MURPHY, OUR CAPABLE ADVISOR, TRUSTED FRIEND, AND CLASS CONFIDANT, THIS EDITION OF MEMORABILIA IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED. FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS, MR. MURPHY HAS UNSELFISHLY DEDICATED HIMSELF TO HIS APPOINTED TASK, A TASK WHICH HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED AGAINST SOMETIMES SEEMINGLY INSURMOUNTABLE ODDS BUT WHICH HAS BEEN CULMINATED WITH SUCCESS, IT WAS A .IOB THAT REQUIRED CLASS CO-OPERATION AND LOYALTY AND WE HOPE THAT THIS YEARBOOK MAY IN SOME SMALL WAY COMPENSATE HIM FOR HIS TOIL AND EFFORTS IN OUR BEHALF. We leave C. H. S. with many happy thoughts of the four short years that are behind us, and we leave Mr. Murphy appreciation and sincere thanks for the unforgettable memories he has given us and for the fine example he has Ieft us to follow in the years to come, si M1 gpg. Ifigli fi ft EITHER events nor the passage of time will be able to erase from our lives the memory of Francis Duffy, prominent and well-liked member of the Class of 1955. His blithe manner and happy heart will ever remain with us. His untimely death, at St. Vincent Hospital on May 18, 1955, was the result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident, which occurred on May 16th. ' Francis Patrick Duffy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis W. Duffy of 565 Fairmount Street, was born in Clinton on March 8, 1938, the oldest of three children. He attended the Clinton Public Schools and graduated from the Corning Elementary School. In 1951, he entered Clinton High School with the Class of 1955, enrolling in the General Course. His plans for the future were indefinite. Fran, as he was known to his classmates and friends, possessed the quiet attributes of humility and genuine friendliness which won him the respect and admiration of all who knew him. He played an active part in many school and class activities and, in addition, he was a member of the Massachusetts National Guard. When the news of his death reached us, a grief incapable of expression pervaded the lives of all of us. Our feelings may be expressed by words taken from the Roman Missol: rr Incline Thine ear, O Lord, unto our prayers, wherein we humbly pray Thee to rhow Thy merrynupon the roul of Thy rerzfant, Fruncir, whom Thou hart rommanded to pan out of thi: world, that Thou wouldrt plate him in the region of peaee and light, and hid him he a partaher with Thy Saintr. Through Chrirt our Lord. Amen.

Our hearts were saddened in our senior year by his untimely death. Raymond john Lange, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Lange, was born in Clinton, on November 9, 1937. He attended the Forbes School, the Corning School, and entered Clinton High School on September 5, 1951, with the Class of 1955. In Clinton High School, his plans were to matriculate at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. His death in Clinton Hospital in December, 1954, was caused by injuries received in an auto accident. Ray, as he was affectionately called, had a host of friends among his classmates at Clinton High, and his unassuming manner won him the respect and admiration of all who knew him. He played an active part in many school activities, and excelled in his studies, as well. Above all, Ray was a true gentleman. He possessed the warmth of personality and gentleness of demeanor which will be indelibly imprinted in the minds and hearts of all who had the good fortune to have known him. With the passing of Ray, no one could express the grief and emptiness which pervacled the hearts and lives of all of us. We, the graduating class of 1955, therefore, have chosen the words of the poet Robert Hillyer to express our inner feelings for us.

FRESHMAN YEAR As the day of graduation dawns upon us, it is hard to believe that four long years have passed since first we mounted the steps of Clinton High School, as bewildered though eager Freshmen. After we had weathered the inevitable storm of torments and jecrs from the upperelassmen, and had become accustomed to our busy schedule, we began to feel more a part of C. H. S. life, and entered with wholehearted enthusiasm into the many activities that our high school offers. We conducted our first election of officers under the capable direction of our newly chosen advisor, Mr. Robert A. Murphy. As class leaders we chose the following: William Dyer, Presidentg Mary Ellam, Vice-President: William Godard, Treas- urer, and Alice Bradley, Secretary. Time wore on, and, hearing the terrifying rumors of the awe-inspiring 'Midyears, we studied diligently. As a result, the Class of 1955 sailed on through the dreaded exams with flying l'0lOl'S. june approached with amazing speed, and we reveled in the anticipation of the long summer recess, and looked forward with pride to the day when we would become Sophomores. SUPHUMURE YEAR Once again we returned to Clinton High, this time as confident Sophomores. After settling down to another new routine of classes, we held our second electioll of class officers, and the fol- lowing were chosen: William Dyer, President, Mary Ellam, l ir'e-President: Janet Balboni, Sec- retary: and William Godard, Treasurer. We soon entered into the social whirl of football games and dancesg with many members of the class taking part in the annual Thanksgiving Show. ., 1 'sae -Rvgfl - V- W k.2:3:rfa', i N f ' me 'li' e fx P' ' M 4 4-U rf 'Vl'l K Q' ,nv My Mull' pf As our first of the many successful activities to follow., the Class of 1955 conducted a turkey raffle, which established a treasury for us. Midyears held no special terrors for us now, and many of us established a fool-proof system for getting the most done in the least amount of time. Later in the year, we joined forces with the ,Iunior class, and presented a gigantic talent show, entitled Varieties of 1952, which was a complete success. June came once more, another school year had passed, and the long, carefree summer days lay ahead. It was with pride and enthusiasm that we looked toward the future., when we would become Juniors. JUNIOR YEAR September came once more, and the Class of '55, now Juniors, greeted the new year with eagerness. .45 our officers we elected the follow- ing: Edw'ard Mitchell, President, Mary Ellam., Vice-Presirlenl: ,lanet Balboni, Secretary, and Ed- ward Alzapiedi, Treasurer. This was an eventful year in our high school career, and one of our first projects was a candy sale, which made a large profit, due to earnest effort and co-operation on the part of all class members. Many members of '55 became active in sports, and several heroes of the gridiron, base- ball diamond, and basketball court emerged from our ranks. After the routine midyear exams, plans got under way for the annual Junior Promenade, which is the finest social event of the year. We chose Club 55 as our theme, and engaged Billy I,llI'lilIl'S orchestra for dancing. A crystal ball, gay decorations, perfect June weather, and, of course, class spirit, all helped to make our Prom a complete social success. as Another year had quickly passed, one more milestone along the road to graduation day. SENIOR YEAR At last we had attained the worthy title of Senior.', Early in the year we held our election of ofiicers, and reaffirmed our confidence in the following: Edward Mitchell, Presidentg Mary Ellam, Vive-President, ,lanet Balboni, Secretary: and Edward Alzapiedi, Treasurer. Soon we were busily engaged in the many activi- tics which arc part of the life of every senior. After conducting a successful sale of Christmas cards, the Class of '55 staged a mammoth Winter Carnival com ilete with tobo an and skatine v I gg rt races, and prizes, and highlighted by the Senior Hop, which followed the general theme of the event. Dancers swayed to the rhythms of May- , . . pothers orchestra, amid a gay Wllltcl' scene. Needless to say, it was a success. The days passed all too soon, as work began on the traditional Clinton High School yearbook, MEMORABILIA. As graduation day grew nearer. plans were made for the class banquet which was held at the Vifachusett Country Club, and the enjoyable trip to Provincetown. The long-awaited day finally arrived, and our hearts were filled with mingled joy and sadness, because we realized, as we listened to the gradua- tion speakers, that we were leaving Clinton High School forever, but carrying with us a host of pleasant memories. CLASS PROPHECY 47 U 7 'Bijou . Z' re CQ ite-re: C.H.S.-T.V .......... CHANNEL 55 TIME: 19Bll Place: SUGARAMIC BOWL IN THE CENTER OF THE METROPOLIS OF CLINTON. Good evening, viewers of our supersonic tele- vision audience. Tonight we are to look on the historical meeting of the famous SS , who are having their twenty-fifth reunion. Let us begin! Seated as the guest of honor is our former Class Advisor Mr. Murphy, now principal of that new, ultra-modern Clinton High School. His secretary, .loan Fitzgerald, is seated next to him. Here we see the president of all rocket runners from here to Mars, Capt. Chick Cecchini, with his able assistant Brian Morrison, who has recently written the prize-winning novel, I Was a Space Spy for the R. R. I. lRocket Rookies Investi- gatorsl. Getting down to earth, we now see William Dyer and Donald Richards, co-engineers of the first underground tunnel from the U. S. to Europe, complete with all the modern conveniences of People's Paradise, U. S. A., which is under the supervision of that well-known multi-millionaire, Carlton Labbe. In charge of law and order are Capt. Bob Ciciotte of the International Police, and ,Ioe Notaro, famous for his capture of the ten most-wanted criminals. Also seated at this table are Richard Boydack with his business partner, Zig Furmaniuk, who are the envy of all hot-rod owners, because of their original ideas, including the famous fuclless car which runs on radar alone. Now we move to the table set up for celebrities in the sports world. With the aid of the camera we will introduce them to you. Seated at the table is .lim Peete, recent winner of the All-American title, who, after this reunion, is leaving immedi- ately for the dark jungles of Africa on the next guided missile to teach the cannibals the art of pool-playing. Seated next to him is Manager Roddy Kilcoyne of the Atomic Kids, who have won the World Series for ten consecutive years, sparked by the brilliant performances of both Stan Zytkiewicz and Bun Gaughan. Of course, these past twenty-five years have shown that fe- males have come into their own in all sports. This is proven by Donna Lomsby, who broke the hi- jumping record in last year's Olympics. We all know, of course, that Lorraine Murray has given many girls a chance to various titles in athletics as a result of their graduating from her superb physical-education school. Notice the tan on Leslie Blake, who has just come back from the French Riviera, where she was looking for rookies for her baseball team! Ladies and Gentlemen! Look who just came through the magic-eye door! That devil-may- care-playboy Tom Poulos with that three-time Academy Award winner, Lana Lammar, better known as Bette Brodmerkle, on one arm, and the former Miss America, Mary Ruberti, on the other. Coming in in back of them is better late than neuern Richard Cooper, who is employed as a skilled worker in making fancy-coated, flavored toothpicks. That famous surgeon, Dr. Edward Mitchell, of the Mitchell Clinical Center., is now in camera range. He has brought his ingenious staff along with him. They include Lois Hillner, R.N., Super- visor, and ,lane Bianchi, Chief Dietician, who keeps the patients looking forward to mealtime. Carol Renaud is also on this stag. Her primary work is to cheer the patients on to recovery with her sunny disposition. Now we have Judy Coleman, owner of that wonderful charm school. Her well-groomed look and taste for beautiful clothes has won her many an appealing eye. The owner of the wonderful dance studio, June Van Buskirk, is now tripping in with her former prize student, Shirley McGinnis, who is now teach- ing elephants how to Tango on roller skates. Here we have the daredevil of them all - ace pilot Honor Howe in her asbestos suit with neon accessories styled by the artistic designer, Liz Perla. Homemaker of the year, Glenda Plankey, is chatting with her friend, Carmela Pizza, who is telling everyone of her picturesque travels in Sunny Italy. The Tiny Trim Trio,', including Sophie Czer- mak, ,Ioan Calcia, and Lucia Regonini, joint own- ers of a famous beauty salon, are being admired for their chic appearance. Also in the spotlight is Jane Kittredge, owner of the largest jet trucking corporation in the world. Her employees, Ralph Feteiger, capable mc chanic, and Siegfried Meyer, who represents the trucking company in Germany, are also with her. Her very efficient secretary, Ann DiBenedetto is entering wearing an ultra hat creation from Paris, designed by our own Ottillie Hohl, who is present- ly discussing fashions with Marcia Stank. Marcia is now employed as Dean of Women at Lancaster Reformatory. Dignitary Senator Edward Alzapiedi was also in the Class of '55. He will speak tonight on the subject. Memories of the Days Down Moe's. And now we pause for station identification given by that prominent newscaster JI m Brousseau, who came all the way from West Boylston just to he with us. Now back to tl1e bowl. And who is looking so content eating bananas without peels is that one and only Joe Siok, who has devoted his life to making the banana happy. Looking very pleased with themselves are both John Corbosiero and Dave Freel because they have just become double wrestling champions of the world. Believe it or not, folks, they can't win against each other. Chatting with them is Walter Thomas Francis Skinny Prewandowski Esq. who, besides gaining 50 pounds in 25 years, has relieved Bed Auerback of his duties as coach of the Boston Celtics. Ray Sledzik, star of this team has just joined them. Texas oil well owner, David Cooper, is talking to Warren Curly Nelson, who invented the hair tonic which is guaranteed to grow curly hair on the heads of bald men. Robert Brodrick, who took over the job of chief physicist when Mr. McSherry retired, is discussing his latest experiments with his assistant, John 0'Toole, better known as the 'LHuman Test Tube. And now we present our own fashion show. And away we go! Miss Rose Mahan is modeling her own creation-Annie Oakley's Baby Booties. Well, that takes care of the feet. Now, Miss Betty Nadolny is showing us the new craze in hair from here to all planets-the 'LComet Clip. How about some of the latest clothes fashions? Here comes Mary Burke and Ann Friedrich dressed as twin space cadettes in moonbeam-blue outfits with silver stardust helmets. Becoming, arenit they, girls? Frances DeBoer is showing us Venetian shorts. They go from shorts to bermudas with a pull of the cord. Following her is Pat Walsh modeling an iridescent bathing suit with a detachable fish net. Ending the fashion show are Shirley Potter and Margaret Goggins, modeling the fabulous Switch- board Special. This show was enjoyed immensely by both Rear Admiral Chester Nosek and Five Star General Joe Gorski, heroes in the fight against our dreadful enemy, The Martian Invaders. The girls also en- joyed the show, as we see by the expressions on the faces of Janet Stretch Balboni and Mary Shorty,' Ellam, President and Vice-President of the Toppers Club for six-footers. Dramatic teacher, Corinne Masciarelli, is con- versing with her former pupils. They are Mary Henighan, star of the Broadway musical HC. H. S. Review, and co-star, comedienne E. Laine, known to her former classmates as Mary Devaney. Seated with them are the writers of the musical score, Ronald LeBlanc and Edward McDonald. Contralto Soprano, Cathleen Shaughnessy, and her pianist, Gerard Harpin, are glowing with hap- piness because of the very successful concert they gave last night. Robert Dziurgot is sharing in their good fortune because, after all, it was his lavish opera house that made the concert the success it was. Margaret Caiazzi and her lifelong friend, Marsha Hatt, have come through thick and thin together and are now the top two in the 4-00. All the former classmates that are now business- men have flocked together. Let's see who's here. Stan Macora and Louis Kulaga, partners in the Mexican Jumping Bean business, are talking with the rival jelly-bean men, Jonathan Sargent and Thomas Thompson. ,lim DeCesare, new owner of the First National, Bob Shea, owner of the A 81 P. and John McLaughlin of the Super Market are talking about consolidating the three businesses into one. Don Lucht, John McNamara and Larry Cravedi, the world famous interior decorators, are talking about their latest project - remodeling Radio City Music Hall. Last, but not least, before our entertainment, we see five notable missionaries, who have been to all corners of the world. They include Helen Hub- bard, Dora Roseberry, Ralph Haley, Billy Godard, and Jack Wolfe. We will end our program with the best enter- tainment imaginable. The emcees for tonight will be Tom McLaughlin and Francis Coleman. Start- ing ofl' the fun for tonight is that great band that just came back from a long stay at Hampton Beach Casino - Red Mullen and his 6'0ffbeat Orchestraf' It features Laurie Bussey at the piano, Chris Maypother at the drums, Helen Wagner at the trumpet, and their feature vocalist, that croon- cr whose latest hit song, The Low and the Weak, has just sold a million records, John Conlon. The comedy is taken care of by Gerry Kilcoyne. A very fitting song to end tonight's get-together is offered by the Split-tones. They are Janet Hamel, Marie LaBombard, Mary Lizak and Joyce Mitton. Well, folks, that's it for tonight. Be sure to tune in 25 years from now, and we will bring you the fiftieth reunion of this same great Class of '55. GL..

'LH LZOV 4 P VO W1 M lil tif, av On the night of June 11, 1954, at the Fallon Memorial Auditorium, the Class of ,55 sponsored what has been acclaimed as the most successful Junior Prom in the history of C. H. S. Since the members of the Senior Class were our invited guests, we endeavored to make our Prom most enjoyable and entertaining for them. The Town Hall was cleverly transformed into Club 55, the theme chosen by the ingenious Junior Prom Committee. A true night-club appearance was effected when a red and white canopy was erected at the entrance. Red and white streamers and top hats and canes decorated the balcony. Tables with vases of red roses were set up on the edge of the dance floor to accommodate the guests. The huge crystal ball was the center of attraction as it projected its multi-colored rays of light in a revolving pattern over the dancing couples. During the evening, re- freshments were served at the individual tables by waiters from the underclasses who had offered their services. With the rhythmic music of Billy Durkin's Orchestra as a delightful background, over 120 C. H. S. couples enthusiastically entered into this night club atmosphere. The evening came to a climax at 10:30 when Mr. Lewis S. Gordon, Jr. conducted the Grand March, which was led by the ofiicers of the Classes of '54, '55, and '56, The March featured the traditional exchange of caps and gowns by the Junior and Senior Class officers at the conclusion of the Grand March, as the dancers eagerly awaited the judge's choice of a Queen, a shower of balloons descended into the midst of the couples. Finally the decision came and Junior Class President Ed Mitchell crowned Miss Bette Brodmerkle, '55, Queen of our Junior Prom. As the strains of Auld Lang Syne faded away and our Prom became history, we knew in our hearts that this lovely evening would be tucked away in our minds as one of the happiest memories of our high school career. f 15 is S y rw ' , - !!IU UlLIO1'fjfO.7 . .

Under Coach Connor's fine tutelage, the team developed into a first-class ball club. Clinton started the season strong with an impressive win over Notre Dame of Fitchburg, but lost ia hard-fought game to Gardner. They came back strong to win over Maynard and Marlboro. Then Lady Luck deserted the team and the boys lost consecutive game to Franklin, Hudson, Leominster, Mil- ford, and Notre Dame. They Enished the season with a victory over Maynard. The team showed so much 'never say die' spirit that they were invited to the District 33 playoffs at Fitchburg. Here their opponent was the hard-fighting Worcester Trade team. Clinton held its own through three quarters but lack of reserves proved to be their downfall. This year Ray Sledzik, Walter Skinny Prewandowski, John Corbosiero and Co-Captains Ed Mitchell and .lim Peete were graduatingg but things are looking up and the rest of the team is still intact. Coach Cormor still has Dave Bailey, John Widdison, Chet Burzenslsi, Pat 0'Toole and Tom Litterio to form the nucleus of the '56 ball club. This past year's Junior Varsity included some very promising players who are sure to help bring the team through a very successful season. I9-54-55 IASKETIALI.

Under the capable coaching of Francis Babe Weihn, the Calloping Gaels' are fielding a well-rounded ball club. Such Senior stalwarts as Co-Captains Jim Peete and Bernie Caughun, Roddy Kilcoyne, Tom Thompson, Stan Zytkiewicz, Fran Coleman and John Corbosiero form the sturdy backbone of the '55 squad. These veterans, plus the many new players. Dave Gaughan, Tom Henighan. Steve Celona and Fran Gadom- ski make the Clinton ball club a strong contender for Midland League honors. The pitching duties are divided among Seniors Roddy Kilcoyne, Fran Coleman, and Bernie Caughan and Sophomores Dave Bailey. Art Broman, Tom Litterio, and Bill Walsh. John Flannagnn, Bob Ciavola and the versatile Roddy Kilcoyne serve as the catchers on this powerful squad. With the excellent hitters, good pitchers and fine defensive outfielders, this squad will certainly uphold the tradition of good ball playing and excellent sportsmanship, the trademarks of all Clinton High athletic teams.
