Four juniors: Nancy Underwood. Gretchen Zimmerman. Barbara Bradley. Phyllis Springer and the only senior. Linda Connor, wore identical white sweaters and white skirts with a red emblem on the front. New red and black satin jackets with the famous Lion emblem and “Lawrence” written across the back were purchased to complete the uniform.
