After completing his course at the John Hay Grammar School in 1934, Aggie , with 3,000 other hopeful freshmen, turned to Lane. His likable personality acquired for him the position of secretary of the Slide Rule Club, which office he held to his 4A semester. The debate team received the benefit of his speaking ability. Finally his executive ability was demonstrated when he organized the '4Tech Prepn Sales Club and became its first president. Larry's scholastic standing won for him four scholarship pins and secured his membership in the Honor Society, where he became the first to hold office for two semesters, having been twice elected treasurer. Also in the course of his life at Lane he acted as treasurer and president of the Physics Club, and as vice-president of the Sur- veyors' Club, he was on the Safety Committee, and was an officer of the Dance Club. He received a major salesman shield, and debate and 'tTech Prepn UL's . Lawrence intends to enter a university in the fall. With him go the best wishes of all-not only of his class- mates but the members of the faculty as well. His poise, his geniality, and his sense of fair play have endeared him to all. 0 0 0 the lane tech prep

Um on CWM for june 1932: 0 As we look back on our early high school life, we recall the hardships and worries along with the pleasures and variety which were, and always have been, associated with our class life. In September, 1934, Freshies in numbers never before seen at Lane arrived at a school offering tops in academic and technical training, along with a large and beauti- ful building that would cause anyone to stop and ad- mire it. Boys poured toward the school in a steady stream that was an .impressive sight to anyone pass- ing by. You could sense the spirit of the student body, just knowing you were a part of this large group, marching forward toward a school worthy of every- one's respect. 0 During the sophomore year subjects became clearer, and events took place which united the spirit of the group closely with that always found among Lane Indians. Boys began making reputations in dif- ferent fields and self-confidence found ist way into the hearts and bodies of all members of the class. Some felt it more than others, it is true, but all received a part of the treasure latent in self-confidence. 0 The third year passed by just as fast, if not faster, than the preceding two, and, when least anti- cipated, we found ourselves standing on the threshold of our fourth year. We were scarcely aware of the fact that We had but one year left, before part of it had already disappeared, and class elections were up- on us. One hectic week was spent in the selection of officers, and then class business started on a large scale. Months slipped past, scarcely noticed, and then -we were full-Hedged Seniors, 4A's , the highest in the school. It was then thoughts began to enter our minds as to what the future held for us, college or a job, and then our thoughts changed to fond memories of our early high school life, never again to be en- joyed, but merely to be looked back upon with pleas- ing thoughts and a warm feeling in our hearts. 0 We were still in deep thought when the realiza- tion came upon us that graduation was at hand. Some day we may become engineers, doctors, lawyers, journalists, designers, and so on, each striving for his place in life, and each one fully deserving whatever he may receive. But, as we again look back in our book of memories, We say it was well worth our ef- forts to become a part of this, the first four-year class of the New Lane, and that it will always be a fond part of our memories that we helped to make this class possible in the School of Champions . 0 0 0 I
