The lamrentlan - W ,,,.. -W-- v . ...M Sophomore Class 1934 GDVB CLASS HISTORY OUR long years ago we stepped inside the portals of Lawrence Park Junior High School. 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. Il P595
