautiful songs and hushed silence would always be remembered. Graduation at last! All nature smiled at us. The trees and flowers gave off their beauty and delight to wish us well. The world is ours. May we make it a good place!
