s, e n lord MANUEL DeSOUZA Cruz,” one of the few four-year members of the L.H.S. football squad was honored this past fall by being chosen to captain the team through a fairly successful year of football. He was also chosen as the most athletic boy in the class. Whenever you saw a flash or bright beam in the halls of Lawrence High, it wasn’t an explosion. It was Manny hiding behind one of his flashy ties. Manny’s hobby is living so naturally he is happiest when with girls. (To him, that’s really living! ) Al- though the high school will be losing a good man this year, the Navy will gain one as Cruz will prob- ably join some of his classmates seeing the world in the U. S. Navy. DAVID FARREN Soft-spoken and amiable, Dave is the most Cape- Coddish member of our class. From his salty drawl alone you know that Dave is a native Cape-Codder. He, too, is a member of that exclusive shop clan which spends most of its time in the Hall School workshop. Dave is a pretty handy fellow to have around when something needs fixing. When he’s not in school, Dave says he’s happiest when working — too bad there aren’t more of us like that! His outside interests range from boats to al- most anything mechanical. Dave’s future seems to involve, and we think Dave will be a good addition for, Uncle Sam. ELEANOR FRANCES FERREIRA A short, neat girl with shining dark hair, sparkling brown eyes, and a round, smiling face — that ' s Eleanor. Her hobby is playing the piano and although she has never had a single lesson you can always depend on her to know the latest tune on the Hit Parade. Her fondness for music extends in other directions too — . She w r as a Glee Club mem- ber all through high school blending her sweet soprano with the others. She is also one of the best dancers in the class. Eleanor took the voca- tional course this year and would like to become a beautician. Fourteen

95 GEORGE FRANCIS DeMELLO George, better known as just ' Six” to his friends, is our class’s top card shark. In fact, he’s even been known to haul out his pack during a certain period and have a game or two with the boys. His favorite sport is basketball. In this his height and ability hold him in good stead. A great deal of Six’s spare time in the summer is spent at either the beach or on the baseball diamond. Like most of the graduating males, George feels Uncle Sam breathing down his neck, so he plans to give the Navy a try. Let’s hope he has smooth sailing. JAMES J. DeMELLO You don’t hear too much about Jimmy around school, but that’s because he’s the quiet type. Indus- trious and good-natured, Duck , as Jim is sometimes called, is also a competent carpenter, and many of his shop mates have been amazed by his skill with saw and hammer. Any of us who have seen his handiwork must admit that as a carpenter Jimmy is really tops. Duck” lists ice skating as his favorite sport and Uncle Sam’s navy as his probable fate. Don ' t you thank Old Man Whiskers has room for another good carpenter, Jim? Joseph Desantis Water Moccasin,” a husky, good-looking boy, is gracing our halls for the first time this year. A transfer student from Malden Catholic, Joe has quickly acquired a great number of friends with his good natured antics. Joe was a candidate for all three Lawrence High sports, football, basketball, and base- ball, and in other ways proved to be a willing class worker. Although his term with us has been a short one, Water” will retain a page in our memories. Thirteen

In fact when asked when she was happiest she replied, I think I enjoy having fun with the kids, most.” Beverly loves sports — all of them. She enjoys singing in the Glee Club with the rest of the warblers” and did her bit to add to the general din. Among the character- istics Beverly will be particularly remembered for are her black hair and neat appearance. EDNA ELAINE FURTADO Ml A spirited and ready worker is petite, dark- haired Edna. Ed”, as she is called by her many friends, took the business course in school and in carrying out her plans for the future she will utilize this training as she has decided to enter the business field. Always smiling could very well have been Edna ' s motto throughout her school career for we have never seen her in other than a pleasant mood. There were very few activity committees that did not list this graduate as a most energetic member. Driver Education and Glee Club were a few of Edna ' s other activities. This pleasant, hard-working young miss is sure to go places in the busy world of to- morrow. NATALIE MARGARET GALVAM Natalie is a pretty, smiling girl with black hair and brown eyes. Petite Nat” has wonderful fashion sense and always sported the cutest clothes to be found. Her favorite sport is basketball and she loved her gym classes.
