 Sthical Character FROM the time that basic educational facilities were first introduced for public use until a few years ago, students were taught not only to respect their instructors, but to fear them and be meek and awed in their presence. Times, however, have changed. The relationship between pupil and teacher is now a sympathetic, friendly one in which both teacher and pupil benefit. Experiments have shown that this friendly relationship between faculty and students is a far superior method of achieving educational perfection. Aided by the pleasant, work-inducing surroundings of our new building, the Lawrence High School administration has succeeded in adapting the students to this changing attitude.

Lawrence High School Faculty 0© Our faculty is indeed one of which we can be justly proud. Its members are representative graduates of well-known colleges from all over the United States. As our school building is outstanding among school buildings, so our faculty is outstanding among faculties. The addition to the school curriculum of various new courses made necessary the enlargement of our teaching staff, and our new pedagogues quickly associated themselves with school activities, some of them being chosen faculty advisers of various clubs, others becoming active in the supervision of Lawrence High School athletics.
