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-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.

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!
