The first impression one gets of Loretta is that she is quiet and conservative, but to those who really get to know her well, she is full of laughter and fun. Throughout her four years Loretta has managed to keep her marks at an average level and still contribute her share to all the gaiety of social activities. A great deal of her time is spent working as a nurse's aide at the Clinton Hospital in preparation for her future career, which is to be a Lady in White.

Everything about Nancy, her manner, her personality and her smile, is decidedly friendly. Her chief pleasure while at C. H. S. was serving as co-captain of the cheer- leaders. However, Nancy also lent her manifold talents to the Thanksgiving Night Shows and to the Octopus. Her willingness to help in all school functions made her a valuable member of our class. Nancy intends to ioin the White Parade after gradu- ation and we feel that our loss will be the medical profession's gain. Good luck, Nan, from all your classmates.

JUNIOR YEAR We re upperclassmen now, you see, On the Honor Society, naturally! We threw a party for the slightest reason, Our Prom was the highlight of the season. At last we were upperclassmen and, as eager, excited Juniors, we returned to the now-familiar classrooms. Much wiser to the ways of C. H. S. and its maze of corridors, we happily looked forward to our Junior year and, on Election day, chose Michael Duffy, President, Dorothy Pupecki, Vice- President, Betty Ann Notaro, Secre- tary, and Michael Burdell, Treasurer. ln February 1958, we lost the main part of Clinton High which had been both a source of constant amazement and good times for us. The fire that destroyed it played an important part in our High School careers, as we were obliged to walk from building to building for classes and were sub- ject to the whim and fancy of Old Man Weather. Our Junior Prom was a wonderful affair and the beautiful Oriental theme was a picture of enchantment to all who observed it. With Say- onara as a theme and Frankie Dee's orchestra supplying the music, it was truly a wonderful and memorable evening for the Class of '59. We dutifully paid our dues and watched our Treasury grow. Another fun-filled year had quickly passed and 1959 was not far away. SENIOR YEAR We're ready now to face the world The banner '59 unfurled. The singing in the early May, Rings the warning Graduation Day The peak of success! The worthy and honored title of Senior! We were on top and happier and more excited than ever. Early in the year we held elections and placed our confidence in the following officers: Michael Vice-President, Barbara McNamara, Secretary, and Michael Burdell, Treas- urer. We finished paying our clues and, after the successful sale of Christmas Cards, we planned our Senior Hop. The Mardi Gras theme was colorful and exciting, with couples dancing to the wonderful music of Dick Williams, and the gay scene was well remem- bered by all. The days passed all too quickly, as we planned and worked on our Year- book, and awaited the class banquet and trip. Marks were better than ever and every school day was filled with fun. Spring was upon us and with it came excitment, ioy and sadness as the long awaited day of Graduation drew closer. We realized that we were leaving Clinton High School forever, but carrying with us a host of cherished memories of a wonderful class.

lfliflam 5 Balcocl Why not go out on a limb? That's where all the fruit is. Good-looking, with a ruddy complexion and blond hair, describes Bill. This fellow, whose voice can be heard ringing through the halls of C. H. S., is another senior who was bestowed with the proverbial gift of gab. His readiness for a good time and his wonderful sense of humor have made him popular with all his classmates. Bill never misses a school function or a local dance, and is always there to lend a helping hand. Although books don't seem to bother him, he has always managed to keep on the right side of the fence. Bill's future plans are undecided. We know, however, he will be a success in whatever field he chooses. Best of luck in the future, Bill, from the Class of '59. Octopus Staff, Tau Sigma, History Circle, Junior Prom Committee. John gtycfach Run silent, run deep. The quiet ones are the ones to watch out for! No one, however, worries about Jack, who's everyone's friend. He's the boy with the overwhelming smile and the keen mind, capable of comprehending the most intricate details. He has earned one of the most coveted honors at Clinton High, The Harvard Book Award. But there is more than brains in this handsome lad. Among other things there are friendliness and manners, consideration toward every one of his classmates. His dark, striking crew-cut and big brawny frame have made many of the females at C. H. S. take notice of this all-round man. We, the Class of l959, would like to extend our fondest wishes for a successful and prosperous future. We know that you'll be a success in any profession you undertake.

Mike is one of our outstanding gentlemen and athletes, well-liked by both students and faculty alike. His impressive list of achievements include election as treasurer of his class, co-captain of the football team, and many others too numerous too mention. A rather Shy-Guy, he nevertheless is one of the most brilliant per- formers on the gridiron, basketball court, and baseball diamond.
