Lawrence high school Twenty-five Class History Edward Burgess W HILE looking through my Memo Box ' ' 1 found a small notebook entitled: THE LOG OF THE CLASS OF ' 44 on board the training ship L.H.S. Its contents were inter- esting to me. It read: Early in 1942 we swarmed on deck to be- . gin our three-year voyage with a large crew on ship under the guidance of Captain Farnsworth K. Baker and First Mate Barbara Follansbee. With eager interest we were off on our first cruise. Harry Pierce was chosen as our Class Presi- dent. Eight sophomores were chosen for the Lawrencian Staff: Bruce Espey, Marjorie Perlot, Paul Waters, Solange Saulnier, Katherine Tsik- nas, Joanne Baker, and Jean Stuart, lean Cobb and Elizabeth Fernandes participated in sports. Louise Fisher and Carolyn Crabtree were mem- bers of the Riding Club. Sophomore boys active in sports were Fred Jonas, Larry Harlow, Bill Sullivan, Bill Lockhart, Bill Cantwell, Charles Borden, Vernon Haynes, and Frank Macedo. Charles Borden, the basketball star, was the highest scorer on the first team with 122 points. Many of our crew became sea sick during our first year, but most of us found our sea legs and continued. We found great pleasure par- ticipating in various sports and dances. After a summer ' s shore leave we returned to our ship to start the second voyage. We welcomed a group of sophomores and started at once to make them feel at home. Miss Sideri and Miss Suzedell, faculty members, were also greeted by us at this time. We elected Harry Pierce as president and Vincent Duffany as vice president We also had a few dances. Many remember the fun they had at the Harvest Dance with a five-piece orchestra. On that dance committee were Joanne Baker, Katherine Tsiknas, John Thompson, Vincent Duffany, Earl Crocker, and Solange Saulnier. We had a Christmas Bazaar with a juke box and booths ior different things, such as grab bags and penny throwing. On the Ways and Means Committee were Bruce Carswell, Grace Ham mond Jean Cobb, John Limberakis, Hollis Bragdon, and Vincent Duffany. On the L-aw rencian were Associate Editors: Paul Waters Joanne Baker Joan SpiUane: Literary: Bruce Espey and Alice Williamson; Art. Sciange Saulnier, and Louise Fisher; Advertising Man- ager: Agnes DeSouza, Carolyn Crabtree, Eliza- beth Fernandes; Business Staff: Carrie Oliver, William Lopes, Jean Stuart, Muriel Wright, Barbara Bourne, and Alice Williamson. The sea remained calm for the first two months; then we were upset by a real storm. War was in the air for most of the boys. Many of them enlisted and others were drafted. Later in the season, government demands forced inter-scholastic football, basketball, and baseball games to be abandoned for the duration of the war. The boys organized intramural basketball and volley ball teams. Games were held on Friday evenings in the Hall School gym, with a group of high school fans cheering their re- spective classes. Fred Jonas, full-back, received the highest individual score for the season. Other mem bers of the first team were Larry Harlow, Charles Borden, and Frank Macedo. On the second team were Bill Sullivan, Anthony Fer reira, Fred Bishop, Jehial Fish, and Jack Fowler. On the basketball team were Joe Brown, How- ard Ellis, Earl Crocker, John Limberakis, Fred Bishop, Bill Taylor, John Thompson, Vincent Duffany, and Jehial Fish. Miss Arenovski showed us the spirit of co- operation with one important school activity left, namely, the Lawrencian. Many junior journalists contributed a great deal. Another summer ' s shore leave, and then we became Midshipmen’ at last! Being on top made us feel quite proud. We were taken as one group into Mr. Allen s Home Room. We extended a cordial greeting to Miss Odgen Miss Sullivan, Miss Dick, and Mr. Scott. ( The w ' ar had taken a few of our regular teachers for war purposes ) . Vincent Duffany w ' as chosen president of the class. This year w r e have been working on the Lawrencian and have had a great pleasure doing so. We have sailed a rough course, but this is not all in vain be- cause we have planned many things together, such as the Prom, and have gained a lot from ihe three years that we spent here. This being our last year, we have tried re- make it the best; so. Shipmates, let’s make this day the best because we are to face this big world of ours alone. We have encountered favorable w r eather for smooth sailing, so let s coi.in.ee to dc sc on the good ship L. t i. o.
