ROBERT LEE FROST Lawrence High Class Of 1892 Robert Lee Frost is by far the most famous graduate of Lawrence High School. Exactly 95 years ago Frost gave the valedictory address to his graduating class of less than twenty students. Frost returned to Lawrence 25 years ago, on January 7, 1962, the eve of his 87th birthday. He was the guest of honor at the formal dedication of a million dollar elemen¬ tary school named after him. The scenario was well expressed by a then student reporter, covering the event for the “Lawrencian”: “As Robert Frost stood on the stage, talking not to us but with us, the stage seemed to fade away and become instead an easy chair beside a farmhouse fireplace, and we the audience became guests in this man’s home, listening enthralled to tales of his New England.” Frost left Lawrence High School, obscure and unherald¬ ed. Pursuing both the career of a teacher and a farmer, he wrote verse for twenty years before his genius was first recognized in a foreign land. Perhaps his life is best summed up in the line from his poem “The Road Not Taken”. “Two roads diverged in wood, and I -1 took the one less travelled by.” 16
