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.
