The Lawrencian CLASS HISTORY Tonight is the last time that the class of ’34 will ever be assembled, and now it is a good opportunity to review what has happened in the three years just gone by. In our sophomore and junior years our class meetings, which were few and far between, were led by Robert Dufur. This year the many meetings were successfully conduc- ted by our president, Lester Davis. Of the other officers, Anne Leather- bee, our treasurer, was the most noticeable. We shall remember her coming around every once in a while, wanting to know where our dues were, and why they were not paid up to date. In athletics we have eleven boys who at one time or another have played on the football, basketball, or baseball teams. The four out- standing ones are: Armand Parent, Edward Sheehan, Leonard Rogers, and Joseph Towers. These four boys are so good that they have played on all three teams at some time during the past three years. We have also had two basketball captains from our class: Edward Sheehan in our junior year and Ernest Johnson this year. The Dramatics Club has shown us that we have a group of very good actors and actresses, though these actors did not all show up until our senior year. In our soph- omore year Marion Smith was the only one to represent us in “She Stoops to Conquer”, a very good play by the way. In our junior year Margaret Lawrence had to do all the honors for our class in “I’ll Ex- plain Everything”. But when this year came with the very thrilling “Drums of Death”, we were well represented. The cast included such talent as Ernest Johnson, Edward Sheehan, Marion Smith, Marjorie Simmons, Harry Hauston, Francis Mclnnis, and Genevra Carpenter. While we were juniors, we gave the seniors such a successful party at the Coonamessett Inn, in Hatch- ville, that the juniors this year chose the same place in which to give us one. During their junior year four members of our class had the honor to become members of the Sports- manship Brotherhood, the society whise members play fair. This year seventeen more were admitted. Last year three of our classmates had the good fortune to go to Pro- vidence to sing in the Eastern Music Chorus. These three were Alice Giflord, Vera Welsby, and David Tait. Also last year there was an or- chestra which played for dancing after the basketball games. This orchestra went by the name of “The Lawrence High Collegians”. John Wayman and Ross Green played in it. It is my belief that the people went for the dancing and not for the games. This year the “Weakly Chuckle”, a paper edited by the VI C English Class, was started in March and faithfully appeared once a week until near the end of school. This paper cost only a cent and we re- ceived our money’s worth, especially if there was something in it about us. During the past three years we have had many interesting assem- blies. In one Cameron Beck, direc- tor of the New York Stock Ex- change Institute, spoke to us, and in another Congressman Gifford spoke. This winter we had one day so cold that there was no school. This was the only time during our whole high school life that school was closed on account of bad weather.
