LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Seven GRADUATES Eight THE LAWRENC IAN — 19 4 8 Messages to The Class of 1948 Paul Dillingham Superintendent O F the many valuable assets you carry away from high school one of the most satis- fying is the friendships you have made. These friendships should be continued and nourished, lhat does not mean that you should be other than your own self with your friends, because real friendships overlook peculiarities and weaknesses and are based on more permanent and fundamental characteristics. They are not necessarily the result of complete agreement on all matters; but of a mutual understanding and, usually, of a similarity of interests. People are drawn together by liking the same things, by doing the same things, and by work- ing together tor the same things. None of these activities inevitably results in friendships, but they do bring out qualities in people that are not otherwise evident. Friendships cannot be forced. You cannot just decide that you and A. Student are going to have an undying friendship, because A. Stu- dent may have other ideas on the matter. Friendships are usually involuntary; they have a slow, gradual growth because it takes time for your personality to unfold to another. Your good qualities gradually become evident; so do your weaknesses. But the former are so appeal- ing that the friendship grows, not because of, but in spite of, your weaknesses. No real friendship is onesided; you have to give in order to receive. Where there is a privilege there is always a corresponding ob- ligation. One of the fundamentals of friend- ship is trust. Never doubt a friend. It is bet- ter to get hurt once in a while by one who proves unworthy, than to let a friend down when your confidence and help are needed. That is when you prove your real worth as a friend. Think of the motto of Lawrence High School and apply it to your friendships, for when all is said and done, there are not too many things in life that are more satisfying and worthwhile than friendships. Russell B. Marshall Principal T HE event that you have looked forward to for so long is here. Ten years ago it seem- ed like an eternity away. Five years ago it still was something in the dim and distant future, but now you are ready to graduate. What does graduation mean to you? Is it the end of your formal education or is it to be the firm stepping stone to other things that you want and expect it to be? You may ask your- self these questions and many more. The an- swers you will find in yourselves. Graduation as you approach it should be the step between two great events in your life: your training and your future. If you take this step with confidence in yourself and in the future, then 1 believe that the years of training have been a worthwhile investment. I have a great admiration for well-mannered, poised, and confident young people. Their very bearing radiates confidence and ambition. They are not know-it-alls ' , but they are the people who will find the right answers. I admire the open minded individual that listens well, that weighs facts carefully, and then makes up his own mind. I enjoy the person that is interested in people and in many things, that is, who is curious and anxious to learn something new. 1 admire the person that is tolerant, not smug; ambitious, not staid. It is my opinion that you as members of the Class of 1948 have some of these traits, that you will go forward with the zest, the interest, and the spirit of cooperation that you have ex- hibited in your school life here at Lawrence High. Make your graduation a firm stepping stone between an adequate training and a future filled with the better things in life. Make your future life one that will provide you with pleas- ant memories of jobs well done, of thoughts of kindness and of many true friends. I can think of no better wish to you as you leave Lawrence High.

You have helped us on our way, And now we ' ve reached this farewell day. Though we are leaving Lawrence High, Our thoughts of you will never die. All your memories, sad and gay, Will forever with us stay. And breathing now a parting sigh, We bid you all a fond good-bye.

Galen Powers. Phil Stewart C AN it be possible? (This is one question you will nnu many seniors asking them- selves.) Here we are ready to graduate and make our way into the world, when it seems as if it were only yesterday that we came over to Lawrence High School to find our new seats. We thought we were really big, now that we could go off the school grounds for lunch and attend the senior socials. Our first important event was to elect class officers. It was time for a change — Harold Croft was elected President with Vice-president Joan Marshall as his side kick. Octavia Bento was elected Secretary and William Veiga, Treasurer. For sophomores, we were exceptionally mus- ically inclined. The school orchestra elected all sophomore officers. Bob Kenaall was Pres- ident, assisted by Gussie Tollios as Vice- president. Charlotte Martin was elected Secre- tary-Treasurer. The violin section included Mary Tsiknas, Kaleroy Hatzikon, and Ann Dexter. Betty MacDougall bravely tackled the oboe, while Phil Stewart was our blaring trumpeter, and Bob Kendall tried out the drums. Charlotte Martin was assistant pianist. The sophomores were a definite majority of the glee club. In the spring they attended the New England Music Festival at New Britain, Conn., and the festivals at Gloucester and Need- ham, Mass. The glee club fully enjoyed their trips to Boston to see the Mikado and Song of Norway”. Our boys started off their first sports’ year in high school with a whale of a bang! Frank DeSouza, first string tackle; Kenny Smith, Phil Stewart, and Gussie Tollios, halfbacks; Galen Powers and A1 Malzan, ends; Bob Kendall, fullback. Mary and Liz Tsiknas, Joan Marshall, Ann Dexter, Pat Graham, and Kaleroy Hatzikon were our first enthusiastic basketball players. On the boys’ team Kenny Smith, A1 Malzan, and Richard Perry started as forwards. On the diamond Kennv Smith, Harold Croft, and Jerry DeMello made the school team as utility infielder, outfielder, and pitcher, respec- tively. Our first year in Lawrence High, being a successful and happy one, we enthusiastically started off our junior year by electing Constan- tine Dimitrios Tollios as President; Herky Croft, Vice-president; Janet Fenstermaker, Sec- retary; Bill Veiga, Treasurer. To be sure, the juniors hit the highlights in the sport s review. Crusher Bob Kendall crushed opposing linesmen; Curt Smith, Bub Malzan, and Phil Stewart backed him up, with Kenny Smith to carry the ball. On the basketball court we found Shootin Star’’ Smith, his side kick A1 Malzan and Jerry DeMello on the first team. And of course our One-and-Only ( ihank God for little favors) Jack Hadley; Richard Perry, Bob Kendall, and Bernie Balona on the second. Liz and Mary Tsiknas, Kaleroy Hatzikon, Pat Graham, Joan Marshall, Ann Nicholson, Betty Salthouse, Betty MacDougall, and Frances Hil- ton made up the first team on the basketball squad. Janet Fenstermaker and Charlotte Mar- tin were on the second. Some outstanding individuals in our class that year were Robert Kendall who represented us in the Oratorical Contest and the Girls’ and Boys’ State representatives, Janet Fenstermaker, Joan Marshall, Bob Kendall, and Gussie Tollios. Again the music department was well repre- sented by many juniors in the presentation of the operetta, Jewels of the Desert” and in at- tendance at the music festival in Brattleboro, Vermont. Also in the person of our able ac- companist Charlotte Martin. One of our last and most important functions of our junior year was to elect class officers for the following year. Bob Kendall was unani- mously elected President; Gussie Tollios, Vice- president; Janet Fenstermaker, Secretary; and William Veiga, Treasurer. The fall of September, 1947, started our last and best year in Lawrence High School. Social Committee Chairman Betty Freeman and her committee started off our senior year with a gala event. We renewed a practice which has been disregarded for the past few years. It was to initiate all sophomores at a formal initiation dance which was socially suc- cessful and financially a flop. T hirty-two THE LAWRENCIAN — 1948 Co-chairmen Eleanor Barry and Octavia Ben- to with their committee of seven: Pat Graham, Pat Hall, Charlotte Martin, Harold Croft, Galen Powers, Jerry DeMello, and Berme Balona la- boriously carried out cases of coke and other candy delights to the football field, where the first big bright spot was the cheering squad, gaily clad in their red and white uniforms, yelling their heads off for the gallant victorious football team led by Captain Frank DeSouza with his squad, which boasted many seniors, of whom were: Kenny Smith, quarterback; A1 Malzan, end; Bob Kendall, fullback; George Souza, halfback; and Bill Swift, end. Many compliments go to Phyllis Fisher and her squad, including Janet Fenstermaker, Joan Marshall, and Betty Freeman. It was at this time that Falmouth and other surrounding areas experienced one of their worst fires. Our junior firemen — Kenny Smith, George Lumbert, Gussie Tollios, and many more of our able bodied young men spent sev- eral hours aiding firemen to extinguish the fire. As in the two years previous, the music de- partment was the most popular extra-curricula activity with the seniors. Glee club members were: Pat Graham, Jean French, Joan Marshall, Jean Lafond, Esther Peters, Mary Tsiknas, Liz Tsiknas, Kaleroy Hatzikon, Janet Fenstermaker, Betty Freeman, Eleanor Barry, Betty Doukas, Betty Salthouse, Hermine Goguen, Phyllis Fish- er, Bob Kendall, Jack Hadley, Dick Brackett, Bernie Balona, Joe Hanley, Gussie Tollios, Galen Powers, and George Souza. Sixteen of the glee club members attended the annual New England Music Festival at Portland, Maine. The entire glee club attended the New England Band and Choral Festival at Brockton, Mass. Senior members in the newly organized band are Mary and Liz Tsiknas, Kaleroy Hatzikon, Bob Kendall, and George Souza. A very newly organized group which was named the Selected Choir, included Joan Mar- shall, Pat Graham, Nancy Clark, Janet Fenster- maker, Phyllis Fisher, Eleanor Barry, Phil Stew- art, Bob Kendall, Arthur Mello, Jack Hadley, George Souza, and Gussie Tollios. This group was greatly praised for their many performances about town. Cheering basketball rooters excitedly fol- lowed the tracks of Shootin ' Star Smith, A1 Malzan, and Jerry DeMello, our first string men. To hold up our team when the glory boys” became over-fatigued were Jack Hadley, Bob Kendall, and Bernie Balona. This year the girls ' basketball team held a more encouraging record than in previous years, with forwards Ann Nicholson, Kaleroy Hatzi- kon, and Betty Salthouse. To hold off the op- posing forwards were Pat Graham, Mary Tsik- nas, and Frances Hilton. Joan Marshall and Liz Tsiknas were team managers. Having concluded the fall and winter func- tions, we proceeded to make plans for our rough, but enjoyable journey to New York and Washington, D. C. A small group held a paper drive, radio raffle, and other social events to raise sufficient funds. Our trip to Washington was one which, to a few, will leave very fond memories and will never be forgotten. In the early spring Mr. Lagroe took a small group of seniors to Abington, Mass., to take part in the Junior Town Meeting of the Air. Bob Kendall spoke on the affirmative side of the question, Should a National Health Law Be Passed?” Others participating in the pro- gram were Liz Tsiknas, Betty MacDougall, and Jack Hadley. We are proud to mention that Frank De- Souza and Janet Fenstermaker were elected Mr.” and Miss Lawrencian at a Lawrencian Campaign Dance. Miss Fenstermaker was also our D.A.R. repre- sentative. Now that our last year in Lawrence High School has drawn to a close, we leave with the memory of these facts and many others which we shall never forget. WASHINGTON GROUP FUND Constantine Tollios A group of enthusiastic seniors got together and organized as a unit to raise money to defray expenses of the Washington trip. They sponsored many activities such as a bridge and whist party, a paper and scrap drive, a raffle, and a food sale. On the whole, the group raised over $200 which entitled each individual to $10.13- The group included Olinda Rose, Jaquie DeMello, Genevieve Ferreira, Octavia Bento, Mary Sambade, Elizabeth Salthouse, Frances Hilton, Kathleen Norris, Anne Nichol- son, Kaleroy Hatzikon, Elizabeth Tsiknas, Mary Tsiknas, Jack Hadley, Jerry DeMello, George Lumbert, Dick Brackett, Bernard Balona, Joe Hanley, Gussie Tollios, Bob Kendall, Phyllis Fisher, Pat Graham, Charlotte Martin, Janet Fenstermaker, and Joan Marshall LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Thirty-three PROPHECY Fatsy Graham, Eleanor Barry. Louise Myers. Frank DeSuuza SETTING : The lobby of the Hotel Dill Pickle TIME: Sometime in the spring of 1968 The scene opens with Dick Brackett, the doorman, whistling gayly in front of the hotel, as Philip O ' Stewart out for his morning stroll pauses for a chat. In the course of the con- versation Philip finds out that there is to be a convention of the HARVEY ' S HARDWARE chain stores at the hotel beginning today, and that Mrs. Norman Cotter, the former Miss Charlotte Martin, is the Chairman. Their chat is interrupted as Professor Eliz- abeth MacDougall enters. The Professor an- nounces that she has just finished training a dozen bees to accompany her on the oboe and that she has come to the convention to dis- play them. As the curtain rises we find ourselves in the lobby of the hotel. Patsy Graham and Eleanor Barry, the two clerks, are busily sorting the mail behind the desk; Marjorie Myers is seated in one of the comfortable chairs trying to pick up all the gossip; Frank DeSouza, the house detective, is just wandering about; and The Tsiknas Twins, and Kaleroy Hatzikon are seated side by side with their heads buried in a news- paper. Betty is the first to break the silence by de- manding her room but as she recognizes Pat and Eleanor she asks how they happened to be clerks in the hotel. Eleanor explains that when Pat came to Saratoga they met at the races and lost practically all their money on the wrong horse. They pooled the money that was left to buy this hotel. After this tale of loss and gain has been told, Betty retires to her room. The phone rings and one of the clerks recog- nizes Evelyn Simmons. She is calling for a reservation for a room for Cecelia and herself; then she tells how they own a successful adver- tising agency. She is the business manager and Cecelia is the Art Director. Marilyn Ingram comes in and discovers Mar- jorie, so she starts to ask the news of all their old classmates. She savs that since she’s been married to Joe Hanlev she’s lost track of all her old friends, because Joe’s a traveling salesman and she troes with him on mo =f of his trios. Marjorie tells her that she is the Manager of one of HARVEYS stores and that she’s there for the convention. As Marjorie tries to con- tinue Marilyn interrupts to tell her that Connie Fernandes and Betty Salthouse heard of the shortage of men in Alaska and immediately went there to catch a man but apparently they couldn ' t run fast enough; because later it was heard that there were two lovely old ladies sell- ing sun lamps to the Eskimos. Marilyn starts to explain that Bob Kendall is running for governor on a new party whose platform insures better treatment for teachers and the feeble minded ( thinking of his class- mates, no doubt ) , but there is a terrific noise in the hall and she can’t finish. As the rumpus grows louder, we find that Bob was rehearsing an election speech and Frank not recognizing him turns him over to the two hotel policemen, Donnie Lehy and Herkey Croft, for disturbing the peace. Laura Erskine is head of all telephone oper- ators of America and is arranging a convention of supervisors to be held next week. Gussie Tollios walks through the lobby with one arm tightly bound in bandages. He ex- plains that he sprained his finger chasing an atom around the lab and he’s looking for the nurse Harriet Hodgkins. Rose Gomes, Elvira Rezendes, Ethel Tavares, and Irene Souza stumble in and meekly an- nounce that they are the wrestling team and want to know where the hotel gym is. Pat Hall enters, the famous Laurie Beee-Kool. Marjorie recognizes her immediately as the suc- cessor to Sally Keith. She strolls over to the desk to register for her suite of rooms. One of the desk clerks explains that their two best upstairs maids, Ann Nickerson and Jacquie De- Mello, haven’t ouire finished cleaning but that they will be ready in a minute. They claimed they found some pictures of Washington and New York and were reminiscing. Laurie, waiting, sits beside Marjorie and during the conversation Margie says that she saw Toanie Marshall wheeling her father to school in a wheelchair because he said he’d never give up till we got the new school. Laurie then remarks, adding to the gossip, that she heard Jerry and Bernie were stuffed olive Thirty-four magnates. Bernie holds the olive while Jerry pulls the Pimento through. Bill Swift one of the members of the con- vention goes to the desk to find out where the best show is. The clerks advise him to see Bill Veiga’s production of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” starring George Lumbert and Sandy Goguen, that is playing at the Aruda and Dunham Theatre. They also tell him that Life With Father ” will reopen soon with Betty Free- man’s two little red-headed boys as prominent members of the cast. Margie’s curiosity gets the best of her and she asks the clerks if the three things on the couch come with the hotel. They reply that THE LAWRENC1AN— 1948 Mary, Liz, and Kal were hired to give the lobby atmosphere. Curtain Falls ( long pause ) The Prophecy committee comes out on the stage. One of the members: Kids, are you as bored as we are? Wouldn’t you like to see this thing come to an end? Well, we re tired of the whole business too, so we decided to let you read the rest of it. We are able to bring back to this year of 1948 a copy of the first edition of the newspaper that prints only news of the future.” Many news boys rush out shouting, ' Get your papers here.

In the history of Lawrence High School I do not believe it has seen such an array of students. Yes, Freak Day” had arrived. The main room found itself over- run with an unbelievable assortment of char- acters”. The sophomores, juniors, and the faculty were amazed to find such celebrities as Gravel Gertie, B. O. Plenty, Adam and Eve (a la dressed), and even Humpty-Dumpty present. Along with these came a few intox- icated persons, adorned with signs, brooms, hot-water bottles, etc., reeling hilariously from side to side. There was also a lady football star ( very appropriately dressed for the oc- casion I might add), numerous sleepytime gals” dressed in long nightgowns, either with a nightcap on or their hair up in rags, and carryin.tr lanterns and o r her necessary items. In the midst of all these people (?) could be seen a South Sea Islander, a Mint Julep” gal, a few bums, a mummy, and a lovely ladv dressed in bloomers and blouse adorned with flowers and ribbons. Yes. it was a funny-lookine trrouo and i r carried mirth in its wake. Silly giggles and loud guffaws could be heard in the various classes as this group traveled from school to school showing off their togs”. LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Thirty-seven CLASS GIFTS Joan Marshall.

' Joan Marshall: 4es, i think wed better or well never finish. Galling iheresa Arruda. Theresa Arruda — Theresa, we ' ve noticed you trudging weaniy home after school. Because it is su«_n a ten me uistance, we thought that mis luiiti sKate wouiu help you bridge the miles. LLEAnor Barky — Eleanor, every time we see you, you are knitting socks, so here is an extra knitting needle in case the boys you meet in college have larger feet than the local yokels . Octavia BENTO — Octavia, as you are the co- chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, we would like to give you this nickel as a means ' ' to help you make your way”. Jacqueline DeMello — Jacquie, you are our new look” girl and so that you may keep track of the distance from the floor of the skirt hems, we give you this ruler. Betty Doukas — We thought that this rope would be very appropriate, Betty, so that af- ter you trip them you can tie them up to prevent their getting away. Janet Fenstermaker — As your neighbors in our home room have discovered, you are al- ways without a comb. Here it is, Janet, and please — hang on to it. Phyllis Fisher — Phillie, Times Square must bring back pleasant memories for you.

He is a Navy man, too, you know. Kalf.roy Hatzikon — Those sudden spurts of the giggles that come from you are very startling, Gloria. Would you do us a favor and ring this little bell when you feel them coming on? In that way we can prepare our- selves for the laughs to come. Frances Hilton — Frannie, we’ve heard that you and geometry do not get along too well. Will this protractor and compass help? Harriett Hodgkins — Because you are so quiet around school, Harriett, we sometimes wonder if you are still with us. Here is a noise maker so that you may really let people know that you are still around”. Norma Ferreira — You are our busy bee”, Norma, always rushing to and fro. To show our appreciation, we leave you this car so that instead of wearing yourself out by walk- ing (or running) you can ride in style. Genevieve Ferreira — Genevieve, since your sparkling personality kept us going on the Washington trip we’d hate to have you lose it, so whenever you feel low try some of this Frank’s Sparkling Water. It is good for what ails you. Irene Souza — Irene, it seems that you have had a lot of trouble with your gum -chewing, so here is a stick of gum to take the place of that which Mr. Lagroe has made you spit out. Charlotte Martin— Charlotte, we’ve been noticing the fact that on all of our ventures 1 hirty -eight THE LAWRENCIAN — 194 8 you’ve always been in a terrible hurry to get back in Norm-al.

JEAN Erench — Jean, your literary ability is well known (especially to a tew ot us; as being detinue and concise — in other words it is good. We think you ought to do some- thing with it.

For the girls ' sake, ask him to call you on your very own private line. Laura Erskine — Remember that trip to Ver- mont that you took a month or so ago, Laura? Does this airplane remind you of something? Alvira Rezendes — We’ve learned from cer- tain sources that there is a Tony in your life who carries a nickname that is a little differ- ent. Will this toy” help you remember him? Connie Fernandes — Since you are our tele- phone operator, we are going to give you this string. I hope it is successful in helping you hand out that line.

We would like to present to you this pad of paper and pencil as encouragement to keep up the good work.

Hereafter will one of you carry this whistle and the other this flashlight at night? Marion Marshall — Marion, we thought and thought for an excuse so that you might go to the Mills in Middleboro.

Well, to get you there quicker use this cologne to attract the attention of the boss. George Lumbert — That’s a nice boat that Herky and you built, George, but to make sure you don’t use the excuse of no wind on a moonlight sail we present you with these bellows.

Know- ing how well you like crowds we hope that she” will keep you amused most of the way in place of your little one” way out there. Kenny Smith — Ken, don’t you think that Mr. Cavanaugh would like to hear some of your jokes in Physics class? But before you start telling them, you had better look at this joke book for reference.

Bob Kendall — Bob, we think that you work too hard in school. We believe you should go out and enjoy yourself, and we took the liberty of writing to the Lonely Hearts’ Club for a date for you. I hope you like her. (A picture of Lena the hyena.”) Bernie Balona— It seems that you were quite the sweater boy this year by the talk that was going around. Well to remember your popu- larity as a sweater-boy, cherish this ball of yarn. Bill Swift — Gee, Bill, nobody ever seems to hear you around the school. Do the teachers frighten you? Well, anyway here is a mega- phone so people will be able to hear you. Galen Powers — We know that you are trying for your pilot’s license, but in case you don t make it take this plane and remember that we are always thinking of you. Frank DeSoliza — Frank, we realize the name you make for yourself in football, and to show you that we are thinking of you we are making you the honorary coach of TEA- TICKET PREP. Bill Lopez — I guess your greatest ambition, Bill, is to be a farmer. Knowing the condi- tions of Cape Cod, I think you’ll be needing this bag of plant food, Vigoro. Don Lehy — Knowing your extensive work in the sewage project in Woods Hole, Don, I think you’ll be needing this bottle of insecti- cide. Gussie Tollios — We fully realize, Gussie, just how much you love candy. To help you quench your desire we give you this Clark candy bar. Do you think that it will help? We do.

Forty THE LAWRENCIAN — 1948 Senior Classes LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Forty-one Graduation Farewell Janet Fenstermaker, Co-Editor Sandra Of. struck . 49 A T last that eagerly anticipated day has ar- rived, climaxing twelve years of schooling. But this is only the beginning. One door has closed but a new and better one lies open be- fore us. Our past years have been spent in broadening our interest, forming new acquaint- ances, and quenching our thirst for knowledge. Now we must apply all we have learned and prove that we are fully capable and qualified to take our place in this adult world. As the citizens of tomorrow, let us remember our motto, Honor lies in honest toil”. What- ever our chosen profession may be. we will strive to do our best. Only by doing what is right and abiding by humanity ' s laws, can we hope for success. We the Class of ' 48 have much to look for- ward to in this modern world of progress. A war has been fought to preserve the ideals for which we stand. As we take our place, let us strive to uphold these ideals of freedom and make this world a better place in which to live. « =� ■ After 25 Years UPER1NTENDENT of Schools Paul Dil- lingham was recently the guest at a banquet celebrating this, his twenty-fifth year in the Fal- mouth school system. Mr. Dillingham has con- tributed greatly to the development of Law- rence High School. Mr. Dillingham has been directly responsible for steady improvement in teaching methods and school functions. His conscientious and industrious work has shown results over the past quarter of a century. We are proud of his untiring efforts in our behalf to provide a new high school and improve the system of which we are a part. W E, the undergraduates of Lawrence High School, bid farewell to you the graduating Class of ' 48. Farewell and good-luck to you in all your chosen fields. To you who have chosen business as your profession, to you who are going on to further your education, work hard and diligently toward your goal of loyalty, honor, and service. Remember always your motto, Honor lies in honest toil,” and try to live by it, both in thought and deed. Be proud, hold your heads high and strive forward, never kx king back. Have faith in yourselves and others will have faith in you also. We shall remember all you have done for the honor and prestiee of vour school, and we shall be proud to call vou the alumni of L.H.S. Farewell and Godspeed to you, the Class of ' 48. D. A. R. Convention M ARCH 18 marked another of the Annual D.A.R. Good Citizen Conventions, held this year at the Somerset Hotel in Boston. Girls from all over the state are gathered at the Con- vention and one fortunate girl is chosen as the D.A.R. Pilgrim to represent Massachusetts at the National Convention in Washington. Besides the regular business meeting in the morning, the girls heard lectures by various personages concerning the essential qualities of a good citizen. After lunch, an extensive tour of the State House was taken covering all ooints of interest. Representing Lawrence High as this year’s good citizen was Janet Fenstermaker.

Co-Editor P ENNSYLVANIA Avenue and Broadway hold no secrets for 32 members of this Sen- ior Class of Lawrence High School. We have nad an interesting, tiring, but wonderful jour- ney which carried us and our chaperones, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall, to New York, Washington, Virginia, and the return trip to Philadelphia and New York again. On March 19, we eagerly boarded a bus in Providence, which took us to the Hotel Picadil- ly in New York. Friday evening we spent sightseeing in nearby Times Square, and watch- ing the Perry Como westcoast broadcast. One night in New York was enough to know that traffic makes noise, so windows were left closed. First stop Saturday morning was the Statue of Liberty, its beauty accentuated by the steel gray sky. Many were brave enough to climb to the top ot the statue, but tew cared to re- turn to the bottom without a rest. Next came a trip on the Staten Island Ferry, and a tour of China Town and the Bowery. Shivers and goose pimples were common on the walk along me narrow, dirty streets of this part of the city. Radio City welcomed us in the torm of a tele- vision tour with a guide named Joe, and seats for the Ford Theatre of the air. The comedy, presented by Russell Crouse, with musical inter- ludes by Lyn Murray, took an enjoyable hour. Saturday evening the party split, some of us seeing the Easter Parade spectacle at Radio City Music Hall and others went dancing at the Astor. Entertainment seemed easy to find, with a wide variety of prices. On Palm Sunday feeling like veterans, we attended church; then, in the evening we wit- nessed Sonja Henie’s Ice Time of 1948 . It was a fitting close to the first part of our journey. Before we reached Washington, we stopped at the beautiful Francisian Monastery. Guides ushered us through replicas of Roman cata- combs and showed us models of tombs of Bib- lical characters. Our rooms in Washington were in the Will- ard Hotel. Monday night, the majority of us headed lor the Ambassador notel swimming pool. Tuesday morning was sightseeing morning, starting with the treasury, and including an hour long visit to the FBI. Everyone climbed Washington monument and followed that with a tour ot the White House. Next the Capitol was invaded. We sat a lew minutes in the benate and House ot Representatives as part ot our tour ot the large-domed buildings. Mount Vernon was next on the itinerary, following visits to the Lincoln Memorial and the tomb ot the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. At the cemetery we were lucky to be present at the changing ot the guard. We had an hour to tour the grounds and buildings at Mount Vernon. In tne eve- ning we went to the Library ot Congress, and enjoyed seeing the beautifully decorated build- ing. The Smithsonian Institute, the National Gal- lery of Art, Museum of National History, and the Army and Navy Medical Museum were visited Wednesday morning. The relics of our past and the inventions and improvements of our inventors amazed everyone and the beau- tiful art displays captured the imagination. The girls in our group were particularly pleased with Wednesday afternoon and a trip to Annapolis and the Naval Academy. Thurs- day we went traveling again to arrive in New York in time to see Oklahoma’’, the musical celebrating its fifth birthday on Broadway that week. Everyone enjoyed the familiar music and cowboy settings and the after theater snacks. Weary but happy, we arrived in Falmouth Friday night, full of tales and historical lore, and glad to have had this opportunity to make the trip. LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Fifty-one Fifty-two THE L A WRENCI AN— 1 948 SENIOR PROM Janet Fenstermaker T HE well-decorated hall of the Recreation building served as a background for the senior prom. Ihe night of ivlay 22nd and its gay restivities will be long remembered by many a Manor. Over 100 students and guests, lormally attired in tuxedos and attractive gowns, uaiwea iu tne thrilling music of the Nix Nax Orchestra rrom Chatham, boft lights, twinxl- ing stars, and colored streamers as part ol the staraust theme, decorated the dance hall in a magical manner. Ouring intermission came the traditional senior granu march lead by the class oincers and ineir guests, this year, as something new, each senior was presented with his or her class nower. Kefreshments, including punch and cookies, were served to the guests in the lounge.

Eighth grade girls who efficiently acted as waitresses were: Ginny Marshall, Carol Law- rence, Kay Francis, Connie Fitzgerald, Georgia Lillie, Ruth Schroeder, Nancy bchroeder, Cyn- thia Saunders. Ihe group of ushers, eighth graue boys, who conducted each couple through the receiving line included: Bowman Lacklin, Charles McAdams, Richard Kendall, Herbert Moniz, George Ferreira, Robert O Connell, Bruce Illgen, and Robert Pratt. Patrons and patronesses for the occasion were: Mr. and Mrs. Russell B. Marshall, Mr. and Mrs. Gail Cavanaugh, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Harper, Miss Esther Connolly, and Mr. Guy H. Lagroe. WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE U NDER the direction of Eleanor Barry and Octavia Bento, co-chairmen, the Ways and Means Committee did a fine job of financing the Senior Class. Many profitable ventures were undertaken, especially the sale of L.H.S. ban- ners and the spring bridge. The coke con- cession was a steady source of income during the football and basketball seasons. The whole committee deserves credit for its excellent work- in raising funds this year. GRADUATION Robert Kendall Jr. RADUATION activities for the Class of 1948 began with the Baccalaureate Service held at St. Barnabas Memorial Church, Sunday, June 13. The Reverend Leslie F Wallace de- livered the address before the graduating class and the members of his congregation. The following day Class Day exercises were held in the Hall School Auditorium. Class President Robert Kendall welcomed students anu guests. Ihe will, prophecy, history, and gifts followed. Most ot the students partici- pated in the dramatizing of incidents in the classes past or in the forecasted future. Gifts from the Sophomore and Junior Classes and the presentation from the graduates concluded the program. That evening the Class banquet was held in the Column Terrace. We enjoyed a pleasant evening and an excellent banquet. Tuesday, June 14, was the actual graduation day. The parents and friends of the Class of 1948 filled the auditorium to overflowing. The Seniors, dressed in maroon robes for the boys and white robes for the girls, marched in to the tune of ' Ihe War March of the Priests” by „ Mendelssohn. This was followed by the in- vocation given by the Reverend Hollis M. French and then the welcome by the class presi- dent. Following the Commencement Address, delivered by The Honorable Edward C. Stone, Mr. Paul Dillingham, Superintendent of Schools, presented the diplomas. Principal Russell B. Marshall announced the various awards to honor students. The farewell was given by Phyllis Fisher. The program ended with the benedic- tion by The Reverend Jose B. Avila. The song sung by the class was written by Miss M. Olive Cahoon, music supervisor, and presented for the first time at Class Day and Graduation exercises. Frank DeSouza and Phyl- lis Fisher were in charge of Class Day program activities. RESIGNATION M ISS Helen Greene Allen ended 37 years of teaching in Lawrence High School last year. Miss Allen, Dean of Girls, laid the foun- dation for the school library. Her excellent advice on all subjects and her sage remarks and clever sayings will be remembered by all who knew her in Falmouth. LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Fifty-three Fifty-four THE LAWRENCIAN— 1948 CLASS OF 1950 Connie Craig. ’50 Sophomore Class Officers President Vice-president Secretary Treasurer Social Chairman Barry Beale Charles Sample Loretta Benevides William Regan Rita Belanger A S our first year at L.H.S. draws to an event- ful dose, we Sophomores kx)k back over the fun-laden weeks and think over the hap- penings which have made our class so distin- guished. (So we say! ) The first thing in sports was, of course, foot- ball. Scads of Sophomores answered the call of Coach Kinney; and John DeSouza, Barry Beale, Bill Regan, and Eddie Marks were awarded letters for th eir outstanding perform- ances on the field. At any performance of the Glee Club, the Sophomore voices can be heard chirping among those of the upper classmen. These lovely sounds belong to Jean Cantwell, Connie Craig, Natalie MacDougall, Ginger Merrill, Ann Pe- ters, Phyllis Peters, Nancy Reine, Josephine Rezendes, Beryl Smith, Mary Souza, Dorothy Van Tol, Joan Vincent, Carmen Veiga, and Bob Kelly and Fred Jensen. Many girls and boys turned all out for bas- ketball when the season rolled around. The Sophomore girls who made a name for them- selves on the court were Lorraine DeMello, Cynny Swift, Ginger Merrill, Audrey Mixson, Nancy Reine, Lois Day, Claire Palmer, and Ann Peters. Some of the boys who showed what it takes” were Barry Beale, Donald Wood, John Irving, and Roy Peterson. In other phases of music, we are represented in the orchestra by Dorothy Van Tol and Le- moyne Palmer, violin, and Fred Jensen, trum- pet. Fred also plays in the newly formed band and Ginger Merrill turns herself insideout as a twirler. Cynthia Swift, Ginger Merrill, and Connie Craig are Sophomore reporters for Student In- telligencer. Any broken legs or similar bits of news among Sophomores will be appreciated. Now for the crowning event in Sophomore history — the Bean Supper which came off Feb- ruary 28th. Surely, the Seniors and Juniors will not forget Romeo Bean Supper Lafond, when he advertised over the lound speaker. We were a little worried for the weather was not up to par, but over three hundred persons were lured by the delightful aromas that seeped out of the cafeteria. Boy, the beans were delish! (Thanks to Mrs. Barry, also to Miss Moorman, our class adviser, who worked so hard and helped make our supper a success.) Basketball games, volley-ball, and dancing followed. A comic relief was provided by the men teachers who formed a serpentine line dressed in linen dusters and various old hats and carrying drums and other musical noisemakers. Yup, the Sophomores are at it again! Chances are you ' ve heard rumors about a beach party and dance to be held just before school lets out. Well, the Sophomores are hoping that this new enterprise will be as successful as the well- known Bean Supper. We feel that our first year at L.H.S. will come to a very successful close. Our class will be minus two members next year. Beryl Smith is going to Dana Hall School and Joan Vincent will attend Walnut Hill School. Quite a few Sophomores modeled in the fashion show for the parade of progress. Many were also spoted on various floats in the parade. Yes, our first year at L.H.S. is nearly over and we are looking forward now to equally en- joyable, profitable Junior and Senior years. LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Fifty-live CLASS OF 1949 Greta Jensen, ’49 T HE Juniors are The Class. This is strictly the opinion of the Juniors, and we are not asking anyone else to believe it. The Juniors shone in the sportlight this year in that great L.H.S. Class D State Champ- ionship Football Team. ( What a mouthful ! ) We sent in such great players as George Fish, Joe Sambade, Dick Corey, Cappy” Lumbert, and Randy Peters. On the second team were Dave Theall, Art Mello, Fred Bowman, and Donald DeMello. This year L. H. S. jackets were presented to Randy Peters, Joe Sambade, Dave Theal, and ’’Cappy” Lumbert. Then came basketball. Chuck Fraser and Cappy” Lumbert played on the first team, and George Sawyer, Dick Corey, Jerry Newcomb, and Dave Theall on the second. Chuck was the only member of the team who received a jacket this year. In the Spring a young man’s fancy turns to — Sorry, girls, not love, but baseball. In the Junior Class, Fraser, Sawyer, Bowman, Hall, Corey, Lumbert, Amarall, Newcomb, Mellor, Faria, and Roberts went out to make home runs ( ? ) . Not to be outdone, the girls had a basketball team, too. Of course, they weren ' t quite as good as the boys, but then you can ' t expect the girls to excel in everything all the time! The Jun- ior girls were Co-captain Frannie Irving, Bar- bara Keenan. Marciana Fonseca, Dobby Cor- deiro, Lillies Rose, Alida Mixon, Martha Rogers, Cynthia Leighton, and Nancy Dean. Now let us mention some outstanding indi- viduals of the Junior class. ( Yes, we do have them.) Congratulations to George Fish and Dick Corey who were elected captains of that great — (I’m not going through that name again ) . Envious glances of other Junior Glee Club members were thrown at Janice McLane and Lillies Rose who were the only Juniors who at- tended the music festival. Honors go to Louise Bissonette and Greta Jensen who did the impossible and got on the Honor Roll. Whistles go to Nancy Clark, Pat Leonard, and Joan Dahill, who were elected as the Jun- ior bathing beauties. Junior Class Officers President Vice-president Secretary T reasurer Social Chairman Ways and Means Committee Chairman George Fish Sondra Ofstrock Priscilla Jennings Frances Irving John Farrell Joseph Sambade Two nice people are Priscilla Jennings and George Fish who were candidates for the Mr. and Miss Lawrencian” contest. Also, here’s to two swell cheerleaders, Doris Fisher and Nancy Dean, who helped us win the championship. The Juniors are very musical. We have eighteen members in the Glee Club. Now you know why the Glee Club sings so well. Nancy Clark and Art Mello are in the L. H. S. Se lected Choir. In the band and orchestra are Lillies Rose. Art Mello, and Vernon Deane. Not to be left out by any means is Joan Da- hill, a twirler in the band. This person belongs in the Special Individ- uals ”, but he really should have a section all by himself. Do you remember one day in as- sembly when a Junior stood up and told us why we should be farmers, and how all the boys rushed over to Harvey’s for hoes? And do you remember how he won this contest, and how he went on to win not just the town, not just the county, but the state contest? Do you remember his name? You do? Well, I’ll tell it anyway. Yes, the Junior class is surely proud of Joe Sambade.

LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Fifty-seven ACTIVITIES Fifty-eight THF LAWRENCIAN — 1948 LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Fifty-nine Class D Football Champions Robert Kendall. Co-Editor AWRENCE High School climaxed one of its most successful seasons in the school ' s history by winning the Massachusetts Class D Championship. Freshman Coach James C. Kin- ney, assisted by Mr. Elmer Gov ' Fuller, di- rected the Red and White to eight wins in nine games in the course of the campaign. Perhaps the best comment on the team came from Coach Kinney himself: All the boys played very good ball. This year ' s team was not a one-man team, but a balanced aggre- gation of eleven players. ' ’ After sneaking by Middleboro in the tradi- tional opening game, Lawrence trounced Oliver Ames and New Bedford Vocational, then went on to defeat Bourne and St. Anthony. This per- fect streak was spoiled on Fairhaven ' s muddy field when Falmouth went down 10 its first and only defeat, 7-0. Coach Kinney ' s charges snap- ped back to whitewash Yarmouth and down Wareham and the traditional Thanksgiving Day adversary, Barnstable. FOOTBALL RESUME LAWRENCE 7 - MIDDLEBORO 6 The Crimson gained its first victory of the 1017 season when, after a second period Mid- dleboro aerial drew first blood, George Fish intercepted a fumble and ran 25 yards for the score and George Greene bulled over the win- ning point. LAWRENCE 20 - OLIVER AMES 6 After a first minute Oliver Ames touchdown. Falmouth came back to score with Greene in the second canto, Marks in the third period, and Corey for the final score. Costa converted the extra point following the Marks ' touchdown. LAWRENCE 14 - N. B. VOCATIONAL 6 The Red and White once again came from behind to whip a favored Vocational eleven after a first quarter pass scored for the New Bedford team. Marks and Greene scored the touchdowns with Greene and Tumbert con- verting the extra points LAWRENCE 7 - BOURNE 0 Lawrence blanked Bourne in the Columbus Day classic when Captain Frank DeSouza snatched a loose ball in the Bourne backfield and scampered 40 yards for the touchdown. Quarterback Ken Smith ' s running punt from the end zone and Greene and Corey runs dazzled the crowd. LAWRENCE 12 - ST. ANTHONY 0 The fifth straight win came home to Law- rence when Beale and Smith ran to touchdowns before the season ' s smallest crowd. Both at- tempts at conversion failed. as the team showed the fatigue of fighting the Falmouth forest fire. FAIRHAVEN 7 - LAWRENCE 0 Playing their best brand of football of the season, Fairhaven downed a favored Lawrence High School eleven on a muddy, cold field. The only offensive displayed in the contest was Fair- haven ' s third quarter efforts which ended in an 8-yard rush to a tally. LAWRENCE 13 - YARMOUTH 0 The Crimson, sparked by Smith ' s passes, out- played a plucky Yarmouth eleven 13 0. Half- back John DeSouza scored first on a 10 yard sweep with Beale following suit in the second period. Both teams fought on even terms dur- ing the last half. LAWRENCE 7 - WAREHAM 6 The Red Raiders of Lawrence eked out a 7-6 victory by virtue of a Smith to Beale pass and a DeSouza conversion. Wareham scored first following the opening kickoff by marching 70 yards. The Lawrence line repeatedly turned back Wareham in the third and fourth quarters. LAWRENCE 13 - BARNSTABLE 7 The Crimson Tide spilled a highly touted Barnstable team, 13-7 and copped the Class D Championship before 2.500 spectators in the annual Turkey Day contest. Barnstable’s Crocker and Renzi combined to score first. Lawrence snapped back with Greene going 42 yards in the first period and Lumbert taking a pass on the ten for the second tally. Costa’s kick was good for the extra point. Both teams were stalemated in the final half Sixty THF LA WREN Cl AN— 1 948 Photo by Edwin Gray First Rou. left to right : Lawrence Costa, Roy Peterson, Johnny Irving, Donald DeMello, Capt.

Former left-fielder Bernie Balona is at the keystone sack and Chuck Fraser per- forms at third base. Kenny Smith, lead-off bat- ter, is the main stay at shortstop. Outfielders are Bill Swift, Art Faria, and Bob Kendall. Lawrence has a twelve game schedule which includes Wareham, Fairhaven, Barnstable, Bourne, Yarmouth, and Sandwich.

BROCK I ON 1 0 U RN A MEN I T HIS year was the second consecutive year in which the Lawrence High School Basket- ball Team has gone down to defeat by one point. Lawrence encountered Franklin High School in a very exciting game which saw ' Franklin cage the tie-breaking point in the final seconds. The score at the climax was 26-25. At the end of the first quarter Lawrence held a slim lead of 5-0, but Franklin, not being out- done, pressed harder and trailed by 4 points at the half. Throughout the third period, the Crimson and White just managed to hold on to their precious lead by one point with Kenny Smith fouling out and being replaced by George Sawyer. By virtue of important foul shots, Franklin managed to eke out a one point vic- tory in the final canto. Albert Malzan was high man for the Crim- son with Chuck Fraser and Cappy Lumbert be- ing outstanding on defense.

SPORTS MURAL I F the gym suddenly has a new and better ap- pearance, it is because of the realistic murals drawn by the high school art classes under the direction of Miss Nellie Suzedell. The plan consists of three separate murals depicting football, basketball, and baseball, all in vivid colors and action-packed. At present, only the football and basketball murals are fin- ished, but the basketball one is well on its way to completion. Many skeptics were doubtful about the out- come of such a project, but through the com- bined efforts of the art students, a creditable, well-planned job has been accomplished. SENIOR PLAY M OST of you are familiar with Louisa May Alcott’s beloved story of Little Women. The play version was presented by senior thes- pians in the Hall School Auditorium March 1 2th and 1 3th. Convincing performances were a tribute to the direction of Mrs. Lynn Jeffrey Quick. The three acts of the play take place in the living room of the March home, Act I: Just before Christmas of 1862; Act II. A few weeks later in 1863; Act III: the summer of 1866. As you have gathered from the title, the play centers about the four young March daughters. Throughout the play Marmee and Father lov- ingly watch over their young brood. Meg is wooed and won by John Brooke. Sweet little Beth succumbs to her illness. Laurie is con- vinced he loves Amy and finally marries her; and our tomboy, Jo, settles down and marries Professor Bhaer. Aunt March lends her money and advice during the play. PARADE OF PROGRESS Lawrence High School was certainly well represented in Falmouth ' s Parade of Progress”. Harold Croft and George Lumbert proudly dis- played their sailboat built in shop class. It is a handsome craft, measuring 16 leet by 7 feet. Good work, boys! In spite of the cold wind, the L.H.S. band played while the twirlers gave a snappy sample of high-strutting. Rounds of applause greeted the school float as the parade proceeded through town. The high point of the float was our mascot, Wus- sell”, supported by two attractive cheerleaders, Joan Marshall and Betty Freeman. Behind Wussell was the Class D championship banner. Posed in action shots, representing the three- school sports were: Barry Beale and A1 Malzan, football; Kenny Smith, basketball; and Jerry DeMello, baseball. The other half of the float was given to the Lawrencian . Behind a typical school desk, Natalie Cunha and Phil Stewart representing two enthusiastic ' ' Lawren- cian ' ’ writers. On the desk was placed the usual facilities. Last, but not least, on the tail end of the float sat Pat Graham and Janet Fenstermaker avidly reading two oversized copies of the Lawrencian. Credit goes to the float committee and its chairman, Hermine Goguen. CHEERLEADERS LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY T HIS year marked the beginning of a Law- rence High School Chapter of the National Honor Society with faculty advisers, Mrs. Mary C. Robb and Mr. Gail M. Cavanaugh. Law- rence High School joined more than 3,300 other public and acredited secondary schools throughout the United States. The Chapter hopes to stimulate the scholar- ship, leadership, service, and character ot stu- dents. lhe society will become an important function in the school. Candidates chosen by vote of the faculty must maintain average grades of 85 per cent or better in all subjects to remain eligible for membership, according to the proposed consti- tution. Scholastic achievement is not the sole qualification for admittance. The proposed member must demonstrate a desire and capacity lor service, worthy leadership, and high char- acter. The constitution specifies that all meetings, conducted according to Robert’s Rules of Order , shall be open meetings held under the sponsorship of a faculty member. All activities are subject to the approval of Principal Russell B. Marshall. Charter members of the Chapter are Seniors, Phyllis Fisher, Robert Kendall, Janet Fenster- maker, Eleanor Barry, Bette MacDougall, Mar- jorie Myers, Joan Marshall, William Veiga and Pat Graham. ASSEMBLIES M R. Russell B. Marshall should be given a hand in appreciation for the excellent art- ists he has obtained for our assemblies during the year. Everyone will remember Suki, the trained Great Dane, and his trainer, Leon E. Smith. Perhaps some are still laughing over The Stevens Puppets in their presentation of This Funny World”. If Mr. F. Arnold Young didn’t improve our English, it wasn ' t because he didn ' t try. English as She is Spoke” or Manners for Minors” certainly proved edu- cational. The thrills and chills of the deep, so well described by Marguerite Soule Shoemaker in her talk on The Marine Underworld”, will long remain with many of us. And finally who could forget Nutchuk, the most famous Eskimo in the world in his talk on Return from the Smokey Sea”? His talk, we are sure, acquainted everybody present with Alaska. Sixty-seven SENIOR WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE ESSAY CONTEST I N years past the American Legion Auxiliary has sponsored an essay contest on various sub- jects concerning the American way ol hie. ihe Auxiliary feels that this contest provides the student with an opportunity to develop his ap- preciation of the fundamentals ot democracy and express this appreciation as it applies to his personal life. It also serves as a means to give to the student a truer understanding of this glorious land of ours. This year the essay to be written was entitled Our Great American Heri- tage — Liberty. The W. W. Wood Post Aux- iliary of Falmouth presented the following three prizes to the Lawrence High School seniors whose essays best expressed the full meaning of its title: First prize — Joan Marshall; second prize — Jerome DeMello; honorable mention — Phyllis Fisher. JUNIOR TOWN MEETING «CHOULD a national health law be passed? was the question debated by the New Eng- land Junior Town Meeting of the Air, March 1 1 . Four schools sent representatives to par- ticipate in the annual event sponsored by the Junior Town Meeting League. On the affirmative from Lawrence High School was Robert Kendall. In the audience from Falmouth, which participated by asking questions were Betty MacDougall, Elizabeth Tsiknas, and Jack Hadley. The program was recorded in Abington High School, March 11, and broadcast over stations WBZ and WBZA, March 13. Guy H. Lagroe, senior English teacher, took the group to Abington. Sixty -eight THE LAWRENCI AN — 1 948 SENIOR PROM COMMITTEE SENIOR BRIDGE T HE Senior Class was host to a congenial crowd of bridge and whist fans at the Spring Bridge held on Tuesday, May 18, in the Falmouth Recreation Center. Mothers and friends of the graduating class played for the individual table prizes and shared the tasty sandwiches, home baked cookies, and coffee. Eleanor Barry, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, was in charge of the affair. A PAPER IS BORN T HE Journalism Class has for the first time in a good many years realized a major ac- complishment. This accomplishment, of course, is the complete publishing of its own school page, The Intelligencer , in the regular town paper, THE ENTERPRISE. This progress can be attributed to the energies of Mrs. Mary C. Robb, who just took over the Journalism class from Mrs. Alloy E. Jorgenson this year. Mrs. Robb ' s unceasing efforts and drive have reaped a most fruitful harvest. The paper ' s name, The Intelligencer , was adopted from the old town paper. The Journalism Class is proud of the fact that they have never had to use advertisements on the page to fill up space. After three weeks’ publication, however, the staff found it necessary to recruit new members. Very soon through Mrs. Robb’s persuasion thir- teen cub reporters were contributing their efforts. Since that time the paper has been published every school week for many months. THE ENTERPRISE has been very co- operative in aiding the publication of this new page, and the class is sure it has helped boost the paper’s sales. MEMORIAL DAY SPEAKERS P HYLLIS Fisher, Joan Marshall, and Robert Kendall were speakers in the Decoration Day exercises held Monday, May 31, on the Village Green. Phyllis explained the signifi- cance and history of Memorial Day. Joan and Robert shared the topic, Liberty — Our Great American Heritage . Robert’s address told of the past and Joan looked into the future of our country. Phyllis and Joan were awarded prizes in the American Legion Essay Contest. BRAND QUEEN CONTEST R UNNER-up in the Brand Names Queen Contest, held in connection with the Fal- mouth Parade of Progress, was Kaleroy Hatzi- kon. She missed winning the honors and $250 by just one question. Among her prizes were a gold watch chain, a gallon of house paint, a case of Coca Cola, a pair of rubber boots, and a box of candy. Other Lawrence High School contestants were Phyllis Fisher, Adelma Senate, and Janice McLane. CLASS OF 1949 (Continued from Page 55) LOST AND FOUND. Lost— 1 David The- all, whom everyone misses very much. Found — 1 Roger Blake, who was lost in the ninth grade, has finally been returned to us. The Lawrencian has its share of the Juniors, t(x . Greta Jensen and Sondra Ofstrock are the associate editors. Other members of the Literary Staff are Adelma Senate, and Nancy Clark. Members of the Business Staff are Fran- ces Irving, Cynthia Augusta, Louise Bissonette, Pauline Peterson, Nancy Clark, and John Farrel. Now comes the Junior’s Social Life. Ha! Ha! Well, I guess that settles that. In the beginning of the year, we raffled a pass to the football and basketball home games. The winner was a Junior (only by accident, I assure you ) , Louise Allen. We voted for a new type of class ring. The square ones are now round. We think they’re beautiful! The class is planning a paper drive the last of April and a Hangar Party in May (maybe). So on and on into the night are recorded the doings of the Junior class. Ah, yes, it is a great class, but just thi nk what will happen when the Juniors will be seniors! LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Sixty-nine New England Music Festival Bette MacDougall Dear Diary, Wednesday Night Well, the first day of the New England Music Festival is finally over, and what an exciting day! It is really wonderful to see 610 boys and girls working together. Lawrence High School sent sixteen musicians under the supervision of Miss Cahoon. The seniors in the groups were Pat Graham, Joan Marshall, Mary Tsiknas, Elizabeth Tsiknas, Janet Fenstermaker, Charlotte Martin, Eleanor Barry, Bette MacDougall, Kaleroy Hatzikon, Bob Kendall, Phil Stewart, Jack Hadley, and Dick Brackett. Two members of the Junior class who went were Janice McLane, and Lillies Rose. We took the 7:28 A. M. train for Bos- ton and then the noon express to Fortland. The express was wonderfully clean and pleasant and it only took two hours. We went directly to the auditorium of the South Portland High School where Miss Cahoon got folders for us. The information in these folders told us where to go, how to go. and what to do. so we felt as if we were ready for anything. With the help of the transportation committee, we found our homes and met our hosts and hostesses. The transnortation com- mittee was wonderful. It consisted of South Portland students who were giving their time and gas to helo us. We returned to the auditorium for a mass meeting, during which we were told what was exoected of us and anv questions we had were settled. We are to rehearse in the High School Auditorium, the Armory, and the People’s Me- thodist Church. The first Congregational Church, Holy Cross Hall, the Masonic Building, the American Legion Hall, and the High School Cafeteria are to feed us. Our first rehearsal was from 7 P. M. to 9 P. M. For weeks we had been practicing our own small parts and to add them to a chorus of about 250, an orchestra of 150, or a band of 200 certainly gives us a wonderful feeling. After such a long and exciting day most of us went right to our homes because we knew there would be a lot of work to do the follow- ing days. Most of us stayed at Cape Elizabeth, a town two or three miles from South Port- land. Dear Diary, Thursday Night This was definitely a day of work although we did end it with a dance. Our regular sched- ule consisted of three rehearsals — 9 A. M. to 1 1 A. M, 1 P. M. to 3 P. M., and 7 P. M. to 9 P. M. The orchestra, which usually has to work harder than the band or chorus, rehearsed until 4:30 this afternoon. The dance was held in the gymnasium after rehearsals and the hosts and hostesses of South Portland High saw that everyone had a good time. Dear Diary, FrkJa y Ni ht Rehearsals as usual today but in addition we gave our first concert this afternoon for school children. The band and orchestra play- ed a few of their pieces. Although most of the day is taken up with rehearsals we do have free time during which we use the Legion Hall for recreation. There we play ping pong, cards, dance, and sing. South Portland is certainly doing a wonder- ful job of planning and carrying out their plans to make this Festival a success. All transporta- tion is provided, the meals are very good, and the people we stay with are marvelous. We all have orders to make ourselves at home and to raid the kitchen at night — and these orders are certainly carried out. Dear Diary, Saturday Night Today was the climax and the end of the Festival. Our busiest day began with last min- ute rehearsals and nictures which took uo the whole morning. The orchestra began the day at 8: 15 A. M with the chorus and band follow- ing. This was our chance to hear and see the other grouns. so mo t of us staved at the school all morning. In the afternoon we gave a matinee and in the evening the main perform ante. All our directors seemed very pleased and we received many compliments for both concerts. Following the concert there was a dance in the gym, our last chance to meet with all our friends — old and new. Our two celebrities, Mary and Elizabeth Tsik- nas, had their pictures taken at the dance. All week long, from our arrival on Wednesday until the dance Saturday night, they had had their pictures taken. They are not only twins but this is their third and last festival and dur ing the Festival week they celebrated their birthday. Everything has been perfect and we would like to thank all of South Portland for the aid and friendliness we have received. Seventy T H Ji LA WRiiNCl AN — 1948 IO ALL ADVLK I ISLRS The Senior Class and the Latvrencian Yearbook Staff wish to take this opportunity to thank each and every’ one for your loyal support and splendid cooperation. Without y our financial aid and encouragement, the Latvrencian could not continue to be published year after year. ★ ★ ★ AUTOGRAPHS Patronize Our Advertisers ROBBINS LAUNDRY INC ★ The Concrete Products Co.
