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!

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.
