CLASS HISTORY THE 1936 If you should ever sail down the river of history, you might find a little tributary devoted to Lawrence High School, and if you should look hard enough, you would undoubtedly find a strip of water occupied by the class of ’36. It’s a very quiet and peaceful little stream, but it’s had its moments. And many of the frogs that have swum in it have made a very big splash. But first the frogs were tadpoles who weren’t quite sure what it was all about. For self-protection they organized into the Grand Order of the Tadpoles, known popularly as the Freshman Club. They elected A1 Kohn President, Joyce Titleman Vice-President and Harriet Kohn Secretary. The finances were entrusted to the portly and dignified tadpole, Donald Glinert, who has since grown into a frog of considerable weight in the world. That eminent biologist and tadpole expert, Miss Grace Clause, was made class advisor. At the end of the year they ventured into the dangerous wilds of Broadway and saw the musical comedy success, “Strike Me Pink.” But alack and alas, the bloom of youth and innocence left our little tadpoles! During the second year of their swim in the Lawrencian stream, they were so busy cramming their little heads with knowledge that they did not form a Sophomore Club. The next year vague rumors of a Junior Club rippled on the surface, but the idea seemed doomed to a watery grave until it actually became a reality in February, 1935. Murray Laskey (the one frog who “Belches” as well as he croaks) was made President and Court Jester, in which latter capacity he was ably assisted by the inimitable Lawrence Muller. Dorothy Gliick was Vice President, Elizabeth Harris Secretary, and Frances Mendelson Treasurer. Advice was received from that staid and austere frog, Mr. James Simmonds. Then somebody (of weak intellect, undoubtedly) had the bright idea of giving a minstrel show. In the stream of our history, it was the one complete washout. Preparations were made but some minor detail got in the way—the script was lost or something. But let us turn for a moment to the outside activities and accomplishments of our heros and heroines. Teddy Ciamillo was captain of the football team in 1935, while Teddy Zimmerman, John De Cay and Nicholas Drahos proved that they were by no means “wet” when it came to handling the pigskin. Herbert Smith, Ed McDonnell, Hugh Carroll, and Harry Fredman put “all their eggs in one basket” and scored many a goal for Lawrence. Douglas Sherwin and Eliot Asinof joined the baseball team, and Billy Stone showed that his chief racket was helping to form a championship tennis team. The girls proved that “the female of the species is more deadly than the male” by excelling in basketball. Lillian Frost was captain of the championship basketball team in 1935—36. Dorothy Gliick, Marion Wolfsohn and Frances Mendelson were all on the tennis team and countless numbers of girls, including Dorothy Davidson, Julia Grosse, Dorothy Killoran, and Mary McDonald, have participated in the various gym exhibitions that have been held these past few years. Eileen Walsh and Ruth Frost have been managers of the basketball team, and Miriam Newton was associated with the baseball team in the same capacity. [ 22 ]
