Frank Marks, man- ufacturer and bottler of 1-Down, the new drink that will put you down, is bringing suit against Club 400 ’, owned by Lyle Long. Mr. Marks claims a new song entitled Up is better than Down”, introduced by John DeRose’s Frigid- aire Serenaders, who are featured at the club, has brought about a very decided drop in busi- ness. To involve matters further Miss Doro- thy Maceda, jazz-singer with the Serenaders, is engaged to Mr. Marks. Mr. Long has retained three reliable lawyers, Lewis, Lewis, and Lends. Clara is the most detective-minded and digs up the facts. Isabella is the secretary who takes the facts down. Sophia Lewis decides whether the facts are evidence.

Mrs. Lehy had the new wave set for the homecoming of her husband, Robert Lehy. who is manufacturer of bathing suits. Woods Hole! . . .

Twenty-two THE LA WRENCI AN — 1 942 bers included Patricia Brown, Jean Wagner, John Lawrence, Norman Eldridge, and Lyle Long. Ine class of ’41 elected Lyle Long to act as Class Marshal at Graduation. Elected to the Sportsmanship Brotherhood were Louise Brown, Patricia Brown, Ruth Bry- ers, Donald Graham, John Lawrence, and John DeRose. We closed our Junior year by electing Lyle Long, President; Jean Wagner, Vice-President; John DeRose, Secretary; and Bernard Cassidy, Treasurer, to lead us through our final year at Lawrence High. And so, in the fall of 1941 we entered Law- rence High School as Seniors! Our first money-making venture of our final year was a great success, for we realized more than twenty dollars on the comedy The Cur- tain Rises” presented by the Plymouth Play- ers. The football team captained by our own George Lino and backed up by Noggie Eld- ridge, Bernie Cassidy, Art Medeiros enjoyed a very successful year, winning five games out of seven played. George Lino was again elected to the All-Cape Team, and Norman Eldridge was also chosen. Marion Mohr and Marguerite Lumbert again cheered the boys on to victory. Three Seniors — George Lino, Norman Eldridge, and Arthur Medeiros — did outstanding work on the bas- ketball team. Norman Eldridge also made a good showing on the baseball diamond. The girls had two basketball teams. One led by Marguerite Lumbert and the other by Irene Wright. “Geet’s” Blue Team won the championship. Other Senior girls on the teams were Jeanne Prevost and Virginia Fernandes. The Harvest Dance sponsored by the Sen- iors early in the school year although it was no great financial success, certainly was a social success. Sports Night held March 29 in the Hall School gym netted some good hard cash for the Senior Treasury as the Seniors won the track events with fifteen points. Altho ugh the Juniors proved to be better than the Seniors in basketball, Lyle Long carried off the honors for the Seniors in the High Jump. In the Miss Lawrencian contest our Senior candidate, Janet Dwight, won the title with great ease. Later, in the Mr. Lawrencian” con- test Norman Eldridge placed second. Co-editors of the Lawrencian, Madalyn Hnth- away and Natalie Robertson, attended the Col- umbia Scholastic Press Association Conference at Columbia University with their adviser. Miss Arenovski. This year again the Lawrencian won the C.S.P.A. Medalist Award for excel- lence. Other members of the Lawrencian staff and Senior Yearbook are Jeanne Prevost, Jean Wagner, Evangeline Tollio, Ruth Bryers, Ber- nard Cassidy, Roland Baker, Marion Mohr, Warren Van Tol. To be their representative at the annual D.A.R. Convention held in Boston the Seniors cho„e Madalyn Hathaway. Antone Souza proved to be a credit to Mr. Robinson ' s teaching in the Eastern Massachu- setts Agricultural Contest. Journeying to Keene, N. H., John Lawrence represented the Senior Class and Lawrence High School in the New England Musical Fes- tival. Our class was destined to be a war class and four of us serve as air-raid wardens — Mad- alyn Hathaway, John Lawrence, Donald Gra- ham, and Roland Baker. Two of the Senior boys were awarded Cadet aircraftsman certi- ficates for their model planes constructed for use by the Navy. These were Norman Eldridge and Lawrence Palmer. Milton Servis was awarded an Ensign aircraftsman certificate for his successful completion of three planes. Because of the war the annual trip to Wash- ington was cancelled. Also because of the war Madalyn Hathaway and Norman Eldridge who were chosen by the students to have their names put on the Henry Herbert Smythe Roll of Honor have the distinction of having their names put on in wood instead of being cast in bronze. And we Seniors had no Prom! What with the gas rationing, the tire shortage and everything we decided to give it up and buy War Bonds for the school instead. We held our Class Banquet at Handy’s Inn the evening of June 4. Baccalaureate Service was held at the Meth- odist Church on June 7. Class Day was June 8! Our class colors were the traditional red and white and our flower was the red carnation. And so came June 9th! An eventful, im- portant, sad but joyous day in our young lives. We were graduated. Graduated from dear old Lawrence High School into a war-torn world, but we have our class motto Climb Though the Rocks Be Rugged” before us and ever in our hearts will live our memories of Lawrence High and the strains of We must leave thee, Lawrence High School Pledge we now our loyalty Hours we’ve spent within your portals Ever in our thoughts will be . . .” will keep us loyal to the end wherever we may be.
