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. We all realize that this is the last time that we shall be able to meet as a class, and we are making the best of the evening. When we first entered Lawrence High, we all envied the Seniors because it was their last year in school, but now, since we ourselves are about to graduate, we do, I am sure, deep down in our hearts, wish that we might be able to start our high school career all over again. 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-

16 The Lawrencian ages a figher, “The Silent Kid.” No- body is supposed to know, but this fighter is Lewis Motta. Ronnie Densmore likes his job at the “Western Union”, for he has the key to so many love affairs. Mary Franco and Frances Baker are in the dough. Yes, you see they are in the bakery business. Mary Goff in is a bug hunter. She is now studying the life of a flea. She once told me it was quite in- teresting, but not quite up to scratch. Virginia Overy has gone against the grain, as you might say. She recently appeared in John Hastay’s “Believe It Or Not” column. She hasn’t spoken a word in the last twenty years. Dorothy Davis, who wanted to be a librarian, is now beginning at the bottom and working up. She’s a floor-washer in the Library of Con- gress. William Mullen certainly knows how to overcome a difficulty all right. He has started a shoe fac- tory that specializes in extra-size shoes. The L. H. S. girls, Lewis, Huxley, and Schlepark, are acrobats. Elean- or Lewis leaps, Marjorie Huxley hops, and Harriet Schlepark skips. Jeanne Hall has used the soft pedal quite a bit on the piano, but now she has had the soft pedal applied to her. She works in a library surrounded with signs say- ing, “Quiet Please.” Although the quietest girl in High School, Ernita Booker is now a cir- cus barker and making quite a bit of noise. Betty Chase is a radio singer, and she always greets her radio fans with, “Harlow again.” Ronald McLane is a potato grow- er, and he is doing very well. He is raising Pecks and Pecks. Lennie Costa has made his pile, and he is now on Park Avenue, but I heard he got angry the other night when somebody sat on his high hat. Robert Griffin started out to be a surveyor, but, alas, they put a car on the baseball diamond he last surveyed and called it the “Ride of Thrills.” I always knew Sarah Greene was interested in Mills, and now she is running a chain of them all over the country. Annette Illgen is a well-known torch singer, and she is singing in the world- renowned night club of Robert Douthart. Cynthia Cahoon is a cigarette girl there. Busy as a bee all her life, Elvira Costa has decided to be a bee-keeper and let the bees do the work. We always thought Harold Crock- er would be a hurler, but a hurler of a baseball. He is now hurling pancakes in a one-horse restaurant. Anita Guaraldi is known all over the world ,and she has put Fal- mouth on the map. She’s a world famous bug-hunter. Barbara Harris, voted the best dancer in High School, now dances on the back of a horse in a circus. George Ferreira is still carrying on his quiet campaign; he is the right hand man of Mayor La Guardia in keeping noise out of New York. Webster was the bane of Otis Hunt’s existence in High School; now he is helping the pupils of to- day by editing a new dictionary with larger words and smaller pages. Willis Saulnier has taken over the Major Bowes amateur hour, and I hear he didn’t favor Lawrence High School the other night when he gave our two best musicians, Eddie
