DIARY EDITORIAL BOARD This year's Editorial Board started out from scratch. We had only a few experienced members. The papers that left the press this year were an improvement over the previous ones. During the school year we had a cir- culation of 200 copies. The last few Weeks of school the Juniors were put in full charge. The staff this year has bought 100 more slip sheets and have many stencils left for the papers that will be printed next year. Also We have purchased some more screen plates and ink. With the above supplies and equipment We can assure you of a superior paper next year. YEAR BOOK STAFF I They did it before and W-e can do it again, was the principle utilized in the Seniors Annual Publication of the Yearbook. The Yearbook was under the supervision of Mr. Topping and Mlr. Mann of the faculty. The Seniors obtained all the material and information necessary for the publication. In order to save on material, and to improve the quality of, we had the Fair- field Publishing Company print our yearbook. We hope that our book has proved satisfactory to all its readers. 6 LAWRENCE DIARY LAWRENCE ASSEMBLY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The main purpose of the Lawrence Assembly is the fostering of democ- racy through our school. The executive committee acts as the student gov- ernment Aand has settled many disputes around school this year. This year we sent four delegates to -the Student Council Conveneion in Augusta. Re- cently the Assembly purchased a 5100 Defense Bond. Through the coopera- tion of the town and the Lawrence Assembly we have built our field house. Although lots of times we have been met with disapproval, we were only doing what we thought was for the sole benefit of our fellow students. 7 merugw Hia ESU wiv-HONESO EE .U-USE megan mmugugo 4 E52 wgw E :SEE mm: D50 mimm-BEER gm FE? mism SCENE gp mmgkim Macaw :SSVENQ RMOLQE E33 mmm wmugggg Beam mgigbp 302 QOOU miie. m3EBE2Nm mcmmwsm Elm WENEFU msg-EU TE :sm 2:50359 M258 Dzgm gm QEOZ QJOELEN EOE HBH? my-Saw V127 Bom TGWSUUHQ Mia NEGQ CNEOKKVMVUIOAH H0-NUT muon Saipan :Wigwam WANAOLKOU Q SEQ M5322 WEEE.-m HBS?

And you mean the World to me. I'll place you on ia pedestal Safe from harm and misery. I'll make you a Queen To rei-gn on a throne And give you silver and gold, But the only riches I ever want, Is the love you give me To cherish and hold. The years may come. And the years may go, And your hair may turn to a silvery grayg But in all the years I Want you to know In my eyes you'll be As you are today. BARBARA HORNE, '42, 10 LAWRENCE DIARY HAPPINESS Happiness is a habit of thinking and living rightg Being temperate in your habits and knowing wrong on sight. There's many a job in simple things if you take the time to see. Don't be selfish, greedyg there are oth-ers except Mme. Be grateful for a chance to do the work you planned. Taking interest in others of this united land. Concentrate on your daily Workg make each day a joyg For every day that's not well spent is sad as a broken toy. Never forget the pleasure natur-e gives us fr-eeg Beautiful flowers, sunshine, and the sad majestic sea. N. WEBBER, '42 OUR COUNTRY Th-e moon comes out in the velvet nightg No bombs will drop from above. For over here the land is bright With peace, contentment, love. No sirens disturb the peaceful dreamsg No hearts are full of fearg For the Light -of Liberty still beams In homes both far and near. America's wants seem very few Compared to those o'er the sea. So keep behind the Red, White, Blue, And she will keep you free. BARBARA AHORNE, '42 . IT'S A PRIVILEDGE TO BE AN AMERICAN Haven't you ever noticed the stars Blinking their bright good will? They're not boasting -of horrors and lwars Like bombs, whistling and shrill. They're peace, and happiness and calmg They make me forget the treachery At Pearl Harbor, Wake, andlodd-shaped' Guam. But I think the nicest things that stars. are for Is to make me glad to be an American. N. WEBBER, '42 '11 LAWRENCE DIARY DEAR OLD MAINE There seems to be no plac-e so peaceful and- plain, As the wide wiinding rivers and tall pines of Maine. In summer or winter, in autumn or fall, Maine is the one State I love best of all. Her grass grows much greener and skies are more blue, The birds sing much sweeter and the sun's brighter, too. The people are happy from morn until night Working and playing with hearts that are light She isn't old fashioned, shefs always in style, A place where people make life worth while. In snowstorms, in windstorms, in hail, sleet, or rain Thereis no place on earth as dear -as Old Maine. B. HORNE, '42. ccYO,Uvs We, the youth of America, are looking forward to a new world. Physi- cally, there is none, but we can grasp our new world if we have it inus and are willing to pay the price. We will not find this new world on a map, it is a sort of state of mind. The key to enter calls for a bold and daring spirit, and immaculate hearts. Our new unsettled region must be surveyed and trails must be blazed. In order to take complete possession means mental and spiritual toil, which compares with the physical toil of those who built homes and roads. Our America contains able men, unequalled resources, and' inventive- genius. We must invent, build and' put to work new social machinery. The work in this new land will be of a million diferent kinds, and it will progress with the understanding that greed is destructive to everyone. If the people of America are to definitely move into the land of cooper- ative good life, we must examine our institutions and traditions without fear or prejudice to see what changes it is necessary to make. Our sole need is for more and better educated people in the States, for men and' Women with firmly grounded convictions whose sole purpose is to travel into better mode-s of living. Let us remember that malice, hatred, and intolerence, drink shalf their own poison. Eleanor Early says, And he only lives alone who lives not for another. LENORA A. CAMERON. 12 LAWRENCE DIARY i WHAT I THINK OF THE WAR IN GENERAL I think that the high officials and leaders of the different countries, includ- ing the United States, are very much like a bunch of spoiled brats! Everyone wants his own way 3 nobody gets itg everybody is unhappy and it causes a regular riot. The 'bully gets some on his sidle by putting on a big show, then beats up the weak ones. The weak on-e goes bawling to Mamma and she says not to play with him anymore because he might get hurt. So, the bully is still in the limelight. Pretty soon along comes another bully and they get in a fight. It turns out that they are both cowards and turn and run in opposite directions. Then all is peaceful in the neighborhood until another bully appears, and history repeats itself! Of course, there is a difference in the present situation. The leaders, instead of fighting it out themselves, have it done 'by their stoogesg and in- stead of running away, they make a slimsy agreement, which is forgotten in about 20 years. But until someon-e, sometime, contrives an idea to perfect a world union where everyone minds his own business, history will just keep on repeat- ing itself! TERRY BROWN. SCRIPT After J apan's first attack on the United States, and before Congress had- convened to declare warg the Senior English Class was devising ways and means to tell the public that the United States should fight an offensive war. Wake Up America! Are we going to stand by and l-et Japan keep on the oiensive While we depend on others and defend ourselves from the yellow menace. I think everyone heartily agrees that we should Wage an offensive war against Japan, because we can defend ourselves until doomsday, but We cannot win th-e war that way. Perhaps you have heard the story of the Marines defending Wake Island. When they were asked what they wanted for Christmas, the answer, We want more J aps. How can you keep spirits like that down? I think our army would just like to blow Japan wide open. We, the Senior Class of Lawrence High School lhave sent telegrams to Secretary of State Cordell Hull, and Secretary of War Knox t-elling them what we think ofthe situation, and offering our suggestions as to what we think should be done. We have also sent letters to other high schools in the state, and also a few outside the state telling them what we are doing and asking them to help us in our campaign. JEAN DANIELS. X13 LAWRENCE DIARY WHAT WILL THERE BE TO GUARD? fWho will be left to guard it?J Pushing, struggling, stumbling against other people, all of us gasping for breath. We had no notion where we were going. We wanted to get away from the thing that had destroyed .all we had ever known. They said it couldn't happen to us. They said we were a safe nation, we of the United State-s. Now what was happening? Who could understand? Why were We being driven from destroyed homes, homes that had been de- stroyed by the very same planes that were now showering us with bombs? Over half of us were kill-ed on that last dive into the mud-Hlled ditch. Suddenly, I knew it was no use to run any more-. I didn't say anything to anyone. What Was the use! I silently edged away from the nearest person. The planes had disappeared. The other people got up and collected their belongings. Some still had their children, and some didn't. And some still had th-eir husbands or Wives and some didn't. No one thought of me lying quietly hidden. My parents had been sent to their Maker when our home was shelled. The barn was still standing. I slipped from my hiding place and raced down the road in a staggering trot. I went back to our destroyed farm. Yes, they had dared to destroy our farm. Only the barn remained standing. The barn, that was where I must go. I must get to the barn! Thank God the door was open. I went in and fell on the hay. I started to think of what had happened. What was it that I was sup- posed to remember? My mother had told me we were safe, no one would dare make war against us. We w-ere a free and democratic nation. Liberty stood at every hand. Out of the night, Without warning, a squad of planes had come winging over our house. I awoke to find' myself all in a living day-dream of the war in Russia or China. Death falling, ever falling around us, missing me by inches. It did not miss my parents. lThey both died trying to reach my bedside. The walls became a living flame. Smoke filled my lungs as I sat on my bed, terrified beyond explaining. The window fell ou-t by my head. I had, fortunately, .climbed from that window on summer mornings. I slept on the ground floor. I used to wash my face and hands in the brook about 300 feet from my bed. I had literally fall-en out that same window and stood watching my dear father and mother burn in that blazing inferno. I had started to run as fast as my pudgy legs could carry me. Then for the first time, I guess, I vwoke up when I felt other people pushing me. It was singular, odd perhaps because we still believed that it wasn't happen- ing. Oh yes, it was real enough, but were we awake? All this I thought as I lay on the hay. I still couldn't think of what I was supposed' to remember. Somewhere in my back I felt a pain. It grew. 14 LAWRENCE DIARY Now it covered my whole body. As a nebula became clear, I remembered. We, the younger generation, were supposed to guard our glorious country. But now, how could we! It was then that I saw it, a beautiful chariot drawn by six white horses and an escort of Angels. B. A. RICHARDS. i..i-ii1.i- MONSIEUR MOUSE Monsieur Mouse was granted the title Monsieur because of nis out- standing contribution to the town of Miceville. To make the story clear, the reader mus-t take a trip back to Monsieur Mouse's birthplace. Born in the grey light of the early morning, in that little hole in the wall which he was later to leave forever, Monsieur Mous-e was no different from his six little grey squirming brothers who cuddled together for warmth and emitted such faint squaking noises. As they grew, Monsieur Mouse kept aloof from his brothers and' was more interested in remaining close to the grownups and listening in as they discussed the food problem and the Cat Menace. As Monsieur matured into a half grown youth, he was quite a dandy. His sleek, grey-black coat, tiny ears, and black sparkling eyesi made him a ladies' favorite. So, for a time, Monsieur Mouse forgot his seriousness and interest in the grown-up affairs as he romped and fr-olicked with his fellow youths, and courted the various female mice. I-Ie was particularly interested in Miss Fanny Mouse, whose brown vel- vety coat was the envy of all the common grey-coated ladies. But as Mon- sieur Mouse wooed and won her, he discover-ed that there was a great dif- ficulty to be faced. She had declared that before sh-e would marry him, he must perform some outstanding feat for Miceville. So Monsieur Mouse set forth to the Mayor of Miceville who told -him that the town needed' someone who would be willing to go to the foreign land, Pasture, and find out wla-ether or not homes couldg be established there without the Cat Menace or any of those ingenious houses called traps Monsieur Mouse set forth. Leaving the friendly precincts of Miceville, h-e scurried across the intervening yard to the gates where he met Am- bassador Field Mouse who accompanied him to the possible future site of Miceville. No cats ? he quizzed, No traps? No, replied Ambassador Field Mouse, only an occasional owl. Monsieur Mouse established his quarters in the very center of the mea- dow where he proposed to spend the rest of the spring and summer, return- ing in the fall with the report to Miceville. But fate took a hand. Mr. Farmer was heard to say to his sons, Boys, we'll plow the back field this spring. 15 LAWRENCE DIARY One morning Monsieur Mouse stepped outside his humble dwelling and marvelled at the blue of the sky and the fresh clean air. Ah, he breathed, throwing out his sleek grey chest, They'll see. I told them nothing could happen here. Suddenly, he saw a huge shadow fall over him, a gleam of bright. steel above him. In sudden anguish, he saw keenly what he should have seen before. How could I tell- Just a gasp-and Alas! Monsieur Mouse was no more. It is said that the fur of Miss Fanny Mouse turned white over night at the shock of his death. At any rate, if you should go to Miceville today you would probably en- counter this gracious lady in white, who would tell you the story just as I have told it to you. DORA A. HORAN. THE HORSE SWAPPING The old cattle truck rattled and bumped over the decayed country road. It shook its two occupants until their false teeth rattled. I don't see why ya cum away out here in the first place. Thet thievin' Vantile lot will shore lay ya out for a pretty penny afore ya get hum, said Daniel. Here we air. Hang on! 1'm agoin' ta use the brakes. .So saying and acting at the same time, Dub did use his brakes. Daniel flew -out the space where the door was supposed to be, but wasn't. Vantil-e, the man who usually skun people before he was through with them, scrambled out the open doorway. He went over to Dub's truck fwhere Dub was just getting outj and then and there the argument started over two horses. Well, I can't give ya all thet boot, Dub said, scratching his head and stepping from one foot to the other. But, she's a good hoss. Ya can't find a better one in the whole count- try, Vantile argued. Vantile was a sort of horse jockey. 'Ilhat is, he was always swapping horses when he could get the best of the bargain. Dub said, I'1l tell ya what I'll do. I'll trade the mare -even fer that colt. If she's as good as ya say she is, she's sure a rip-snorterf' Is thet mowin' machine ye gut out ta your place any good ? Vantile asked. She sure is, Dub came 'back With. We've used 'er ever since Cecil was knee high to a grasshopper. Well, let's see, Cecil must be 'bout twelve or thirteen ain't 'e- Vantile question. 16 LAWRENCE DIARY Yeah, but she ain't hurt non, said Dub. Oh, all right! I'll trade witechaj' Vantile replied. But remember, thet colt is a good 'un, and thet ol' mare ya gut ain't fit fer the glue factory, he c-ontinued. Dub, who always liked' to fight, picked up his ears inthe manner of a horse and exclaimed, Is sat so. Well, if ya don't 'wanna swap ya ain't gut ta. I ain't gonna swap fer suthin' I'll git beat on, am I? Vantile shot back. Well, ya ain't gonna. 'Cause l'm keepin ma mare an ma mowin' ma- chine, too. Dub was getting hot under the collar. So, ya squeelini eh! Ya just a yeller squeel-er, Vantile was also mad. Ya say thet .agin', an' I'll ram ya teeth down ya measly throt! Dub was getting madder and madder all the time. Perhaps ive minutes of hob-nobbing ensued between the two men of the country, and at last they came to blows. First Dub was on top. When you looked again, Vantile was on top. Which man was the victor we shall never know, because Vantilefs oldest boy came out at that juncture and stopped' the tight. He said to Dub, Be ya th' un thet's a-swappin' fer the colt? Yeah, I'm th' un, Dub replied. OW, ya figurin ta swap, Jeb said. Well, I was agoin' ta swap even, ma mare fer the colt, but ya pa seys I gutta trade ma moein' machine, too, fD'ub finished talking and spat out his cud of tobacco. I'll tell ya what I'll do. Ya gimmie 5510 to boot an the mare an teke the colt, Jeb compromised. Well, thet air a might high fer a poor man such as I be, Dub wailed. Can't ya make it 57, or 'bout there? All right. But ya gutta gimmie the dough now ta make the deal legal. Jeb thought he was very wise in suggesting this exchange. Here ye be, Dub said as he handed Jeb the money. Dub gave him live of the seven dollars and said he would pay the rest tomorrow when the two men came after the horse. And you may ask where has Vantile been all this time. Vantile was at this time leading the colt out where Dub could load him in the cattle truck, because he knew what a smooth talker his son was. The five dollars Dub had given Jeb :had clinched' the deal so Dlub could' take the horse and would be forced to give the mare and the other two dollars. The colt had been loaded and Dub was in the truck. Ya be up ta ma house 'bout 7 a'clock tamorra' mornin ? Dub asked. Yep, we'll be thar', Jelo answered. The next day found' Jeb and Vantile up at Dub's house at the appointed time. Jeb said, I see ya've had the colt out. I-Iow's she goin'? IShe's all right. Little bit chest-floundered, but she'll come aroun', Dub said. 17 LAWRENCE DIARY Where's the mare? Jeb asked. She's roun' behin' the barn, Dub answered. Gimmie ma two dollars first, Vantile shouted. He was always looking for money. He had to. Well, the two horse jockeys got the mare, loaded her and Went home. Dub also gave them their two dollars. That night, Vantile heard a noise out in- his barn. It sounded like a sick horse. Vantile dressedlg :he went out to the barng he stayed just about fifteen minutes. Morning came after a raving night for Vantile. What's the matter wilt'cha ? Jeb asked. That i Dub sold me a dead hoss, Vantile roared. BARBARA RICHARDS. .i. . THE MISPADVENTURE OF PETER N ow git out there, Go on! You haven't been out all winter and 'twon't hurt you a mite. Maggie pushed P-eter out the door and banged it behind him. The half-grown cat shivered and with one pampered paw felt the snow which covered the porch floor. Br-r-r-r, but that white stuff was cold. Although it looked like the 'white froth that Maggie gave him from the milk pail, it did'n't feel like it though. Wonder how it tastes ? He took a great big mouthful and nearly froze his mouth, then opened it in surprise. Now where did that stuff go? Irt just plain disappeared. Oh well, there wasn't any taste to it anyway. Wait a minute! Maybe that was snow. Well, if it was, he didnit think so much -of it. Peter jumped up on the porch rail and promptly slipped off' right into a big snow drift. That was sort of fun. Maybe it wasn't so bad after all. He tried it again and after jumping awhile, looked around for some other form of amusement. Strolling leisurely toward' the barn, he came to a very Wide path of hard- packed snow and stopped to look around. My, but it went a long way. Up over the hill this way and around a bend the other way. Oh look at that big thing coming. Wonder what it is ? Whish-h-h. It almost blew Peter out of the road. Whew-w-w, that was too close for comfort. Guess I'd better go to the barn. As he wondered into the big barn, a small gray animal scurried across the 'is LAWRENCE DIARY floor into the hay. It was immediately followed by the big barn cat, who soon returned proud to display that animal . It was squirming and squealing and it gave Peter a slightly uncomfortable feeling up and down his spine. The barn cat went haughtily past him with an air which seemed o say: H See what I did. Bet you couldn't do it if you stayed around here all day. uh. Peter vaguely caught her meaning and goad-ed on by his conscience re- solved to try his best. ' You can do it, you know you can, it said. Maybe she caught the last one, he suggested hopefully. Oh no, there are plenty more, Go on! All right, I will, Peter dr-ew a deep berath. As he ambled over to the .place where he had seen the mouse run into the hay, another one came dlashing out. He gazed after it in astonishment. As he crouched there waiting something landed on his head, ker plunk. Dizzily, he raised his head and on a beam above him, saw the mouse the old cat had dropped. Unable to locate it, she strolled oi to find another. Hurriedly picking up the mouse, Peter ran out of the barn and across the road, being narrowly missed by another automobile. Up the path to the house and up the steps he sped. There he dropped the mouse and began uttering the most weird sound ever made by his vocal cords. Maggie opened the door and gasped in surprise. Well, now, if that ain't smart. You did it all by yourself, too? You'll have to stay out there and eat it. I won't have ill in this house, she ex- claimed and shut the door. Peter's face fell. Looking at the mouse, he .picked it up and shook it. Then, running out to the barn, he deposited it inside the door and hurried back to the house. As he meowed, the door opened and the big form of Maggie appeared. So you finished it, did you, and not a sign of it left. Well, come in and get warm, you must be ab-out froze. . Peter, who was in no way n-early frozen, walked with stately steps into the kitchen. Crawling under the stove, he drowsily washed his feet and dozed off. He was suddenly awakened by the draft of cold air that came in when the door was opened. As the hired man came in, he exclaimed, Mag, what do you suppose I found out in the barn ? I dunno. What? Maggie answered. A dead mouse. Just as though someone had dropped it, he said. You don't say, said Maggie. Peter came ambling out from under the stove. As she looked at him she exclaimed, You-don't-say. TERRY BROWN. 19 LAWRENCE DIARY 11 High Street, Fairfield, Maine. April 9, 1942 Dear Bud: I went to Waterville last night on one of the fshall we sayl wonderful Duplessie Busses. As I got on the bus I nioticed a sign which read as fol- lows: Capacity-27 , As I rode I counted the number of pas-sengers. There were 54. In front of me was .a Woman chewing gum very loudly. I asked her what company she worked for. I hope you'll excuse my writing. I am writing with one hand and holding a b-eef steak with the other. In .back of me a man's blowing his nose in my ear. Both of my ears have been ringing ever since. We were packed in so tightly we had to breathe on the installment plan. The first person to get off was a fat lady, who of course- was stationed in the rear of the bus. Oops! The man in back of me just blew his nose again. Another man just got on. A little boy in the rear of the bus climbed up on the supporting bars and is riding there. When we got to Waterville I pushed my way out into the fresh air. Just then I sneezed and had to blow my own nose. Strangely enough the handkerchief that had been clean when I left home had been used several times. That's all for now. Your Pal, 12345678. P.AS. Remember- Hardly .a man is now alive who passed on a hill at 75. 8 Corporal Lane, Camp Sticks, Me. April 8, 1942. Der Mom: Just thought I'd write a few lines to let you know I didn't get your last letter. If you don't get this one write and let me know. Boy! This army life is just swell. It's a great treat for us farmers to be able to sleep until 6 o'clock, pretty soft. Last week I ran into General Meed, literally and actually. Before I knew what happened I was Kitchen Police, and that's some promotion, back- wards. It was real serious though. After he got out of the puddle, that's where he fell, he was so mad he jumped up and down so long and hard he burnt out a bearing or something. He had to go to bed. We were out on practice maneuvers yesterday, and I drove a jeep, some fun! Those things do the impossible if anything ever did. We were or- dered to take a shortcut to headquarters with a message, and boy, we did, 20 LAWRENCE DIARY too! We went through a backyard and took a lady's washing right with us, clothesline and all. Boy! did I enjoy the scenery with somebody's long underwear wrapped around my neck. We finally got to headquarters with the message, and I burrowed out from under the laundry only to find my old friend, the general, staring me in the eye. I gave him the message but it was the wrong one I guess, because he turned very red about the neck and ears and asked me who wrote that. I told him Captain Dripp did. He gave the captain a blowing up the next day. But one thing bothers me, and it's funny, too., I haven't been able to find that letter I wrote to my girl yet, and ll know I didn't mail it. Well, I've got to get back to my spuds or I'll be K. P. for two months. Your son, WENDELL. .i...l.-i-T 20 Western Avenue, Fairfield, Maine. April 6, 1942. Don't turn that dial, Gracie: You are tuned to Station SLAM. Tonight's broadcast will giv-e you a glimpse of your old schoolmates at Lawrence High in response to the re- quest in your last letter. We are not so much different than when you last saw us, but of course there are some changes. lThe next time you see Nellie she will be a bashful lass in a sunbonnet. She's going rural you know. I guess Melvin must be pining away in your a-bsence. We are unable to find out just how much be-cause the school scales are broken. Ask Osborne Ellis how that happened. You won't be able to hold your own a.nymore in your heated' arguments with Rachel. She and Keith Smith are our star debaters. This is just a fair warning. Iva and Gerry are still planning' to be nurses. We think they will be good ones! I suppose you picture us junior girls as quite dignified and stately. Actu- ally we have turn-ed childish, having gone back to dressing dolls. Thaft Imp, Dora, has stolen highest honors of the Senior class and is re- ceiving congratulations on all sidres. Can you imagine Marie as a haughty Queen Elizabeth? She played the part wonderfully during the Junior Readings and was equally as effective as Mary, Queen of Scots. In fact she was so good that she received the first prize. At the sound of the signal it will be eight o'clock Eastern War Time. Tune in again next week to the same station.

Foxy has recently taken over the reins as head coach at North-eastern where .he had set up many successful records in basketball, football, and baseball. ' Coach Keady made his first call for football candidates about a week be- fore bhe opening of the school for the fall term. About 30 boys answered the call. - After two weeks of strenuous training, our -boys opened the season by traveling to the Coast City of Belfast where they showed a gr-eat amount of power in rolling over the Coast City by the tune of 20-0. The following Saturday the boys opened their home stan-dl as host to Orono High School. Handicapped by the loss of a great back our boys were held to a 0-0 deadlock by a strong visiting club. Our next titlt in line was with a heavy Farmington bunch. Our boys took the field ranging from 5 to 1, to 10-1 odds against us. Taking advan- tage of la quick break our boys pushed over a quick touchdown. The rest of the game was a see-saw match mostly played in mid-field. 23 LAWRENCE DIARY The next victim was Newport. By displaying a great deal of power our boys rolled over Newport with comparative ease. Emerging from the first half with 6-0 advantage roaring back after intermission scoring through the line around the ends and in the air fmodern designj. The final score 25-0. After a week's lay-off the boys charged to capture a 9-0 victory over a strong Hallowell team. The down river boys ,boasted one of the best high school records in the state but the game shows that our boys were by far the stronger team, bith in power and spirit hanging up its 5th victory. Our boys closed the season in their Grid Campaign entertaining Skowhe- gan on our own Gridiron. Let's forget the score! Lawrence Belfast 0 Lawrence Orono 0 Lawrence Farmington 0 Lawrence Newport 0 Lawrence Hallowell 0 Lawrence Skowhegan 32 llilil- GIRLS' BASKETBALL Lawrence dfid fairly well this year considering the fact that our first team consisted of all new players. After our first game with Rockland we were expecting an undefeated season. Our expectations grew as our next two games came along. Then came the Tragic Era . With Skowhegan leading the troop, Lawrence went along a defeated trail. Then along came South Portland. This was the last defeat for the Lawrence lassies and it almost ended into a victory. After breaking Norridgewock's fine record we ended our season by tying the boys' Jay-Vee team. The following received letters: Mary Bowker, Theresa Brooks, Patricia Burke, Theresa Desmond, Betty Gibson, Mildred Howland, Theresa Julia, Lorena Lapointe, Marguerite McCormick, Millicent Mclnnis, Doreen Pa- quette, Laura Thibodeau and Jean Daniels, Manager.

BOYS' BASKETBALL The Lawrence High Bulldogs' basketball team made history during the 1941-1942 campaign, winning 15 games on a 16-game slate to post the greatest record in the history of the school. The Keadymen opened their parade of wins with sweeping victories over Rockland, Madison, Camden, Oakland, Skowhegan, Belfast, by decisive margin. Following this string of victories, their only defeat of the season came at the hands of Madison fwere they hotl. Starting their second string of victories off, they took an impressive 26-22 victory over Winslow on their own court, being the third team to defeat Winslow on their own court in the .history of that school. At the end of the first period our boys were leading 5-4 and at the half-time it was Lawrence 10-9. The Raiders took the lead for the first time in the game, taking a 16-15 advantage as the third period ended. The fourth quarter was a thriller, the odds against our boys, they turned the tables on the Raiders in the closing seconds of the contest to eke out a 26-22 history-making victory! Following this gr-eat victory, our boys took Skowhegan and again bounced back to win la lopsided victory over the Black Raiders of Winslow High School. Handing the Raiders va 34-13 shelacking. Our boys then polished off Oakland and by beating John Bapst established themselves as one of the leading court clusters in the state, the only team to beat John Bapst on their own court. We then rolled over Belfast, Camden, Rockland, Gardi- ner, all comfortable margins, thus finishing a hostory-making campaign.

Many contests of special interest have been arranged for local fans. Sufficient material has been reported out for sports by Coach Freme. Judging from the amount of interest shown recently, successful s-easons should be enjoyed in both sports. -..l.l...il-- TENNIS As far as the team goes it should be pretty good.

Band was founded some years ago, on the realization that the school Wanted a band. At first, there were only a few members, mostly those Who played in the orchestra and had instruments suitalb-le for band playing. But the membership has gradually increased, and now We have quite an organization. Mr. Roundy, the director, des-erves a great deal of praise and the respect of everyone. He has spent much of his time training the various sections of the band and composing and arranging music. He has done all of this composing and arranging by himself with help from no one. The band has played at quite a few entertainments and events: namely, football and basketball games, hit parade, and at assemblies. LAXWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL BAND 39 LAWRENCE DIARY A drive is now being made for new uniforms. The proceeds of a concert which will be presented on April the 24th Will, along with personal sub- scriptions from some of the tovvn's businessmen, go towards buying them. With the help of the student body and town citizens we believe that We can give the school good representation at the Festival which will be held sometime in May.

The Green Hand degree was given to twelve candidates from Lawrence, January 6. Various types of farm machinery have been repaired, painted and made useful for farmers in our community and rec- ords show that one hundred and forty farms have been surveyed. A char- ter was issued by the State Future Farmers Organization, to this chapter, approving it as of good standing. GLEE CLUB It's grand to belong to the Glee Club!!! Would you like to know why we joined? Well, I'll tell you. First of all, we've had loads of good times together. I'll always remem- ber the operetta Sunbonnet Sue which we presented in 1940. The laughs we had, the mistakes we made during rehearsals, andi finally the satisfac- tion we got from the applause, knowing that it was a success. Belonging to the Glee Club not only gives you good times, it benefits you individually. Some people who laughingly insisted that they couldn't carry a tune, dis- covered that they really could sing. Every Tuesday during activity period, the Glee Club gets together for an hour. We rehearse for coming events, sing songs we enjoy singing, and discuss our past performances. Mrs. Smith, our efficient director, has given much of her talent and en- ergy for our benefit. There aren't many schools who are lucky enough to have a leader who has such a thorough knowlede of voice and mucic. A lot of credit is due Miss McClintock, our patient pianist, whose help during the .past two years is deeply appreciated. The Glee Clufb can do all sorts of different things. We b-elieve in variety. The-re is the Hit Parad-e which is presented every year. Each year this presentation is entirely different. The first year it was divided into two parts, the first being a delightful old-fashionedf singing school with Melvin Snow and Dora Horan as host and hostess. Everyone enjoyed these old- time songs and the gay nineties costumes. The second part was ultra- modern with the girls looking their loveliest in dainty evening dresses, the boys looking like men inf their dress suits, andf everyone swinging with the rhythm of popular songs. This year in keeping with the times, the Hit Parade was built along a patriotic theme, with songs popular during the Civil, Revolutionary, World War I, and finally the songs of this war. The boys were invited to take part in this Hit Parade and all of them distin- guished themselves. One of the most outstanding programs w-e have ever given is the annual Christmas program. The scent of the Christmas trees, the sparkle of the 41 LAWRENCE DIARY GIRLS' DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS GLEE CLUB ORCHESTRA LAWRENCE DIARY tinsel and decorations, the sofe music and reverent voices of the chorus, all combined to make the birth of Christmas more real. The ceremony was conducted in silence with no applause, and all curtains were drawn with only the flickering candles giving a soft mellow light. The white blouses and dark skirts of the glee club gave the impression of ai choir and helped to make this affair one of the most beautiful ever presented. Twelve years ago, the Glee Club went to Bangor and this year the invi- tation to come again, which iw-e so eagerly awaited, has been given. The Maine Music Fes-tival, which we always attend, is being held in Bangor and everyone of us looks forward to visiting this great city. So you see that belonging to the Glee Club not only takes you places, but it develops co-operation, individuality, expression, and a finer appre- ciation of music. We each have our chance to loom into the lime-light, and we also learn how to fade gracefully into the background and give some one else a chance. . It's great to sing and make other people happier by it. Have you ever thought about trying it yourself ?? 'Think it over! I ll ARLENE H. WITHAM, Class of '43. i....l...1--l-1 THE BUGLE AND DRUM CORPS The Bugle and Drum Corps consists of eight drummers, one cymbal and a base drum, twenty buglers and also ten drum majorettes. Our director is Edward St. Peter whom we wish to thank very much. The Girls' Bugle and iDtrum Corps started October 9, 1940, and has proved very successful. On May 1, 1941, we held a tag day, this was to raise money to attend festivals. We attended the May Festival which was held in Augusta, on May 10, 1941, our ranking there was excellent. We also attended the New England Festival in Lewiston and Auburn on May 245 our ranking there was good. there was good.

Lawrence High School Orchestra is under the able direction of Mrs. Gertrude Smith. These members have faithfully attended the two on- hour rehearsals which have been set aside each week for this purpose dur- ing activity periods. The orchestra has made several appearances at evening entertainments. It furnished the music for the One-Act Play Contest, Junior Readings, and Spear Contest and helped with the music in the Annual Hit Parade.

The Junior Class also received the Scholastic Award banner for one rank- ing period this year, as Well as having many students on the Hfonor Roll each time.

N orman Moen LAWRENCE DIARY THE SENIOR PLAY A The Senior Play this year entitled Foot Loose , is a comedy in three acts and is one to put on your must see list. It is a story of ordinary everyday life with its ups and downs. Mr. and Mrs. Early are two char- acters you will enjoy. But in th-eir anxiety to shield their ohildren, they can't help but deprive th-em of some of the fun of young life. The children, feeling this, rebel against it. It has lots of fun-making with added spots of young romance there and there. The so-called girl and boy problem is handled very well. Mary and Bob, who are high school youngsters, complain of being con- sidered babes in the cradle. Dick, a student at medical college, excites th-em all when he tells them he wants to get married, and Hope, who has always been kept strictly to her books, thinks it is a wonderful thing but Mr. and Mrs. Early object. Hope finally opens up with her long pent-in feeling on this subject. Later Mr. and Mrs. Early go on a vacation cruise. Delphie, the maid, who adds quite a 'bitfof comedy to the play, is left in charge and Hope assumes her Mother's duties, looking after the younger set of the Early family. Soon after the parents' departure things really begin to pop open. Mary meets Jack Milford, a student at college, and becomes much attached to him. Bob and his chum, Buzz Daily, buy a car and run into the rear of a cranky -old widow's, Mrs. Forrester's, new car and are charged with driving without a license. The boys are made to work to pay for the d-amage. Then, Dick Early, his marriage being unknown to any of the Early family, adds a surprise by bringing home a wife, Jenny Malloy. The cast of the play is as follows: Emily, his wife ....... . Hope, their daughter . . . . . . .. Doran Horan . Marilyn jones Dick, their son ...... . . . Russell Zeaman Mary, their daughter . . . . . Bob, their son ....... ..... Delphie, the maid Randy, Mary's friend ............ ..... Jenny Malloy, Dick's sweetheart .... ..... Buzz Daily, Bob's chum ........ ....... . Barbara Horne Lloyd McAuley Marguerite Hunt Thomas Teague Lorraine Morgan . George Taylor Marion Walker, Mary's friend .... .... M arguerite Campbell jack Milford ................. ........ A lfred Jewell Sanford Wellis .............. .... H arolyn Clifford Mrs. Forrester . . . . . . . . . Geneva McKechnie LAWRENCE 'DIARY SENIOR PLAY ONE ACT PLAY FACULTY LAWRENCE DIARY ONE AClT PLAY On March 13, the annual One-Act Play Contest was .held in the Law- rence High School Auditorium. The schools competing were Carmel, New- port, and Lawrenc-e. Lawrence won first place with Murder on the High Seas. A week later Lawrence went to Bangor to compete against Bangor, Madison, and Brooks High Schools. Bangor and M-adison were the win- ners. Those who participated in the Lewrence cast were Patricia Burke, Alfred Jewell, Norma Webber, Barbara Richards, Gerald Briggs, Jean Henry, Melvin Snow, and Orville Ranger. The success of th-e play was largely du-e to Miss Rhoda Wein, who conducted it. ..l1. - -1 FACULTY The Lawrence High tachers are genial and co-operative. They work together and help the students and are considerate of stud-ents except for occasional explosions. P-erhaps the finest tribute to them is the state- ment of ia visitor: I have never seen a school where the good feeling betw-een teachers and students is so aparentf' Of course, the teachers know their stuff even if the students sometimes don't like to be stuffed . The teachers are persistent, though, and most students finally take in a few or in some cas-es a many . The teachers like 'um CstudentsJ and the students like 'um Cteachersl sometimes. Thanks be for small favors. ,.,.l..l..-.i-1-- CAREER GIRLS TAKE NOTICE Are you under the illusion that job hunting is a lark? Well, don't kid yourself because it isn't. To get hold of a job you must act mature. There is no place in the business world for giddines-sl. Personality and poise must be substituted for awkwardness and inferiority. In the first place no more sloppy outfits, such as skirts, sweaters and saddle shoes. Instead: hats, dresses, heels, and neat attire predominate. If you succeed in obtaining an interview you must imp-ress your inter- viewer that you are efficient and competent enough to handle the position. Here :are a few of the d7o's and dontis which you should bear in mind if you wish to get and hold a job. 1. Don't chew gum. 2. Don't put on make-up and comb your hair during working hours. A 3. Don't pass your 'work on to the next fellow, full of mistakes. 4. Don't wear skirts andsweaters. 5. Don't receive social telephone calls on your employer's time. 53 LAWRENCE DIARY 6. Don't be late for work, and don't watch the clock at night, so that you leave on th-e first count of five. 7. D-o keep your hands, face, and hair clean. 8. Do wear heels and stockings. 9. Do wear heels and stockings, that is most important, so I am noting it twice. You are sure to hold your position if you bear these few suggestions in mind.

A temperate diet arms the body against all external accidentsg so that they are not so easily hurt by Heat, Cold, or Lab-org if they at times should be prejudiced, they are more easily cured either of wounds disloca- tions or bruises .-Benjaonin Franklin. The true rule in determining to embrace or reject anything, is not whether it has any evil in it, but wlh-ether it has more of evil than of good. There are few things wholly evil or wholly good. Almost everything, especially of government policy, is an inseparable compound of the two, so that our best judgment of the preponderance between them is continually demanded.-A.
