Lawrence High School 15 Cavanaugh, Leonard Costa, Robert Douthart, and Ronald McLane. A basketball song written by Marjorie Huxley, to the tune of “Don’t Give Up the Ship”, probably aided in urging the boys on to victory. Jeanette McDonald had the honor of being the second girl ever to be the President of the Sportsman- ship Brotherhood. This year the Brotherhood increased considerably, and there are now twenty-five sen- ior members in the organization. This year the Cape Cod Older Beys’ Conference was held in Hy- annis, with Leonard Costa presid- ing. “The Inkspot”, a weekly scandal sheet, with Elvira F. Costa as editor, displayed the literary genius of one of the Senior English classes. The true literary ability of the entire class is brought forth in the “Lawrencian”. The editor, Elvira Costa; Asst. Editor, Marjorie Hux- ley; and staff have created a big- ger and better “Lawrencian” than has been published in any preced- ing year. Marjorie Huxley and Austin Bow- man have been elected to have their names placed on the Roll of Honor. The names of only two members from each Senior Class are placed on this Bronze Tablet, so you can see that it is probably the greatest honor that one can receive in high school. The greatest event in our high school career is this graduation which you are witnessing this even- ing.

As we leaves this hall this evening, I am sure a great many of us will re- member the school motto of Loyal- ty, Honor, and Service, and carry its meaning with us into the world. Rae Simmons PROPHECY Twenty years have passed since the class of 1936 left L. H. S. I am now a telephone operator, the one who knows much but tells nothing. I have found out much about my old classmates, and I think I’ll tell you what they’re doing. Pauline Davis is now working for a man running a comedy on Broad- way. Nobody laughed, so he hired Pauline to laugh, or, should I say, giggle? Rita Ferreira is doing a very profitable business making very di- gestible doughnuts. You see she’s making doughnuts that are mostly all holes. Eddie Morrison, who wanted to be a doctor, is sawing bones all right, but I’m sorry to say they’re meat bones. My friend Marion Bowman isn’t working, for she has plenty of Jack (Cavanaugh). He is doing very well in the investment business, for his investments are all concrete. Pauline Studley, a singer in high school days, is now a singer in the Sewing Machine Co.; no, I mean, a sewer in the Singer Machine Co. John Meuse is a window washer. I should think he would get dizzy, but I suppose he is used to Heights. The good old manager, Robert Cardoze, is still managing. He man-
