Marshall rhe Principal’s Message ' OUNG people about to graduate from high school are well aware that achieve- ment is one of the important steps toward suc- cess in any venture. I would say to you that achievement is half the necessary equipment of success and that the other half is personality or good human relations. The ability to get along well with people, to work with them, to conduct yourself in such a manner that other people will enjoy having you around are all important to your success. There are many attributes that help a person. I would like to suggest some that I have seen in people that I have admired and respected. Tact: the healing medicine for injured feel- ings, the ability to lead thoughts and actions awav from friction. Courtesy: gracious in respecting the other fellow — the basis of action for everyone who would be a gentleman. Friendliness: to express a genuine interest in the other fellow, to encourage him, to make him feel that you approve of him. Honesty: honesty with one’s self, honesty with others. Poise: self-confidence — the master of your- self and of the situation you are faced with. As I have observed young people about to finish their high school careers, I have felt that most of them had a grasp of the tools of learn- ing, the fundamentals upon which to build suc- cessful lives. To those who possess tact and poise, who practice courtesy and honesty, and who express a friendliness in their relations with others, they are the ones who have the better chance of successfully using the tools of learning — to live and work with other people, to be something not only to themselves but to the people they have to work and live with. It is my hope that all of you of the Class of 1949 will find the vocation that you want and that you will be successful and happy in it. I am convinced that your chances will be im- proved immeasurably if you practice and con- stantly strive to put into practice the attributes that I have suggested, to be a friend to man.” LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Nine Senior Class SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer Marshal George Fish Richard Corey Fred Bowman John Farrell Charles Sample, ’50 CLASS MOTTO Climbing high, climbing far; Our aim the sky, our goal a star.

Smythe Roll of Honor T7VERY year two members of the senior class are chosen by their classmates as the typical examples of the motto of the school: Loyalty, Honor, and Service. This year a new pre- cedent has been established. For the first time the election was made solely by the vote of the senior class whereas in other years juniors and sophomores also had a vote. This year, 1949, the two seniors who have been so honored as to be chosen for the Henry Herbert Smythe Honor Roll are Greta Elizabeth Jensen and Fred Bowman. FRED N. BOWMAN F RED, secretary of the senior class and presi- dent of the Student Council, has played quite an active part in the school’s activities during his three years in Lawrence High School. Fred was a letterman on the baseball team and has been an active member of the Glee Club. He represented his school at Massachusetts Boys ' State and won the American Legion Oratorical Contest in L.H.S. Fred, an honor student, plans to attend college after completion of his high school curriculum. GRETA E. JENSEN G RETA, co-editor of the Lawrencian and secretary of the Student Council, has played an active part in many of the school activities. One of the leads in the senior class play, The Adorable Imp”, Greta has participated in many such school activities as the Glee Club, and as a member she attended the music festival in Wellesley. She has served on numerous com- mittees and although her future is undecided, Greta plans to go to college when she graduates from Lawrence High School.

Our first and most important venture of our sophomore year was to elect George Fish, the future President of the United States, the presi- dent of our class; Nancy Clark, Vice-President; Priscilla Jennings, Secretary; and Cynthia Au- gusta, Treasurer. We asserted our importance in Lawrence High School by winning a decisive victory at the Swimming Meet with Nancy Dean and Frances Irving walking away with the swim- ming laurels. Nancy Clark was chosen, out of a group of stunning beauties, as Miss Sophomore Class of 1946.” Though our contribution to the Glee Club was small, the voices of Blanche Morris, Pris- cilla Jennings, Nancy Clark, Cynthia Leighton, and Marcianna Fonseca could be heard boom- ing out. As we look back at those glorious days on the gridiron, we see Richard Corey, George Fish, and Lawrence Costa leading tbe charges of Lawrence High School to victory with Doris Fisher and Nancy Dean cheering them on. On the basketball floor were seen Dick Corey, Ted MacDonald, George Sawyer, and Tom Roberts throwing them in for Lawrence High while Frannie Irving, Cynthia Augusta, Bar- bara Cummings, Martha Rogers, and Marci- anna Fonseca were scoring for the girls. On the baseball diamond could be found such stars as Fred Bowman, our ace lefthander. Hank Hall, David Theall, George Sawyer, and Dick Corey. Who was elected to represent Lawrence High School at the Red Cross Rally in Cleveland? Why, none other than our own Nancy Clark. Our most successful business ventures were the sales of Lawrence High School T-shirts, some of which are occasionally seen during the summer, and our roller skating party. Hank Hall and his sister won the prize for the best boy and girl skaters. Our sophomore year was not all fun and pleasure, for we had a few select members of our class maintaining certificate grades all year. These future Einsteins were Pauline Peterson, Janet Pierce, Greta Jensen, Priscilla Jennings, and Richard Mellor. Our first year in L.H.S. being a very suc- cessful and happy one, we started off our jun- ior year by electing George Fish as president; Sondra Ofstrock as vice-president; Priscilla Jen- nings as secretary; Frances Irving as treasurer. In the world of sports the juniors were pro- minent figures. Such muscle ( ? ) men as George Fish, Joe Sambade, Dick Corey, Cappy” I.um- bert, and Randy Peters helped to sew up our great L.H.S. Class D State Championship. It was this year that some very proud junior boys received their L.H.S. jackets. Among these were Randy Peters, Joe Sambade, and Cappy” Lum- bert. Our stars on the court were Chuck Fraser and Cappy Lumbert who played on the first team, and on the second team George Sawyer, Freser, and Bowman ( who was a wonderful re- lief pitcher). Those who received jackets in baseball were Bowman and Sawyer. Of course, the sports’ world couldn ' t be dropped without mentioning the girls’ basket- ball team. The junior girls were Co-captain Frannie Irving, Barbara Keenan, Marcy Fonseca. Dobby Corderio, Lillies Rose, Alida Mixon, Martha Rogers. Cynthia Leighton, and Nancy Dean. Now is the rime to mention some of the out- standing juniors whose names made the lights. Congratulations go to Joe Sambade who ( I must repeat for posterity ) won not only the town, not just the county, but also the state contest for Public Speaking in Agriculture. The subject of this famous junior’s speech was Why Be a Farmer.” Honors go to Fred Bowman, Dick Mellor, Greta Jensen, and Nancy Clark, who were our representatives at Boys’ and Girls’ State. The juniors, as usual, were active in musical organizations. The Glee Club boasted eighteen junior members. In the band and orchestra were Lillies Rose, Art Mello, and Vernon Deane. Also worthy of mention is lovely Joan Dahill, a snappy twirler in the band. Two special larks are Nancy Clark and Art Mello, who are in the L.H.S. Selected Choir. Two lucky members of the Junior Glee Club were Janice McLane and Lillies Rose who at- tended the music festival. Thirty-eight THE LA WRENCI AN— 1 949 One of the final tasks we completed as jun- iors was to elect class officers for the senior year. George Fish was elected President; Dick Corey, Vice-president; Fred Bowman, Secre- tary; and John Farrell, Treasurer. The saddest thing for any senior to do is having to write his class history, and so, if this piece of work appears to be slightly tear-stained, you ' ll understand the reason why. In the fall of ’48 we bounced into L.H.S. ready and waiting for one of the biggest years of our lives to begin rolling, and roll it did! First on our list of memoirs we find the words sophomore Initiation , and they certainly bring to mind many a humorous incident, and many a fiendish torture. But never did we weaken and pity the lowly Sophs, no never! For we were the dictators then, and what we said WENT! Shortly after that, Nancy Clark, (the girl we love from head to toe, the girl with plenty of go, go, go), received the honor of being the D.A.R. representative from L.H.S. And never will we forget those four invisi- bles who attended Girls’ and Boys’ State. I am referring naturally to Greta Jensen, Nancy Clark, Fred Bowman, and Dick Mellor. drade, DeMello, and Sambade, who showed us how football shotdd be played. While plowing through the study of Shake- speare, Mr. Lagroe chaperoned a small group of seniors to Boston, where they saw Lawrence Olivier’s fine production of Hamlet.’’ You know ”To be, or not to be?” For some reason or other, the musicians of the class seemd to be greatly in the minority. However, w f e weren’t entirely lacking in musical representation. Lillies Rose played in the school orchestra, and was chosen to participate in the New England Music Festival for two consecu- tive years. Equally talented and musically inclined was that handsome Arthur Mello, who played the saxophone in both the school band and orches- tra. Art was, incidentally, the only band mem- ber who was in the original first year band, formed three years ago. Another outstanding student with musical inclination was Vernon Deane, otherwise known as Chuggy,” who played the tuba and souzaphone in the school band, and was the pianist in the orchestra. Other seniors w ' ho attended the New Eng- land Music Festival this year were Greta Jen- sen, Sondra Ofstrock, Janice MsLane, and Bob Turner, who sang in the festival chorus. The four seniors w ' ho represented the class in the newly-formed student council were Greta sen, Sondra Ofstrock, Janice McLane, and Bob Bowman. Naturally, the council turned out to be a huge success. Doris Fisher was head cheerleader this year, and three senior girls under her dictatorship were Barb Keenan, Tillie” Jennings, and Pat Leonard. Without these girls I imagine there would have been less noise at our games than in one of Mr. Cavanaugh’s classes. Well, I suppose it’s about time to mention the immortal Senior Hay Ride”. To make a long story short: OH, BROTHER.” In all seriousness though, this was one of the most unforgettable nights in our senior history. Thanks to Greta Jensen and Joe Sambade, we had a good supply of hay, hot dogs, and you guessed it fun! We had our quota of football rallies, food sales, and dances, too, the proceeds of most of which went to both the senior class treasury and the Washington trip fund. Did someone say Washington trip?” That’s what the man said, Buster, what’s it to yuh?” Nothing, only from where I sit, that there trip deserves far more than just a slight men- tion.” And you are so right. The complete story of the trip is a book in itself, every chapter more shocking than the last. Perhaps the entire incident can best be des- cribed by listening to The Bunion Song”. Since walking was the thing we did the most of, bunions were the thing we had the most of; hence, the derivation of the peculiar title. To better understand the song, you should first learn that the Tavern was a hamburger stand directly across the street from the hotel which we often patronized between the hours of three and four, ( A.M. that is,) and that Joe refers to the lovable bus driver who drove us everywhere. Remember that the boys dwelled on the third floor, and the girls on the fourth, and that, on occasion , the rolls had a tendency to be hard. Take it away, kiddies:” (to the tune of 4 Leaf Clover ) Oh were going home now, but we won’t forget it, The fun that we had down there! The first thrill was Lincoln, the second was Jeff, The third was Joe, who told us where to go, oh, oh, ( Continued on Page 41) LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Thirty-nine PROPHECY PLACE: On a Heath near Teaticket TIME: 1989 SETTING: Three witches, (Hecate, Sondra Ofstrock; Beelzebub, Barbara Keenan; and Smorgasbord, Greta Jensen), are sit- ting around a black pot in front of which there is a sign reading 1989. In the back- ground are sitting Tommy Roberts and Hank Hall as angels in Heaven. In the foreground is a blazing red inferno in which are janet Pierce and Janice McLaugh- lin with whips in their hands. Signs signify the way up and the way down. At intervals Richard Lumbert enters carrying a tea- spoon of water — trying to put out the FIRE. Also, at intervals, enters Harry Silva carry- ing various articles to put in the pot.

He landed in the Cape Cod Hospital where the pretty nurses took care of him — Bob: What do you mean THEY took care of ME I took care of THEM!” Smorg: Keith Dean has his own poultry business. The only trouble is that he can’t tell a hen from a rooster and certain com- plications have arisen — in fact, there aren’t any eggs! ” Bub: Mary Ann Peterson is now rivaling the Yardstick . She calls her shop the Foot- board.” Fred Briggs: If you think hard, you can get it!” Hecate: JOAN Hoffer has become a world- renown lecturer.” ( Joan comes out on stage.) Joan: The world is unfair to snowmen! Even in Russia they melt!” Bub: Talk about unfairness! Gilbert Ar- RUDA is now serving time down at Barnstable Jail for speeding on his motorcycle.

She appears fanning her- self, and then is pulled down for a final time! ) Smorg: And 1 thought it was hot in Boston! Hecate: Yeah! Richard Perry is chief fire engineer down there. Doing a pretty good job, don’t you think?” (As a big puff of smoke comes up. ) Bub: Martha Rogers and Clifford Am- aral have finally taken the fatal step. This mutual attraction which first started in Mr. Lagroe’s English class has finally ended in marriage. They are the model couple of 1989.” Smorg: Betty ' Keeler and her brother have started their own transportation system to Bourne. They are keeping it in the family, of course!” Witches: Take it, mix it, stir it ’roun’.

These spit-balls not only have an excellent aim, but on arriving — squirt!” Bub: Speaking of explosions, Lillies Rose baked a cake for one of her cake sales, and blew herself up! ” Hecate: George Fish has driven for all the taxi companies in town, but he is now driv- ing a tourist bus. Seems he can see the sights better this way. Also, Dolores Vivieros has gone in for photography.

Hecate: Roger Blake was practicing a speech he was going to give last spring in front of the cows at Hunky Dory farm. They got sc excited ( those gestures, you know ) that they trampled him to death!” Smorg: At the age of fifty Arthur Mello had a change of life and imagined all the women were madly in love with him. It frightened him so he couldn’t take it and left the Bowery to enter a Monastarv.” Bub: Vociferous Vincent and Ferocious Fon- seca held their wrestling title bout last Fri- day night. This bout was scheduled for twen- ty years ago, but was postponed because of complications. They were helped into the ring and carried out!” Fred Briggs: Put THEM in the pot, boy!” Hecate: Vernon Deane was playing the piano for the Charles Atlas Club one day when the piano went right through the floor — but good old Vernon went right on play- ing! Can ' t say he didn ' t try!” Smorg: Doris Fisher has never given up cheering! ( Doris, as an old hag, does LAW- RENCE locomotive, drops dead in the mid- dle. ) Hecate: Well, she’s given up now!” Bub: Teaticket has become a booming metro- polis now. After Gladys Grey and Bobby Metell, and Bonny and Joe got married, the population seemed to increase by leaps and bounds!” Smorg: Pat Griffin spent so much money on candy bars that she decided to invent her own. The Yonny Candy Bar consists of pickled pig s feet, shredded skunk cabbage, toad stools, and moulded skimmed sour milk, all covered with chocolate!” Fred Briggs: Put THAT in the pot, boy!” Hecate: Poor Bob Turner.

He accidentally turned over and — fell off!” LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL F orty-one Bub: Eddie Donnelly struck oil one day and almost became a multi-millionaire.

Even she never found out who the first one was, but she has a suspicion it might be Barbara Geggatt, and they were such friends, too!” Hecate : The Falmouth beach is pretty crowded these days, but Pat and Ted have their same old place — the hot dog stand, of course!” Bub On her visit to the Supreme Court, Alida Mixson was so disgusted with their verdict on the case they were trying that she got up and spoke her mind.

C.! ) With tears in our eyes, (and I mean that in all sincerity), we look back upon all of these fond memories, and sadly say, Goodbye, and thank you, L.H.S., for all of the happy times you gave us.” Although some of our history still remains unwritten, that is, our class play, senior prom, and graduation, you can bet your old rubber boots that these things will be just as wonder- ful and unforgettable as all of the things we have already told you, in this, our history of the class of 1949- Forty-two THE LAWRtNClAN-1949 CLASS GIFTS Priscilla Vincent.

What impressed us most you are asking? Well, that is a very difficult question to answer, because actually everything we saw impressed us, and the more we saw, the more we seemed to be impressed. One of the most outstanding spectacles, however, and something which I doubt any of us will forget for a long time to come, was the beautiful Lincoln Memorial. When asked to describe this immense struc- ture. a senior girl gave the following account: I realize now that it would be impossible to perceive the grandeur of this beautiful mon- ument unless one actually saw it. No picture or description could ever do it justice. And this, I believe, is exactly the way most of us feel about the situation in general. We could not possibly describe the wonderment of any monument and buildings that we saw on our tours; we can only say that we thoroughly enjoyed every single thing we saw, and were amazed to find that there were so many dean white buildings, as most of us were under the impression that the whiteness was over-exag- gerated in pictures. Equally outstanding, and enjoyable, was our tour of the Capitol, our hike up the Washing- ton Monument, our visit to Mount Vernon, the Franciscan Monastery, (and oh, those dark catamombs. ) our visit to the Jefferson Me- morial, the Congressional Library, (at night), the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, (there we did the most drooling), and the gigantic Smithsonian Institute. Exceptionally interesting was the beautiiful Washington Cathedral, about which most of us agreed that it shore was big”. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Arlington Cemetery also afforded many points of interest. (Though rather sad.) As for our extensive night life, one might say it began shortly after the evening meal and ended shortly before breakfast. Until the clock struck 12:00, we could be found patronizing the local dance halls, movies, swimming pools, roller skating rinks, and the like. After the curfew hour, however, we might have been most anywhere in the hotel Annap- olis. Next began our endless round of pajama parties, hall episodes, and general off the record” antics. To give you a brief idea of the situation, let’s take a quick peek in room 422 about 2:00 A.M. on any morning. Everyone is gaily filling their weary looking faces, and everybody seems to have something to say. Certain occupants of the room are clad in very ususual looking pajamas, etc., and these provide the subject of discussion, to some ex- tent. A group of overtired little devils is quietly sabotaging some poor soul ' s bed with a few thousand cracker crumbs. ( Anything for a laugh, you know.) Suddenly someone yells the dreaded words: Here comes Mr. Jaszek!! Just as suddenly the bathroom and closets become very overcrowded, while three or four innocents” are left to face the music. As usual, however, some little prankster de- cided it would be fun to pull a false alarm. When dawn broke, you can imagine how we felt. In short, we didn’t. We just moved me- chanically and hoped for the best. Now you can understand why we arrived in New York with one eye open. Immediately upon our arrival, we made a complete tour of the city. We saw everything from the Empire State building to the Statue of Liberty and Grant ' s tomb. That night we did the town in our usual overtired way, and returned at 1:00 A.M. (not too sharp ) , and began to tear apart everyone and everything in the hotel Picadilly. On the following day, ( and our last . . . sob, sob), we toured Radio City and the N.B.C. Studio, where some of us were televised. Later that day, most of us attended the Sonja Henie ice show, Howdy, Mr. Ice ”, and went to a Perry Como broadcast that evening. Speaking of that evening, it see ms that we all unanimously decided not to go to bed at all. We weakened, however, and betrayed ourselves by bouncing into bed around 5:00 A.M., at which time we decided to get up and pack our suitcases for the sad trip home. Now that we re back home and broke with our stack of bleary photographs, and humming strains of the Bunion Song”, our sincere wish is to thank Mr. and Mrs. Jaszek for being two of the best chaperones any class ever had. And we do hope that you juniors will have the opportunity to make the trip next year, be- cause it’s one thing you just can’t afford to miss, and is by far the greatest thing that ever happened to this bunch of 37 happy seniors, ever! Fifty-four THE LA WRENCIAN — 1949 u The Adorable Imp” ' T , HE Adorable Imp” is a suitable name for A the gay rolicking comedy presented by the senior class on May 25 and 26. The play starts with Betty Lou Gordon, a sev- enteen year old girl, who believes herself in love with a collegiate hero whom she has never met but has seen once for exactly fifteen minutes during a football game. Betty Lou’s grand- mother, Abby Simpkins, is most unsympathe- tic about the whole situation although she her- self is quite concerned about a Mr. Clint Purdy, an old bachelor farmer, who has been sparkin’ her for nearly ten years, but who has never popped the question. Hortense Hostetter, the comical maid, offers condolences with her own particular brand of humor. Brian Barclay, the next-door neighbor, is in love with Pamela Gor- don, Betty Lou’s mother, but cannot marry her because his daughter Malvina a scarred neurotic virl threatens to shoot Pamela with a butcher- knife or stab her with a shotgun if she marries her father. Pam, in the meantime, has been taking health baths at a sanitarium where she met the wealthy Pickrells. She has become romantically inter- ested in Dilworth Pickrell but is a little fazed because he is younger than she. She, therefore, pushes her own age back six years, pushes the age of her daughter back six years, and while she is at it takes six years from her mother’s fifty-three years. Winston Pickrell, Dil’s grand- Senior T , HE senior prom presented on Friday night. A May 20, at the Falmouth Recreation BuiiJ- ing was a great success despite the rainy wea- ther. Kemp Read’s orchestra outshone every- one’s greatest expectations and really turned out a smooth performance. The prom itself started promptly at 8:30 P. M. and a bevy of beautifully gowned girls and handsomely dressed fellows continually flowed into the Recreation Building. The dance floor was surrounded by tables reserved for the seniors and their guests while the other under- graduates sat on the sidelines. The beautiful gowns and handsome tuxedos turned the Recreation Building into a regular night club. White, red. blue and orchid gowns were well set off by the white dinner jackets of the male escorts. The large ballroom was decorated with gaily colored streamers and three huge plastic bags father, is romantically interested in Abby but wants a wife twenty-five years younger than his own seventy-two years. Betty Lou poses as a child of eleven; Clint as an Irish cook, and Brian as a butler, and the whole uproarious affair comes to a climax when Ross Waldron, Winston’s younger grandchild, turns out to be Betty Lou ' s secret love, but ar- rives at the Gordon’s so called haunted” man- sion with Imogene Van Rydon, Pickerell’s over- sophistocated ward. Imogene gets Ross to pro- pose in between sneezing fits ( she is allergic to cats and Betty Lou has a pet cat, Albert ) . The riotous situation works out in an all’s well that ends well” way. Ross finds out Betty Lou is actually seventeen and not an impish eleven year old child; Clint and Brian are found out”; Malvina is made beautiful, while Dilworth and Winston retire thwarted roman- tically. Poor Imogene comes out the worst of the lot. All she is left with is the new batch of kittens that Albert” obligingly has had on her new fur coat. The characters in this grand light comedy were: Betty Lou, Priscilla Jennings; Hortense, Marcianna Fonseca; Abby. Greta Jensen: Brian, Robert Faria; Malvina. Joan Holder; Pamela, Nancy Clark; Clint. Roger Blake; Winston, Clifford Amaral; Dil worth, George Sawyer; Imogene, Nancy Carragher; Ross, Charles Fraser. Prom filled with blown-up balloons suspended from the ceiling. The bags were released during the evening and everyone captured at least one for a souvenir. The hard work of the senior social committee really paid off and everyone was de- lighted at the transformation of the room. During the intermission guests were served refreshments by the able ninth grade waiters and waitresses and the ice cream, cookies, and punch really hit the spot”. After intermission the orchestra picked Adel- ma Senate as Queen of the Prom”. Adelma’s gown of fushia taffeta was highlighted by two lovely gardenias. She was presented with a silver necklace and a crown in honor of being chosen Queen . Everyone perfectly agreed that this vear’s senior prom was a great success and could not possibly have been handled any better. Every- one had a wonderful time and — isn’t that what everybody wants? LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Fifty-five Graduation Greta Jensen, ’49 UR graduation from twelve years of school has finally come. We have reached the end. The end? Oh, but, no, it is just the be- ginning — a Commencement”. These, the first seventeen or eighteen years of our lives, have quickly sped past and our matured life now lies before us. These will be the years when we must practice what we have learned. We are the Forty-Niners”. One hundred years ago there were forty-niners also; forty- niners who started new frontiers — who went out into strange places in search of gold. We, the graduating class, are like these. We, too are going to start new frontiers — frontiers in our own lives. We shall make a beginning for ourselves in any field we wish and some of us may make that beginning into something that will be remembered for centuries. We, too are going to search for gold; perhaps not for material weal ' h. but for a knowledge, a wis- dom of life, which certainly surpasses any glit- tering treasure. Our gold will be knowing how to love our fellow men and knowing how to do unto others as we would they do unto us. Our generation has one of the biggest prob- lems of all time to face — that of world neace. It will be a hard problem and perhaps we will not be able to solve it, but we know that it is up to us to try, and although we are very much burdened with fear, we will try. Yes, the future is ours — to shape, to mold, to hammer into any pattern we see fit. Grad- uation i s over, but, for us, the world has just begun. May God feel that we deserve the best that life can give us. School Spirit Sondra Ofstrock, ’49 T HOSE two words really sink deep when one pauses to think about them. What do they actually mean? Does it mean only supporting your home team? Or does it mean just giving vocal approval but not your entire support? Actually, school spirit” is a combination of our apt school motto: Loyalty, Honor, Ser- vice”. Be loyal to your school, your classmates, your teachers. Be loyal in every sense of the word and loyal to the greatest extent of your ability. Honor your school. Give it all the respect it is due and eventually you will find your effort not in vain. You get out of a school all you put into it. Serve your school so that you ' ll be proud to say you belong to it and it will be proud to belong to you. Farewell Connie Craig, ’50 T HE time has come for you, the member: of the Class of ’49, to take your place among the graduates of L.H.S. We, the under- classmen, sadly acknowledge this, and bid you a fond farewell, and wish you all the luck as you go forward to meet the world which lies beyond the doors of Lawrence High. As you leave the school forever, keep in mind the ideals with which we all are very familiar — Loyalty, Honor, and Service. Knowing these and realizing all they mean should help make your road through life straight and true. We shall remember you, the glory you brought to L.H.S. , and the good will with which you set to work to do the tasks before you. And so. farewell, and keep up the good work, Class of ’49! TH li LAWRENC1AN— 1949 Fifty-six SOCIAL COMMITTEE Chairman: Cynthia Augusta Barbara Cummings Priscilla Jennings Patricia Griffin Greta Jensen Dick Corey George Fish Louis Oliver Joe Sambade Sondra Ofstrock Joan Hoffer Marcianna Fonseca Flarry Silva Rita Teixeira T HIS year’s Social Committee certainly has been a busy organization. The first event was the Sophomore Initiation. That was a swell start as we all will quite will- ingly agree. The next busy event was a Football Rally and Dance the night before the big game on Thanksgiving. Although Falmouth did not ccme out on top, we all certainly appreciate the fine spirit shown in the speeches given by Coach Kinney and his boys. The new and biggest event of the year was also thought up by these master minds, and that, my friends, was that never to be forgotten Hay Ride, for Seniors and their guests. The Winter Holidays were not overlooked either. They were quite elaborately celebrated by the Yuletide Frolic at the Recreation Build- ing on December twenty-eighth. Don’t think that this busy, energetic group is stopping here, because it is going right on with the Prom and Graduation exercises that will long be remembered.

STUDENT COUNCIL A T the beginning of the school year, one of the favorite topics was the organization of a Student Council. Around the end of Novem- ber, the plans having been completed, the stu- dents of Lawrence High School went to the ballot boxes and dropped in their selections. Each pupil voted for the four members of his class who he thought are best qualified to repre sent his wishes in matters pertaining to school activities. When the final tabulations were recorded, Lawrence High School had a student council with Mr. Quick as advisor. One of the first things that had to be accomplished was the electing of the officers, which took place with the following results: Fred Bowman, President; Richard Jones, Vice-President; Greta Jensen, Secretary; Madeline Keenan, Treasurer. This being the first student council in many years, we were new to the duties and responsi- bilities of our organization. Among our ac- complishments have been: a card party to raise money, a piano concert featuring Mr. William Haacker. music at Christmas time, and a visita- tion of other schools to see the manner in which they are run. These and other lesser activities concluded our first year in existence, but let us hope that in the future the Student Council of L.H.S. will improve and widen its span of influence. LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Fifty-seven UNDFOAWMS Fifty-eight THE LA WRENCI AN— 1 949 CLASS OF 1951 Jane Landers, ’51 Sophomore Class Officers Isabel Rogers, Leah Coguen, Barbara Pacheco, Philip White, John Justason. The musical members of our class again brought honor to us and much credit and en- joyment to themselves. Leah Goguen, Jane Lan- ders, and Paul Anderson were chosen to sing in the L.H.S. Selected Choir, while Carol Lusk, Jane Landers, and Brenda Bowman played in the All Cape and Islands Orchestra during Music Week. Brenda was the only Sophomore chosen to attend the New England Music Festival in Wellesley. She played the violin in the Festival Orchestra. We were very much honored to have Brenda represent us at the Music Festival and she again represented us at the Cape Spelling Bee over WOCB on April 9. Several of our boys went out for baseball and made up a good percentage of the teams. Isabelle Rogers and Vivian Hodgkins made the honor roll at the second marking period and the following were on the certificate list: Cecilia Bento, Brenda Bowman, Jennie Cardoza, Edna Furtado Leah Goguen, Richard Holmes, Robert Marshall, John Mixson, Barbara Pacheco, Er- nestine Peters, Marlene Rapoza, Joan Rocker, Henry Schroeder, and Phyllis Sullivan. We have enjoyed our first year in High School and are looking forward to our Junior Year with our Class motto in mind, Either I shall find a way or I shall make one.” A FTER the first half of the year of getting broken in, we Sophomores swung along at rhythmic pace. We continued in our various activities and several members brought honor to our class. Early in the second term we selected our class colors, flower, and motto. Our colors are green and white, our flower is the sweet pea, and our motto is Either I shall find a way or I shall make one”. We are trying hard to live up to this motto After the highly successful $350 Bean Sup- per, our ambition was still high towards earning money. So w ' e sold L.H.S. pins with maroon and white ribbons attached and we also held an old-fashioned Barn Dance on April 28. Both of these money-making schemes were a success financially. Mr. Guy H. Lagroe Senior English LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Fifty-nine CLASS OF 1950 Connie W HAT a year this has been for the Jun- iors! These peppy people have been con- tinuing their wonderful high school careers and having an exciting time along with it (?). Many junior boys were sent out to fight during the football season. They were all swell players and brought great glory to the class. At the end of the year, Barry Beale was elected cap- tain of next year’s team! Congratulation, Barry. Both the girls and boys went out for basket- ball and showed what the juniors are made of when they played. We’re active musically too— many of those lovely ( ? ) sounds coming from under the door of the Main Room belong to us. Dorothy Van Tol, Audrey Mixson, and Lemoyne Palmer play the violin in the orchestra and Jean Cantwell toots her trumpet in our sensational band. Junior Class Officers Bill Regan, Geraldine DeMello, Romeo LaFond, Bob Kelley. Our own queen of the drums, Lois Day, beat her way to fame when she won first prize at a talent show during the year. Natalie MacDougall was a very much en- vied person during the month of April, for this lucky lady was the only junior chosen to go to the Music Festival in Wellesley. Louise Swenson, Constance Craig, Richard Jones, and Romeo Lafond are the four juniors serving on the newly-organized this year Stu- dent Council. Constance Craig has been elected to go to Girls’ State this summer by the Outlook Club while Roy A. Berg, Jr. will be sponsored at Boys’ State by the American Legion. The Juniors compose quite a large percent- age in the school literary works too. Ginger Merrill, Louise Swenson. Natalie MacDougall, and Connie Craig are on the Literary Staff of the Lawrencictn and lean Cantwell, Dorothy Van Tol, Lemoyne Palmer. Pat Sullivan, Mar- lene Newcomb, and Ann Peters made the busi- ness staff. Finally! They arrived! Yes, after waiting for what seemed years, those beautiful red, blue, or onyx ( color choice ) rings arrived. All but one, that is — Ann Thobae’s plain gold bit of jewelry was the only one of its kind and is due some- time in May. And it was first due in February — not too sharp! Oh, let’s not forget that top function of the juniors, the spaghetti supper. This great event was quite successful — at least we’re sure that the folks who attended had a big time. Square dancing was enjoyed by all. Then while the dancers rested their trying ordeal, the Dubiliers and the Coast Guard entertained with a very exciting ( ? ) basketball game. Regular dancing topped off the evening. Other social ideas are at this very moment in the making! Plans for a hayride are being made — and who knows what else these busy little juniors will dream up to put on — anything from a swimming meet to a Prom! Ann Thobae, Ginger Merrill, Connie Craig, Louise Swenson, Richard Tobey, and Ted Blom- berg help to edit that great pride of every L.H.S.’er, the Student Intelligencer. As this year draws to an eventful close, each junior looks forward with great glee to next year when we ll begin our final and greatest year at L.H.S.

With a rather dismal 4 won and 5 lost record, Lawrence High fin- ished in the middle of the Class D standing. MIDDLEBORO 20 — L.H.S. 7 An underdog, Middleboro High, proved to be too powerful an opponent as they laced the Maroon and White by an overwhelming 20 to 7 score. Lawrence High’s lone tally came late in the third quarter when George Greene plowed his way to pay dirt. L.H.S. 34 — PROVINCETOWN 0 Making use of a size and weight advantage, Lawrence High scrimmaged against a weak P’town team, finally winning by 34 points. John Irving’s two touchdowns sparked the scor- ing spree. L.H.S. 19 — BOURNE 0 George Greene once again provided the thrills of the game, when he, acting as the big gun of the afternoon, practically defeated an injury riddled B.H.S. team singlehanded. Add- ing 13 points to the 19-0 score, Big George led the team in the side show. VOCATIONAL HIGH 6 — L.H.S. 0 Vocational, pushovers in past years, landed in L.H.S. its second setback as it came up off the field in the second quarter to p ass to six points for the only score of the game. With Falmouth’s forward wall unable to move, Voca- tional won 6 to 0. ST. ANTHONY 7 — L.H.S. 6 A near tie but only a defeat because of a missed extra point saw Falmouth engage in battle with St. Anthony of New Bedford. Com- pletion of a pass from quarterback. Chuck Fraser, had L.H.S. leading at half time, but the Saints bounced back from defeat to score and split the uprights for a 7 to 6 victory. FAIRHAVEN 7 — FALMOUTH 0 Fairhaven, one of Class D’s mainstays, was on the verge of being an upset until in the re- maining 20 seconds an intercepted pass and a surprise attack saw them carry off the laurels. Falmouth seemed to match this powerhouse but still came off the field on the short end of a 7 to 0 score. FALMOUTH 19 — YARMOUTH 7 Breaking into the win column for the third time, L.H.S. came through with an important victory over Yarmouth. Early in the game L.H.S. racked off 19 points to sew up a 19 to 7 win. FALMOUTH 7 — WAREHAM 6 Proving that Lawrence was not to be as un- der rated as their record showed, they played host to an unbeaten Wareham eleven and won. Sparkling plays by Fraser and Peters set up the touchdown; then Irving plunged over for 6 points and also kicked the winning extra point. Lawrence became the talk of Cape Cod as they came out of the game winners. BARNSTABLE 6 — L.H.S. 0 Cape Cod’s annual football classic is the Barnstable vs. Falmouth Thanksgiving Day game. Lawrence, expecting a repeat of last year’s victory, found themselves being defeated by their arch rivals. Sustained drives ended in failure and the scoring punch was lacking. B.H.S. bulled over for the 6 points and the game as Lawrence went down to its fifth de- feat in nine tries. BASEBALL C X)ACH Gov. Fuller, after seeing a near rec- • ord turnout of thirty-six ball players for spring practice, declared that the ”49” season would see him field his greenest squad during his coaching career. With but three regulars back from last year’s squad, these being Chuck Fraser, George Sawyer, and Fred Bowman, a complete rebuilding job is needed. Hitting power is now definitely lacking; the infield is fair and the fly-chasing trio does not measure ud to past standards, but the ace-in-the- hole is southpaw Fred Bowman, who came along fast last year and earned the rank of first string pitcher. With a 12 game schedule, L.H.S. is faced with its most trying year in baseball.

Seventy THE LAWRENCIAN — 1949 New England Music Festival Lillies Rose, ’49 T HIS year the New England Music Festival was held at Wellesley, Massachusetts. There were seven students who represented Lawrence High School. Lillies Rose and Brenda Bowman were violinists who participated in the orches- tra; Robert Turner, Sondra Ofstrock. Greta Jen- sen, Janice McLane, and Natalie MacDougall were in the chorus. Wednesday, March 30, 1949 We left Lawrence High School at 10:00 a.m. and were on our way to the Festival. We ar- rived at 1:00 p.m. and registered at the High School Gym and were told where we were to live and where we were to practice. At 5:00 p.m., there was a mass meeting in the auditor- ium. We were introduced to the people who made the Festival possible. At 7:00 p.m., we were scheduled for a rehearsal until 9:00 p.m. We had curfew at 10:30 p.m. Thursday, March 31, 1949 Today was a busy day for everyone. We had practice from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 m. and from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m., and at 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. the orchestra had sectional rehearsals. After we had finished there was a dance in the High School Gym. Friday, April 1, 1949 Today as usual we had practices the same time, except that in the afternoon we gave a concert to the school children. Just before the concert some of us went on a tour to Cambridge to see the glass flowers and a few museums. At night we had another rehearsal from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. At this rehearsal the orchestra played an April Fool on Mr. Nassi, the director. When he made the first down beat with his baton, no one played and all yelled April Fool. Saturday, April 2, 1949 Today was the big day. We had practice as usual in the morning and in the afternoon we had our second concert. The concert was broadcast all over New England. At 8:15 p.m. was the big concert; some of our Mothers and Fathers were there to hear us. The stage was beautifully arranged with the girls in their pastel gowns and the boys in their dark suits for the Orchestra and Chorus. The Band was resplendent in its uniforms of many colors. The concert was a great success and the students worked hard. After the concert there was a dance in the College ballroom. Sunday, April 3, 1949 It was a sad day, for everyone was going heme, all in different directions. Cape Cod Music Festival Lillies Rose, ’49 T70UR students from Lawrence High School participated in the All Cape and Island Or- chestra, Saturday, April 30, in Orleans.

At 8:00 p.m. we were in our seats ready to play for the concert. After the concert there was a dance.
