We wish to thank you for the interest and help which you have given us throughout our school life, and we hope that you will enjoy our pro- gram tonight. Many of the great lessons of life come from the games we play in youth. There are a great many advantages to physical develop- ment, and it should be remembered that a fit mind lives only in a fine body. The idea of the importance of physical development has been in existence since the start of civil- ization. Let us go back to the ancient Greeks, who had a high degree of culture, and see how they went about securing a fit body. The Greeks were noted for their intel- lectual ability, and no race has ever surpassed them in physical de- velopment. The importance of having a strong body is clearly shown by the emphasis which the Greek peo- ple placed on their Olympic Games. For more than a thousand years the Olympic Games were held ev- ery fourth year in honor of Zeus, the highest of the Gods. These games were held in the most beau- tiful valley i n Greece. Of the many statues on the field the one of Zeus, made of ivory and gold, is the finest, being reckoned as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. At first, the only event in these Olympic Games was a two-hundred yard dash, but later the pentathlon, a five-fold match, took its place. The only prizes for these contests were olive wreaths. When the vic- tors returned to their native cities they received extraordinary honors, Statues were erected to them and they held the place of honor on public occasions. Often they were exempted from taxes, and in some cities they lived at public expense. These games exerted such a pro- found influence on the Greeks that a sacred truce was proclaimed be- fore the opening of the festival, and if any cities were at war, fighting ceased during the celebration. By means of these contests friendship and unity were increased. A Roman emperor finally did away with the Olympic Games. Although the Romans were a powerful nation, they did not put so much emphasis on athletics. The chief sport of the Romans was the gladiatorial contests which were held mainly for the entertainment of the nobles and because of the lust for human conflict. Prisoners of war and criminals were usually the participants in these cruel com- bats. Caesar once gave a show where three hundred twenty couples fought, and Titus gave an exhibi- tion of gladiators, wild beasts, and sea fights that lasted for a hun- dred days, in which ten thousand men fought. Such contests were stopped by the splendid daring of a monk who rushed into the arena and strove to part two gladiators. The infuriated spectators stoned him to death, but his brave sacri- fice had its reward, for the emperor forbade gladiatorial contests from that day on. During this period Lawrence High School not only physical development but also intellectual ability suffered a decline from the period before. In medieval times when knight- hood was in its prime, athletics were present in various forms, but the people rarely thought of them as the builders of strong bodies. Tournaments were the favorite game of this time, and these com- bats between knights often produced many injuries. A knight entered the tourneys principally for the pur- pose of upholding his honor. Although the gladiatorial contests and tournaments were considered as sports, they did not represent the Greek idea of uniting a strong body with a strong mind. At this time athletics and intellectual abil- ity of the people was still further inferior to that of the Greeks. It was not until the development of America that the Greek idealism was revived. Before the middle of the last cen- tury there was practically no such thing as organized athletics in the United States, and even in England the first intercollegiate contest be- tween Oxford and Cambridge did not take place until 1864. For a long period the keen desire of every normal boy to excel in sports was only half tolerated and time spent that way was often regarded as time lost. However, the energetic spirit of youth finally conquered the old-fashioned projudice, and to- day men realize that athletics form just as essential a part of a person’s education as the subjects taught in the schools. The term athletics which we hear so much about today, has been ex- panded until it includes all sports and pastimes which involve physi- cal effort. The present-day sports mean a great deal to those who participate in them, and they are the finest character building devices which we have. Athletics have also done much to foster the feeling of good friendship between the nations of the world. A good example of this is the Olympic Games, revived in 1896, which include most of the coun- tries in the world. With the excep- tion of the period of the World War, these events have been held at four-year intervals in some world capital. In track and field events the representatives of the United States have carried off the greater part of the honors. The most prominent sports today are those which involve team play such as basketball, football, and baseball. It is from team play that one learns the value of sportsman- ship and united effort, and these qualities are easily applied to every day life. More than this our mod- ern athletics contests develop in- tellectual ability. No man can play big league baseball without braihs. Other contests call for quick think- ing, and is me call for a very high order of intellectual ability. I have given you only a few in- stances in the progress of athletic development, but they will give you an idea of the steps the world has taken to provide a man with a strong body and to show him the value of the sportsmanship and loyalty gained from athletics. Our athletic contests should de- velop in us the principles which mark the difference between the man who co-operates unselfishly and the man who works only for himself, between the man who tries to build and the man who seeks to destroy, between the Lawrence High School booster and the knocker. The suc- cess of a nation depends upon the very qualities of team play that may win a football victory. Our nation must be held together as a team is held together, and if we as Americans can learn to play the game together as one great team, we need not fear for the future of our country. Donald Earle Ellery, Salutatorlan PRESENTATION OF CLASS GIFT TO SCHOOL On behalf of the class of 1935 I present this picture to Lawrence High School to commemorate the fact that the class graduates in the year of the one hundredth an- niversary of the founding of the Lawrence Academy. This little token which we leave to the school is very small in comparison with the knowledge and pleasure which we have derived from our associa- tion with the school. Donald Earle Ellery, President. PROPHECY It’s twenty years and I’m alive To scan the class of ’35 And see what changes time has wrought In that audacious, silly lot. New Kathryn Lawrence’s flair for art Was ’most enough to break your heart, But with all her talent and all her charms She’s tattooing cupids on sailors’ arms. Warren Landers’ bright red locks Are lying now in a six-foot box. A brilliant chemist we thought he’d be, But he failed to recognize T. N. T. Bertha Jenkins was such a talker There wasn’t one person able to mock her But, alas, now Bertha has nothing to say — She teaches the dumb with her hands all day. In high school Oliver Swain, our sheik, Picked up a new one every week, But just to show you it’s always the way — He’s the greatest old bach in Fal- mouth today. Agnest Romiza, tall and serene, Echind the bars is new to be seen. It’s not the bars of a country jail, For she’s a milk-maid with a pail. Now Donald Abbott, small and tiny, Owns a show and makes big money. Phyllis Boynton’s his bareback rider, And Monroe Joseph does stunts be- side her. A minister’s daughter, Helen Dee Is roving o’er the deep, blue sea. In navy slacks and sailor cap She’s chasing missionaries off the map. And Adelaide Hildreth — ’Tis so amazing — She’s one of the missionaries Helen’s chasing. An ambitious youth, James Cobb by name! To be a psychiatrist was his aim. But how do you think his bluff is selling? He’s pleasing the girls, their for- tunes telling. Thelma Robichaud with silver tongue c Lawrence High School A theatrical star was bouhd to be- come. She starred in a play that ran for a month — But the crowds ran too, I have a hunch. Robert Dufur, tall and blond. Of growing flowers was quite fond. As a grow r er of flowers he’s had no luck. For he is driving the Lewis’s laun- dry truck. The next in line is Lillian Parker. By her good-natured smile we al- ways could mark her, And even now she is not sad — You can see her grin in the tooth- paste ad. Robert Egeland, Eggie fcr short, Fooled with radios quite a lot. He discovered a spark that reached the stars So he could flirt with the girls on Mars. Beatrice Emerald among the girls Was famous for giving waves and curls, But now she has the craziest no- tion — That she’s a mermaid waving the ocean. The brightest boy w:s R L. S.. But what he’s now you’d never guess. Instead of testing oils and fats, Roger Savery rakes clams on Woods Hole flats. Eetty Wells’ name we did inscribe On the honor roll tablet in ' 35. Now on boxes of tablets her full name she seals With instructions inside to take after meals. Benjamin Tobey is teaching Latin — We all surmised that this would happen. For twenty years, no more, no less. He’s been right here in L. H. S. Now Olive Peck, demure and quain t, Was always thought to be a saint; But now she juggles cocktail shakers And spends her evenings cutting capers. Joe Silvia on an ocean liner As a chef could not be finer, But sad to say, his daintiest dishes In calmest weather feed the fishes. Of Helen Fish I am in doubt As just to how she did come out; But this much about her I know well — She had her face lifted and her arches fell. They say our class was really the worst, So who would think that from it would burst A first rate poet, Thure Blomberg by name, Who wrote love lyrics that won him his fame? Anna Douthart, tall and fair, Is now a crooner on the air. Her classmates all, without a doubt When she starts singing, tune her out. Ernest Cardeiro’s ambition was high— What do you think? He wanted to fly! Now he flies through the air, but how, if you please? He’s the daring young man on the flying trapeze. Lawrence High School Caroline Gomes in shorthand and typing Could make her fingers go like lightening, But now she toe dances as she goes And instead of her fingers uses her toes. In Jimmy Wynne we had what’s rare, A gentle boy with blazing hair. He’s a sailor now on t he bounding Main, But when ashore, he raises Cain. There was a maiden, short and sitout. Her name was hard to spell all out. Yes, Mary Fernandes is the one — She’s making the famous Fernandes gum. Elmer Fuller, Gumpy for short, Is now a fish warden, believe it or not. Of tennis once he was very fond, Now that’s forgotten — he’s guard- ing a “Pond”. When Julia Parker went out West To Hollywood, she was a pest Until she played as she knew best, And then, oh boy! Good-bye Mae West. An outstanding athlete was Donald Ellery. He also was bright in everything generally. But now he’s a dealer in ice and fish — Cynthia, did you have a hand in this? Connie Bourne was a sprightly Miss Whom all the boys would have liked to kiss, But Connie’s heart too long did roam — Her address is now an old maids’ home. We welcomed handy Dick Cardoza Who rangs the bells when class was over. Now when he rings he starts up moans For Dick’s a salesman canvassing homes. Of Jimmy Costa it’s hard to say How many could guess where he is today. He went to the south seas to dive for pearls, And is making a hit with the native girls. You’ve seen the changes time has wrought In that audacious, silly lot. Where they’ll be later I cannot tell, But wherever they are, I wish them well. Beatrice Jane Douthart. CLASS GIFTS TO THE BOYS The first name I have is Roger Savery. For a while this year Roger was a “Hastay” man, but when he went to the hospital he lost his speed. To see if you can catch up with what you lost, Roger I present you with this little car. Donald Abbott is our little, but cur mighty, man. Donald so that your brawn can catch up with your brain I want you to take a lesson from Popeye, and accept this can of spinach. We have a boy in our class who is a very colorless sort of a person. Jimmy Wynne, please come up here. Jimmy, to make you a little more colorful, for a change, I present you with this box of rouge. Lawrence High School Our president, Don Ellery, has been seen down in Woods Hole quite frequently this winter. Do you go down to look over the fish situation Don? This gift I have for you isn’t made by a well-known fish dealer, but it might remind you of pleasant things. Here is a can of sardines. Next is our golf enthusiast, James Costa. Jimmy, here is a little pres- ent for you. The thing all good golf- ers start off on. (A package of tea.) Oliver Swain, will you step up, please? Oliver is going to be a florist and make bigger and better flowers. All right, Oliver, see what you can do with this flour. Monroe Joseph wants to be a nurse. Monroe, that you may have a spare in case of loss, I present you with this thermometer. For Warren Landers I have some- thing that will be amusement for hours to come. Warren made very realistic cow noises in English class which drive us nearly to insanity. To get an example of how you should behave, imitate this mute ccw. We should be presenting a gold medal to Ernest Cardeiro tonight. He has been in a class in which he is the only boy for two years, and he still has iron clad nerves. To prevent you from losing them, Ernest, here is a can of Postum. To Richard Cardoze I am going to present a gift which will enable him to keep his school-girl com- plexion. A bar of Palmolive. Our class is full of brawny brutes. Thure Blomberg is one of them. As we would hate to see you waste your time as a Flat-foot, Thure, please take this pair of arch supporters. Elmer Fuller, will you please step forward. Elmer doesn’t cue a lot about smiling. If you ever do feel inclined to smile, to avoid any cracking, rub in a little of this Pond’s Cold Cream. Joseph Silvia seems a little tired these days. Maybe it’s the cigar- ettes he’s smoking. Here Joseph, get a lift with a Camel. Bob Dufur, I’m going to pick on you next. After considering the situation from every angle, I have decided that you have a flaw. No curls. To make a complete job of it as a “drug store cowboy’’ here is a curling iron. Next is cur little bey with high aspirations, Jimmy Ccbb. Jimmy, I have heard that you want to be a psychiatrist. To aid you in probing deeper into the minds of your sub- jects, please take this little knife. And last and almost least, Mr. Bob Fgeland. Bob is a vsrv pol- ished young gentleman. Bob, to prevent you from tarnishing before you have a chance to crash the 400, keep this handy. A can of shellac. T . . „ Julia Crosby Parker. GIFTS TO THE GIRLS Boy! How I hate to do this! Miss Anna Douthart, I’m going to pick on you first. Anna, when in singing, you reach high “c”, it sounds like a police siren. We give you this siren, to keep your sharps from getting flat. Speaking of sirens, Miss Connie Bourne is the class siren. Miss Bourne wants to be a nurse, so we give you a bottle of smelling salts. I suggest that you might use them to wake up a certain young L. H. S. graduate. Miss Bertha Jenkins, please step forward. Bertha you’re always but- ting into everything. So that you Lawrence High School % can butt to your heart’s content and still make very little impres- sion, .we give you this cast iron billy goat. Miss Beatrice Emerald, you’re next. Beatrice your nickname is “Blimp”. I’m sure you don’t weigh so much as this little “blimp”. Miss Phyllis Boynton, please step up. Phyllis you’re the most quiet girl in the class, therefore we award you this diploma for quietness. Miss Jane Douthart, step up, please. Jane, you do so much talk- ing that we think you should be a lawyer. Since it would be a long time before you’re admitted to the bar, we admit you to this one. (Wooden bar). Miss Adelaide Hildreth, front, please. Miss Hildreth you are al- ways chewing gum. Give Wrigley a break, and chew on this teething ring. Miss Kathryn Lawrence next, please. Miss Lawrence is the class artist. To help your artistic abil- ity along we give you this excellent paint brush. Miss Mary Fernandes, we’re go- ing to call on you next. When you laugh, Mary, the only animal that can give you competition is this little donkey. Helen Dee Nightwine, will you be next? Helen, as a reminder to drive your car at a moderate speed and keep away from the telephone poles, we give you this police ticket. Lillian Parker is the next un- lucky one. Lillian, your ambition is to be a private secretary. We give you this small pencil so that you can get plenty of practice. An- other thing, a good secretary should mind her boss. Blush for the audi- ence, Lillian! — Thank you. Olive Peck, front please. Miss Peck has a passion for new Fords and also a young man by the name of Chisel. To help you chisel a ride in that new Ford we give you this one. (Chisel). Agnes Romiza, you’re next. You all know Agnes is quite a dress- maker. To enable you to do some fine needle work, Agnes, we give you this needle and thread (very large). Miss Thelma Robichaud, step up, please. Thelma, your nickname is “Tugboat Annie.” You’re very much like Marie Dressier, eve ' h - ugh you are slightly heavier. That little difference doesn’t matter though, so we give you this tugboat. I guess we’ll call on Elizabeth Wells next. We haven’t been able to scrape up anything against Elizabeth. No one seems to know much about her. Miss Wells, be- cause you’re the dark horse of the class we give you this little dark horse. Miss Carolyn Gomes is the next one. Miss Gomes, I notice you do quite a bit of talking. You say more in five minutes than anyone else says in an hour. As a reward for your vocal abilities we give you this microphone. We shall now call on Helen Fish. Helen, you do a lot of whispering in your English class. We figure you have something up your sleeve. Whenever Mr. Allen looks your way, your face has a guilty look. This time we’re going to give you an empty sleeve. You can’t pos- sibly have anything up this one. Miss Julia Parker, I’m giving the audience a break by ending up with you. You’re the last but not the least. Julia, you should be an actress, because you’re a very hot number. To keep you cooled off, we give you this fire engine. Robert Egeland.

Those to receive first mention are our class officers, who have always done their work to the best of their ability. Donald Ellery, our presi- dent, has led our class meetings during our three years in high school. The meetings were few and far between in our sophomore and junior years, but this year they have been more numerous and suc- cessful. Of our other class officers the two outstanding ones are: Elmer Fuller, who has been vice- president for two years; and Beatrice Emerald, who has been secretary for three years. In athletics our class has been well represented. There are seven boys who have played on the foot- ball, basketball, or baseball teams at one time or another. These boys are: Donald Ellery, Thure Blom- berg, Elmer Fuller, Robert Dufur, James Wynne, Roger Savery, and Ernest Cardeiro. The two out- standing athletes in the class are: Thure Blomberg and Donald Ellery. They have both played on all three teams at some time during the past three years. We have had two football captains from our class: Robert Dufur in his junior year, and Donald Ellery in his senior year. Julia Parker, Olive Peck, Helen Nightwine, Jane Douthart, and Ann Douthart have represent- ed our class in the girls’ basketball team. Last spring Elmer Fuller and Donald Ellery had the honor to receive National Athletic Scholar- ship Society keys. This spring these keys were awarded to Roger Savery, Thure Blomberg, and Ern- est Cardeiro. In order that one may be awarded one of these keys, he must have won at least one let- ter in one of the three major sports. In addition to this, he must have an average in his school work for three consecutive semesters equal to or higher than the school average. In our junior year we became eligible for membership in the Sportsmanship Brotherhood, and six members of the class were elected to it. These were: Adelaide Hildreth, Donald Ellery, Helen Nightwine, Constance Bourne, Eliza- beth Wells, and Benjamin Tobey. This year Thure Blomberg, Warren Landers, Richard Cardoze, Bertha Jenkins, Thelma Robichaud and Ernest Cardeiro have been elected to it. While we were juniors, we gave the senior class such a successful party at the Coonamessett Inn, in Hatchville, that the junior class gave us a party in the same place this year. We have had some very interest- ing and educational assemblies dur- ing the last three years. In some of them such men as Cameron Beck, director of the New York Stock Exchange Institute, Congress- man Charles L. Gifford, and Dr. Samuel W. Grafflin, a well-known lecturer, spoke to us. This year the Cape Cod Older Boys’ Conference was held in Fal- mouth on March 9th. There were many interesting lectures by some well-known speakers given to the boys who attended. Roger Savery, who was vice-president of the con- Lawrence High School ference, did much to insure its suc- cess. On March 7 of this year, the hundredth anniversary of Lawrence High School was celebrated by very interesting assemblies, which lasted all day long, and by the wearing of old time costumes, by the pupils and faculty. The three members of our class who took an active part in the celebration were: Thelma Robichaud, Donald Ellery, and James Cobb. One of the outstand- ing features of the celebration was a “Metrical History of Lawrence High School from 1835 to 1935,” which Mr. Davis read as the open- ing event. The dramatic talent of some of the members of our class has been brought to our attention through the plays put on by the Dramatics Club. In their sophomore year Julia Parker and Thelma Robichaud took part in the play, “I’ll Explain Everything”. These two girls took the honors for acting again in their junior year, in the play “Drums of Death”. The highest honor which anyone can receive is to have his or her name cast in bronze and placed on the Bronze Honor Roll Tablet. From the graduating class are chosen each year for this honor, the two members who in the eyes of their fellow students, have best exemplified the ideals of Loyalty, Honor, and Service. The boy and girl who were chosen for this honor this year are: Donald Ellery and Elizabeth Wells. Our class has been unusual in many ways, and we are again do- ing the unusual by having caps and gowns as the official garb for graduation. We are now at the end of our high school life willing and able to face all of our problems, and live up to our motto: “Climb Though the Rocks be Rugged”. I hope, and sincerely believe, that everyone of us will go out into the world with a better outlook on life because of the training received at Lawrence High School. Ernest Cardeiro THE CHANGED ATTITUDE TOWARDS SCIENCE For a start tonight in showing how people have changed in their attitude towards science in the past few centuries, let us look at the course on which science was sail- ing about five hundred years ago. Those were the days of alchemy and the days when all scientists were in search of a substance that would change all foreign elements into gold. Black in the shadows of a room, lined with glinting shapes of ser- pentine and crooked retorts, there stands a bent form of a man. A hand moves out, and, scorched and twisted by the heat of many fires, takes hold of some tongs. It deftly lifts a bowl of red hot glass from the hearth. The cover is off. Strong vapors rise. The hand again moves thru the dark and raises the fiery bowl close to the eye. The form unbends. No gold! No gold! With a thrust as quick as Jove’s, he breaks the flask on the floor. The fire dies out. No single stir is left within that room. No gold, nor was anything new created. And yet his sons carried on. Yes, his sons did carry on, and unceasingly they tried to find that elusive philosopher’s stone. Trevisan t The Lawrencian and Henry spent fortunes, both in money and material, in search of that miracle of chemical change. Scientists thought that the only reason that the facility of changing all the crude elements into gold had not been discovered was that they had made inconceivable mistakes in their research. They were certain that this means of gold transition had been incarnated in the earth by some mystical spirit. Alchemists even took up the practice of the well-known Faust and signed con- tracts with the devil with the hope that they would find the golden grail. Trevisan, an old alchemist, would take hens’ eggs by the thousands and try to get gold by mixing their yelks with some metal, such as lead or iron. The old scientists were unsuccesful, to be sure, b ut they always kept going. An alchemist was never beaten. However, as we know today by the law of the con- servation of matter which says that matter can neither be created nor destroyed, these old scientists were striving vainly. A few years later a new sort of magic came into science. All sci- entists were searching for a uni- versal medicine called “elixir vitae”, or the tonic of life. This was to be a panacea for all the ills of man, and its great objective was to ward off the encroachments of old age. The desire to find this tonic led Ponce de Leon to discover Florida, as you all know, when he was in search of the fountain of youth. In Europe, a short time after Florida was discovered, a man was said to have found the potent fluid that would give people eternal youth. The people took the dis- covery for granted, but they had to have something to take care of the physical injuries that a person might undergo in the course of a day. Well, magic again lent a hand, and here is a little story in explanation. One day a butcher cut his hand. He immediately applied to a noted scientist for aid. The scientist, as the story goes, gave him a fluid, half of which was to go on the w r ound and half on the knife that had cut him. It was thought that a magic current flowed through the air and the two halves of the fluid served as poles to carry the heal- ing current to the wound. If the wound did not heal, it was always found that the harmful object had fallen into the dirt. After a great number of these cure-alls had completely failed, the skepticism of the people reached its kindling point, and the old alchemists were shunned through- out the world. And so science in the fifteenth century had almost completely lost its influence. Now let us look at its standing five hun- dred years later. Today we have our new modern laboratories that are lined with white tile and are illuminated to the fullest extent, and inside them the modern scientists use platinum weights with which they measure down to one one-hundredth of a milligram. There are also many other calibrated instruments, whose purpose is to reduce (to as near to zero as possible) the error due to inacurate measurements. Another important factor in the present day analytical laboratory which is perhaps in most direct contrast to the days of alchemy, is the purification of reagents. This process makes more precise and Lawrence High School delicate experimentation possible. When an alchemist wanted to heat a substance, he put the sub- stance in an iron bowl and placed it over a crude hearth. The high- est temperature that could possibly be attained was 1000° Fahrenheit, and this was not constant. Today scientists use electric furnaces and thermostatically controlled heating units which are capable of heating a substance to 5610° Fahrenheit and keeping the temperature vari- ation down to one-tenth of a de- gree. A well known modern sci- entist who has made use of prac- tically all of these recent develop- ments is Alexis Carrel, a French- man. He won the Nobel Prize in 1912 for extensive work in the transplantation of organs. There are many other such men who have profited by modern discoveries ar.d as a result have vastly aided the cause of science. Today there still lurks in our midst the suggestion of that magic that was so dominant in the late fourteen hundreds. We have cure- alls, panaceas, and about all the ever-constant false advertising. Most of the present-day panaceas are due to new biological discover- ies. An example of this is the re- cent discovery of glandular func- t ' ors. Af!er this discovery was made, there were immediately about twenty patent medicines placed on the market to cure various glandu- lar disorders. Day after day you read in the newspapers how the modern world is looking up to science for aid. Every one of you must have read, not long ago, when the great earth- quake took place in Formosa, how it was hoped that within a few years science would be able to pre- dict these earthquakes much more precisely. The natural question now arises, “What has caused this vast change”? In the fourteen hun- dreds, science was shunned and dis- regarded; today it is looked up to for help and for aid. The only answer is that the world down through the centuries has had its needs just as ever before, and sci- ence has provided for the greater part of them. An event that is fresh in the minds of everyone present is the recent sand storms and removal of topsoil out West. Scientists have warned those Western farmers for years and said, “If you don’t plant a growth of vegetation whose roots will hold the topsoil on your land, you won’t have any topsoil in a few years.” The farmers thought nothing of this and said, “When our topsoil goes or loses its fertility, science will find a means for us”. Find a means for them! That’s all sci- ence has been doing since the fer- tilizer supply in Chili began to give out, and American chemists pre- pared a way for using the nitrogen in the air to make fertilizer for the farmers. Right here tonight, I’ll wager that more than one-eighth of you men have discussed the oil ques- tion at some time or other. What is going to happen to our oil sup- ply in a few years if we keep on consuming it at the rate we have been going? I know what the im- mediate answer of the average per- son is. It is that science will take care of us: the scientists will have something to take the place of oil. Now I think the change in atti- tude of the world toward science in the past five hundred years has been c The Lawrencian clearly shown. The alchemists were working to benefit themselves by searching for the great philoso- pher’s stone that would turn base metals into gold. Today the sci- entists are striving to benefit humanity. They are working for the welfare of the people. In the days of alchemy the people were skeptical throughout the whole domination of the magical period. Today people realize the great amounts of experimentation and calculation that have to be carried through in order to produce these phenomenal d ' sccveri.es for them, and it is for this reason that sci- ence today is dominant throughout the world. Classmates : Tonight we leave our Lawrence High, never to return to her aca- demic realm. Realizing this fact we should in our future lives take science as an example, or, in other words, “Climb though the rocks be rugged.” Science has climbed and the rocks have been very rugged, but today science is the greatest factor of human life. Likewise we, the class of 1935, must keep going and treat all mis- haps and failures as stepping stones to our great objective in life. It is not possible for us to get some- thing for nothing in this world, classmates; we must pay the price and climb though the rocks be rugged. Friends, the class of 1935 bids you farewell.
