Principal TT has always been the responsibility of the schools to provide pupils with the train- ing and intellectual equipment with which to think about their world. This remains a fundamental responsibility of the schools and today it becomes a heavier responsibility than ever. You who are graduating now from high school must realize that in the area of world affairs there are no simple questions or answers. You must seek to understan d the feelings, thoughts, and modes of life elsewhere in the world. To develop this knowledge will in each one of you also develop a toler- ance for and an appreciation of the other fellow ' s point of view, problems, and wav of life. It is my sincere hope that Lawrence High School has through its teachings given you an appreciation of our democratic way of life, an appreciation of the other fellow’s point of view and problems. If you set for yourselves a goal of this kind, you will at least have the satisfaction of feeling that, regardless of what happens, you have carried out your assignment with integrity.

Twenty-eight THE LAWRENCIAN— 1947 Veterans of the Class of 1947 VETERANS Left to right : Bill Lopes, Arthur Williams, Horace Medeiros, Donald Beauchemin. WILLIAM LOPES William Lopes, former Seaman first-class of the Navy, also returned to school for his di- ploma. He plans to go to Springfield College to study physical education on the G. I. plan. Bill was in the Navy a year and a half and spent this time in the Asiatic-Pacific. When asked to make a statement, Bill declared, China fascinated me. ARTHUR WILLIAMS Arthur Williams, who joined the Navy in 1945, is another of the veterans who are back in school to get their diplomas. Arthur was in the Navy twenty-three months and six days on the USS Dawson. He served in the Pacific Theatre and was in the first convoy to reach Japan. His reaction to the first city he saw was, It was dirtier than even Manila.” Arthur liked the navy and plans to go to Wentworth on the G. I. plan when he finishes school. LESTER SILVA Lester Silva is also back to finish school after having been in the Navy Seabees for fif- teen months. He left school in 1945 and is now catching up on his lost schooling. While in the seabees, Lester spent most of his time in the Asiatic-Pacific Theatre on Guam. Here he took care of the airfields. Lester is still undecided as to what he will do when he graduates. HORACE MEDEIROS Horace Medeiros, former Seaman second- class of the Navy, is one of the five ex-G. I.’s who have returned to finish school. After re- ceiving his diploma, Horace plans to take ad- vantage of the G. I. plan and further his education. Horace left school in 1945 to join the Navy where he spent twenty-one months on active duty in the Atlantic and Pacific Theatres. He spent two months of this at the North Pole testing navy equipment. Accord- ing to Horace, the temperature often ranged from 30 to 60 degrees below zero and his im- pression of the North Pole was All I saw was icebergs!” His stay in the Navy was spent on the USS Midway and he said, The Navy was fine, but it certainly has its faults.” DONALD BEAUCHEMIN Another member of the senior class who has returned to complete his education after having been in the service is Donald Shorty Beauche- min. Shorty was a seaman first class in the navy on Landing Craft for Flotilla Flagship. He served sixteen months in the Asiatic-Pacific theatre where he went through two tropical typhoons. When asked to give his opinion of the navy he answered, I had a heck of a good time.” Shorty hasn’t yet decided what he will do when he graduates. LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Twenty-nine Henry H. Smythe Roll of Honor tt ' T ' HESE graduates of Lawrence High School have best exemplified in their school J- the ideals of Loyalty, Honor, and Service” are the words cast in bronze on the Roll of Honor, which for eighteen years has graced the wall at the front of the Main R.oom, an ever-mindful present to L.H.S. from its generous friend, the late Rev. Henry H. Smythe. From the class of 1947 Marilyn H. Merrill — class secretary and Editor-in-Chief of the Lawrencian , — and Phillip B. Peterson — class treasurer and Junior Red Cross Pres- ident — have been chosen by their fellow students to have their names cast in bronze and placed on the tablet. Marilyn Holbrook Merrill Phillip TB. Peterson M ARILYN, class secretary since ’45, and editor-in-chief of the Lawrencian, has played an active part in school life during her three years at Lawrence. She participated in the Westinghouse Science Talent search, West- inghouse Carnegie, and Pepsi-Cola Scholarship contests. Among many other activities she was a C.S.P.A. delegate and was awarded the Wash- ington and Franklin History medal. Marilyn has been an honor student since ’45 and plans to enter Raddiffe College in the fall. T)H1LIP, class treasurer and Junior Red Cross president, served his class as Vice-President last year. He is interested in athletics and was a member of the L.H.S. football and basketball teams as well as an active participant in many social functions. Like Marilyn, he is an honor student and entered the Pepsi-Cola Scholarship Contest. Phil takes the college preparatory course and plans to enter Rensselaer next fall.

Thirty-four THE LA WRENCI AN — 1947 Class History Everett Lumbert NNOUNCER: The makers of Lizard cigarettes present, The Memory Hour”, a program of memories that may bring back something you had forgotten. Today’s pro- gram is dedicated to the ’47 graduating class of Lawrence High, Lalmouth, Massachusetts. We hope you are all listening, but first a word from our sponsor: If you feel perfectly normal, you ' re not smok- ing the right brand. Switch to Lizard cigar- ettes! Lizard cigarettes are warmer, shorter burning, and stronger than any cigarette known. Ask for them today at the nearest morgue. That ' s Lizard” cigarettes in the midget size package. And now, the memory hour: — Narrator: Let us go back to the happy day you all entered school. Ah, that was a happy day! You were such a happy crowd. Remem- ber how you all laughed and sang, and how terribly glad you all were to at last be able to attend your first classes? Why, I can see it all now! ( Four seniors come in — two boys — two girls — Boys are being dragged by teacher. Both in unison — You ain’t getting us in no school. We’re going back to Donaldson’s mudhole. Wait till we get the gang together; we’ll all run away and be tramps!”) NARRATOR: Ah yes, you were glad to be go- ing to school, and that very first day friendships were formed. ( Argument still in background. Girls make faces at each other. All are led off- stage by teacher.) Narrator: Remember how fast those first few joyous years passed? Soon young love blossomed in the innocent hearts of some of your classmates — Oh, sweet love — (Af. Merrill and C. Mixer walk on stage hand in hand act- ing very bashful.) Narrator: And so young love blossomed, but alas, with the passing of the years the petals faded and today only weeds remain. But let us not grieve there are other, more pleasant memories. Narrator: Remember that great produc- tion ,nf all productions, that famous operetta, Awake. Tis Mav”? Yes, you were in the sixth grade then. Remember the excitement of rehearsals, the tension of opening night, and finally the curtain going up? ( . Tassinari. J. Miller. J. Carl. C. Solberg. Merrill etc. sing Awake ’Tis May” — Kids voices — do ballet — exit. Earthworm scene — Phil Peterson, girls . ) Narrator: And so the years passed on, you advanced to Grade Seven, and then Grade Eight and then Grade Nine. Ah yes, when you represented the Ninth Grade — what mem- ories that year brings back! Remember the traffic officers? Oh, you were proud of those belts, boys. Remember how well those girls names looked in ink on the white background? And remember that class election, those stun- ning speeches and the final results. Handy and Wilson of Liberator Party elected to Presidency, Vice-Presidency and Treasury, by wide major- ity and Merrill of Pederalist ticket sneaked in as Secretary! Ah yes, your first real taste of Democracy! And then, of course, your memorable prom! Remember how you slaved day and night to make the gym look like something else besides a gym? And you can’t forget how tragedy struck. How June, the spark plug of your social committee, fell while adding the finish- ing touches to your work and broke her arm? But she was not undaunted; before the last dance had been played that night, she was there and dancing, too! But wait, the best is yet to come. Remember that day of days, your graduation to Senior High School! Remember how you wore out your shoes (and teachers) with constant drilling? — Why, it seems like only yesterday. ( H . Handy, M. Merrill, P. Goss, other seniors march down stairs in disorder. — B. LaForest directing at bot- tom. A. Kirts at top. — Try over few times.) Narrator: Oh, it was hard at first, but fin- ally the timing was perfect. ( Group comes down again still in disorder, slumped over, etc. march back stage.) Narrator: And remember the reception you received upon your arrival in dear old Lawrence? (P. Peterson stands on stage hold- ing up blank sheet of paper) Narrator: And so began your sojourn in Lawrence — Remember that Sophomore year how you slaved to make vour«elves known? Ah, you were an industrious class — The firsr thing you did was re-elect class officers and increase your class treasury bv leans and bounds. Why, you even won the Lawrencian Campaign that year! Your boys were dis- LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL tinguishing themselves everywhere. Bill Lopes and Dick Wilson joined the Navy and the State Guard was honored by three others too young to fight. The school athletic program would have been in a sorry state that year also but for the services of our boys. Remember those gallant six — Lopes, Cummings, Peterson, Mixer, Kirts, and Oliver? Ah, but let us not forget June and Paulina. They did their part al c o in the cheering section. Honors galore fell upon your class, and with heads held high you marched into your Junior year. ( Pianist plays march ) Narrator: The Junior Class — What honors you reaped! — Was there ever a more industri- ous class? From the very first you got off to a flying start by electing your first woman president. Femember. June? Remember how you and Phil and Red and of course Marilyn did everything you could to make your class meetings more efficient? ( Curtain goes up one member of cl ass is seated before class officers Phil holds gun. Red holds large knife.) June: The first person who talks gets what’s coming to him! ( Curtain drops) Narrator: Was there ever a more efficient class? Remember those dances and of course your never-to-be forgotten card party? Why, Everett Lumbert even got third place in the zone finals of the American Legion Oratorical contest that year. Remember the coke con- cession and those food sales and most of all athletics? Lawrence High would have been lost without the services of your boys. That year the gallant six of ’45 were joined by Jim Cash. No matter what the sport your boys were in there fighting. ( Jim Cash and Ed Peterson dressed in football equipment walk across stage . ) Cash: I’m going to carry the ball! Peterson: No I’m going to carry the ball! ( Repeat twice) Narrator: Yes, they were always in there fighting! But let us not forget the cheerleaders. Ah those cheers, can’t you still hear them thun- dering in your ears. But wait there’s still more; Marilyn Merrill, Janet Carl, Myron Medeiros, and Bob Sawyer attended Girls’ and Boys’ State, respectively, and Joan, June, Marilvn, Froso, and Bert represented the class in the New Britain Music Festival. What a wonder- ful year that was! — Yet all good things must come to an end and so it did. Yet, the dearest memories are yet to come. What memories will ever compare with those of your Senior year? Thirty-five Narrator: Your Senior year! Will any- thing ever make you forget it? The Lumbert, Miller, Merrill, and Peterson government got off to a slow start it’s true, but soon money poured into your treasury from all sides. Re- member that football raffle, the first semi- formal of the school year and, of course, your memorable performance Miss Jimmy”? Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Quick and your Social Committee, Lawrence High once again began presenting an annual play. Oh, but that was only one of your accomplishments. Remember how Lee Cordeiro won the honor of being Miss Lawrence High”, and how your ways and means committee once again took over the coke concession and brought wealth to your class? Remember the smiles of joy on your class athletes as they were given those letter jackets. True, their football and basketball records did not go down in history, but they were good and after the way your baseball squad chalked up victory upon victory you have everv reason to remember and be proud of them. Even the girls basketball team reaped honors by smash- ing Sandwich 10-4. Remember how your four C.S.P.A. delegates and Mrs. Jorgenson brought home the top honors for your Law- rencian when they returned from New York and how twenty-three of your classmates took Washington by storm and probably gave Tru- man another gray hair? Yes, your class really traveled that year, even Brattleboro was paid homage to by the Senior music lovers. Narrator: Yes, you music lovers even went as far as to produce a show. Will you ever be able to forget that musical of all times, Jewels of the Desert”? Lee Cordeiro again reaped honors that year bv being chosen as your orom Queen, and Janet Carl won the honor of being chosen as the D.A.R. representative. Even Ev- erett Lumbert came out of hiding to visit Bos- ton again where he was a speaker on the Junior Town Meeting of the air. but the great- est honors of all were received bv your Class Brains Phil Peterson and Marilyn Merrill, who were elected to have their names cast in bronze on the Henry Herbert Smvrhe Roll of Honor. Yes, it was a full and exciting year, that Sen- ior year of yours! We know you have not forgotten it. And so we bring to a clo«e to- day’s Memory Hour”. We hope you have en- joyed it and now from our sponsor. Remember this. If you just want a smoke, smoke Liz- ards”; they’re dipped in mud!

This pro- gram is brought to you through the courtesy of the Harry Peter’s Broom Store. ( We had to put it in to keep it clean.) Everyone is here in original graduation robes worn 25 years ago. An air of joyous feeling permeates the room. (Grouchy faces and fight starts.) We will start the program with a few words from our Alumni president, Everett Lambert. Mr. Lum- bert, would you say a few words for our audi- ence? LUMBERT: Unprepared as I am ... ( Lets go long manuscript — roll of paper towel) Announcer: Thank you, Mr. President.

And over at my r ight 1 see General Tom Oliver , who is home on leave from the army. What do you have to say about army life. General Oliver? Oliver: (In pathetic voice) I wanna go home! Announcer: And beside the general sits Virginia Crocker , who now holds the office of chief plug at the telephone company. Over on the edge of the crowd I see Donald Gray , who recently gained renown through his cross- breeding of a homing pigeon and a wood- pecker to produce a bird which, when it re- turns home, will knock on the door to be let in.

Sad as it may be, we have to make this following announcement: Peg McAdams, who, as you know, worked in the shoe factory, was accidently shipped cut in a box. A shoe box that is. ( Ed Peterson strolls in, sits down ) Ah, I see Ed Peterson has just arrived. Come on over and say a few words, Ed! What have you been up to in these twenty-five years? Peterscn : Well, between road trips with the Dubiliers and rainy days in Wissy’s Barn, I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy. Announcer: Ah, sounds like an interesting life, Ed. Is she still knitting for you? (Laugh- ter by stooges, Ed laughs it off, walks back to table. ) There ccme Dolores Barboza and her Royal Barbers — Jim Cash and Manuel Barrows.

(Laughter by stooges) ( Dick Cummings en- ters) Ladies and gentlemen, I see that ag- gressive, stupendous, gargantuan, mammoth Dick Cummings, the brutal football hero of Lawrence High days.

He’s still sweeping the floor And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, I’d like to introduce to you a gentleman who has been a leader of men for many years. Mr. Louis Marshall, an usher at the Old Howard . . . . Gentleman, have you noticed these wonderful do-nuts? They are supplied by The Mary Cant- well Do-Nut Shop. She got so attached to the machine at Ten Acre that she bought it and started in business for herself. By the way where is Al Leonard ? Oh yes, I forgot. He’s down in Woods Hole running off 70,000 free games; he finally hit the jackpot after 25 years . . . I should like to propose a toast to Barkey Macbeth, who is in Maine making $500 a week. He got the job through that uncle who was really making the big money back in our school days. (Louise Martin enters) Oh hello, Louise. What have you been doing all these years? LOUISE: I’m still working at Huntting Motors. ANNOUNCER: Really? Found any lately? ( For the benefit of those who do not get this humorous bit of badinage, we are Talking about Motors. Hunting motors. Get it? Hah, hah! ) And here are those two successful au- thors, Art Williams and Horace Aledeiros who made their millions publishing that great book entitled — ah — ah — The name has momentarily slipped my mind.

( Enter Lee Cordeiro ) (Announcer and about five guys all whistle and shout. Two guys faint after exclaiming Boing”, or some suitable term.) LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Announcer: Hell-oh! When did you get back in town, Lee? Lee: I am just driving through with my boss, Orson Wellstein, the movie producer. Rally, rally, I don’t have much time, but I thought I ' d look in on the ole gang. Announcer: It sure is nice to see that one of our stars in L.H.S. made out in the world. ( Enter Marilyn Merrill ) Merrill: What do you mean, only one of our class made out in the world. Do you real- ize that I am the greatest scientist alive? I have just perfected the most marvelous, the most amazing new product for men and women! Announcer: What is it? Tell me about it? Merrill: It’s name is Einh-einh-awnh. Einh-einh-awnh is a new type of ketistan that takes away all sorts of facial blemishs, includ- ing scars, pimples, blind and dated, and men. In fact, I have brought a satisfied customer with me, to show you my terrific results. (En- ter Joanne Tassinari, with bag over head.) Oh come, come, don’t be bashful! Come on, take the bag off. (Joanne Tassinari takes bag off, but there is no head ) . Oh, oh, something went wrong. I think that in my formula I used the Ohn-ohn-einh instead of the Einh-einh-awnh. Announcer: Those things do happen. And over here 1 see Lester Silva. Wherein lies a strange story in itself. No one seems to have been able to find out how it was that he re- mained in the Anderson Purge of 1946. (Enter Peters with shot-gun) Peters: I’m through fooling around with this commercial question. When am I going to get my store plugged? Announcer: (Impatiently) Keep your shirt on. Well put it on any time now. And now a word about the Shirley Child ' s Hearing Aids. It — Well, that’s a word. A short and ineffective word, but nevertheless, a word. To more solemn things. In short, a moment of silence. A moment of silence for those two dearly departed members of our class, Newky Cassick and Paulina Goss, who died when one of their fights in Physics class broke out into open warfare and they killed each other with those overworked dissecting needles. Sorry we couldn’t bring you Myron Medeiros tonight. But he made the mistake of putting a decimal point in the wrong place and taking home the Thirty-nine difference. Thereby ended the accounting days of poor Myron. He should be here for oui next reunion, in 20 years. Of course we all know that Genie Malzan became a police- woman, but what some of us may not know is that she sent Alan Lunn to the hospital as the result of a rough Ju-Jitsu exhibition. Over to my left, folks, who should I see but Janet Carl, that renowned society reporter and owner of Ye Old Sparkplug Shoppe”. And by the way, where is your old side kick, Alice Murphy Carl: She and Shirley Soza are having a gay time being the toast of Noo Yawk. You’ve of course heard of Lana Grable, that terrific new movie star? Announcer: You don’t mean that . . . Carl: Yes, they sure are the toast of Noo Yawk. Every morning they get up and make Miss Grable’s toast. What a terrific couple of toasters those gals are! ! Announcer: Well, that’s nice. ( Claire De- Mello scoots in on scooter and hands an- nouncer a slip of paper.) It gives me great pleasure to announce that Caroline Solberg has just been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for the best Tall Tale of the year. Leave it to Sol. In case any of you desire to continue your edu- cation, Paula Hildreth has established a school — East Point, near West Point, East Point is a girls’ military school. Let us hear from two of Lawrence s alumnae who are teachers at East Point. (Efrosini T siknas and Paula Hildreth enter, marching and yelling hip-two-three-four, etc.) Well, what rugged individuals! ( Paula and Froso grab announcer ) PAULA: At East Point we train our women to grab at any chance. Announcer: Listen, sister, this isn’t a lot- tery. Have you gals heard about Liz Monterio and Esther Peters ? ( Murmured No’s by group) They are hairdressers now. It seems that they have made their first million on a wonderful new invention to keep hair in. Some Kid: What is it? Announcer: A Paper Bag! ! ( Gwen Clough enters upon the scene) ANNOUNCER: OK before Harry makes his grand entrance and blows us up with his shot- gun. Gwen: Ladies, I have just the thing for you. Your worries are over. Let us make you over. Mag Macbeth will design a new chapeau, a hat, Forty THE LA WRENCIAN— 1947 for you; Angie Figuerido will design your dress; and Rut tote Rose will give you a colossal rub-down. You’ve heard of John Powers, haven ' t you? You ve heard of Harry Conover, Hm, well, now it’s . . . Announcer: Yes, yes, yes? ? ? ? Gwen : Macbeth, Rose, Figuerido, and Jones, makers of new women. Announcer: Who’s Jones? Gwen: Jones? Announcer: Yah, Jones, J-O-N-E-S Gwen: Oh, he’s the janitor. They ' re so hard to get these days that we had to give him an interest in the business. ( Please, let’s have some laughter by our good ole pals, the stooges ) Announcer: Oh, I see. And over there is Dr. Donald Q. Beauchemin, Ph.D., M.C.P., S.M., P.D.Q., and D.D.T. One of the few stu- dents to continue academically, Dr. Beauchemin was recently elected dean of M.I.T., Mashpee Institute of Technology. And here on my right sits the only millionaire the class produced. Mr. Gordon B. J. (No relation to that certain gas pumper of yesteryears) Delaney , Esquire. While polishing the brass in the Five and Ten, he discovered a liquid that would turn it to gold. He now winters down south — Woods Hole. (Enter Marcia McLaughlin) Hi, Mash-ah. How have things been with you all these years? Marcia: Things have been great. What with getting up at five in the morning to pre- pare my husband’s breakfast, feeding the ten kids at six, doing the washing at seven, the ironing at eight, going out to clean house and wash windows, too, then coming home at seven at night, getting supper for my husband and ten kids, and going to be at eleven after doing the ironing and mending, I really have a great life. Announcer: Really? Well, now this is something interesting. Harry Handy , it’s good to see you. Harry: Boy, am I celebrating. I just signed Jack Cavanaugh up for another season on my terrific basketball team, the Woods Hole Cut- ters. ( Enter Marsha Beebe ) ( Peters comes in, with shot-gun and axe) Peters: Hi, friend. Going to get around to my commercial pretty soon? Announcer: Yes sir, the next one, Harry, you can rest now. (Takes gun and axe) Marsha: Oh please, I need this time for my commercial. Please Harry, can’t I have this time? Peters: O.K. O.K. Marsha: Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to ride in a smooth riding cab? Try my new cabs with the new installed SUPERHET- ERODYNE RECEIVER. They are CHEAPER! And as chief cabby, I have Elsie Barrows. But of course, we have to be careful of her. Announcer: Why, Marsha? Marsha: She has a nasty habit of climbing telephone poles with the cabs. Announcer: Hmm, that is bad. Well, here ' s Ernie Baker. How are things going with you? Baker: I invented a new type of boat. It’ll really be great for those people who hate to go sailing. It’s too heavy to float. Announcer: Among the distinguished who are not here tonight but with whom our thoughts dwell, are Virginia Bowman , who, I hear, is the Cass Dailey of West Falmouth: Leola Erskine, assistant to the assistant to the assistant to the assistant of the President’s secre- tary’s secretary’s secretary has a highly impor- tant job. Eva Soares is a highly efficient clerk in the new L.H.S. ( James Tavares, who has been walking back and forth across the stage every five minutes or so, dressed in Art Williams’ Bear coat and with a water glass in his hand, is stopped by announcer. ) Announcer: By the way, buddy, what are you supposed to be doing? TAVARES: Who me, oh, there’s a building on fire over there. (Continues off stage) Announcer: Well, that’s enlightening, but now to bring our show to a close. One last cheer for the class of 47”. Old and haggard cheerleaders ( June Miller, Barbara Brown, Sheila ,W htte,s.nd Barbara Her- sey ) stagger on stage. They proceed — Yea class, Yea ’47, Yea-Yea Class of ’47. (Peters rushes on stage) PETERS: Wait! You can’t close the show without my commercial. Announcer: That’s right. All right, kids, you might as well do that thing. ( Barbara Hazelton and Bob Sawyer come out in front of mike, open mouths but curtain drops and program off the air” sign goes on ) THE LA WRENCI AN— 1 947 Forty-one Class Will ]oanne Tassinari, Marilyn Merrill, Louis Marshall , and Marcia McLaughlin NNOUNCER: Hello, you lucky people! You are about to be introduced to that famous new product designed especially for Juniors by the medical department of the SPCTPU. Is the suspense killing you? No? Well, it will. Try the product finally un- earthed in the modern laboratory of the SPCTPU after years of sacrifice. You ' ll love this delicately scented new product. Get it at your nearest drugstore, Walgreens (oops, we let that plug slip, didn’t we? ) What is it? Oh, it’s supposed to remove dandruff. The name of this grand product is cmmumtrotuluene, more commonly known as Snowflake, manufactured in the laboratory of the famous hair specialist, G. I. Scratch whose headquarters are located in the LHS building in Falmouth. And now the makers of Snowflake present Adios, Adieu, So long for Now”, a thrilling dramatization of the last will and testament of our dear departed Class of ' 47. ( In deep sonorous tones ) Good evening everyone. This is Alden Prigwell bringing you the story behind the story of the last will and testament of the class of ’47. In my capacity as head of the SOCIETY FOR PRE- VENTION OF CRUELTY TO TEACHERS, PRINCIPALS, AND UNDERCLASSMEN, I will bring you the full details of the will and shall not deviate from the facts presented me by our competent legal advisor, Glenwood Glu- cose, Office Hours 2-6, every weekday. Prigwell: And now the facts . . . We, the graduating class of the year of our lord, 1947, being of sound mind and of sound body do hereby bequeath the following to persons men- tioned herein: Fuzzy English would like to leave the Amoco Station to Kenny Snith who has a good sup- ply of gas and air to go into business for himself. Fuzzy would also like to leave his long-hair appearance to Hank Hall. For Heavens Sake, why don’t you cut it? Phil Peterson leaves his quiet demure manner- isms to George Lumbert. After all George is so shy! — and we don’t want to forget him. The next person to leave . . . Announcer: Here I am attain, folks. I just stopped by to remind you of that wonderful new product of modern civilization Snowflake. This remarkable aid to mankind has many uses. It is absolutely guaranteed to wave straighten, or even remove undesirable hair. In addition, its wonderful lubricating proper- ties enable it to be used in your automobile, wdthout damage to the car. Remind mother or father or even Uncle Alphonse to get some today, now! You won’t be sorry if you try some, in fact you probably won’t even be around. And now back to Alden Prigwell. Prigwell: Amen, as I was sayin’ before I was so rudely . . . Oh, excuse me Mr. Scratch, before I was so opportunely interrupted by our announcer. Would you like to say a few words to the audience before I continue? Scratch: Dow-w-w-w-w-w-w Prigwell: Thank you, Dr. Scratch. You have just heard that brilliant scientist Dr. Scratch, our sponsor. Ahem. To continue. Tubby, you remember the mistletoe. We know you would like to save it for Lorraine; so you don’t have to leave it. Gigi Lopes and Art Williams have often filled the main hall with happy sounds of laugh- ter. They would like to leave their hearty laughs to Kurt Smith and Herky Croft. Re- member boys, a good laugh is always pleas: n to hear. As to the fairer sex — Janet Carl leaves her h gh- pitched giggle to anyone in the underclasses who doesn’t know how to laugh. Maybe next year the Tsiknas twins will be biv enough to work in the telephone office if they divide Marcia McLaughlin’s 5’ 8” be- tween them. Red Perry is getting to be a big boy and we think it’s time he began to shave. Harrv Handy leaves him his beard and also his razor if he wishes. The Junior Class has its oomph girls too. Bar bara Hersey bequeaths her title to Janet Fen- stermaker, an up-and-coming young oomph girl. Everett Lumbert wills his oratorical abilitv to Bob Kendall. We ll have a William Jen- nings Bryan yet! It seems that Jinnv Crocker has trouble keen- ing warm in Mr. Craig’s history class. In Forty-two THE LA WRENCIAN — 1947 order to prevent an epidemic of colds next year, she leaves her coat to the next person who feels a little chilly in the cellar. Another member of the Senior Class disproves the old adage You can ' t take it with you”. Paulina Goss is definitely taking Newkie with her. Phil Peterson leaves directions for caring for the latest automobile models to Gussie Tol- lios who has one of the most streamlined models we have yet seen. Those two charming vocalists of the Senior Class leave the Anniversary Song” to Joan and Pat. By that time next year it will have become the school song, we hope. Marsha Beebe and Carleton Mixer will their good nature to Janet Fenstermaker and George Fish. Darn it . . . We’ll get you mad yet — Arthur Kirts, that funny man of the year, leaves his jokers to anyone with a sense of humor strong enough to take it. Froso ( sound effects, bang, bang) Tsiknas leaves her bangs to Kaleroy Hatzikon. She wants to keep it in the family. The Fuzz Amoco Club leave its Harmony???? to Miss Cahoon with hopes that she can use it. Harry Peters and Dick Cummings will a well- worn road map of Hyannis to any Tuniors who might want directions for that thriving metropolis. And — last but not least — the Seniors leave with the hope that next year someone in the Sen- ior Home Room will be able to play the piano. It makes it so helpful! ! You know what we mean. Announcer: And now, friends, we will have a short intermission while two of our customers demonstrate the unlimited possibil- ities of Snowflake. (This commercial is acted out by two boys to demonstrate the unlimited possibilities of Snowflake. ) 1st. boy: Hi, Herman, your looking swell. Got a light? Herman: (giving his lighter) Yeah. 1st boy: Got a cigarette? Herman: (gives him a cigarette) Yeah. 1st boy: Thanks. Hey, what’s wrong with your lighter? Herman: Uh, well I guess . . . 1st boy: (interrupting him) Yep. Just as I thought, out of fluid. Here, it just happens I have a Bottle of Snowflake I was bringing to my girlfriend who uses it in her bubble bath. She thinks it’s wonderful. Try some in your lighter. It’s absolutely guaranteed to be unex- tinguishable once it’s ignited. After all, it con- tains trinitrotuluene. You’ll never have to worry about your lighter once you’ve tried Snowflake in it. Herman: (impressed) Gee that’s great! Yes folks, Herman thinks it’s wonderful and so will you once you’ve tried Snowflake. Fol- low Herman’s examole today and obtain your Snowilake. We’re giving awav free samples in the lab immediately after the program.

But graduation or Commencement, as the name signifies, is also the beginning — the be- ginning of a life for us in a world of unlimited opportunities. It is a challenge to take our education and use it advantageously so that we can become worthy and intelligent citizens. We must make the most of these opportun- ities by continually striving for higher and higher goals. We must accept this challenge and prove by courageously striving for a better world that we are worthy of it. Forward ever, backward never”, is the mot- to which exemplifies the class of ’47. We have it in our power to achieve future greatness. We must try to create a better world and thus show that we are worthy of the power which has been given us. Let us go into the world together, ready to attain new and glorious heights. The future, classmates, depends on us. Farewell Janet benstet maker ' C ' ORWARD ever, Backward never , this is your motto. You, the graduates of 47”, stand hopefully at the threshold of a world filled with chances for success.

Others of you will make a start in business. But what- ever your choice may be remember your motto — Forward ever, Backward never”.

Sights LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Fifty-five On To Washington Janet Carl and Gwen Clough CUNDAY morning, March 30, dawned sparkling and dear. Twenty-five of us in- cluding our chaperons, Mr. and Mrs. Russell B. Marshall, gathered at Lawrence High to leave for Washington, D. C. We were piled bag and baggage into private cars which took us to Providence where we took the eleven o’clock bus to New York. Arriving in New York about six o ' clock, we went to our hotel, the Lincoln, and Mr. Mar- shall assigned our rooms. We were told to meet in the lobby in an hour because we were all going to see Icetime” sponsored by Sonja Henie. Mr. Marshall told us that after the show he had tickets to the radio broadcast Crime Doctor” for anyone who wanted to go. You can imagine that we all jumped at the chance. We had to be ready to leave New York at 8 a. m. sharp Monday. It was then that we met the other pupils who were going with us. We found out that three other schools were to ac- company us in two busses. In our bus the Dover students (fifteen in all) of Dover, Mass., were our traveling companions. We soon got acquainted and were swaooing school songs and jokes. Just before reaching Wash- ington, we stopped at the beautiful Franciscan Monastery where we were conducted through the building. We reached Washington and the Hotel Cairo, our hotel, about six that eve- ning. Our time was our own until eight Thursday morning when we started on our tour of Washington, with a guide to point out places of interest. Our first stop was at the Lincoln Memorial after which we went to the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Ar- lington Cemeterv in Virginia where we wit- nessed the changing of the guard. After lunch we left for Mt. Vernon. On the wav. we saw the private olane of the Presi- dent, the Sacred Cow”. After an hour or so at beautiful Mt. Vernon, we once more headed for Washington. We made a brief stoo at the Tefferson Memorial before going to the Wash- ington Memorial where many stout souls walked to the top. We had just enough time before dinner to go through the Smithsonian Institute. Although we spent about two and a half hours there, we felt as though we had not seen everything. That evening we went to the Congressional Library. The library is said to be the most beautifully decorated building in the world, and because we were there in the evening we were able to appreciate its beauty to the fullest extent. We spent about an hour in the Li- brary, and as our bus was taking us back to our hotel, a funny thing happened. Mr. Marshall stood up and asked for the attention of the Falmouth kids. I don ' t care what time you come in tonight so long as it is fairly early,” he said. But I do want you to call me at 635” (that was his room number). A startled shriek came from Marsha Beebe as she gasped: In the morning?” We had Thursday morning free, but noon found us all ready to start out for the Shenan- doah Valley. As usual the bus rang with our songs and cheers, which soon turned into loud exclamations at the beautiful scenery. That night we were divided into groups and taken below our hotel bv elevators into the Shenan- doah Caverns. We all marveled at the manv strange formations of nature. A dance fol- lowed this tour and all four schools were in- vited to attend. I think that that hotel will live in my memorv forever, because it was there that at five-thirty in the morning — some bright characters got up and plaved Heart- aches” over and over full blast on the juke-box while some of us respectable souls tried to sleep. Next morning found us so sleepy that all they could get out of us for a while was Head- aches. oh how my headaches - - to the tune of Heartaches . After a delicious breakfast, we wended our weary way into Pennsylvania. We visited a snake farm where we saw a 35 foot rattler and other types of southern snakes Fifty-six THE LAWRENCIAN — 1947 (any reference to any living characters is pure- ly coincidental ) . Later on we were shown through the Gettysburg battlefield where we saw many statues erected to our Civil War dead. Friday night we were in York, Pa., where we were lucky enough to stay at the York- town Hotel about the most exclusive hotel in the city. We were given the night free by our chaperons and divided up into groups for bowl- ing, skating, or the movies. Most of us were home early so that we could fully enjoy the luxury of the hotel. At eight sharp Saturday morning we again piled into the buses to make our way to New York. Around noon we wen t for a tour through Valley Forge, where we saw George Washington’s headquarters and the Valley Forge Chapel and Museum. That afternoon brought us a bit of bad luck. Our bus broke down and we were told that we would have to wait two hours for another. The Dover group was forced to crowd into the other bus and leave us as they had to catch a six o’clock train home from New York. We were very sorry to see them go. The rest of us passed the time in Frankport, Pa., eating and looking around. Our bus finally arrived, and we en- tered the big city again at about eight Saturday evening. We went to our rooms in the Lincoln Hotel where all of us cleaned up for our tour through NBC. This was one of the most in- teresting places we visited. We saw everything from floating” studios, to sound effects, and television. Louise Martin, Gwen Clough, and Tubby Mixer were selected to appear on tele- vision. The rest of the evening (what was left of it! ) was spent in wandering up and down Times Square or at separate parties. The next morning was Sunday and the last day of our trip. A few of our group went to early masses at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. We didn ' t have too much time in New York be- cause our bus left at 11 a. m. Most of Easter Sunday was spent traveling, as we did not ar- rive in Providence until 6 p. m. There we were met by cars which took us home. We were all tired and had many happy memories and had made many new friends, but Cape Cod fog never looked so good to us.

Will we ever forget the night of May 17 and the gay festivities held at the charming Cape Codder Hotel? It was a beautiful sight to see the 200 students and guests, formally attired in tux- edos and long flowing gowns, dancing to the heavenly music of the Nix Nax musicians from Chatham. Bouquets of pale yellow and maroon carnations, fancy streamers, and graceful palms decorated the dance hall in a most distinctive manner. Highlight of the evening was the crowning of the first Prom Queen of Lawrence High School. Miss Lee Cordeiro. beautiful brunette Senior, was chosen as the lucky lady to receive the coronet of flowers. The traditional Senior grand march followed, lead by the class officers and their guests. Refreshments, including cookies, cup-cakes, and punch, were served to the guests at their tables on the sidelines. Ninth grade girls who efficiently acted as the waitresses were: Lor- raine Houston. Cynthia Swift, Rita Belanger. Ann Thobae. Virginia Merrill. Florence Beve- lander, Connie Crairt Jean Cantwell, Claire Palmer, Natalie MacDoueall. Members of the Senior Prom Committee were: Marsha Beebe, Chairman; Virginia Crocker, June Miller, Dottie White, Donald Francis, Donald Gray, Donald Beauchemin. The group of ushers, ninth grade boys, who conducted each couple through the receiving line included: Charles Sample, Bob Lopes, Her- bert McAdams, Frank Schroeder, Dick Thobae, Joseph Parent. Patrons and Patronesses for the occasion were: Mr. and Mrs. Russell B. Marshall, Mr. and Mrs. Aloye Jorgenson, Mr. and Mrs. John B. Quick, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur L. Harper. Graduation ]oanne Tassinari T he beginning of the graduation activities of the class of 1947 was marked by the baccalaureate service hedl at the Methodist Church, Sunday, June 8. The Reverend Philip A. Aherne spoke before the student body and the members of his congregation. The following day class day exercises were held at the Hall School auditorium. The wel- come was given by Everett Lumbert, president, followed by the will, prophecy, history, and gifts. The program was presented in the form of a radio broadcast in which most of the stu- dents participated. At the close of the pro- gram, the audience moved to the lawn where a tree was planted and the Hymn of Loyalty sung. That evening the Class Banquet was held at the Surrey Room in Crane’s. Tuesday, June 10, was the actual day of graduation. The Class of ’47 was one of the largest in several years and many parents and friends were present. The seniors, dressed in maroon caps and gowns, marched in to the Tannhaeuser March by Wagner. This was followed by the Invocation by Reverend Jos- eph Powers, and the Welcome by Everett Lum- bert. Mr. Philip Cummings, the Commence- ment speaker, gave an address entitled, De- mocracy Grows Up”, £nd Mr. Paul Dillingham, Superintendent of Schools presented the dip- lomas. Mr. Russell B. Marshall announced the various awards to honor students. The Fare- well was given by Marilyn Merrill, honor stu- dent and class secretary for four years. The program was ended with the Benediction by the Reverend Leslie F. Wallace. With the help of Miss Olive Cahoon, music supervisor, Bertram LaForest and Everett Lum- bert combined their talents to write the class ode. Janet Carl and Arthur Kirts were in charge of production of the Class Day program. LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Fifty-nine C. S. P� A. Coiiveetioii MARCH 20 Marilyn : Wednesday morning, five eager C.S.P.A.’ers — Marilyn Merrill, Gwen Clough, Barbara Brown, Joanne Tassinari, and Bert La- Forest — and their advisor, Mrs. Aloye Jorgen- son ( then Miss Kathleen Arenovski! ) set off for the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Convention in New York City. Phil Peterson and Arthur Kirts drove us to Providence where we took the 2:00 p. m. train for New York. We arrived about 6:00 p. m. and went straight to our hotel, the Victoria, a fine place and in the center of everything. That evening we were in store for a treat. Mrs. Jorgenson met a college friend of hers and they took us to the Stockholm” where we were initiated to Swedish smorgasbord. We had never had anything like it before, and were delighted and amazed at the choice of food for us. After dinner we went to Radio City Music Hall, a perfectly gigantic theatre. The stage show, especially the Rockettes” was good and the movie, Sea of Grass”, was entertaining. When the show was over, we walked up and down the Great White Way”, and then back to the hotel, tired but thrilled with our first day in this teeming metropolis. MARCH 21 Gwen Thursday morning dawned cool and rather misty. Our time was our own until 1:30. Most of us made a beeline for Fifth Avenue where we alternated between actually shopping and window shopping. At 11:00 we met Miss Arenovski and Mrs. Robert E. Luccock, the former Miss Barbara Follansbee, for a very enjoyable lunch . The opening session of the convention held at Columbia University started at 1:30 with Director Joseph M. Murphy presiding. Turner Catledge, assistant managing editor of The New York Times then addressed the conven- tion on the importance of journalism in world peace. At 2:30 our delegation broke up to attend different lectures located in the various build- ings of the university. I went to the main hall of the Teachers’ College to hear Richard Crandell. Photography editor of the New Y or Herald-Tribune speak on News Photograohv . After his lecture. Mr. CrandeU was readv to answer anv of our questions. The others cov- ered equally interesting meetings. LAWRENCIAN EDITORS Left to right: Janet Fenstermaker, Marilyn Merrill, Cynthia Eldred. At 3:30 most of us attended an interview with Bob Hawk, radio star of CBS quiz shows. Mr. Hawk was very entertaining and we all had an opportunity to ask him questions. The interview broke up about 4:30. We then went back to our hotel where we made rapid prep- arations to meet Miss Arenovski and her cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Louis F. Schiff and their son, at Chinatown for a real Chinese dinner. All I can say is that after the fifth course I think we just ate automatically. It was really delicious and Mr. Schiff kept us in very good humor with his good-natured bantering. Soon, much too soon, however, we had to say good- bye to our friends in order to arrive on time at the Adelphia theatre where Street Scene was playing. The play was extremely good and we all enjoyed it very much. Nevertheless, we were glad to get back to our hotel and to bed. Thus tired but happy, we ended our second day in New York. MARCH 22 Bert : The voice of the desk clerk at 7:30 a. m. Friday morning informed us that it was time to start off on another day. We had breakfast in the Candlelight Room” at the Victoria and immediately moved on to Col- umbia. Upon our arrival there, we learned, after much effort to do so, that our magazine had won a Medalist Award a most encourag- ing tribute to our efforts. After this, we joined the other delegates on the library steos to have a group picture taken. We were a cozy litttle group standing there (all three thousand of us, that is.) Lunch was our next welcomed Sixty THE LAWRENCI AN— 1947 undertaking and this was followed by a number of lectures which w ' e attended during the af- ternoon. Some of us took time out to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Then we rushed back to the hotel and after a quick change we once again ate in the Candlelight Room” since we were already late for the theater. That evening we attended The Im- portance of Being Earnest starring John Giel- gud at the Royale Theatre. MARCH 23 Joanne: Saturday we were allowed to sleep late — till 8:00. After being partially awak- ened from a sound slumber by a nauseatingly cheery voiced desk-clerk, going through the usual routine of informing the maid we were out of soap again, and dashing after the rest of the group which was already half way to our destination, we finally arrived at Columbia University. After stopping here for a short breather, we hopped a bus (the wrong one as usual ) back to the Hotel Astor. Here, we at- tended the banquet, the final scheduled event of the convention. We had passes to the main ballroom, and after proudly pushing our way through several thousand delegates, we finally found a good table by the speakers’ stand. Af- ter a sumptuous turkey dinner, the lights were dimmed and a procession of about 50 waiters and waitresses carrying ice cream cakes with lighted candles marched around the hall. It was all very impressive and, well fortified with food, we sat back to listen to the speaker. Col. Hans Christian Adamson, who was with Eddie Rickenbacker on the raft and author of the book The Raft, told of his adventures. When the banquet was over, we staggered back to our hotel and flopped for the first rest we ' d had since our arrival in the metro- polis. Later, as refreshed as possible under the circumstances, we prepared to go out for din- ner. Bert suggested a place which his brother had described as a very conservative restaurant ( a hole in the wall ) so we trudged all over New York looking for it. We finally found it on the other side of Central Park. Charles a la Pomme Souffle” certainly looked conser- vative but when the waiter began to rattle off in French the menu we were slightly thunder- struck. Not daring to let on that we had hard- ly understood what he had said, we all said yes to the first item he had mentioned. It turned out to be roast chicken. From there, we went back to town and attended an ice show. It was the first for some of us and we enjoyed it. However, we weren’t disappointed when we could get back to the hotel and to bed and proceded to succumb to Morpheus. MARCH 24 Barbara : The final day of our New York stay rose mistily in the distance. So did we. A few of us ventured to St. Patrick’s Cathedral to hear Msgr. Sheen at mass. We lunched at the Brass Rail on Seventh Avenue. By that time it was about one o’clock. The time to go was getting nearer. After piling into a cab, bag and baggage, we alighted at Grand Central Station. Were we glad to leave? It was mixed with pleasure at leaving and sorrow at leaving. There was always another time, we assured our empty wallets. Mrs. Jorgenson, (then Miss Arenov- ski) wished us away on the Yankee Clipper. We wished her success and happiness in her forthcoming marriage. We were tired. No, we were dead. A very uneventful ride to Providence. Then Miss Charlotte Holden, school nurse, drove us home. What a conventional time w r e’d had! Lawremcian Wins Medalist Award O NCE again the Laurencian received top honors at the annual C.S.P.A. convention in New York City. For the fourth time, the publication has received a medalist award, one of the highest ratings given. It has held first place twice and it has also held all-Columbian honors twice. In 1942 and 1945 in the Eastern Massachu- setts Scholastic press association it received a certificate of merit. Last year, the Laurencian received another honor from the National Scholastic Press As- sociation at the University of Minnesota when it was awarded the All-American Honor Rat- ing. The Laurencian has grown from the small pamphlet formerly published at L.H.S. in 1929, the Voice. Before that the first magazine to be published at the High School was the Pioneer, which first appeared in 1902. LAWRENCIAN BUSINESS MANAGERS Laura Erskine, Genevieve Ferreira, and Louise Martin.

SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer George Fish Nancy Clark Priscilla Jennings Cynthia Augusta VVTELL, Dear Diary, it doesn’t seem possible, but it’s true. June is here again. For most of us our Sophomore year has gone by in a flash. Let’s hope the next two will, also. As we depart for our summer vacation and sum- mer jobs, we recall the happy experiences that we have had this past year. Let’s see now. SEPTEMBER — At our first class meeting we elected George Fish president, Priscilla Jennings secretary, and Cynthia Augusta treasurer. Tommy Roberts was elected social chairman and Franie Irving was elected chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. The Singing Sophomores are Blanche Morris, Priscilla Jennings, Nancy Clark, Cynthia Leighton, and Marciana Fonseca. These are members of the Glee Club. We Sophomores didn’t do very badly at the swim meet and bathing beauty con- test held at the Cape Codder Hotel. In fact, we did very well ( that was taken for granted right along). Nancy Dean with the help of Franie Irving, won the swim meet for us. Pat Leonard, Nancv Clark, and Claire Illeen were our elected bathing beauties. Of these, Nancy Clark was vot- ed the Sophomore beauty. Competition for Rita Hayworth. OCTOBER — Football is here again. George Fish, Lawrence Costa, and Dick Corey are our great contributions to the team this year. I don’t see how they can lose any games with such cute cheerleaders as Doris and Nancy to cheer them up. We Sophomores claim two of the of- ficers of the Fal-Pakka Club. George Fish was elected vice president, and Nancy Clark was elected secretary. The members of the L wrencim who are home room representatives in the Sophomore Class are: Room 22, Francis Irving; Room 21. Louise Bennett; and Room 24, Art Mello. NOVEMBER — Just as the old year goes out and the new year comes in, so does foot- ball go out and basketball come in. Our girls on the basketball second team are Franie Irving, Cynthia Augusta, Bonnie Cummings. Martha Rogers, and Marciana Fonseca. Our boys on the team are Dick Corev, Ted MacDonald, George Sawyer, and Tommy Roberts. DECEMBER — Two high flyers of the Soph- omore class are Sondra Ofstrock and Greta Jensen who won second and third prizes in the Airmail Essay Contest. The Sophomore rooms have 100% in Junior Red Cross. Janice McLane is cap- tain of Room 22, Sondra Ofstrock of Room 24, and Louise Allen of Room 21. JANUARY — Well, here we are back again from our Christmas vacation and all ready (I only tell a lie occasionally) for a new semester. MARCH— Are we proud! A SOPHOMORE w ' as elected to represent L.H.S. at the Red Cross Rally in Cleveland. Congratulations to Nancy Clark and also to Franie Irving who came in second. The Sophomores are going to have a party ! ! Zip, Zip, Hurray and Three Cheers ! ! Of course, it is going to bo no ordinary party, not with the Sophomores giving it! It’s going to be a roller skat- ing party! The campaign has only been running for three days and already tick -s have been bought by the truckload and no wonder with every member of our class selling tickets, the Juniors and the Seniors ( Continued on Page 76) LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Sixty-three Class of 1948 Patsy Graham , ' 48 B ELIEVE it or not, the Junior Class has done quite a lot this year. Just to give you an idea; we have listed some of our many ac- complishments. You’ll have to agree that the Juniors shone in the Sportlight . For example, what would the football team have done without Bob Ken- dall to push through the line; Curt Smith, Bub Malzan, and Phil Stewart to back him up; with Kenny Smith to carry the ball. Frank DeSouza has been elected Captain for next year’s team. In basketball we started off with flying colors — Shootin’ Star Smith, his side kick Bub Malzan. and Jerry DeMello on the first team — and — of course, our One-and-Only Jack Hadley, Richard ( not Red ) Perry, Bob Kendall, and Bernie Balona on the second. Last, but by no means least, we have four Juniors on the baseball team. They are: Smith ( Kenny, that is ) , Balona, Croft, and Perry ( again, not Red ) . We can’t drop the subject of sports with- out bringing up the girls’ basketball teams. The first team boasted eight Juniors: Liz Tsik- nas, Captain; Gloria Hatzikon, Bette Mac- Dougall. Ann Nickelson, Mary Tsiknas, Joan Marshall, Pot Graham and Liz Salthouse. The second team, three: Charlotte Martin, Janet Fenstermaker, and Frances Hilton. There are also several gals on the softball team, ’nuff said. That will give you an idea of what the Juniors have been doing in sports in their spare time. Before we tell you about the two simply wonderful dances we sponsored; perhaps we had better point out some of the outstanding individuals of our humble class. Honors go to Charlotte Martin, the Glee Club piano pounder. You are doing a neat job, Char. Janet Fenstermaker and Phyllis Fisher really looked sharp in their bright red uniforms, dur- ing football season, and they gave out with some pretty snappy cheers too. And what would the Oratorical Contest have been without Robert L. Kendall, Jr.? We mean Bob, of course. Best of luck to Joan Marshall and Janet Fen- stermaker at Girls’ State, and to Bob Kendall and Gussie Tollios at Boys’ State. If you run Left to right: William Viega, Harold Croft, Gussie Tollios, Janet Fenstermaker. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer Gussie Tollios Harold Croft Janet Fenstermaker William Viega for any office, even if it is only assistant gar- bage collector,” we hope you get lotsa votes! We have a prize winner in our midst — Marjorie Myers. The reason: because she wrote such a fine poem titled Rules for the Verb. The prize: a year’s subscription to a magazine of her own choice, given by the Lawrencian. So remember if you even need a verse, call on Margie. Speaking of the Lawrencicn , we seem to be represented twice, several times on the staff: Associate Editors, Janet Fenstermaker and Cyn- thia Eldred; Assistant Literary Editors, Kaleroy Hatzikon and Marion Marshall; Business Man- agers, Laura Erskine and Genevieve Ferreira; Circulation Managers, Bob Kendall and Mar- ilyn Ingram. The seniors elected a very capable marshal, Kenny Smith. If Kenny can’t keep them on the beat, no one can. Watch him dance and you will see what we mean. ( . , . , )— No. that space isn’t a printer’s error. That is being reserved for next year’s senior honor students. Sixty-four THE LAWRENCIAN— 1947 Let is assure you that the brilliant Juniors (there must be 20 or 30, at least) are waiting for next year to blossom forth with their A s. Now that the ribbons have been passed out, we will tell you what our social committee — Gwen Lee, Jack Hadley, Janet Fenstermaker, and George Lumbert, headed by Bob Kendall and Phyllis Fisher — has been doing. Our first dance, the Football Rally Dance, was held at the Rec the night before the Col- umbus Day football game. George Lumbert was Master of Ceremonies. Need we say more? Our next dance was Feb. 16 also at the Rec; and, as you ' ve no doubt guessed from the date, was a St. Valentine’s Dance. That gave us a good excuse to adorn the walls with hearts, cupids, and many red and white streamers. Punch and sandwiches were served at inter- mission. Everyone had a good time, at least that is the way you usually end a paragraph like this. We also have many Musically-Minded Jun- iors. For example, in the Glee Club there are 23 Juniors. Thirteen of these members at- tended the Music Festival at Brattleboro, Vt., and all 23 helpei compose the cast of the operetta lewels of the Desert. The orchestra has six Juniors in it. Barbara Hilton .Frances Hilton. Maty and Liz Tsiknas, Gloria Hatzikon, Pat Graham. Joan Marshall, Janet Fenstermaker. Phyllis Fisher, Marjorie Myers, Bette MacDougall. Charlotte Martin. Eleanor Barr) - , and Liz Salthouse, Jack FESTIVAL DELEGATES AT BRATTLEBORO Hadley, George Souza, Kenny Smith, Galen Powers, Bob Kendall, Gussie Tollios, Phil Stewart and Bub Malzan are in the Glee Club. Charlotte Martin plays the piano, Gussie Tol- lios the cello, Mar}’ Tsiknas and Kaleroy Hat- zikon the violin, Liz Tsiknas the clarinet, and Bette MacDougall the oboe in the orchestra. MUSIC FESTIVAL: Ah, yes, Brattleboro, that wonderful spot, where the music came out of ever} ' hill, ( little mountain, that is ) . From the Junior Class twelve went up there to sing and Bette MacDougall to contribute her oboe to the band. They are: Phyllis Fisher, Pat Graham, Joan Marshall, Mar} ' and Liz Tsiknas, Kaleroy Hatzikon, Charlotte Martin, and Jack Hadley, Phil Stewart, Gussie Tollios, George Souza. Bob Kendall and Eleanor Barry. THE OPERETTA — As you know Jewels of the Desert was an operetta presented by the L.H.S. Glee Club, but the jewel came from our class. We mean Joan Marshall, of course. Gussie Tollios and Bob Kendall supplied the comedy with Tack Hadley bellowing a scream of warning ever} ' now and then. Mary and Liz Tsiknas. Phyllis Fisher and Bette Mac- Dougall and her oboe added the necessary ' at- mosphere. Not to forget that Dick Brackett made a fine father for Joan. Were there any Tuniors in the chorus? Why, natch!! Kaleroy Hatzikon. Pat Graham Barbara Hilton, Frances Hibon. Liz Salthouse Eleanor Barry ' . Tanet Fen- steTnaker, Cvnthia Fldred and Marjorie Myers, and Kenny Smith. Bub Malzan. Phil Stewart. George Lumbert. and George Souza. We said in the beginning that we would list some of our accomplishments, but we seem to have covered about everything. This is just a preview of what we plan to do in our senior year; so just watch us. There is no tell in what we may bring forth.

Seasickness caught up with the boys who came directly from Mar- tha’s Vineyard. The crimson wave was smack- ed down 30-28 by a second half rally by Abing- ton High led by Movey, who popped 15 points in the second half alone. Lawrence led by Peterson spurted to a 9-5 lead at the quarter and a 16-8 margin at the half. But as the second half opened, Abing- ton, with no small help from Movey, who scored no points in the first half, moved up and at the third quarter it was tied at 20 all. The last quarter was a hectic affair with Lawrence leading 28-26 with 25 seconds left to go. The green and white obtained possess- ion and Movey threw in a bucket shot. Law- rence aeain lost possession and Movey sunk a pivot shot from the foul line with 3 seconds left. That was all except for the scoring lnurals. Ed Peterson played a great ball game considering he had a lame right hand. Movey of Abington played possum for a half, but in the second half turned out to be the fastest lame man in the world. Smith and Cash each dropped in a basket with Cummings and Kirts getting two bi-pointers apiece. Baseball Resume I F things go as they’ve been going up to the time this article is being written, it is more than probable that the L.H.S. nine of ’47 will finish off their unbroken string of vic- tories by bringing home the Cape Champion- ship. Doing a repeat of last season, this year’s squad has remained undefeated in all of its first nine engagements. Up to the present mo- ment the boys from Lawrence have scored 84 runs against the total of only 11 for all then- opponents combined. Such a record is well deserving of high praise. This season’s chief line-up includes: Arthur Kirts-C; Ed Peter - son-P; Jim Cash-lb; Ken Smith-2b; Richard Perry-3b; Jerry DeMello-ss; Bernard Balona-lf; Tom Oliver-cf; and Harold Croft-rf. What will happen next season without the all important services of Peterson, Kirts, Cash, and Oliver, cannot be prophesied but no dark cloud seems to be hanging over Lawrence and when the umpire says, Play ball” in ’48 it is entirely possible that the Falmouth boys will head down the road paved in the two years before them.

The purpose of this organization is to run the center’s activities and in this manner the members themselves can decide what activ- ities are most suitable for the teen agers of Fal- mouth. The 100 members of the club have specialized in giving informal dances which are fairly well attended as a rule. A series of informal Friday night dances are being held for a charge of ten cents. The money taken in will eventually go towards providing a regu- lar orchestra. In addition to dancing, pool and ping-pong tournaments are popular and the participation in these is very good. The officers of the club chosen by anyone who cared to vote are, Everett Lumbert, presi- dent; George Fish, vice president; Gussie Tol- lios, treasurer; and Nancy Clark, secretary. Present advisor at the center is Mr. August Canty, who has promoted many activities and inspired participation in the various projects. A search for a name for the club was fruit- less until a critical letter was received from someone using the pseudonym, Aunt Hep”. The person suggested the name Fallacies” be- cause everything seemed to go wrong at the center. An antonym for fallacies was found, pakka, meaning, unity, truth, stability, know- ledge, wisdom and understanding. The club wished to stand for all these fine qualities and the name Fal-Pakka was derived from Falmouth and Pakka. Seniors Win Essay Contest W INNERS of the essay contest sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary are two honor students, Janet Carl and Phillip Peterson. For their prize winning essays on America’s Contribution to World Peace” each was presented a prize by John B. Quick at a short assembly May 8. Senior Wins Airmail Contest M ARILYN Merrill, honor student and edi- tor of the Lawrencian, was awarded a prize for her essay on the future of Airmail. The contest was sponsored by the Post Office and Marilyn was awarded a prize of seven dollars for her article. Seventy-three M ISS Janet Carl, tne Lawrence High School representative of the D.A.R., selected by teachers and students has many honors to her credit, making her a worthy choice. In addi- tion to being an honor student, she has won first prize in the peace essay contest and has tried out for the Pepsi-Cola scholarship. She attended Girls’ State in her junior year and plans to attend B.U. Janet is a popular and active member of her class and L.H.S. is proud to have her to represent it. Senior Speaks on Junior Town Meeting ' C ' VFRFTT Lumbert, Senior Class President, -L with June Miller as his alternate, repre- sented L.H.S. on the radio program, Junior Town Meeting of the Air”, held in Boston on May 24. The subject discussed in the forum this year was Are parents as good as they used to be?” Each participant gave a 350 word prepared speech and extemporaneous talk on this sub- ject. The purpose behind this debate was to find out whether parents are really to blame for the wave of juvenile delinquency whi ch is sweeping the country. The entire program was broadcast over WBZ and WBZA at 2:30 P. M., and afterwards the participants were rewarded with a banquet given in their honor. Junior to Attend Boy Scout Jamboree in France R OBERT Kendall, president of the class of 1948, has been chosen by the National Of- fice of Boy Scouts to attend the international Boy Scout Jamboree in France this summer. Out of the 1,000 boys going from the United States, Bob is the only representative from Cape Cod. In the latter part of July, the Boy Scouts will embark from New York on a transport donate! by the army for their six weeks tour. The boat will stop at Liverpool, London, Le Havre, and Antwerp for sight-seeing tours and will go on to Moisson, France, where the camp is located. It is estimated that there will be about 65,000 scouts representing 48 different coun- tries. Following the encampment, the boys will make a three-day tour of Paris which is about twenty miles from Moisson. The Jamboree, which was formerly held every two years, is the first to be conducted since the beginning of the war. Seventy-four SENIOR WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE First row, left to right ' . Joanne Tassinari, June Miller, Mary Cantwell. Second row: Dorothy White, Sheila White. Third row : Lee Cordeiro, Efrosini Tsiknas, Elizabeth Monterio; Barbara Brown, Chairman, ( not in picture). Ways and Means Committee T HIS year the Ways and Means Committee did an exceptionally fine job of financing the senior class. Many projects were under- taken by the committee under the direction of Barbara Brown, chairman and each venture was successful. One of the most profitable was the raffle of the Army football while other activ- ities which enrichened the senior class were the Swimming Meet, the food sale, and the Christ- mas formal. A steady source of income was available during the football season when the seniors drew the coke concession. Without the cooperation of the students, our business ven- tures would not have been so successful and the committee would like to exten 1 its thanks to every senior who aided in all the projects. Army Football VVTHEN Johnny Irving, a ninth grader, said ▼▼ I ' m very happy to get it and 111 certain- ly treasure it, he was referrirg to the Armv- autographed football he won in a senior raffle at a rally before the Thanksgiving Day game. Chances were sold and Tommy Oliver, who suggested this ingenious money-making pro- position, won a prize for selling the most tickets. THE LA WRENCIAN— 1947 Assemblies T HE series of assemblies presented this year proved to be entertaining and interesting as well as educational. Included in the series were: William Wallace, Mental Marvel ' , Irwin A. Williamson, a deep sea diver who showed movies and told of his adventures under the sea; Pitt Parker, crayon wizard ' , William Hack- er, concert pianist and conductor of the Arkan- sas State Symphony; and Harvey Davies, pianist and entertainer. JDramatist Performs M ISS Christine Coleman, a representative of the Becker College Dramatic Department, entertained at an assembly in the main hall May 21. She presented a monologue of the first act of Life With Father by Russell Crouse and Howard Lindsay and a short humorous skit entitled, Why Teachers Say Yes”. Miss Coleman came to Lawrence High last year and both her performances will be re- membered for their quality and humor. Miss Jimmy Presented T HE seniors presented a three-act farce en- titled Miss jimmy under the direction of Mrs. John B. Quick in the Hall School audi- torium on February 5. Members of the cast included: Louise , Peggy McAdams; Floretice, Marsha Beebe, Kitty, Vir- ginia Crocker; Doris, Sheila White; Harriet, Lee Cordeiro; Miss Watkins, Jeannie Malzan; jimmy, Everett Lumbert; Droopy, Donald Gray; and Prof. Frazier, Bert LaForest.

MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS Brattleboro Miuisie Festival Janet Carl T HANKS to the combined efforts of Miss Cahoon, Mr. Marshall, and the people of Falmouth, nineteen of us who are members of the L.FLS. Glee Club were able to leave for the New England Music Festival in Brattleboro, Vermont, on April 19. The group of us met in front of the high school at 8:00 a. m. and were transported on our long journey by Al- meida ' s Bus Service. The bus rang with school songs and cheers continually, and the only lull occurred when we stopped in Greenfield, Mass., for dinner. Upon arriving in Brattleboro, we were driven to the various private homes to which we were assigned. Each of us were also given meal tickets, which would allow us to eat at the different churches, and cards which would let us into the planned activities. Work began the first evening, for a rehearsal w ' as scheduled for the night of our arrival. As most of us belonged to the chorus group, we tramped up to the Green Street School where we be- came acquainted with Dr. Charles Woodbury, our conductor. After the rehearsal a dance was held in the Community Hall for all members of the Festival. The next few days were nothing but a series of rehearsals. We sang morning, noon, and night, but no one ever complained about the hard work because it was fun. The hills were what wore most of us out. At last Saturday, the day we had look- ed forward to for so long, arrived. The morn- ing was spent at rehearsal and in taking pictures. That afternoon we gave a concert w ' hich went out over the Keene network. This explains why many Falmouth parents were un- able to hear their youngsters sing. At the evening performance all members of the chorus and orchestra were dressed in evening clothes, while the band wore uniforms. Another dance was held after the concert as a sort of farewell gesture. Sunday, April 23, found us again pil- ing into Almeida’s bus, tired, but happy to think that we had taken a part in such a won- derful undertaking. Seventy-six THE LAWRENCI AN— 1947 SENIOR HONOR STUDEN ' iS Janet Carl, Phillip Peterson, Efrosini Tsiknas, Marilyn Merrill. Achievement Tests Given E ARLY in April all students from tne nincn grade up were given achievement tests com- piled by the Iowa State University and designed to establish the scholastic standing of each stu- dent in comparison with that of other students all over the country. The tests, which lasted a day and a half, were conducted by teachers of Lawrence High and the Hall School. The re- sults were discussed individually with Mr. Marshall who pointed out weak points and suggested means of improvement. Students Take Entrance Exams A GROUP of seniors went to the Barnstable High School in Hyannis last April 12 for the purpose of taking their college entrance exams. They were given a choice of the sub- jects they wished to be tested on. These in- cluded aptitude tests, mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics, French, German, English, and spatial relations. The tests lasted all day and will enable the students to enter any college if they pass. The results have not yet been an- nounced. Seniors who took the tests are; Ar- thur Kirts, Barbara Brown, Philip Peterson. Marilyn Merrill, Gwen Clough, Virginia Bow- man, Bob Donnelly, Donald Gray, Barksdale Macbeth, and Donald Francis. Class of 1949 ( Continued from Page 62 ) don’t seem to be populating the halls any more. On March 27, our party was the most wonderful, magnificent, and stupendous party there ever was (Sophomore’s opin- ion ). About 160 people were there and w ' e even had to turn some away! ihat just shows what we can do! Pat and Hank Hall won the prizes lor the best hoy and girl skaters, and also, they were the best couple skaters. But, as they al- ready had a prize, Red Francis and Phyllis Fisher got tne prize for this one. Corneil- ius Soliz won the prize for the most im- provement during the evening. Jean Cant- well won the door prize, and Vincent Covill won a pillow. Guess what for! APRIL — We sent some super Sophomores to play baseball this season. Fred Bowman (a second Bob Feller), Hank Hall, David Theall, George Sawyer, and Dick Corey. Now we’ll show the Red Sox that they aren’t the only team in Massachusetts. And speaking of sports, three cheers for Dick Corey, George Fish, and Lawrence Costa who received an L.H.S. Jacket. It seems that Falmouth will see various individuals wearing L.H.S. T-shorts this summer, for today the Sophomore class ended a successful T-shirt selling cam- paign w ' ith Franie Irving in charge. A total of 135 will not go shirtless this summer. MAY — A few Sophomores have been dif- ferent by maintaining certificate grades throughout the year. They are Pauline Peterson, Janet Pierce, Greta Jensen, Pris- cilla Jennings, and Dick Mellor. And that’s that for the Sophomores. Our thanks and appreciation go to Miss Patricia Moorman, Miss Lucille Ogden, and Mr. Leo Burgoyne for making our first year at L.H.S. what it was. We’ve had a wonderful year as Sophomores, but cross your fingers because next year we ll be Juniors. Junior in Oratorical Contest R OBERT Kendall, L.H.S. Junior and Presi- dent of next year ' s Senior Class, honored L.H.S. by winning third place in the American Legion oratorical contest held on March 23 in Sandwich. He was chosen from this school to participate in the contest and succeeded in be- coming one of the finalists from the Cape Cod district. Each speaker was allowed ten minutes to give a prepared speech on some phase of the Constitution, and Bob chose as his subject, The Riehts and Responsibilities of an Amer- ican Citizen under the Constitution.” LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Seventy-seven Standing , left to right : Gussie Tollios, Dick Brackett, Joan Marshall, Bert LaForest, Robert Kendall.

MISS L.H.S. T EE CORDEIRO, winner of the coveted title. Miss Lawrence High , is well on the road to a successful career in modeling, which is her ambition. Lee, a senior, was born March 22, 1929, and, before coming to Lawrence High, attended the Fuller School for Girls in Fairfield, Conn., where she took a general course. Since coming to Falmouth, she has been an active member of the Ways and Means com- mittee and is co-chairman of the Senior Play Committee. Lee, in spite of this honor, is just another average teen-ager. She likes horseback riding, dancing, and apple pie a la mode. Her favor- ite subject is English and, to quote Lee, she is happiest when in Sheboygan, Wis.” Patronize Our Advertisers pillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllM 1 SECRETARIAL | J DAY SCHOOL EVENING SCHOOL BOARDING SCHOOL j TYPEWRITING SHORTHAND ACCOUNTING 1 Cape Cod Secretarial School jj 242 Ocean Street, Hyannis, Massachusetts — Telephone 1372 % DAHILL PHARMACY R.
