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
