Dedication 2 Foreword 4 Faculty g Seniors 22 Sports 54 Happiness is 86 Who’s Who 90 Happenings 96 DEDICATION TO MRS. SHARON A. BLOOM MR. JOSEPH A. GARRITY MR. THOMAS M. VALERIO Words are not enough to express our gratitude and indebtedness to you for the guidance you have given us over the years, for helping us find ourselves, and have fun doing it. Our thanks must there- fore come from what we make of our- selves in the future. However, until that time we offer you this book, a part of us, as a down payment. We wish you all the luck that has been wished us. FOREWORD I ' here are few human beings who perceive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination . . . . . . Most of them acquire wisdom, fragment by fragment, by successive developements . . . . . . It is these developements which result in the education of the intellect in the Laws of Nature, not only of things and forces, but of men and their ways . . . . . . Our education is the fashioning of man’s affections of the will and soul, into an earnest desire to move in harmony with himself . . . 5 . . . As a result, our years at C.H.S. have allowed us to develope a sense of direction, of newfound maturity . . . . . . They have added a new dimension of vitality, a new ' awareness of the future . . . FACULTY . . . sharing our ecstasy at a victory . . . . . . being able to let loose and have fun with us . . . . . and most important of all, always available to listen and help whenever we needed them. . . . planning the best for our future . . . . . . striving fervently to impart their knowledge and experience to us . . .

Where can I go from here” . . . . . . helping each other . . . . . . feehng warm and loved . . . Yes, all this and much much more was what our wonderful sen- ior year was all about. Soon we’ll wish we could live it through again. But life is such that that just won’t happen. So here, pre- served in the pages of this book, precious moments in time stand still, and we can always be . . . Seniors. 23 . . . having good days . .

T hese two seniors exemplified the desire of the whole team. Two tough opponents were greeted by Clinton to start the season. Southbridge High School suf- fered their first defeat in two years at the hands of the Gaels. Highly favored Wachusett became their second victim. The first Midland League game found the Clinton High School Gaels in Hudson TTigh terri- tory. Though we fought hard, we ended up on the short side of a 12-8 score. The season, how- ever, was still young. In the second Midland League game the Gaels ended up on the short end again. Shrewsbury High handed the Gaels their second loss by a score of 13-0. W St. Bernards was Clinton’s next opponent and our team proved that it could get back on the winnina track bv winning 15-13. ' I ' he glory was short-lived— hcwever, powerful Milford overcame the upset-minded Gaels by de- feating them 17-8 in a game played at Fuller Field. The Gaels then traveled to Marlboro where the team got trounced by an aroused Pan- ther team 28-0. The Gaels finally got their first League victory at the expense of the Algonquin Tomahawks. This marked the first football victory a Gael team has had over the Northboro team since the series started. The Turkey Day game as always is exciting and this year’s was no exception. It had added importance for a win here meant a winning sea- son. The fired-up team containing 13 seniors re- alized it was their last game and combined to beat Maynard 12-0. 58 Jl4l fj :w -■ ' •w — There was no one great member of the 1972 edition of the Gaels. It was a team effort all the way. Contributing to the fine season we had were Tim Tolber and Co-cap- tain Dave Borinski. Tim, first at end and then at half- back, continually gained first-down yardage and was a fine defensive back. Dave picked up the tough inside yardage through holes made by John Kronopolus, Don Ganczarski, and Mike Quill. Mike was also an out- standing linebacker. Co-captain Allen Baird led the de- fense playing three different positions during the year. Allen also did double-duty as a very effective offensive tackle. Don Dobe ck showed his worth by switching from full-back to tight end and doing the job at both places. Tim Parslow, at defensive halfback, did a great Job han- dling the oppositions’ ends. Though injured for most of the season, Steve Winn and Stan Nosek proved their im- portance and gave it all they had at end and at line- backer, respectively. Dave Sargent proved an able utility 59 Steve Winn Donald Dobeck Don Ganczarski Tim Parslow Allen Baird, Co-captain ,v John Kronopolus man by playing 4 different posi- tions. Gary Vanasse ran back kick- offs well and Kevin O’Malley pro- vided extra strength in the defen- sive line. The seniors would also like to thank Coach Owen Kilc oyne and his coaching staff for 4 years in which we were taught to accept de- feat and savor victory as men. We would also like to thank our Athletic Director Mr. David Hazel for all the help he has given us over the years.

The Gaels had a rather dis- appointing 5-12 record but a record which didn’t tell the whole story. Captain Steve Winn led our scrappy hoopsters through a heart-breaking season seeing the Gaels lose by less than five points in three games. The team’s never-say-die attitude kept them in all but a few games. Its ball-hawking de- fense and fast-break offense gave the opposition fits until at times we fell victim to the opponents’ supe- rior height. The team was never out-hustled an d never said die. Our admiration and thanks go to Coach Gerry Foley for showing us, by his team’s example, that no matter how tough the opponent, we can still give him a good fight. Mli 32 ' j Steve Winn, Captain Tim Tolber Ed O’Donnell 65 Bobby Bond BASEBALL Even though the Gaels had a disappointing 1- 16 season, there was one very memorable game. It was the final game of the season and the Gaels took on the Midland League champs, the Mil- ford Scarlets. The Scarlets drew first blood as they scored in the bottom of the second inning. Milford tallied on a hit batsman, a ground out, and a run pro- ducing single. Undaunted, the Gaels fought back in the third. They produced two runs on a walk, a double er- ror on a sacrifice attempt, and two singles. This would be all the scoring in the game. The Gaels played flawless defense the rest of the way to complement a fine pitching perform- ance. Numerous Scarlet rallies were quelched by timely strikeouts and key defensive plays as the Gaels edged Milford, 2-1. Our gratitude is extended to Coach Edward Connor for assisting us during this past season. 66 r- ‘N � � assa f l i iU f i Wff i fcg II 1 Phil asner Tim Parslow Tim Toibcr Austin Joyce Paul Prichard Bob Bonci TRACK Clinton Opp. 79 Milbury 61 66 Marlboro 74 47 Hudson 93 %lVi Algonquin 43 ' 2 79 Milford 61 74 St. Bernards 66 62‘ 2 Maynard 77 ' 2 68 Shrewsbury 72 58 Westboro 82 -I 1 •— ncLj Led by six seniors, the 1972 Gael track team finished its season with a record of 4 wins and 5 losses. Though it was not a championship season the team showed much promise as many of the points earned came from the underclassmen. Senior standouts on the team include Mike Quill who continually placed first or second in the shotput, Don Dobeck who was right behind Quill in the shot- put event. Steve Winn was a triple threat often winning the javelin, high hurdles, and the long Jump. Ed O’Donnell placed first or second in every meet as a two- miler. Stan Nosek was a top Discus man and Dave Sargent was always in the top three in the hurdles. Two .school records were broken this year. The Javelin and the high hurdles. These records were achieved by Steve Winn. Steve added better than 10 feet to the old Javelin record and deminished the high hurdles record by a tenth of a second. Mike Quill Ed O’Donnell Stan Nosek Steve Winn Don Dobeck 71 Dave Sargent CROSS COUNTRY As expected the cross country team had its usual fine season finishing with a record 7-3. Led by Captain Ed O’Donnell the Gael Har- riers were only defeated by Marlboro twice and once by Shrewsbury. .Marlboro has yet to lose a .Midland League meet and Shrewsbury defeated us by a single point at their home course. A post-season Midland League Conference meet hosted by Marlboro saw Coach Donald Burwinkle’s thin-clads win convincingly, beat- ing the second-place team by 21 points. Captain Ed O’Donnell and Coach Donald Burgwinkle 72 GOLF Coach John Philbin and Captain Frank Marhefka Captain Frank Marhefka led his group of golf- ers to a respectable season finishing with a 3-4-1 record.

Pausing for a few moments rest from life’s fast-flowing stream, there is a chance for us to stop and think about where we are, what we were, and even to dream of what awaits us in the future. Our thoughts drift back over the past four years where . . . 98 “Hey Frank, did you do Miss Ryan’s homework?” “Yeah, took me an hour, and I couldn’t get the third question.” “John, see you uptown in an hour.” “Deb, those shoes are adorable. Going to the French Club meeting?” “Oh mais oui, and tonight I’m gonna ‘Cheer, cheer for old Clinton High’ at the game.” Of what significance were these years at CHS? How did 173 people interact with one another? How were we changed? How were our ideas molded? To answer these questions we must go back to the beginning . . . 99 « rr u FRESHMEN At last the day we had eagerly antici- pated had come. We were freshmen! All grown up and in high school where a whole new life awaited, ours for the liv- ing. However our feelings of triumph were short-lived because on that first day we became lost in the “vast” corridors of CHS. We stayed in our own little groups, but only at first. Soon we all knew each other and the “Spirit of ’72” w ' as firmly established. We got into full swing in November by electing as our class officers, Bariy Garceau. President; Lenore O ' Donnell, ' ice-President; Sheila Devaney, Secre- tary; and John Kronopolus, Treasurer. We undertook our first class project with a zeal unmatched by any other freshman class, and with good reason. For the world-famous Harlem Magicians took on our faculty. It was an immense success both morally and financially. Thus the Class of 1972 made its first mark on Clinton High School. SOPHOMORES li — When we re-entered Clinton High our Sophomore year we were not as excited as the previous year. We were wiser our second year and knew that we had to buckle down and do our work. We no longer got lost in the corridors. We went about business-like, keeping frivolity in its place. How- ever, we were still impressionable but not as naive as we had been. Re-elected as our class officers were: Barry Garceau, President; Lenore O’Donnell, Vice-President; Sheila Devaney, Secretary; and John Kronopolus, Treasurer. Our faculty team, in order to demonstrate it was an equal opportunity basketball team, took on the Ar- kansas Lassies. They proved that they favored no team by allowing the Lassies to beat them as the Magicians had. Thus, we proceeded on toward our Junior year. 101 4 A. JUNIORS Junior year was a time of becoming involved. Now that we had the confidence of upper classmen we felt that it was time to really participate in everything that our class, school, and community had to offer. We campaigned enthusiasti- cally for our congressman, Philip J. Phibin, and suffered the agony of his defeat with him. We cleaned up High Street and other badly littered areas of Clinton. We flaunted our class rings to the freshmen and soph- omores and, hoping to impress them even more, we drove around town at every opportunity displaying our newly found ability to drive. We carefully planned our Homecoming and Prom and noted with pride that our “72” boys were fast becoming sports heros— admired by the entire school. Junior year was also a time of specialization in our re- spective fields of study. We finally began to formulate our future goals and to work towards them. In summary, junior year was finding ourselves all over again, experiencing new feelings, and doing things we had only dreamed of before. We were beginning to grow up. 04 mvi jy$?r M vfl 106 Even the dismal, wet weather could not infringe upon the magnificent splen- dor and excitement of our Junior Prom. The moment we had awaited so long ar- rived. At 8 P.M. our Junior Prom offi- cially got under way but it had begun many months before in our minds. We dazedly danced to the music of Ed Lucci and hungrily ate our meal. As our beautiful moment began to come to its inevitable end the queen and her court were chosen. Selected to reign over us was Joanne Turini. The members of her court were Nancy Baird, Denise Laver- dure, Ann Mason, and Sherry McGraw. At midnight our magic moment ended but we had only just begun our journey towards the future. 107 SENIORS B senior vear we had learned the ropes. Our high scht-Xtl education, now near its end, had provided us with an insight into the real world and had partially equipped us for our lives to come. .■ s our class otTicers we elected Phil Wagner, Presi- dent; Tim Tolber, ' ice-President; Sheila Devaney, Secretarv; Tara Collier, Treasurer. They provided us with leadership through our last year at Clinton High. While there were major projects this year, such as the Y earbook, and the Senior Hop, we concentrated on readving ourselves for June 9th, the day on which we would say farewell to our many happy, some sad, high school memories. We also steeled ourselves for the adieu we would have to bid Clinton High. Dusk on February 23 brought to an end the daylight hours but it also terminated the careful preparations and hasty, last minute adjustments and improvisations that accompany any Senior Hop. However, these tedious details were quickly forgotten as we entered the gaily decorated Knights of Columbus hall. The music, provided by Sounds Unlimited, added to the excitement. The notes which prodded us on until we had danced ourselves mt(- a frenzy were interrupted only long enough f ' .M u - to satisfy our desires for food, and to ch -=:,,e our queen. Her Majesty Lenore O’Donnell was regally crowned with the members of her court, Jayne fjrady, Anne Lugi, Mary Beth Magowan, Donna McNamara. Deborah Belley, and Linda Reed, li;;)kmg on. Regretfully this was the final event of our night in dreamland. As we rode down our Moon River covered with newly fallen snow we could not help remembering two lines from the night’s theme: “lw . drifters off to see the world, there’s ■uch a lot of world t(j see. We’re after that same rambfiw’s end. waitin’ ’round the bend.” no [ !•- PLACES m . . . insignificant without us and the things we made happen here . . . step back and remember all the mundane tasks we went through everyday— class after class, homework, tests— but what went on in these halls of CHS was infinitely more important than any process a computer could ever perform, for it was here that lives were shaped So look into these now silent places and hear them echoing with cries of joy and agony, recall the anticipation and excitement and, most important of all, feel the beat of life.

We are here tonight 122 GRADUATION BACCALAUREATE Traditionally, we began our graduation week with Baccalaureate. However, this year was dif- ferent in some ways from past years. It was held on a Monday night. .• s we marched into Mitchell Memorial Audi- torium to the strains of “Pomp and Circum- stance” our hearts raced and jumped. A realiza- tion that our days at Clinton High were nearing an end passed Heetingly in our minds, giving way to the excitement of the moment. This became evident as we nervously sung “You’ll Never Walk Alone” with trembling voices. Our part of the proceedings done, w e sat to lis- ten to Rev. George K. Sutton address us. He told us: 124 “Never forget to be truthful and kind. Hold these virtues tightly. Write them deep within your heart. If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgement and common sense, then trust God completely, don’t ever trust yourself. In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success. In conclusion, learn about God, who He is ac- cording to the Bible, find out how He wants to relate to you and how you can relate to Him. Then be honest and take Him into your con- fidence as a Friend interested in your highest good through His direction. We can have the friendship and companionship of God but we must make the choice willfully and honestly.” With these words of Rev. Sutton reverberating in our ears, we made our way up the aisles of the auditorium to the lobby where we cast off our caps and gowns in such a way as to suggest that we wished our days at Clinton High would never end. But Fate was against us. We were one more step closer to our final farewell. CLASS TRIP We arrived at Frank Davis’ Resort with an air of hope and expectation. Listening to “Coo-Coo” livened the atmosphere and instilled a feeling that we just could not miss. The crew from Clinton got involved in every- thing going, from canoe racing on down to just plain lying around. The day was not without its bad points, however, as many found out the next day when they awoke with sunburns. Thus, Wednesday passed with no thought of our last days at Clinton High. CLASS Our class banquet got off to an unex- pected start as three of the buses decided to take a rather round-about route to f ranklin Manor. Fortunately, this was not an omen as the night was perfect. We enjoyed our meal and applauded as Mrs. Blcwm, Mr. Garrity, and Mr. Va- lerio graciously accepted the gifts we offered them in gratitude for their four years of dedication U) our class. We all listened reminiscently as Hlaine sang “To Sir With l ove” to our beloved advisors. I i i I I S 128 BANQUET The evening began to swing as the band played. Everyone took to the dance floor, and exhibited their dancing skills. We even managed to get our advisors on to the hardwood. A good time was enjoyed by all. At twelve our Cinderella night vanished, the prince and princess searched for their dream. We traveled home in the early morning. The last day had begun . . . 129 COMMENCEMENT Our graduation was the same as all the others that had preceeded it. The feelings, emotions, and thoughts were identical to those of our precursors. The basic facts may change, but the impact and sense of finality never do. With all this sameness present, it would seem that com- mencement would be uneventful and lacking in excitement. However, this is not true. As the graduates march in to “p! mp and Circumstance” a swelling mixture of nervous- ness. anticipation, alertness, thoughtfulness, happiness, sad- ness. and hopefulness is born within each student. There is als;) a realization that this is the last time he will be consid- ered a student at Clinton High, or whatever school, a real- ization that upon receiving “the diploma” that person is now cast into the outside world with only his high school ed- ucation to protect and support him. 130 EXERCISES This year, on top of all that sameness and overwhelming emotion, a newness was added. Four of our own classmates addressed us. They provided us with a greater insight into ourselves and the years which lay ahead of us. These were speeches which we could listen to and experience the identical feelings of the speaker because they were about a subject which was close to us at that moment and were in a language we could understand. The first speaker, Anne Lugi, spoke to us of our development and maturity through our high school years. She told how our development was important to our future. Anne concluded by saying, “We are the adults of tomorrow and soon we will be making the decisions of the world. If we fail to progress then our country will not prog- ress. If this happens our power will collapse and we will lose our freedom. Then we will become subject to captors who will stifle our growth.” Henry Mason, the next speaker, enlightened us on our community. He refreshed, in our minds, the memories of the many good things Clinton had done for us. Henry spoke of the social, politi- cal, and economic awareness of our municipality. He concluded by telling us, “Truly we are very fortunate to have a community as socially, politi- cally, economically aware as ours is and I hope this awareness will help make this an even better community of the future.” Our final speaker. Austin Joyce, addressed us as to the re- sponsibilities which we must now undertake. He then went on to tell us that we were pioneers, that we were the first to take on these duties at such an early age. Austin then en- couraged us by saying. “Let us snatch the standard from our parents hands and run with it as no generation before us has. He e.xhorted us to bring about world peace, world- wide friendship, and an end to pollution, poverty, hunger, and disease. Austin concluded by urging us to “Go forth fn m this hall and show the world what the spirit of ’72 can accomplish for the benefit of mankind.” And. so. our graduation became part of history. Written m a dusty book and then forgotten. But not by all. Those whf) were there can never forget it. This is true of all com- mencements for though there is that sameness that accom- panies them all. there is something special which makes it memorable and an experience that will live forever as a con- stant reminder of a past through which a person finds, and get t - know, himself. It is the fact that it is happening to y u. not around you. I ' hc third student speaker of the night was Debra Gan- czarski. .She elaborated on the passage from Ecclesiastes which begins: “There is an appointed time for everything and a time for everv affair under the heavens, . . .” Debra explained how this excerpt applied to us at that moment and at every moment in our lives. She concluded by saying, “We, the members of the graduating class of Clinton High School, must go forth from this hall alw ' ays remembering that our appointed times in life will not end here tonight be- cause for us this is not the end but only the beginning of our appointed times.” 132 PATRONS Mr. Mrs. John J.
