B-6 Class reunions p Class reunions are not every- one’s first choice. But being the sentimental junkie that I am, 1 get the same tug on the heartstrings as I do at parades and weddings - even when the reunion is not my own. 4 3 A full platterofLawrence High School alumni were on the scene Sept. 18 at the Nimrod. The Class of 1943 was in a quite elegant din- ing room setting, while the Class of 1958 gathered around the lounge for an informal get-together. Just sitting on the sidelines listening to the spontaneous greetings and watching the astonished expres- sions of first impressions after lo these many years was a trip into the past for me. Falmouth Chatterbox by Kitty Baker For those of u who had “Pop” Ballard as a higk-school teacher, seeing his son, Jbjjn, was de J a ™ in spades. The most tfifring moment came when Pete PMerson arrived and was completely taken aback to see his brother, Bruqjb, here from dis- tant shores for the ’58 reunion. This came the closest to being a tear- jerker. AnH what a shock to hear that Maty and Bob Breivogel just cele- brated their 50th wedding anniver- sary with their family. Mary and 1 go way back to grammar school days on Fishers Island, N.Y., and, as she remarked “being an Army brat is more than what most people under- stand.” The members of both classes were dressed in their best dud and looking mighty fine. Hank DeSantis is still a handsome fellow, and “Cricket” Bigelow still -Has those haunting big eyes. Edna Harding looks more ar d more like Bette Midler, and Dick i Sample is stUl making people laugh. ,Ajon Doukas was discreetly showing j off his Gape Cod boxer shorts. Luana fWterson was hpr usual gra- cious self, and Ray Adtzjris normal gregarious self. s f Great to see Molly Mann loading so well alofig, with Maggie Cassidy, Florenct Perry, Adeline Milanese, Maurice Watson, Arthur Rapoza and a host of others. C5i|e Enterprise Falmouth. Mass.. We Members of the Class of 1940 at Lawrence High School celebrated their 50th reunion September 8 at the Falmouth Yacht Club and the following day at a barbecue at the home of class member Constance DeMello Blackway. On the class’s formal agenda was the discussion of a proposed memorial reading garden for the old Lawrence School site. The school, built in 1895, was razed in 1953. Above, at the Yacht Club, are class members: Front row: Robert Simmons, Mary Overy Thackston, Dorothy Francis White, Richard Brievogel, Georgina Bonito Price, Mary Lawrence Bush, Constance DeMello Blackway, Melvina Crosby Herberger; Second Row: Jeannette Hurford Davis.

Foremost among these pleasant reminiscences will be our recollection of Miss Allen. For thirty years now, she has capably taught modern languages in our school system. During these years she has watched classes come and go; she has seen the development and growth of Lawrence High School. Throughout this time she has been a respected and loved adviser to all pupils. Accordingly we, the members of the Class of 1940, feel it a distinct privilege to dedicate our Commencement Issue to Miss Helen Greene Allen in appreciation for all that she has done for Lawrence High School and for us.

Marshall, Principal T HE world today has many opportunities to offer young men and young women who are willing and able to look for them. The business world is shaped much like a ladder, broad at the bottom and tapering toward the top. Around the foot there is a tremendous crowd through which one must force his way to reach the bottom rungs. Real effort is neces- sary for the one who has ambition and dili- gence to push through this crowd. In this crowd we find many who want to climb but are waiting for someone to clear the path for them. There are others who not only refuse to attempt the push, but will place every obsta- cle in the path of ambitious climbers. Initial progress is always slow but always possible. Industriousness at the very beginning will contribute much to your progress toward the ladder. Once a foothold has been secured, progress seems a little easier, the people lack- ing are left behind. Once you start to climb, your individual performance will be noticed and if you are worthy, there will be many will- ing hands to help you climb as high as you are able. The top of the ladder is the goal of every ambitious person- — the spot that you should aim for. But in order to arrive, you must be willing to work, and work hard. You must possess strength of body, mind, and character. With strength of mind and character you can overcome disappointments and setbacks, and then work to accomplish bigger things. Take off your coats and make up your minds to go to work. The ladder is there for each of you to climb, and you leave L. H. S. with my best wishes and sincere hope that you possess the stuff that will help you up the ladder of success and achievement.

The first few weeks of our Sophomore year found some of us in rather embarrassing predicaments, due to the fact that a few of our upper classmen were finding it extremely amusing to practice their superiority over the first class of undergradu- ates, who, of course, were we Sophomores. However, we gradually regained our standing and settled down with our fellow superiors, having no resentment towards them; after all, we were some day to have these same privi- leges. During the early part of the first term, we elected our officers for the ensuing year. Our little, red-haired Betty Davis was unanim- ously elected President; Stanley Burgess, Vice- President; and Jeannette Hurford, Secretary- Treasurer. Throughout the year, our boys and girls played remarkably well in all types of sports; namely, golf, football, basketball. A few clubs were formed and quite a number of our classmates participated in them. The most important ones were the Dramatic, Rifle, and Orchestra Clubs. We ended our Sophomore year with a long list of Honor Students: Roberta Jones, Anne Burgess, Charlotte Mc- Kenzie, Jeannette Hurford, Richard Barry, Milford Hatch, George Kariotis, and Clayton Collins. We looked forward to just as much success in the year of 1938 and 1939 as we had had during the first year. Feeling a little more at home, and having just a little more self-confidence, we again entered Lawrence High as Juniors in 1938. A number of rather important events happened during this year. The first, which was a bit spectacular, was the great hurricane. It struck our coast with great force on September 21, 1938, and because of damages incurred the schools were closed for a few days, much to the joy of the young Juniors and Seniors. The Collecting Net” sponsored a high school essay contest, on the Hurricane, itself. All the prize winners were members of the Junior Class. Betty Davis carried off the honors of first prize; Roberta Jones, second prize. To give a brief resume of the field of ath- letics, I shall mention the outstanding players in football, basketball, and baseball. They were: Jim Wright, Inman Soule, Harold Baker, Charlie and Elwyn Turner, Clayton Collins, Bert Soderland, Lawrence Farias, Dick Barry, and Warren Davis. They all proved worthy of mention for their grand work on these teams. On the Golf Team were: Everett Dun- ham, Harold Baker, and Francis Lewis. Jim Wright also represented the Junior Class at the Brockton tournament. Connie DeMello, Charlotte McKenzie, Rebecca Cahoon, and Dorothy Frances shared highest honors on the girls’ basketball and baseball teams. Other notable players were: Betty D avis, Mary Overy, Shirley Barrows, Pat Hendrie, and Martha Sturges. In the election of the class officers, the male members of our class dominated. Jack Mixer became President; Stanley Burgess, Vice-Presi- dent; Richard Barry, Secretary; and Milford Hatch, Treasurer. To say just a bit about clubs, the Lawrencian Club was again revived by Miss Arenovski. Many members from our class took part in its functions. Betty Davis became Associate Editor. Other clubs formed were the Socii Orationes (Public Speaking Club), Dramatics, Golf, Rifle, and Orchestra. Paul Blanchard at- tended the Music Festival in Boston that spring. Near the close of this year, the following Juniors were elected to the Sportsmanship Brotherhood: Charlotte McKenzie, Betty Davis, Rebecca Cahoon, Constance DeMello, Jeannette Hurford, Robert Simmons, Milford Hatch, George Kariotis, Richard Barry, and Jim Wright. At the close of the year, the following mem- bers from our cl ass were Honor Students: Clayton Collins, Milford Hatch, Jeannette Hur- ford, Roberta Jones, George Kariotis, and Charlotte McKenzie. Angelina Kariotis re- ceived the Smythe Award for Improvement. Having closed our Junior Year at Lawrence High with even more prominence than our Sophomore year, we re-entered our beloved school as Seniors with very high hopes for con- tinued success. We were at last Seniors — Seniors with the highest privileges and rights of all students in the school — Seniors who were to be looked up to. It was then that we were determined to make a name for ourselves. Twenty-two THE LAWRENCIAN — 1940 Though we had not forgotten our severe treat- ment from our fellow Seniors, during that try- ing Sophomore Year, we did little or nothing about making rules that our Sophomores should follow. Feeling that we had a great deal more important things to accomplish during the course of this year, we left the Sophs alone with their lollypops. We commenced our Senior year by having our pictures taken. As usual, there was much scurrying about — girls applying their make-up under the stern eyes of the faculty and boys taking time out of classes to adjust their ties and slick down their hair. Then, of course, came the day when the pictures were ready to be given out. There appeared some of the most handsome specimens, that have yet to be discovered in real life. During the year, the outstanding athletes were Inman Soule, Jim Wright, Elwyn and Charlie Turner, Bert Soderland, Milford Hatch, Dick Barry, and Clayton Collins. Inman Lanky” Soule was chosen as Captain of the All-Cape football team. Out of a total of nine games, we won six, tied one, and lost two. On December 12, the players of the team were honored at the annual football banquet, given by the Falmouth Rotary Club. In baseball, golf, and basketball, the following players were important, in addition to the names previously mentioned: Warren Davis, Jim Cavanaugh, Dick Breivogel, Phil Norris, Everett Dunham, Harold Baker, Francis Lewis, Julio Perry, Lewis Marks, and Lester Crane. In girls’ basketball, hockey, and baseball the following members were outstanding: Connie DeMello, Dorothy Frances, Rebecca Cahoon, Mary Overy, Shirley Barrows, Gill Williams, Pat Hendrie, and Charlotte McKenzie. From the Lawrencian Club came exception- ally good material by all members of the staff. Betty Davis was named Editor-in-Chief of the Lawrencian Magazine. The paper again took top honors for its excellent features. Dorothy Frances and Mary Overy, members of the Pub- lic Speaking Club, were awarded prizes for their fine orations given for the American Legion. Miss Frances, winning first prize, re- presented the school at Barnstable in another speaking contest. During the March vacation, 23 Seniors left for Washington, D. C., where they toured the Capital and neighboring states. I shall not speak of the romances that blos- somed between certain members of our class, but, nevertheless, they did blossom. At the end of the first half of the year, the students having an average of 90% and over in all major subjects were named. Never be- fore has any class had such a large number of Honor Students. They were: Charlotte Mc- Kenzie, Roberta Jones, Mary Lawrence, Betty Davis, Jeannette Hurford, Richard Barry, Mil- ford Hatch, John Mixer, George Kariotis, and Clayton Collins. By a vote of the entire school the names of Betty Davis and Dick Barry were placed on the Henry Herbert Smythe Tablet of Honor for the year of 1940. Then, on Tuesday, May 21st, came Freak Day, one of the most humorous of all occasions that come to Seniors throughout their final year. Costumes ranged from an imitation of Hitler to an imitation of a Republican in a barrel. The Senior Prom, held on June 7th, at the Cape Codder Hotel, proved very interesting and indeed colorful. With little more to tell, I shall complete this History for the Class of 1940 by saying that although there may be many more enjoyable times yet to come in our young lives, I feel confident that none will surpass these three happy years we have spent together at Law- rence High. C € =■ LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Twenty-three Class Will Of 1940 George E IT FOREVER REMEMBERED that we, poor, harmless innocents of the Class of 1940, being torn away from the protective portals of Lawrence High and cast into the midst of this dark, cruel world, not knowing what dread fate awaits us on the morrow, do make this our last will, hereby revoking all former testaments by us at any time hereto- fore made. To the school as a whole, we leave the re- freshing memories of our awe-inspiring deeds, to spur all future seniors on to greater heights and to cause them to take a new hold on life. To the closely-cropped George Mixer, Bud” Davis leaves some of his hair. Zeke seems to be sadly lacking in this feature. Dick Barry and Win Hatch leave to any bored individual an up-to-date directory list- ing all the spots in the big town where one may pleasurably while away the time. One in particular is recommended. Stanley Slug” Burgess leaves his appropriate moniker to Allen Peterson. We wonder if this will turn Pete” into a rip-roarin ' , man-eatin ' , two-fisted Hercules. Becky” Cahoon leaves some of her shyness to Edna Cole. This certainly ought to have some effect. Bell-Ringer Morrill Saulnier leaves his duties to next year’s Quasimodo. We sincerely hope that he will be as efficient as our Kak”. To Gordon Parker, Bob Simmons graciously bequeaths his especially-constructed alarm clock. It’s guaranteed to awaken you at least fifteen minutes late. Elwyn Turner leaves his beautiful giggle to Mr. Marshall. We hope it is locked up in a vault so that it may never again harass man- kind. Bert Soderland, our lackadaisical playboy, leaves his size fifteen clod-hoppers to Allan Williams, who’ll have to go some to fill Bert’s shoes, in more than one way. Lanky” Soule leaves his quaint Southern accent to Carlo Pena. This combination should produce quite a hybrid. Mary Overy wills her melodious voice to Mr. Allen, so that he may at least h ave an ex- cuse for attempting to sing (?) between periods. Connie DeMello leaves her ability to wind through traffic and cut corners to any reckless daredevil of the Junior Class. To the patiently-waiting Junior girls, Erdine Flirt Collins and Melvina Crosby leave their Kariotis heart-broken Romeos. Cheer up, fellows, you can still run the moving picture machine. George Kariotis wills the care of the school lab to James Harding. We hope down deep in our hearts that Jim doesn ' t cost the school anywhere near as much as did his predecessor. Jill Williams and Pat Hendrie leave their ability to get around and see the world to Vir- ginia Rowe and Martha Vincent. To Mr. Marshall we leave the wholly un- pleasant duty of informing our beloved Sopho- mores that they can’t run the school after all. Jeannette Hurford, Roberta Jones, Angelina Kariotis, and Dorothy Frances, a quartet of very practical, hard-bitten business women, leave L. H. S. behind them as they prepare to face the elements of the professional world and ( who knows? ) snag some unsuspecting mil- lionaire employer. Jim Cavanaugh leaves his now famous Irish grin to Abie Cohen. Betty Davis, Charlotte McKenzie, Mary Lawrence and all the other senior Lawrencian Club members turn over their duties to the in- coming Lawrencianites. You’ve aided us in many ways, From you we’ve learned of angles, rays, Of cosines, volts, and C02, And always there was something new. A few of us will reach the top, But we ll never forget that you’re our Pop’.” Clayton Collins wills this lyric to one Mr. Kenneth C. Ballard. Lester Crane leaves his basketball hop, skip, and jump” to Hitler’s armies. We fear it will replace the famed goose-step. To the highly-esteemed Junior Class, our pride and joy, Jumpin’ Johnny Mixer, leaves a non-stuffable ballot-box and a carton of slugs to be used in the nickelodeon at next year’s prom. And last, as usual, Jimmy Wright leaves his athletic prowess to Chet Weeks. We doubt very much if the old alma mater will ever again come up with another such gem as James Thatcher Bowman. In the presence of the six witnesses we de- clare this to be our last will and testament this tenth day of June, in the year one thousand nine hundred and forty. (Signed) THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1940 As witnesses thereof we six affix our sig- natures.

Imagine meeting you in a dentist’s office!” Well, the dentist and the undertaker are the only two people you can’t dodge in this world. (Picks up newspaper). Our Class of 1940 seems to be getting in the papers lately, doesn’t it?” I hadn ' t noticed it, particularly. What ' s the news?” Look, there’s some right on the front page. (Hands over part of paper).” Why, yes.” SPORTS NEW WORLD’S RECORDS SET IN WOMEN’S TRACK COMPETITION Boston, Feb. 14, 1950. Rebecca Cahoon breaks pole vault record with leap of three feet three inches. Constance DeMello dashes 100 yards to set new mark of 30 seconds. Shirley Barrows broad jumps to new record of four feet. Boys — Mary Lawrence however, when she found that she had sewed a pair of scissors inside of Lila Haram. FALMOUTH WOMAN FALLS DOWN STAIRS Miss Anne Burgess fell down stairs at her home yesterday. She landed on her head at the bottom. Damage to the stairs amounted to about $25. QUICK THINKING FOILS DEATH AND SAVES VALUABLE PROPERTY Miss Beatrice DeManche was walking along Shore Street the other day when she heard a shout. Looking up, she was surprised to see a heavy chair bustling down from above. Quick as a flash she threw her umbrella at it. Luckily the handle caught on a rung and the chair parachuted safely to earth. Hope Cheverie, who had been doing her spring cleaning six floors up had accidentally knocked it out of the win- dow with her elbow. NEWS Miss Erdine Collins, now head nurse at the General Hospital, owes her success to early ex- perience when she used to take care of her grandmother. A number of the telephone operators at the Falmouth switchboard were interviewed last week. Miss Georgina Bonito, one of the girls at whom questions were fired, says that the summer rush has already started and that she is so busy, that she can’t Turn’er round. Blanche Hall , who is now teaching English in Hatchville High, says that Mr. Allen, her jolly instructor back in Lawrence High, in- spired her and led her to choose her present career. The new employment bureau started by Miss Isabelle Rose seems to be working very well. Proof of this is the satisfaction expressed by those who do business there. One of the latter, Mrs. Angelina K. Whittemore, says she put on some excess poundage after engaging a Chinese cook, Wun Long Choo. (Somebody ought to tell her about Ry-Krunch, the new non-fattening food discovered by Pauline Hicks, the dietitian, whose column appears daily in this paper.) Mary Laivrence, a nurse at one of Falmouth’s larger hospitals, has earned quite a reputation for her needlework. She was considerably em- barrassed the other day after an appendectomy, Miss Irene Figuerido, who returned yesterday from a week’s stay in the quaint little village of Woods Hole, says that in all her travels she has never spent a more enjoyable week. Al- though it took two days to find the place, she was not sorry. One of the points of interest which she visited was Margaret Silva’s Seafood Snackery, where she enjoyed a delicious dish of home-cooked whistleberries. GIRLS’ SCHOOL HOLDS OPEN HOUSE The doors of Quissett School for Girls were thrown open for the day yesterday and several of the classes were postponed. Miss Mary Haskins, dean of the institution, announced that there seems to have been a slight mis- understanding between a couple of skunks that had somehow got into the basement and the odor had permeated the whole of the first floor. An automobile driven by Miss Gabrielle Bettencourt, of 45,439 Hewins Street, skidde 1 on the wet pavement in West Falmouth last night and got out of control. It clipped off a fire hydrant, three telephone poles and a mail box, nosed thru a stone wall, plowed a field, jumped a wooden fence, and turned over twice before it finally came to rest against a lady’s slipper. Damage to the car was slight and the driver escaped minus her left eyebrow. Twenty-six NEW TYPING RECORD FOR FALMOUTH SET Miss Irene Norris, typing an average of 1 133-57 words per minute, shattered the old record of 1133.56, held by Miss Cecelia Dutra. Miss Norris used a water-cooled Lightning machine. It is queer how one’s job affects him mental- ly and physically. Miss Mary Overy, who works in a candy factory, says that even at the end of the first week she gained perceptibly in weight. She was forced recently to move to a house where the doors are wider. Gertrude Marks was finally compelled to buy a new car, after her old jalopy breathed its last wheeze. It seems that someone placed an auto bomb in it. As soon as she connected the wires that she uses for a starter, a loud scream issued forth from under the hood, fol- lowed by a huge cloud of smoke. An explosion climaxed the drama, but the — er — car couldn’t take it. The radiator cap shot up and the en- gine settled heavily to earth. SOCIETY Gillian Williams had her coming-out this afternoon. At half-past five she came out of Sampson’s Shop, where she models. Helett Lumbert was voted in the Gallup Poll the most distracting mermaid on the New England Coast. At Miss Martha Sturges’s farewell party a press correspondent noticed that instead of 20 admirers, only a dozen were nresent. FASHIONS Melvina Crosby, interior decorator, an- nounces new color schemes for interiors. The new shades of bright red, purple, and green, she writes, will be more restful to the eyes. Patricia Hendrie, now more interested in Art than ever, has recently turned out a flock of women’s hats even goofier than the old ones. AMUSEMENTS At the Met Jeannette Harford supporting the supporting role to the supporting role to the leading lady in Frost.” ADVERTISEMENTS New Process! Piano De-Mothing! A few tunes played on your moth-infested piano by Miss Roberta Jones, proprietor, completely rid; it of the pests. By the way, Miss Jones gave a THE LA WRENCIAN — 1940 demonstration of her new process recently. Under her magic touch the moths were driven right out of the piano. Charlotte McKenzie, librarian at Cuttyhunk, the garden spot of New England, has recently completed a new novel, increasing the number ol books in that library to 15. SPORTS Jim Wright, the All-American quarterback lrom Syracuse, has at last decided that he has been in school long enough and will, we hope, receive his diploma in June. Harold Baker has just been signed as chief ball shacker for the Brooklyn Dodgers. The schedu ' ed bout between Richard Sleepy” Breivogel and Lewis Knockout” Marks came to a successful conclusion after the first half round when Lewis knocked himself out on the ring post and Richard fell asleep waiting for the gong. In one of the most exciting golf matches in years. Francis Lewis defeated Julio Perry, the champion of Cape Cod, whose average score is 19- Francis made the 18 holes in 15 shots. Julio became stuck in a sand trap and in at- tempting to get out moved the trap 200 feet further from the hole. The most amazing event in the sports world was the feat of Inman Soule, who swam the Coonamessett River in four hours and three seconds. Elwyn Turner has been appointed coach of softball at Sargent College of Physical Edu- cation. FLASHES It has just been reported from the Fiji Islands that Bill Hewins of the U. S. S. Violet and Charles Turner of the U. S. S. Lily have deserted and are being hunted in the depths of the Amazon -infested woods. It has been announced that Frank Mello of East Falmouth has been awarded the Stuffing Trophy for the finest piece at the National Taxidermists’ Convention for his common three inch mouse. Morrill Saulnier has been promoted from chief mechanic at La Guardia Field to efficiency man at the Falmouth Municipal Airport, pro- vided that he can keep out of the Bryers. George Kariotis has become so brilliant from his past ten years of study that when the lights failed the other night they used him for electricity. LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Twenty-seven Wesley Bourne’s high ambition has taken him to the greatest of heights. Mr. Bourne is champion flag pole sitter of Punkville County. A capacity crowd of fifteen heard Prof. John Mixer, Ph.D., B.S., A.B., and plain Bachelor speak from the Conant soap box at Harvard last night on the subject, Why I Comb My Hair”. Robert Walden has been appointed chief radio operator on the Swan Boats in Boston Garden. No word has yet been received at the Uni- versity of California of Robert Simmons, who left L. H. S. ten years ago to pursue higher education at this famous institution. Well, Robert always has been late! GOSSIP Richard Barry, small town boy, who has made good as the leader of the War Eagles, will once more make good, we are sure, when an engagement, not of the orchestra, but him- self is announced next week, to the first of the red hot” daughters, Betty Davis. Warren Davis, who is in Honolulu with the U. S. Naval Air Corps, is still longing for heaven and the Lord. Albert Soderland ' s beautiful skin has won him second prize in the Woods Hole Beauty Contest. Milford Hatch has become so Dizzy lately that he has been placed in an institution under the matronly guidance of Dorothy Frances. Everett Dunham, the gravel-throated night- ingale of the airways, has been signed for a new picture, The Singing Crow”. Stanley Burgess, who has become a successor to James Montgomery Flagg, has gone west” and has found that there i s a certain something in Hollywood that is as yet lacking on Cape Cod. All you feminine fans of the great trumpet- er, Paul Blanchard, will have to slow down your hearts and stop lying awake nights dream ing over him because a certain little brunette still has him in her clutches. Arthur Vieira, that tall, dark and handsome Romeo of the Cape Cod stage, screen, and radio, will appear in person at his home town next. The recent report of the death of Fred Shur- bert is untrue. It has been discovered that he gave this report himself to escape the clutches of a few of his many girl friends. NEWS Rev. James Cavanaugh has been named speaker of the month for the Woods Hole Sewing Circle. Oh, Clayton, here’s one about you.” Clayton Collins has joined the crew of the ice patrol boat General Greene, in order to pursue the Bergs next summer. Philip Norris has hauled so many boats in a certain boatyard on Falmouth Harbor that we fear he is suffering a serious case of hauli- tosis”. A new book, entitled How to Become Rich in One Easy Lesson or Marry A Rich Girl , lias just been written by Lester Crane. Robert Johnson, the famous hunter, has killed two gorillas in the wildest part of New York. Lawrence Farias, who has become the mighty successor to Hitler, after having taken Tea- ticket, has now turned his Blitzkrieg toward East Falmouth. Mr. Farias’s implements of war include a Model A Ford and a certain way with the ladies. Antone Moniz, the famous experimental flor- ist, has scored again. He has raised a new variety of skunk cabbage. Reuben Servis was fined 50 cents in Fal- mouth Court today for talking so much he disturbed the peace. Manuel Tavares has been awarded the prize for the most dangerous picture of the year for his photograph of a skunk in action. Well, Clayton, it looks as if the Class of 1940 is the only important thing in town this week, but I guess it’s my turn to go in now. So long!” So-long. I guess I’ll come back later.” L. H. S.

It was Freak Day. America’s (or at least L. H. S.’s) outstand- ing politicians — the Republican Mr. Barry, within a barrel; the Democratic Mr. Hatch, resplendent in tails and topper; and Commun- istic Mr. Wright, with derby and red flag of U. S. S. R. — campaigned all over the place fol- lowed by a German speaking, at-times-quite- timid Herr Hitler, Mr. Simmons. The sharpshooting Cactus Jack Mixer competed with Sheriff Farias for western supremacy. They both made plenty of noise — Jack with his cap pistols and the unsuspecting Sheriff with a smoke bomb”, his jalopy. Grandpa” was missing but Miss America had quite a time with her high-flying which would surely have charmed his eye. From Shanghai (or thereabouts) came Clay- ton Fu Manchu” Collins — pigtail and all. That glamour girl” Charlie Turner and George Oomph” Kariotis were quite lovely in their latest gowns. Sometimes we didn’t know what to do. One Mr. Marshall said to do one thing while an- other told us to do the very opposite. Connie, you should be principal oftener. This was most confusing — two Mr. Bal- lards — Betty, brief case and stride, and the real Pop”. Yes, Freak Day is the one day in the year when you can get away with a few things. Farewell O LAWRENCE HIGH, O farewell! The trine of years spent here, and so well, Farewell! farewell, O so well, The last was not the least And the least was not the last, But the years at Lawrence High School Are forever past! Farewell! We’ve made our bid For immortality And left the stamp Of our personality. Farewell! From the halls of Montezuma To the shores of Tripoli There is not a class of people As intelligent as we. Farewell! We cannot but admit it — We cannot tell a lie; And we owe it to all Falmouth And to good old Lawrence High! Farewell! We take remembrance of the past, Of happy days forever gone, And departing leave behind us Footprints in the muddy lawn. Farewell!

Senior Graduation Roberta T O keep up its reputation for originality to the end, the graduating class of 1940 has upset all preconceived ideas of graduation and has turned the entire program topsy-turvy. The result turns out to be something unique in the way of Commencement exercises, and a method which our class as a whole feels just a little proud of and one which we sincerely hope will be a success. The Senior activities are to extend over a period of three days — June 9, 10, and 11. The Baccalaureate services will be held this year at the Falmouth Congregational Church, with Reverend Long presiding. A change in color sc heme will be provided in the maroon- colored caps and gowns. On Monday a Class Day, to be attended by the Sophomore and Junior classes and parents of Seniors, if desirous, will be held. This is a new variation for L. H. S. The majority of the heretofore tiresome business of graduation will be held on that day, such as the Class Prophecy, Will, and History. Another novelty will be humorous gifts to be presented by the Sophomore and Junior classes, respectively, to the Senior Class. These gifts will be of a nature best representing the particular class. Seniors will wear caps and gowns, and the lower classes will appear in party” finery. Members of the two lower classes will wear their class colors which, to date, have not been decided upon. Roberta Jones will have charge Jones of the program, in which the following Honor Students will participate: Richard Barry, Clay- ton Collins, Betty Davis, Jeannette Hurford, George Kariotis, Mary Lawrence, and John Mixer. At the close of the program, the entire Senior Class will march out to plant a tree, with the idea of leaving something behind to future classes. The Class President, Milford Hatch, will make a speech, and the ceremony will close with the Hymn of Loyalty” by the entire assembly. The graduation exercises have, of necessity, been cut down, which will, we think, disap- point no one. The program will begin at 8 o’clock sharp, and all needless ceremony has been eliminated. Musical selections will be played by Richard Barry, the Senior Class Gift to the school will be presented by Charlotte McKenzie, and the Welcome and Farewell ad- dresses will be given by Milford Hatch, Class President. The benediction will be rendered by Father Boyd and the prayer by Rev. Nichol- son, and the guest speaker will be Fulton Oursler. The Senior Class will sing the L. H. S. Hymn of Loyalty” and the Class Ode, written by Roberta Jones and music supplied by Mr. Howard. Much time and energy have been expended on the plans for this different graduation, and we all hope that it will be so well received that a new custom will be started in L. H. S., to remind you of the Class of 1940.

It is a fine maxim but will it hold true? We are entering into some- thing far different from what we have experi- enced before. There can be no more lenient teachers, no more second chances — we, and we alone are now controlling our lives. For the most part, the world has no place for those who must have someone to run their lives for them. Unfortunately a few of us must change somewhat to meet this new demand, but we must not be discouraged if at first things go wrong. Instead, we must cling to our ideals of Loyalty, Honor, and Service. Then we will be capable of expanding to meet an increasing- ly difficult situation. In these turbulent times, we must wonder what kind of world we are to be part of in a few years. We have shown in the past an adaptability to new things and an ability to work. In short, we have the raw material. Let’s go forth to make ourselves the leaders of tomorrow in the kind of world we want. We can do it! It is with these serious thoughts in mind that we, the Class of 1940, bid farewell to our teachers and friends at Lawrence High. Quo Vadis ? Muriel Gediman, Associate Editor Today we follow, tomorrow we lead.” This fitting motto chosen by the 1940 graduating class shows us the true significance of gradua- tion. Up to now these sixty-seven graduates have been followers. Their school hours have been definite; their curriculum has been largely arranged by others; in fact the greater part of their daily existence has been arranged for them. Graduation changes all this. Today has be- come yesterday and tomorrow is today. These sixty-seven students are no longer followers — they are now leaders. Whatever plans are made, they must make themselves. As it has been said that one learns to be a leader by being led, we hope that their twelve years’ schooling has fitted them to be leaders, so that each one can carve for himself his own niche in this world. It is with mingled pleasure and regret that L. H. S. bids goodbye and good luck to the Class of 1940 — yesterday’s followers — today’s leaders.

Their one social event of the season was a highly successful Leap Year Dance held in the Gym on May 18. The Social Committee in charge — Muriel Gediman, Vir- ginia Rowe, Patty Berg, Priscilla Lord, Carle- ton Collins — decorated the gym, a Night Club, using the Mexican motif in a most artistic way. Besides the attractive decorations, they provid- ed an excellent program of entertainment. In- cluded in this program were solo dances by Barbara Brown and Carolyn Solberg. Finan- cially the dance was also a substantial success. Chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Gardner Handy, Miss Marjorie Brooks, and Miss Kathleen Arenovski. The Junior Class was also represented in the Sportsmanship Brotherhood this year by George Mixer, Allen Peterson, Muriel Gediman, and Virginia Rowe. Five new ’41 members were added in June. After much difficulty, the Class of ’41 finally elected the following officers for their Senior Year: President, Muriel Gediman; Vice-Presi- dent, Richard Hewins; Secretary, Gertrude At- kinson; Treasurer, Carleton Collins, who was chosen Class Marshal by the Class of ’40.

Sportmanship Richard O N July 9, 1939, ten members of the Class of ' 40 and four members of the Class of ’41 were accepted for membership in the Sportsmanship Brotherhood. These new mem- bers were: Secretary, Betty Davis, Constance DeMello, Charlotte McKenzie, Jeannette Hur- ford, Rebecca Cahoon, Milford Hatch, Robert Simmons, George Kariotis, James Wright, and President, Richard Barry of the Class of ’40; and Muriel Gediman, Virginia Rowe, George Mixer, and Allen Peterson of the Class of ’41. President Joseph Miskell of the Class of ’39 initiated us at a school assembly, and the fol- lowing week we attended the annual Sports- manship Brotherhood Banquet at the Crescent Arms Hotel. Brotherhood Barry The following September we became Seniors and the active members of the Brotherhood. We started the Brotherhood Candy Counter, and, on December 1, we feted the football team in a Victory Dance. At Christmas, we presented baskets to four needy families. After football season, we presented silver footballs to the lettermen in esteem of their fine record and sportsmanship. On June 7, 1940, after careful consideration, five new members of the Class of ’41 — Eunice MacDougall, Patty Berg, Gertrude Atkinson, Carleton Collins, and James Harding — were accepted and initiated into the Sportsmanship Brotherhood to carry on the work next year.

Football Squad Richard Barry FOOTBALL RESUME U PSETTING all predictions, the L. H. S. football team won six games, lost two, and tied one, to win the mythical Cape Champion- ship for the fifth straight year. Boasting only three returning veterans, the team shaped up remarkably well, and climaxed a successful sea- son with a bruising 14-6 triumph over rival Barnstable. Though only one line veteran, Co- Capt. Mixer, and four backs, Co-Capt. Corey, Lino, Greene, and Pena return next year, the Crimson Tide should again sweep the Cape for the sixth straight year.

L. H. S. Girls ' Basketball Team Charlotte McKenzie - Constance DeMello BASKETBALL RESUME 1TH five victories and four defeats chalked up, the 1940 L. H. S. Girls’ Basketball Team leaves behind an excellent re- cord. All of their games, whether won or lost, not only were very closely contested, but also showed the outstanding work of the zone guards and the steady improvement of the for- wards ' basket shooting. Though their star for- ward, Connie DeMello, was lost to them for most of the games, the team kept up their fine spirit. By graduation, the team loses not only Connie DeMello, but Shrimp” McKenzie, Dot Frances, Shirley Barrows, and Babe Overy, forwards; and Rebecca Cahoon, Gill Williams, guards. Jean Hall, forward, and Gete Lumbert, guard, are the only two remain ing first-stringers around which next year ' s nucleus will be built. However, other members of a fairly competent 1940 second team should continue the good record made by this year ' s team. SCORING Pts. Games Av. C. McKenzie 81 9 9 C. DeMello 48 7 7 D.

Boys ' Basketball Team Richard Barry BASKETBALL RESUME I N their third successful season in a row, the L. H. S. basketball team, boasting only one veteran, Capt. Jim Wright, won eleven games and lost only five. After opening the season with seven wins in a row, they suffered a reversal of form, and won only three out of their last nine games. However, the Crimson were outclassed only once, that being by Abing- ton, the Brockton Tournament winners. Wright and Hatch tallied about 400 points between them to lead the scoring, while Baker, Davis, Collins, Crane, and Barry ably supported them. Though all seven first-stringers graduate, next year’s quintet should do fully as well. BASKETBALL SCORING Games Fields Fouls Pts.

Baseball Team opened their season by defeating Sandwich 6-5 at the Heights diamond. The Crimson were never headed after taking a 4-1 lead with a three-run lead in the second inning. Veteran Hal Kaipainen allowed the Crimson only five hits, but his mates made five miscues. YARMOUTH WALLOPS CRIMSON, 9-2 Unleashing a 16 hit attack on ineffective L. H. S. hurling, Yarmouth buried the Crimson 9-2 behind the effective seven hit pitching of Kendrick. Neither Cavanaugh, Stewart, nor Alberts could stop the Yarmouth attack which countered three times in the fourth and four times in the fifth inning. Dauphinais had four hits, and Sprague had three for Yarmouth. L. H. S. TAKES TEN INNING GAME FROM TABOR Paced by Gordon Green’s titanic homer in the eighth inning, the L. H. S. Crimson topped Tabor Academy 8-7, in ten innings. Green, in addition to his homer, scored four times, in- cluding the winning tally. Davis started for L. H. S. and, though very effective, was wild and required relief by Stewart. FULLERMEN SWAMPED BY BARNSTABLE 14-1 Scoring six runs in both the second and sev- enth innings, Barnstable blasted three Crimson hurlers, Alberts, Marks, and Stewart, to regis- ter an easy victory over L. H. S. Frank Marks paced the Crimson with two hits, while Drew garnered a triple and two singles for Barnstable. BOURNE TROUNCES CRIMSON Overcoming an early L. H. S. lead, Bourne defeated L. H. S. in a slugfest, 18-11. Davis opened on the mound for the Fullermen, but gave way in the later tumultuous stages to Stewart and then Cavanaugh. Cunningham opened for Bourne but was ineffective, being replaced by Rube Young, who baffled the Crimson for the rest of the game. Allietta led the Bourne attack with a homer. L. H. S. LOSES IN ELEVENTH, 3-2 With a single by pinchhitter Wentworth in the 11th canto breaking a 2-2 deadlock, the L. H. S. Baseball Team dropped a heartbreaking 3-2 decision to Wareham. Stewart and Alberts combined to toss a six-hit job at Wareham, while fanning ten batters. However, Wareham bunched three of their hits in the sixth in- ning for two runs, and two more with a walk and a miscue for the game-winning marker. Alberts topped the Crimson batting attack with two bingles. CRIMSON BOW TO PROVINCETOWN 4-2 Stopped by the four hit pitching of Francis, the L. H. S. Crimson bowed to Provincetown, 4-2, for their third straight defeat. Eleven Crimsonites fanned, as only Frank Marks and Pena, with two hits apiece, could solve his de- livery. Stewart pitched creditable nine hit ball, but his mates failed to hit behind him. BASEBALL SQUAD Members of the L. H. S.

Then in a return match with Yarmouth at the Barnstable Courts, Falmouth won a 3-2 match because of the victories of both doubles teams. The team finishes its schedule the week of June 3 by playing two matches with Barnstable High School. The singles players are Jim Wright, George Mixer, and John Mixer. David Whittemore and Carleton Collins make up one doubles team, while the other team consists of George and John Mixer.

Golf Team, though they failed to score a victory, showed steady improvement and good sportsmanlike persistence throughout the season. Despite the fact that they were swamped by Dartmouth, last year ' s champions, New Bedford, Vocational, Brockton, and Barn- stable, in their last three return games they played better golf and lost very closely contest- ed games. Members of the team include Francis Lewis, Julio Perry, Everett Dunham, Harold Baker, Lester Crane, Manager, Richard Alberts, Nor- man Eldridge, Stephen Mclnnis, substitute, and John Lawrence, substitute, all working under direction of Mr. Allen as coach.
