FOREWORD Monday’s child is fair of face; Tuesday’s child is full of grace; Wednesday’s child is full of woe; Thursday’s child has far to go; Friday’s child is loving and giving; Saturday’s child must work for a living.” -Anonymous Saturday’s Child” is a most appropriate theme for the I960 edition of The Blue White. Today’s student must really work for a living” to attain a position of leadership. While this book features many candid photographs of seniors en¬ gaged in after-school employment, working for a living” means more than aug¬ menting one’s spending money with a part-time job. Saturday’s Child” symbol¬ izes the more exacting demands that are made on today’s high school graduate as he faces the world. In his father’s day, the mere possession of a diploma and a creditable scholastic record guaranteed admission to college or a fast start in the business world. However, in the second half of the twentieth century, standards have become most exacting. Saturday’s Child” must study harder and enter into the extra-curricular activities of his school to prove that he belongs to the intel¬ lectual upper class. This book depicts the many sides of student life in the Lawrence High School in a city of 75,000 people, located thirty miles north of Boston. Training is offered to 2300 pupils in college preparatory, nurse’s preparatory, business, manual arts, home economics, and general course categories. Saturday’s Child” can be found in each classification. 6

DEDICATION Headmaster Augustine J. Lawlor retires this June after forty-nine years de¬ voted to the service of the Lawrence High School. Beginning as a teacher of chemistry in 1911, Mr. Lawlor rose through the academic ranks to become suc¬ cessively a department head, a submaster, and finally in 1948, headmaster. Re¬ spectfully the Class of I960 dedicates this current volume of The Blue White to the thirteenth headmaster of the Lawrence High School. Mr. Lawlor’s period of administrative leadership has witnessed many pro¬ gressive improvements. Shortly after his accession, he brought the freshman class back to the main building from the Oliver School, where it had been located for a decade. He resurrected the Alumni Association and established the annual Alumni Night as a homecoming occasion for both young and old graduates. The L-Men’s Club was reorganized to put new interest in the welfare of athletics. Scholarship programs were started which have grown into perpetual trusts. The Band Parents’ Association inaugurated Talent Night. Weekly Friday night record hops became part of school life. Pictures of athletic teams dating back as far as 1881 were framed and placed on the walls on the first floor of the annex. A half century of teaching comes to an end for Mr. Lawlor with the I960 graduation. Thousands of men and women are indebted to him for his counsel and understanding during their high school days. 7
