Then all of a sudden, Freshmen no longer Houndered. A class meeting was held and Alice Newman, Bruce Grund, Frances Goldenberg, and jean Cestari were elected President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer, respectively, with Mrs. Lee as Faculty Adviser. H Ambitious plans fambitious for such little peoplej were made, and surprisingly enough successfully carried through. A cake sale was held at a home basketball game. The potato chips, pretzels, soda, and candy which were sold netted an additional 525.00 to the Freshman treasury. Saul Slomiak, Joel Weisman, Leila Weinberg, and Donald Weil helped tremendously to put this across. Part of the returns was contributed to charitable organizations. You can expect big things of next year's Sophomores! WHEN WE, THE CLASS OF 44, WERE FRESHMEN ........ at first blundering . . . frightened . . . then adjusted to our surroundings . . . we chose Adolph Corbelli President, Eddy Calvelli Vice-President, Dorothy Ranfone Secretary, Louis Iadanza Treasurer, and Mr. Smith as our Faculty Adviser . . . we gave a movie, The Plainsmann . . . paid dues, five cents a month . . . financed a Spring Dance . . . started a sinking fund for a Senior Prom four years hence . . . all the time becoming accustomed to Lawrence and Lawrence to us. 53
