MARY ANN WHITE Honor Pupils Lawrence High School THE RISE OF AMERICAN LITERATURE Salutatory: Members of the school commit- tee, our superintendent, our princi- pal, members of the faculty, par- ents, friends, and schoolmates: In behalf of the Lawrence High School Class 1933, I want to take this time to welcome you most sin- cerely and heartily to our gradu- ation exercises. We wish to thank you for your never-failing interest in our welfare and hope that you will enjoy our program tonight. American literature had a strange beginning. Nearly every other nation began its literary work before it had a language in defin- ite form. In America, however, the first author’s language was the language of one of the world’s great literary nations. He knew that within a few months after he finished his book it would be copied and distributed by the print- ing press. The author of the first book was John Smith, who came to James- town, Virginia, in 1607. His work belongs to history rather than to literature, and to England, perhaps, rather than to America. Nearly all of the early writers wrote histori- cal essays, which can not be omit- ted from American literature. Some of the writers were given to boast- ing and exaggeration, but their ac- counts of early life in America are considered trustworthy on the whole. Many modern critics think that the Puritans exerted an unhappy influence upon American literature. This criticism is, however, slowly losing its force as people begin to see that Puritanism did not have an enduring effect. It began to lose its power at the close of the seventeenth century and was com- pletely wiped out in the early part of the eighteenth by the coming of machinery and the rise of the manufacturing class. As the Puritanic spirit died out, Benjamin Franklin came into prom- inence. He was the first American to gain recognition abroad. His work, “The Way to Health, or Pre- face to Poor Richard Improved,” is known as “the most famous piece cf literature the colonies produced.” In the early part of the nine- teenth century, Washington Irving published his “Knickerbocker’s His- tory of New York.” This was the beginning of the period when Am- erican literature reached its high- est peak. Such writers as Cooper, Bryant, Poe, and Hawthorne are included in it. Poe and Hawthorne are ranked highest among Ameri- can writers because of their indi- viduality. Both are best known for their short stories. The slavery question was an im- portant factor in this period, and great statesmen and orators came into prominence. The period fol- lowing the Civil War found no writers to rank with Poe or Haw- thorne. Perhaps the greatest writer fol- lowing the Civil War was Longfel- low. Although probably not the greatest American poet, he is the best known and the best loved in this country. He was a great story teller, and everybody enjoys good stories. Three other well known poets of this period are James Russell Low- ell, John Greenleaf Whittier, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. These writers are popular and well liked, but they are ranked as inferior to Poe and Hawthorne and some other - The Lawrencian writers of the period just before and during the Civil War. The belief that the American lit- erature of today is inferior to that before 1892 doesn’t mean that in the future it will stay on the down grade. The great output of books and magazines Uxlay Is found to create a strong native literature which will hold its own with that of any other period. The tremend- ous number of stories pouring into magazine offices also shows that the people have the “itch to write” and a genuine interest in self-ex- pression. Only recently our novelist Sin- clair Lewis won the Nobel Prize in literature. This prize is the most famous in the world, and the fact that Sinclair Lewis won it is a great honor for America. Bernard Shaw says that “an asylum for the sane would be empty in America”, but even he, who is the most con- spicuous man of letters in the world today, did not begin to attract the world-wide attention gained by Sinclair Lewis, when he (Shaw) won the same prize in 1925. Although we have little literature to rank with the best of England or some other European countries, this may be attributed to the youth of this country. In the years to come we shall no doubt have many writers who will be ranked among the best of any period or of any country. This will, however, take time and at present we can only hope for the best. THEODORE JONAS. KATHARINE LEE BATES “O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain. For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brother- hood From sea to shining sea! O beautiful for pilgrim feet. Whose stern, impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness; America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law! O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved, And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine. Till all success be nobleness. And every gain divine! O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brother- hood From sea to shining sea!” This poem, which has become one of our greatest, if not the greatest, national anthem, was written by cur own Katharine Lee Bates who was born in Falmouth. About two years ago, I had the ' pleasure of being able to visit Wel- lesley College. After looking the college grounds and buildings over from the outside, I went into the interior of the administration build- ing. Just off the main lobby, there is an alcove in which this poem is most beautifully illustrated in col- ors. On one side of the alcove, there is a painting which portrays the first verse by showing the “spa- cious skies”, the “purple mountain majesties”, and the “fruited plain”. The first verse is on the right hand Lawrence High School side of the picture, and the second verse is on the left hand side. On the other side of the alcove, the painting illustrates the “alabaster cities gleam” and the third and fourth verses are on the right and left sides of the picture, respective- ly. I was very much impressed by these illustrations, because they seemed to give me a better under- standing and a keener appreciation of the poem. Even now, I can’t help recalling these pictures when I think of the verses. Katharine Lee Bates, the daugh- ter of Rev. William Bates and Cornelia Frances Lee Bates, was born August 15, 1859, in Falmouth in the house now occupied by Dr. Wagner. Her father, who was the pastor of the Congregational church, died about a month after the birth of his little daughter. She attend- ed the village school here and later moved witjh her family to Wellesley Hills. As a child, she was especially fond of reading and cared nothing about sewing and dressing the dolls which her mother gave her. She much preferred to make up stories about how they lived on a deserted island and made clothes for themselves from grass and leaves. Upon graduating from Wellesley High School, she attended the more advanced high school of Newton, from which she graduated two years later. She then entered Wellesley College and received the Bachelor cf Arts degree in 1880. She wrote her first poem, “Sleep”, in her sophomore year at college, and it was published in “The At- lantic Monthly” with very few changes made. At college, she was called Kitty Lee” and became an inspiring leader for her classmates, by whom she was chosen president. She did not confine herself to all work and serious study but took part in the college activities. Her first juvenile story, “Rose and Thorn”, which she wrote when she was quarantined on account of ex- posure to small pox in a Boston attic, won for her a prize of seven hundred dollars. She used this money for her first trip to Europe. She taught Latin, English, and algebra in the Natick High School for one year, and geometry, Greek, and Latin in Dana Hall for four years. She then became instructor of English literature in Wellesley College, later associate professor, and finally professor, after she had studied at Oxford, England, and re- ceived her Master of Arts degree from Wellesley College. Oberlin and Middlebury College each con- ferred upon her the honorary de- gree of Doctor of Letters. Although heavily laden with the work of he r English department, she always found time to answer her numerous correspondents, who sent her poetry for her to judge. She faithfully and conscientiously spent hours trying to find what was good in their verses and tried to encourage amateur poets as much as possible. She has even left a poetry fund at Wellesley College. However, with all her work, she found time to write some most ex- cellent and charming pieces of poetry and prose. “Spanish High- ways and Byways” and “Sigurd, Our Golden Collie” are two fine examples of her prose work. The former gives a brilliant record of her travel in Spain; the latter shows her delight in animals and birds. “America the Dream” is an excel- lent verse book. Her writings are travel, history, plays, poems, and young people ' s stories and plays. SES rneamimm The Lawrencian She was also editor of a number of English classics, such as Coleridge’s “Ancient Mariner”, Shakespeare’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream”, and Ruskin’s “King of the Golden River”, and contributed to “The Atlantic Monthly”, “The Christian Century , “Harper’s”, “Scribner’s”, and many other peri- odicals. She belonged to a number of literary clubs, and, since she was a most eminent speaker, she was often called upon to deliver public addresses. She travelled and spent much time in literary research work in France, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Egypt, Palestine, Norway, and Den- mark. While living in Wellesley, she resided in a small English style house. This house had a most pic- turesque setting, being surrounded with trees and shrubs. Her long life of useful service, of which forty years were devoted to Wellesley College, closed on March 28, 1929. Her ashes now rest in Oak Grove Cemetery in Fal- mouth and on her tombstone is en- graved the epitaph: “I will sing a new song unto the Lord.” Truly, Miss Bates exemplified Christianity and brotherhood in her daily life. GLADYS ROBBINS. PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS Now, on our graduation evening, is a very good time for reviewing some of ithe high lights of our high school careers. We’ve had our ups and downs but mostly ups. Cer- tainly we’ve enjoyed many good times together. To begin with, let us review our most worthy class officers for these three happy years. In the fall of 1930, when we were sophomores, we had Ted Jonas for president, Jeanne Spooner for vice-president, and Sophie Clark for secretary and treasurer. The next year Alec Papp became president, Bob McKenzie vice president, Dick DeMaptin treasurer, and Sophie Clark secre- tary. In our senior year Alec was again made president (and I might add that he’s been a faithful one), Bob McKenzie vice president, Gif- ford Griffin treasurer, and Sophie Clark secretary. Those who were elected to the Student Council at one time or another are: girls, Con- stance Abbott, Caroline Barrows, Emma Erskine, Anna May Fuller, and Isabel Jenkins; boys, Ainslee Cameron, Gifford Griffin, Obie In- gram, Ted Jonas, Bob McKenzie, Alec Papp, and Louis Santos. Our class has certainly had plen- ty of dazzling gridiron heroes to shed their radiance around. These husky brutes have won letters: Jimmy Boyatt, Ainslee Cameron, Eddie Gifford, Gifford Griffin, Obie Ingram, Bob McKenzie, Louis San- tcs, George Swain, Tony Perry, Captain of the 1932 team, and Manager Ernest Cardoze of the same team. Last autumn the juniors gave us a party at the Coonamessett Inn. Our class was well represented and the party was one of the most suc- cessful in years. What would the Christmas plays under Mr. Albertin’s direction have been without Sophie Clark, the class songbird? Sophie has had a solo part in these plays for years past. In the last performance of “The Nativity”, Gifford Griffin, Alec Papp, and Constance Abbott also had singing parts. In basketball the senior girls have taken a prominent part. Although most of the players from our class have been quite small, they have been mighty fast. Letters were won - — -■ - - - ' - - am Lawrence High School by: Captain Emma Erskine, Sophie Clark, Anna May Fuller, Manager Isabel Jenkins, Jeanne Spooner, and Constance Abbott. There were not so many boys to win the “L” in basketball. Our school athlete, Obie Ingram, won a letter twice, and Jimmy Boyatt and Assistant Manager Lloyd Night- ingale each earned one also. Last winter black eyes seemed to be quite the fad. Bob McKenzie started it. There was a vague rumor that he received it in foot- ball, but the true explanation was never discovered. Soon after this, Gifford Griffin came to school with the handsomest shiner I’ve ever seen, but he would offer no ex- planation. Even mild, gentle Isabel Jenkins’s eye was conspicuously dark for a day. Now we have one outstanding musician in this class, a flute play- er. I know you’ll be surprised to hear his name is Bob McKenzie. In his sophomore year Bob was the first flute player in the all New England High School Orchestra. We’re awfully proud of him. We were represented in the Cape Cod High School Orchestra for two years by Obie Ingram, Bob McKen- zie, and Constance Abbott. Obie Ingram and Bob McKenzie were the first of our number to re- present us in the Sportsmanship Brotherhood. In that same year, when they were juniors, Emma Erskine, Ted Jonas, Gifford Griffin, and Alec Papp were also taken in. This year Ainslee Cameron, Anna May Fuller, Isabel Jenkins, Tony Perry, Jeanne Spooner, and Con- stance Abbott were elected. As examples of the brains of our group, Ted Jonas, Gifford Griffin, and Alec Papp actually received 100% in a month’s work in Alge- bra. In her junior year Anna May got 100% for a month’s work in English, but that was in one of her weaker moments. In the commer- cial department we have some truly brilliant examples. Sophie Clark has excelled in typewriting. She has written 67 words a minute with no errors for 15 minutes, and 75 words a minute with two errors. Dot McLane has typed 60 words a minute with only two errors for fif- teen minutes. In bookkeeping Ted Jonas and Helen Studley have made themselves conspicuous by their good work. Let us cast an eye on what has been happening in L. H. S. dram- atics. First, there was that thriller of thrillers, “The Yellow Shadow”, featuring Gifford Griffin, Isabel Jenkins, and Bob McKenzie. In our junior year, Gifford and Bob, Alec Papp and Constance Abbott lent their talents to “She Stoops to Conquer.” Our big year for dram- atics has been this one, however. In the cast of “I’ll Explain Every- thing” were Gifijord Griffin and Bob McKenzie, Tommy Larkin, Woody Dackson, Sophie Clark, and Constance Abbott. Eddie Brown, Eddie Gifford, Tony Perry, and Louis Santos have done some outstanding work in the agri- cultural department. Their pro- ducts have won prizes at Fairs all over the state. In the spring of last year the A division of our model class issued a weekly paper with the inspiring title, “The Weekly Paine.” This was edited for two weeks. The paper was printed by the school press and was a source of much amusement. On March 13, 1933, ten lucky lads and lassies set out for Providence to sing in the Eastern Music Chor- us. This is the first year the Law- The Lawrencian rence High School has sent singers to this tremendous chorus. Six went from our class. They were Helen Hall, Martha Grinnell, Lin- coln Mills, Gifford Griffin, Mary White, and Constance Abbott. One of the highest honors a boy can be accorded, Is to be made a member of the National Athletic Scholarship Society. In their jun- ior year, Obie Ingram, Gifford Grif- fin, and Bob McKenzie were made members. This spring Ted Jonas and Alec Papp were also made members. To get this honor a boy must have earned a letter in one major sport and his scholastic standing must be higher than the school average. Our class doesn’t have many art- ists but in our case it’s quality that counts. What better proof of this than Lloyd Nightingale? Lloyd has done many brilliant pieces of work in the art department but perhaps his best is his conception of “Tar- zan.” Brains are the qualifications for honor pins. For three years these pins have been given to Anna May Fuller, Ted Jonas, Gladys Robbins, and Alec Papp. In their sophomore year Mary Hunt and John Wayman each received one also. Speaking of brains, some wise fellow out of the dark past once said that a good baseball squad had to have brains to turn out a win- ning team. Possibly that accounts for some of our good teams. Listen to our list of lads who have won letters in this sport: Obie Ingram, Captain of this year’s team, Gif- ford Griffin, Ted Jonas, Alec Papp, Tony Perry, Louis Santos, and Woody Dackson, manager. The following people represented our class in the sunny sport of tennis: girls, Sophie Clark, and Anna May Fuller; boys, Gifford Griffin and Obie Ingram. On May 4 the whole school voted on the names of the two seniors to be placed on the bronze tablet in the front of the Main Room. This is the highest honor anyone can get during his high school days and is accorded to those who have best exemplified Loyalty, Honor and Service. The two deemed worthy were Anna May Fuller and Theo- dore Jonas, the class valedictorian and salutatorian. Now we are at one of the most important events of the last three years. It marks the close of one period of our lives and opens a new period which we hope will be even happier than the last. CONSTANCE ABBOTT. STATISTICS You have heard the history of the versatile class, but the half hath not been told. Now It falls to me to tell you some of the curious but interesting facts about us; “believe it or not.” Neither Connie, our his- torian, nor I wish to join any “tall story club”; consequently we stick to the truth. These facts, with a few exceptions of definite statistics, were voted in the class. Now to start off, we have our Valedictorian, Anna May Fuller; and our Salutatorian, Theodore Jonas, as our cleverest. I shouldn’t be a bit surprised if Ted got a job making up crossword puzzles or maybe running an information bu- reau. As for Anna May, well, she usually has quite a line that puzzles the class, and sometimes her re- marks are so clever that the teach- ers are so puzzled that they ask her to resort to another room for a while. Ted, I understand also that you ‘ r t-fi Lawrence High School and Gladys Robbins are the most industrious. Well, you two look it. Why there are so many lines in your face that I can’t count them. And Gladys, you and Edwin Brown are the quietest. I think you won’t have any trouble getting jobs in a library. I suppose, Gladys, that when you’re married your husband will find you very quiet, probably pleasing him very much. Of course, with Edwin the situation will be vice versa. Now, who do you think the best looking are? Well, Sophie Clark is one and Ralph Ingram is the other. I am inclined to think Ralph’s blonde and curly hair had some in- fluence on his vote for being good looking. Sophie might be the future “Moxie” or “Camel” girl because of her good looks. You know Sophie and George Swain are the best dressed. Sophie ought to be popular with the boys then, with her good looks and being the best dressed. Where is James Boyatt? Oh, there you are. Come here, Jimmie. Can you imagine It? Sophie and Jimmie were picked as the most sophisti- cated. Now you can see why Sophie isn’t so terribly popular. You know boys don ' t like to be shown up by the weaker sex. I didn’t know Jim- mie was so wordly wise, but I guess other people think differently. All right, you may go, Sophie, and I don’t expect to see you again on this graduation program. Will George Swain and Isabel Miller please come forth? Ladies and gentlemen, you now look upon the silliest pupils of our class and to double, check that silliest busi- ness, they are the worst drivers In our class. That doesn’t mean cattle drivers either. It means automobile drivers, so, when you see, if you get a chance, George and Isabel driv- ing down the road, take advice from me and get as far off it as you can. Now I have some good news for you. Walter Noyes, Arlene Manley, and Isabel Jenkins are the best , drivers. Now, when you see these people driving along t he road, you know you’re safe. The only ' way I can figure out Isabel and Arlene as being the best drivers is that one drives from the back seat while the other drives from the front, so they are rated equally, and probably Walter has a governor on his car. Now we come to the most inter- esting fact in our statistics. It is about the ones who sometimes have a hard time in life, especially if they marry somebody with the same capacity, that is being very talk- ative. Well, the most talkative ones in our class are Woodrow Dackson and Constance Abbott. Woody al- ways has a good line of sales talk so I wouldn’t be surprised if he might get a job with Fuller, you know, the brushman, or maybe as a ticket seller to one of the side shows in a circus. As for Connie, she isn’t only very, very talkative but she talks so fast that you can ' t catch more than a word here and there. You might not know it but Woody is standing right beside me. The fact that he is out on the high seas bound for Philadelphia, Nor- way, Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Germany doesn’t prevent his being with us tonight in spirit. Hold on there, Woody, don’t be in a hurry. You and Jeanne Spooner are supposed to be the best dancers. Really, Woody, I don’t see how you can be so talkative and yet be such a good dancer. Probably Jeanjne will some day run her own dancing school. Jeanne I want you to stay here a little longer, while I get Bob Mc- Kenzie to step up here. These two were picked as the most popular. The attraction in Bob must be the Harvard haircut that he usually has. It looks as though Jeanne won’t have much trouble with her danc- ing school. Bob, you wait here. Will the other half of our most musical talent step up here, Connie Abbott. Connie can’t play the piano as fast as she can talk, so thank somebody for that, but as for her alto singing she sounds like — well, I can’t think of an appropriate simile. Bob plays the flute pretty well. He’s some fluter. And how! You know Connie and Thomas Larkin are the youngest in our class. Some babies, eh what? Just imagine these two graduating so young. I think Connie worked her way through by talking so much and Tommy, well you can tell his age by his baby remarks in English class; yet he has quite a lot to say about nothing. If you gave him any subject, he could write a book on it. But, oh, would I hate to try to read his papers on it when he fin- ished because he and Helen Hall are our worst writers? They usu- ally have to copy their work over two or three times before . any teacher will accept it and even then the teacher hesitates. It looks like a bunch of Chinese writing. Prob- ably the way Tommy learned his prophecy so well for tonight was because he had to copy it over four or five times. And Tommy, you and Evelyn Czepiel are the cutest ones. Prob- ably it’s Tommy’s age that puts him in the cute class, for I don’t see anything attractive such as daintiness or picturesqueness in his manners or appearance. In fact, he is a bit clumsy and as for Evelyn, well, I guess the definition of cute was taken from her. Evelyn, you and Ralph are the best writers. I’ll bet the teachers give a sigh of relief when they read your names on any papers which they are about to correct. Now, Ralph, if your face doesn’t get too red I will show off our best athletes, Ralph Ingram and Emma Erskine. I think the reason Emma is so good is because she is so small that she is hard to keep track of. Ralph’s ambition is to get a posi- tion in the big leagues. He hasn’t told me just what position. Water boy or bat boy, maybe. Ainslee Cameron and Jeanne Spooner are the best natured. I congratulate Ainslie. I guess you would if you knew what pests sat around him in school, and as for Jennie, well, she would have to be good natured to run a danc- ing school successfully. The oldest in our class are Louis Santos and Isabel Miller. They probably wanted to get their mon- ey’s worth from the town. Edward Gifford and Marie Perry are the laziest. No teacher would be surprised if he ever heard a little snoring and looked up and found one of these two asleep. The tallest and thinnest are Lloyd Nightingale and Dorothy McLane. I thought I was tall but when I stand between these two I feel like a derby between two stove pipe hats. They have an advantage any way. When they are standing in a crowd t u t 5 ■ £ . ir i ■ h i - •vsrrv mm mmm K r Lawrence High School j i t they don’t need to worry about missing anything. You two wait a minute. Now you will be able to get a glimpse at the contrast between the shortest, Eldon Allen and Arlene Manley, and the tallest. I don’t see how these little shrimps got through high school unless they slipped through. And now for the biggest and heaviest things on this graduation program. You may wonder why these two didn’t come down before. Will Martha Grinnell and Lincoln Mills please come here? You noticed I said “please”; that’s be- cause they are bigger than I am. For heaven’s sake don’t get too close together because we want to finish up these graduation exer- cises. Did you feel the floor shake out there? Well, I felt this plat- form shake as though we were hav- ing an earthquake. You may go now, I don’t feel safe with you two so close. Now do you see why I kept them until last? They may be the last, but they are certainly not the least. I thank you. GIFFORD GRIFFIN. CLASS PROPHECY In the summer of 1933 a gradu- ate of Lawrence High was playing leapfrog by himself in the fields and meadows of Woods Hole. He became thirsty from the exertion and to quench his thirst he stooped to drink out of a nearby pool. And lo and behold, a sardine cruising about in search of a few whales for supper swallowed him as an appe- tizer. I may as well admit it — I was the leapfrog. Years went on and the ' sardine’s gills turned to pints and he devel- oped rheumatism in his hindermost flipper. Finally the sardine was caught, canned, and labeled, “Di- rect from the Scandinavian Penin- sula.” In case you want to know, I was busy counting whale’s teeth. I was on the 9,999,999,999th tooth when somebody sank his teeth into me. I let go with both feet and shot out from between those teeth like a Welsh Rarebit. I landed in a washboiler full of fried, boiled, broiled, baked, and raw sardines. Then whom should I see with open mouths and staring eyes but the great sardine lovers Robert McKen- zie and Gifford Griffin. They had been eating sardines for the last fifteen years and were beginning to look like them. All as a result of a bet made with Ainslie Cameron, the Canadian sardine-catching king. Ainslie’s slogan, “Bigger and Bet- ter Sardines for Bigger and Better People,” was amply illustrated by “Bob” and “Giff”, who now weighed a ton apiece. A slithering mass of sardines run- ning down my neck brought me out of the washboiler with a jerk, and there stood Mary Hunt, the sardine eaters doctor. Mary divid- ed up her time in figuring different ways to cook sardines and in col- lecting money for the starving oys- ters of Finland. Right next door was an insane asylum and as I had an idea that several of my former classmates were present I walked in. Loud cheering reached my ears at the threshold, and tracking it down I came upon a strange scene. The i n ma t e s were enthusiastically watching a thrilling fight between two heavyweight fleas upon a sparkling dome, and under that dome was “Alec” Papp. “Alec” had been a human target in a circus and had shaved his head. One day a ball had hit him on the head and mimm The Lawrenci had sent him to the asylum and his hair had never grown back. The ball-slinger with the unerring aim had been Ralph Ingram, now the pride of the East Coast Slingers’ League. The East Coast was in Africa, and the Slingers slung hash in the wilds of Abyssinia. But to return to the fight. I glanced at the cheering seconds of the battling fleas and recognized Lloyd Nightingale and George Swain. Lloyd had had a nightmare one night and had thought that he was “Tarzan of the Apes”. He hopped out of bed and donned a loin cloth. He had seen a cat sit- ting on a limb outside of his win- dow and, thinking that it was Sheeta the Panther, he had made a flying tackle through the win- dow and grappled with the unsus- pecting pussy. Lloyd ' s head was so soft that the cat had sunk his claws right into him. They were discovered in the morning with the cat struggling to pull his claws out of Lloyd’s head. Lloyd was put away. The second second, George Swain, had arrived where he ought to have been years ago, about a week before I had. He had arrived when his trusty Ford hit the asyl- um’s front door and he had scaled right over the wall and landed on a statue erected in honor of Anna May Fuller. Anna May had been caught unscrewing her name from the tablet in the L. H. S. and when caught had solemnly declared that, ‘‘One ounce equals ten pennies”. She had been tucked safely away with the rest of the “nuts”. One night she dreamt that her collec- tion of 1300 pennies was running down t he hill outside her window. Up she jumped and placed a 10,- 000-gallon water bucket under the falling pennies, which turned out to be a landslide, and Anna had saved the lunatic’s paradise. In the yard I met Jimmy Boyatt. James was disconsolately cutting dogs and cats out of wrapping paper. His sad predicament was due to this fact. He had heen sales- man for a magazine edited by Wal- ter Noyes especially for lunatics. This magazine contained only blank pages. Jimmy was up in the twenty-fifth story of the asylum when one of the inmates thought he saw a slam against him in the magazine. He threw him out of the window and the shock knocked out Jimmy’s wisdom teeth, and as that was all the wisdom he had he stayed put. Jimmy was cutting out the dogs and cats for the annual style show at the home for blind alley cats and dirty dogs that were deaf and dumb. This school was rim by Constance Abbott and Isa- bel Jenkins. It was the only place where they could talk all they wanted to without being thrown out. When Connie and Isabel got going it sounded like a phonograph in high speed with both sides of the record playing at once. I decided to get out before I was compelled to stay. I found my way to the superintendent’s office and walked in. There I found Ern- est Car doze, the Head of the In- stitution, in close conference with Dorothy Bailey. Dorothy didn’t seem to have any official duties but I guess she had her hands full. After considerable argument I per- suaded Ernest that I could be safe- ly set free. I stepped out quickly before he could change his mind. Once out I gave three hearty cheers and was picked up by Ed- ward Gifford and Edwin Brown. These boys were threatening to ob- tain a monopoly of the weed mar- i- sfe mf s ?y f: Lawrence High School ket. By eliminating all other crops they were raising huge crops of weeds. I forgot to ask what the big idea was. It must have been a world-beating one. I was dropped off at the city of Woods Hole. Falmouth was Just a suburb now. I decided to take in a show. Stepping up to the ticket window I recognized Helen Studley as the cashier. Helen had made quite a name for herself as the girl who made change so fast that you never saw your money again. Right in back of her shoulder and keeping an eagle eye on the change was George Marks, the proprietor of the theatre. He was rubbing his hands together and I could hear him murmuring to himself, “Business is Business.” I was ushered to my seat by Eldon Allen. Eldon had achieved nation- wide publicity as the boy who led his troop of trusty boy scouts to the rescue of Arlene Manley. Ar- lene’s occupation had been selling water-tight bathing suits to frogs. She had been in the midst of an inspiring sales talk when she had fallen in. She remained with her head stuck in the mud for three hours until Eldon’s trusty troop ar- rived on the scene. But to return to the theatre. As I walked down the aisle I noticed a queer sign. It read “Fruity Fruits”. Eldon told me that the store was run by Lincoln Mills and Violet Avant. Lincoln and Violet played Romeo and Juliet and ran the store from the applause. The curtain rose and the show was on. The program started off with a head splitting piano solo. The contortionist at the keys was Helen Hall. She hadn’t been able to get enough rhythm using only her hands so she had a special piano built that used her hands, feet, nose, and both ears. Next the “Kate Smith” of Cape Cod gave a heart-and-ear-rending rendition of “Wlhen the Moon Comes Over the Mountain” that made your hair stand on end. It was Martha Grinnell. She was singing blues for a bluing company that made you feel blue and made you black and blue trying to get out of the theatre. Then Georgianna Potter came on the stage. She had taken up in- venting as a livelihood. Her pet invention was the one where you put a mosquito on one block and hit it with another block to kill it. It was an old idea but evidently Georgianna thought it was pretty good. She was still plugging away trying to find a way to take a bath without getting wet. The main picture of the show was the memoirs of Gladys Robbins. Gladys had been a night club per- former in New York but they weren’t peppy enough for Gladys. So she went to Paris and opened her own night club. The third night it was raided. Upon her ar- rest Gladys had said, “And I thought the French were sophis- ticated.” Pictures had changed quite a bit since I had seen them and I got quite a kick out of the memoirs. The star was Evelyn Czepiel and she was so good that she was the only one in the picture. When- ever another character was needed she dyed her hair a different color and repainted her face. After the show President Theo- dore O. Jonas, of Flunkus College, came on the stage and gave us a lecture on the disadvantages of at- tending Flunkus College. He told us if any of the students go over ' The Lawrenclan 90% he fires the teachers and hires ditch diggers. Teddy showed us a graph which showed the way the marks dropped. It looked like the curve a ball makes when It is thrown off of Washington Monu- ment. No sooner had I stepped out of the bank than I was almost hit by a crashing Uniplane. I hauled Mary White out of the wreckage. She said that the Uniplane had been built by Isabel Miller who by combining Newton’s law of gravity with Ohm’s and cutting the resist- ance down to zero had created the perfect Uniplane. The plane had been taken for a test flight with Mary White as the pilot. The plane crashed because Isabel had forgot- ten that falling bodies fall. I digested this fact and was hit over the head by Antone Perry and Louis Santos with his able help- mate Caroline Barrows. They claimed that I was a material wit- ness and shouldn’t be allowed to escape. I didn’t. I waked up in the Woods Hole Municipal Hospi- tal. Lloyd Bohaker was the head surgeon and Jeanne Spooner was the assisting nurse. Lloyd insisted upon operating for a diseased brain, but I persuaded him that if I were put into the hands of Jeanne I would get better much more quickly. I was put into Jeanne’s hands and she worked wonders. I asked her what Antone, Louis, and Caroline were. She told me that Antone and Louis were the city’s crime com- missioners and Caroline was their assistant who did all the dirty work. The three of them had prac- tically cleaned up the city and there had been so thefts reported since a set of hen’s teeth had been stolen from Marie Perry. Macy’s had wanted Marie to go to New York but Marie wouldn’t go, so Macy’s moved down here to have Marie as a mannequin. Marie had hired Woodrow Dackson as a de- tective to recover her cherished teeth. Dackson’s first move was to get the city to build new jails and then he put everyone in jail. He was merely maintaining his reputa- tion of never falling down on a job. However, he never got far enough to fall off. Once released from the hospital I made my way along a broad boulevard. Then all the universe seemed to rock as a horrible wad- ing smote my ears. It sounded like a cat being drawn through a clothes wringer tail first. I hurried down to the corner of the avenue leading to Lake Eel. I turned the corner and there I saw a most amazing sight. The first thing I noticed was Dorothy McLane tow- ering head and shoulders above a milling crowd around her. She had a tablet laid on the top of the head. Someone in front of her was taking notes. I ploughed through the crowd and there I saw Helen Hall sitting in a car of the vintage of 1892. She was running the en- ' gine full speed and playing an or- gan composed of exhaust pipes that produced music that made you want to tear your hair and commit murder. But the worst was yet to come. The horrible wailing that had first greeted my ears broke out again, and then on top of a plat- form in the back seat of the reli- que, singing an Eskimo Dirge to the fishes, was Sophie Clark. Then a huge iron hoop came around the comer with Emma Ers- kine flying along in full pursuit. Emma was in training for the municipal hoop-rolling contest. Well, the hoop was going about a msssm Lawrence High School hundred miles an hour and it hit the car right in the middle. Helen and Sophie were sent sailing in the air. The hoop kept right on go- ing through the car and caught me squarely in the center and sent me sailing back to the cradle of the deep. THOMAS E. LARKIN, JR. GIFTS TO BOYS It has been customary in pre- vious years to present favors to the members of the graduating class. Owing to a state of depression which has been prevalent for some time, most of the souvenirs this year came from Newberry ’s 5 10. I sincerely hope that these small remembrances will be lasting re- minders of the days spent in Law- rence High school. In view of the fact that our salu- tatorian, Theodore Jonas, has al- ways displayed such extraordinary talent and ability, I present him with this lamp shade so that he may not continue to dazzle us with his brilliance. To enable James Boyatt to save money on permanents, I have here a curling iron. Edwin Brown is a noted agricul- turist. With the hope that he will reap just what he sows, I present him with this package of seeds. Our class baby boy is George Swain. I imagine most of our class has, at some time or other, fervent- ly hoped that some day he would be big enough to act his age. With this in mind, I present him with this bottle of cod liver oil. Alexander Papp is our class pres- ident, and a good one, too. He has always given the impression of be- ing very fond of school. In years to come he probably will wish to dig up half-forgotten memories, so in accordance with this, I give him this little shovel. So that Ernest Cardoze may have a complete change in case he ever gets tired of his brunette, I think this blonde doll will come in handy. To help Thomas Larkin in com- batting feminine pests, I present him with this can of Flit. Woodrow Dackson is our famous salesman. So far he has always been successful in finding some- thing to say, but in the event that he fails to find his tongue in the future, I present him with this glass of lamb’s tongues. So that Ainslee Cameron may always have a snappy return, I have for him an elastic. To aid Gifford Griffin in preserv- ing his school-boy complexion, I present him with this cake of Palmolive Soap. That Antone Perry may in the future pick up his feet when walk- ing, I give him this pair of springs. So that Edward Gifford won’t have to use so much “Slickum”, I give him this hair net. To Walter Noyes, noteworthy printer, whose long hair I believe is his vexation, I present this card oi bobby pins. To enable Ralph Ingram, base- ball star, in recording all he catch- es, I give this fly-paper. That George Marks may always be “sweet”, I give him this bottle of imported perfume. There have been numerous oc- casions when Lincoln Mills would have liked to sleep in English class. To remind him of these times, I have for him this little pillow. Lloyd Nightingale has a great taste for adventure. To protect him in case of attack, I present him with this blunderbuss. To remind Eldon Allen of his The Lawrencian nickname in school, I give him this bag of “nuts.” Lloyd Bohaker is a chip oft the old block. He wants to become a dentist. After he finishes his course and is ready to practice, he may hang out this shingle to attract at- tention to his profession. Louis Santos wants to be a prize fighter. That he may be revived after each round, I present him with this fan. And last but not least is Robert McKenzie. To enable him to hold down a high position in the musi- cal world, I present him with this anchor. DOROTHY McLANE. CLASS GIFTS TO GIRLS It is our duty to present to each member of the senior class a favor which in later years may remind him of this occasion, and of the happy days spent in Lawrence High. There is nothing like starting at the bottom and working up, so to Constance Abbott, the baby of the class, goes this “coot widdew dowy.” There is one big difference be- tween “Connie” and the doll, how- ever — the poor doll can’t utter a sound. Will Isabel Jenkins please come forward and accept, with the best wishes of the class, this little book entitled, “Why Men Leave Home.” “That’s enough, Miss Miller!” are familiar words to the physics class. Frequently, Mr. Ballard has to in- terrupt his discourses on induction coils, and other equally profound subjects to remind Isabel Miller that the physics class is not the place to show her affection for the per- son sitting next to her. If it is practice you want, Isabel, here is this rubber doll. I think that the songbird of our class, who happens to be Mary White, should be rewarded for her efforts with this little Jar of sour pickles. We have in our midst a demure little miss, who has radio ambi- tions. Dot Bailey’s one hope is that her name will one day be linked with that of Rudy Vallee, but as you can see, Dot is tiny, and she has a wee voice. So here is a chair and a megaphone which may prove useful when you make your debut at the microphone. The class has fears for the safe- ty of Gladys Robbins. She is the quietest and most studious girl in our class, but every time a teacher speaks to her, her face turns a beautiful scarlet, and we expect to see her hair go up in smoke and flames. If this calamity ever be- falls you, Gladys, you can save wear and tear on the Falmouth Fire Department by using this lit- tle fire extinguishing set. Emma Lilly Erskine. What a beautiful name, but it doesn’t fit Emma. To remind you of what you should be, Emma, I present you with this lily. When Helen Hall takes a seat to play the hymn for morning as- sembly there is sure to be a snicker or two, for she has a habit of pep- ping up the solemn hymns with a touch of jazz. Helen, you can jazz them up to your heart’s con- tent on this piano. Every time that I see Sophie Clark escorted by some young man with whom I am not acquainted, I ask his name just to satisfy my curiosity. Every time I receive the same answer: “Oh, he is just one of my cousins.” Sophie, if you keep on you are going to have an awful bunch of cousins in a few years. In ! ■ Lawrence High School order to help you to keep track of them in future years, we give you this small memorandum. If Jeanne Spooner ever runs short of smiles, when burdened with wor- ry and care, this little face will come to her aid and smile for her. Anna May Fuller receives the si- lent admiration of the opposite sex for her attempts to captivate them by her exotic dancing, but she needs more practice. Anna May, you may be more successful if you take a few lessons from this dancer. Martha Grinnell amused us all on the senior “Freak Day” by im- personating a husky farm lad. Here is a favor from the boys of the class, something which no farmer should be without, a plug of to- bacco. It is a dirty trick to do this, nev- ertheless I feel it my duty. When Mary Hunt has a lazy spell, she comes to school minus her glasses. “Where are your glasses, Mary?” “Oh! I broke them.” Of course Mary can’t see without her glasses, so she doesn’t have any homework for a week. One day she even had the nerve to tell us that she swal- lowed a piece of them. That was good for two weeks. Mary, you will have no excuse in the future with this extra pair of glasses. Helen Studley is the class giggler, and when she is seized by one of he r frequent giggling spells, she has a hard time restoring herself to normal. This little blanket, if it is first dipped in water, should per- form the difficult task of dampen- ing your spirit. To Marie Perry, the household arts expert, goes this bag of cem- ent. That last cake was delicious, but I think that the recipe calls for more cement. If you ever see a voice before you can see its owner, it is sure to be that of Evelyn Czepiel. What a little girl, but what a big voice! In order to make you large enough to fit your voice, we are giving you this stretcher. Arlene Manley is the automobile enthusiast of our class. If you ever happen to run out of gas, Arlene, roller skating is a lot better than walking. It is fitting and proper that we should present to Georgianna Potter some memoir of her ability to be stubborn. Here is the old army mule himself. We hope that you don’t have any arguments with the mule. Caroline Barrows is nearly al- ways surrounded by a group of male admirers. We don’t know how you do it but some of the girls would like to know to what you owe your success. Why don’t you drop us a line and let us in on the secret of your popularity? To Violet Avant, goes this can of paint to ' use when she goes on the domestic warpath. This is not to be used on your finger nails. Last but not least comes Dot Mc- Lane, the tallest girl in the class. This giraffe will sympathize with you when you have a sore throat. Robert mckenzie. PRESENTATION SPEECH In order to show our utmost ap- preciation to Lawrence High School for all that it has done for us in the past three years, we, the class of 1933, take great pleasure in pre- senting these two pictures to the school. One picture is that of our dearly beloved teacher and friend, Miss Anna Warren Gardner, who in a sense graduates with us this June never to return again in the role The L awrencian in which we know and love her so well. For forty-one years she has been faitihfully teaching in Fal- mouth and has rendered invaluable service to the town. She has always shown a deep interest in her pupils, not only while they were in high school, but even after their gradu- ation. It is with the greatest sorrow that we see her leave. The other picture is one of the Lawrence High School building. It was painted by Lloyd Nightingale, who is a member of our class. May these gifts bring back kind memories of our class to the stu- dents and faculty of Lawrence High School. ALEXANDER PAPP. CLASS WILL BE IT REMEMBERED THAT WE, the class of 1933, of the Lawrence High School of Falmouth in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory but knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all for- mer wills by us at any time here- tofore made. After the payment of our just debts and funeral charges we be- queath and devise as follows: To the school we leave a picture of ourselves, suggesting that it be hung in the Main Room above the Roll of Ronor, that all may see it and be inspired. To Mr. Ballard we leave our skel- eton to be used in his future re- search work. If we are already six feet under when this will is read, dig us up with that five dollars ($5) left in our treasury. To Mr. Craig we leave the hope that the present Juniors will have learned to remain in their seats until dismissed, for the sake of the chairs, if nothing more. The riddles which often mysteri- ously appear on the blackboards, such as “If prosperity is just around the corner, why do we have traffic lights? ”, we leave with the permis- sion of its heretofore unknown author, Dorothy McLane, to Mary Donald. Sophie Clark leaves her quiet calm laughter to Alice Gifford. We leave our profound love for French History and the creation by our Senior French Class of a 1,000- word theme written in French on such illustrious subjects as the “Louis’s” to next year’s Senior French Class with our love and best wishes. “Wocdy” Dackson leaves his abili- ty to manage the Senior Class meetings to Ross Green. We leave the pounds Martha Grinnell lost last fall to Margaret Smith. “Tommy” Larkin and “Tickie” Hunt leave for the use of the whole school a book of personal experi- ences written by them entitled “How to Get Back to English Class When Kicked Out.” Helen Hall leaves the “jazzing up” of the hymns during morning exercises to anybody who can quali- fy. We doubt if she can excel Helen, but maybe if she tries real hard, she can win a tied place. With regrets “Bob” McKenzie is leaving Julia Parker to the tender care of Ernie Johnson, who is re- commended by Sophie Clark. We have one member who act- ually does her homework, even reading the English assignments, often twice. We very much doubt if this record can be equaled, and thus we feel safe in offering a prize of a corrected French History � Lawrence High School Resume Notebook to anyone who can surpass Gladys Robbins’ record for homework. Connie” Abbott leaves her “chat- tering” to Elsie Carlson. Not that we possibly expect Elsie to catch up within a mile of Connie”, but somebody has to carry it on, or else the school will be deafened by the silence. George Swain leaves his experi- ence in throwing notes to Willie” Brown. Anna May Fuller leaves all the poetry she has written to Ted” Sheehan to Margaret Lawrence with added suggestions for its cer- tain working. Ralph Ingram leaves his record as an all round good sport, both athletically and otherwise to any- one worthy. We, the whole class, leave our reputation to the Juniors. Handle it with care; we’ve been three years building it up. In testimony whereof we hereunto set our hands and in the presence of three witnesses declare this to be our last will this thirteenth day of June in the year one thousand nine hundred thirty-three. The Senior Class of 193 3. On this thirteenth day of June A. D. 1933 The Senior Class of Fal- mouth, Massachusetts, signed the foregoing instrument in our pres- ence, declaring it to be their last will: and thereafter as witnesses thereof we three, at their request, in their presence, and in the pres- ence of each other, hereto subscribe our names. Anna W. Gardner Kenneth C. Ballard Alan D. Craig ISABEL JENKINS. SUCCESS Tonight we are graduating from high school. Each one of us will receive a diploma signifying that he has successfully completed the requirements demanded by a sec- ondary school. Presumably we are ready to “paddle our own canoes”. But have you ever wondered just what our attitude is toward life or just what we intend to do with our own lives? When a person graduates from high school his chief ambition is to be successful. No matter what profession or business he may choose, he wants to be a success in it. Education has fostered this de- sire. One can’t get any sort of edu- cation without reading about fam- ous men and women, people who have amounted to something, people who have done things of which the world is proud, people who have lived successfully. The desire to be successful is the corner stone of success. More than this wish, one needs ability. Every person in this world has some special talent of his own which if properly developed will lead him to success. The difficulty lies in discovering and developing that talent and in building a found- ation for success. The schools have assumed this responsibility. From kindergarten through graduate courses in college, individuality is emphasized. For it is only when a person has found the work he is best fitted for and the work he wants to do that he will dig in and do it. Just before a tennis match you may have experienced that awful, overwhelming feeling that comes to you when you think of all the hun- dreds of strokes that must be i .« � � � - • tUibVi The Lawrencian played correctly. Often you lose the first few points because you are over anxious or because you re- member a time when you had shots just like those and flubbed them. Soon however you forget past shots or future points and “play the ball”. You have spent hours in practice. You know the way the strokes should be played. So the match becomes a chance to apply your knowledge and skill, and each stroke is a chance to build up vic- tory. So it is with life. At the start one can’t help feeling a little dismayed at the many hours of work waiting for him, and when he starts living, he is appalled by the number of blunders he makes. But he has the desire and the abil- ity to make good and soon he thinks of yesterday’s mistakes as lessons, and of today as being full of opportunities ,and of tomorrow as a time that will bring many more. In the 231st line of the fifth book of the “Aeneid” are written four Latin words — Possuntj, quia posse videntur — They can because they think they can. History has proved that Virgil was right. Its pages are filled with people who, although often laughed at and ridiculed by their fellow countrymen, accom- plished things because they were firmly convinced of their own abil- ity— Napoleon, Edison, Columbus, Luther Burbank, the Wright broth- ers — there are hundreds and hun- dreds of examples. In our lives there are going to be times when it will seem that there’s not much use in working — everything is against us. Buck up! Where there’s a will, there’s a way, and they can who think they can. Every one here tonight who has ever tried his hand at kite-flying knows that a kite rises against the wind and not with it. Success is like a kite — the greater the opposition, the greater the heights attained. Success comprises more than the desire to be successful, ability, and self-confidence. It needs an ob- ject and the will-to-work to achieve that object. There is no doubt that success represents work. It makes no dif- ference what walk of life a person may enter, he will find that in order to be a success he must work. Edison spent years of research to find the right filament for the in- candescent lamp. Gene Tunney spent just as many years in train- ing and preparation for his final bout with Dempsey. Yet work itself is not enough. One must have an object and each day’s task must be done with that object in view. The mere fact that you have a shovel in your hand and that you are busily turning up earth will not help you to make up your mind as to whether you are going to dig a ditch or plant a garden. Decide what you want to do, and then do it. Connie Mack wanted to build up another pennant-winning baseball team. He did it. He sent scouts around to high school fields and sand lots to pick up promising players. For fourteen years lie weeded out and trained the raw material until at the end of that time he had a world-beating team. Connie Mack and everybody else who ever has or ever will do any- thing had five qualities — the desire to be successful, ability, self-confi- dence, a purpose, and the will-to- work. These mean success. I riWjMMB Lawrence High School Valedictory: — Class mates: We all want to be successful. We have the ability; in many of us it may not be fully de- veloped, but it’s there. Set your aim in life. Work and play with that aim in view until it is accom- plished. Let us always remember our class motto — Possunt quia posse videntur— they can because they think they can. Tonight we are leaving L. H. S. We can not now realize how great a part these three short happy years will play in our lives. Let us see to it that all that our teachers and friends have done for us has not been done in vain. Members of the School Commit- tee, our superintendent, our princi- pal, our teachers, parents, and friends, the class of 1933 bids you farewell. ANNA MAY FULLER.
