COLUMBUS DAY One bright and sunny Sunday afternoon, October 10, Miss Loretta Graham became Clinton High School's 1955 Columbus Day Queen. People lined the streets all the way from Main to the Aragon Park to see Loretta, a Senior, and her lovely attendants, Linda Lark, Junior; Loretta Louden, Sophomore; and Joanne Costello, Freshman, ride by on their beautiful float. The gala event ended at the Aragon Park where everyone enjoyed a good time with games and refreshments. Page 6 Compliments of: HERSHEY, FLORIST HEDGES MOTOR SALES

MARIANNE For the past few years the students of C. H S., guided by the Student Council, have been working toward quite a goal. It has been our desire to bring to our school a foreign student. At last the student has arrived and joined the Class of 1955. Her name is Marianne Putz. She was born January 28, 1937, in the town of Grevenmacher in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Her father is the town clerk, and Marianne has a brother and sister both older than she. She was brought to America through the American Field Service. Marianne wrote an essay about her country, and along with five others then went to Brussels for an interview. She return- ed home to await the results and to persuade her family to let her go if she was accepted. As we know, she did win the coveted trip, and her parents consented to the venture. Arriving in the United States by ship, she proceeded to Clinton and entered our high school. Marianne lists two main differences between our schools and hers: (1) U S. schools are co-educational, while those of Luxembourg are not. (2) All of our subjects are taught in one language, English. In Luxembourg the subjects are taught in French, German, and English. The students are not allowed to speak their na- tive language, Luxembourg, at all while in school. Students in Luxembourg attend school from 8:00 a. m. to 12:00 a m. and from 2:00 p. m to 4:00 p. m., but they go to school six days a week with Tuesday and Thursday afternoons off Their school year extends from September 15 to July 15. They attend high school for seven years this is comparative to four years of high school and two years of college in our country. This 5'4 , red-haired, young miss with the friendly personality and the twinkling blue eyes has made friends with everyone she has met. She thinks that she might like to be an interpreter in the United States for she says she really likes living here. It's so nice to have known you even for such a little while, Marianne! Page 5

HOMECOMING Clinton High rooters were out in full force on Veteran's Day, November llth, to cheer the Wildcats to a 33-26 victory over Brazil and the capture of the coal bucket for another year. The homecoming queen, Myra Mitchell, was surrounded by her court: Loretta Graham, sen- ior; Margaret Clarke, junior; Loretta Louden, sophomore; and Joanne Costello, freshman. At half- time the queen was crowned by Stan Ferrare. Following the game, the queen and her court were presented at the annual Homecoming Dance and led the Grand March off to the music of Mark Richardson's orchestra. The dance was attended by many alumni, which made C. H. S. Homecoming a happy oc- casion for reunion of old grads. Compliments of: KIRKMAN'S FASHION SHOP Page 7 LEWIS HARDWARE
