After having a neither had nor good season, the players, especially the Seniors, were determined to make this game one to remember — the climax of their high school football careers. And they did just that. From the starting whistle to the final play, (the final, final play!) our guys controled the game. The final score ol 26-22, as usual, doesn’t tell the whole story of the great game they played to make our last Thanksgiving Day Game truly memorable. The half-time show was one that wouldn’t be easily forgotten, either, as the band, twirlers and cheerleaders made a huge “75” in the middle of the field, while our own senior twirler, Pam Jewett performed a twirling routine with an actual sabre. 10 In the chill of the damp night, I ran silently and swiftly to reach my destination. Thinking as I went, of the despair and regret we must face at tomorrow’s departure. 12 i It is strange that after so short a time We must return to ourselves To our own minds, and decisions. Why must we face this? Why must we be forced down again into the space, from which we’ve just emerged? 13 ,, ' Mil ■ ' fp ZZ -Zy ' ZZ ZZZA , wf z rhzZZ UtH Z w . ' Z j. � iZ .

And we’re ofil To a good start, we hope! This was something totally different from any of onr other years. We didn’t realize it at the time, but the ne.xt four years woidd he v ery important. We were now entered in a new race of Life. A race against Time itself in some cases, and a race that would teach us more about Life. We would experience, in the coming years, happiness and joy, pain and sorrow, triumph and defeat. We were to find out, too, that not everyone would finish the Race, hut for those who would it would be one of the most important victories of their lives. 30 New homerooms, “for four years?!” . . . Class elections, where we chose Jack McGrail as our first President, Claire Ruane our Vice-President, Steve Pasquale as Treasurer and Kathie Bailey as Secretary . . . Schedules! ... 3 minutes to get to class, a whole 3 minutes! . . . Class advisors, now . . . Mr. Balvin, M iss McCarthy and Mr. Constantino . . . Dues! (that dirty word!) ... So now, feeling grown-up and impor- tant, we dove, head-first, into our Freshman Year, with the hope of being the best class Clinton High ever had, just like so many classes before us. “2:30 and Seniors dismissed . . . But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Like any race, “one step at a time,” “slow and steady wins the race,” etc. Why was this year so different from any of the ones in the past? Well . . . 31 i Back Again, Old Pros (?) Now We’re Sophomores! With the starting line far behind ns in this Raee that was becoming a very important part of onr lives, we were ready to face anything. Or so we thought. This year was to be a “grow- ing lip” year for many of us. We began to make ourselves known this year, in many ways. We had a bake sale, and of course, dances! Our main project was a basketball game between our great faculty and a team made up of Red So.x and former Red Sox stars. In our first shot at Interclass Dramatics we came up with Best Play and Best Actor. The Jayvee basketball team, made up almost entirely of our Sophomores, had one of the finest years ever, with a season’s record of 19-0, and a fourth place finish out of 66 teams competing in the Parks Tournament. There was a small change in our class offic- ers that year when we chose Rocci DiMeco as Vice Presi- dent. On Dec. 7, 1972 our chance finally came to prov’e ourselves as actors and actresses. With Danny Welch in the leading role as Wilbur Maxwell, we presented the play “Life O’The Party”. Other cast members were Claire Ruane, Cyndi Gavin, John Quill, Elyse Krantz, Peter Joyce, Jackie McGrail, Jimmy Vanasse, Mark DiM eco, Anita Kidis, Catherine Lavelle, and Sue Xovick. Danny won the award for Best Actor with a fantastic performance as “Wilbur”, and then . . . We won! In our first try in Interclass Dramatic Competi- tion we won Best Play! By the next day we were al- ready planning for next year! “Shoot A Mile!” 32 On Feb. 1, 1973 we spon- sored a basketball game be- tween the traveling basketball team made up of Red Sox players and our own “superstars” of the faculty. This was our first really big project, and it was a great suc- cess. The gym was packed, and everyone from 6-60 had a good time. Everyone was a winner; our class when the score ended 75-75, and the audience, when they got to talk to the players and get their autographs after the game. In the fall of our Sophomore year we met with sadness for the first time as a whole class, when, on Oetober 26, 1972 our classmate, Daniel Silvestri, was taken from us. He was a part of us, our friend, and as we think of him now the words of Elton John’s song “Daniel” come to mind. “Daniel, you are a star in the face of the sky.” 34 Presents |l verything 1 Own ' lm featuring mosaic eimji CHS. CAFE. OCT. £7, 1973 — i ouples 8.00 ® iingles 5.00r 8 00 PM , Well everyone, are you ready for this? Here we are! The Class of ’75! We’re Juniors now. Upper-classmen! We’ve passed the halt-way mark in the Race thru this part of our lives, our precious (tho we may not realize it) school-years, and we’re now ready to meet, and overcome, any ob- stacles that may he in our way as we now enter what may he the most important, and in some cases longest and hardest, year we’ve had so far. What would that year bring??? Dues again, always seems to he at the top of the list! Elections and a new President and ’ice-president. After what seemed like years of waiting those beautiful, status-symbol, class rings arrived. Finally came our Homecoming, the first big event of the year. With the end of the football season came the election of the first co-captains from the class of ’75. Also for the second year in a row the award for Best Play in Interclass Dramatics went to our class. Ever one needs a calendar for the new year, right? Well, we sold them to the whole town of Clinton and then some! Then with the coming of spring we also figured everyone would want their cars washed. (It’s a wonder some of the kids ever dried out!) Thirty-three of us made the National Honor Society that year, and at the same time awards were being given to the great athletes in our class. We had proven that we were as outstanding in sports as we were academically. Our formal! There was never such a beautiful Junior Prom and we all realized that a dream can go on forever. In the final week of school that year we had no time to spend thinking about what had happened, because the time had come for Senior pictures and thoughts of the future, of the final stage of this Race that had made the rest of us stronger and able to face the future . . . 38 Junior Homecoming October 27, 1973 “EVERYTHING I OWN” This was it! Everyone was packed into the auditorium that Friday afternoon for the Homecoming Rally. The school spirit, and especially class spirit, that everyone had that afternoon gave us all the feeling that there would be no stopping those Gaels Saturday afternoon when they would meet Milford for their Homecoming Game, 1973. Unfortunately onr Homecoming Game was less than spectacular. Not that our Gaels didn’t give all they conld, it was just an unbelievable game, with an even more unbelievable score of 3-2, against Glinton. Losing the game that afternoon didn’t stop us from making our Homecoming Dance a memorable occasion. It was the most important event we had been involved in since starting high school, and was worth all the effort that had been put into it. With the theme “Everything I Own”, and colors of blue and yellow, we danced to the music provided by the great Babe Pino and his band. Before we realized it the moment of the “Grand Marche” had arrived and the time had come to crown our first queen and court. Debbie Shipley was chosen Queen, with Madelyn Duchnowski, Melissa Harmon, Garolyn Salmon, Gatherine Lavelle, Ruth Gurrier and Donna Michaud chosen for her court. Soon everyone began to leave, taking with them beautiful memories of their Junior Homecoming, October 27, 1973. In December of our Junior year our award-winning actors and actresses prepared them- selves tor their second Interclass Dramatics Competition. They chose “Gone About Girls” for their pla - aiul again had Danny Welch in the leading role, this year as “Frankey Johnson”. Other cast members were Joe Farragher — “Dodie Watson”, Scott Hamilton — “Henry Johnson”, Ruth Gurrier — “Martha Johnson”, Joy O’Malley — “Penny Dugan ”, Denise Polewarczyk — “Mar Wells”, Kathie Bailey — “Stella Carol” and Elyse Krantz — “Edith Sweetgarden”. Everyone there that night soon found out that we Juniors were planning on nothing but winning, to make it two years in a row. The time came for the awards — everyone was, well, not e.xactly what -ou’d call (juiet. Danny was chosen Best Actor and Elyse, Best-Supporting . ctress — and for the second year in a row, making it two out of two, our class won the award for Best Play! (Coidd we make it three out of three ne.xt year?) 42 A mi.AK GOES err J tsmSR, On the night of May 17, 1974 our Junior Prom was held at the Sheraton-Lineoln Inn, Woreester. It was our first formal, with the appropriate theme “A Dream Goes On Forever”, colors of pink and white, and fantastic music hy Formations. Everyone had a really great time, and for seven of onr Junior girls a spe- cial dream came true when they were chosen Queen and Court ot our beautiful Junior Prom.

However, this is only part of the story of the team’s success; as the ' were in every meet having lost two by a single point. . s in the past Shrewsbury and Marlboro fielded strong teams. However .Milford won the League. Al- though the Gael Harriers posted a strong 4-3 record in this always tough league and a 3-1 record in non- league meets. ’ith a five and three record, Clinton entered the achusett ln itational Meet and finished second in Class B which (jualified them for the District Ill’s to be held two weeks later. When the time came the Gaels finished a strong fourth among 8 teams in class .■ and B. It as a fine tribute to the job Coach Burgwinkle did so well and so untiringly, as well the success he brought upon us, is his record of a job well done. Thanks again, Mr. Burgwinkle, and the best of luck in the future.

But if you ask the play ers and coaches who the most important unsung heroes are. they ' ll all answer— the Clinton High fans. Tie local-vocal Gael rooters were at the ever rollicking best yesterday as they wildly cheered their basketball heroes during Clinton’s 7S-61 title vic- tory over Ayer High in the Clark University Basketball Tournament. ■■ ' Our fans are the best any- where. said Clinton star Paul Sablock. who was the game’s star with 35 points. It ' s amaz- ing what a big boost they can be. Even when we play on the road we have more Clinton fans than our opponents. 1 don ' t think we really know what a hostile away crowd can be. Turn People Away Clinton coach Gerry Foley agrees. Our fans have played a big part in our success. Our club is not really an emotional type of team, but the crowd really helps us turn things on. ' We had to turn people away from the school who wanted tournament tickets said ath- letic director Ralph Ricci. We could have probably sold anoth- er 600 tickets. As it was. we bought up some of Ayer ' s extra tickets and we sold them at the door to our kids before the game. We ' ve had to have extra fan buses all season long, which has ceruinly been a pleasant problem. While most of the Gael fans were still reveling in their Clark Tournament victory, some of the players and coaches were looking ahead to next week and the District playoffs. We have a big. regular sea- son game against North. said coach Foley. We still have a chance at the Class B title but we need a victory over a Class A opponent. A victory will also insure us of the top seed in the Division II tournament. The Gaels went on a scouting party Friday night, taking in the St. Peter ' s-North Brookfield game, looking over St. Peter ' s as a possible District opponent. That Cariglia is really some- thing.” said Sablock. He sure can jump. Playing against him wiD be a real challenge. Ca- riglia got 33 points in leading the Guardians past the Indians. Can Handle It Last year winning the Clark Tournament didn ' t sink in till three days later. said Joe Mar- hefka. We ended our season with that tournament. But this year we have something else to look forward to. First, it ' s the North game and then the Dis tncts. It sure will be exciting play- ing in the Districts,” said Rich Fazio. “We don’t really know what to expect but we ' re at a point in our season where we can handle it. We ' re running a lot better than we were in the early part of the season. observed Mike Welch. We’ve got some mo- mentum from this tournament and hopefully it will carry over.” I said before the season that I thought this was the best bas- ketball team I ' ve had at Clin- ton, said coach Foley. The way they played in this tourna- ment certainly bears this out. We’re halfway through our goals. We won the Midland League and the Clark Tourna ment. We would like to win the Class B title and of course the Districts. But no mater what happens. I would certainly have to say that this has been a most satisfying and enjoyable bas- ketball season for me and hope- fully for the players and fans alike. Teltgram Photo by RICHARD P.

Our last year — we’re Seniors now! There was so many things that we would be involved in for the last time this year, like the Thanksgiving Day Game, In- terclass Dramatics, our High School formals, the Clark Tour- nament . . . One thing we were sure of, this was our final year, the high-point of all our other years, and we were going out in the same style we came in, together and with alot of class! The finish line was just beyond our reach, but we knew we would make it — and finish our Race . . . together. Drama Club Newspaper Distributive Education Club of America National Honor Society It was soon that time of year again — time for Interclass Dramatics Competition, and on December 5, 1974 another “last time” was added to the fast-growing list. It was our last Interclass Dramatics, and everyone was there, hoping (knowing) that we would take the award for Best Play, making it 3 years in a row, being only the second class to do so in the last 13 years that the plays had been held at the new Clinton Jr. -Sr. High School. Our actors and actresses put on the play “Hercules Night Out” with Dan Welch again playing the lead role, this time as “Hercules Nelson”. Joe Farragher was “Wilbur Maxwell”, Scott Hamil- ton “Mr. Maxwell”, Elyse Krantz “Mrs. Max- well”, Denise Polewarczyk “Betty-Lou Max- well”, Joy O’Malley “Connie Maxwell”, Steve Pasquale “Gerald Brown”, and Peter Joyce the •“Cat-burglar”. It was the closest competition we had been involved in yet, and there was a tense moment before Dan came through to get Best Actor Award, and then . . . everyone held their breath as the Best Play award was an- nounced — and the Seniors won! We were now halfway through our Senior year, coming into the home stretch of our Race. We could see the finish line in the distance, and though we didn’t realize it at the time we were running fast, and the Race would soon be over. ffani 0 Miat better theme for our Senior Hop than “Memories”, with all the beautiful memories we have from our four years. The night of March 22, 1975 was added to the long list when our last formal of our High School years was held at the Holden House Inn, with music provided by “Dark Horse”. We crowned, as Queen of our Senior Hop, Kathy McAndrews, and, as her court, Chris Detsikas, Janis Merrill, Brenda Bent, Anita Kulis, Kathie Bailey, and Roberta Gates. It was a beautiful dance, a beautiful night, and when it was over we all realized that we had just finished with anothe r stage of our Race, and we were fast approaching the finish line. 134 The first day of June brought with it the first day of Senior Week and Baccalaureate. As we sat in the auditorium that morning in our caps and gowns listening to the speak- ers, we began to realize how close gradua- tion was. In his speech, Msgr. Gannon of St. John’s Church told us that the greatest bles- sing we had in coming from a small town like Clinton was the friendships that had developed over the years and the true affec- tion we had, and always would have, for one another. In the Elks Hall we had our Senior Break- fast. Stephen P. Erikson, mayor of Gardner, was guest speaker and told us of the impor- tant role we were now stepping into as far as our town was concerned. It was up to us to become involved; to make Clinton’s future, as well as our own, a good one. 136 This week was to be the final stage of our Race, and even as it brought an end to our high school years, it in itself was the beginning of something new and different for each of us. 137 CLASS TRIP Veduescla ' morning, June 4 — it started out a great day tor a elass trip. Sure it did! Cold, rainy, wliat more eonld we ask tor? But tlien we tdimd out that even the weather was on onr side. By the time we got to the Frank-Davis Resort in Moodus, Conn., the sun was shining and the temperature was right up there. ’e competed all day long with West Boylston High School in swimming, boat races, and softball, and we came through it all typically C.H.S. and class of ’75 — we won most of the events we competed in! Everyone really enjoyed themselves, either horseback riding, playing tennis, listening to the rock group, eating, playing ping-pong, pin-ball or basketball, or just plain hanging around doing nothing. m liiiiiiB Hbhhi CLASS BANQUET I Nothing like being on time for yonr Senior Banquet! After standing in the parking lot late Thursday after- noon in long dresses and suitcoats and ties for an hour waiting for the buses, we figured it was going to be one of those nights. But what it turned out to be was a fantastic banquet. The time flew by, and we all wished it could have lasted longer. “Formations” provided the music for us, and, as always, did a great job. 142 The gifts we had for them were presented to Miss McCarthy, Mr. Balvin, and Mr. Constantino, and as they showed off their pewter pitcher and goblets, we began to realize we’d be leaving them, too, and that we’d miss them very much. 143 This was our last time together as a class until graduation and we really made it count. That finish line was just get- ting closer and closer. 144 GRADUATION As big, dark clouds passed overhead, we went on with our outside graduation exercises at Fuller Field, determined to go out in style. The sun did manage to come out a few times, shining down on the best graduation ever, for the best class ever — the Class of ’75! From the opening lines of class president, Jimmy Heighton’s welcome, to the final words of our class song we sang together, . . . “it is now, that it is time for us to go”, there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that we would always be together. We were now about to finish that Race ol ours that had seemed so long in the beginning. So many times it had seemed like the finish line would always be just beyond our reach, and now we had only a few more short steps to take. “Dost thou love life? Th en waste not time for time is the stuff that life is made of.” Fraukliu Our four student speak- ers, Brian Cooper, Claire Ruane, Ruth Currier, and Peter Joyce, left a deep im- pression on everyone after they had spoken. In their speeches they brought back memories, talked of looking ahead to the future, brought a few tears to some eyes, spoke of time and e.xpressed the feelings of many of us. “Ay, we all hang together or we all hang separately.” Franklin “These are the times that try men’s souls.” “I have passed the Rubicon; sink or swim, live or die, sur- Paine vive or perish.” Adams nM ' t ' 4|B| ; . - «e s b 1 ; JtJ • .l r r f - Well, it was all over. We had finished our Race, after all the years of waiting for it to be over, it was a little sad, and a little hard to believe, that it actually was. We had all made some sort of plans for the future, but they seemed too far away right now to think about. We began to say our good-byes and good-lucks to each other, promising to keep in touch, not letting anything break up the C.H.S. class of 1975. Then, as we started down the different roads we had all chosen to take us on through life, we were surprized at what we saw in the distance. There, waiting for each one of us, was another starting line to a new race. And, just as we had done in the past, with all the style of the class of ’75, we put all doubts behind us and got ready to start our next Race. 148 PATRONS Mr. Mrs. John F. Luksha Mr. Mrs. Edward L.

We 11 make a space in the lives that we’ve planned For it is now that it is time for us to go.
