RHODES Page 9 The Iatnrentian - v The Zlatnrzntian V Our School QAQ E cannot let this year slip by without telling about our new high school. It has been enlarged considerbly, and we hope to make this school the best in Erie County. We owe much to our teachers, our supervisor Mr. Morrison, and our School Board, for the success of the building. Now we will work hard to show them just how much we appreciate our new school. I will take you on a little trip through our sp 'cious building. As we enter the building from the west side, the first large room we see is the cooking laboratory and the sewing room. As most of you know, the girls taking Domestic Science had to go over to school Number 1 last year. This year a'l that is done away with, and now these two large rooms are in use on the first floor. In the sewing room we see new electric sewing machines along the wall. Large tables and cabinets add to the appearance of the room. As we look into the kitchen we see gleaming white sinks and polished stoves. Over in one corner are large cabinets, while in another corner is a General Electric refrigerator. Under the careful instruction of Miss Willets the girls are learning and have prohted by this new addition. Let us now ramble down the hall to the supervisor's office. Along the window we catch a view of pretty flowers which nod as we pass by. There is a large table in the middle of the room where the teachers meet. This is a great improvement over last year, and is a convenience for both the students and the pupils. I suppose you are wondering what good those glass doors are that inclose the halls. Those were put in to prevent fire from spreading through the building, they break the draft. With the expansion of the building, several new rooms have been built both upstairs and downstairs. On the first floor these include the history class and the seventh grade class rooms. Perhaps the biggest accomplishment of the year is the gymnasium and the audi' torium. Our gym is about twice the size that it used to be. It has a balcony and seating room for 500. The boys and girls have separate shower rooms. As we walk through them we see long benches, and on all sides of the room are lockers. just off this main room are the showers which are quite the thing. There is also a separate shower for the physical instructor. The gymnasium classes held in here are really more like play than work. As you all know, many jolly times have been held in here already. 'ref ll 015132 ilamtentian Q. As for our auditorium we can hardly find words to describe it. It slopes gently down toward the orchestra pit. The lights are concealed under a small platform which is turned over when in use. The scenery, we are proud to say, is the best that can be bought anywhere in the United States. It came from the Tiflin Scenic Company. As yet we have had nothing of importance held in here, but we hope to open it soon. Before we leave the first floor we must see what that large room across from the gym is. What can it be? Seats like in a theatre, pretty decorated walls and ceiling. In the front is a small stage and, to the side of that we see cupboards containing musical instruments and sheet music. We hear someone singing softly. You have guessed it! It is the music room. Now let us travel along upstairs to the second floor. I guess I won't have to tell you what room this is with its maps and globes. It is the geography room. This has been enlarged, and new kind of seats have been put in. With their swinging chairs and shining black tops the room is indeed inviting. We are sure Miss Selig enjoys this study more than ever now, and she can be certain we do too. A few rooms down the corridor is the commercial department. Here are two rooms, one equipped with typewriters, and one for bookkeeping. The typing room is sound proof. This department presents a very cheerful appearance. Next in order is our large library: Hundreds of new fiction and reference books have been put in here for our convenience. Large tables are seen at which the boys and girls study. Off the main part of the library is a small conference room. In here, when anything is to be worked out in a group, the people can gather around the table. Miss Fentzel, the librarian, has worked long and hard getting this library ready for our use. She has everyones thanks, and can be sure that we all appreciate it. Let us continue on down the hall. Here is a room that is enjoyed by all, but Hrst let us find out what room it is. Pictures hanging on the wallsg small tables with little stools sitting under them, paints and crayons protruding from tall glassesg a long table covered with pictures of all sorts: one side of the room this given up entirely to lockers where the drawings of the pupils are kept, is the art room where many an enjoyable period has been spent under Mr. Rhodes' supervision. The last room we visit is the science room. As we look into it we see small fish, turtles and crabs, swimming around in the aquarium. In the back of the room large plants of all kinds are growing. Mr. Skala finds his new rooms a great convenience. We are sure that the pupils enjoy it also. ll pid? V ,, , Q The latnrentian .af An entire new Ventilating system has been installed in the school, and it has worked out very successfully. Our bells and clocks are run by electricity, and they usually keep accurate time. We hope to improve the lawn this year. The gravel walk on the west side has helped a whole lot, du ing the rainy season, especially. Now, my friends, after seeing the Lawrence Park High School, I hope you will all agree with me that it is IOOCQ better than in previous years. Speaking about that, I wonder if our school spirit has improved any? You can just bet that it has! fwfune Stem, 8A. Qfi'D OUR SCHOOL Last Year September rolled around, And still our school was far from sound. On the twentyfeighth we all came back, To give our studies another whack. We waited long for our big gym, And wished it was finished with all our vim. Our Auditorium is now complete, And seven hundred it does seat. Our class rooms all are light and airy, And lilled with pupils bright and merry. Good teachers here preside with grace, With many a quiz for us to Rice. -By Enid Preston, 8A, pig! ll i . sa K.

HIS class of ours ,e.. you can sure hand it to Gus for being late. . .he has missed hardly a day this year. Wbz1t's the attraction, Gus? And talkin' about records, Jack and Rav sure have it for being kicked out of class ,... last time we heard Googie was ahead, but it didn't take jack long to catch up. Herbie doesn't have the moon over the mountain for Kate Smith yet .... Gordon certainly surprised us when he passed out gum for the whole class. Alas! History Class came. 'LAftisket, aftasket, we all had to go to the waste basket. Incidently, lviarion, when is Gus going to give you that thrill? Isn't it just a shame that Googie bothers Swede so much in History Class? He's gotten many a good crack from her. What makes Russel's one cheek bulge so? CI wonder??J Bill makes a good attempt at imitating Bing Crosby ..,. be is rather good. Marjy Davis is trying to diet- lots of luck, Marjy. Some Sophomores are so dumb Cnot mentioning any namesj that they take a yard stick to bed with them to see how long they sleep. I wonder why Dick and Tommy started to take P. G. courses when they did? fody Hague's only ambition is to wander about the halls. Ethel and Herbie average about 50 words a minute in typeeswell record for first year. We heard that Nlarion likes to drive a Ford coure, and also that there has been competition between her and her girl friend. The boys in L. P. would probably like it quite a lot if Vincent ll pf? Zllibt Iatnrentian sent down more dames like Marjy. The Irish in Gus probably helps win some of the B. B. games, being captain he has the best chance of saying what he thinks Cand maybe a little morej to the team! Lucy has her laif down pat now Ce gs for dinner every dayj. The 11th grade has plenty of wisecrackers, just spend the fifth and sixth periods in 212 and find out for yourself. just a few examples -it happened that we held a class meeting and the president asked that we give our ideas by making motions -Googie immediately got up and began to esture with his hands fBright fellowj. Sometime when Sadie is feeling O. K. ask her what she knows about Clearfield CDon't get sore, Sadiel. Ethe' never seems to talk about her B. F.-Oh no! Not much-if you want to find 'out just carry yourself to the lockers before a game Cnot that we mean to squeall .... Strange as it seems the 11th Grade does contain some valuables -Marjy Davis often sings over the radio ...... Dot Peterman I believe, has her own orchestra-Ahem! George and Bill are in the navy .... Esther Anderson plays the violin . . Miss Johnson says that the 11th grade has accom' plished the art of making an outline. . .Ethel Lytle is taking up dancing ,... our class includes the majority of the varsity, both boys and girls: -Gus, Bill, Ethel, Millie, Rusty, Lucy, and Sadie .... They tore their hair in wild despair Tet grieve not for this fearful lot, And wrung their hands in pain, And have for them no fears, They leaped into the started air, Maniacs, and yet they're not, Arid then came down again, They simply lead the cheers. Don't get excited we are just describing Sadie and Jack .... it's a good thing Herbie rescued joe from the fourth period type-Joe used to be the only male ftch! rch! Joel .... Betty is so sweet tempered she won't even do cross multiplication .... A good motto for Scotty: If I am too small to do great things, I can at least do small things in a great way . . .Orpha sure knows her shorthand .... Isn't it odd that Fagan never tells Gus where to get off at? .... the junior Kid Party turned out quite a success .... the bread and jam was satisfying .... Dan will probably turn out to be a successful lawyer because at times his ability to use words kinda makes the rest of us tiny .... When you want an earful of good hotcha singing, be around the girls' locker on practice night and hear Sadie lead the B. B. girls to Minnie the Moocher ....

We struggled along regardless of the many obstacles that crowded our path. In the following year things ran along a little smoother, because we had more time to spend in clubs and outside activities. Many weiner roasts and parties were held under the delightful supervision of Miss Gladys Grimm, our teacher. In the ninth grade, our Freshman year, we suffered a complete change of curriculum. Now Latin, French, and Algebra texts were carried home at night. How different from Arithmetic and Geography in the years before! We also enjoyed many delightful actif vities that year with Mr. Courtney and Miss Kennedy as our home room teachers. How glad we were to learn near the end of the term that we would have, the following year, a complete Senior High School! All through the summer we watched faithfully the progress of our new school. It seems many difficulties arose, and we did not enter school until September 28th. And here we are in the 10th grade, Sophomores! We are very proud of our new school too! Who wouldn't be? It is a pleasure to attend classes in the newly equipped Science department, and it is also, a pleasure to go into the large spacious cooking and sewing rooms. I will not stop to relate our appreciation of so fine a Gym and Auditorium either for we all have enjoyed the privilege of using both. Our Homeroom planned a sleigh ride during that heavy snow fall we had. This year we are in the Homeroom of Miss McBride, who is liked by all her class.

Say what about bringing blinds home to mother-watch out-no more throwing apple cores either girls. That gets assault and battery! By the way, I have been asked to announce--there will beno more Tureen Dinners served on Friday afternoons. They have been discovered. During that last hard snow we had there were many sledding parties-as a result next morning the majority of the Sophs came limping to school-Why?-judge for yourself!

They entered into the Temple of Learning, the primary department of Lawrence Park Grammar School. Here they came in and went out, year by year, and were commanded to take every subject, as many as twentyffour hundred, more or less. They submitted themselves to all manner of instructors, and departed not from the commands of their teachers. They grew and waxed strong, and it came to pass, at the end of the sixth year, they were transferred to a second temple, one which had recently been constructed to serve the needs of the throng seeking education. Thus they entered Junior High School. It came to pass when the eighth year was nigh done, the great powers held a council, and the class was summoned to a test of knowledge. From the multitude, fiftyfiive were found not wanting, but some there were that the wrath of the instructors was upon, and whence the Hftyfiive had departed, there was great wailing and gnashing of teeth. In the ninth month of the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirtyfone, the class presented themselves before the Chief Rulers, the High School Instructors, both male and female, in whose hands was the power and might to impart wisdom and knowledge. This day occasioned great confusion. Behold! the tongues of the Greenies clove to the roofs of their mouths. Ulibe ilatntentian X In the third month of the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirtyftwo, the chief ruler summoned the class before him saying, This day shalt thou choose a president, and he of the appellative, Earl of the house of Noyes, was chosen. XI Now when this year is finished, the freshmen will depart on their separate ways, with it is hoped, a feeling of satisfaction caused by the knowledge of work well done, in such a unique background, Lawrence Park High School. 2 -jane Hannah, '35. BVU THE FRESHMAN PARTY Whom do you love? Sounds rather sentimental, doesn't it? But believe us ladies and gentlemen, you can't judge a ame by its title. We sure got a kick out of it. Gee, we forgot, you're all proiably wondering what this is all about. Well, you see, it's like this -the ninth grade had a party on Saturday evening, April 16th. Cootie , Spin the Pan , and many other games were played. At the conclusion of the enter' tainment, refreshments were served to the ravenous mob assembled there. After refreshments, Taps was played. A great time was had by all. Besides the pupils of both ninth grades, the following teachers were present: Miss Selig, Mr. Skala, and Mr. Brown. They, too, had a dandy time.

Our teachers are Miss Kennedy and Mr. Landers, two lovely creatures to meet the first thing in the yawning . A bell rings at 8:40, and out flows a stream of humanity, equaled only by the black ants of somewhere or other. As soon as we enter the various classes, our teachers are ready to give us a lecture, and ask us questions. Why, we've forgotten more than they'll ever know. Our favorite subjects are eating and sleeping, and our choicest periods are from 12 to 1, and from 3:30 P. M. until 8:30 A. M. Our teachers predict a great future for us. We're famous too! The 8th grade girls are the junior champs in basketball. Some' day they may be listed with the other great Pros . One never can tell. We've traveled quite a bit this year, too. We had a trip to the Court House with Miss Selig, a trip through the refrigeration department in the General Electric with Miss Kennedy, and we were transported to India by the interesting talk presented to us by Mrs. Zimmerman, an Indian Missionary. Walter Winchell and his Magic carpet have nothing on us! All in all, we've had an especially successful year, and hope to even better our record next year when we are ninth graders.

Ever hear of us? If you haven't, you will soon. In some of the articles about our school the authors raved about the latest additions. And did they mention us? I'll say they didn't, and we're the very latest addition to this school. We were the last thing to come in fand perhaps the last to go outj. What a change this is from the elementary school! When we first came over here the teachers had an awful time with us. About 10:15 every morning and 2:15 in the afternoon, the recess bell from school No. 1 could be heard. Then would we start our weeping and wailing. We wanted recess. Do you think the teachers weakened and gave us some intermission? Not on your lifeg those hardfhearted knowledge pounders closed the windows and pulled down the shadesg so that we could neither see nor hear said bell. We soon got over this, however, and many of our other childish habits. We like this school now, in fact, so much that we hate to ever leave it. Our teachers aren't half bad, and our class mates are first rate. Then too, our building is one of the finest in the county. What more could we ask? Next year when we are eighth graders we hope to put the present eighth graders to shame by our boosting and other activities. By the time we are seniors we will be officially recognized as the class of the school. Teachers will hate to see us graduateg tears will fall fast and furiously as each member of the faculty begs with tearfdimmed eyes that we all remain and take a P.

V ICTOR MAYER VERY Monday and Wednesday, the best musicians of our school meet in the spacious new music room for their hourly practice. Our organization has been greatly hampered this year because of lack of space, and place in which to practice. You will recall that construction on the music room did not cease until far in january, this naturally hindered our progress. As a result, the orchestra has appeared at very few gatherings. We have, however, played for assembly programs, and expect to appear at the Mens' Club Meeting, and at the assemblies of Gridley and North East High Schools. Iviiss Bragonier is our faithful leader who is doing her bit to help all to improve. The orchestra is made up of the following musicians: First Violins: Robert Wolfe, Clarence Kaebnick, Florence Zavasky, Daniel Harris, Margaret Pinar, Belva Carle, and Carl Schmock. Second Violins: Lenard Manogg, Dorothy McClintock, Medabelle Freeland, Betty Singer, Arlene Goodling, Catherine Reynolds, and Victor Mayer. Bass Violin: Dorothy Randall. Trombone: Kenneth Netzler. Trumpets: Carl Obenauf, jack Wilson and Charles Bergstrom. Saxophone: Eleanor Websteri Clarinets: jean Morrison and Enid Preston. Drums: Prank Obenauf. Piano: Dorothy Schmock. al P36 2 .

M ARY ANDERSON HIS organization is rapidly advancing in the art of vocalization, spurred on by the results of their efforts last year. Do you remember the pretty silver cup we brought home from the contest at Oil City last year? On the twentyfthird of December our club walked through the corridors of the school singing Christmas Carols. This was quite effective. We expect to sing at Gridley and North East High Schools within the next few weeks. The Scotch Lodges, Bonnie Doon and Clan Scott , have invited the club, and Miss Bragonier to sing for them. Our club sang for the first assembly held this year in our own school. The audience applauded heartily, and proved to us that they enjoyed our efforts, and the excellent leading of Miss Bragonier. There are thirtyffive girls in this club, and all enjoy their work, and their splendid instructor. Yanki San was the name of that unusual operetta put on by the Glee Clubs under the direction of Miss Ethel Bragonier, Miss Jessie Kennedy and Miss Sara johnson. The actors and dancers took their parts quite naturally. The scene was a japanese Garden, and very beautiful it was, to be sure. Great credit is due both teachers and pupils who participated in this event.

Our Trip Through the General lillectric UQ UR Physics class consists of eight ambitious students who are always looking for something new. Our desire was granted when we were told that we were to be taken through the General Electric. We spent one whole afternoon covering hurriedly the whole plant. We had as guide, Mr. james Aiton, a good mechanic, who pointed out the special things of interest to our class. Special attention was given to the electrical buildings, the foundry, boiler plant, transformers and turbines. These, of course, are of great interest and education to physics students. We were greatly enthused with building No. 18. Here refrigerators are made by mass production, and the most modern improvements are to be found in this building. The trip was made hurriedly so we could get a general idea of the Erie works. Later, we intend to make a more intensive study of the electrical departments. -Frank Obenauf. 'I Page 3 8 The Iatnrentian V Lecture on llndia QJQ N the 29th of March, the Eighth grade, had the pleasure of listening to a lecture on India by Mrs. Ruth Zimmerman. She is a returned missionary from Portu- geese East Africa. While there she was a nurse, and very often took the place of a doctor. She is very interesting, and has a wide knowledge of both India and Africa. She displayed little men and women in their native castes, each having their particular costume. Another feature was the way of travel, which she showed by using litgle models. After the lecture, the Eighth graders had a much wider knowledge of n ia. They appreciated the lecture very much. -Kenneth C. Netzler-SA. The Fall Campaign E do not know whether it is because of the value received in buying our year' book, or because of the pictures that Dave drew, or the zeal of class meetings, that accounted for the success of our Fall campaign this year. We are inf clined to think it was the former, although, Daves' funny cartoons threw many of the classes into estacies of delight, and teachers into equal estacies of the opposite emotion. But whatever we may attribute it to, the Campaign was positively a success, be' cause almost all the year books were sold. An interesting feature of the Campaign was the contest of the grades to see which could sell the most year books. During almost any free period a crowd of students could be seen examfring the thermometer which kept an account of each grade's advance. -D. Harris. kli- Teachers' Dinner-Dance AST October the teachers of both schools, and the school board members and wives, gathered together, to spend a very enjoyable evening. The occasion was the annual DinnerfDance which was held at Sunset Inn. The dinner part of the party was greatly relished. There was chicken, biscuits, macaroni, salads -and all the trimmings that go along with a real meal. At the conclusion of the dinner, the best part of the evening arrived -the dancing. Music was furnished by the Terrace joy Boys , and they sure were hot cha that even'ng. It is certainly too bad that The DenisfShawn's or Zeigfield, or other such famous people were not present. Such fancy steps and figures the teachers cut! They could give the modern youngster a few good tips on snappy dancing. And the gowns! Here were Paris, Bergundy, Spain, Italy, Erie, or what have you, represented. Pinks, Blues, Reds, Blacks, laces, chilfons, silks, and satins were all in at' tendance. The big item of the evening, however, was the uShOWing'Ofl'-N of the boy friend to the other teachers for their approval. Oh, well, a good time was had by all, anyway. The party adjourned at ???

It certainly looked collegiate. The members of the girls and boys basketball teams wish to thank their school mates and friends who so kindly participated in this event. Their presence was greatly appreciated. Alumni Dance QJVB HE Alumni and pupils of the Eleventh Grade held a very charming dance on Saturday evening, May the fourteenth. The dance was well attended, and when everyone adjourned they declared that the evening was a huge success. The Terrace Joy Boys furnished the music for the affair. Gym Exhibit N the evening of May 5, 1932, an unusual and clever demonstration was given by the boys and girls gym classes of the Lawrence Park junior and Senior High School. Drills, Calisthenics, Relays, games, dances, and tumbling were the features of the evening. The pupils performed like veterans, showing, thereby, the excellent training they have received under the very capable instruction of Mr. A. T. Brown. l See by the Papers That ----- Richard Pinar has an Ella , Imagine! Irene Higby has an attraction in Dunkirk. What is it Irene? Mary Larson is all happy about someone these days.

Dear Lawrence Parkers: Unaccustomed as I am to writing letters, I feel an inspiration creeping upon me- and I realize that I must immediately seize my pen and write all the news that is weighing down my shoulders. I've been hearing stories about the postfgraduates that didn't get enough schooling and have returned to lawrence Park High to bother the teachers again. Have you heard that among those present are: Dick Hatch, Marion Gaylord, and Tommy Hurley? It sort of reminds you of the proverbial saying about the bad penny always turning uD. But on the other hand, there's also that quotation about Keeping a good man down . Which shoe fits? One of the alumnae is taking postfgraduate work at Strong Vincent. It's Patterson. Remember Pat ? He claims the water's fine out there and recommends it for all P. G.'s. Chuck Lenkner, Ross Wilmier, and Norman Gaylord are all working at the G. E. Norm recently backed away from his appendix at St. Vincent's Hospital. Wonder if that will hurt his golf any. PZ? B The ilatutentian It would seem as though Lawrence Park is still carrying on at East High. At least- there are quite a few influential and popular students there who give Lawrence Park credit for their beginning. Remember these? Ray Noyes, Edith White, jerry Cunf ningham, Loretta Long, Richard Dunlap, Happy Wemyss. They're all at East. And then there's john Bird and Mabel Reynolds-they're there too. CBy the way-those two are still at itj. june Casby is making a fine showing at the Villa Maria-and Stanley Hewitt expects to be graduated from Tech this year. It was news to me, but maybe you knew, that Lawrence Park Alumnae girls are very much interested in hospital work. In fact the hospital business has fared very well- with many alumnae choosing nursing as their profession. Deniza Tooze is working in the Hamot Hospital Cwith brother Delvin, along to protect her from the vicious patientsj. Hazel Orchard is training at Hamot Hospital, and Elizabeth Hutchinson is studying in Buffalo. Two others, Martha Kennedy and Ruth Ekstrom, intend entering some instif tution in the Fall. More power to our Nurses!!! Vera Richardson is studying near Boston. I guess she's heard the old story that the way to a man's heart is by way of his stomach. At least she's taking up dietetics. Wonder what good man's stomach Vera's considering!!! About the Cunninghams-Helen is at Edinboro preparing herself for teaching. We somehow wonder if she'll carry on the name Old Maid School Teacher . It seems to be just a question of How Long Will It Last . Have you heard if Jerry is going to follow in the footfsteps of her sister? . Oleta Humphrey and Ruth McClintock are also attending Edinboro State Teacher's College. Wonder if they'll stick to it? What's this about the Boyd and Dot Combination?- To be, or not to be !!! Dorothy, by the way, is progressing very well with her welfare work. Sister jean is plugging away at Ohio Wesleyan, and incidentally must be having a good time, too, according to the letters that she writes. Where are the Emerson Bros. keeping themselves? We've kind of lost sight of them. Quite a few of our past graduates are now General Electric Employees. They are: john Kennedy, Don Zimmerman, Orrin Cross, Glen Zimmerman, Georgia Bird, Amos Richards, Harry Gillingham, and Charlotte Hayes Farriar.

Every boy strong enough to hold a basketball responded to the initial . call for candidates to represent Lawrence Park High School in Basketball. The lofty ambitions of many were shattered as the inexperienced aspirants were weeded out. Nlany of these students took advantage of the intramural games, and will likely make up the nucleous of our future teams. After a short practice period the group selected to represent Lawrence Park High School for the '31732 season played the most thrilling game of the season to tie their alumni 3'7f37, in three overtime periods. Wziterford was easily defeated in the next encounter 10 to 15. Harhorcreek with an inexperienced group tasted defeat by a 326 score. In the return engagement with the alumni the Red and Blue team eked out a 25 to 24 victory in an overtime period with Bud Rebuck scoring the winning basket in the last second of the game. The first road game showed our team staging a brilliant come back in the final quarter, and an overtime period to defeat Waterford 32f24. 1' lzaie 7115132 latnrzntian Wesleyville, our ancient rival from across the tracks, succumbed to the Park outfit after a losing struggle of 22 to 12, giving the Park team an uninterrupted winning streak of 6 consecutive games. The County Champs of Girard, handed our boys their lirst defeat, with Millcreek, Fairview, and Kanty College, also turning the tide in their Givor. The Cathedral Prep game found the Park Quints on the short end of a 21 to 10 score, after a game of thrills and hair raising plays. St. Marys High school of Erie went down to a double defeat by the scores of 20 to 10 and 16 to 12. The Wesleyville game on our court climaxed a successful season on the hardwood floor as the Little Red and Blue team in an exciting overtime battle again emerged victorious 31f29. Howard Kahl and Captain George Bailey turned in a sterling performance. This game balanced the ledger for our team giving them 8 wins, 7 losses and one tie to end their first season of high school competition in basketball.

Their records have proven this statement, and it must be re- membered they played against strong competition. Also, the girls were handif capped by a late start, and it was difficult to arrange as many games as they would have liked to play. The first team does not deserve all the creditg the second team deserves just as much for their willingness to practice with them, and also in helping to cheer the team on in all the games. 'isa' I 2115132 latntentian , in ? v Some of the most exciting and hard fought games this season were with the Alumni, Fairview, Wesleyville and Millcreek. The first tilt of the season began with the Alumni. This was a game of fast playing and keen excitement. The Alumni put up a good fight, but the Crimson and Blue came out on top with a score of L. P. 15, Alumni, 12. Following came the game with Fairview, giving every one much excitement, thrill, and action. This displayed a competition of evenly matched teams. The first half ended in favor of Fairview, but fighting spirit backed the Parkers in the last half and they won, nosing out Fairview by a score of 1342. In the following week came the Wesleyville game. The girls started with a bang, but the opponents gained, ending the half in their favor. The last half was hard fought, but the Crimson and Blue bowed to Wesleyville by a 18f16 score. Having experience and keen competition taught the girls many things, and in the following year they hope to bring Lawrence Park to the top. All the members of the Hrst team will be back next year, and will be stronger by the aid of the second team.

The Iatnrentian W Intramural Athletics GJKQ NTRAMURAL athletics, under the personal supervision of our Health Education instructor, Mr. Arthur Brown, prov ded an opportunity for every student in the Lawrence Park juniorfSenior High School to enjoy a recreational program of un' equalled interest during the 193162 winter season. Previously intramural athletics received little attention at our school. Basketball games, volley ball games and a boys' and girls' foul shooting contest attracted an unusually large number of participants. Practically every boy and girl in the school ea erly enrolled on one or more of the rosters of the various teams that made up the many leagues. A total of 92 games were played during the course of Intramural, I ntr. class, Intersectional, and nterc ass. The eleventh grade team easily won the class championship for girls, with the eighth graders as Junior High leaders. After several close score games the tenth grade boys emerged as class champion, and the ninth grade bcys as junior High winners. The inf tersectional games within each class kindled to the nth degree the spirit of competitive rivalry that exists in our school. We found 7c, Sc, and 9b, winning the laurels in the boys classes, while 7a, 86, and 9a were winners in the girls sections. The Hardtacks, Mohawks, Roosters, and R101, won the boys intraclass championships after a season of close and interesting court battles. Country Roll Butter, Green Taxi Cab, and the Fords were the leaders in the girls classes. George jackson, a member of the boys' varsity basketball team, scored 18 foul shots in 25 tries, and Ella Kappel, a member of the girls' varsity basketball team, scored 15 shots to win the foul shooting championships. EVE OUR CHEERLEADING TEAM THINK the cheerleaders deserve a lot of credit this year. With their encouraging spirited yells, they have pulled many games out of a slump. just hearing them yell made us win many times. Of course, you are wondering to whom all of this credit is given. Well, there are Sadie Richards and jack Roberts our old standfbysg then we have two new members this year -they are Ruthie Coatoam and Tony Anderson a coupla' little shavers , but oh, my, how they can yell! Furthermore, when all four get together, pandamonium reigns and Lawrence Park is sure to win. iigfr i? -T -Q A To ' ' R N fs ' e a . ... R '- W -3 fl lf' iii l , W ' J '.
