Twenty-two THE LAWRENCIAN— 1944 Henry H. Smythe Roll 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 fifteen 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. In the class of 1944 Joanne Baker, co-editor of the Laivrencian, D. A. R. pilgrim, and class vice-president, and Vincent Duff any, class and student council president, have been voted by their fellow students as the ones to have their names cast in bronze and placed on the tablet. Joanne Baker J OANNE, as a class officer and Lawrencian staff member, has been very active in school affairs during her three years in Law- rence High. This year she was vice-president of her class, co-editor of the Laivrencian, a member of the Sportsmanship Brotherhood, and was chosen by her classmates for her charm- ing ways and studious aptitude to be their D. A. R. Pilgrim. Her interests right now center around the Cadet Nurse Corps, and after the war she in- tends to continue in that field. Vincent Onffany V INCENT, as class president, has success- fully atetnded to all of the graduation plans. In his years at Lawrence High he has always been a leader in his class and a member of the football team. This year his activities included being President of the reorganized and very active student council and being a member of the Junior Callmen Squad. His destination at present is the Navy, but his post-war vocation will be the garage busi- ness.

LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Twenty-three Class Ode Joanne Baker. ’44 FAREWELL to the Class of ’44 T AWRENCE High School , 4 Though ice leave thee. Thoughts of thee will never die. Dear old Lawrence, In thy teachings, All our hopes will ever lie. In our hearts with true devotion. We will breathe a parting sigh. Lawrence High School, Though we leave thee, Thoughts of thee will never die. Friends we knew, Through all the ages, Never will we break the tie. Dear old Lawrence, Ever guide us, As ice bid a fond good-bye. In our hearts with true devotion. We will breathe a parting sigh, Lawrence High School, Though we leave thee. Thoughts of thee will never die. Beverly Stewart, ’45 T ODAY we follow; tomorrow we lead.” This is your class motto. Graduation has already marked the end of your today”, but your tomorrow” has been thrust upon you in startling reality. Because of the conflict in which the world is submerged, you are being called upon before you can finish your plans for the future. The task which has been set before you now is not to lead a normal life with financial and social success, but to attain victory in the quickest way possible. To do this, some of you are in the fight now and many more will be in it; others will devote their energies in war jobs at home. Still others will go on with their education because their goal is to establish a new and better world when that victory is won. Whichever path you may follow, start now to take your place in a world in which each na- tion, no matter how small or large, is free to choose its own type of government, a world that tolerates the four freedoms — freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from fear, and freedom from want — and a world without wars. It will take good leadership to establish such a world; your path, therefore, stretches out before you with the beckoning torch of free- dom lighting the way. Tomorrow you lead!
