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
