AWARDS Several students have brought honor to Lawrence High School during the past year. Mauralee Williams was chosen Miss Junior Miss by the Senior Class and entered the pageant in Hyannis as our repre- sentative. She received awards for her personality and talent. Another “royalty” was Carolyn Fer- reira, Queen of Turkey Day. She reigned at the Barn- stable football game with her court of Mary Lou Aldrich, Christine Bogdon, Beverly Luckraft, and Mauralee Williams. Academic representation was seen in Todd Merrill who attended the National Science Fair in Chicago. He was selected from boys all over the country who showed an interest in science and mathematics. We are all very proud of these students for their contributions to Lawrence High School.

We Were Freshmen Standing out clearly in the minds of all of us is the day we entered Lawrence as “green” Freshmen, and led by Mike Finnell, began our high school careers. Todd Merrill was Vice President that year, while Joan Nutt and Diane Smith acted as Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. Derna Grenga and Joe In- gram, as Social Chairmen, planned our varied activi- ties. At the same time, Lee Burwell and Brad Moses were representing us on the Student Council, while Ed Mello carried out his duties as Senator. Our first money-making project was the “Turkey Trot” which played against a harvest scene on Novem- ber 20, 1959. April was chosen for the traditional Min- strel Show which, judging from the proceeds, proved to be quite successful. The show revolved around a small community on the “other side of the hollow,” which enabled us to name the program “Hootin’ Hol- ler.” The leading characters, selected by our class ad- viser, Mr. Sidney Roberts, were Paul Olenick, Modera- tor, and the six endmen, Lee Burwell, Todd Merrill, Lois Smith, Nancy Swan, Ed Wells, and John Wood- cock ; this group put on an unforgettable performance. In the spring, Carolyn Ferreira and Derna Grenga were chosen regular cheerleaders, and Betsy McGilvray became an alternate. As the year came to a close, the last of the three main events took place: the memorable Freshman- Sophomore Prom. The decorations, developed from the “Stairway to the Stars” theme, included a stairway in the center of the gym with low-hanging blue and white crepe paper. Carolyn Ferreira was chosen Queen with Ingrid Frank, Judy Parker, Dale Grissom, and Judy LeBlanc as her court. Thus, our first year in high school came to a close. 1.
