LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Twenty-three Class History Virginia Rowe Should you ask me, whence these stones? Whence these legends and traditions, With the odors of sea shore, With the fog and damp of marshes, With the rise and ebb of tides, With the whispering sea breezes, With their frequent repetitions, And their wild reverberations. As of thunder in the mountains? I should answer, I should tell you — ” T HE Class of ’41 entered Lawrence High School with the same hopes and fears and plans of the many classes which had gone be- fore them. With proud heads held high and eager youthful eyes wide to the mysteries of higher education which surrounded the nine- ty-two classmates, they began their three year journey which was to contribute many happy hours and pleasant memories to their calendar of life. During the first days of our life in L. H. S we elected officers for the rest of the year. Earle Chamberlain was elected President; George Mixer, Vice-President; David Cassick, Secre- tary; and Carleton Collins, Treasurer. Throughout the year we had many represen- tatives on the school teams. Among these were: John Corey, Carlo Pena, Buzzy Collins, and ' Abie” Cohen of the football squad. George Mixer, Buzzy” Collins, Abie” Cohen, John Corey, Carlo Pena, and David Cassick made the boys’ basketball team, while Mary Turner, Norma Peterson, Martha Vincent, Jean Hall and Margaret Carlson made the girls’ squad. Members who joined the Lawrencian staff included Muriel Gediman, Shirley Landers, Priscilla Hildreth, Virginia Rowe, Carol Bar- rows, Patty Berg, Gertrude Atkinson, and Rich- aid Hewins. Norma Peterson, Edna Cole, Virginia Rowe, Priscilla Hildreth, and Muriel Gediman had minor parts in the school’s dramatic produc- tion, Hold Everything.” In the school orchestra, Muriel Gediman and Virginia Rotve represented their class. At the end of the year the class was honored b the Sportsmanship Brotherhood which elected four of our members to their mids , namely; Virginia Rowe, George Mixer, Allen Peterson, and Muriel Gediman. In 1939 we entered Lawrence High as Jun- iors. For class leaders we chose George Mixer and Donald MacQuarrie as President and Vice President respectively; Gertrude Atkinson a. Secretary, and Carleton Collins as Treasurer. George Mixer, David Cassick, Gordon Stew- art, Donald MacQuarrie, Chester Weeks, Har- old Marks, and David Whittemore were among those new names appearing on the gridiron lineup. At the close of the season. George Mixer and John Corey were elected as 1940 co- captains. Jean Hall, Muriel Gediman Martha Vincent, Patty Berg, Norma Peterson, Virginia Rowe, and Mary Fernandes played on the varsity girls hockey team. In June the names of five members of the class — Eunice MacDougall, Patty Berg, Ger- trude Atkinson, Carleton Collins, and fames Harding — were accepted and initiated into the Sportsmanship Brotherhood for the next year. Carol Barrows, Amelia Peters, and Jean Hall constituted the only Junior representatives on the girls’ basketball team; but George Mixer, John Corey, Harold Marks, Allan Williams, Carleton Collins, and Carlo Pena ably filled out the ranks of the boys’ squad. Before our Junior year had come to an end, we sponsored a very successful Spring Dance and chose our class officers for the following year. Muriel Gediman was elected President; Richard Hewins, Vice-President; Gertrude At- kinson, Secretary; and Carleton Collins, Treas- urer. Returning to Lawrence High in September as Seniors, we made many plans for the coming year. Among the results of this planning, we had as our first financial attempt. a three-act comedy, The Charm School,” produced by the Plymouth Players. From the funds raised by this venture we purchased a turn table which provided the music for our three dances as well as many assemblies. Alon with these in- formal dances we also sponsored a mid-Winter Hop and the Annual Senior Prom. Another financial venture in the form of a magician show — Bruce, The Magician also proved very successful Nancy Baker, Catherine Waters, Allan Wil- liams, lames Hardinv, Eunice MacDougall and Mura Booker joined the Senior Lawrencian Staff. Muriel Gediman was Editor-in-chief of the staff and as such she and Miss Arenovski journeyed to New York to attend the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Convention.
