SENIOR OFFICERS I . Rose, Shearer. Mr. Simmonds, Miss Griffith, Barhuti, Goddard. No that the final (lays of the CLASS OF 1945 in Lawrence High School are numbered, a familiar nostalgia envelops us all and we have the desire to turn hack the pages of time and review our happy years here. Looking back four years, we gaze upon ourselves as freshmen, little acorns but potential oaks . In our first school election, we chose as our leaders, Austin Baron, Mary Goddard, Beryl Barhuti, Ella Federico, with Mr. Smith as faculty adviser. Freshmen movies, a fund-raising drive, and a lively informal hop kept us busy. We turn another leaf in the hook of time, our votes were counted, the winners were Mr. Smith as adviser, Jerry Greenberg, Beryl Barhuti, Bob Baum and Martin Mines. We raised Lawrence’s war stamp goal by showing the film “Land of Liberty” to stamp buyers. Another page is turned and there we are again but, ah! What a difference. e are now elevated to the “noble” status of upperclassmen. We started the year off by electing as our officers Ronald Cameron, Boh Bullwinkle, Beryl Barhuti and Peter Rose, and. with our enterprising faculty adviser, Mr. Berle, we set a precedent for other Junior classes to follow by having Lawrence High School’s first Junior Prom. Remembering our senior year, we realize that, although we worked hard, our tasks were sufficiently spiced with good times. Our senior officers were Tom Shearer, Peter Rose, Mary Goddard and Beryl Barhuti. Miss Griffith and Mr. Simmonds were our able faculty advisers. Then came appointments with Boris. Lawrencian ballots, dues, senior jewelry, and all tlie other multifarious activities that Lawrence High School seniors traditionally engage in. We bought senior hats and inaugurated the idea of having a combined prom and banquet. Then came our last exams and finally — the Great Day — our graduation. Our honor speakers filled us with pride and our friends seemed to have donned new gravity with their maroon and white robes. When the final prayer was said, we all knew that we would never forget Lawrence Higli School and what it had done for us. 17
