LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Seven Eight THE LA WRENCIAN— 1 950 Ok, Principal’s WL fedda e T HIS year is a very important one in history. It marks the end of the first half century — or, better still, it marks the beginning of the last half century. Historians have taken this occasion to review the progress of the past fifty years and to make some predictions for the next fifty. To the thousands of young people gradu- ating this year as Half Century Seniors” the accomplishments of the past are your founda- tions for the future. De?nocracy — the right to a free life, is yours, fought for and preserved during these past fifty years at a staggering expense of life. The great- est obligation that you have is to preserve this form of life; to keep this country of ours free from selfish interests always trying in devious ways to wrest this priceless possession from us. We in Falmouth have many things to look ahead to, many of them brought about by you young people in school today. Education has grown by leaps and bounds — it is reaching every ' person young and old alike, it has brought the light of understanding and the joy of appre- ciation to more people in the past fifty years than in all previous history. You people have shown and will continue to show the value of education by the things you do with your life and your abilities. You have already shown the need for a better school with adequate and up- to-date facilities so that the young people fol- lowing you may be better prepared to live in and to help make Falmouth a leader in the edu- cation field. It is because of your attitudes and your needs that Falmouth has been willing to take this important step. As graduates of Lawrence High School I hope that you will always feel a sense of responsibility to the town and its citizens for the opportun- ities it has provided for you. As citizens your- selves I sincerely hope that your interests and your efforts will help Falmouth continue to develop and grow and that the opportunities for education will be uppermost in your minds. You graduate from L.H.S. with the best wishes of your parents and the teachers who have guided you through these past twelve years of public school. Your diploma is a symbol of the confidence we have in you. Give the chal- lenge of the next half century your very best and the historians of the future will have deeds and accomplishments far beyond our present imagination to record against your names.

The long-expected, long- awaited event has come and we are no longer students, but graduates of Lawrence High School. Twelve years ago, it seemed like an unattainable goal, but finally we have reached it. Today we graduate. We are happy because the long days of grind are over. Today is fair — but what will tomorrow bring? We, the class of 1950, are entering a world full of strife and trouble. It is up to us, and to others of our generation, to try ' to pull the world out of the mess in which it finds itself. A hard job for laughing, care-free teen-agers fresh out of high school. We start our job at an appropriate time — at the half-century mark. Fifty years remain to us to do our share of rebuilding and helping the world to its feet once more. Fifty years. We Shall Not Falter” in doing our duty. Our days at Lawrence High have taught us how to live with one another and share the happiness or the sorrow. We have learned how to accept responsibility and carry it out. We are now prepared to face the world and what- ever problems lie ahead. As we leave the portals of the old red build- ing for the last time, thoughts of happy days float through our minds. Although we are glad to leave now, we shall long remember high school days as among the best of our lives. We have grown up. We are leaving the old way of life and beginning anew. Memory of our motto — With threads of knowledge we weave success” and the learning gained at Law- rence High will guide us all in our various paths through life. farewell Isabel Rogers , ' 51 O NCE more graduation time rolls around and you, the members of the class of 1950, comprise another honored graduating class. We sadly watch you leave L.H.S. but we keep in mind the expectations which the future will see you fulfill. As you go on to further edu- cation or follow your chosen career we are sure that you will add new and greater achievements to the list of honors already yours. Holding high the ideals of Loyalty, Honor and Service,” we know that With threads of knowledge you will weave success.” We, the undergraduates, wish you good for- tune in achieving this success! LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Thirty-seven Thirty-eight THE LAWRENCIAN— 1950 mu the on or E VERY year two members of the senior class are chosen to have their names cast in bronze on the Henry Herbert Smythe Honor Roll. These two, a boy and a girl, are the students, who in the eyes of their classmates best exemplify the qualities of Loyalty, Honor and Service. Ann Thobae and Romeo Lafond are this year’s additions to the Roll of Honor. C. DU ae A NN, social chairman for the class of 1950, has played an active part in the activities of the school. One of the literary ' editors of the Laivrencian, Ann has sung in the Glee Club and was a member of the cast of the senior class play, You Can’t Take It With You.’’ She rep- resented L.H.S. at the Good Government Day in Boston and is one of the reporters for the Student Intelligencer. A member of the Nation- al Honor Society, Ann is planning to attend Skidmore College after completion of her high school course. R OMEO, class president, has played an im- portant part in holding the class of 1950 together during their years at Lawrence High School. Romeo is a member of the Student Council and the National Guard. As a Student Council member, he served as a representative to the Southeastern Branch Student Council Convention in Fairhaven. He portrayed one of the leading characters in the senior class play, You Can’t Take It With You.” Romeo has nothing definitely planned after he graduates from Lawrence High School.

New York certainly is a far cry from Falmouth but were all very much at home — water shortage and all! After checking in at the Picad illy, we looked down on the mighty skyscrapers of the city and then were conducted on a tour of N.B.C.. The show at the Center Theatre was out of this world and our seats in the third balcony were perfect! Times Square at midnight was something never to be forgotten either. April 2, 1950 Dear Diary, Washington is the most beautiful city in the world! We traveled all day, stopping in Maryland for lunch and at the Franciscan Mon- astery for a look-see and finally arrived at the capitol about five. Swimming, movies, and dining with friends in Washington were the events of the evening — with everyone back at the Willard fairly early to enjoy the niceness of the hotel. April 3, 1950 Dear Diary, This was the day! Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Mount Vernon, Arlington Cemetery and the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier — we saw everything!! Mount Vernon was just as we had imagined it would be — and more. We almost expected Washington to step out of the house and ask us to step in- side — but of course he didn’t. As we were in Virginia, we soon picked up real Southern accents — the elevator boy at the Willard was quite impressed when we announced Eight phase” in our most effective drawls. TTre Washington Monument was another hi-lite. The elevator was so crowded, we decided to walk down the mere 600 feet. Around and around we ran, only to reach the bottom with the desire to be carried to the bus. This eve- ning we visited the Congressional library and went back to the Lincoln Memorial to get a look at the three expressions on Lincoln’s face. After that, we invaded Washington — some of us going to The Lotus where we were enter- LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Forty-one tained with a floorshow while we sipped lemonades, others viewing various capital mov- ies April 4, 1950 Dear Diary, Today we saw the Bureau of Engraving, the Supreme Court Building, the Archives, the F.B.I. and the Capitol. In the afternoon, we split up, some of us going to the Pentagon for lunch — the rest traveling to Annapolis for a look at the academy. Our last night in Wash- ington was pretty much like the others — except tonight we gave Loretta a surprise party. She ' s 18. April 5, 1950 Dear Diary, How we hated to leave Washington — what a city! Had a lovely trip along the Skyline Drive atop the Blue Ridge Mountains and finally arrived where we are tonight — New Market, Va. We had dinner at the Endless Caverns and then were taken on a tour through the breathtaking underground rooms. After the tour, we danced and wrote postcards until we were informed that it was time to return to our rooming houses, which were scattered over the town. April 6, 1950 Dear Diary, Up early again and after breakfasting at the Caverns we were on our way. A Snake Farm and the Gettysburg Battlefield were our stops for the day and we pulled into York, Pa. about suppertime. Movies and bowling occupied our evening. Everyone seems to be coming to bed readily and early tonight. April 7, 1950 Dear Diary, Valley Forge was cold — just like the history books say! vWe also were delighted with our stops at Independence Hall in Philadelphia and the glance we got of the Betsy Ross house. But the biggest thrill came when we saw the New York skyline in the distance and about four o’clock found us back in New York, New York, A Wonderful Town . This eve- ning will never be forgotten by any of us. One group went to Bop City to hear Lionel Hampton, another went atmosphere and sou- venir hunting at Jack Dempsey’s, and still another attended the Easter Show at Radio City Music Hall. No one w r ants to go to bed tonight, but at the two o’clock deadline we’re all tucked in. April 8, 1950 Dear Diary, We’re home! Some of us went shopping this morning on Fifth Avenue while others who could get up early took a trip to the Statue of Liberty. When they played Going Home at Grand Central we all felt like crying. Play- ing cards, getting caught up on lost sleep, and lunching in the dining car aboard the Yankee Clipper took up our afternoon and we were home in time for supper. Falmouth seems quiet next to the hustle and bustle of NYC, and our wonderful week full of exciting ex- periences is over. C ONNIE Craig represented Lawrence High School and the Jonathan Hatch Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution at the D.A.R. Convention held at the Copley Plaza in Boston on March 30th. The Good Citizens representing their various high schools heard speeches, were rewarded with a delicious lunch, and were taken on a guided tour of the State House, where they had the good luck to meet Governor Dever. At the close of the conven- tion, the names of all the girls were placed in a box and the lucky lady whose name was drawn won a one-hundred dollar bond and a trip to Washington, D. C.!!

ACT II If you’re not going to learn your lines, at least pick your cues up while reading out of the book! ACT III Learn your lines!! Learn your lines!! I hate you all. Everybody go home!! That was It Was Fun Trying,” but this is You Can’t Take It With You”. The Senior girls and boys who participated in the class play, whether on stage or off, can with un- biased truth say that they loved every minute of it, even when we all wished everyone in the cast would drop dead. In all the years and months that we’ve been together never before did the ham” become so pronounced in the senior as when we started acting for You Can ' t Take It With You”. Egad, what actors — surely they must have trained for years to obtain such fi- nesse. The very essence of hammy over-acting filled the room at the first few rehearsals. But this group wasn’t knocked down a peg or two — no, we had the ladder knocked completely from under cur tootsies. Mr. Longyear, our most capable director, without whom we could never have gotten along, told everyone exactly where we stood at the first rehearsal. No need to say more— practice every night except Sat- urday and show up Sunday afternoon without fail. The rehearsals went on and on, and we got worse and worse. No one could get his lines memorized or his cues on time. I’m sure we’U all never forget a particular Sunday after- noon when we did one scene all afternoon and on into the nite without getting it within laugh- ing distance of perfection. Those were the days! When Mr. Longyear would sit on the fl oor and give up in utter despair, we knew it was time for some singing and guitar playing beside the big blazing fireplace. These were our lighter moments. We learned famous old folk songs and added some ourselves. Everyone willingly contributed their talents to making rest period fun enough to keep us going on into the next scene. Mrs. Longyear, our grac- ious hostess, served the gang creamy hot choc- olate and cookies. What a life saver! When rehearsals started in the auditorium, rest period still included singing, piano playing and general fooling. Well, after almost three months of continual rehearsals, we were beginning to catch on to what the director was trying to drill into all the thick skulls. Finally on a Wednesday after- noon the first performance was to be given for the grade schools. This was more or less the final dress rehearsal. The kiddies screeched and rampaged like a Saturday cowboy matinee, while Bob Kelley politely shouted at the top of his lungs to sit down and shut up. There’s more coming. Most of the lines got mixed up and we did the play almost backwards — but the kiddies did enjoy those firecrackers! With a special curtain call planned, we were a few minutes late. But when we did get set for the rising we looked to our dismay to find that the children had deserted us — except for two who generously poked their heads around the door. Was it worth twenty-five cents? But the grand opening Thursday night and Friday night’s performance were both great successes as far as the seniors were concerned. No one got stage struck as far as we know — and the hams” have come down to earth again, ( well, at least part way). The audiences were won- derful, and we only hope that they enjoyed the performances as much as we loved giving them. Which all goes to prove that a little hard work pays off in great dividends — especially feeling happy and satisfied. The cast of You Can’t Take It With You” By Moss Hart and George S.

The evening began at eight o’clock when waves of music of Ralph Stuart’s orchestra floated out from stage and filled every nook and cranny of the large hall. Tables trimmed with balloon centerpieces were deserted when the band struck its first chord. The music was excellent! After the sixth dance the seniors showed their marching ability in the grand march which was followed by the presentation of a carnation, the class flower, to each of the march- ers. In a short dance, exclusively for seniors again, the orchestra selected Louise Swenson as queen of the prom. President Romeo Lafond crowned her with a gold tiara and presented her with a locket in remembrance of this gala occassion. T HE annual senior Freak Day dawned rainy, drizzly, and wet as is the usual custom. But these poor conditions in the weather did nothing to dull the excitement and fun of nearly thirty members of the class of ’50 who tripped merrily into the old building in all types of weird costumes. Midgets, boys dressed as elderly women, girls in men’s clothing — even an entire wedding party showed up at L.H.S. on May Day! Ever see a clothesline and clothes- poles walking? If you had been at school May 1st, you would have! The Bobbsey Twins ar- rived, as did two little girls sucking lollipops. Daisy Mae was among the dressed-up seniors — and evidently Freak Day was also Sadie Hawk- in’s Day, for the barefooted blonde had roped three or four roaming men by the time the fes- tivities were over. The seniors remained in their get-ups and paraded through the three schools until third period, when the order came to Go back to classes. And so Freak Day was over for an- other year — and the seniors were one step closer to graduation.

Louise: Wow, we arrived just in time for the Moon vs. Saturn football game. Connie: Yes — and have you heard who the stars from Moon are? None other than Barry Beale, George Crocker, Roy Peterson, Curt Frye, John Irving, Dick Jones, Frank Rose, Karl Mills, John Pinho, Walter Carroll, Al- len Henry, Donald Wood and Donald Hill. I guess everyone that ever played football for L.H.S. is out there fighting today. Louise: Funny how things work out. They say Freddy Jensen has gone down to earth and is a real city slicker. Elgin Nickerson is raising a new brand of potatoes called Moon potatoes — and it ' s now up to Barbara Emmell to keep those Maine potatoes going. They’re not the only ones raising things though. Erdine An- drade, Adelino Cardoza, Isaac Barrows, Nellie Hicks, George Mello, James Moniz, and Nancy Riene are all stalwart members of the CSGOTM — Cranberry, Strawberry Growers of the Moon. Connie: I wish Josephine Rezendes and Lois Day could have made it this weekend. But Josie’s off the moon at the moment — and no one ever sees Lois anymore. They say she spends all her time in the house poring over books! Imagine! Oh well, Manny Barboza got here. Manny did make a success of him- self in music and has finally achieved the popularity that Billy Eckstein had in 1950. Come on up and sing for us, Manny! Louise: That was just like old times. By the way, I hear that Bill Regan spends his time chasing moonbeams while Cynny stays home and preserves the ones he caught the day be- fore. Flash: Blomberg’s Ferry Service has just announced a new lower rate for the flight from moon to earth on the Trans-moon air- lines! The special trip will be piloted by Phil Choate and Lemoyne Palmer will serve as stewardess! Connie: You know — Carmen Viega, Danny Balona, Claire Bento, Joan Benevides, and Lorraine DeMello had such a good time on the Washington trip that they’ve been traveling ever since. Latest reports say that they ran out of places to go and have taken up residence in the Willard at Washington. Iffloon — IJear 2000 Another one who has traveled a lot is Marva Jenney — she was the first to settle at the new development on the moon. Louise: i ay, there ' s Biff Baker — on his way to give a concert no doubt. How about the Wabash Cannon Ball,” Biff? (Biff sings). More talent in the old classmates can be proved by the news that Romeo Lafond has the leading role in They Took It Anyway” now playing at the Milky Way Theatre. Gladys Jennings, Mary Osborne, Helen Me- deiros, and Pat Lawrence also appear in the play. Another classmate who made good is Charlie Eastman, who is all ready for the opening game of the All-Stars. Connie: Loren Barrows recently won the Pulit- zer Prize for his noble achievements in long descriptive writing! And Bob Kelley grew three feet since Lawrence High days — must be hard getting shoes. But Geraldine De- Mello and Sis Hoffer never grew — they’re still the kids they were on Freak Day back at good old L.H.S. Louise: There are oodles of success stories! Mim Hampton, Lucinda Lopes, and Rose Soares are the foremost dressmakers on the moon. Their creations are simply out of this moon — which makes them a little hard to get to! Our deb Ann Peters leads the social moon — a party every night and two on Sunday. Jean Cantwell is a member of the moon band and she’s still tooting that trumpet. And by bat- ting her beautiful big blue eyes around, Pat Sullivan has become the leading Gigi Lopes model. Oh — and success in other ways came to the class of 50 too! Jim Salthouse and Ken Sanders have each been married four times and are preparing for their fifth. Papa Anthony Souza has had ten additions to the family, but they say he ' s just as proud of each new one as he was of his first little girl. Connie: Did you know that Richie Tobey got a job as an auctioneer because he talked so fast he just couldn’t stop! Now he’s selling space- ships. And Althea Tavares is running around in a Chevie’’ spaceship while Bob Lopes delivers moonograms in his same old Ford. Oh, yes, — Eddie Arruda still rides his motor- cycle and Agnes DePonte rides along in the side car. Louise: Phyllis Peters has taken up juggling — ( Continued on Page 53 ) Fifty-two THE LAWRENCIAN— 1950 Class Jridtor Ann Thobae and Pat Sullivan Commentator-. Good afternoon, ladies and gen- tlemen. This is your good, good friend bring- ing you The Memory Hour.” I have with me here in the studio a very good friend of yours and mine who will help us all remem- ber the days when Lawrence High School was crawling with some sort of rare animal. The date? 1947-1950, of course. Guest-. Hello, friends. This is your very, very good friend. Will you ever forget the play the class of ’50 put on when they were fresh- men? Fun in a Country Store,” wasn’t it? I remember Connie Craig, who later proved herself quite a lover, handled the romance in this one, too. It was sort of a musical thing and one of the lovers’ numbers was . . . Oh, what was it? (Connie and Richie dressed like they were in the play walk across the stage singing Met a Gal in Calico.”) Commentator. Yes that was a wonderful pro- duction! Ted Blomberg was so good as the German storekeeper, Shultz. And those crazy Hootenshot sisters — Ann, Ginger, and Nat- alie just couldn’t stop dancing. (Ted, in apron, etc. and Natalie do cartwheels across the stage.) Guest ' . That was the important event of the year. It netted the $250 the class walked into high school with. The kids had become money mad that early. Commentator : But as sophomores they became interested in food, originating the now fam- ous Sophomore Bean Supper. (Chorus of boys march out on stage dressed as beans and sing: That’s all for now, friends, So goodbye to you. We hope you liked our little Sophomore Bean Review. They do a kick step like the Rockettes. ) Guest. We sure had a busy time of it that year with initiation and all, but the biggest thrill of all was the laurels the football team brought to Lawrence High. We were Class D Champions! ( Barry, Roy, and Johnny walk across the stage in football uniforms saying, Class D Champs and we did it with- out Moose!”) Commentator-. Ah, yes, a memorable year, too. The junior year lagged a bit with the only outstanding event the Spaghetti Supper. (Chorus of boys come back dressed as meat- balls with spaghetti hair singing and dancing as before: That’s all for now, friends, So goodbye to you. We hope you liked our little Italian Spaghetti Review.) Guest-. And then the epitome had been reached. The class of 1950 were seniors! (Romeo conducts a class meeting; Loren and Donnie Wood light a firecracker under a wastebasket; boys in football uniforms run across stage. Commentator-. I understand as seniors they did a lot of throwing. First they threw soph- omore initiation, then a football rally, and a Christmas formal, and a few Christmas cards and occasionally Roddy Berg out of the Main Room window. (Two boys carry Roddy across the stage and a loud noise is heard backstage to sound like Roddy crashing to the ground.) Guest ' . With all those schemes excluding Rod- dy, of course, the class added considerably to the treasury, and at one time had as much as $1042.67!! but, realizing You Can’t Take It With You” they spent it. Commentator-. Ah, that class play. Just oozing with character parts. (Charlie in toga and Ginger in shabby gown come on stage and go through Connie and Bruce’s love scene burlesquing considerably.) Guest ' . Then Big, Brave Brawny Mr. Marshall weathered the storm and chaperoned 28 raring-to-go seniors to the Empire and capitol cities. What a trip! ( 28 rather bewildered seniors carrying luggage walk across stage gazing at tall buildings while record, ' New York, New York — It’s a Wonderful Town” is playing.) Commentator-. Here, it seemed, was one excit- ing and dazzling package of fun and festiv- ity. (Part of group pass by singing, There’s a Tavern in the Town.”) But it didn’t take them long to agree with the cliche It’s a wonderful place to visit, but I’d sure hate to live here.” Guest ' . And then they left for the most beau- tiful city in the world, Washington, D. C. And, oh, how they walked! Up and down 60,000,000 stairs and all over a thousand LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Fifty-three buildings and monuments. The saddest mis- take of all was walking down Washington Monument — some 600 feet tall! (During conversation three of the tourists bathe tired and sore feet in buckets of steaming water. Harry” shakes hands.) Commentator ' . The Washington trip served as a medium for getting acquainted with other seniors besides the usual cliques they’d hung around with. The group soon discovered that Lemoyne, Richie and Fred Gaskill had bottomless stomachs; that Ann had a strange way of getting acquainted with all the male guides, taxi drivers, elevator boys, and wait- ers; that Claire was scared to death of bugs, mice, and peculiar animals. (Claire runs across stage screaming while being chased by Danny with a huge bug on the end of a stick. ) Guest ' . After tours and miles of bus rides they arrived back in New York and that night everyone painted the town red! (A few senior travelers with paint pails and brushes paint the scenery of buildings etc. bright red.) And so the Washington trip was over and thoughts turned to graduation and the much-worked for diploma. On to graduation. (Long hand holding diploma and senior girl and boy chasing after it, never quite getting their hands on it.) Commentator-. And so we come to the end of our memory hour for today. But hasn ' t it been fun? (Seven boys with white beards and canes come out and do same kick step as before and sing: That’s all for now, friends, So goodbye to you. We hope you liked our little Class of ’50 Review.) CU Pro,,!, rojinecij (Lontmuea si uni ea e 1 ) she got tired of twirling — and Helen Gardner is still knitting. Last I heard, Audrey Mixson and Natalie MacDougall has become Mission- aries to Saturn. Oh, yes, and Florence Beve- lander — she’s just doing what comes natural- ly! Connie: I hear that Ann Thobae, Charlie Sam- ple, Ginger Merrill, Rita Belanger, Bruce Nash, Roddy Berg, and Freddie Gaskell had such a good time dancing the Charleston after play rehearsals that they’ve gone into it in a professional way — with Christine Avi- nint as the teacher. (Eight come on stage and go through Charleston routine.) Louise-. That strong friendship of John Papp and Randolph Rapoza has lasted all these years! They certainly have been buddies to the end. ( John chases Randolph across stage with a weapon) I guess this is the end. BOYS ' CHEF CLASS t lews from rlantucKet THE ISLANDER Nantucket High School Nantucket, Mass.

LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL Fifty-five Fifty-six THE LA WRENCIAN— 1950 omore 7 U Kay Francis , ' 52 T HE second half of the school year was just as busy as the first for us young soph- omores.” The first bit of new business was to elect Bruce Illgen to take the place of Bob Pratt as co-social chairman. (Bob moved to Quincy). Albert Tavares has taken Bob ' s place on the Student Council. We were happy to welcome Bob Bennoit. Jim Nickerson and Phil McNiff into our class. Bob comes from Brockton, Jim from Maine, and Phil from Connecticut. Selling Lawrence High book covers has added to our growing treasury, but our biggest pro- ject was selling table top ads. We sold ads to store keepers and friends in all parts of Fal- mouth to fill up the top of a card table. With this money we bought eighteen card tables with that same top which we will give to the school, and had a sizeable amount of dollars and cents to add to our treasury. On the boys ' basketball team last winter were Red Ransom, Spider Souza, Bruce Illgen, Russ Robbins, Paul Dougherty, and Dick Geggatt from our class. If you’ve seen the boys out on the baseball diamond throwing the ball around, you’ve also seen Russie Robbins.

By far the outstanding event of the affair was — you guessed it — the food! Mrs. Barry’s know-how and endurance made possible the turning out of this super- supper.” The mouth-watering menu offered hot-gravied chicken, fluffy mashed potato, green peas and cranberry sauce. Guests chose milk or coffee for the beverage and selected their favor- ite pie when dessert time rolled around. With their hunger pangs abated patrons were ready to enjoy the entertainment which turned up in the form of a spirited basketball game between the Junior boys and the Hyannis DeMolay team. The final score showed L.H.S.’s Juniors on top by a fine margin. Three happy Juniors have been eagerly awaiting the month of June and within a week they will be off for Girls’ and Boys’ State. Brenda Bowman and Phyllis Sullivan are going to Girls’ State at the State Teachers’ College in Bridgewater. Brenda and Phyllis are being sponsored by the Outlook Club and the Fal- mouth Legion Auxiliary respectively. Philip White is being sent by the Falmouth American Leeion Post to Boys’ State to be held at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. Brenda. Phyllis, and Phil are being treated to a lot of fun and a grand education in the work- ings of state government and are very grate- ful to their sponsoring organizations for the opportunity. This has been a most successful vear for the Junior Class. With the Constance Fund Dance, cake sale, and the Chicken Pie Supper behind it, the class can well afford to rest on its laurels.
