VALEDICTORI VN John Suval is Valedictorian of the Class of 1955- that fact cannot he disputed as his 94.63 average indicates; however, some other facts cannot be disputed either John is all-around, capable and just the sort of person whom everyone likes and respects. Due to these qualities, this year he was elected President of the Honor Society and the French Club, and Treasurer of the Class of 1955. It is not necessary to hope that John he “successful in all his endeavors’' he has had a very substantial start and we all know that he will continue to steer down the same track. THIRD HONOR SPEAKER I he boys seem to have run away with the scholastic honors this year. David Class, Third Honor Speaker with a 93.81 average, completes the top trio. I hroughout his four years at Lawrence David has always taken a great interest in everything and his list of activities is a mile long. This year he held membership in the Honor Society, Marshals, Math Club and Science Club. He also had the honor of being Chairman of the Junior Red Cross Council. As for the future, the ambition to be a doctor has always heen uppermost in David’s mind. We are sure that his ambition will he realized. SALUTATORI N Alan Edelson, a boy with a penetrating mind and a keen intellect, stands scholastically second in our graduating class. His very admirable average of 94.14 shows that he has used his abilities to good advantage. Alan held membership in the Honor Society and the Marshals this year and was Vice President of the Math (dub. Always having been interested in science, Alan plans to continue in this field after high school. Eventually he would like to go into the specialized field of biochemistry. We will undoubtedly be hearing great things about him in the future. Perhaps he will rank with Einstein. 27

SENIOR CLASS ALL Aboard! With this the train was off again and we were on it—Freshmen on the first lap of a four year junket. Although a little shaken up at first hy the unfamiliar movement we soon got used to it and elected our class conductors Jesse Adams, President; Joel Newman, Vice President: Arnold Beiles, Secretary: Hugh Helfenstein, Treasurer: and Mr. Walter Kretz, Adviser. Most of our time during this leg of the journey was spent in getting used to the strange scenery. After stopping to pick up another group we proceeded to the next car marked, Reserved For Sophomores,” and immediately chose two new engineers ami assistants—Hugh Helfenstein and Charles Adams, Co-Presidents; Arnold Beiles, Secretary; Anthony Carcaterra, Treasurer; and Mr. Vi alter Kretz, Adviser. Other passengers started noticing us about this time. The third car had a sign reading ‘‘Snow- hailing In The Rear Of The Car Only.” We leaned hack nonchalantly and selected a five-some to lead the Juniors—Hugh Helfenstein, President; Charles Adams, Vice President; Anthony Carcaterra, Secretary; Arnold Beiles, Treasurer: and Mr. Gabriel Uhlar, Adviser. May saw our car decked out Mardi Gras style for tin Junior Prom. Towards the end of the year someone came around selling things— not ice cream and coffee hut rings and keys with L. H. S. on them. The fourth car was roomy so that magazine subscriptions and college board tests con hi he kept there till ready to he used and did we use them! Our capable leaders were Hugh Helfenstein, President; Stephanie Schwarz, Vice President; Anthony Carcaterra, Secretary; John Suval, Treasurer; and Mr. Donald Clark, Adviser. Senior Day, the Senior Play and the Senior Prom kept us busy ami before we knew it the train had pulled into the station marked Graduation and with regret we got off: however, the regret changed to anticipation as we hoarded other trains labeled College, Work, and Marriage. 26 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Schwarz, Suval, Mr. Clark, Carcaterra, Helfenstein.
