LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Twenty-one Class History Patricia Holden, John Tsiknas A S we think back over the short span of three enjoyable years to 1941, it is inter- esting to note that we were the largest class to enter L.H.S. — 105 strong. Now we number but 65 graduating, with only 43 present to re- ceive their diplomas on account of this Second World War. Our first decisive step, and truly our debut, was in our election of officers to guide us on our first jaunt. Edna Warren was given the responsibility of leader; and able assistants were Richard Sample, Vice-President; Eugene Baker, Secretary; and Patricia Holden, Treasurer. Mr. Baker and Miss Follansbee were excellent as our class advisers and got us over our first hardships. We have always been a sports-minded class; and in the first fall, winter, and spring, many sophomores filled the ranks and formed a nu- cleus around which future teams were built. Well-known on all the Cape for their out- standing ability in sports were, and are, Ray Paltz, Richard Sample, Sam Cahoon, John Tsiknas, and Alvan Nickerson. Carrying on in L.H.S. by switching from the Broadcaster to the Lawrencian were: Eugene Baker, Durham Caldwell, Jean Barrows, Betty Jordan, John Tsiknas, John Powers, Maxine Holmes, Elmer Ross, Ray DePonte, John Bal- lard, Patricia Holden, Betty Sample, and Edna Warren. Many of these people were later to become prominent members on our school magazine staff. There were other outside interests to take up our young minds and spare time. Being socially minded, we held a ' Sweetheart Dance” during this year; also Durham Caldwell and Betty Sample had parts in the school play, a fast-moving comedy, Spring Dance”. Radio work seemed most popular that year with the coming of our own Cape Cod Station, and many took part in radio skits. Durham Caldwell, Luana Wirick, and Eu- gene Baker were outstanding in scholastic abil- ity- With the arrival of June came vacation, work, and the keen anticipation for more of high school! Returning in September, we once again chose new officers. Edna Warren held the of- fice of Presidency for a second term; and Nancy Cameron was Vice-President; Alvan Nickerson , Secretary; and John Ballard, Treasurer. With the return of such veterans as Ray Paltz, John Tsiknas, and Dick Sample, the var- sity football squad was molded. Holding first- string berths also were: Raleigh Costa, Sam Cahoon, Dennis Cruz, Steve Peters, and Peter Peterson. Worthy of mention for their work on the second team were: Donald Croft, Dur- ham Caldwell, Dale Holmes, Ellsworth Night- ingale, and Bud Higgins. Much honor was ac- credited to Ray Paltz, John Tsiknas, and Alvan Nickerson, who were chosen to be members of the All-Cape team, with Dick Sample also holding an honorable-mention position. Our boys chose Dick Sample as their next year’s football captain and made Ray Paltz their hon- orary captain. The cheerleaders, who had bol- stered our team’s morale, were: Edna Warren, Betty Sample, Janet Thayer, and Betty Jordan. The athletic enthusiasm of our class was well represented when fifteen of the junior boys turned out for basketball. Ray Paltz proved to be second highest scorer on the var- sity, with Peter Peterson and Paul Fish doing no injustice to the team. On the undefeated second team were Captain Sample, Alvan Nick- erson, and Sam Cahoon. Our starlets who played in the intramural games, were: Luana Wirick, Althea Illgen, Edna Warren, Adeline Fish, Betty Jordan, Betty Sample, Mollie Lehy, Barbara Mitchell, and Nancy Cameron. With the coming of spring, Dennis Cruz, Lawrence Rowe, Bill Thayer, Durham Caldwell, and Sam Cahoon did the honors for the class on the diamond. Even in this year we were constantly mak- ing plans for the year to come. To help fatten our bankroll, we gave a very successful Food Sale in November. To help swell our fund, too, we held two dances, the Barn Dance”, and the Victory Dance”. Found in the scholastic limelight were the honor students: Durham Caldwell, Patricia Holden, Jean Barrows, and Richard Strand. Those on the certificate list were: Betty Jordan, John Tsiknas, Robert Peterson and Nancy Cameron. Associate Editors Durham Caldwell, Jean Barrows, and Betty Jordan proved capable of filling their honored position and the Law- rencian proved to be a bigger and better mag- azine. Others on the staff were Pat Holden, Maxine Holmes, Luana Wirick, and Beverly Berg. Those on the Business Staff are often Twenty-two forgotten, but they truly are deserving of much praise. In this year the business staff included John Ballard, Betty Sample, Ray Paltz, and John Tsiknas. During this year the Lawrencian sponsored a contest to find a Mr. Lawrencian and a Miss Lawrencian”. As proof of his pop- ularity, Sam Cahoon easily captured the title of Mr. Lawrencian”; and Barbara Mitchell was close runner-up for Miss Lawrencian in an exciting contest. Sam Cahoon was elected Class Marshal for the graduating class of 1942. Beverly Berg, Jean Barrows, Lawrence Rowe, and John Ballard were given the honor of being chosen to the Sportsmanship Brotherhood in their junior year. Patricia Holden, Ray Paltz, John Tsiknas, and Robert Peterson were ac- cepted as members during their senior year. Representing their class off the Cape in that year were Patricia Holden, second-prize winner of the Legion Oratorical District Contest at Wareham, and John Tsiknas at the Musical Festival held at Keene, N. H. With the coming of June came the conclu- sion of another pleasant and exciting year. At that time we carefully elected our officials for our most important year coming. After deep consideration we chose the following: Presi- dent, Raymon Paltz; Vice-President, Sam Ca- hoon; Secretary, Patricia Holden; and Treas- urer, Richard Sample. With June also came the anticipations and glorious expectations of being a Senior! September came again for the third and last time, for we were now seniors. This year we welcomed new members to our ranks. The newcomers included: Betty McShane, Bob Ives, Jane Morley, Thomas Bay, Edward Dahlborg, Bill Knapp, Art and Bill Lucero, Bruce Miller, Robert Moriarty, Robert Noce, Joan Trudeau, and Leo Wilder. Under the threat of the transportation short- age, the prospects of interscholastic football were dimmed. Through efforts of the potential football team, chiefly seniors, a petition pre- sented to the school committee proved most effective in permitting the interscholastic foot- ball schedule to be carried out. Our team had a good foundation around such seniors as Cap- tain Sample, Nickerson, Tsiknas, Costa, Ca- hoon, Cruz, Peters, Peterson, all veterans. Do- ing the senior honors for the second team were Higgins, Nightingale, Caldwell, and Lucero. On account of an unfortunate acc ident received in practice. Cahoon was not able to finish out the last half of the season. As a reward for excellent sportsmanship and playing, John Tsiknas and Dick Sample captured berths on THE LA WRENCIAN— 1 943 the mythical All-Cape team. Edna Warren, Betty Sample, and Janet Thayer enthusiastically cheered their fellow-mates on to victory. With the close of the football season, there was an end to all interscholastic sports to follow because of the shortage of transportation and the scarcity of seniors. Approximately one year after Pearl Harbor, the draft age was lowered to eighteen, making us realize that war had struck us as a country and as a class. Never before in this country’s history had war so drastically affected seniors. Each day found our class smaller, for one sen- ior after another was taken into the war, either by enlistment or by drafting; and our plans were continually changing. Sam Cahoon was the first to go, and he was soon followed by Ray Paltz, Dick Sample, and Alvan Nickerson. Already our class was left to the leadership of one officer. The Services gained as we lost Lawrence Rowe, William Thayer, Carleton Wing, Robert Moriarty, Edward Wixon, Eu- gene Higgins, Jack Tavares, John Ballard, Peter Peterson, James Antonellis, Steven Peters, Ed- ward Dahlborg, Raymond DePonte, and Dale Holmes. Another outcome of the war was that this year instead of the usual three issues of the Lawrencian there were only two. In place of one of the issues, a series of mimeographed newspapers was substituted called the Lau- rence High-Lites. Durham Caldwell and Jean Barrows were in charge of all the issues, under the untiring supervision of Miss Kathleen Are- novski. Members of the staff included seniors Paul Waters, John Powers, Pat Holden, John Ballard, Beverly Berg, Maxine Holmes, Greta Garland, Robert Peterson, John Tsiknas, Lee Davis, Carleton Miller, and Ray Paltz. A high- light of the Lawrencian year was a trip to New York to represent the magazine at the C.S.P.A. convention held at Columbia University by Miss Arenovski, Durham Caldwell, Jean Bar- rows, Pat Holden, and John Tsiknas. As an effort to help the War Program, many of the senior boys collected enormous amounts of scrap under the very able direction of Bev- erly Berg, chairman of the scrap committee. An additional effort to add to the Scrap Pile and to our treasury 7 was made when we were host at the Scrap Dance, at which part of the admission fee was a piece of scrap. At the most important election of the year, Patricia Holden and Durhain Caldwell were chosen to have their names added to the Smythe Tablet. I Continued on Page 28) LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Twenty-three Class Prophecy Durham Caldwell (The time is May 18, 1968; the scene, the broadcasting studios of radio station WHIZ. Grouped around a microphone are Durham Caldwell, LeRoy Davis, and Lester Henry.) (CHIMES: Bong! Bong! Klunk! ) DAVIS: This is station WHIZ, Nye Road, Massachusetts, on the air twenty-seven hours a day, eight days a week, Republican Stand- ard Time. It is now exactly thirteen o’clock, B-U-L-O-V-A, Ben Rus watch time. And now we bring you a special news broadcast by that noted commentator, H. V. Gram Swing Caldwell. Mr. Caldwell! CALDWELL: Good evening, ladies and gen- tlemen! The voice you just heard was that of our ace announcer, LeRoy Davis, the man who set television back thirty years. And now to get on with our program: Today marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the graduation from Lawrence High School of the Class of 1943. As one of that illustrious group, I am extremely happy to be able tonight to bring you up-to-date on all its members. To begin with, seated be- side me are two well-known classmates, Mr. Davis, whom you were unfortunate enough to hear a moment ago, and that celebrated stooge and gagman (who ought to be gagged), the boy whose voice is killing mil- lions, Lester Henry ! (HENRY raises applause sign.) CALDWELL: And now the latest news of the Class of ’43! A bulletin just in from the War Depart- ment in Washington informs us of the as- tronomical rise and subsequent retirement from military service of that world-famous soldier James Antonellis. Jim. you’ll re- member, joined the Army twenty-five years ago as a buck private, determined to rise to the top. After reaching his goal several days ago, he was retired upon the special recom- mendation of the President with the per- manent rank of private, first class. Also from Washington, we learn that Rear Admiral Samuel Cahoon has been appointed head of the mathematics department at An- napolis. Nearer to home we find that Luana Wirick, who always wanted to be a private secretary, has finally landed a job — as secretary to drug-store tycoon, Lawrence Rowe, with the result that he sits in her lap while dictating. Bud’s rise in the business world has been phenomenal. Two years ago he took over his father’s small chain of four stores. To- day he has two Standard-Times routes and shines shoes on Saturdays. Maxine Holmes, most artistic member of the Class of ' 43, has just taken a new posi- tion, art director for the Burma-Shave Com- pany. Greta Garland also has an excellent art job. She draws the S” on Superman. Flash! Robert Peterson, the hamburger king, has developed a new-style meatball! We had hoped to have Bob Noce with us tonight; but, due to circumstances beyond our control, he was detained by Sheriff Gro- ver Bourne at Barnstable jail. The charge: bigamy. The women: Virginia Studley, the well-known poetess, and Edna Warren, woman lifeguard at the local bathing beach. And now a word from the sponsor of our program, the Un-American Tobacco Com- pany, makers of Weasel, the finer (?) cigar- ette. DAVIS: For your smoking pleasure, get Wea- sel cigarettes today. HENRY : Weasel cigarettes are made from the choicest blend of Turkish, domestic, and Am- erican tobaccos. DAVIS: Weasel cigarettes are queen-size, extra long to filter that sooty smoke! HENRY : Weasel cigarettes are packed in a special crush-proof package! DAVIS: Weasel cigarettes are also oval-shaped; so if they do get crushed, no one will know the difference. HENRY : Weasel nicotine has gone to war! DAVIS: Now back to Mr. Caldwell and the news! CALDWELL: Edward Dahlborg. as is well known, took his good looks to Hollywood several years back and blossomed into one of filmdom’s favorite leading men. His latest performance is playing the title role in Frankenstein, for the Thirteenth Time, Meets the Wolf Man.’’ The part of the Wolf Man is played by Richard Strand. Annette Augusta, after getting bored with selling candy in the Falmouth Theatre, also went to Hollywood. Now she is selling Twenty-four candy in the movie capital’s Empire Thea- tre, which is managed by that great show- man, Edward (Three-Ring) Wixon. Another working girl who became dis- satisfied wdth her position is Norma Corne- lius. Norma, however, used a different tech- nique. When she got tired of slaving behind the counter of the local five-and-ten, she merely w ' ent to see Mr. Newberry. Result: J. J. Cornelius and Company. From Mashpee we learn that Lucinda Hicks has been elected as that community’s first woman selectman. She succeeds the famed Steven Peters, w ' ho is settling down to the life of a gentleman farmer in order to devote his full time to raising cane. A special symphonic concert will be given in the Quissett Opera House next week by Pete Peterson and his people-can’t-get-apart- ments-because- we’ve -got-all-the-flats orches- tra. Maestro Peterson is expected to play several selections from the works of the emi- nent temporary composer, John Powers, in- cluding excerpts from the famous Grand Avenue Suite”, known familiarly as the Short-Cut to Falmouth Heights”. While on the subject of music, it is in- teresting to note that Emma Medeiros has just won a damage suit from Dorothy Re- zendes and her makes-ya-wanta-go-home band. The damage? To Emma’s eardrums. Now a message from our sponsor, the makers of Weasel cigarettes: DAVIS: Get Weasel, the finer cigarette, today! HENRY: Weasel cigarettes are not only toasted, but also parboiled! DAVIS: They satisfy (some people). HENRY : Something new has been added to Weasel cigarettes: a six-cent excise tax! DAVIS: With men who know ' tobacco best, it’s Weasels, double or nothing! HENRY: Now back to Raymond Gram Cald- well and the new ' s! CALDWELL: We have just received w ' ord from our female Winchell, Miss Mary Sloat, that Lawrence Perry, climaxing twenty-six years of steady courtship, has finally gained Florence Neal’s consent to marriage. While on the subject of marriage, we are reminded that the former Miss Patricia Holden has recently taken as her fifth hus- band one Raymon Paltz. For reasons of se- curity (my security) names of the other four victims w ' ill not be mentioned. Ray, inci- dentally, once w r on second prize in a w ' orld w ' ide tail-tale contest. First honors, of course, THE LAWRENCIAN— 1943 went to the author of the Japanese naval communiques. Margaret Cassidy, after all these years, is still wowing ’em along the Gay White Way. Her most popular number is There’ll Al- ways Be an England”. Also in the entertainment world, we look with pride upon the achievements of that favorite comedy team of stage, screen, radio, and Morse Code, Carleton Miller and Eugene Higgins, who are now appearing in person and the R.K.O., West Falmouth. Next Thursday they w ' ill begin a limited engage- ment at Little Dan’s, the w ' ell-known night club managed by Stella Hicks on the Mash- pee Turnpike. Currently starring at the club is blues-singer Mabel Corey. The noted author, Raymond DePonte, has just finished another novel. This one is en- titled Murder at the Race Track”, or Por- terhorse Steak for Dinner Tonight”. The book has received favorable comment from the number-one literary critic of the day, Atina Fernandes, and thus seems assured of a good sale. A quick peek at the sports picture shows that the women ' s heavyweight wrestling champion, Miss Jean Barrows, will defend her title Friday night in the Fresh Pond Arena against a very promising challenger, Molly (the Mauler) Lehy. According to betting commissioner Warren Nickerson, the odds are that Miss Barrows, better known by her professional name, Big Bertha, will keep her crown. Also on the sports scene: a special mes- senger from upper Gifford Street repons that local boy Dennis Cruz, for the sixth year running, has captured first place in the all- Teaticket marble-shooting contest. Raleigh Costa came in a poor second, due largely to his unwillingness to shoot anything but square, spotted marbles. Now a few words from our sponsor, the Un-American Tobacco Company, makers of Weasel cigarettes. HENRY : Ladies and gentlemen, Weasel cigar- ettes are acknowledged by leading medical journals as the only brand which definitely cures all throat-soreness due to excess smok- ing! DAVIS: No other cough medicine can make this statement! HENRY : Remember, for every song Lee Davis sings on this program, a quarter of a million Weasels free are fed the Japs below the sea. LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL DAVIS: No ration points are necessary to pur- chase Weasel cigarettes. Get them today! HENRY: Now Professor Caldwell and the news! CALDWELL: Donald Croft, the only inmate ever to escape from Alcatraz alive, was re- warded for his feat with the appointment as warden of his old home. He writes that the prisoners on the Rock have a very fitting theme song: As Time Goes By”. Bill Knapp, upon completion of his course at Georgia Tech, returned to Cape Cod to pursue glamour girl fanet Thayer and a career as a successful engineer. Among Bill ' s engineering masterpieces are the suspension bridge over the local herring run and the new culvert under Route 28 in Teaticket. Another success story is that of ]ohn Bal- lard, inventor of the cheap-jeep with the steel-wheel, swing-wing, and boat-float: the first practical four-way vehicle, running on land, in the air, and on or under the surface of the water. (For a slight extra charge it squeezes oranges and mashes potatoes. ) A less happy tale is that of Dale Holmes. who amassed a fortune as manufacturer of Holmes’s Hotsy-Totsy Helicopters, only to lose everything with the advent of Bill Thayer’s rocket ships. Beverly Berg, who was so popular with the Navy that she was drafted into the WAVES, is still an old maid. She had a sweetheart in every port and couldn’t choose among them. Patricia Tollio and Betty Sample run their own quiz show over this station every Fri- day night. Their theme song: I ' ve Heard that Gong Before”. Only person to win the sixty-four dollar question so far has been Joan Trudeau. Her question: Who was Adolf Hitler?” Fire Chief Alvan Nickerson nearly burst a blood vessel yesterday morning when he was stopoed for speeding bv that fearless motorcycle policeman. Jack Tavaret. Jack. according to our on-the-soot reporter, Bob Moriartv. aggravated the situation by asking Nicky if he was going to a fire. Had it not been for the timelv interference of two ath- letic bystanders, Althea lllgen and Adeline Fish, there is no telling what might have happened. John Tsiknas. who could never finish a crossword puzzle by himself, finally Twenty-five teamed up with quiz-kid Paul Waters. To- gether they form the championship cross- word puzzle combination of Southeastern Massachusetts. Now a final, I hope, message from our sponsor. Incidentally, the opinions expressed in the following commercial are those of the sponsor and in no way reflect the views of anyone else. Mr. Davis! DAVIS: Ladies and gentlemen, I have but five words to tell you: Weasels are America ' s finest cigarettes. HENRY: This does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of our product by the War Department as that department does not en- dorse any products except dead Japs and Nazis. DAVIS: Well, ladies and gentlemen, our time is almost up; we’d like to give you some more: so we will. We now take great pleas- ure in presenting the person we know you didn ' t expect to meet: Durham Caldwell with more news. CALDWELL: Here is a human-interest story for you. When Dick Sample assumed the job of head football coach at L.H.S. several years ago, he vowed he’d never shave till his charges had beaten Barnstable on the gridiron. At the present moment Young Gov is searching for something to keep the moths out of his beard. Jeanette Bowman and Annie Grew have succeeded Irene Rich in the Rye-Krisp ads and gone her one better. These girls are so thin that both of them must appear together in order to convince the public they’re there. Carleton Wing, who spent twenty years in the Navy, gaining the reputation as the toughest C.P.O. in the service, finally tied a knot with Grace Kenerson and settled down ashore. After a few months of married life, the couple went to Margaret Simons and her good-will court for advice. As a result, Win%y applied for re-enlis tment, Grace ap- plied for alimony, and I’m applying for a motorcycle to get out of here quick. DAVIS: You have just been listening to the Voice of Horror ”. I mean this is LeRoy Davis, speaking for Durham Caldwell, Les- ter Henry, and the Class of 1943. HENRY: This is station WHIZ, signing off for good. ( Do you blame us? ) Twenty-six THE LAWRENCIAN— 1943 Class Gifts Boys — Virginia Studley James Antonellis — Yes, Jimmy, this is a dictionary. We know that you always use the $5.00 words; and in case you should come across one you can say, but not spell, this pocket dictionary will come in handy. Annette Augusta — Annette, we know how much you miss Puerto Rico, but perhaps this cocoanut will give you pleasant mem- ories. John Ballard — Johnnie, now you’re in the Coast Guard, we want to be sure you stay afloat. Perhaps these Lifesavers will help in any emergency. Jean Barrows — Jean, we know you have wondered how to move faster; so in order that you may learn how, we give you this book of Superman. Beverly Berg — Bev, we know you like to dance, but we don’t want you to dance your legs off; so here’s something to keep them on with — some adhesive tape. Grover Bourne — We have for you, Grover, a bottle of peroxide. In case your hair starts to lose its golden shine, it might help a lit- tle to use some of this. Jeanette Bowman — Jeanette, your nails are so long, were afraid they might get caught in your typewriter. Maybe this file will keep them under control. Sammy Cahoon — Sammy, we think we re- member that your pictures were taken with a pipe in your hand. Also, we heard that the pipe was empty. So for the next time we have gotten you some tobacco. OK? Durham Caldwell — Writing stories, sports, and editorials for the Lawrencian has always been down your alley, Durham; but writing to a girl in New York is something new. We have for you a little bit of writing paper in case you should run short. Margaret Cassidy — Maggie, your voice is stupendous, and to keep you from oversing- ing, we’d like to give you these cough drops. Mabel Corey — Mabel, we know you want to be a dietitian. To keep you from making mistakes, we give you this cook book. Norma Cornelius — Norma, we know how embarrassed you get when you blush, but we think this powder will help the situation. Girls — John Powers Raleigh Costa — We all know you are inter- ested in Boy Scouts and in drumming, so we give you this small boy scout to play with when you don’t go to the Scout meetings. Donald Croft — Grumpy, this piece of wire should always keep you in mind of a certain someone, especially because it is Barb — ed! Dennis Cruz — Denny, you always Cruz’ around in such a good-natured way, we’d like to present you with this boat, so you’ll continue to be the same. Edward Dahlborg — Eddie, perhaps this ring will give you a hint to settle down and give the other fellows a chance with the girls. LeRoy Davis — Lee, you used to go around machine-gunning your classmates with a ruler. Even though you will enter Dan- mouth College, we think you still need a ruler. Raymond DePonte — Ray, we realize that you must have a nostalgic feeling when you remember Ten Acre; so to let you know were thinking of you, here’s a Ten Acre order blank. Adeline Fish — Adeline, you plan to work in a bakery, and to save you embarrassing moments we give you these yeast cakes to make sure the bread will rise. Greta Garland — Greta, dress-designing is a fine ambition, and we believe this tape measure will keep all matters and hems straight. Annie Grew — Annie, your laughter has cheered up many classrooms, and to keep you smiling we give you this comic book. Lester Henry — It seems, Lester, that we have a glove here for you — and the thumb is stuffed, too. I guess this stick goes with it, too. How convenient! Now all you have to do on that Locust Street corner is hold up this stick, and your arm won’t get tired and your hand won’t get cold. Lucinda Hicks — Lucinda, we re all sure that you will make a fine seamstress; and to keep you from swallowing too many pins, we give you this pin-cushion. Stella Hicks — Stella, when you become a nurse, be sure to use this thermometer to read the patients’ temperatures. LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Twenty-seven Eugene Higgins — V-5, that’s you, Bud. And congratulations, too. We all know what that means, so here is an airplane for you. Dale Holmes — A modern car seemed to be the best thing for you, Dale. Yours isn ' t ex- actly up to date; so if you ever need a stylish one in a hurry, here it is! Maxine Holmes — Maxine, you have very fine artistic ability; and to keep your hands in good condition, we give you this hand lotion. Patricia Holden — Pat, we hear that eggs are very nourishing. Surely this egg with a Nog( gie) will keep you in excellent con- dition. Althea Illgen — Althea, we know how you love army shirts, but we think this red dye will help to brighten them up. GRACE Kenerson — Grace, you’re always quiet as a mouse. So well know you ' re around, we give you this horn to make some noise. William Knapp — Bill, we just happened to think that you may get G.T. (Georgia Tech.) and J.T. (a certain local young lady) mixed up; so here’s a picture of J.T. to help you along. MOLL1E Lehy — Mollie, we sympathize with you since you live so far from Falmouth; and if you will allow us, we ll give you some- thing to commute in — a boat. Anna Fernandes — Anna, we’ve heard that you’ll be spending the summer in Oak Bluffs. To make sure you get back safe again, we give you this compass. Emma Mederios — Emma, all we know is that your main ambition is to get married and raise a family. Maybe this hair brush will keep things under control. Carleton Miller — Nothing could be more suitable for you. Sonny, than an extra broom for the floor of the Five-and-Dime. I’m sure the one you use so often must be worn out by now. Robert Moriarty — That pretty hair of yours always looks so nice and neat (the waves all just in place, etc.), that we thought a comb would be welcomed; so here it is. Florence Neal — Flossie, it must be lone- some not having any more rides in a laun- dry truck. We’d like to give you this one, so you’ll be a little hapoier. Alvan Nickerson — It seems. Nick, that the biggest part of your time before enter- ing the Navy was spent in the Falmouth fire station; so to help you to keep this a fond memory, we present you with this fire hose. Warren Nickerson — We know that your ambition is to own a ranch, and ranchers usually need rope to rope their cattle; so here is a coil, all set to use. Robert Noce — Bob, you have a wink for all the girls, but you never seemed able to make up your mind. Perhaps these Hearts and Flow’ers” will get you in the mood to decide. Raymon Paltz — Ray, this red light should warn other girls that you are not available, because we’ve heard you’ve been Pat-ented already. Lawrence Perry — Lonnie, to give you an idea of what you’ll face in the near future, we ' d like to honor you with this ball and chain. Steven Peters — Steve, you were such a good athlete in L.H.S. we want you to do as well in the armed services. This sign should tell you what to do — Stop, Look, and Sa- lute”. Peter Peterson — It seems, Pete, that you have an awfful time to keep your head up off the desks in study hall even long enough to write a note to your red-headed girl friend; so we have for you a pillow. It will be a little softer than the desk itself. Robert Peterson — Bob, we all see you run- ning around in a blue truck every afternoon: so maybe when that one is worn out you can use this one. It may not be so good for size, but it’s better than none at all! Dorothy Rezendes — Dot, w ' e’ve heard that you travel to the Post Office every single night; but the roads are often dark. This la ntern should keep you from getting lost. Lawrence Rowe — We heard. Bud. that you u c ed to have lots of fun fooling away your time in English class, as well as in a few others. It seems as if you might be able to use a few ' new jokes now and then; so — here they are — a w ' hole book of them. Betty Sample — Betty, w-e understand that you’re too young to get into the U.S.O.. but don’t feel bad. Here’s a soldier boy that’s guaranteed to last; he can’t get away from vou. Richard Sample — Dickie, since you are a C.B. and do a lot of digging, we thought it would be fitting to give you this pail and shovel. Mary Sloat — Mary, you love to hold your pencil in your mouth, but you have caused us much anxiety. Perhaps if you tie it around your neck with this ( rope ) , you won’t have to do it any more. Twenty-eight Margaret Simons — Margaret, we have seen you typing and noticed that your fingers just fly across the keys. So, here’s a defense stamp to keep them flying. Richard Strand — Dick, you’re charming and your hair has a slight wave; I don’t think we’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing you accompanied by the opposite sex. If you curl your hair with these, we bet you’ll win all girls’ hearts. Jack Tavares — Farming has always been an interest of yours, Jack, so we figured a hose or rake would be the best thing for you. Janet Thayer — Jan, you try desperately to eat all the vitamins you can; so to make sure you don’t eat the wrong thing we’d like to give you this jar of Clapp’s baby food. William Thayer — Bill, this paddle should help you out, if you should ever lose the oars from your Navy rowboat. PATRICIA Tollio — Pat, we know your am- bition is to do social work in the slums; so to protect yourself we present you with this bat. Joan Trudeau — Joan, we should like to give you this bell so you may get a Buzz(y) whenever you wish. John Tsiknas — There couldn ' t be anything more appropriate for you, Johnny, than something to do with photography; so this film ought to come in handy when you’re posing a glamour girl. We could mean Lorraine! Class History (Continued from Page 22) The biggest surprise and shock of the year came when Mr. Marshall gave us notice that we, the seniors, would graduate about three weeks earlier. All plans naturally had to be revised. As a result we held our Class Ban- quet at Handy’s Inn on the evening of May 13. On Sunday, May 16, Baccalaureate Services were held at St. Patrick’s Church at 11 a.m. Our Class Day, on Monday, proved most en- joyable and we were very excited with gradua- tion so near. Dressed in our caps and gowns, we marched down the stairs on Tuesday eve- ning, May 18; and in just a short while it was over. Looking back over the three years spent in L.H.S., we realize that our years here will un- doubtedly be the best in our lives, for it was here we worked, grew up, erred, and progressed as we climbed the first steps on the long stair- way of Life! THE LAWRENCIAN— 1943 Edna Warren — Edna, you always have every curl in place. Perhaps this wave set will save you time and trouble. Paul Waters — The better part of your days seems to be spent in riding back and forth from the Moors to town. That’s a long ride on a bicycle, so this car ought to be ap- preciated. CARLETON Wing — Wingie, you always seemed to be pretty good at shop here in school, and you worked in the shop at the Oceanographic for so long that a hammer seemed to be the only thing for you. Think you can use it sometime? Luana Wirick — Luana, we know your heart is in Minnesota, but perhaps this will help to keep you company (toy animal). Edward Wixon — Eddie, you’re quiet but smart, and we’re sure you’ll win your wings. So you can always say you had an airplane, we’d like to give you this one. VIRGINIA Studley — Virginia, we know you can write poetry after your writing the Class Ode; thus in order to encourage you, we give you this bottle of ink. John Powers — It seems that you are al- ways puttering around in the lab, here at school or at the Oceanographic, and we weren t sure whether a test tube would come in handy or not; but here is one anyway! SENIOR HONOR STUDENTS Paul Waters, Jean Barrows, Durham Caldwell LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Twenty-nine Class Will Jean Barrows E, the Class of 1943, being totally un- prepared for this hurried departure, have summoned one-half our wits to make our last will and testament: As the senior class, we bequeath to the jun- iors the joys and sorrows of a graduating class and the best of luck for Freak Day, a Prom, and Graduation. Joan Trudeau leaves her Victory Gardens to Elizabeth Fernandes. Have you ever tasted rose petals, Elizabeth? Miss Trudeau assures you that they are an excellent source of vitamins, as well as an ornament for your hair. John Tsiknas leaves the running of the movie machine to any boy who will guarantee to get the pictures right side up. Mabel Corey and Stella Hicks bequeath their knack of making needle and thread accomplish miracles to Betty Holm. Janet Thayer and Edna Warren leave one- half their collection of sweaters and skirts to Martha Redfield. Margaret Cassidy declares she will not part with her flaming tresses, but she is willing to leave some of her ability to take teasing and her good-naturedness to Louise Fisher. Peter Peterson leaves a Buzzards Bay tele- phone directory to Jack Doyle. (Pete is try- ing to keep that Oakwood Avenue address a secret. ) Grace Kenerson leaves her quiet way to Beverly Stewart. All you need do to break Grace’s record, Bev, is to keep your mouth shut for forty-eight hours. Durham Caldwell leaves his much-battered map of New York City to next year’s dele- gates to the C.S.P.A. convention. On it are convenient directions to all subway stations, to theaters, Chinatown, Grand Central, and the place with the crazy mirrors. Lee Davis leaves a number-seventeen stamp to Paul Dingwell, so that Ding may resume his once-frequent hikes to Falmouth Heights. Dennis Cruz leaves his bashful, quiet nature to Jehial Fish. Pat Holden leaves that fighting class spirit to the president of the Class of ’44. Bud Rowe leaves to Tank Bishop and Maestro Taylor the hope that, with food ra- tioning and all, they too may soon be able to skip classes without being missed, not to men- tion being able to get into the movies on chil- dren’s admission. Alvan Nickerson leaves his Superman con- stitution and a bottle of vitamin pills to Bruce Espey. John Powers surrenders his beloved brief case to Jack Hayes. With it, he also bequeaths a large roll of adhesive tape, just in case it should break down after all these years of faith- ful service. Sam Cahoon, Alvan Nickerson, Dick Sam- ple, Bob Noce, and John Tsiknas leave their libraries of little blue books to the A.W.O.L. Club of 1944. Rexford Sepia Etching Warren leaves to Rusty Marshall the feud with Rex Allen. To Miss Arenovski, we leave a pair of roller skates. ( That is the closest we could come to filling her request for a bicycle.) You may find them a bit rusty, Miss Arenovski, but we absolutely guarantee them to get you from Room l4 to the Main Room and the office in record time. The senior girls leave this priceless bit of advice to the sophomores and juniors: The cure for squeeking huaraches is — carry them and go barefoot.

On the evening of May 13, the Seniors held their banquet at Handy’s Inn. After a deli- cious meal, the class presented Mr. Marshall with a handsome leather traveling clock and enjoyed movies of past football games and af- ter-dinner speeches as well as a community sing. The remaining Commencement activities ex- tended over a period of three days — May 16, 17, and 18. The Baccalaureate services were held this year at St. Patrick’s Church. On Mon- day Class Day exercises were held in the Hall School auditorium. Patricia Holden, as chair- man, welcomed parents and friends to these exercises. Then after the usual presentations of Class Prophecy, Will, Gifts, and musical en- tertainment, the Seniors in maroon caps and gowns marched from the auditorium to the front lawn of the high school where they planted their class tree and then sang their Hymn of Loyalty. Tuesday evening marked the end of the Commencement exercises — graduation. After a cordial welcome by Patricia Holden, the class enjoyed a timely address entitled the Call of Youth by Nathan Howard Gist, noted lectur- er. The appearance of several Navy uniforms amidst the maroon caps and gowns domin- strated that many of the members of the Class of ’43 were already in the service of their country. The presentation of Commencement awards and diplomas to members of the Class of 1943 ended the program. Thus concluded the second war-time graduation in the history of the school.

The first day of school, walking across town to the junior high school cafeteria . . . Remember the first day in the new Village school, the Maypole Dances on Field Days, the boys’ soccer games, Major (Charlie Borden) Bowes Amateur Show . . . Graduation from the sixth grade to junior high — -green seventh graders, all getting acquainted with those from town, East Falmouth, Teaticket, and Woods Hole? Then Gay had to accustom herself to wagging her tail for Durham at J.H.S. . . . Can we ever forget the day when Nicky ar- rived with a part in his hair, and when Flor- ence appeared minus those baby curls? . . . Never forget our one and only Prom, and Maggie’s rendition of The Same Old Shille- lagh’! . . . Remember the attempt to initiate us as sophomores — and (sh!) the day when trophies turned to vases, and bells refused to ring? . . . Our Sweetheart Dance . . . and on into the Junior year with the Victory Dance . . . that was the year of learning! ! ( or was it? ) . . . The day finally came when we could walk through the Main Door w ' ithout fear. We were a clever senior class — look how original we were in omitting a class motto and Freak Day. We hardly considered a prom . . . Class Day will forever remain in our memory, even to the last hat strain of the Hymn of Loyalty” . . . Tho we thought w’e were mistreated by Fate, some kind Providence stayed with us til the end — the ban on pleasure-driving was re- effected the day after Graduation!” Then, mumbling through our gray beards and false teeth, we shake our heads and pass along, thinking of the days that were . . . School Days, School Days, dear old Golden-Rule Days . . Scenes from 1943 Class Day Thirty-six THE LAWRENCIAN— 1943 Henry H. Smythe Moll Of Honor These graduates of Lawrence High School have best exemplified in their school life the ideals of Loyalty, Honor, and Service” are the words cast in bronze on the Roll of Honor, which for fourteen years has graced the wall at the front of the Main Room, an ever-mindful present to L. H. S. from its generous friend, the late Rev. Henry H. Smythe. This year Patricia Holden, acting president of the Class of ’43, and D. A. R. pilgrim, and Durham Caldwell, co-editor of the Lawrencian and senior honor student, were chosen by their fellow students to have their names cast in bronze and placed on the tablet. Patricia Holden P ATRICIA, as acting class president, suc- cessfully took charge of all graduation plans and details. As a leader she has always been very active throughout her three years at L. H. S. When not participating in social affairs, Pat has been busy with her work on the Lawrencian and Lawrencian High-Lites staff. She also won oratorical honors in the Legion contest last year. Her classmates this year chose her as their D. A. R. Pilgrim because of her winning personality and high scholastic standing. Her plans for the future take her into the field of nursing and, after the war, into the work of an air-hostess. Durliam Caldwell D URHAM, co-editor of the Lawrencian and Lawrencian High-Lites, stands first in his class scholastically. Nevertheless he has found time to participate in oratory, dramatics, and radio broadcasting, as well as football and baseball throughout his high school career. His hobby shows his enthusiasm for all sports, in particular, baseball. Almost every issue of the Lawrencian, for the past three years, has contained both excellent sports reports and creative stories of his. Clever at writing, Durham plans to continue his journalistic work at Columbia University this summer. LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Thirty-seven Message to Class of ’43 Principal Russell B. Marshall T HIS year the students in the United States are expected to make a definite contri- bution to the war effort, to serve in some essential capacity, or to begin training for service. Whether you step right into the fighting or the production line or continue your training beyond high school, you all must do your part and your effort must start at once. The boys and girls of high school age are all wondering what kind of world they are going to live in when the war is over, and they are again looking toward the careers of their choice. That world that you will live in will be what you make it. There will be many problems to solve. It will be your job to study these problems and overcome the many obstacles they will present. You must all, you and your generation, think hard and work hard if we wish to make certain that the victory, when it comes, is worth the winning. You must face the facts and solve them in a manner to make our victory count in terms of increased opportunities. If we face the facts and then take whatever action is required, we shall have done our part in helping to restore to normal not only the lives of peoples but also values that these people have already paid dearly for. You are sharing in this great task of making the post-war-world a better and safer place to live in than the pre-war world. What you do today toward victory and your efforts after victory — that is the answer to all peoples that we prefer the American Way of Life.” Farewell, L, H. S, Jean Barrows, Co-Editor ARE WELL, Lawrence High School, the A parting has come . . Our parting is no ordinary graduation; the world that is about to receive us is in no ordinary state. It will welcome us more eagerly than it has welcomed many other graduates. Yes, there is a place waiting for each of us, which may or may not be our good fortune. In the whirl of this rapidly moving era, our ambitions may be more easily attained than is usual. But we must not accept this only as a proof of superiority. Even when Victory is realized, we must continue to accept the re- sponsibilities of citizens of the world. We must set higher and wider goals of Peace. We must not be content with success easily gained; for, if it is easy for us, others may find it still easier. With these serious thoughts, we, the Class of 1943, accept the challenges that graduation offers; and we sincerely sing, We sadly must bid you adieu.” Farewell, Seniors Joanne Baker, ’44 AY your path be straight and firm. May your hearts be light; And may there always be a star To guide you through the night. May you ne’er know fear or hate. May you seek out peace; And may you triumph in the end So our life may never cease. May you find your place in life; May you span its girth. And may you show to all the world That youth can prove its worth. Thirty-eight THE LAWRENCIAN — 1943 FAMILIAR SCENES AND FACES First Row ( left to right) : L.H.S. vs. Barnstable; Winter Scene; L.H.S.

Baker, who is again the sophomore adviser. Although their social activities have been few, enough money was collected to buy a War Bond in the name of the school. The sophomore boys this year have made quite a record for themselves in athletics. Out- standing players on the football team included Cammie Lawrence, Marshie Cross, Ellie Eld- ridge, Harrison Wulbern, Art Williams, Ralph Medeiros, and Eddie Medeiros. Having par- ticipated in three major games, Marshie Cross, Cammie Lawrence, Ellie Eldredge, and Art Williams were awarded football L’s.” In in- tramural winter and spring sports, a fighting sophomore volleyball team defeated the upper- classmen and faculty in a recent tournament. Members of the team included Cammie Law- rence, Ellie Eldridge, Marshie Cross, Harrison Wulbren, and Charlie Compton. President Ellie Eldridge also holds the record time for the new obstacle course. The sophomores, too, have an Honor Roll. It is comprised of one member, Alden Stewart, who is in the Navy. This year, although the school and work have been quite different and new to them, Victoria Simons and Frank Carter have man- aged to come through with high scholastic honors. Orchestra members who helped entertain the school with an assembly were Anne Law- rence, Marilyn Mullen, Beverly Stewart, Carol Peterson, Ruth Weeks, Jane Hubbard, Esther Tsiknas, and Paul Dingwell. These members al c o played with the school orchestra during Class Day and Graduation exercises. Seventeen sophomores have been added to the Lawrencian staff. On the literary staff are: Beverly Stewart, Carol Peterson, Esther Tsik- nas, James Rogers, and Harrison Wulbern. Natalie Robinson is on the art staff. Members of the business staff include Jane Hubbard, Dororhv Crocker, Carol Wright, Marilyn Mul- len Evelyn MacDougall, Loretta Murray, Lilly Erskine, Margaret Neal. Nathan Ellis, Freder- ick Davis, and Robert Palmer. Many of these members are also on the Lawrence High-Lites staff. As our first year in L.H.S. draws to a close, we are looking forward to our next two years here with happy anticipation and hope that they will both be as successful and enjoyable as this one has been. Forty-one LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Class of 1944 Class Officers President Harry Pierce Vice-President Vincent Duffany Secretary Agnes DeSouza Treasurer John Thompson John Thompson, Agnes DeSouza, Vincent Duffany, Harry Pierce T HE Junior Class of L.H.S. started their active year of social, scholastic, and ath- letic honors by electing their class officers. In the sports world, before the boys were called away to war, many junior boys made names for themselves on the gridiron. Fullback Fred Jonas was the highest individual scorer for the season with 18 points to his credit, while Larry Harlow, Charlie Borden, and Frank Macedo followed closely behind. Other team members included Bill Sullivan, Pin i Ferreira, Tank Bishop, Jehi Fish, and Jack Fowler. Later in the season, government demands forced the inter-scholastic basketball and base- ball games to be abandoned for the duration of the war. The boys then organized intra- mural basketball and volley ball teams, and many Friday evenings found a very enthusi- astic group of fans in the Hall School gym, each cheering for his own respective class. The teams for the juniors, under the captaincy of Joe Brown, included Howard Ellis, Earle Crocker, John Limberakis, Fred Bishop, Bill Taylor, Bill Sullivan, John Thompson, Vincent Duffany, and Jehi Fish. Besides their outstanding record in the field of sports, the juniors have led the way in the L.H.S. social whirl, despite the drastic cut in school activities on account of the war. October — or rather Hallowe’en— found the juniors as hosts to more than 100 students at a Harvest Dance. A five-piece orchestra was the feature of the evening. The dance was un der the chairmanship of Joan Spillane and her committee — Joanne Baker, Catherine Tsiknas, John Thompson, Vincent Duffany, Earle Crock- er, and Solange Saulnier. To continue their social, as well as financial success, they chose a Ways and Means Com- mittee — Joan Spillane, chairman; Joanne Baker, Solange Saulnier, Catherine Tsiknas, and John Thompson. As Christmas drew near, this committee planned the juniors second social event— the Christmas Bazaar. This Bazaar combined danc- ing to records from a juke box with novelty booths ranging from grabs to penny throwing. The Ways and Means Committee with the ad- Trio ' H 5 ; d of Grace Hammond, Jean Cobb. John Limberakis, Hollis Bradgon, Vincent Duf- fany, and Bruce Carswell was in charge. To the one important school activity left, namely, the Lawrencian — many junior jour- nalists have also contributed not only their lit- erary efforts, but also their artistic and busi- ness efforts. They are: Paul Waters, Joanne Baker, and Joan Spillane, associate editors; Bruce Espey, Alice Williamson, literary; Sol- ange Saulnier, Louise Fisher, art. The business staff included Agnes DeSouza, Carolyn Crab- tree, and Elizabeth Fernandez, advertising man- agers; Carrie Oliver, William Lopes, Jean Stuart. Muriel Wright, Barbara Bourne, and Alice Williamson, advertising staff. Forty-two All these juniors with the exception of the business staff have contributed to the Law- rence High-Lites. a supplementary mimeo- graphed newspaper, edited four times during the year. With the passage of the 18-year old draft bill, the war struck close to the heart of the juniors, as well as the seniors, when nine mem- bers of the class enlisted in the armed services. The Junior Roll of Honor includes Charlie Borden. Babe Bradgon, Bill Cantwell, Pini Fer- leira, Bud Hall, Larry Harlow, Frank Macedo, Henry Meyer, and Harry Pierce. During the week of the Second War Loan drive, the faculty and students bought over $1200 worth of bonds and stamps. This en- deavor was under the direction of the Junior War Bond Committee — Solange Saulnier, Rus- sell Palmer, Earle Crocker, and Joanne Baker as chairman. To aid the war effort further, this committee sponsored a $25 Bond Raffle which proved most successful. As part of the L.H.S. Victory Corps program, many juniors have participated in military drill, physical fitness, first-aid, and other pre-induc- tion courses. The most outstanding of the ci- vilian defense activities includes the boys’ effi- THE LAWRENCI AN — 1943 cient work as Junior Callmen which consists of assisting the regular firemen in their duties. The girls also are banded together as Auxiliary Firemen and aid as switchboard, warning cen- ter, radio, and control operators. Junior boys in the Callmen are John Limberakis, Vincent Duffany, Bill Sullivan, Russell Palmer, and Bruce Carswell. Junior Auxiliary Firemen are Jean Cobb, first lieutenant; Joan Spillane, Joanne Baker, Catherine Tsiknas, and Alice Williamson. Upholding the scholastic standing of the junior class were Paul Waters, who combined his junior and senior years to graduate with the class of ’43 as an honor student, and Agnes DeSouza, Honor Roll; Martha Redfield, Bruce Carswell, Catherine Tsiknas, and Alice Will- iamson, Certificate List. Bringing this, their second year at L.H.S. to a successful close, the new seniors are looking forward to their last year with interest and pleasure under the guidance of their new of- ficers. The senior officers for the class of 1944 are: President, Vincent Duffany, who was chosen as Marshal for the Class of ’43; Vice- President, Joanne Baker; Secretary, Agnes DeSouza; Treasurer, Carolyn Crabtree.

The first issue came out in November, con- taining fourteen pages of news, stories, pic- tures, sports, editorials, gossip, and humor, to- gether with a special aviation section. Publication was suspended during the win- ter while staff members worked on the Law- rencian; so it wasn’t until early April that a second nineteen-page super-edition made its appearance. Featured, along with an expanded aviation section, was a screamlined gossip and humor page entitled Sniffy the Snooper.” Art and duplicating work gained near per- fection in issue number three, offered for sale on the last day of April. Added to the host of regular features were a ’round-the-news-fronts column and, of special interest to the girls, an up-to-date fashion preview. The High-Lites was edited by the co-editors of the Lawrencian. Jean Barrows and Durham Caldwell, under the able guidance of Miss Are- novski. Typing was done by Mrs. Peterson’s typewriting class. Members of the staff were as follows: Seniors: Patricia Holden, John Powers, Max- ine Holmes, Greta Garland, Ellsworth Night- ingale (now in the Navy), LeRoy Davis, Rob- ert Peterson, Paul Waters, Carleton Miller, John Ballard ( now in the Coast Guard ) , Lester Henry, Virginia Studley, Robert Noce, William I.ucero, Beverly Berg, and John Tsiknas.

HL S, Victory Corps Program L awrence high school, one of 28,- 000 high schools in the country which is eager to do its part for victory, has inaugu- rated a Victory Corps program. More stress has been put on training for service in war production and in the armed forces than in preparation for college. Besides its regular curricula, this school offers courses in pre-flight aeronautics, radio, first-aid, physical fitness, military drill, and electricity. PhysicaPFitness Program A S part of the Victory Corps program, a new physical-training course was intro- duced at L.H.S. this year, featuring, among other things, a difficult obstacle run and a set of ten achievement standards. To begin with, class schedules were re- arranged so that every boy would have a daily gym period. Emphasis was placed on individ- ual muscular development and co-ordination, but sports were by no means abandoned. Ten achievement requirements were an- nounced by Athletic Director Elmer Fuller shortly after the program went into effect. A point system was set up allowing ten points for the fulfillment of each event with extra credit for exceeding the goals. Participants failing in one field were permitted to make up their deficiency by surpassing the quota in another. The ten requirements, varied for dif- ferent weight groups, included pushups, chin- ning, dips on parallel bars, standing broad jump, running broad jump, running high jump, 100-yard dash, mile run, carrying own weight, and rope-climbing. With the coming of spring, the notorious obstacle course was constructed on the high- school field under the supervision of Coach Fuller. A ten-foot blank wall and a twenty-foot stretch of rope are the main features of this long and arduous trek , which also includes several various types and sizes of hurdles and balancing rails and a goal-post-like bar to be traversed hand-over-hand. The official record for the course at present is held by Ellie Eld- ridge of the sophomore class whose time was 2 min. 12 sec. Winter And Spring Sports ITH the suspension of all inter-scholas- tic sports at the close of the football sea son, L.H.S. settled down to a series of intra- mural basketball contests, livened up a bit with occasional hoop encounters against local team, and service outfits. A four-team round-robin, with games sched- uled twice a week, was started early in the basketball season. Although attendance wa; never very high, players were plentiful at first; however with the rush to enlist and the taking ol jobs by many students, participation dropped off considerably and by the end of the season it had become exceedingly difficult to put two quintets on the floor. Interest in the contests with outside compe- tition was much higher, due partly to the fact that games were played at night. Opponents faced by the Fullermen include the Ten Acre Hoboes, Junior Callmen, Oceanographic Insti- tute, Woods Hole Naval Base, and a couple of Camp teams. Although complete records are not available, the snappy L.H.S. five, handi- capped by lack of practice together, did better than break even against opposition which was, on the whole, taller, older, and more experi- enced. Pini Ferreira, Nicky Nickerson, Marshie Douthart, Ellie Eldridge, Cam Lawrence, Bill and Art Lucero, Jess Miller, Bill Sullivan, and Marshie Cross were all important cogs in the continually changing L.H.S. line-up. Upon completion of the basketball season, an intramural volleyball league went into opera- tion. The Senior and Sophomore sextets finish- ed in a deadlock for first place, necessitating a playoff for the championship, which the Sophs won, three games to two, when the upper classmen blew up on the verge of taking their third contest. Lack of transportation and the number of students working would seem to indicate an- other years without interscholastic sports. Inter- scholastic athletics, especially football, are or- dinarily very important factors in high school life. They furnish something which is lacking in the present set-up. If, however, there can be no interscholastic sports next year, a well- planned and diversified intramural program should be provided for. Forty-eight THE LAWRENCIAN — 1943 L. H. S, War Program First Ron (left to right): Radio Classwork; Senior Aeronautics Class. Second Row: Obstacle Course, Ten Foot Wall; First-Aid Class. Third Row: Junior Callmen; Junior Auxiliary Firemen. Fourth Row: Red Cross Council; L.H.S. Air-Raid Wardens. LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Forty-nine (Girls’ Auxiliary Firemen T HIS group was organized last February under the leadership of Lieutenant Mac- Whinnie of the Falmouth Fire Department and Captain Ida Sylvester of the Massachusetts Women ' s Defense Corps. There are ten regular members: Beverly Stewart, Captain; Jean Cobb, Betty Sample, Lieutenants; Carol Peterson, Esther Tsiknas, Rose Moniz, Carol Wright, Joan Spillane, Josephine Gray, and Alice Williamson, Pri- vates. The company meets at the Central Fire Sta- tion every Tuesday from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. Early in May the Auxiliary Firemen joined the M.W.D.C. as a unit. Now they will be trained in chemical warfare, military drill, and A.R.P. work, and also become members of the Falmouth M.W.D.C. Company. ♦ ♦ ♦ Junior Calloiveo T HE Junior Callmen of the Falmouth Fire Department, led by Lt. Milton R. C. Mac- Whinnie and organized three years ago, have indeed done much to fill in the vacancies left open by the regular men who have been called to do their part in the present war emergency. Responding to every kind of an alarm no matter what time of day or night, the Juniors make themselves useful by lugging around hose and ladders and setting up lighting equip- ment, which the regular firemen are busy with other major operations. Under the direction of Lt. MacWhinnie the Junior Callmen have learned to lay hose, set up ladders, use lifelines, jump into lifenets, and operate portable light plants and water pumps. The Juniors, besides making a little extra spending money, are getting useful training and are pitching in on the war effort. The Junior Callmen have regular meetings twice a month. They have officers which cor- respond to the regular callmen officers. Alvan Nickerson, a seasoned callman, is, at present, captain of the Juniors. Henry Lopes is first lieutenant and Campbell Lawrence is second lieutenant. The rest of the squad includes: Bud Higgins, Bill Sullivan, Jack Doyle, John Tsik- nas, Vincent Duffany, Gilbert Hall, Carleton Miller, Dave Baldic, Frank Cardoza, Harvey Holden, John Moran, John Limberakis, Colin MacDougall, LeRoy Davis, Barrett McLaugh- lin, Bobby Weeks. B ELIEVED to be the first high school in the nation to offer basic military training under the supervision of regular Army instruc- tors, L.H.S. late last fall inaugurated such a program with Cpl. Freeman Robbins (L.H.S. ' 30) and Sgt. William Gilman of the First Service Command, Camp Edwards. Beginning late in November and ending in mid-February, the well-attended sessions af- forded the boys of L.H.S. about forty hours of valuable pre-induction training. Classes, which were held two nights a week in the Hall School gym, were indefinitely suspended in February when Gilman and Robbins were transferred, the latter going to Officer Candidate School. Since then the Army has been unable to pro- vide instructors, whose serv ices, incidentally, were given voluntarily. Much of the time was spent on close-order drill; the boys becoming proficient enough to put on a roundly-applauded exhibition in the Camp Edwards Arena between the halves of a basketball game. Enfield .30 cal. rifles were supplied by the Army, and the boys were just becoming ex- perts at the manual of arms when classes came to a halt. Variety was added to the drilling with the showing of several Army training films. In- struction was given, through films and lectures, on military courtesy, discipline, military law, and several other phases of service life. The drill was received with enthusiasm by the students of L.H.S., and all participants were sincerely sorry that it was suspended. We genuinely hope that next year will again find L.H.S. students, girls as well as boys, partici- pating in this most worthwhile activity under the competent supervision of regular Army in- structors. Fifty THE LAWRENCIAN— 1943 AGRICULTURAL CLASS Left to Right: Charles Botelho, Jack Tavares, Mr. Robinson, instructor; Antone Souza, Dennis Cruz, Gordon Green. Aeronautics I N order to prepare the boys for the Army and Naval Air Corps, a course in aero- nautics, which consisted of pre-flight training in meteorology and navigation, was introduced at L.H.S. The first few months were spent with the basic functions and use of the elementary in- struments connected with meteorology. Next, the study turned to the application of trigo- nometry to dead reckoning. This was class work with the use of tables. Mr. Ballard made it quite clear that mathe- matics is merely a check and auxiliary to the use of the next navigational method — celestial navigation. In class, Mr. Ballard showed the students how to use the sextant and transit properly and what the instruments did. Next came the practical demonstration out-of-doors, using the sextant to determine latitude and the transit to distance by triangulation. The objective was to give all students a good practical knowledge of the elementary instru- ments and methods used in both navigation and meteorology. ♦ ♦ ♦ First-Aid Class U NDER the direction of Miss Charlotte Holden, school nurse, the following have been presented with first-aid certificates: Edith DeMello, Agnes DeSouza, Elizabeth Fernandez, William Lopes, Carrie Oliver, Nathalie Rob- inson, Margaret Scharff, James Vincent. Victory Garden Corps ITH the aid to the war effort in mind the Lawrence High School Agriculture Department has set up a Victory Garden Corps Class. This class, which meets two periods a week, is composed of women who come of their own accord. There also is another group that meets after school made up of young peo- ple who want to have victory gardens. These youngsters come to ask questions and get in- formation about plants, soils, seeds, and the best size of garden to have. Besides these classes, Mr. Robinson, the Agri- culture supervisor of Lawrence High School, makes soil tests for the townspeople who bring in their samples. After these tests are com- pleted, and he finds out the acidity of the soil, he then advises them what to do, and which crops can be grown to the best advantage in their locality. Mr. Robinson has also made a list of dealers who have transplant plants in stock. This list contains the variety of plants kept by dealers in Falmouth. ♦ ♦ ♦ Navy Airplane Models A GAIN this year the L.H.S. Shop boys have continued their work for the Navy — making model airplanes to scale. These models include English, American, Japanese, German, Italian, and Russian planes. So far this year the L.H.S. boys, together with the Hall School boys, have completed 60 models. Donald Croft, senior shop member, was given the rank of honorary lieutenant in the Navy for his effi- cient work in making these models. ♦ ♦ ♦ War Bond Drive A S their part in the Second War Loan Drive nearly ninety per cent of the stu- dents and faculty of Lawrence High School bought war bonds and stamps during the sec- ond week in May. This drive was under the direction of a junior class committee — Solange Saulnier, Joanne Baker, Russell Palmer, and Earle Crocker — who earlier in the year staged a successful War Bond Raffle for the juniors.
