Hushed with success, the trials and tribulations of Regents week were forgotten, as they stopped to enjoy the big social event of the year, the Senior Prom. I hanks to the tireless efforts of the decoration committee, the gym was completely transformed for a gala evening. I hen. on June 23, the Commencement exercises were held. Bewildered seniors were congratulating each other, and bemoaning the too quick passage of their days as Lawrencians. I lonor speeches were made by the top three in the graduating class. ictor Seliger. Johnny Mastalir and Joan Kahn. Ninety-seven per cent is an impressive average at any time, whether it denotes temperature, or an average. I lowever, when it is a graduating average — it s something to be really proud about. Nevertheless, that almost unbelievable high was hit by Victor, our valedictorian. We shudder to think what might have happened had he not completed high school in three and a half years. As for Johnny, he holds the enviable average of 95.54 per cent. As he graduated in January, he is now attending college. A hard worker and a genuine all-round person, his record in Lawrence will not be soon forgotten. Number three on your hit parade is Joan Kahn, whose 05.-11 average has been a constant threat to the other honor speakers. Needless, to say. the senior class of 1945 have set a line example in scholastic records, extra curricular activities, and eager cooperation for other Lawrencians to follow. KAHN 17
