Carlotta Mary Hayes Letter of Commendation Orrin Todd Merrill Letter of Commendation Sandra Marie Cooke National Merit Finalist Betty Crocker Award National Merit Winners This year’s seniors excelled not only in sports but in scholarship as well. Seven members of the class received National Merit Letters of Commendation. In addition to the six pictured, Beth Fling was also awarded this honor. Beverly Burwell and Sandra Cooke attained the rank of Finalists. Although neither Lee nor Sandy received a scholarship, the honor which they and the other winners brought to Lawrence High School will long be remembered. Out of the nearly twelve thousand girls who took the test in Massachusetts, Sandra Cook placed second in the Betty Crocker Search for the Homemaker of Tomorrow. For her outstanding performance, Sandy received a five hundred dollar scholarship to Oberlin and a Betty Crocker Homemaking pin as a reminder of her laudable achievement.

.John William Knispel Anna K. Harper Award Beverly Burwell Anna K. Harper Award D.A.R. Good Citizen Brotherhood Representative National Merit Finalist Honors Presented The Anna K. Harper Award in memory of Mrs. Harper, who was Mr. Marshall’s devoted secretary for many years, was established in 1962 to succeed the Henry Smythe Award. Each year, the award is given to the Senior boy and girl who, in the opinion of the class, best exemplify the qualities of loyalty, honor, and service. The Falmouth Association of the Daughters of the American Revolution sponsor an award for the senior girl who exemplifies the fine qualities of citizenship and leadership. The recipient is chosen by the Senior Class and the faculty. The Student Council chooses a student to be the recipient of the Brotherhood Award. This prize is important because it shows that good will and friend- liness toward those of other races and creeds is culti- vated in our students. An object of pride, this award is meaningful to the remaining pupils who realize that one door to education is through a sincere un- derstanding of others. 20

SENIOR SUPERLATIVES Best Dancers Pat Handley and Brad Smith MR. AND MISS LHS Best Leaders Lee Burwell and John Knispel Best Looking Mauralee Williams and Wayne Ferreira Superlatives are not just empty awards; they reflect the opinions of the class regarding their “mostest” classmates. Lee Burwell and John Knispel have been ac- tive in all phases of high school for the past four years. The once-quiet John Martin emerged this year as a mas- ter of sarcasm and humor and was appropriately voted Wittiest, along with Dianna Cook. Dianna has long de- lighted her friends with her outgoing personality, and she was chosen Best Natured, also. Joe Ingram, noted for his laughter, shared this honor. The Most Artistic members of the class have received previous recogni- tion of their talent. Derna Grenga, who has done art work for the Falmouth Playhouse, was recently award- ed honorable mention, while Peter Jacoby won first prize, at the All Cape Cod Senior High Art Exhibition of the Cape Cod Art Association in Hyannis. Pat Hand- ley and Brad Smith have displayed enviable facility doing the latest dances and were consequently voted best in this field. Mike Generous and Wayne Ferreira have formerly received no tributes to their good looks, except for sighs from various admirers. In the fall, Carolyn Ferreira’s pulchritude was recognized when the school voted her Turkey Day Queen, while Maura- lee Williams was chosen Junior Miss, a tribute to her beauty, poise, and charm.
