JUNIOR YEAR In the Spring, cheerleaders were again chosen, and Derna Grenga and C arolyn Ferreira became co-cap- tains. Nancy Burrough was selected as a regular, while Betsy McGilvray automatically assumed that position. Sandy Morris and Judy Conley were chosen as alter- nates. The last activity which we, as Juniors, sponsored was the annual Junior-Senior Prom. Its theme was “Ver- vain,” and it was probably the most beautifully dec- orated dance ever held in Lawrence High. Fresh flowers covering the gym realistically depicted a gar- den. In the center were two ponds joined by a bridge and surrounded by lovely floral arrangements. In one corner was an old fashioned well draped with flowers; in another, a fountain. We worked like slaves to get everything perfect and were justifiably proud of the spectacular results. Cindy Moss was chosen to reign over the unforgettable affair which culminated our Junior social activities. 28

SENIOR DRAMATISTS This year’s Senior Class Play was an outstanding one. Not only did the production fulfill the traditions of Lawrence High School, but it added to the cultural life of Falmouth. The literary classic presented by the seniors was the famous Our Town by Thornton Wilder. The action of the play took place in a small New England town symbolizing a universal community. The themes abetted a very thought-provoking performance. This was the first time that any senior class had undertaken such a difficult and profound play, and many committees worked along with the skillful cast for many months to make it a success. The performers, under the added handi- cap of working without props, did an admirable job, ably directed by Mr. Fraher. Paul Olenick, gave a superb performance as the Stage Manager, while John Woodcock and Claire Schlepark, as George and Emily, executed their difficult roles with extraordinary skill. In addition, Lewis White, Susan Veeder, John Winslow, and Sandra Cooke were outstanding. Sue Veeder and Bob Fredericks greet each other. Mr. Webb cleans up the garden as daughter Emily looks on. Gosh Emily, I’ll miss you. “George, is the moon shin- ing on South America, Canada, and half the whole world?” Score With Hit
