LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Thirty-one Class Prophecy Anne Lawrence I N order to find what the future holds for you, the class of ’45, I brought out my crys- tall ball, and strange were the many sights I saw. The first one I saw was Bev Stewart, who was high on a platform speaking for the United Charities Drive with her two grandchildren on either side of her. The scene shifted to Lincoln Park, where Frank Sisson and ]ane Hubbard were filling in for Frankie Carle. As part of an occupational therapy program, Lillian Barrows was jitterbugging and Cather- ine Green was tap-dancing. There out of the blue sailed two admirals, Frank Carter and Jack Doyle, saluting from the bridge of their newly commissio ned ship, the U. S. S. Pat. As Lawrence High School Advisor, Esther Tsiknas was surrounded by boys all asking her the same question: Who th’ heck ’ll I drag to the prom?” In the corridor, Eleanor Fontes was selling absence slips and Muriel Peters was selling caricatures of the teachers. Dot Crocker, Ernestine lllgen, and Dot Hampton were hard at work on a bridge across Falmouth Harbor for convenience in emergen- cies. Jack Farrell and Charlie Vail were farmers. One tended to the hay-hay! while the other fell back on the ho-ho! Lilly Erskine was on her hands and knees scrubbing the deck of the C-18. Avis Hill was raising goats for L. H. S. mas- cots. Jim Vincent was famed as maker of fish flies. In the crystal I could barely distinguish the trademark, Allen’s Best.” Vic Simons was polishing 50c pieces in the bank. Colin MacDougall was perched high on a pile of money. He had just invented an effi- cient lipstick remover for white shirts. Then on the other side of the ball rose a little church. Ruth Weeks rolled up her model T” to take her little boy from the Sunday School teacher, Peg Neal. Lewis DeSouza, Tony Medeiros, and Stan Harvey, as members of the Air Corps, appeared as wolves in sheep’s clothing. Lewis and Tony were howling, and Stan was blushing. In the psycho ward of a large hospital Lois Baker was head nurse. Madeline Bonito, Betty Cunningham, Judy Ferreira, Loretta Murray, Marilyn Reynolds, Hazel Rodriques, Pauline Stratton, Bev Sylvia, Lorraine Torres, Mary Balona. and Germina Viega were all suffering from 6 A. M. fatigue. In a school house in Alaska, Nat Robinson and Peg Scharff were teaching the Eskimos the Harvard tongue. Herbie Sample was washing dishes in a huge drugstore. Ellie Eldridge, as president, and Dave Baldic and Richie Cahoon, as outstanding executives, were the heads of an All Sports, No Home- work Club for Boys.” The whole crystal suddenly turned a blaz- ing red. It was Jim Rogers zooming by in his fire truck. Terry White was sitting with a lap-full of mice. She was teaching them how to be as quiet as she. Past a barber’s pole and through a window display of pipes, I saw Brad Perry giving Ellie Eldridge a whiffle. The telephone gals, Evelyn MacDougall, Carol Peterson, and Rose Moniz, were on the job with a complete set of push buttons for automatic control. For a long time I concentrated on Richie DeAiello, Sumner Baker and Mort Davis with- out anything happening. Finally in desperation, my crystal gave forth three wild wolves, thrash- ing wildly about. With the commotion, the crystal ball fell in shattered pieces on the floor, to be forever powerless. ♦ ♦ ♦ = CLASS HISTORY Continued from page 29) Carter and Victoria Simons to have their names added to the Smythe Tablet of Honor.

The next day was Class Day, with a class banquet in the evening at the Four O’Clock. Graduation on May 22nd terminated our three happy years here in Lawrence High School.
