It takes many weeks to organize and type such a publication. We wish to thank all those who made contributions and obtained oth-er materials for the Yearbook to help make it a success. We also wish to express our ,sincere thanks and appreciation to our advisers, Miss Lucile McClintock and Miss Pauline O'Hara, who have given not only their time and energy but their patience as well. 5 LAWRENCE DIARY ' YEAR BOOK STAFF EDITORIAL BOARD Work for th-e Editorial Board of 1943 began last year when the 1942 staff turned the school paper over to us. This year, several m-embers of the Junior Class were elected to the Board which offered new talent in the literary field, and, at the same time, enabled the new members to become well-qualified to carry on the publica- tion of the paper next year. Two changes were made in the school paper: the name of the paper was changed from L. H. S. Dvlafry to the Refnalisscw-ce, and the stenciled covers of the paper were changed to printed covers. Three publications were issued during the year, and practically every copy sold. The success of our paper can be largely attributed to the untiring efforts of Mr. Mann, our adviser. The senior members of the Editorial Board wish the staff of 1944 success and good luck in all future publications. The members of the Editorial Board are: L. Beaulieu L. Cameron L. Craig J. Holt E. MaCBeth A. Witham G. Begin D. Chapnnin G. Donahue Y. Knights M. Otis M. Wood G. Briggs M. Chase P. Holmes P. Levesque M. Snow MILDRED HOWLAND, 12N. 6 LAWRENCE DIARY There are certain types of pictures which are especially suitable for children. Blondie not only provides amusement and gaity but is typical of the life of an- average American child and his parents. When the war is over and ourtcountry is once more restored to peace, I hope the citizens will begin to realize the importance of good movies not only for the children but for the grown-ups as w-ell. GERALDINE LEEMAN, 12L. WHY NOT ENJOY LIFE NOW? Why do men spend the best part of their lives under incessant anxiety and strain, striving desperately to earn money so that in their later years they may enjoy life to the fullest extent? To many this Utopia is never realizedg consequently, people labor feverishly all their lives in order to keep pace with their friends and associates. These men fall into the ruts of tradition. They never realize that at a slight turn of their h-eads there lies waiting for them a new and wonderful world-a place where one can cast aside all burdens and Where life is simplified. This wonderful place can be found in the cool, tranquil shade of the forest, or in the spacious rolling fields shimmering in the Warm, bright sunlight where the wings of birds flutter busily to and fro against the clear, blue sky and its fluffy clouds of whiteness. ' Doesn't it sound inviting? Can't you h-ear the friendly little -birds and animals of forest and field calling to you and urging you to pay th-em a visit? Why not take a few days off and meet them at their rendezvous? Lay aside your cares and think and strive for higher ideals than those you have. Answer the call with, Y-es, friends, I'm coming ! HARRIETT GOODWIN, 12L. WAR VERSUS SCHOOL Before the war began, the student graduating from high school ex- pected either to enter a high-er institute or to secur-e employment Where he could learn a trade. Today, however, conditions have changed. There is another path which many will take. .Some will take this path voluntarily 3 others, because it is compulsory. We are living in a world at war. Approximately one-half of the grad- uating class of 1943 will be needed in some kind of war Work. For many there is no choice. Boys who are -eighteen or over will receive a uniform almost as soon as they receive their diploma. But what about the rest of us? The girls eager to do their part and the younger boys? Shall We, after graduating, go to college? Is it patriotic to obtain as much education as .9 LAWRENCE DIARY we possibly can? Should we join the armed forces, or should we secure employment in some essential war industry? Young America has two responsibilities to face: to win the war wow, and to provide the leaders of tomorrow. We are not complainingg we are not quittingg we are glad we are Americans, and we are willing to sacrifice everything for our country. All we ask is, What will serve her best? There is much to be said for either choice. The younger boys, unless the war ends soon, will not -be able to com- plete their college course even though they enter college. Wouldn't it be advantageous for these Hboys to j oin the Army or Navy or to get into some vital defense industry? On the other hand, is it not the duty of each boy to lit himself, as adequately as possible, for the future leadership of our victorious and powerful nation? The girls, intensely eager to do their part, can serve in various capac- ities: Army and Navy Nurses, host-esses, or by replacing a man in an air- craft factory. Weigh these possibilities against secretarial school or col- lege. How shall we choose? These questions can not be answered en masse. The individual must think the problem through, and the answer must be based on one's ability, inclination, and training together with on-e's physical, social, mental, and emotional qualities. Only we ourselves can decide how we can best help to keep America, now and forever, The land of the brave. RACHEL ELLIS, 12L. GRADUATION The month of June will bring a day which comes only once in a lifetime, a chapter that we will always hold dear in our book of memories. We are looking forward to that day with great anticipation. Yes, I am referring to Graduation Day, owr graduation, the class of 1943. How proud we will be as we stand among the evergreens representing our school! But graduation is only the first milestone on the long and difficult road of Life. Have we prepared ourselves to the best of our ability? Have we learned the many rules which later we will be obliged to put into practice? Dio we understand the meaning of co-operation and dependability? Are we physically and mentally capable to take our share of responsibility in this chaotic world? We will be the future citizens, therefore, the future peace, as well as the responsibility of a better world, depends on us. So on that evening in June, may every senior in the class of '43 as he steps forward for his diploma, remember the significance and true meaning of the word g'f'l.ld'2.lfl1f'Ii0'l'b. NELLIE TYLER, 12L. 10 LAWRENCE DIARY P A TREATISE ON LESSER ASSIGNMENTS It seems that nowadays seniors are superhuman. They are now able to work twenty-eight hours each day. They can digest in one evening: three chapters of ch-emistry, ten diiiicult problems in trigonometry, a story and thirteen questions in English, a chapter of history, and a chronicle or two of events in American History. These seniors exist only in the teacher's mind. It is a shame that seniors, real ones, cannot do such an assignment. But, of course, this is just little stuff now, for the teachers cry, Wait until we actually get into the book, then we'll really have to work. Wait until we get into atomic structure. Wait until we hit the Norden bombsitef' Wait until we reach the politi- cal side of history. Wait until We read Shakespeare. These are the cries of the blue and gray tyrants. Then th-e teachers say woefully, I can't understand this incredible situ- ation-my seniors are not doing their assignments. Just look at this paper which says, 'Prince Henry, the navigator, taught people how to fly? Then the teacher says, I know exactly what the matter is, I'll bet a sugar cookie that I am not giving those lazy good-for-nothings enough homework to do! That's just it, but watch me lay it on now! And so, friends, we thus proceed merrily on our way, learning little, car- ing less. Why should we worry, anyway? We'll soon be in the Army!!! ORVILLE RANGER, 12L. -i,-.-...ii..1. THIS IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR What is worth fighting for? The answer is, The American Way of Life, our precious h-eritage, to preserve for ourselves and to safeguard for our prosterityf' , But we use those words, The American Way of Life, so often that we are forgetting what they really mean to every American. The American Way of Life means that we all have the same opportu- nity for success and the same right to happiness g that men like Lincoln, now as always, can rise from a humble log cabin to the highest office in the land. The American Way of Life stands for all the things our great fore- 7 LAWRENCE DIARY fathers fought for and put into a Constitution which has been successful for one hundred and fifty years, through peac-e and war, prosperity and depression. The ideals these men put into that Constitution gave us our Four great Freedoms: Religion, Speech, Press and Assembly. These stand for America and her Way of Life. In our land, children can play and go to school unafraid of bombs and destruction that have put fear into the hearts of every child in occupied Europe. Men and women are able to work where they wish and at a fair wageg they are not compelled to attend any Church, but they can attend the one of their choice, they can join the clubs and organizations of their choice-a privilege no other people have. This is not all America means, or all that we prize so dearly. America means our big cities with sky-scrapers miles highg the steady stream of noisy traffic, the hurry and excit-ement of people rushing from place to placeg the sound of mills and factories, places of emtertainmentg and everything else that makes our cities the greatest in the world. America means our small towns with our main streetg a little white church where you meet your neighbors every Sunday morning and listen to the heart-felt sermon of the ministerg the same weather-beat-en school house that your parents and their parents before them attendedg the town hall, the general store, h-omes where families and friends gather to help and enjoy one another, the small town where one is for all, and all for one. Surely the churches, schools, homes, big cities, small towns, the Four Freedoms, the Statue of Liberty, and Old Glory, which fiies so freely over all, symbolize America and the American Way of Life . Certainly no one doubts that This is Worth Fighting For. MAB-EL Orrs, 12L. .-l,- -. --- CHILDREN AND THE MOVIES Many people say, Today children grow up in the theaters. There is a great deal of truth in this statement. Until a few years ago, people had n-ever heard of moving pictures. To- day, however, if you ask a child ten years of age how he spends his Satur- day afternoons, he is very likely to reply that he attends the movies. If this same child is asked about the type of pictur-e the answer would probably be, It was a cowboy picture with lots of shooting, or, It was a picture about criminals and gangsters. I sincerely believe that it is a picture of this kind that encourages young boys and girls to steal, to run away from home, and to commit other misdemeanors. Children see others perform these acts of misconduct and escape punishment, therefore, isn't it logical to b-elieve that these children who are inherently interested in imitation will be anxious to per- petrate similar behaivor? 8 LAWRENCE DIARY LIBERTY-NOW AND FOREVER We are now engaged in the world's worst turmoil. At this time, we, the people who love Liberty, must light vigorously to protect that which is dear to us. The Axis nations have been torn from Freedom by men who have no regard for the human race. Germany has seized united democratic coun- tries and has converted them into countries where hatred and cruelty prevails, and it is doing its utmost to tear Freedom from us. Today the prerequisite of nations is: love for every human being and consideration of the fact that all men are equal. All nations must awaken to this fact and actually do something about it, or eventually, and perhaps too soon, the Axis flag will 'be proudly floating over our domains. Let each of us take the responsibility upon his own shoulders and fight, yes, even die for Liberty and that which we must have in order to survive. If we walk in a united manner and work together as a democratic country, then Liberty surely will be preserved. The Statue of Liberty proves that we now ha-ve liberty, and it's up to you and me and every other American to keep Liberty f01'e'ver. The battle cry of our nation must be: Give me Liberty or give me death.

In the distance we could hear the thund-er of the ever-increasing flood. Suddenly around the turn, rushing, turbulent, nearly deafening to the ear, came the water. The huge willows were whisked away as if a giant were picking up jackstraws. Slowly, but always creeping upward, came the water. Then an ear- splitting sound rent the air. The bridge was going out! It teetered crazily and then collapsed. The water, a muddy yellow mass, was teeming with debris-trees, small shacks, roofs, and myriads of objects which could not be identifi-ed. The rolling, tossing water which cascaded over the rocks was a miniature Niagara. At last, after days of endless waiting, the water began to recede. Where Queen Beauty had once reigned supremely, nothing remained but muddy, indescribable wreckage, destruction and desolution. FRANK GROVER, 1214. - A RAINY DAY This morning when I opened my sleep-drugged eyes, t-he mist-enveloped world bore down on me like a heavy weight. I felt depressed and lacka- daisical. The gawky trees, stripped of their foilage, were silhouetted against the sky. Still clinging to the naked branches were one or two withered leaves, the last remaining fragments of a once gaily-color-ed dress. In the murky road were miniature tributaries which ran together, grad- ually forming a dwarf-sized river. In the gutter were drench-ed, bedrag- gled leaves which once flaunted proudly on brown limbs. The grass on the lawn was tangled like the head of an uncared-for orphan. The earth showed through plainly in dark brown blotches. There was neither a flower nor a bush to brighten the landscape. Is it any wonder that on such a day one has a desolate outlook on life? PATRICIA BURKE, 12L. 20 LAWRENCE DIARY STORM AT SEA The sea was like an endless sheet of glass as a small catboat was be- calmed miles from shore. The eastern sky was darkening to a jet-black hue, and the air was oppressively stiffling. Overhead, the screeching gulls careened and glided on the still air-the only sound in the deathly still- ness. The Sun casting down his fiery heat still hung low in the evening sky. Suddenly a breath of air! A ripple on the mirror of endless sea. The sail fluttered slightly, and the gulls sailing off on th-e wings of the breeze left the boat and its occupants alone. The wind rose steadily, and the ocean turned blacker with the reflec- tion of the sky. The waves mounted steadily, and the boat tossed like a cork on the now mountainous waves. The sail was lowered, and the boat rode more calmly. The first flash of lightning zigzagged across the sky, and there was a deafening peal of thunder. The wind reached gale force, and the tiny boat was in grave danger of capsizing. The waves towered even higher and broke in great white plume-like spray which flew high into the air as it was shipped off by the wind. Rain began to fall. As the rain pelted down, the wind abated slowly, and the gigantic waves receded to a ripple. The rain ceased unexpectedly, and the sun shone through a space in the clouds and glittered on the gentle ripples. The storm was over! WENDALL HUTCHINS, 12L. 1..L, GOLF, THE EXERCISER ? The average well-to-do business man with the doubl-e chin and bald head plays golf supposedly for his exercise and good health, but, in reality, does he? About four o'clock on a week-day afternoon, Mr. Business Man l-eaves his office, jumps into his jaloppy, and drives frantically for the golf course. On arriving, he sees the :boys waiting' for him on the first tee. He rushes down to locker room and hastily changes into his golf togsg in record time, Mr. Business Man is out on the tee ready to start the friendly match with his opponents. The friendly match soon terminates in a cut-throat affair. The course is blitzkriegedg turf flies everywhereg cursing is common, clubs fly from the hands of peeved golfers, finally when the dust clears, Mr. Business Man emerges mopping his brow, he is on the verge of a nervous and phy- sical breakdown! He swears he's off the game forever. Cln truth, however, he is already anxious for anoth-er matchj Reluctantly he digs deep into his pocket and pays off his opponents. The players go down into the locker room. Soon someone is heard des- pairing impetuously about missing that eighteen inch putt on the eighth 21 LAWRENCE DIARY or dubbing that easy approach shot on the third. There is the distinct rattle of slot machines which is occasionally drowned out by a burst of laughter. Suddenly someone looks at his watch and shouts, It's seven- thirty, and soup's been on the table for an hour and a half! Jeepers! will the little lady be wild. There is a speedy dash to the jaloppy, and on the way a handful of change is thrown to the Caddie as Mr. Business Man speeds away in a cloud of dust, and arrives home in a completely exhausted condition. As to the effectiveness of golf as an exercise, I will let th-e reader draw his own conclusions. ARTHUR LAWRY, 12L. i-1 THE SCRUB WOMAN After the lights are dimmed in the oflic-es of J. P. Barnam and Com- pany, there comes, like a nocturnal ghost, a bent, tired figure, the scrub woman. Her gnarled, rough fingers and fatigue-bent back distinguish her as a mem-ber of a band who wrok long after others are peacefully slumbering. As she trudges from oiiice to office, one cannot help but notice the wrinkled, homely faceg her straggly, white hair, her dull, fading eyes. Her work is often punctuated with sighsg her movements are slow, and her steps lag. Many times she stumbles and falters as she persistently cleans and scrubs. But steadily on she works until a faint glimmer of dawn breaks through the veil of midnight blue that envelopes the sky. Having finished her work, she steals away, only to return night after night, mingling in th-e shadows, until her life slowly ebbs away, and her tired figure no longer haunts the offices of J. P. Barnam and Company. PATRICIA BURKE, 12L. . ....-.1-.. THE FIRST SNOWFALL White, swirling flakes have silently, fallen to earth. That which was brown and drab is now entirely 'covered with a blanket of whit-e down, the first snow of the year. The world, made unlovely by Jack Frost, has been transformed into a veritable paradise where ev-ery humble bush has won its crown of glory. The trees majestically lifting their limbs are no longer bare, but are clothed in spotless rainments sent from h-eaven. Even the lowly grasses, weighted by their load, are graceful and add to the beauty of the landscape. The Sun has emerged from his place of hiding, and has converted the earth into sparkling kingdom suitable for a fairy queen. No lady of ele- gant society ever wore -diamonds more brilliant than the maple tree beside 22 LAWRENCE DIARY the road. What a miraculous change has taken place in this tree which yesterday was so poorly clad that it shivered in the wind! Now and then some of the precious jewels drop to earth, and the Sun, giver of all charms, will reclaim them. But what does the maple care? What do we care? The first snowfall has mad-e a promise-a promise of even greater splendor in the coming winter. c RACHEL ELLIS, 12L. .l. BOOKS Books throw open the door of opportunities . Books are springs of knowledge. By books one can travel among unknown lands and peopleg one can search for valuable treasuresg one can ride over -the surging ocean. Certainly, no fairy godmother could do more. Books are tools with which one can carve out knowledge. But in order to do this, one must acquire the habit of reading about new and unfamiliar subjects. At first this may seem difficmlt to do, but if we continually strive toward this aim, we will soon lind that we have made considerable progress. Education, an old road and a tried road, leads us on to explore new and untried routes. Books will stant us on the road to learning, and if the road is steadfastly followed, it will never fail one in his thirst for know- ledge. MARIE GAUNCE, 12L. FIRE All was still. Night had fallen on a district in a slum section in New York. The stars, visible in every direction, looked like huge diamonds against the inky blackness of the sky. Everything looked peaceful and calm. The large tenement buildings which resembled high prisons against the blanket of brilliant stars shot endlessly into space. Inside these prisons people were far away in the land of dreamsg peace had come at last after a hard day's work. Surely God must be watching over them. But suddenly, as from nowhere, a hi-deous red glow penetrated the sky. Shadows like mad ghosts chased one another across the black foreboding heavings. A faint smell of smoke began to be sensed, -but as seconds sped on into minutes, the smell became stronger and stronger. The inside of the building became a veritable pandemonium. Lights feebly flickered in all parts of the houseg windows were frantically thrown openg hysterical people gaped out. As many were not yet aware of the approaching catastrophe, the stampede did not start until a woman screamed those terrifying words, FIRE. . People began to rush frantically down fthe narrow fire escapes. Some screamed as they groped their way, mothers clasped their babies to their 23 LAWRENCE DIARY bosomg little children were excited while some had not entirely wakened from their interrupt-ed slumber, many were pitifully crying. Then, as from nowhere, the screaming sirens of the approaching fire- trucks could be heard. The truck's lurid lights, which looked lik-e ghastly monsters in the distance, glared bigger and brighter as they neared the scene of the fire. Ladders were immediately raised, and water was poured on all parts of the structure. The fireman strove desperately to save what- ever they could, but their efforts appeared to be futile. Th-e frenzied people were now screeching and screaming. Many, on the other hand, were too dazed to speak, for before their eyes was crumbling what little hope they had-their world was toppling to ruin. Many were shivering and cold, even though the heat of the licking flames was hot against their bodies. Many helpless souls were perishingg they were mere kindlewood in this burning inferno. The fire was now at its height. Monstrous skyrockets of flame and smoke shot up into space. The soaring flames roared skyward and cast a dazzling glare. The building was beginning to crumble. There was a thunderous crash of falling walls! If one stayed too near, the glare which appeared .brighter than a thousand suns, would sear his skin and sting his eyes. The roaring and the crackling of the wood beat upon the ears of the people like mufiied drums in the distance. Finally, the ravenous flames had been completely satiated, and the fire began to quell. Aid from a near-by R-elief Organization was rushed to the poor, helpless souls. What does Fate hold for these unfortunate people who, standing help- less, have seen their only means of life and happiness .atrociously disap- pear before their eyes? Whatever their future may be, may God Watch over them and help th-em on to a new and better life. L. CAMERON, 12M. 11- PRAYERS As the first ribbon of dawn creeps into the sky, all is quiet in England where a group of American and English soldiers are sitting in their trenches-waiting. The scene changes to a little church somewhere in America. A little old lady enters and kneels in front of the altar. Her lips move in silent prayer while tears, unheeded, course down her ch-eeks. She prays for her -boy over there , for today he goes over the top . Once again the scene changes back to-somewhere in England where her boy sits waiting. The attack is scheduled to take place at sunriseg now the sun is scarcely discernable over the horizon. Most of the boys are sitting in tight-lipped silence with a look of determination on their faces. One stands out among them-a curly-headed young man whose head is bowed 24 LAWRENCE DIARY in prayer. His boyish form looks pathetic as he kneels facing the direction in which America lies. He prays silently and earnestly, and, just as th-e sun slides up from the edge of the world, two prayers traveling on the wings of hope meet up there in heaven's vast -blue dome. The little old lady in the little white church feels her son's nearness and lifts her head, comforted. The boy rises with a smile on his face prepares to meet certain death, comforted by -the knowledge that his mother will be with him, even in death. The shots ring out swiftly and furiously. As the boy races forward, a stray bullet finds its mark, he sinks slowly to the ground. His mother's face appeares before him, and it seems to him that he is talking with her. Back in America, a little old lady's heart is sad, for she knows, with that strange intuition that only mothers have, that the curly-haired 'boy will never return. ARLYNE WITHAM, 12N. THE PAPER BOY One stormy night as I was passing a bleak corner on my way home, I saw a small puny lad about ten years of age trying resperately to sell his last few papers. Wh-en I approached, the lad stepped in front of me and said pleadingly, Please buy .a paper, mister. I could see him shiver with cold as his be- numbed fingers pathetically held out the Night Gazette . Although the little newsboy was extremely neat in his appearance and a paragon of courtesy, one could see that his life had been one of hardship and disappointment. His little face was wan and thin, and he looked as if he seldom, if ever, had a nourishing meal. His clothes were thin and shabby, and you wondered if the threads would hold together against the desperate attempts of the wind to rend them to shreds. The little lad confided in me and told me he had been selling papers on that same corner for over a year, and during the year he had missed but two nights when he had been seriously ill. He also told me that he lived with his widow-ed mother whose livelihood -partly depended on his earnings. As I went on my way with a copy of the Night Gazette' under my arm, I recall a face glowing with thankfulness while a voice trembling with grat- itude shouted Good-night, mister l The child was happy, for he had found a new customer. HAROLD HARRIS, 12L. -l- MY MOST UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER The most unforgettable character that I ever knew was a dear man who passed on into another world. This personage was conscientious and hard-working, everything he did was accomplished with a purpose and a strong conviction. He possessed 25 LAWRENCE DIARY great courage and grave determination. He carried all troubles next to his heart which was always open to new and better things. He possessed tact and candor. He was iit in mind and -body. He upheld the moral side of life to the greatest extent. The Church and God offered relaxation to this wonderful personality. He loved the outdoors. To him, fishing was a sacred pastime. His amusements in life were few, but he was an ardent lover of family life. He took an interest in all that his children did, and looked forward with great anticipation to the futureg he was a proud father. This wonderful gentleman QI call him a gentleman, for I believe he pos- sessed all the fine qualities peculiar to a real gentlemanj possessed a keen sense of humor which delighted all 3 his smile reached to all he encountered and lingered in their heartsg he was loved by both young and old. Surely this man is resting in peace and harmony with God and all of Heaven's rare beauties. Yes, the most vivid, the most lovable character I have ever met was my own dear father. May he watch over his family in this momentous crisis! LENORA A. CAMERON, 12M. 26 LAWRENCE DIARY l . SPORTS REVIEW The primary objective of the Lawrence Sports Review is to bring back former memories not only to all seniors who are graduating but to anyone who has attended Lawrence. This reminder is not meant to be a recollec- tion of Lawrence's athletic heroes or any of their spectacular victories, but a review of everyday sports as we witn-essed them. Probably some of our minds have become somewhat hazy as to the details of a gymnasium class four years ago. If this is the case, I will attempt to clear the fog with a few minor incidents which may stir our m-emories to the recollection of those good old days when we were considered infinites- imal by the upper classmen. Remember how we wanted to get down into th enormous gymnasium the only room in the building the location of which we were certain? Our con- ception of the gym was that it was the only place in the school where one could make all the noise he wished. When we finally entered the gym, we discovered, to our great surprise, that discipline was as strict here as in a class room. Coach Wentworth was the first administrator of law and order in our physical education class. I will end-eavor to describe one of his mid-winter gym classes. The training was of the military type. Everything was conducted on schedule and executed in a most orderly manner. Following marching and warm-up drills, there came mat work which would make present-day parachutists' tumbling routine look like a pushover! Strangely enough there were no casualties! The latter part of the period was devoted to the seasonal sport. The teams would be evenly matched by the coach, and all officiating was done by him. Coach Wentworth, once captain of a Notre Dame basketball team, was one of us in every sense of the word. He was truly a great leader and on-e that we will all remember, admire, and respect. Our next coach was Mr. Flumere, a Northeastern graduate. Coach Flu- mere did not stress physical education in the gym classes to such an extent as did Coach Wentworth, but he would go all out to develop teams for the future by shifting the best from every class and giving them his special attention. He would do everything to safeguard the health of a player who was to make a public appearance under his direction. His teams were going to be well-drilled, snappy, in good condition, and well-equipped. 27 LAWRENCE DIARY Coach Flumere will always be remembered by the boys who will never fail to speak a good word for him. After Coach FluInere's departure, Coach Keady took the coaching reins to drive Lawrence Basketball team back into the Northern Maine tourna- mentg the result was that the team lost in its first encounter. When talking about sports, winning or losing is not the important factor if you take into consid-eration the meaning of the word sports , Teams or individuals play these games to win, or there wouldn't be any sense in playing, but oftimes vanquished feelings are shown too outwardly. Coach Keady was one of the few coaches who never allowed trifles to perturb him, or, at least, he never outwardly showed their effects. If the old saying, A change of pasture fattens the cow, has any degree of truth, the prodigies of the annual change in Lawrence's coaches must have thrived very well in the field of physical -education. The latest coach is Coach Violette. His good merits are shown -by his good work. Actions speak louder than words, so we will skim over the success of his school year in coaching football, basketball, and baseball. GERALD BRIGGS, 12L. l.. FooTBALL Hopes for a successful football season were not too bright because there was a lack of veterans to return from the previous season's team. This held no fears for our coach, and he developed from a group of rookies what could be called a most successful football team. This will be proved in the following summary of the games. The football season op-ened September 26, by clashing with Orono upon their battlefield. When one looks at scores, please remember that A poor beginning is a sign of a good ending! 'Lawrence 7-Orono 13. The Skowhegan Indians were the next rivals to test an improving but a still weak line. The Indians did not give the Bulldogs the supreme test as they had in former years. The Bulldogs were on the initiative when they snatched the Indians' war clubs and beat out the time of a 26-6 victory. Winslow was by no means the motto of the Black Raiders in the Lawrence-Winslow game. Over-confidence on the part of the players caused Lawrence one of the main factors disappointing defeat. Winslow 24-Lawrence 0. The next tilt was with Hallowell. After the Winslow game, the team began to really knuckle down and get to work which resulted in a 20-14 win over our opponents. John Bapst was the next team to get defeated by Lawrence. The Queen City boys proved to be a tough competition, as their team surpassed ours in size, however, the team must have lacked something which our boys possessed since the final score was Lawrence 7-John Bapst 0. 285 LAWRENCE DIARY his i FOOTBALL TEAM The second encounter with the Indians also proved successful. The Bulldogs won by a 19-9 score. The season closed on Armistice Day, when a return game was played with Hallowell. This was a difficult game to play, as the field was wet and muddy. However, this did not prevent our boys from gaining a 18-7 victory. Th-e following received letters: Worth Low, -Gerald Briggs, Richard Ackley, Roland Webber, William Clark, Edward Costello, John Brophy, Robert Violette, Henry Nickolas, Frank Grover, Lester Gilbert, Louis Mul- hern, Robert O'Donnell, Harold Flagg, Ray McGregor, Louis Violette, Wil- fred B-elanger, John Nimon, Arthur Lawry, Osborne Ellis, Gerald Donahue, Manager. ...l..l,-...l-- BASKETBALL It was not -expected that this season's basketball team would be as suc- cessful as last season's, as many of the stellar players had graduated with the class of '42, In spite of this, however, the season turned out to be very successful. The season opened by a game with the Colby Freshmen. This game could not be counted on as one of the seasonal games, as there was no return game played. The Colby Freshmen won 42-28. 29 LAWRENCE DIARY GIRLS' BASKETBALL VARSITY BASKETBALL JUNIOR BASKETBALL LAWRENCE DIARY Perhaps no other game of the season is more keenly anticipated than the game with the Alumni. Everyone on the team knows his opponent and always. tries to get his goat by saying something personal. CWhy not with meat rationing as it is at present !!!D This year's team proved its superiority by a 27-17 victory over the alumni. The game played with Madison proved to be one of the most exciting games of the y-ear. Just as the Madison fans thought all was lost for Law- rence and were contemplating a celebration of victory, Lawrence suddenly came from behind and marched on to a 27-21 victory. To prove the excite- ment that prevailed among the spectators, in th-e last few minutes of the game, Madison rooters even cheered for Lawrence!!! The score itself tells the story in the next game-Lawrence 34-Madison 33. The game was even more exciting than the one we played at Madison. Although we dropped a 51-36 victory to Waterville, it can be said that the Blue and Gray team didn't lack fight which is a compliment to any team. Waterville had a small edge on height, but a much greater edge on shooting. The long shots of the Waterville basketeers was something to be marveled at. Both games with Winslow also proved to be disappointing. The Winslow players handled the ball expertly. Sometimes it seemed as though Law- rence would catch fire and burn brightly, only to be smothered and quelled in a short time by the opposing team. The final scores Were: Winslow 42- Lawrence 34 fherejg Winslow 60-Lawrence 44 ftherej. In the game with Skowhegan, Lawrenc-e hit a new high by scoring 65 points. Skowhegan was buried under an avalanche of well-directed shots. The final score was Lawrence 65-Skowhegan 34. The Bulldogs' trip ,to Bangor resulted in a victory and a defeat. In the game with Brewer, Lawrence awoke in the final period to come through with a 43-29 victory, and although Lawrence played a nip and tuck battle with the John Bapst Crusaders the result was a 41-38 defeat. The iinal game of the season was played against Waterville, the so-called State Champs . Lawrence was left woefully behind as Waterville pulled away to an overwhelming lead in the first half. In the s-econd half, a re- j uvenated Lawrence team fought an uphill battle to nearly knot the score, for at one time the Bulldogs were within four points of the Panthers. Although out-pointing Waterville the last half 21-13, the game ended on the bitt-er note of a 38-32 defeat. The following players received letters: Richard Ackley, Gerald Briggs, Arthur Lawry, Thomas Peters, Reginald Gousse, Louis Violette, John Nimon, John Brophy, Arthur Julia, Edward Reid, Melvin Snow Manager.

The following boys participated: Robert McDonough, Floyd Case, Donald Tremblay, Frank Grover, Richard Charity, John Hunt-er, Joseph Nelson, Roy MacGregor, Henry Nicholas, William Chase, Turner Lawry, Gerald Briggs.

Lawrence Coburn 15 .. . . GIRLS' BASKETBALL With the graduating class of 1942 went the hopes of a better basketball season for 1942-43. However, the team proved to have a very successful season. Because of the lack of transportation facilities, the team was not able to play as many games as usual. The on-e big game of the season was played against South Portland. This trip being made by train. Although the girls put up good opposition, it proved to be the second and last spill of the season. The girls receiving letters are: Martha Benner, Mary Bowker, Theresa Brooks, Patricia Burke, -Dorothy Chapman, Marietta Crabtree, Theresa Desmond, J un-e Holt, Mildred Howland, J oycelene King, Simone LaFlamme, Marion McPherson, Marguerite McCormick, Doreen Paquette.

The schedule for the season has been confined to a small area, but the games should be most interesting, since they are to be played with neigh- boring schools which can be reached by our local bus lin-e. What name could be more appropriate than the Bus Line League, which is the name given to this year's baseball league! Five schools are to be entered in this leagueg namely, Waterville, Win- slow, Coburn, Oakland, and Lawrence. Four of the coaches of these schools are graduates of Colby, and were catchers on the White Mule team. This is an unusual coincidence and this fact alone should make the rivalry very keen. The schedule is as follows: May 3 Coburn at Lawrence May Lawrence at Coburn May 10 Lawrence at Winslow May Winslow at Lawrence May 13 Waterville at Lawrence June Lawrence at Waterville May 17 Lawrence at Williams June Williams at Lawrence i .1 1-- TRACK Because of the size of our school, Lawrence has put more stress on its three major sports: basketball, football, and baseball, nevertheless there has been much interest in track and Several individuals have made excellent records in this sport. This year, because of war conditions, there will be few Track Meets, however, there will be the Kennebec Valley Meet which is held every year. Lawrence will be represnted at this meet and we are counting on several boys to make this year's team a success. p GERALD BRIGGS, 12L. 33 LAWRENCE DIARY 0 ancfrq' ASSIGNMENTS FOR THE COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM Valediclory ...................................,...............

In December, a Swing Band was organized by Orville Ranger. Other senior members included: George Bri-er, Harold Harris, and Jean Henry. Several seniors had leading parts in the operetta, Iolanthe, which was presented by the Glee Club. Those having leads were :Patricia Burke, Ger- ald Briggs, Madeline Chase, and Jean Henry. Each year the girl in the Senior class who best typiiies the qualities of good citizenship is elected as a candidate to attend the D. A. R. Convention held in Washington, D. C. To be elected as candidate is considered one of the highest honors that can be bestowed on a senior girl. This year our candidate was Patricia Burke. ' ' ' Th-e war greatly affected the class of '43. Early in the year several of our classmates left school to work on farms, to work in defense industries, or to join the armed forces. Raymond Jones was the first member of our class to enlistg he left in April to join the Merchant Marine. Several mem+ bers of the class expect to be inducted into the Army sometime in June. The J unior-Senior Prom, which was held on May 28th, terminated the events of the year. Thus ends the last and most eventful year of the class of '43. The following seniors have participated in various activities during the school year: ' ' Football: Belanger, Witham, Lawry, Violette, Ackley, Grover, Mulhurn, Flagg, O'D'0nnell, Briggs, and Low.

We try to follow the Golden Rule And to be the nicest class in school! The following is not a biography of the Junior Class, it is merely a summary of activities and a means of showing you, the reader, how well the class is represented in scholastic activities.

D orothy Mower Treasurer ........... ..... A nn Gilford Girls' Representative .... ..... E thel MacBeth Boys' Representative . . . ..... john Brophy Class Adviser ...................... Miss Totman As the Junior Class was anxious to improve its financial standing, it decided to sponsor a Football Dance. This dance was appropriately held the night before the John B-apst-Lawrence game. The climax of the dance was the coronation of a Football King and Queen, Fred Belanger and The- resa Brooks. The dance -proved a great success. The juniors formed an auditorium -Club and an English Club. The Eng- lish Club sponsored a mystery party, the Mix Kix Bix Pix fMr. Kelly's Birthday Partyj. This party was also very successful. Another party, a Victory Party, was given by the class to help promote the sales of Defense Stamps. ' ' The juniors then started preparation for the annual Junior Speaking Contest. Preliminaries were held and ten contestants were chosen for the finals: Roscoe Goodwin, Bettina Brown, Kenneth Wentworth, Natalie Hunt- er, Jeanette Champine, John Brophy, Paul Poulin, Osborne Ellis, Frances Rafferty, and Linwood Grendall. The three final winners were: first place, Paul Pouling second place, Osborne Ellisg third place, Natalie Hunter, hon- orable mention, Kenneth Wentworth.

George Henry Vice-President . . . . . . George Heath Secretary ...... ..... R obert Francis Treasurer h ......................... Beverly Haywood Class Adviser ...................... Mr. Clement The first activity of the Sophomore Class was to form an Auditorium Club. The primary purpose of the club is to instruct the pupils in parlia- mentary procedure, to develop self-confidence, skill in articulation and dic- tion, and the development of special talents. It was decided to elect n-ew officers every seven weeks. The president for the first term was Gloria MacLeod: for the second term, Arnold Boutin: for the third term, Reta Lawry. In October the 10G and the 101-I classes formed English Clubs under the direction of Miss McClintock. These two clubs are presenting an Anniver- sary Ball on May 14th. A unique entertainment with many specialties is being planned, and the party promises to be one of the highlights of the year. At the Ecnerwal Fair, which was sponsored by the Lawrence Assembly, 37 LAWRENCE DIARY five sophomore girls appeared in a play entitled Be a Little Cuckoo. The characters were as follows: Beverly Haywood, Mary Heath, Jeanette Gur- ney, Florenc-e Wainer, and Gloria MacLeod. At the May Ball, which was the culmination of the Ecnerwal Fair, several girls from the Sophomore Class participated in a May Pole Dance: Beverly Haywood, Pauline Burgess, Beatrice Mclnnis, Mary Heath and Gloria Mac- Leod.

As you have probably guessed it was Freshman Day-a day filled with fun and humiliation! In the evening the Freshman Reception was held in the .auditorium. The following week the class formed English Clubs under the direction of Miss Wein. In November, a Victory Party was sponsored, and the party proved very successful. In December, A Christmas play entitled The Toy Shop was presented in assembly. The cast was as follows: Adrienne Beaulieu, Constance Bi- n-ette, Norman Easler, Jeannine Fowler, Robert Fales, Theodore Julia, Ed- win Pillsbury, Lawrence Proulx, Lucille Violette, and Peter Wainer. 38 LAWRENCE DIARY Our next venture in dramatics was the one-act play, Pink and Patches, which was directed by Miss Totman.

MURIEL MITCHELL, 9E. l..-ili.. . THE L. H. S. BAND The Lawrence Band Drive, which was started last year, has gained the total of over four hundred and fifty dollars. Much to the delight of band members and of the director, Mr. Roundy, military-styled uniforms have been purchased with this money. , The L. H. S. Band, which was organized in 1938, has had an unusually successful year. The principal reason for the rapid improvement of the band is that every Monday and Thursday the less-experienced members of each section rehearse with Mr. Roundy. The band has played for all home football games, two minstrels sponsored' by the Townsend Club, several basketball games, assembly programs, and at a Band Concert. The band Wishes to thank all persons who have contributed their time and money to its support, especially the Old Timers,' who have played several basketball games, the proceeds of which were turned over to the band. The membership of the b-and has gradually increased until we now have nearly forty pieces: it is expected that soon the band will number fifty pieces. 39 LAWRENCE DIARY BAND Thus We leave the Band of Lawrence High School with the cherished hope that each succeeding year it will grow larger and better under the excellent guidance of our director, Mr. Roundy. O. RANGER, 12L. li...... ...1. GLEE CLUB Glee Club! As the name itself suggests, we have fun and many good times together. I will attempt to tell you about some of our activities. At the beginning of the year, underclassmen are invited to join the Glee Club. After b-eing duly initiated, they are introduced to the art of singing. Try-outs ar-e held and the members are arranged according to their voice range. Early in December the Glee Club begins to prepare for its first public appearance. At the last assembly before the Christmas vacations, the Glee Club presents the story -of the birth of Christ. Several soloists partic- ipate and songs are sung by the entire ensemble. Though there is no ap- plause at'the conclusion of the program, the favorable comments which ai received are especially gratifying. Every year the Glee Club presents either a Hit Parade or an Op-eretta. This year the operetta Iolanthe is being presented. The cast has been chosen from the junior and senior classesg several underclassmen are in the chorus. Iolanthe is a typical Gilbert and Sullivan production. Satire directed against the British Parliament prevails throughout the operetta. Stephan, an Arcadian shepherd who is deep-ly in love with Phylis, a Ward in Chan- 40 LAWRENCE DIARY GLEE CLUB cery, creates the romantic phase of the operetta. These characters together with the Lord High Chancellor, the Queen, Iolanthe, the peers, and the fairies creates a fascinating and amusing plot. This production is under the direction of Mrs. Gertrude Smith whose past success has proven her competence in this work. Now that you know of some of the activities of the Glee Club and of our many successes, don't you think you would like to become a mem-ber? PATRICIA BURKE, 12L. .l- ORCHESTRA N The Lawrence High School Orchestra, which is under the careful direc- tion of Mrs. Gertrude Smith, has done exceedingly W-ell this year in spite of the fact that several veteran players were lost by graduation. The twenty-five members of the orchestra have very faithfully attended the one-hour rehearsals held each week during the activities period, and have worked diligently during that time. This year the scarcity of violin players has been a serious handicap, so it is hoped that neXt year several new violin players will become members of this organization. The gift of a cello to the school this year added a second cello to the orchestra. The orchestra has furnished music for two of the most outstanding 41 LAWRENCE DIARY ' ORCHESTRA entertainments of the year: Junior Readings -and the Red Cross Minstrelg it has also played at several assembly programs. The orchestra has been represented at various Music Festivals where it has received superior ratings. While there will be no annual Music Festival this year because of lack of transportation facilities, the orchestra is to participate in a concert to be held at Waterville, May 21. This is a tri-school concert presented by the musical organizations of Winslow, Waterville, and Fairfield. H. GOODWIN, 12L. L. H. S. EXECUTIVE BOARD The L. H. S. Executive Board has held many meetings, and has been called upon to make many important decisions. Parliamentary procedure was not always strictly followed, as many meetings had to be more or less informal. The Board had to draw up committ-ees for the Ecnerwal Fair and the May Ball, both of which went over with a surprising amount of success. The Board was also responsible for the blacking out of the upper portions of the auditorium windows which resulted in the movies -being much more enjoyable. Two members of the Board, Ethel MacBeth and Orville Ranger, were elected as representatives of Lawrence High to attend the annual meeting 42 LAWRENCE DIARY ' of the State Student Councils' Association at Augusta. At an assembly held in the auditorium, these representatives told about their trip, before the entire student body. We wish next year's Board lots of luck, and hope that th-ey will make many wise decisions. O. RANGER, 12L. 1- BUGLE AND :DIRUM CORPS The Bugle and Drum Corps, which was organized in October, 1940, now consists of: eight drummers, a base drum, one cymbal, twenty bugles, and ten drum majorettes. This organization has been represented at several Music Festivals, and' at last year's festival which was held at Lewiston, it r-eceived an excellent DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS ratingg it has also played at several Play Days and has participated in Memorial Day parades. It is hoped that the membership will be increased during the coming year, and that the members will be able to accomplish even more than they have previously. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to Mr. Edward St. Peter, our director, for his interest and co-operation.

Mr. Hazen The Fairfield Chapter of the Future Farmers has been very active this year and has taken part in numerous activities including the following: During the school year two gardens have been planted C-each garden was approximately three-fourth of an acrej and two gardens have been har- vested. Seventeen acres of beans have been pulled and bunched for various farm- ers in the community Six acres of potatoes have been picked. A large amount of poultry has been killed and dressed for market. The Green Hand Degree was given to fourteen candidates, and the Future Farmers Degree was conferred upon seven candidates. During class, soil which has been brought in by farmers, has b-een tested. Several trees have been planted at the Keyes Athletic Field. 44' LAWRENCE DIARY An assembly program was presented by various members of the organi- zation. Two members with our instructor, Mr. Hazen, represented Lawrence High School at the State Convention h-eld at the University of Maine. The organization joined the Red Cross, gathered 4,200 lbs. of scrap iron and 900 lbs. of scrap rubber. Twenty-five winter projects have been carried out in addition to the required summer projects. The net cash value of all projects carried on during the summer amounted to S2,035.59. The members of the Fairfield Chapter of Future Farmers wish to express their appreciation to their adviser, Mr. Hazen, whose untiring efforts are responsible for the success of the Organization. RICHARD MCIQECHNIE, 12M. l-,iii-ii MILITARY TRAINING The war has definitely effected the students of Lawrence High School. Military Training is now given to the boys of the Junior and Senior Classes. What might, in peace times, seem a strange sight is now a common occur- rence as we see large groups of boys marching in unison and executing perfectly the difficult Army flank movements. Military Training has been adopted, since many of the boys who are now in school will soon be in the Armed Forces. Besides teaching the boys how to march, Military Training teaches them to obey orders quickly which will be of great advantage when they actually enter the Armed Forces. The Training Program is under the able direction of Edward Shibley and John Evers. In less than a month these leaders have organized an excep- tionally fine military organization. Uniforms have been ordered, and in collaboration with the American Legion Post, several dances and scrap drives will be sponsored to assist in paying for these uniforms. RICHARD ACKLEY, 12L. .l, WINTER CARNIVAL A gala event took place at Memorial Park, Saturday, March 13. The occa- sion was the Lawrence Winter Carnival under the direction of Miss Luella Cleveland. ' Many sports were enjoyed: skiing, sliding, tobogganing, snowshoeing, burlap bag races, and sculpturing. Everyone helped to make a huge snow man, and each group sculptured different figures. . The highlight of the day was the Carnival Ball which was held in the 45 LAWRENCE DIARY high school auditorium. At this time, Mr. Kelly crowned the Carnival Queen, Miss Gloria Begin. Miss Begin had for her attendants: Doreen Pauquette, Theresa Desmond, Loretta Beaulieu, Simmone LaFlamme, Gem- ma LaFlame, and Dorothy Briggs. The queen was dressed in a red skirt and a white sweater while her attendants wore black skirts and red blouses. After the coronation, prizes for the various contests were awarded to the following: Doreen Paquette, Louis Violette, Caroline Mingo, Richard Ackley, Turner Lawry, Edward Proctor, Melvin Snow, Miss Margaret Tot- man, Miss Lucile McClintock, Mrs. Gertrude Smith, and Coach Violette. The Winter Carnival was an event which will never be forgotten by the students of Lawrence High School. LORETTA BEAULIEU, 12N . --i.-..,.i-...,.... ECNERWAL FAIR On the afternoon of April 30, 1943, the pupils of Lawrence High School enjoyed the Ecnerwal Fair. The name Ecnerwal was derived by spelling Lawrence backward. The main part of the fair took place in the gymnasium which was lined with booths, namely, fortune-telling, fancy work, victory, woodworking, dart throwing, penny toss, ping-pong, bowling, refreshment, and a fish pond. However, the Hall of Fame, Seven Wonders of the World, and the Ecnerwal Courtroom were located on the first floor. The Hall of Fame consisted of a number of pictures of prominent figures in town. The fact that these pictures were not altogether new only tended to make them more interesting. The Seven Wonders of the World was an exhibit of rare what-cha-ma-callits, doojiggers, and guess- whats. For instance, one article advertised as a striking object turned out to be a plain, ordinary hammerg another, Ruins of Old China, was in reality a broken teacupg and yet another entitled Old Fossils , proved to be a few pictures of our charming teacher in amusing, and I might add, rather surprising poses. The Ecnerwal Courtroom was a place set aside for the apprehension of people who were having too much fun or to little fun: those who were spending too much money or not enough: and those who were paying too much attention to the girls, or vice versa. If the defendant was found guilty he had to pay a small fine or else go to jail. In the evening, two one-act plays were presented. The first, entitled Be a Little Cuckoo, was put on by the sophomore class and was coached by Miss Wein. The second was presented by the freshman class. It was entitled Pink and Patches, and w.as coached by Miss Totman. Between plays a large, beautifully decorated cake was auctioned off by Mr. Ralph Jewell. 46 LAWRENCE DIARY On the evening of May the first, a May Ball was held in the auditorium. A large crowd was present, consisting of alumni and parents, as well as students. 1 The auditorium was decorated in Pan-American style, and the orchestra was dressed in South American garb. Tabl-es were reserved for those who wished to play cards. Three specialties were presented! A vocal solo by Miss O'Hara, a tap dance by Patricia Gaunce, and a May Pole Dance. Re- freshments Were served and a good time was enjoyed by all. ORVILLE RANGER, 12L. ...iq-i. .i.... THE SENIOR PLAY The Senior Play presented by the class of '43 is a joyous, fast-moving comedy in three acts entitled China Boy. The comedy represents life in the home of a typical American family. Will Parker, the father, is principal of the Middlesboro High School, and although he has no trouble enforcing discipline at school, he and his wife, Emily, find it another problem to do so at home with their seventeen-year old son, Bill, and their sixteen-year-old daughter, Selma, who are passing through the trying and troublesome period of adolescence. Bill, who is a football enthusiast, refuses to take his share of responsi- bilities around the house. Selma, too, has only one interest in life, which is to win the Middlesboro Munchie-Crunchie Ice Cream Company's Popu- larity Contest and get a free trip to Hollywood for herself and her mother. This is how things stand when a letter is received from Emily's sister, a missionary's wife in China, announcing the coming of her son, Mark, to the Parkers' home where he will stay and continue his education in America. Mark, according to the letter, is a model virtue, a wonderful boy, and as nearly perfect as any human could be. When he arrives, he lives up to his reputation in every way. He is always trying to :be helpful, and if any- thing goes wrong, Mark oHers a solution to the problem with an appro- priate quotation from Confucius. Mark gets along very well with Mr. and Mrs. Parker, but with the young folks, especially Bill and Selma, he just doesn't fit . He isn't a regular fellow, and he doesn't understand the rules of their game. Then Lula Mae Robinson, a twelve-y-ear-old terrorist, takes Mark under her protecting wing and tells him he must stop being a goody-goody, and that he must do something to ire her aunt and uncle before the young folks will let him be one of them. Marks ridiculous efforts to get in Wrong with Will and Emily, and how he finally succeeds in becoming a regular, promises many a comic situation. 47 LAWRENCE DIARY The cast of characters is as follows: Mrs. Parker, the mother ............ ......

Robert O'Donnell - DEFENSE BOND DRIVE Although the sale of bonds and stamps is not a school activity, it has played an important part in our school. Every Friday has been Stamp Day, and, with very little effort, the students have done a splendid job in helping to do our bit for the War Effort. Our weekly sales, together with our two drives, Pearl Harbor Week , December 7-11, and Revenge Week,' April 26-30, we have sold over 83,850.00 in bonds and stamps. Forty-four bonds have been bought by students. Thomas Newell is leading with a total purchase of 3575.00 O. RANGER, 12L. 48 LAWRENCE DIARY anzzwfemfmwmpaezi DAYDREAMING Here I am in the library Where everyones busy but me, But I'm just sitting and thinking, For Pm not very studious, you see. All around me pupils are sitting Apparently studying hard! However, we won't know the answer 'Til we see their next rank card! Downstairs the piano is playing, And voices are sweet and clearg They fill all our hearts with gladness And banish all sorrow and fear. Typewriters are noisily clicking, Harkl a teacher's voice is heard Undoubtedly giving a scolding To a pupil who has erred. How typical this is of America, The land of the brave and the free, Where I can sit and study Or daydream as long as I please! IVA DEARBORN 1214 ..., ..i. - HIS LAST THOUGHTS As he walked along the endless trail, He was thinking of his home- Of a home there by the seashore Where the waves were tipped with foam He was thinking of a rocky point Where he'd watched the ships go byg He was thinking of a tall, steep hill Where kites had flown on highg 49 1 LAWRENCE DIARY He was thinking of his dear, old mother And of dad and brother, too 3 He was thinking of a brown-eyed lass Who had promised to be true. His thoughts were thus as on he walked Knowing not what lay ahead 3 These sweet thoughts were to be his last, For in a moment he was dead. Yes, he had died in battle, But his soul will rest in peaceg He had fought for one great purpose- That war might fofrever cease. FRANK GROVER, 12L. - LIFE The soft patter of rain on roofs at twilight, The winds sighing in trees at dawn, The cheering chirp of birds in summer, The restful quiet when day is gone, The fiesta of leaves in autumn, The first buds in early spring, The white-covered earth in winter, What do all these bring? Life in all its glory! Life for young and old! Life for the high and lowly! Life for the weak and bold! PATRICIA BURKE, 12L. SELECTING A BOOK This afternoon I'll read a book, As l've nothing else to dog So from the bookshelf I take the book That first comes to my view. This one's too long and much to thick, So back to the shelf it goes! This time, I'll select a thinner one- One that I'll enjoy, I know. Oh, dearie me! again I've erred! In this book the print's too fine. 50 LAWRENCE DIARY Who'd have thought to choose a book One could have such a time! This time I closed my eyes and picked My choice, The Nigger's Other Son, Alas! I can now relax And get my reading done. So from the book I blow the dust, And from page to page I look. But imagine my disgust to find, Not a picture in the book! It seems I can't be satisfiedg On none of these books am I keen- But wait! just now I've spied My stand-by, the comic magazine! ARTHUR LAWRY, 12L. i... .. -- THE MEN OF 12L ACKLEY is our president, and a very good one, too, When'er our class becomes confused, he always pulls us through. AVERILL is a pool shark, and the best in the school, And we'll all admit that John's quick wit is very hard to fool! BRIGGS is a fiery redhead who yearns for Brewer town. The reason, if you'd like to know, is that his friends won't let him down! BRIER is a Georgia boy from way down in the South, And only words of wisdom are known to issue from his mouth. FLAGG is known throughout the school for his unenvied grades. His motto regarding studies is: Heroes are born, not made. HARRIS is our class musician who can really toot his horn, And 'tis safe to say that not a soul looks on him with scorn. HENRY is a bashful boy who studies all the while, No matter how you trouble him, he takes it with a smile. LAWRY is a silent fellow with a very high I. Q., He never has a worry, and his mistakes are very few. MULHERN is a sturdy lad with a wonderful gift for fooling, And although sometimes he's inattentive in class, we know he's fond of schooling. ODONNELL is a lady's man whom everyone admires. He says he has the looks and charm that a Romeo requires! RANGER is an ambitious lad with plenty of work to dog He never quits on anything until he's seen it through. SMITH is a studious chap who blushes all the time! He says that passing notes in school is his one and only crime! 51 LAWRENCE DIARY SNOW is really a comedian with all his jokes and songsg His ambition is to appear in public in a little pink sarong! VIOLETTE wants to be a coach and manage a basketball team, But after a recent true experience, it could only be a dream! WITHAM is a clever fellow when it comes to taking tests, And I'm sure everyone agrees his system is the best! Now that you have read this poem, I think you will agree That a better group of fellows, You'll surely never see! FRANK GROVER, 12L. OUR SWING BANTD No matter what time, place, or occasion, You can employ our Swing Band with a little persuasion. Just see how your cares fade quickly away As to the strains of our music you swing and sway! We hunted and hunted to find a good name But the newly organized Swing Band that is headed for fame. The Utopians is the name we decided on, And to furnish good music we are relied upon. We play sometimes for money, sometimes for fame, And .if you want us for charity, you'll still find us game. We do enjoy playing, our good will is sincere, For we like to bring others lots of fun and good cheer. 'GEORGE BRIER, 12L. WEATHER Old Man Winter has sure done his stuff ! I've waded and shoveled 'til I'm in a huff ! He sent the thermometer to forty below, And then, by gorry, he poured on snow! It iiurried and flew and drifted and blew 'Til I thought I'd sure die in trying to get through. How often I've thought of the warm sunny South! Did I ever complain 'cause we once had a drought? In summer, we complain 'cause it's much too warm, In winter, we shiver and wad-e through the storm. But what, I ask you, can this poem be about , If the weather I can not complain about? GEORGE BRIER, 12L. 52 LAWRENCE DIARY FRIENDS Is life treating you fairly and kindly? Do things always seem to be gay? Are friends as true as in yesteryear? Does their faithfulness fade away? Do memories linger within your heart Of days you've splent with friends? Or are these friends ins-ensible ghosts When sorrow rushes in ? Is this life what you've always expected? Is it what you have treasured so high? Are you constantly true to your friends, And ever ready to guide? Whenever it's time to comfort a friend And to offer your sympathy, too, Do you prove to be always the kind of a friend That you'd wish him to be to you? . ' ' ni' If each link in the chain of true friendship You cherish and hold ev-er dear, Then you are a friend that is steadfast and true, Not for days, but for year after year. THERESA BROOKS 1 ..l...i.i-l NATURE IS CALLING The depths of the forest are calling me! The little brown thrush and the tall pin-e tree, The brook, the insects, and animals small Each seems to tempt me with its clear ringing call. I long for a glimpse of the deep blue sky, The timid deer and the foxes slyg For the brook with water so fresh and coolg For the white birch grove and the mirrored pool. Life in the city's so hot and dry, Where the busy wheels whirl and the sirens cryg Where the sun is not seen as it travels the sky Because of the buildings which tower so high. But out with nature where the -breezes play, Where the wild flowers bloom and the rabbits stay, 53 2L. LAWRENCE DI-ARY I'm sure to find welcome and comfort there Away from the city and its burdens and cares. So you who are weary and long for a rest Why not go to the forest where life's at its best, And there spend a blissful week or two At good Mother Nature's rendezvous? HARRIET GOODWIN, 12L. - A TRIP Here comes the train with a whistle shrill 'Cross the high railroad bridge, through valley, o'er hill! Now to the station it draws ever nigh 3 Now travel-weary passengers get oi? with a sigh. They are glad that their trip is at last at an end, But I get on glad I'm to visit a iiriend! All aboard ! shouts the conductor as the train starts on, And I search for a seat ere the last one is gone I've started a journey which will last all day, But what fun I am having as I speed on my way! The time passes quickly, and does each mile, 'Til I come to the end and see my friend's smile. MABEL OTIS, 12L. --+ i... THE WIND The wind is a mysterious thing. From whence it comes and where It goes on velvet wings, Man knows not. It is real only in soundg Its secret veiled from sight Still remains a msystery. It touches the che-ekg It blows the hairy It is realg Yet there is nothing thereg It whistles in the tree tops 5 It bends the grasses lowg Sight unseen it rushes by- A mystery unsolved!

Miss Cameron is now one of America's leading newspaper women. A rap is heard at the door and Miss Cameron rises to answer itg she is greatly surprised to see one of her former classmates, Mary Wood.J LENORA: Well, this is a surprise! Come in. My, but you look nice! Sit down and tell me all about yourself. MARY: Well, there really isn't much to tell. You look fine yourself. Some apartment you have here! As you probably know, SI have been mar- ried quite a few years, and I am the proud mother of nine lovely children, eight boys and one girl. We are still living on a .big farm in the Center, and believe me, it's quite a care! LENORA: Mercy, Mary, nine children and you look so young! How do you do it? I wish I had your vitality. MARY: I guess you'd get used to it if you lived in the country. I thought 57 LAWRENCE DIARY I would like to visit New York for a few days, and then I remembered you were hereg so here I am !' LENORA: 'Tm sure glad to see you. I'll do my best to show you the great sights of the city. MARY: Lee, do you ever hear from or about any other of our class- mates ? LENORA: Yes, occasionally I get letters from some of them. I also have the Sentinel every day, so, of course, that keeps me pretty well posted. MARY: Do you get th-e Sewtinel here in New York? ' LENORA: Well, sort of indirectly. You see Mother sends it to me. I get it a day late, of course. MARY! I don't suppose you have an old Year Book around have you? LENORA: Yes, I think I do have one somewhere. If you'll excuse me just a minute, I'll see if it's here in the bookcase. Yes, here it is, I haven't looked at it for quite a while. When I get homesick, I get it out and browse through it. MARY: Maybe we can tell each other some interesting things about some of our classmates. I've lost track of a great many of them. LENORA: Doesn't the picture of the high school look good? As long as I have been traveling I haven't seen a school that I liked any better than good old Lawrence. We surely had some swell times there, didn't we? MARY: I'l1 say. Here's Dicky Ackley. He hasn't changed very muchg he's still rather shyg he is president of the Fairfield bank. - - LENORA: Oh, h-e is? He always was a smart boy. And here's John Averill. I never hear anything about him. What is he up to now ? MARY! Oh, John is quite a man. He is now the head of the underpass, W.P.A. project in Fairfield. LENORA: My, haven't they built that underpass yet? I bet John will hurry them along. Her-e's Red Briggs. I suppose you know he is a big- time comedian and is also the proud father of red headed twins. By the way, he did finally marry that girl from Millinocket. MARY: Theresa Brooks is now a teacher at L.H.S. She is head of the Latin department. You know that is the last thing I ever thought Theresa would turn out to be! But then, one never knows, does one? And Pat Burke is happily married to one of her old boy friends. She liked the Navy pretty well, didn't she? LENORA: She certainly did l MARY: I suppose you know that Iva Dearborn is now a model for the Plwre Silk Hosiery Company. They say she tips the scales at 104. Isn't that amazing? LENORA: I'll say! I bet all the boys fall for her figure! And what is Harold Flagg doing now? I never hear anthing about him! MARY: Oh, Harold is now manager of the Pwritan. He has come up in the world. And of course we all know about Marie Gaunce. She is cur- rently starring on Broadway. I hear she is going to sign a contract with 58 LAWRENCE DIARY Paramount next fall. She always was good in dramatics. I'll never forget her Junior Reading. LENORA: Harriet Goodwin is having a wonderful life. I suppose you are looking forward to hearing one of her beautiful concerts while you are here in New York. I have attended all of them. She is a sensation. What is Frank Grover doing now? H-e always was up to something. MARY: Frank is a guide in the Maine woods. I hear that quite a few dear have caught him, too! LENORA: I never thought he would do anything as tame as that. How he has changed! I suppose you heard Harold Harris over the radio. He plays from th-e Rainbow Room here in New York I think he is as good as Harry James used to be. MARY! And here is Raymond Jones. He was the hero of our class. He was always making some girl fall for him and then he'd leave her flat. I read in the paper the oth-er day where he was filing petition for a divorce from his fifth wife, the former Hollywood actress Babyface Davis. Ray- mond has just completed his third picture. He's on the way up! he is now Metro's hero ! LENORA: I guess he is! Lawrence Byrne is also starring in the movies. He has the leading part in the Superman serial. He has attained great strength. I guess it must be from eating so much of that ice cream when he work-ed down at the Creamery. And Arthur Lawry is now roaming the wild jungles of Africa looking for big game. MARY: That must be some life! Robert OiDfonnell was recently crowned tennis champ of the world. He got his ability from playing with Don Budge after he graduated from school. I hear h-e is also going to be a tennis instructor at an exclusive girls' school in Maine. He says he is just doing this for a pleasant pastime. LENORA: What is Mabel Otis doing now? MARY: She is principalxof the school in the Center. LENORA: I always thought she would turn out to be a teacher. I saw Governor Ranger's picture in the paper the other day. I suppose you know he married one of New York's leading Debsg he always did go in for the best. And, pray tell me, what has happened to Keith Smith '? MARY: Oh, Keith has been recently promoted to head stockboy at Wool- worthi. He is also happily married to Rachel Ellis who is teaching history at Lawrence. LENORA: Well, I always said Keith would amount to something great. What is Melvin Snow doing now ? MARY : Melvin is running a home for aged men with Philip Levesque. I guess it's really for men that got jilted. It's on Main Street in Fairfield. LENORA: That is a surprise. I read in the paper that Mad-eline Tardiif was recently crowned Champion Potato Picker of the State of Maine. She always did know her Potatoes, didn't she? I suppose Louis Violette is happily married ? - 59 LAWRENCE DIARY MARY: Oh, no. He is a permanent resident at Snow and Levesque's home. I guess he got jilted, too LENORA: Gee, that's too bad! We all had such hopes for Louie! What is Charlie Clifford up to? He always was our bashful boy. MARY: He has changed considerably. He is now a roving hero. You see he is the only single man left in Shawmut. I guess he is making quite a hit with the old maids up there. LENORA: I bet Ken Vigue is married. MARY: Yes, he is happily married to Ruby Gurney and they have fifteen lovely children, they also have a Hill Billy Band. Ken always was an am- bitious fellow. LENORA: I know it. I never thought he was that ambitious though. Bev Gurney is working in Boston in a big department store. I suppose you have seen several of Guy I-Ianson's pictures. I think he is as good as Fred Astaire ever thought of being, and he still has those beautiful eyes ! MARY: Yes, Guy always was a good dancer. Eddie King is running an electric work shop in Fairfield. Gerry Leeman is a nurse: she works at the Sisters' Hospital. Don Libby is married. I always thought Don was such a quiet boy. I never thought he would get the courage to propose to a girl. Here's Worth Low. I suppose you know what he's doing now ? LENORA: No, you know I never did hear anything about Worth. MARY: Well, the last I knew he was 'in the dough' l LENORA: In the dough! Did he inherit someone's fortune or some- thing? MARY: Oh, no, nothing like that. I guess he married for money some rich girl from Cornvillef' LENORA: You know Worth always did go in for farmer's daughters. I remember when we were in school he had a crush on a red headed girl who lived on a Winslow farm. Is Richard McKechnie married ? MARY: No, he and Burton Strickland have taken over Mr. Hazenfs teaching position at the high school, th-ey're teaching agriculture. LENORA: And look at John Nimon. He was always up to something. But, I suppose you know, he has achieved great fame since he left school. John was recently awarded a patent for his famous Soda Water Chewing Gum. I guess it's making quite a hit in New York. Of course you can only get it in the best night clubs and hotels. I haven't quite dared to try it yet. MARY: My! That must be something. Gladys Rowe is married, too, isn't she ? LENORA: She and Beatrice Harding had a double wedding. MARY: And I suppose you are aware of the fact that we now have a new pastor at the Baptist Church, and it's none other than Thomas Newell ! LENORA: Tell me, did Marion Strickland and Priscilla Holmes ever get married? MARY: My, yes, Marion married into the Pooler family and Priscilla 60 LAWRENCE DIARY into the Shannon family. They also had a double wedding at the Church in the Center, they are both very happy. LENORA: Isn't that nice. What is Leland Shores doing now? He al- ways was the bashful boy in the class. MARY: Yes, he is still just as shy. He runs a big farm in Benton. LEINORA: I suppose you hear Louis-e Waldron every Sunday night playing over the radio. She is a great piano player, and she also teaches music at the New York Conservatory of Music. MARY: Yes, I do listen to her. I enjoy her program very much. LENORA: What is Loretta Beaulieu doing now? I suppose she is happily married to one of the Shawmut boys? MARY: Oh, no, Loretta is running an old maid's home not far from Snow and Levesque's home on Main Street in Fairfield. Loretta said she would never get married until she found the right man. I guess she has given up. LENORA: I suppose Gloria Begin is married. MARY: Oh, yes, she married into the Rancourt family. LENORA: I always thought she would. Isn't this a good picture of Fred Belanger? He certainly has come up in the world, hasn't he? Imagine being a professional football star! He is a great player. I read the other day where he is vacationing in Florida? MARY: Really? I never thought Lawrence could settle down to a quiet life like that. What is Blanche Boucher doing now ? MARY: She has a fine job. She is private secretary to one of Water- ville'S big lawyers. LENORA: I never heard from Madeline Chase either. What is she doing now? MARY: Oh, Madeline is a career woman. She writes advice to the love- lorn. , LENORA: And what about Bill Clark? MARY: He is happily married and lives in Fairfield. He also runs an exclusive dress shop in Shawmut. LENORA: I never thought Billy went in for the feminine things in life. His attitude toward women has changed quite a bit, hasn't it? MARY: It certainly has ! LENORA: Is Gerald Donahue around town now? MARY: Yes, he is married, too. LENORA: You know I can't get over the boys that have married! They seemed so bashful in school. What is Lawrence :Dumont doing now? MARY: Lawrence is now the manager of the First National Super Mar- ket in Waterville. LENORA: So Lawrence finally made the jump from clerk to manager. He did pretty well for himself. What is Jim Henry up to ? MARY: J im is still single. He runs a machine shop in Waterville. 61 LAWRENCE DIARY LENORA: I always thought Jim was a woman hater. What is June Holt doing? MARY: She is proprietor of the Starr movie house. LENORA: Is Yula Knights still in Fairfield ? MARY: Yes, Yula is running Greenlaws. Remember our old hangout? It is a lot different from what it used to be. She had it completely remod- eled. It's awfully attractive. I bet you wouldn't know it. LENORA: We did used to have some good tim-es in there, didn't we? I'll visit it when I go home again. What is Dot LaChance doing? MARY: Dot married a man from New York. I suppose you hear Lewis Mulhern over the radio. I think he has the most wonderful voice. LENORA: I'll say he has! Beverly Nelson married Duke didn't she? MARY: Yes, she did. They have the cutest little home. Carrie Nye is running a store in the Center, and I also hear she is going to take over the Cider Mill next fall. LENORA: They surely had delicious cider at that mill didn't they? MARY: I'll say. Beatrice Pennell is a nurse in a hospital in Portland. Faylene Richards is married to Paul. LENORA: Well, did Faylene finally settle down to one man? Sh-e always had so many of them that I couldn't keep up with her. I hear Arlyne With- am is happily married to a doctor. . MARY: Yes, and she owns a chain of beauty parlors throughout New England. LENORA! What is her brother Robert doing for work ? MARY: He is managing the creamery. The ice cream there is as good as ever. LENORA: What is Dorothy Chapman doing? MARY: She is coaching girls sports at Lawrence LENORA: Is Nellie Tyler still around ? MARY: Oh, yes, she is teaching school in Waterville. LENORA: I suppose everybody knows about Senator Brier. He has surely done great things for the state of Maine 1 MARY: Well, I guess that is about all. LENORA: It was certainly fun looking through the Year Book of 1943.9 MARY: I certainly enjoyed it! LENORA: We had one of the best classes that ever graduated from Law- rence. The pupils in our class have become fine men and women, they really are A-1. I sure wish I could live over again some of the days I had at Lawrence. Well, let's get dressed and walk about the streets of New York awhile.
