Uurgwmkle John Brian Kelly On januaiy 8, 1908, by an unforeseen aet, onr friend and classmate, Brian, was delivered into the hands of God. Although he was a member of onr class for only a short time, many knew him in grammar school and admired him for his line and sterling qualities which made him a true friend. Brian will always be remembered in the prayers of those who knew him and they will find solace in knowing that he has reached eternal happiness. llic funeral was held at St. John’s Church with a solemn high requiem mass by Rcv ' crend Father Gionet. He was assisted by Reverend Father Geoffrey Flughcs, Deacon, and Reverend Ifiither Paul O’Malley, Sub-Deacon. The bearers were William McGrail, Joseph Baker, James Weeks, Robert Bailey, James McNichols, and George Fitzpatrick. James Matthew Ryan The will of God is exercised in strange and mysterious ways, which are many times difficult for friends and loved ones to understand. Such was the case when we learned of the sudden death of our classmate, Jimmy. He was known and well-liked by everyone. Both students and teachers recognized his ability and earnestness whether it be in school or at the extracurricular activities. He will always be remembered in our thoughts and prayers as we feel certain that he has achiev ed his eternal reward of peace and happiness. The funeral was held at St. John’s Church with a solemn high recjuiem mass at nine o’clock. The Reverend Father John F. Cahill officiated and he was assisted by the Right Reverend Monsignor John F. Cannon, P.A., V.C., Deacon and the Reverend Father Joseph E. Lynch, Sub-Deacon. The bearers were Alfred Tatro, Noel Janda, Philip Sullivan, Michael Hazel, Robert Alberini, and Joseph Schwab. MONG tlie bright and sunny days of our school life there were se eral occasions of sorrow. One such happening was the sudden death of Mr. Francis J. Nolan on February 11, 1958. He was mathematics and history teacher at C.H.S. and the President of the High School Teachers Association. He was also the Warsity baseball coach. It is with deep respect and humility that the Class of ' 61 acknowledges the faithful serx iee of Franeis J. Nolan as onr friend. . member of the faculty of C.H.S. for four years, he was a model to student and athlete alike. The extent of his dexotion to duty and his dignity of manner, fexv can equal. d’he Great Teacher called him home. eni oFiam Frcaiicis Jo Nol an AdmmistratioM , . . JOHN J.

Now that graduation is near, it seems impossible that tour years have passed since the first day we entered C.H.S. as bewildered Freshmen. As we gazed at the Seniors it seemed we never would attain that distinction. We weathered the storm of all the jokes and jeers of the upper- classmen — maybe because we didn ' t know any better. That year, under the direction of our capable class advisor we elected the fol- lowing officers: John Joyce, President; Carol Nicolletti, Vice-President; Bernard Walsh, Treasurer; Joanne Innamorati, Sec- retary. Time flew by as we got into the swing of things. We attended the annual Thanks- giving Show and had our class entry in the Interclass Dramatics. In January we had a taste of the Midyears, which we had heard so much about. ■■WHAT ... Me Work?” On February 6, much to our surprise, we arrived at school to find that we no longer had a building — as we saw the flames take our school, we knew that many fond memories went down with that Alma Mater. We were the last class to graduate that had spent any time in the original C.H.S. As June arrived, we knew we would no longer be called the Frosh and looked forward to our Sophomore Year with great enthusiasm. SOPHOMORE YEAR... Once again we returned to C.H.S. but this time it was we who played the jokes. When we had settled down to work we held class elections. The results showed James Davidson, President; Judith Car- doza, Vice-President; Bernard Walsh, Treasurer; Virginia Joyce, Secretary. We started projects to build up our Treasury. We slid through midyears like Pros with the system of getting the most done in the least time. In May we received our class rings which we treasured above all other things. Our disappointment that year was the loss of our unforgettable class advisor, Mrs. Patrick Hastings. When we learned she had taken a job in another school system our hearts were saddened because we knew we had lost not only a great teacher but also a true friend. Now we looked forward to our Junior Year with great expectations. JUNIOR YEAR . . New Cheerleading Recruits The day had finally arrived when we could be called upperclassmen. We took our parts in every show, activity and sport. Actors and actresses came forth and several heroes of the gridiron, basket- ball court and baseball diamond came from our ranks. This was an eventful year and one of our first activities was a raffle, which was run under the guidance of our new class advisor, Mr. Donald Burgwinkle. We elected Paul Ciavola, President; Judith Cardoza, Vice-President; Bernard Walsh, Treasurer, and Virginia Joyce, Sec- retary. After the routine exams, the plans for our long-awaited Junior Prom got under- way. We chose Three Coins In A Fountain for our theme and hired Perry Conte for the orchestra. Our gorgeous decorations, a beautiful June night and class spirit made our Prom one of the best in the history of C.H.S. and one which every member could be proud. One more milestone to graduation had passed and as we saw the Class of ' 60 practicing we knew it wouldn ' t be long until our turn. KING . . . for a day SENIOR YEAR . . . At last we attained the worthy title of Senior. Early in the year we elected Thomas Flaherty, President; Judith Car- doza, Vice-President; Bernard Walsh, Treasurer, and Virginia Joyce, Secretary. Soon we were busily engaged in fund ra ising projects. We saw our boys ' names at the top of every sports list. We held our Senior Prom, Winter Carnival in February and needless to say it was a success. The days passed all too soon and as work began on our Memorabilia, we knew it wouldn ' t be long before we would be marching to Pomp and Circumstance. The long-awaited day finally arrived and we were filled with joy and sadness. As we think back we can always remem- ber the Class of ' 61 ... it surely was great. witile if,o-u wo k.

S. and the Class of ’61 was only too glad to receive him. He was given an honor truly due to him, when he was chosen to represent our student body at the State House.

Witnessed and Sealed by: ALFRED E. NEUMAN AL ASKA CHARLIE SNEAKER MELVIN KASNOWSKI IMA DUD JUNIOR PROM Zhree Coins in a fountain . . . On the night of June 10, 1960, at the Fallon Memorial Auditorium, the Class of ' 61 sponsored what has been acclaimed the most beautiful Junior Prom in the his- tory of Clinton High School. We dedicated our prom to our invited guests, the Class of 1960, and tried to make it enjoyable and a lasting memory for them. Working with the theme Three Coins In A Fountain, we used originality and spirit to make our prom a success. As the couples entered the hall across a stone bridge, a beautiful Roman courtyard which was enhanced by a sparkling fountain and majestic pillars trimmed in white with gold leaf, became visible to them. The balcony, transformed into a stone terrace, was garnished with beautiful hand-made roses of all shades. It was in this mag- nificent setting that more than one hun- dred and ten Clinton High School couples enthusiastically danced to the music of Perry Conte ' s Orchestra while the crystal ball cast an aura of the heavenly. The evening came t o a climax with the Grand March which was directed by Mr. Robert A. Murphy and led by the officers of 1 960 and 1961. We all eagerly awaited the announcement of our Junior Queen and her court and finally the decision was made — Joanne Innamorati was chosen our queen and Leslie Scanlon, ' 60; Carolyn Jakubowicz, ' 61; Marjorie Wood, ' 61; Mary Ellen Nolan, ' 61; Virginia Joyce, 61, and Phyllis Trott, ' 62 were selected as her attendants. QUEEN Joanne Innamorati As our theme song Three Coins In A Fountain faded away and our prom be- came history, we knew that this lovely evening would be kept in our hearts as one of the happiest memories of our high school career.

SENIOR QUEEN Virginia Joyce ROM With the Town Hall decorated to the theme of Winter Carnival, the Class of 1961 held its annual Senior Prom on February 10, 1961. Snowflakes, evergreen trees, igloos, and skiers were the order of the evening, as couples danced under soft lights to the music of Perry Conte ' s Orchestra. This will be a memorable night for all who attended, especially with the help of the favors given, big, white stuffed rabbits. The evening was climaxed with the selection of Virginia Joyce as our Queen, and Judith Car- doza, Mary Ellen Nolan, Carolyn Fairbanks, and Nancy Collins making up her Court.

Here we ore in our first attempt at acting. We were nervous and in- experienced but, neverthelesss, we put our best foot forward and proved to be noteworthy com- petitors to the upperclass even though the Seniors won the com- petition. NO TELEVISION TONIGHT A short one-act comedy about a family who had become too engrossed in their television set. This par- ticular evening each member of the family is all ready to sit down to watch their favorite shows when, to their surprise, the set is dead. The hustle and bustle to fix the set that evening and the truth of what really happened to the television set made this a humorous situation. Mr. Howard Frank Gorski Mrs. Howard Marcia Mangan Delsey Wilma Altman Bud George Costello Lila Sandra Cozzens Gordon Robert Wagner SOPHOMORE... Now we are sophomores and our shyness has vanished. We read our lines as if we were right out of Hollywood and had everyone in hysterics with our antics. OH BABY A short one-act comedy centering around Linda Lou ' s baby-sitting job. She is all settled for the evening with the baby in bed when Gregory calls. He ' s the idol of the girls and he wants a date with Linda Lou. She frantically tries to find a girl to take over the baby-sitting. Everybody is busy — everybody, that is, except Percy. As a last resort Linda Lou talks him into baby-sitting for her. Complications arise as soon as she leaves the house — Percy doesn ' t know a thing about babies. To add to the confusion, he gets a telephone call from the baby ' s mother. He knows the mother thinks Linda Lou is still there so on an impulse he tries to talk like a girl. The mother becomes suspicious and announcs that she is on her way home. So what does Percy do? He masquerades as a girl. All these factors provided the audience with a half-hour of enjoyable entertainment. Linda Lou Wilma Altman Percy George Costello Jimmy Bobby Wagner Ada Jean McMahon Tara Marcia Mangan Mrs. Dreh Kathy Henighan ..JUNIOR Now fhaf we had reached our Junior Year our acting tech- niques were perfected in our presentation of ’’Ifchin ' To Get Hitched. This year we won our first award in this competition by copping the best make-up and costume award. ITCHIN ' TO GET HITCHED A short one-act force of life in the Kentucky Hills. This is the hilarious story of how Pearly Mae ' s father planned to get her hitched and how she outmaneuvered him with her own ideas on how the problem should be handled. This resulted in a hilarious comedy in which Pearly ' s beau was the object of all their attention. That year Carole Starr was chosen Best Actress from our ranks.

We walk- ed away with the second prize for our acting. I ' M A FOOL A short one-act comedy which takes place at the race track. One of the stable hands, George, meets a beautiful girl, who is also quite wealthy, and decides he had better pretend to be somebody else or she won ' t pay any at- tention to him. So he pretends to be a wealthy horse owner and she does fall for his charm. The only catch is that she tells him, as she leaves, that she will write to him, and after she has left he realizes that he will never get the letters or see the girl again because he hadn ' t told the truth.

That promise seemed to be coming true when the local eleven defeated the Auburn Dandies by a score of 1 3 to 0 on Fuller Field during . the second annual jam- bo re The following week, full of splriif, the team faced arch rival St Peter ' s. Clinton fans watched one of vj . the hardest fought gameS ' with the breaks going against the locals. The game ended with the score 7 to 0 in favor of St. Peter ' s. From here on injuries played a big part in the Gaels not winning a game for the season. During every game following, the team played without the services of at least two and sometimes as many as four key personnel. Even with the breaks going against the team they managed to tie two games. The first wa wijfi Milford and the second against St. Bernard ' s Jack Wattu A word must be said about ur new coaching staff. Bob O ' Brien, who Clinton fans will remember as assistant coad to the great Bingo McMahon, took over the duties as head coach. O ' B is a man you can ' t say too much about. Vic Sochon, past head coach of St. Peter ' s, coached the Clinton line. Coach Sochon won the respect and admiration of every player on the team. Jim McNally and Pat Laterio, former gridiron greats, drilled the promising freshman team. Congratulations are in order for the boys that won honors throughout the county by gaining berths on All Star teams. They are Seniors, Co-Captain Tom Flaherty, Co-Captain John Joyce, Jack Wattu; Juniors, 1961 Captain-elect Bob Fateiger, Joe Din- tino, Terry Kraft. The Class of 1961 wishes the team the very best of luck for next season, knowing that they will bring the Midland League Banner back to its rightful home, the halls of C.H.S.

JITTY DEHES ANOTHER PITCHER George Boyce leaps for joy as he rounds the base line. The 1961 Clinton High School baseball team had a record of 4 wins and 1 1 losses. This year was acclaimed the worst in 17 seasons for baseball weather. Because of rain and snow we lost 6 games. Between making up these games and in- juries, the C.H.S. baseball team had a rough time, Mr. William Gosselin was this year ' s coach. The Senior members of this year ' s baseball team included Captain Joe Cieslok, fielder and catcher; Jack Wattu, fielder and pitcher; Bill Gilmore, pitcher; Jack Joyce, pitcher and first base; George Boyce second base and shortstop; Danny O ' Connell, fielder and second base; Vic Kinosian, third base, and Bob Gilson, first base and fielder.
