T HIS year’s Travel Club memebers were most anxious to get organized so that they could begin work on various projects, the proceeds of which would help in reaching a $2,000. goal which was set by the group at the outset. But before this eager group could plunge into these projects, it was necessary to hold an election to vote for officers. The results of this election found Peter Joseph, President, John DeMello, Vice-President, Genevieve DeSouza, Treasurer, and Nancy Clark, Secretary. Under these of- ficers, the group met every Friday morning during first period in Mr. Tow’s homeroom, and here discussed and formulated plans for their activities. After the complete organization of the club, v ork began on many important activities. During the football and basketball seasons, Cokes and other refreshments were sold through the efforts of the many members who offered their assistance. With the help of the mothers of Travel Club members, we ordered and sold ribbon of various hues suitable for using on Christmas packages. On this project, our future salesmen got a workout and proved themselves worthy, as the treasury ' realized an increase in funds. Our main money-making project proved to be an auction which was held in the month of December, and featured Mr. Richard Bourne as auctioneer. For this project, loyal Travel Clubbers got access to trucks, and in their re- spective teams, canvassed the Falmouth area, in an effort to collect items to be auctioned. These articles were then brought to the Recrea- tion Building where this interesting and profit- able event took place. The Recreation Building was the site of another successful social event, namely, the Card Party which was held in March. Winners re- ceived lovely potted plants, and several articles were sold in a Chinese Auction. Once again the mothers of the members proved indispen- sible in the success of this function. The mothers were to come to our aid once more by working with us in selling refreshments to Town Meeting members, a practice which was quite profitable. 39 MVS Friday, April 13 O UR day of departure dawned clear and sunny, much to the delight of our parents and friends who came to the school to bid us adieu. At 7:15, after our suitcases were loaded on the buses, pictures taken, and goodbyes spoken, 59 of us with Mr. and Mrs. Clark and Mr. and Mrs. Wasseth, boarded the two buses which took us to Providence where we boarded the train for New York. What a scramble when we finally arrived at Grand Central! After we had checked in at the Shelton Hotel, we went on to Radio City, where from our orchestra seats, we saw the Easter show and the first showing of Serenade with Mario Lanza. Then after a dip in the hotel pool we con- tinued our adventures in the big city by taking advantage of a free night to visit restaurants, and other night spots of interest. Saturday, April 14 We got up bright and early in order to begin a tour of Rockefeller Plaza, the RCA building, and the Empire State building, all of which we found most impressive. Since we were unable to get tickets for the Perry Como show, we had another free night; and since we were begin- ning to know our way around, we embarked on our own private tour. After an evening of fun-making, many of us went to midnight serv- ices in preference to getting up early Sunday morning, which somehow didn’t seem to appeal to us. Sunday, April 15 At 8 a.m. we piled on the bus bound for Washington via Baltimore and Annapolis. We stopped in Philadelphia at Independence Hall, and observed the Liberty Bell. At 6 p.m. that night, we could be found getting settled in our new accommodations at the Raleigh Hotel. Tonight our curfew was set for 10 p.m. in order that we might be sufficiently rested to benefit from our coming tour of Washington. Monday, April 16 This very busy day included visits to the Jefferson Memorial, Washington Memorial. Mount Vernon, the George Washington Ma- sonic Memorial, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Smithsonian Institute, and the statue of the Marines raising the Flag at Iwo Jima. In the evening, which was devoted to a night tour, we visited the Washington Monu- ment, Ford Theater, the Lincoln Memorial and the Library of Congress. After this very in- spiring tour we called it a day and returned to our hotel to join the various gab fests and general festivities. Tuesday, April 17 Our first stop this morning was the Bureat. of Printing and Engraving. The sight of all the money being printed woke us up out of a slight fog, only to start us day dreaming about what we could do with those nice crisp bills. We next toured the Capitol, and the beautiful White House. After lunch at a previously visited cafeteria, we went through the Fran- ciscan Monastery and the catacombs therein. Everyone was inspired by the beauty of the Washington Cathedral which was our last stop. To top off a grand tour of Washington, we went on a moonlight cruise up the Potomac River on the banks of which we stopped at the Marshall Field Amusement Park. Here Mrs. Clark, the Wasseths and other brave members of our group rode on the roller coaster. Wednesday, April 18 After touring the FBI building in the early morning, we left Washington for New Market, Virginia, where we visited the famous Endless Caverns that evening. We all helped Mrs. Clark celebrate her birthday that evening, and we were indebted to the motel owner who made a delicious cake. Thursday, April 19 We again arose early and this time were saying goodbye to the Shenandoah Valley and Blue Ridge Mountains, and looking forward to our stay in Pennsylvania. Once in the state, we had the opportunity of visiting the Gettys- burg National Military Park and Cemetery. The Yorktowne Hotel really appealed to us and although we were really dragging at this point, it was our last night, so we decided not to let it pass by too quietly. Friday, April 20 We were aroused at an early hour for break- fast, after which we left York, Pennsylvania, at 8 a.m. At Grand Central station we said so long to Frank, our wonderfully humorous bus driver, who through his wfitty remarks, added so much to our long bus trips. However, upon arrival at the station, we found that we had missed the train to Providence by about five minutes, so consequently we had time for an- other lunch in New York. Finally on our way again, we w ' ere met at the Providence station by two of the Palmer buses who brought us safely to the high school where we were met by our wonderful parents who had seen us off at the outset, and who did so much to make the trip the wonderful success that it was. 41 First row l. to r.

Performances took place on April 6 and 7 and were well received by the respective audiences. Mr. William J. Fraher gave up much of his valuable time as a teacher to be present at all of these rehearsals as director of the play; and of course, time was spent on various other prep- arations. For a job admirably done, and his indispensible assistance and encouragement, the whole class as well as those taking part in the actual production are certainly indebted to Mr. Fraher. Suzanne Asselin also did a fine job as assistant director. A delightful comedy with a human touch, Best Foot Forward” offered members of the cast an excellent opportunity to show their talent and at the same time have an enjoyable time. The action takes place at Winsocki Prep where a big dance is to take place that evening. The cast consisted of Sylvia Lawrence as Miss Gale Joy, a glamorous movie star who is held in high esteem by the boys at Winsocki. George Way as Bud Hooper, a student who invites Miss Joy to attend the big dance with him, and is stunned by her letter of acceptance which an- nounces that she will be happy to be his Senior Prom Girl”; Marylen Tyler as Helen Schles- singer, the young lady who arrives at Winsocki Prep, only to find that her boy friend Bud, has stood her up for a movie star; Bill Dougherty as Dutch Miller, roommate to Bud and very anxious to meet Miss Joy, the wham” girl who wears sweaters in most of her movies; Lee Bourgoin as Hunk Hoyt, another helpful room- mate who shows his loyalty to Bud by volun- teering to dance all the straight dances with Miss Joy; Lewis Augusto as Jack Haggerty, Miss Joy’s publicity agent; Jerry Paine as Dr. Reeber who tries in vain to keep order among the students; Howard Pease as the disturbed Prof. Lloyd; Stanley Boretos as Chester Billings, town newspaper reporter covering the arrival of Miss Joy. Martha Finnell as the blind date who is just a good kid, there for a good time and looking for Chuck Green, played by John DeMello who is her unattentive date; Marietta Medeiros as Minerva, a fun-loving girl, away from home to attend the dance with Hunk; Sandra LaFreniere as Ethel, also enjoying the festivities with Dutch; Jeanne Irving as Miss Delaware Water Gap who is escorted to the dance by Satchel Moyer, another Winsocki boy played by Peter Joseph; James Wright as the old grad who finds Winsocki boys getting smaller every year; Barbara Leach as Miss Smith, chaperone to the visiting girls. The various committees necessary for a pro ject of this kind, also encounter a great deal of work and prove to be a most important part in making the production successful. These rcmmittee members deserve a word of praise and recognition for a job well done. For a function to succeed, publicity plays an im- portant role, and Cathenne Simons, Gloria Simons, Suzanne Asselin, and Stanley Boretos worked in this field. A poster contest was in- troduced to LHS students, and from this came some really colorful posters as well as contest winners who received two free tickets to the play. On the committee for the designing, pro- duction and distribution of tickets were: Suz- anne Asselin, Janet Costa, Lucille DeSouza, Peggy Duane, Marguerite Eldredge, Jean Grin- nell, and Catherine and Gloria Simons. On the piogram committee of which Harriet Silva was chairman, were: Suzanne Asselin, Walter Faria, John Farren, Lawrence Hollings, Barbara Lewis, Loretta Petralia, Catherine and Gloria Simons, and Edna Studley. Special thanks goes to Mr. Sherman w ' ho helped to get these pro- grams made. The set was constructed by Francis Rhodes, Edward DeMello, Kenneth Rebello, Stanley Sylvia and Roland Simmonds, who proved handy with a hammer and nails as well as a paint brush. Judy Cummings was chairman of props and working with her were Martha Beck, Edward DeMello, John DeMello, Carol Frank, Eleanor Frank, Carleen Grant, Pat Jacome, Cynthia Kelly, Barbara Lewis, Edward DeMello, Ken- neth Rebello, and Gertrude Sullivan. These students had to obtain such things as beds, bureaus, desks and chairs. Working hand in hand wfith this committee w ' as the hand props commttee consisting of Judy Rapp, Judy Mill- er, and Pat Quinn. Their job consisted of secur- ing such things as a trench coat with Hold That Line on the back, as well as pin-ups, ban- ners, signs, and items which usually find their place on dormitory walls. Clifford O’Connell, George Texeira an d Robert Spiro worked on light set and sound effects with the help of the wonderful custodians.

Remember our first week in the new school as sophomores? What a time we had getting situated; it took us a few days to become fam- iliar with our various classrooms and we were overwhelmed at the facilities offered us. As the first sophomore class in the new school, we had the privilege of using the facil- ities of the new cafeteria in putting on the an- nual Bean Supper. We lived up to a tradition by surpassing the profits made by any previous class. The success of this project was obviously due to the delicious menu which consisted of: beans, hotdogs, potato salad, cole slaw, rolls, homemade pies, and coffee, and due to the en- tertainment presented by the more talented members of the class. Although everyone worked diligently on this project, ambitous students still found time and energy to engage in other activities and we were very proud to have such good representation in both sports and student functions. Five classmates who played basketball for the varsity team were: Pop DeMello, Bill Dough- erty, Franklin Jonas, George Medeiros, and C.iesar Pena. The lettermen in our class were Lee Bourgoin, Ross Jenkins, and Caesar Pena. To cheer these boys on to victory were our fine cheerleaders: Jeanne Irving, Sylvia Law- rence, and Martha Finnell as alternate. John DeMello, Jeanne Irving and Syl Law- rence represented us in the Student Council. Members of the Key Club were: Lee Bourgoin, John DeMello, Bill Dougherty and Ray Rioux. Twelve of our Sophomores were members of the Student Intelligencer and in January, Marty Finnell took over the paper as Editor-in-Chief, and Nancy Clark and Marylen Tyler attained positions as Associate Editors, with Mary Jane Emerald as Feature Editor and Bill Dougherty covering sports. We were also very proud to h; ve so m any of our class join the musical groups of the school, such as A Cappella choir, Glee Club, band, and orchestra. Nancy Clark took part in graduation exercises as Diploma Girl for the Class of ’54. Our class officers deserve much praise for a job well done. They were: John DeMello, President; Caesar Pena, Vice President; Beverly Araujo, Secretary; Genevieve DeSouza, Treasu- rer; and Judy Cummings, Social Chairman. We thought that the Sophomore year went rather quickly, but it could not compare with the rapid passing of a most eventful Junior year. Our election of officers was held early in the year, and the successful candidates were: Bill L ' ougherty, President; Clifford O ' Connell, Vice President; Ross Jenkins, Secretary, Gary Grew, Treasurer, and Social Chairmen, Judy Cummings and Arthur Ingram. The big social event of the year was the annual Snowball which was no ordinary formal dance; the gym was decorated more elaborately than ever before, and a $30. profit was realized. To top off a successful function, Nancy Clark vas elected Queen, and her escort Bill Dough- erty was King. $50. was added to our treasury as a result of the selling of sweat-shirts bearing the seal of Lawrence high school, a nice ad- dition to the wardrobe of any student. Marty Finnell with Pat Morse as alternate was chosen by the Legion Auxiliary to attend Girls State which was held in June. Chosen by the Falmouth Outlook Club to attend the same function was Judy Miller with Syl Law- rence at alternate. A delegation of boys were sent to Boys State at the University of Massa- chusetts. The boys and the organizations spon- soring them were: Ross Jenkins, Rotary Club; Lee Bourgoin, Kiwanis Club; John DeMello, St. Anthony Club; Gary Grew, American Legion; Francis Rhodes, Progressive Club; and Cliff O ' Connell, Falmouth Grange 399- This was certainly a wonderful experience for these students and we were proud of our fortunate classmates. In April, Bill Dougherty, Martha Finnell, Sandra LaFreniere, Judy Miller, Pat Morse, Clifford O’Connell, Marylen Tyler, Andy Van Dam, and Jean Verissimo represented our class and L.H.S. at the annual Model Congress at the American International College in Spring- field. Under the supervision of Col. Tow, they prepared their speeches and did an excellent job in sponsoring their bills. The trip lasted three days and we were very proud that these students did such a fine job. 46 The Class of ’55 decided to make a custom of a junior daisy chain for graduation and through the office, the twelve highest ranking girls of our class were chosen to represent us. These girls who dressed fully in white and carried daisy chains in the graduation march at Class Day, were: Judy Cummings, Marguerite El- dredge, Lorna Erskine, Martha Finnell, Jeanne Irving, Barbara Leach, Eleanor Marshall, Judy Miller, Pat Morse, Gladys Perry, Marylen Tyler, and Jean Verissimo. In the junior year, 5% of our class who attained the highest mark for the respective four marking periods were inducted into the National Honor Society. They were: Judy Cummings, Martha Finnell, Clifford O’Connell, Andy Van Dam, and Jean Verissimo. Boys from the junior class elected as officers of the Key Club who would take over in the senior year were: Bill Dougherty, President; Ronnie Andrews, Secretary; and Clifford O ' Con- nell, Treasurer. Jeanne Irving was chosen Key Club Sweetheart. The Student Council also elected its officers for the ensuing year from our class. Bill Dougherty was elected President, with Syl Lawrence, Vice President, Jeanne I r ving, Secretary, and Judy Miller, Treasurer. Nancy Clark and Gerald Paine, Class Marshals for graduating class of ’55. Under the leadership of Ross Jenkins, Class President, Ray Rioux, Vice-President, Pat Morse, Treasurer, Judy Miller, Secretary, and Judy Cummings and John DeMello, Social Chairmen. The class sold tiles which pictured, depending on choice, the old or new Lawrence high school. These appealed to both students and alumni and we were able to make a size- able profit. In February our class sponsored a fine record hop at which Norm Tulin, a well known Boston disc jockey, provided the music for dancing. Two young men whom he brought, provided the entertainment, and Mr. Tulin gave away loads of records to winners of various dancing games. A very worthwhile affair, everyone had fun and the treasury of the senior class felt a considerable increase. Out of our treasury our class gave $200. to the Key Club Organ Fund. Another event of utmost importance was our class play for which tryouts were held and in which the successful students appeared in the final production on April 6 and 7. The play, Best Foot Forward’’ by John Cecil Holm in- volved a lot of behind the scenes’’ work but that can be fun; take it from those who know! The cast did a fine job which was even more commendable because of the fact that they had only about a month of rehearsing. One of the first groups organized within our class was the Travel Club who elected Peter Joseph, President, John DeMello, Vice Presi- dent, Genevieve DeSouza, Treasurer, and Nancy Clark, Secretary. After a year of hard work, the club found that with the aid of the mothers, they had made over $2,000. to be divided among it; 59 members. Excitement mounted as the weeks passed by, and the week before April 13, this excitement was at its peak. But finally, after much anticipation, the departure day ar- rived, and with our chaperones, Mr. Mrs. Clark, and Mr. Mrs. Wasseth, we set out on a trip that was to take us to our nation ' s capital, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Throughout this busy year, many of our students engaged in sports and activities pro- vided by the school. Jeanne Irving and Syl Lawrence w ' ere named co-head cheerleaders. Also on the squad would be Marty Finnell and Nancy Clark as regulars, with Eleanor Frank as alternate. Nine seniors on the football team were: Rawson Jenkins, Bill Dougherty, Francis Rhodes, Lee Bourgoin, Stan Sylvia, Bill Pires, George Medeiros and Roland Simmonds. Playing basketball were: Stan Sylvia, Francis Rhodes, Curtis Hendricks, Leo Connors and Kenny Rebello. We also had representatives on the baseball, golf, and track teams, A Cap- pella Choir, Glee Club, Intelligencer staff and Key Club. Although our senior year was so chock full of activities we still gave full consideration to the future, and tried to keep our scholastic records high. Several students made the Honor Roll, and three were officers in the Honor Society; Judy Cummings was President and Jean Verissimo, Sec. -Treasurer. Other students in the Honor Society were Jeanne Irving, Cliff O’Connell, Martha Finnell, Marylen Tyler and Gladys Perry. Judy Cummings was chosen as the D.A.R. Representative; Judy Miller won the Betty Crocker Home Maker Contest and Martha Finnell and Jean Verissimo wrote prize- winning essays on Why I am Glad to be an American. Ross Jenkins, class president also wrote a prize winning essay on Why a Trip to Trinidad Would Foster International Good- will, which entitled him to a wonderful trip to Trinidad in the West Indies. 47 T HE date is June 5, 1976, the place is the Sugar Plum, and the members of the class of 1956 are coming for their Twentieth Annual Class Reunion.

After due deliberation, (but not much, as there was only one candidate for four of the offices) the following were selected: President Linda Collins Vice President Carole Cummings Secretary Judy Sheehan Treasurer Susan Hunziker Girls Social Chairman Mary Lee Craig Boys Social Chairman Chris Bullock Under the leadership of this practically all- feminine group, with Mr. Bullock as a steady- ing influence on the flighty females, the Juniors had a very successful and profitable year. One of their biggest successes was the annual Snow- ball, which was held on December 2. The theme for the dance was Winter Wonderland , and festive decorations, erected by a few cour- ageous individuals at the peril of life and limb, carried out the theme. Music, both of the hot and cool variety, was furnished by the Tempo- Teers. Despite the boys’ determination to turn the whole affair into a mass hen party, they finally regained their sense of chivalry, and everyone had a wonderful time. In February, the Juniors sponsored a very successful spaghetti supper and fair. The pur- pose of this affair was to raise money for a really spectacular Junior-Senior Prom. The menu consisted of spaghetti and meatballs, salad, French bread, coffee or milk, and ice cream, all created through the culinary efforts of count- less Juniors, under the supervision of Mrs. Barry. The fair featured games of skill, a rum- mage table, a food table, a fortune teller, a handwriting analyst, and various other enticing little traps, all calculated to give everyone bar- rels of fun. It is hoped that this affair will become a tradition at Lawrence High, and will be sponsored annually by each Junior class. With the profits from this event, the Juniors put on one of the most popular social affairs of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom. The class really went all out for this one, but the result was worth every bit of the effort. The decor- ations were attractive, the music was great, and everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. Besides sponsoring these affairs, the Juniors also sold Lawrence High bracelets and stuffed animals, both of which were very popular. The class of 1957 has really been right in the groove this year. In fact, when you come right down to it, it was a pretty good class! 56 Seated l. to r. : Ellen Armstrong, Paul Morris, Susan Braden. Standing-. John Souza, Eugene Andrews, absent Jack Dougherty. Soph ' to move cu n eiud A FTER the summer vacation, the Sopho- mores were eager to return to school to settle down to another year of classes, home- work and headaches. Under a new plan of electing class officers introduced by the Student Council, the class carried out the election. Accompanying the election were the traditional campaigns which were waged by the individual candidates. The campaigns proved to be both animated and educational. The results of the election were as follows: President, Jack Dougherty; Vice- President, Eugene Andrews; Secretary, Susan Braden; Treasurer, John Souza and Social Chairmen, Ellen Armstrong and Paul Morris. The first activity of the year sponsored by the class was a football rally held on Friday, November 18, 1955, first period in the Gym- nasium. In early October, plans were launched for the Ninth Annual Bean Supper. The date was set for Saturday, December 10, 1955. It was voted by the class to have entertainment after the supper. After the supper, entertainment was put on by members of the class. A classroom skit, a hula dance and a dance routine were the high- lights of the entertainment. After all bills were paid, the total profit was $400. As a result of the hard work put into the supper and enter- tainment, we were happily rewarded by a tre- mendous success. Those boys representing the class on the foot- ball team this year were Curtis Hill, Jack Peter- son and Joseph Cardeira. Jack Peterson, Joel Peterson, Tom Souza and Bob Ozment were on the basketball team, all of whom did a ter- rific job. Susan Miller and Jean Parent were the regu- lars on the Cheerleading Squad this year with Bonnie Grew acting as alternate. They are to be congratulated for the fine job they did as representatives of the class. The class planned a Sadie Hawkins Dance which was held on May 18, 1956. During the week preceding the dance, Twirp Week was sponsored by the class. These two last activities were two of the most successful events of the year. At the culmination of the school year, we had the privilege of looking back on a very successful year. 57 pfc Seated l. to r.: Regina Pacheco, Jean McGilvray, Patricia Medeiros. Standing-.

For the election, two parties were formed, the Fifty-Niners and the Practical Party . The election was carried out much the same as our own town elections. The victors of the election, all members of the Practical Party”, were as follows: Jean McGilvray, Presi- dent; Bonnie Williams, Vice-President; John Rose, Secretary; Patricia Medeiros, Treasurer; and Social Chairmen, Regina Pacheco and James Nidositko. The next freshman activity was the annual Freshman Minstrel Show, which was held on April 27. The name given to the show was Showboat Minstrels . Farry MacDonald did a fine job as interlocuter, and Regina Pacheco, Dorothy Cotton, Barry Pease, James Pine, John Rose and James Nidositko made wonderful endmen. Between the Minstrel Show and our long awaited Prom which was held on June 1, our class sold pencils and erasers in an effort to augment our treasury. Members of our class on the Student Council were Beverly Ball, Senator, and Bonnie Williams and William Henry, Representatives. These students had the pleasure of attending the spring and fall conventions with the rest of the council, and all in all did an excellent job of representing our class this year. Pat Rose, Geraldine Sylvester, Loretta Bour- goin, Linda Welch and Regina Pacheco also made a fine showing for the Freshman class as majorettes. Under the leadership of our officers and through the efforts of all our hard-working class members we had a successful year, and are now eagerly awaiting our Sophomore year. 58 : .v ' V ' fl 0 y S Cre «te ( , ! • ■ ?

S. 3ootLl( E NTERING the season with unforgettable memories of last year’s winless record, thirty loyal LHS gridsters under the leadership of coaches Myron Gaddis, G. Campbell Law- rence, and Earl Mills, had visions of a much better season, even though regular quarterback, Stan Sylvia, would be unable to play for the first half of the season. When the season came to a close on Thanksgiving Day, the Maroon had to settle with a record of four victories and four defeats. The four losses sustained however, were no disgrace because two were near-winners of the Class D Championship and the other two were out of their class and highly favored. There were seven varsity lettermen returning from last year’s squad and about another seven excellent prospects. The returning lettermen were Lee Bourgoin, Bill Dougherty, Phil Geg- gatt, Dick Howard, Pete Joseph, George Me- deiros, and Stan Sylvia. Other prospects later proving valuable to the squad were Ross Jenkins, Ken Rebello, Francis Rhodes, Am os Andrade, Alan Barstow, Larry Knapp, and Jack Peterson. Brief summary of each game: On Oct. 8, the maroon downed a favored Bourne team 13-7. Phil Geggatt plunged for one touchdown and also the point after. Quar- terback Bill Dougherty, scored the other 6 points on a naked reverse from the 10 yard line. Somerset downed the LHS team on Oct. 1 7, on their home gridiron 14-0. The maroon threatened twice, but just couldn’t score against the Blue ' s rough defense. A swift-moving Case High backfield com- pletely stunned the Falmouth boys by scoring 32 points to their 13. Alan Barstow scored on a 36 yard jaunt and also caught a pass for the extra point. Geggatt raced 45 yards for another score. A powerful Wareham team ran right over a still-bewildered LHS squad having not fully recovered from the spanking received the week before. The final score was an embarrassing 30-13. Breaking a three game losing streak, the marauders downed Middleboro 26-14. Sylvia, Barstow, Jenkins, and Dougherty, all tallied a six-pointer for the victors. Stan Sylvia was playing for the first time since his operation. On the following Saturday, Falmouth easily smothered Yarmouth 25-0. Rhodes, Sylvia, Geggatt, and Barstow, all scored in this game. On Nov. 19, the squad met a surprisingly tough P’town team at Falmouth in a slight snow storm. Bob Couto made the touchdown. A safety was also scored giving the hometeamers an 8-0 win. Losing the Turkey Day tilt, 20-0 to a favored Barnstable team climaxed the 55 football season for our team.

T HIS year the cheerleaders have shown a great improvement over the previous years. They really got behind their team and showed good sportsmanship and great enthusiasm. Under the supervision of Mrs. Gifford the cheerleaders organized a pep squad and over one hundred students participated. All mem- bers were issued a white slogan ribbon on which was painted L.H.S. pep squad. The cheerleaders sold programs at all the football games and solicited advertisements for programs. The following senior cheerleaders received white blazer jackets: Eleanor Frank, Nancy Clark, Martha Finell, and co-captains Jeanne Irving and Sylvia Lawrence.

Vet- erans who returned from last year’s squad were Phil Geggatt, Jack Peterson, Stan Sylvia, and Brenton White. Plagued by the loss of all but one starter from the 1955 team, lack of height, and general exigency of school spirit, the maroon just couldn’t seem to come through. As a member of the Large School League, the LHS boys had a final league record of one victory and seven defeats. They overcame Yar- mouth for the lone triumph. Other high schools in this league are Bourne, Barnstable, Province- town, and Yarmouth. A starting five for most of the games con- sisted of Phil Geggatt, Jack Peterson, Barry Dufur, Amos Andrade, and Stan Sylvia. Jack Peterson, the star sophomore guard, was high scorer for the season with a total of 184 points. Jack was continually a threat to the opposition with his deadly set shots and overall fine play- manship. Phil Geggatt was second in the scor- ing column with 170 points. Stan Sylvia was the only graduating senior on the squad, so chances for a better season next year are much better. Because of the poor final record of the team, they did not qualify to play in the Cape Cod Principal’s Tournament, but Coach Douthart entered his boys in the Bay State Tourney under Class B. The marauders lost to Fairhavcn in the first game by a score of 78-39.

The team got off to a slow start by losing the first two games but came back to win four for the season. Although the team did not come very close in getting an oppor- tunity in playing in the Championships, they have shown a great deal of improvement over last years. With the co-operation of all the players on the squad, they are looking forward to having a greater club in 1957.

At Class Day exercises, June 5, 1955, the following Juniors were inducted into the Honor Society on the above merits: Judith Cummings, Martha Finnell, Clifford O ' Connell, Andreis Van Dam, and Jean Verissimo. At a special meeting Judith Cummings was elected Presi- dent and Jean Verissimo Secretary-Treasurer. The following new members were inducted, Dec. 19, 1955, receiving membership cards and certificates: of the class of 1956, Jeanne Irving, Gladys Perry, and Marylen Tyler; of the class of 1957, Carol Cummings, Sally Day, Margaret DeSouza, Susan Hunziker, Anne Langenheim, Karen Legg, Judith Sheehan, and Barbara Van Ham. Assisting at the ceremony was Mr. Stevens who accompanied Ronald DeMello’s vocal solo, and Albert Souza’s trumpet solo. The President presented a corsage to Miss Luthrop in appreciation for her work in waiting out the certificates. At a later date each new member was presented with a membership pin. Through the combined efforts of our spon- sor, Mr. Tow, and the officers, a delightful program of music was presented to the entire student body by the Fuglister String Quartet and Mrs. George West, Feb. 20, 1956. The Honor Society ushered at a play entitled, The Skin of Our Teeth, Feb. 27, at the Memorial Auditorium, and presented a program Feb. 28 featuring an inspiring Negro baritone. The L.H.S. National Honor Society concluded its 1955-56 year by an induction of new mem- bers and the hooding of senior Honor Society members at the Class Day exercises. Because of the wonderful and generous as- sistance offered by Mr. Tow, the National Honor Society was able to establish in Law- rence High School an active program of Loyalty, Honor, and Service during the 1956 year. 72 First row l. to r.: Rawson Jenkins, William Dougherty, Jeanne Irving, Mr. James C.

C ounci D URING the school year of 1955 and 1956, the Student Council under the guidance and direction of its President, William Dough- erty, accomplished many successful and worth- while ventures and activities. Competently supported by Sylvia Lawrence, Vice President; Jeanne Irving, Secretary; Judy Miller, Treasurer and Mr. Kinney, Advisor, the Council es- tablished a sound relationship between the teachers and the students. Members of the Council attended the Fall Convention of the Southeastern Branch of Student Councils on Nov. 14, in Cohasset. They also attended the Spring Convention held at the Silver Lake School. This year, the Council formed a Hospitality Committee. In the case of a new student, a girl or boy in which class the student was entering, helped the student become acquainted with our school. Starting next year, there will be a Lawrence High Handbook given to all new students and also to all seventh graders. This book has been drawn up and published by the Council to familiarize the students with the school, its activities, its rules and other information pertinent to the school. During basketball season, the Council held a Parents ' Night at which all the parents of the girls ' and boys’ teams plus the cheerleaders’ parents were invited. Some of the other ac- tivities which the Council carried out were as follows: playing records during lunch period before the Christmas vacation; getting buses for the football games; ushering at P.T.A. meet- ings; approving dates; holding Dress-up Day; and the awarding of pins to the officers, and to members who have served for two or more years. A seal drawn by Catherine Simons for the Lawrencian was approved by the Council and the students and will be used as the official school seal. This seal will be placed on Law- rence High School stationery and other items representing Lawrence High School. The Council wishes to give thanks to their advisor, Mr. Kinney, and their officers for the splendid job they have done this past year. They have certainly accomplished a sound rela- tionship between the teachers and the students. 73 First row l. to r.

The staff this year was composed of a bal- anced core of sophomores, juniors and seniors all of whom saw a great deal of work and enjoyment. Through close deadlines, working under pressure, conducting interviews and see- ing their work in print each week, these students obtained a little polish and a lot of pride in their paper. As a result of their in- dustriousness, a very smooth production was maintained with the Enterprise office and an ever-progressing paper was published each week. A new experiment, taking and developing our own pictures, was introduced and success- fully carried on at the outset of the year and plans for continuance next year are well under way. The editors, the majority of whom were seniors and had held positions for two years were; Editor Associate Editors Boys Sports Girls Sports Martha Finnell Nancy Clark Marylen Tyler Judy Miller Bill Dougherty Phyllis Corey Pat Quinn The seniors of the staff wish the under- classmen as much profit and enjoyment next year as they, themselves have experienced, and extend to Mr. Wasseth, their advisor, sincere thanks for his part in the success the paper achieved this year. 74 First rou l. to r.: Rawson Jenkins, William Armstrong, Vice President; Mr. John B.

Lawrence High School was honored by the fact that there w r ere two district officers in the club this year. Lee Bourgoin served as Lt. Governor of this district, and Richard Howard served as district editor. During the past year, the boys have taken on a great many projects. They started in September by planning a winter-long paper drive. They sponsored candy sales, a football rally, and in November, with the assistance of the Kiwanis club, undertook a toy drive, during which, old, battered toys were collected, re- stored and given to the needy children in town. At Christmas time, the club was very busy giving a Bingo party for the airmen at Otis Air Force Base, a party at the Barnstable County Hospital, and a Holiday dance for teen- agers. The most outstanding project for the year however, was the purchase of a thirty-two hun- dred dollar Hammond organ for the school auditorium. The boys under the leadership of Mr. John Romiza, the Kiwanis advisor; Mr. John Quick, the Faculty advisor; and Clifford O’Connell, the fund chairman; were able to raise the money in five months time. As always, the club was graced at all meet- ings, conventions, and etc. by Miss Jeanne Irving, the Key Club Sweetheart, and her com- panion, Sylvia Lawrence. The idea of having a Sweetheart was a brain storm” that the Fal- mouth club originated in New England. The officers who have been elected for next year are: William Armstrong, president; John Souza, vice president; Jack Dougherty, secre- tary; and Brenton White, treasurer. New mem- bers who will replace the seniors are: Chris Bullock, Larry Knapp, Robert Ozment, Henry DeSantis and David Simoneau. Every member of the Key Club is deeply indebted to Mr. John Romiza, the Kiwanis advisor who for the past three years has helped the club tremendously through his undying support. A vote of thanks also goes to Mr. John Buckley, who will be the Kiwanis advisor next year. The club also wishes to express its appreciation for the work done by Mr. John B Quick who served as Faculty advisor for the past year. 75 hirst row l. to r. Sandra Netto, Ginger Sullivan.

' TpHIS year at LHS saw the formation of a A club that would be for the girls of the upper-classes what the Key Club has proven to be for the boys. The Lookout Club began as an idea of Mr. Quick’s and formulated under the sponsorship of the Junior Outlook Club, who agreed to sponsor the group of enthusiastic girls. The club began its functions with a dinner and installation of officers who were as follows: President, Sandra LaFreniere; Vice-President, Susan Hunziker; Treasurer, Barbara Van Ham; Recording Secretary, Mary Scott; and Cor- responding Secretary, Kathleen Sullivan. As the school year passed, the girls acted as co-sponsors with the Key Club for a dance during Christmas vacation. Later on, continuing their practice of engaging in community service, the girls put on a very successful dance to bene- fit the March of Dimes. Aside from projects benefiting others, the club settled down to write by-laws, without which no club can function properly, and to build up a treasury, another necessity. For many weeks there was concentrated effort on the part of all connected with the club writing, rejecting, and finally accepting as governing rules the by-laws. Then along came food sales and other fund-raising projects and the year culminated with the club well on its way to becoming another respected, successful school activity. 76 Seated l. to r. : Stanley Issokson, Col. William Tow, advisor; Patricia Morse. Standing-. Raymond Rioux, Jon Doukas. O N April 6, 1956, four students of Lawrence High School accompanied by Col. William M. Tow, represented the school in the 1 6th annual Model Congress at American Inter- national College in Springfield, Massachusetts. Upon their arrival, the delegates registered and spent the evening getting acquainted with the one hundred and fifty delegates representing various other schools in New England. On the following Friday morning, all dele- gates assembled in Lee Hall to hear the State of the Union Mesage delivered by Admiral John F. Hines, President of A.I.C. Upon the completion of this address, the delegates at- tended committee sessions in separate com- mittee rooms. In committee session, the dele- gates discussed the pros and cons concerning bills up for legislation and voted as to whether or not they should be passed with or without recommendation. Falmouth sponsored three bills; Federal Aid to Medical Research and Federal Aid to High- ways were passed. Federal Reinsurance was defeated by a small margin of votes. Upon the completion of a day in committee session, the students attended a dance in the evening until 11:30 p.m. at Reed Hall. Fol- lowing the dance, they retired to their respective dorms, the girls at D.A.R. Hall and the boys at Street Hall. On Saturday morning, delegates were as- signed to one of two legislative bodies, the Senate and the House of Representatives. In each respective chamber, final legislation was enacted in regard to the proposed bills. The day’s session lasted from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. after which the students were entertained at a banquet. At the banquet in Lee Hall, students were addresed by Massachusetts House Major- ity Leader, John F. Thompson. On Sunday morning, the four delegates of L.H.S. returned to Falmouth with Col. Tow, much the richer from their experience. 77 78 jj cKa dli cur 79 Seated, l. to r. : George Pinto, Raymond Correllus, Albert Souza, Daniel Pacheco, Franklin Andrade, Andrew Barboza, William Kersey, Susan Barstow.

S. Yf]ajoretteS T HIS year the majorettes organized a major- ette club under the direction of Mr. Stevens. The officers of the club are: Ginger Sullivan, President; Pat Jacome, Vice-President; Carleen Grant, Secretary; and Elinor Weeks, Treasurer. Some of the functions and activities they have participated in are selling refreshments tc the evening classes held for the adults on Tuesday nights. Another project was a traveling food sale. With the profits received from these pro- jects, sweaters were purchased for the senior majorettes and pins were bought for the re- mainder of the club. The club has also donated ten dollars to the organ fund. In January, the Rotary Club sponsored a banquet at the Surrey Room for all the major- ettes. At this banquet, letters were received by all members of the club. On March 17, the majorettes and the L.H.S. band were invited to march at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Boston and they accepted. This year the majorettes have organized a Juniorette Corp for grades 7-9. This was done so the girls would be more experienced and have a better chance of becoming a majorette. Although this is a newly organized club it has shown great promise for becoming a better and larger organization. 81 H F L fl’ fm- i Sen for 2 ), . amaticA First row l. to r. : Judy Cummings, Carolyn Correllus, Marietta Medeiros, Beverly Oliver.
