Mills, Karl Bohaker, Ellsworth Head, and John Barry were mem- bers. Robert SanSouci was sent to the All-New England High School Orchestra, which gave a concert at Symphony Hall in Boston. Thus ended the first part of our days at L. H. S. In September of 1929, we again entered Lawrence High, no longer in fear of our upperclassmen, and filling the shoes of “Jully Juniors’ and believe me, we were jolly. The class officers for this year were: Robert SanSouci — President. Virginia Leatherbee — Vice-Presi- dent. Betty Henry — Secretary-Treasur- er. Our class was represented in the Student Council by Christine Wright, Betty Wiswall, Ellsworth Head, and John Barry. This year the orchestra compet- ed at the Massachusetts School Music Festival at Waltham and won fourth prize, although it was the smallest orchestra in compe- tition. Its success was largely due to Mr. Albertin’s work and direc- tion. There were a large number of our class in the orchestra. This year three members of the class were sent to the All New-England High School orchestra. They were Christine Wright, Irene White, and Bob SanSouci. During the year, four members of the class were presented with the insignia of membership of the Sportsmanship Brotherhood. They were Christine Wright, Virginia Leatherbee, Bob SanSouci, and John Barry. In football, Harry Handy was captain and John Martin, Bob San- Souci, Nathan Issokson, and Frank Perry won letters. As in the sopho- more year, Harry Handy won the only basketball letter in the class Among those girls to win letters in basketball were Ellen Hamblin, Christine Wright, Margaret Papp, and Ethel Simmons. In baseball, Harry Handy, John Martin, Frank Perry, Bob SanSouci, Felice Fran- co, Milton Studley, and John Barry wen letters, and Nathan Issokson was again manager. The seniors were our guests at hte Hallowe’en party this year. It was held, at the Falmouth Country Club and proved a huge success. Al- though. the games and dancing were pleasing, the chamber of horrors was outstanding. The Senior Prom was as well attended by the jun- iors as was the Hallowe’en party by the seniors. Thus ended our junior year. Al- though it was not a startling peri- od to the world at large, it was a happy one for us. Our senior days came much soon- er than we expected. How proud we were of those coveted back seats and of the prestige which we had. Our class officers for this year were: President — Bob SanSouci. Vice-President — Virginia Leath- erbee. Secretary-Treasurer — Betty Hen- ry. The same representatives of the Student Council were reelected this year. Bob SanSouci was president of the Council, and Elizabeth Wis- wall was recorder. In the Christ- mas Pageant, Howard Pease and Dean Wells were Wise Men. We were very sorry not to have Miss Poole and Miss Haeussler with u s during our last year, but we welcomed Miss Kramer and Mr. Craig.

while the head of that great uni- versity, President A. Lawrence Low- ell, fehooses Cotuit for his summer home. Two well-known figures in the Religion ' s realm connected with the are the late Father Bodfish and Bishop Anderson. It is a strange yet interesting fact to note that so far the Cape has not pro- duced any outstanding ministers. As far as actual mileage is con- cerned, that long neck of land curving out into the Atlantic, called Cape Cod, is comparatively small; but when we begin to look about us, it is amazing to find so many notable and highly distinguished men and women who have received their inspiration from our Cape and have gone forth to conquer the world. In this brief time, we have been able only to survey the field — to name only a few of the Cape Cod celebrities outstanding in their achievements of making this a bet- ter world in which to live. And it is as brothers and sisters of the same soil that we bring them tri- bute today. Christine Wright. THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1931 The sun beat down its scorching rays on the unprotected sidewalks as 1 strolled through the public park during my noon hour. Being rather tired, I selected a bench near the walk. As I sat down, I noticed a small book lying on the seat next to me. Picking it up, I read the title on the cover, High- lights of Our L. H. S. Days. Why, this was a record of the activities of my own class at high school ! What luck! Turning to the title page I read, Highlights of Our L. H. S. Days, The History of the Class of 1931. I At the bottom of the page in small | letters were these words: The Law- rence High School Press, Estab- lished 1929. On the next page was a picture of our class advisor, Miss Gardner, whose wealth of patience and sound advice we shall never forget. The history began on the opposite page. In September of 1928, a new ' sophomore class entered Lawrence High School. We managed to hold our own without being too much of a nuisance to the teachers and upperclassmen. When Mr. Davis announced that a meeting of the sophomore class would be held to elect officers, we felt very import- ant. At this point the following officers were elected for the year: President — Virginia Leatherbee. Vice-President — Ellsworth Head. Secretary — Christine Wright Treasurer — Harry Handy. The representatives of our class in the Student Council were Chris- tine Wright, Pauline Sylvia, Ells- worth Head, and John Barry. The next thing to which we turned our attention was athletics. Harry Handy, John Martin, Nathan Issokson, and Robert SanSouci won letters in football. Harry Handy was the only sophomore boy to win a letter in basketball this year. In girls’ basketball, Ellen Hamblin and Christine Wright won letters. In baseball, Harry Handy, John Mar- tin, and Bob SanSouci won letters and Nathan Issokson was manag- er. Our class was well represented in the orchestra this year. Robert SanSouci, Irene White, Christine Wright, Margaret Papp, Delscena

For the second time in our high school career, members of our class were elected to the Sportsmanship Brotherhood. They were Eleanor James, Margaret Papp, Elizabeth Wiswall, Ellen Barstow, Ellsworth Head, Milton Studley, Howard Pease ,and Felice Franco. This year our class earned more athletic let- ters than any of the other classes. Bob SanSouci was captain of the football team, and John Martin, Harry Handy, Nathan Issokson, Milton Studley, Joseph Goudreau, Karl Bohaker, Ellsworth Head, Frank Perry, John Barry, and Jos- eph Sheehan won letters. Gilbert Costa was assistant manager. Fol- lowing the Thanksgiving Day vic- tory over Barnstable, a banquet was given by the Rotary Club and a dance by the cheering squad to the members of the team. As in football, the basketball team was composed almost entirely of sen- iors. Harry Handy, John Martin, Milton Studley, Frank Perry, Joe Sheehan, and Bert Haddon played on the team, and Karl Bohaker was manager. In girls’ basketball, Christine Wright was captain and Virginia Leatherbee, Eleanor James, Margaret Papp, Ellen Hamblin, and Ellen Barstow won letters. During the year, the Lawrencian, our school paper, was once again started, after having been aban- doned for over a year. The staff was composed entirely of seniors. Virginia Leatherbee was Editor-in- chief, Betty Wiswall, Literary Edi- tor, Dean Wells, Business Manag- er, Howard Pease, School Notes Editor, Ellen Hamblin, Girls’ Sports Editor, and John Barry, Boys’ Sports Editor. Among the pleasing activities of the school year were the luncheon clubs formed by both boys and girls. Each group had one ban- quet during the year. Betty Wis- wall was toastmistress for the girls, and Karl Bohaker was toastmaster for the boys. This year we were guests at the Hallowe’en Party given by the jun- iors at the Country Club. It was certainly evident that those jun- iors could furnish delicious refresh- ments. Clubs got into full swing this year. Jennie Baker was secretary of the Art Club, Howard Pease president of the Dramatics and De- bating Clubs, and Felice Franco president of the Floricultural Club. About half a dozen members of the class played in the orchestra this year, which was part of the All-Cape Symphony. Four con- certs were given, one being in Fal- mouth. Three members of the school were sent to take part in the Northeastern High School Or- chestra at Syracuse. This group was composed of the outstanding players of all of the high school orchestras in Northeastern United States. Two of these pupils were seniors, Irene White and Robert SanSouci. Bob was honored by being elected concertmeister of the en- tire group of hearly two hundred and fifty members; while Irene was given the first chair in the French horn section. The same three members of our class were sent to the All-New England High School Orchestra again this year. Early in April seven senior boys were presented with keys of the National Athletic Scholarship Soci- ety. Membership to the society is limited to those boys who have earned a letter in one major sport and have an average in their studies
