Phillips, A.B., M.A. Latin classes were a place for discussion as the pro- blems of ancient Rome were viewed with new perspec- tive. Above all, they were a place for learning. Mr. Phillips knew the members of the Class of 1964. He knew them intimately; he knew them individually; he strove to help them. His sincere guidance extended far beyond the small interior of his Latin Class. In- evitably, the students knew Mr. Phillips and warmed to his lively humor. He worked beside them in class activities: The Minstrel Show, the Bean Supper, and countless dances. More than the head of Lawrence High’s foreign language department, Mr. Phillips was a leader to all his students. It was a long and rocky road to graduation. The class of 1964 began warily, paused half way, and for- ged ahead with renewed momentum to the journey’s end. There were times when the path was obstructed, or inclement weather made the going rough. Then it was that Eugene C. Phillips lent comfort and aid to a class which looked to him foremost, from the portals of high school to the final farewell. He led many along the Appian Way, introducing po- tentially tiresome mechanics of Latin in a manner fresh and interesting. He was officer through bitter cam- paigns with Caesar in Gaul, Britain, and Germany. Together, students and teacher applauded the orations of Cicero and read the poetry of Virgil: Mr. Phillips’ Aesthete • Altruist • Articulator 2 Autumn Foliage Transforms School The wind, blcnving through the trees, Takes with it sad corpses of summer While bright leaves bravely wave Gaily-colored banners of death. When the sky, leaden and ominous, Overlooks a gray, pounding ocean, Left-over summer gales sweep up ivaves Soon to be iced by winter ' s cold. The ritual of our return to school Brings with it vague memories of past years: Familiar smells of chalk, wood, wisps of perfume, While we greet newly waxed floors and smiles on faces of old friends. The familiar weight of books Vocies of teachers and students Cutting through fogs of summer reminiscences All are so familiar and yet so strange. These feelings die slowly as the leaves die And fall softly to the ground, And, like the leaves, they leave a path To follow through the ivork of the year. Like the leaves, we too shall drift away, Some to return, some to stay away, But all carrying with us The brightly-colored banners of knowledge and memory. FALL. . Swirl Of Activities In ■ m rWt if j W 1 A Crisp Air Sets Year ' s Pace FALL The school year begins clad in the brilliant orange and red of autumn. Fall is an awakening , a time of preparation and anticipation. It is a walk to school through crisp morning air; a familiar face, flushed with lingering tan and new maturity; a pep rally in the friendly excitement of a dewy evening ; the afternoon sun slanting across a chalk-lined football field. The athletic teams aivake and prepare. Legs ache and blisters form as cobwebs woven by the lethargic summer are slowly exterminated. The cross-country team begins the interminable jogging which will serve so well in grueling meets ahead. Football players hit and grumble, working toward the explosive precision that will make them a giant and feared machine. Calisthenics and fast scrimmages force complaining legs to harden, as the soccer team prepares to tackle its rugged schedule. Precision is sought elsewhere as school spirit awakens. Cheerleaders review and improve their nearly forgotten cries to arms. The pep squad strives to recover its perfection. Again the band dons colorful uniforms, and the afternoon is broken by sounds of drum and brass. Clubs, planning to attain new heights, organize and begin to f unction. Once more the presses roll as the journalism class resumes publication of the STUDENT INTELLIGENCIER. A neiv regime becomes established as the Student Council proposes and debates programs and campaigns. To the faculty and administration falls the burden of annual confusion: misprinted schedules, transfers, and dissatisfied students. To the freshmen, fall is an awakening of impact and magnitude. The vast panorama of high school life opens and presents to them promise of mental, physical and emotional maturity, and the attainment of their dreams and goals. They must adapt to the throb of high school’s pulse and embark on the seemingly endless journey to graduation. Adjusted and secure, the sophomores roll into their second year of high school eagerly awaiting increased opportunities in activities and athletics. To the boys, fall brings misery as Chivalry Week draws to its tortuous close. Maturity has arrived in earnest, and the juniors begin the latter half of their high school life ivith a new sense of prominence and responsibility. College becomes a reality, and courses become more specialized to insure a secure future. The hazy curtain of summer has risen, and the last act has begun. For the seniors there is a new awakening. College boards, interviews, and applications dictate futures and forerun the dawn of a new life. Vaguely aware of the nearing end, the seniors have entered confidently and begun a year that will end in sorrowful happiness. 5 Smartly-attired Clippers prepare to countermarch. Director James A. Stevens poises band for memorial to President Kennedy. Crisp Notes Pierce Chill A ir Bathed in sunlight and spanning the green chalk-lined field in precise formation is the Lawrence High School Band in an unforgettable picture of autumn. In the brilliance and excitement of fall, the maroon-clad band thrives. To many freshmen, a new extra-curricular acti- vity appears to provide continuing enjoyment. To those returning, fall brings the uncasing of instruments and another entry into the whirl of excitement of the foot- ball season. Director James A. Stevnes again provided Falmouth fans with lively and amusing halftime shows and gene- rated enthusiasm throughout thrill-packed, season. When Spectators stand as band plays The Star Spangled Banner Woodwinds awaiting orders to march are Julie Winling, Marcia Cauley, Janet Hampton, Pamela Stoddard, Cathie Cooper, Penny Smoller, Susan Gordon, Mary Jane Med- eiros, Helen Nickerson, William Medeiros, Linda DePonte. I the drabness of winter crept across Fuller Field, the band moved on and continued its service. It enhanced the Christmas season, lending its color and music to the Santa Claus parade, and marched in the annual Memorial Day parade. In the spring, extending its fame, the Clipper band was represented in the annual Cape Cod Music Festival. Within the walls of Lawrence Band sparks pre-game activity. Successful leaders Mike Ayres, Vice-presi- dent; Bill Bolton, Secretary; Penny Smoller, Treasurer; Bill Jenkins, President consult with Director Stevens. Percussionists flanking drum major Bolton are: Lawrence Perry, Richard Pinto, Thomas Vadala, David Barstow, Eric Ruschky, Bill Bol- ton, Brenda Pitta, Margaret Jenkins. High, the band also served. Its infectious rhythm rocked the windows of the auditorium during rallies and lent spirit and determination to the fans and players as the seasons changed. For these and many more services, the Lawrence High School Band occupies a position of prestige, not only in the school, but throughout Falmouth. Stalwart brasses in this year’s aggregation were (front) Tom Chase, Paul Porter, Arthur Medeiros, Bill Jenkins, Mike Ayers, Jim Reese, Danny Graves, (back) Darr Smol- ler, Douglas Souza, Richard Fredericks, Eric Turkington, Richard Afonso, John Clement.

Twirlers Step Out Briskly Lending zest and gaiety to the autumn were the high-stepping majorettes of Lawrence High. Utilizing weeks of summer practice, the twirlers trod briskly in mid-game shows and treated football fans to spi- rited marching in precision drills, beautifully comple- menting the sharp notes of the Clipper band. With the regularity of initial autumn frosts, the dedicated Majorettes execute Counter March on Thanksgiving. Officers facing crowd are Kathy Joseph, Drill Leader and Choreographer; Gerri Pate, President; and Cathy Burroughs, Vice-President. (Missing is Meg Gammons, treasurer.) majorettes maintained and augmented their precision through endless practice sessions directed by President Gerri Pate. A mainstay at games and rallies, the ma- jorettes further served the community by adding their dash and verve to Falmouth’s parades. Exciting and inspirational, the pretty twirlers won’t be forgotten in the change of seasons. B Pep Squad Courts Precision Leaves float downward in shimmering reds and oranges, blown by crisp breezes from Vineyard Sound. There is a stirring and humming of activity, arousing the Clipper Pep Squad to its role of encouragement and entertainment. Like the spotted foliage and temperate afternoons of fall, the Pep Squad is a model of symmetry and perfection. Directed by President Charlotte Cline, the marchers stepped smartly during halftime shows, moving militarily with Donna Mac- Quarrie’s commands. Precision was dominant as new twists were added to intricate marches and perfected formations. Pep Squaders also dealt unbridled enthusiasm while the athletes clashed on the field. Clipper scores were greeted by explosions of yells as the girls leaped to their feet with lightning suddenness. Fall passed, surrendering its color to the cold pallor of winter. The spectrum of the seasons re- volved, and the cries of the Pep Squad lived on, embodied in the warm spirit of Lawrence High School.

It became manifest as crisp Saturdays saw crowds lining the slopes of Fuller Field engulfed in waves of excitement generated by the long-prepared calls of the Clipper cheerleaders. Led by co- captains Jane Hill and Ida Childs, the girls worked diligently through the seasons, coordinating and perfecting — loyally supporting players a ' nd fans of football and soccer. When the cold veil of winter began to enshroud the gridiron, the cheerleaders prepared to move into the Marshall Gymnasium to resume their rallying calls at basketball games. Unrestrained enthusiasm and interest exemplified a fierce desire to win, tempered by the ability to accept defeat gracefully. Line up cheer shows sought after preci- sion.

Coach Harnesses Maroon Whirlwind Coach Maquire shows winning grip to co-captains Harding and DeMello. FOOTBALL Paul A. Maguire, in his coaching debut at Lawrence High School, built and led a strong Clipper team which surprised and thrilled the people of Falmouth. Ably assisted by James C. Kinney and George J. Allietta, the former Temple star established a regime marked by hard work, discipline, and glowing success. An impressive record of seven wins and two losses proved the Clipper gridsters the best on Cape Cod, and, in a memorable battle for supremacy, gained them a share in the four way tie for the Tri-County Conference Championship. The powerful Vikings of Wareham began the season on a sour note. In a new unbalanced line the Clipper attack floundered, and Wareham punched hard, sending the maroon reeling to a 19-6 defeat. Undiscouraged, a revamped offen- sive line and a hungry defense eagerly awaited the arrival of Bourne. Speedy halfback Mike Mello electrified the crowd SCOREBOARD Wareham 6-19 Bourne 6- 0 Dighton-Rehoboth 44- 0 Somerset 8- 6 Case 14-18 Ply mouth-Carver 18- 7 Dennis- Yarmouth 30- 6 Old Rochester 24-23 Barnstable ° 12- 6 Coaches Allietta, Scarito, and Kinney pose in front of athletic showcase. and gave a hint of things to come with a frantic 67 yard scamper, good for a 6-0 victory. A dormant offense awoke and exploded as Dighton-Rehoboth next felt the sting of Lawrence High: relentless as the autumn frost, the Clippers blasted their hapless hosts, 44-0. Next to fall was Somerset, which many considered the most rugged in a rugged league. Late in the fourth quarter, the Clippers were backed into a corner by the snarling men in blue and trailed 6-0. Then it was that the invaluable Mello grabbed a kickoff and charged 97 yards to knot the score. Swift and sudden was this turnabout, and before the crowd recovered Greg Anderson had driven and twisted into the end zone, securing an unforgettable 8-6 Falmouth win. The Clippers, exceding the bril- liance of the season, now climbed into undisputed possession of first place. Riding a wave of good fortune, the Clippers reached the half-way mark and invaded the Cardinals of Case High, renowned for a devastating aerial at- tack. Stymied by two long touch-down passes, the maroon finally unwound and roared back, but the clock beat them and they fell short, 18-14. Now ven- turing out of the league, the Clippers staged a mem- Mello typically eludes tackier. orable upset, journeying to meet class C Ply- mouth-Carver, undefeated and ranked second in the state. The determined Clippers unleashed a barrage of fundamentals, and Plymouth stumbled and fell, 18-7. Dennis-Yarmouth easily suc- cumbed, 30-6, and back in the league, the Maroon nipped Old Rochester in a 24-23 thriller and remained in contention for Tri-County honors. The Clippers capped a fine season by stunning Barnstable in the Thanksgiving Day battle. Mello and fullback Ron Bevaqua shared scoring honors as the Red Raiders fell, 12 - 6 . Team effort advances ball. Its m ark made on the Cape and in the Tri- County Conference, Falmouth won many in- dividual laurels. The All-Cape first team in- cluded Mike Mello, Jack DeMello, John Hough, Jr., and Bruce Mogardo. Mello and Hough also placed on the Tri-County All-Star team : Melio led the league in scoring, and Ron Bevaqua and Greg Kopcak were named to the All-Cape second team. Following a strong season that marked the beginning of Coach Maguire’s years at Law- rence High, there is every indication that Falmouth will develop perennial powerhouses.

Swift Booters Cover Turf Youth was keynoted as an eager Clipper soccer team unveiled a host of underclassmen who pro- mised a spring awakening in the chill of autumn. Bristling with verve, the young booters, tempered by seniors Robert McDonald, Carl Gonsalves, Leighton Peck, and Bob Andrews, snatched three wins, dropped five, and gained four ties while twice toppling the B team of Tabor. Strengthened further by John Murphy, Don Couto, and David Burwell, the Clippers hustled key victories over Barnstable and Sandwich, meanwhile playing spoilers in the Cape league by denying victories to Chatham, Sandwich, and Barnstable. Individual laurels were garnered by Gonsalves and Murphy, who won berths on the Cape All Stars. When sum- mer next blends into fall, Murphy and Burwell will lead returning lettermen Jorg Erol, Gene Martini, Eddie Kaspar, and a flock of underclassmen anx- ious to cash in on a year’s experience. Captain Robert McDonald, Coach Fred Toran provided knowledge of the game. Coach Toran explains during tense time out.

The Clipper harriers maintained their perennial fall bril- liance despite the loss of stars who had formerly led the squad to three state titles. Battling opposition with the de- termination of an Indian Summer, the budding Clippers captured every dual meet until succumbing to the whirlwind runners of New Bedford. Led by the fleet Joe Rezendes, the cross country men were runners-up in classes C and D Catholic Memorial Meet, placed second in the league, and took third place honors in the state meet. Strongly backing Captain Rezendes were standouts Raymond Fike, Ward Rain- nie, Tom Vadala, Jim McHardie, and Ray Costa, forming the stable foundation of a team again regarded among the best in Massachusetts.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL An ambitious Student Council maintained its active role in the better interest of Lawrence High School and planted seeds of progress which grew rapidly. The Council pounced on the first opportunity of ser- vice and enhanced the excitement of bright fall Sat- urdays as members announced the home football games. The waning autumn caught Falmouth represented in a state convention in Brockton. Winter descended, and in a wave of yuletide spirit, the inspired Council created a generous Christmas spirit for needy children. At President Robert McDonald’s urging, the spirited student body yielded a vast sum to the patient Coun- cil, and the holiday brought a new light to many children The Council harvested the vintage of its ef- fort in establishing the Teen Club, an enterprise which proved popular and successful. More records were hoarded, and dress became casual as the balmy spring raised attendance to unprecedented heights. Sparking Student Council were David Burwell, Vice-president; Robert McDonald, President; Mr. Ugo J. Tassinari, Adviser; Kevin Dougherty, Treasurer; Linda Barrow, Treasurer. Council Warms Winter With Teen Club Activity intensified in the spring warmth, and after another state conv ention, a survey on the prayer-ban issue was made in L.H.S. Smoking was similarly ex- amined, and the hustling Council strove to curb illegal indulgence. Strongly led, the Student Council toiled through a year of continuous activity and increased accomplish- ment. The fruit of such accomplishment should prove long enduring. Dance brings smiles of enjoyment.

Freshmen Blaze Through Chilling First Year As the mists of Autumn shrouded L.H.S. in the morning light, the freshmen launched themselves into the life of the school. With Donald Bumpus as president, the Frosh began using the knowledge harvested from previous years to prepare for the long winter ahead. After the confusion and new- ness wore off, the freshmen started their class rolling by sponsoring a Holly Hop in December. The experienced guidance of Mr. Roberts enabled the class to jump successfully over this first hurdle of planning and organization. The first money fell like leaves into the freshman treasury, and the seeds were planted that would bloom in the spring of the senior year. The class of ’67 made use of its first experience to put on the Freshman-Sopho- more Prom in April. This prom, under the theme of Fleur d’avril, turned out nicely. Hoarding the experiences of these two dances like squirrels, the class plotted a very successful variety show in May, the precursor of a warm green spring. Antics Swain and Bumpus spar.

In September, the teachers came back to the fall-rimmed halls of Lawrence High ready to capi- talize on a newly-awakening crop of students. The clear, crisp air of autumn on Cape Cod is ex- tremely conducive to this spirit of inspiration and enthusiasm. Since a majority of the extra-curricular activities during the fall concern sports, a great many teacher-coaches and faculty advisers immed- iately find themselves snapped into their respective slots.

To guide bewildered freshmen through a year of activity and learning was part of the task of Pre- sident Robert McDonald. Led by Jack DeMello and Dick Harding, a brisk freshman football team swept the opposition before it like wind-driven autumn leaves. Football over, the class settled down to serious work. Most freshmen stumbled through courses in a haze as they peered over stacks of books with the eyes of startled deer. The “Holly Hop,” the first money-raising project, was produced in December by forward-looking students with attributes of nut-storing squirrels. The next major ef- fort was the “Market Place Minstrels.” The cast managed to survive weeks of forgotten lines, missed cues, and misplaced props to earn close to $600 for storage in the treasury. Mr. Phillips harvested a chorus, and, after much effort, forced it to sound like one. The Freshman Prom “Fantasia”, added another autum- nal bloom to the class’s earliest high school garnering. The frost crept in, ending the fall of “64’s” resi- dence and bringing with it a more serious dedication and unity to the pursuit of the fruits of four years’ sowing in Lawrence High fields.

Ardor Warms Chilling Blasts Howling winds blow Tiny crystals of snow Across porous salt ice And rattle the fingers of sleek skeletal trees. Rosy-cheeked children in bulky playsuits Scream down snowy hills On shining Christmas sleds And toss sticky snowballs from icy fortresses.

Growth Continues Within 24 Dormant Winter Landscape The north sends her icy gales upon the country, snow encloses earth in a fleecy blanket: the long night of winter has begun. The solemn gloiv of the half-hidden sun in the crisp air of morning reveals knowledge piercing the clouds of doubt and thawing the ivastes of ignorance. The frosty mists over-lying the mirror-ponds beckon to the hockey team to place its nets. Burning reds, electric blues, radiant yellows, and restful greens of winter coats sharply define personalities within them ivhile jackets of royal maroon color-symbol loyalty and spirit. Pristine hues reflect qualities of belonging : friendship crimson, discipline azure, leadership gold, peace verdure bring forth the human essence. Outside, each flake falls with its mates to billowing drifts or ivindblown eddies, just as the individual adds his talent to help transform from barrenness to being. Icicles grow as drop on drop shapes the cone; accomplishment increases knowledge from which sunlight strikes the academic spec- trum. It is the time of winter. The season will at times be contrary, and night will press upon the soul. But the bea- con will burn brightly, kindled by the dreams, to traverse a new land of learning and experience where verdant grass aivaits the tread of feet. 25 Hockey team pauses for pre-game photo with mentor Kenney (left front).

Puckmen Exploit Freeze Coach Raymond Kenney outlines pre-game strategy with Co-captains Dave Ignos and Kevin Dougherty. In its fifth year at Lawrence High School, hockey at- tained new heights as the scrappy icemen battled to a record of three wins, eight losses, and three ties. In surpassing all previous seasons, co-captains Dick Harding and Kevin Dougherty led standouts Mike Mello, Junie Sylvia, Ken Freeman, Fred von Arx and Bob Andrews to berths on the all star team. Bourne was hit hardest by the hustling Clippers, who stopped the Canalmen 4-2, froze them 1-0, and denied victories in 2-2 and 3-3 ties. The season was highlighted by inter league contests with class A powerhouses Rindge Tech and East Providence, resulting in losses for the outgunned Clippers. Success was evident in this hard-fought campaign, promising shorter winters in an atmosphere of growing enthusiasm.

Coached by Ahtletic Director Earl Mills, the classy Clippers defied winter’s chill and breezed to second place in the Southern Massachusetts Win- ter Track League. Despite a disappointing sixth place finish in the state and league meets, the fleet Clippers upset New Bedford and tied the powerful Vikings of Wareham, state titlists in class D. Strong two miler Raymond Fike led his mates in honors, capturing the Amos Alonzo Stagg Medal as the outstanding performer in the New Bedford meet. Miler Joe Rezendes, Mike Ferreira in the 600 yard run, Doug White in the 50 yard dash, and shotputter Bruce Mogardo supplemented Fike’s speed and endurance and formed the core of a hardened and experienced track team.

Coed Gymnasts Suggest Winter’s Forms Gymnastics, a newly developing sport in Lawrence High School, is growing into maturity this year as its members enter into competition for the first time. Last year, the doors of this strictly masculine pastime were opened to the feminine half of the high school because of their much-admired agility and grace. This sport, one of the oldest and greatest individual challenges, has an appeal to the gym- nast that might not be apparent to the spectator. The form and grace with which a stunt is exe- cuted are far more important than its difficulty. Also, the phsychological challenge in doing difficult stunts develops confidence. Like the defter touches of winter, this sport builds stronger bodies with better muscle tone and coordination. Atop pyramid is Judy Pratt, who is supported by Chip .Allen, Bernard St. Jean. Wayne Wright is consist- ent performer on rings.

In her first appearance on the coaching lines at Lawrence High, Miss Patricia Moorman step- ped forward to aid Mrs. Lynn Whited at the helm of the girls’ basketball squad. The season was cold and barren, but the promising signs of spring which inject all winters instilled a grim and spirited determination in the oft beleaguered girls. Boast- ing youth and a swift aptitude for learning, the Clip- perettes weathered brutal storms as they doggedly worked on fundamentals which promised to serve them well in the succeeding year. Tempering the youthful entourage were seniors Chris Young, Wanda Medeiros, and Nancy Short. Sharpshooter Ann Ra- besa headed a host of returning underclassmen who contemplated the year ahead with the confident as- surance acquired through a year of hard knocks. Girded with the belt of experience, the inspired Clip- perettes awaited the winter with the anticipation of a hungry panther. Co-captain Wanda Medeiros sets shot.

Buffeted by storm-tossed seas, the Clipper basketball team survived wintry gales to salvage a record of respectability in the Cape League. With Coach Myron J. Gaddis at the helm, the Clippers braved icy blasts through a season marked by red hot streaks and chilling spells of cold. Paced by juniors Ward Rainnie and Steve Papp, seniors Claude Baptiste, David Barstow, and Lynn Andrade boosted Falmouth into the Cape Cod Principal’s Tournament for the fourth consecutive year. The campaign began inauspiciously with a staggering loss to the powerful Harwich Rough Riders. The streak- ing hoopsters rebounded with three brisk wins, blasting Chatham, Sandwich, and Barnstable in rapid succession. Fortune changed quickly as Provincetown, Bourne, and Dennis-Yarmouth thrust defeats into the laps of the reel- ing Clippers, who thrice failed to score fifty points. After felling Nauset and succumbing to Harwich, the Clippers returned to the victory road, stunning Chatham, Sandwich, Barnstable, and Bourne. As winter waned, the hoopsters lost some momentum, finishing with five losses and first-round elimination from the Principal’s Tournament. Baptiste ran away with individual laurels, topping all teammates in scoring, rebounding, and as- sists, an effort which placed him on the All Cape second team. It was a season of rebuilding; a season of watching and learning; and a season of young blood. When frozen winter returns to Lawrence High School, it will prove to have been a season of preparation.

Cheerleaders Pile Up Noise Drifts In lineup before game are J.V. cheerleaders Eileen Maloney, Debbie Collins, Gloria Bearse, Susan Soares, Carol Peck, Ellen Bryant, Sharon Miller, Debby Maseda, Claudette St. Jean. When December rolled around, the cheerlead- ers donned lighter apparel and migrated into the Marshall Gymnasium to begin conditioning themselves for the long basketball season. Im- mediately they were confronted with two pro- blems. Suzanne didn’t have a blouse for her uniform, and the squad badly needed new cheers. The problem of the blouse was soon remedied, but the cheers took time. After numerous trials, errors, and arguments, a new cheer, or, rather, a revised one that was satisfactory to all, was created. It was the “Old Lawrence” in an “L” done in a diagonal rather than straight line, ending in a flip instead of a cartwheel. Once on the road, the girls were faithful and enthus- iastic as always in their fierce determination to have the team win. The Clipper’s loss in the Bay State Tournament might very well have been due to a sudden blizzard which prevented the cheerleaders from attending the game, for at no other time is the effect of the girls’ work more rewarding. Co-captains Jane Hill and Ida Childs do private cheer. Varsity alternates were (top) Pat DePrizio, Sue Sheehan and Alison Moore, Tammy Smith. Linda M. Barrow Deservedly chosen by her classmates and modestly accepting the Ann K. Harper Award was Linda Bar- row. Admired and respected by students and teachers, Linda performed her many offices and activities with sedate enthusiasm. For three years she worked doggedly as treasurer of her class. The honor of president of the Future Nurses was bestowed upon her, and she lent her services to the betterment of the yearbook and class play. But it was not this list of activities that won admiration for Linda. It has her quiet good nature, her willingness to work, and her tactful intel- ligence. The approbation of her fellow students was indeed well earned. Anna K. Harper, Awards Reflect Verdant Character In choosing John T. Hough, Jr. for the Anna K. Harper Award, his classmates gave a vote of confidence to a student who richly deserves it. John’s list of achievements marks him as a well-rounded student, and one who has never avoided responsibility. While main- taining an enviable scholastic average, John served as President of the Honor Society, Lawrencian editor, and guard on the football team. However, the traits the class appreciated most in John were his sincere interest in and liking for people, as well as his dependable and upright character. John T. Hough, Jr. 33 Academic, Talent, Popularity Awards Eric Benttinen Letter of Commendation NATIONAL MERIT AWARDS Lorraine B. Carter Letter of Commendation Charlotte Center Letter of Commendation The National Merit winners represented a unique segment of Lawrence High’s student body. Finalist Ronald Simpkins led a host of well-rounded scho- lars who proved adept with man’s most valuable possession — his mind. Glittering in this brilliant array were athletes and leaders from all walks of school life. Sara Ann Ketchum, Lorraine Carter, and Charlotte Center carried the banners of the gentler sex, while the male winners were Robert McDonald, Kevin Dougherty, Eric Benttinen, and John Jones. This select group achieved a unique distinction with Letters of Commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Foundation. Their scho- lastic ability alone was recognized in a stiff test of their mental achievement and capability. All pre- vious awards and school activities were of no avail as the students sat down to a supreme test of their minds. They survived the trial admirably. Kevin J. Dougherty Letter of Commendation John T. Jones, Jr. Letter of Commendation Sara Ann Ketchum Letter of Commendation Robert K. McDonald Letter of Commendation 34 Brighten Winter’s Gloom The annual awards, as regular as the first snow of winter, plucked a host of talented and prominent seniors from the halls of Lawrence High School. The varied honors brought forward the strength and spirit of the school and granted it well-deserved rec- ognition. Ubiquitous on this shining field of honor was Faith Canning, whose supreme laurel was the title of Cape Cod’s Junior Miss. Her classmates acknowledged Miss Canning’s pulchritude and capability by be- stowing upon her the D.A.R. award, and choosing her as Thanksgiving Day Queen to support their choice of King John Hough, Jr. The eye-catching talent of Tammy Smith added to Lawrence High’s prestige, as Miss Smith emerged from the Cape Junior Miss contest with the talent award. Roberta God- lewski excelled as a future homemaker and snatched the coveted Betty Crocker Award from an array of girls gifted in the culinary arts. Months of diligent study brought lau- rels to two Ronalds, Simkins and Ricci, for sterling efforts and high achievement in the field of chemistry. It was a select group that brightened winter with rewarding rec- ognition and a group whose achievement promised to be of long endurance.

Awakening in their first spring of high school, the took the path of change. The well-established minstrel show bowed out to a rollicking variety program set on the beaches of Cape Cod. Led by President Tom Vadala, the sophomores continued as pioneers. In the gaiety of fall, the school ring was standardized to survive countless seasons, and the Honor Society accepted Pacemaking’ Sophomore slate was Charles Johnson, Vice-president; Ray Rodriques, Boys’ Social Chairman; Kathi MacFadden, Girls’ Social Chair- man; Susan Cahoon, Treasurer; Jill Propes, Secretary; and Thomas Vadala, President.

The seasons re- volved, and spring expelled the drabness of winter, bringing awakening and more change. Under the rain of protest, the sophomores waived the annual bean supper and treated crowds to spaghetti, and unprecedented dance, and a hootenanny. Amid the blooming buds, the freshman-sophomore prom closed the curtain on a year on innovations. As the seasons continue to broad- en and change, so may this class progress in its re- maining years of high school. m: Manuel Lopes assigns work as Jill Propes and Greg Papasadora model aprons before the feast.

The Intelligencer staff maintained its alacrity, and journalistic precision was tempered under the leadership of Mr. George Moses. The industrious students of journalism supplemented comprehen- sive news coverage with several exciting special issues. The chill of autumn was brightened by the Intelligencer’s fall sports page. The staff continued to acknowledge the novelty of every season, capturing the unique flavor of winter and spring in other popu- lar efforts. The winds of March brought recognition well-deserved, as staff members attended the annual conference of the Colum- bia Scholastic Press Association. Amid the stir of the convention, the Intelligencer was named the best school newspaper in its class. The countless readers of Lawrence High endorsed the decision heartily.

CLASS PLAY In a year which has seen a profusion of violence and death, a highlight of the winter was the senior class play, which revealed a more pensive attitude on the part of the seniors. The Sandbox presents a “view of death” much less apalling than it is usually portrayed. “Mummy” and “Daddy” are hy- pocritical about the death of “Grandma”, and im- patiently await her demise. But in her last moments, Grandma sees the Angel of Death as a handsome, compassionate young man, and faces death without fear. Like Everyman, the members of the senior class began to realize that nothing but “Good Deeds” would stand by them in their hour of need. The desertion of Everyman by “Fel- lowship”, “Strength”, and “Goods”, finds a parallel in the seniors’ realization that these qualities will not gain them admission to a good college or a worthwhile job. The offering of these two “Moral- ity” plays by the class of 1964 reveals a serious declination to the more sober aspects of life on the part of the class.

Amid rosy apples and jack-o-lanterns, the club aided its sponsor Kiwanis Club at the annual Halloween party. In the spirit of Christmas, the club collected food for the needy families of Falmouth and tackled its largest sale of Christmas trees. Services continued. Members braved winter morning winds to hoist the flag punctually. In a supurb ef- fort, the clubbers peddled student directories for the scholarship fund. Unselfish labor continued as the club sponsored two dances and stocked the gum ball machines of Falmouth. Winter turned to spring, and the Key Club wrapped up a rewarding, industrious year. Upperclass members behind officers are David Langenheim, Eric Edwards, David Burwell, Robert Davis, Mike Meflo, Mike Ferreira, Joe Netto, Niels Lierow, Domingo Pena, Dick Hard- ing, Wesley Stimpson.

Brightening the chill of Autumn, the mem- bers staged their annual County Fair, providing pat- rons with an afternoon of gaiety and amusement. Scarcely had the proceeds been garnered for the scho- larship fund when the girls diverged from the ordinary and presented an “Oldie But Goodie” dance, recalling the hit songs of years past. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, the Lookout Club cooperated with its male counterpart in generating the spirit of generosity. Working with the Key Club, the girls collected food for the needy. Swept in a gale of Christmas spirit, the Lookout girls advanced this worthy project and sent Enjoying annual banquet are Miss Anna J.

Next to reap the benefits of the girls’ efforts was the March of Dimes, which sparked the girls to sponsor a successful Valendimes Dance, a festive affair in the lingering dullness of February. In the fresh warmth of early spring, the girls participated in the town bazaar and were subsequently rewarded with a riotous pajama party at the Rod and Gun Club. The end drew near, and the Lookout Club capped a reward- ing year with the May induction of new members and officers at the annual banquet. With this productive year, the girls paved the way for continuous service from an ambitious Lookout Club. Skittles was a big attraction. Busy behind the door prizes are Sue Lamothe, Vice-Pre- sident; Tammy Smith, Treasurer; Leslie Bowman, Pi’e- sident. The Future Nurses Club again strove to prepare girls interested in medical occupations for their careers and achieved its end with enviable success. This winter, the girls shivered through chill morn- ings to work in the Falmouth and Otis Air Force Base hospitals. Although they first quaked at un- familiar duties, the fledgling nurses soon learned to make the patients happy and comfortable. The F.N.A. proved its worth to the community by doing volunteer work at the Bloodmobile and in the distribution of oral polio vaccine. In another effort to prepare the girls for their careers, the club organized several trips to nursing schools and Adviser Mrs. Frances Cleveland and officers Linda Barrow, Presi- dent; Karen Kelenosy, Vice-president; Gail Delano, Secretary; Pat Scully, Treasurer pose in health office. hospitals. At the Paul A. Dever School, an institute for retarded children, the members collected toys to make the Christmas holidays less bleak. Also, the girls were briskly efficient in their efforts to increase their scholarship fund for a deserving member. Through all these community and public service projects, the Future Nurses of America pre- pared for the self-sacrifice of their worthy pro- fession.

Contingent of Future Teachers Grows The largest membership in the history of the Future Teachers Club glided through the year with energetic spirit. An addition of three, gleaned from the male population of L.H.S., seemed to give the F.T.A. added determination. The inexperienced teachers faced the frightening prospect of dozens of youngsters and substi- tuted at the Mullen School. In money raising projects, the group plunged into several cake sales with rosy- cheeked enthusiasm. As a first this year, the club was host to a state F.T.A. convention. After snow drifts of confusion had been cleared away, the chapter directed the convention capably with the aid of several other organizations. Another worthy accomplishments was the members’ whole-hearted support of Gus Canty Day. With a year of such achievements behind them, the senior members of the F.T.A. are better qualified to face the possibility of hard work in preparing for their chosen careers. Members were (top) Jane Hill, Janet Brown, Helen Walsh, Martine Flory, Bar- bara Caldwell, Lorraine Carter; (fourth row) .Anne Twiss, Betty Hayward, Marcia Goudreau, Alison Moore, Joyce Ignos, Kathy Noonan, Barbara Andrade, Jacque- line Grady, Pat Cavanaugh, Brooke How- ard, Linda Paglierani; (third row) Carol Henderson, Ann Rabesa, Diane Dupee, Susan LaMothe; (second row) Margaret Vierra, Ellen Bryant, Pat Ortins, Sally Nutter, Rindy Schauberger, Betty Corey, Suzanne Metell; (first row) Ricky Hill, Brenda Pitta, Nicholas d’Ombrain, Julie Winling. 45 Class Report The juniors rushed through the year in a whirlwind of activity while creating a veritable blizzard of deeds and accomplishments. President Eric Turkington car- ried the banner and led the class into the cold winter’s night. The juniors’ first task was warming up Law- rence High School with spirit by staging a rally. The jubilant juniors poured forth a rush of enthusiasm to smother the cries of the other classes in a contest of vigorous cheers. Then classmates assumed the role of responsibility for many activities well-prepared. With the freshman fall behind, and the sophomore coldsnap mastered, the experience of those years allowed progress in to the drifts ahead. The Snowball dropped with a disappoint- ing wetness into prospective plans for making money. With the theme “Etoile de la Nuit” (Star of the Night), the treasury absorbed a severe blow, dealt by lack of attendance, by failing to replace the amount spent on the dance. Angry and disgusted, junior leaders advised other classes to drop this formal dance, a perennial fin- ancial flop. Consoling the ruffled juniors was Alison Moore, the Queen of the Ball, who brought warmth to a chasm of cold.

The final icy breaths of winter enclosed the juniors preparing for the labor ahead. Several tackled the Na- tional Merit Scholarship Tests, initiating the grueling battery of examinations waiting ahead. As the first signs of spring crept over the high school, the juniors caught spring fever at its most infectious stage. In a flurry of activity on April 11, two-thirds of the class swept through town on the Junior Work Day. Some painted houses and put up screens; lawns were mowed and prepared for the coming summer; cars were washed. The industrious laborers spread a warmth of service that chased away the shadow of winter for good. The day was not unrewarding, for the teetering trea- sury received a transfusion of four hundred dollars. The juniors have left the winter of the school years behind and are preparing for the hopes and joys of the senior spring. The daisy chain has been chosen ; the Class Marshals, Peter Maloy, Carol Henderson, Will- iam Boulton, and Cheryl Horn are preparing themselves for the graduation festivities. Meanwhile, the juniors are planning the big event of the social season — The Junior-Senior Prom. The elections are approaching, and the Class of ’65 is sailing into a new year of excite- ment and anticipation with clear heads and open hearts. 48 Beans, Chivalry, Twirps Highlight 64’s . . . and there were results of twirp week. As we trudged through our sophomore year, drifts of homework en- cumbered and depressed us. It was Mr. Phillips who helped thaw out our ice-bound minds so that we could function. Glare-eyed, the boys met the approaching winter’s night with groans in anticipation of Chivalry Week. As some worked in an atmosphere of formaldehyde, others stretched reluctant fingers at typewriter keyboards. This was the time our outlook seemed barren, our senior year hidden beyond the horizon. Father Time was making little progress on the ice floe of eternity. Under that monstrous despair, the warmth of classmates permeated the air as we became involved with our bean supper. Glowering girls on Twirp Week felt the cutting, good-natured revenge of the boys, but the books weren’t that heavy. Shortly the Sadie Hawkins dance was spring’s first minion, to be followed by painfully enjoyable spring fever. We will never look back upon this year as a frolic : yet, lingering momentarily, we were proud of our accomplishments and could visua- lize our possible imprints on the expanse that lay ahead. In the semi- crispness of the prom, we parted from the academic winter’s night and turned our aspirations toward the dawn of our latter years in Lawrence High. 49 DeMello gets instructions during Chivalry Week. President McDonald summons class to action. 50 Superintendent Counsels Seniors For you, this book will always be the stuff of mem- ories ; for your grandchildren it will be a source of de- light and wonder (“Was grandpa ever really so young?” “where did grandma get that hair-do?”) But the greatest wonder is that such diverse people from so many unrelated places found their way to im- mortality between the covers of a small-town high school yearbook. The list of your birth-places is a ros- ter of the states, and your pictures and your names reveal you have cousinship with a goodly representa- tion of the peoples of earth. Indeed, had you sought companions from whom to discover about the oneness and delightful diversity of humankind, you might hardly have chosen better. Nor could you readily improve upon the geography of Falmouth, which is pictured here, as a setting for good learning; for here nature is teacher, revealing to the curious the beauty and variety of her cycles of ebb and flow, suggesting man’s place in a precarious bal- ance. Urging these awarenesses of people to care for and of place to cherish is part of the work of the school — that out of the awareness may arise a will to serve. The school has other business also, which, since it is only implied in this book, is here affirmed : to provide the tools of access to the accumulated experience of all men of insight and to give practice in applying this Mr. Harry S. Merson, Superintendent of Schools experience in some rational way to one’s life and to the problems of one’s time. This, of course, will remain YOUR business, and of this, we would want this book to be a reminder. Posing with Mr. Merson are Mr. Paul F. Olenick, Director of Curriculum and Guidance; Miss Martha Tavares, Secretary; Mr. Merson; Miss Alberta Donahue, Executive Secretary; Mrs. Regina Lee, Clerk. Faculty Combines Many Talents Myron J.

The fact that Lawrence High School was for the first time a four- year school added a novel atmosphere to the school, making the usual drudgery of December, January, February, and March, not as familiar as always.

The snows have melted Sending rivulets and cascading streams down the hills, And water, in its annual destruction, Dances, a divine Shiva, to the all-encompassing sea. While the sea, itself, laughingly receives and eagerly swallows the bubbling stream, And, in springtime flippancy, changes mood with the variance of the weather : Blue in nascent sunshine days, Gray and ominous in the springtime storm. In our burrowed classrooms, we are awakening to thoughts of our coming graduation, Our emergence from the schools, When we must lose part of our high school selves To be born into the world. SPRING 55 Vibrant Souls Stir As 56 Glistening Freshets Appear Buds burst into shining leaves, and a fresh, exciting revival envelops awakening hills and forests. It is spring, the momen- tous season which ushers the seniors to the portals of Lawrence High from which they emerge into the world. With thoughts of graduation come those of distant springs, bringing memories of springtime activities long enjoyed during other awakenings of high school life. Many look back on the spring seasons of softball and base- ball. The crack of a bat, the flashing speed of a line drive, a loudly partisan crowd, and the breathless dash from third to home provide fond memories to departing seniors. Others re- call hours of tennis practice, perfecting the game on the asphalt- covered courts, the red brick of Lawrence High School looming near in the warm air. Players and fans remember thrilling to the skill of the game, the quick contact of ball and racquet, its clean arc as it clears the net and its swift return, products of a graceful, lightening-fast swing. As leaves mature and grass turns green, members of the golf team look back to the greens of the Falmouth golf courses and recall the fringe benefits of springtime freshness of rolling hills while practicing endlessly to achieve a perfect game. Track men relax and reminisce miles of running, the glory of a victorious final effort, and the frustration of succumbing to the endurance of a strong miler. The blooming verdure of spring recalls other occasions to the seniors. They remember spring as the time of their major ef- forts and achievements. They recall the Freshman Prom, the first exciting formal of their young high school lives. The riot- ous fun of the Freshman Minstrel Show loses none of its hila- rity. The gay songs, the spirited dances, and the crazy joking and clowning continue to provoke fond memories of the now distant freshman spring. The Sophomore Bean Supper looms enduring as a monument to the second spring of high school. Waiting on tables, enjoying chatter and good nature, and nervously preparing for acts amid make-up and laughter, all ring familiar in the ears of seniors. The third spring is charged with the task of staging the Jun- ior-Senior Prom. Ther e is a new thrill in the air ; the exciting proximity of the imminent senior year intensifies as the juniors observe graduation. Their turn, they realize, is close at hand. Hence, the final spring arrived, and the blooming freshness of 1964 was packed with the activities of approaching gradua- tion which headed a ponderous list of senior engagements. The final financial project, the Senior Class Play, saw weeks of work and careful practice blocking the long road to dress re- hearsals. In the stillness of a spring evening, relief was sighted every- where as the long-awaited rehearsal rolled flawlessly. The per- formances finally ended the long but worthy struggles, capped with a special dramatization for the student body. Finally came the preparation for graduation, the senior prom, the class banquet, and class day. The final few days were spent in rehearsing graduation, marching endlessly down the aisles to the familiar strains of Pomp and Circumstance. Sud- denly, it was all over, and graduation had ended a life as under- graduates. The seniors had repeated the timeless cycle, and, as spring merged into summer, they had strode into the world, leaving the familiarity of the building and people known and loved to meet the challenges of the future. 57 On the 1964 roster were Mike Metcalf, Manager, John Hough, Jr., Stan Rabesa, Coach George J. Allietta, Arthur Medeiros, Jim Murphy, Jack DeMello; (standing) Clyde Peters, Domingo Pena, A1 Holcomb, Bob Davis, Jake Pena, Pete Maloy, Don Hall. BASEBALL It was a long spring for Coach George J. Allietta as the Clipper nine problemized its way to an incon- clusive 4-7 record. The season was fraught with peril as the Clippers sprinkled long periods of tolerability with moments of brilliance. Shedding the burden of three quick losses, Falmouth suddenly came alive, bat- tling champion Barnstable for ten grueling innings and finally succumbing 6-5. Meager opposition offered surprising resistance as the Clippers nipped Nauset and Chatham. Another light shone briefly as Silver Lake was jolted by a 10-7 tally. The curtain closed again until the final day of the season. Undefeated Barnstable breezed confidently into Fuller Field, unlimbering big bats and wafting assurance. Southpaw Stan Rabesa toed the mound, undaunted by statistics. Backed by the strong hitting of Jack DeMello and a leaky Barnstable defense, the little lefty hurled the Clippers to a smash- ing 8-3 upset. Thus, a lengthy season concluded on an optimistic note, and Coach Allietta hopefully contem- plated a flashy crew of J.V.’s and the experience of re- turning starters who promise to better the showing of 1964. I J.V. hopefuls with Coach F. Keith Baker are Ray Gagner, Bob Rabesa, Steve Paltz, Paul Ingram, Bruce McCullough, Chuck Gonsalves; (sec- ond row) Fred Von Arx, Scott Walker, Jack Carreiro, Tom Vose, David Woolkalis, Dan Gadsby; (third row) Larry Ferreira, Brad An- tone, Greg Dole, John Hankinson, David Swain, Bobby Olenick.

The quiet beauty of the Falmouth golf courses suddenly came alive as the Clipper clubmen strode across the undulating hills in a wave of victory. Co-captains Bill Jenkins and Rob Handy headed a club of enormous depth, proven by the incredibly low team average of eighty. The season started rapidly, and the Clippers promptly as- sumed a torrid pace, stunning Cape opposition and capturing all dual meets. A single quadrangular loss slightly marred the sensational season which extended far beyond the greens of Cape Cod. Coach James C. Kinney led his surging entourage into the state tournament. Reserve Sam Ingram stepped into a starting role and excelled, while Ken Freeman, Dana Hewins, and the captains displayed their usual consistency. The colossus New Bedford was dumped in the initial tournament encounter. The quarter finals were next, and Walpole felt the sting of the Clipper lash in a 7-2 upset. Superiority was theirs, but supremacy eluded the battling golfers from Falmouth as Pittsfield halted them in the semi-finals. It was a memorable effort, and the proud teemen garnered a trophy and the honor of resid- ence in the state’s first echelon.

For the third successive year, Coach John Reardon fielded a lusty crew of strength and depth, as the aggressive Clippers repeated their domination of the small school division of the Southeastern Massachusetts Tennis League. Captain David Bur- well, en route to leading his club to a brilliant 12 and 2 record, piled victory upon victory as he extended his two year winning streak to twenty-eight matches. The amazing junior was a mainstay in the league’s all-star team and standout among the top fifteen boys throughout Massachusetts’ tournament. David Miskell and Wayne Witzell further bostered the strong singles corps, while the doubles men were led by Kevin Dougherty, Ed Kaspar, Tom Canty, and Walt Buguey. The warm spring resounded in the resilience of a torrid finish, and the tennis team confidently laid down their rackets to await another year of smashing success, promised by the return of the club’s strength and spirit. Meanwhile, in its second year of existence, a scrappy girls’ tennis team battled superior size and experience and emerged with the respectable slate of three wins and three losses. After a ringing 5-0 initial triumph over Barnstable, the Clipperettes sustained two losses to Old Rochester, and again to the power- ful New Bedford. The girls then rallied, stunning Barnstable and New Bedford to salvage a satisfactory record. Seniors Marty Holmes and Tammy Smith departed in the haze of approaching summer, leaving juniors Carol Henderson and Sylvia Trask; sophomores Tuggie Newton, Sibella Kraus, and Kathy Wessling to continue to provide substance to the hard-striving Clipper- ettes.

Maguire moulded a hardened core of conditioned ath- Johnson uncoils for discus toss. letes whose superiority was evident as opponents crumpled beneath overwhelming strength. Enduring the grueling two mile race, Raymond Fike, Tom Vadala, and Jim McHardie mowed down tiring runners. Running easily in other dis- tance events were veteran senior Joe Rezendes and junior Ward Rainnie, while Mike Ferreira and Bill Kemp headed a swift band of sprinters. Dave Barstow performed brilliant- ly with the javelin, and husky Bruce Mogardo won laurels with the hefty shot. Under the surveillance of Coach Ma- guire, the Clippers initiated an intensive isometric exer- cising program, braving the oppressive spring heat. More tiring were the painful sprints and seemingly endless jogs. However, work was the price which paid great dividends, and with this glittering success, Falmouth appeared to have found the key to Cape supremacy, and ranked 6th in Class Kemp poises over pit.

Cape Crown Rising to unprecendented heights, the high-flying girls’ softball team battled rough opposition and hard luck on the thrilling road to the Cape Cod champion- ship. The hustling girls favored Lawrence High with the coveted honor for the first time in their club’s history, as they slugged their way to eleven victories and two defeats. In his debut with the team, Coach Fred Toran found a reliable ace in the Cape All-star pitcher Pat Terry, who hurled the entire schedule for the Clipper- ettes. Shortstop Ann Rabesa joined Pat on the All-star squad, weilding a potent bat and a reliable glove. Honored also was Sue Cahoon, who placed on the Upper Cape All-star team while holding down first base as- signments. With the stunning triumph over Nauset which clinched the long-awaited title, the exuberant girls wore their honor with dignity and pride. A new spirit prevailed, promising victory and success in future springs. Umpiring chores were handled by Mr. Eugene C. Phillips. Ann Rabesa scores.

Lawrencian Players Blossom Emerging from the gloom of dormant winter, the Lawrencian Players entered the lively spring inspired with the freshness of life and consumed by the desire for activity. The L.H.S. Drama Club surged through its second year of existence and welcomed the spring with smooth production skill. A minor production of mid- winter financed this effort as Adviser Frank J. Sca- rito and his enthusiastic players produced Marriage Proposal, Aria de Capo, and Riders to the Sea in a sin- gle evening. Laurels were won by Marriage Proposal in the preliminary drama festival, and for her sterling performance, Helen Nickerson was honored as one of the fifteen best players at the trials. The curtain final- ly fell, albeit reluctantly, and the Lawrencian Players bowed out to the call of summer. Their unforgotten per- formances and increased poise and knowledge await their successors. Leading players and officers Katie Pendergast, Han- na Corbo, Mr. Frank Scarito, Adviser, Linda Gas- kell, Helen Walsh directed club’s efforts. Rough rehearsal for “Marriage Proposal” shapes up. Junior Remembering Years The class blossomed into the junior year with a burst of fresh enthusiasm, rising to its many tasks with renewed determination. This new verve germinated in late fall, with the traditional candy sale. In a venturesome move, the class selected a different brand of candy than that sold in previous years. Backing for the project was unusually strong, and, as a result, the class treasury became greener than ever. December brought the Snow Ball, a harbinger of the spring proms. With flourishing enthusiasm, committees worked on plans for decorations and refreshments. As the night ap- proached, crepe paper and paper mache snowmen sprouted in the gym like strange flowers. Becky Moore reigned as a lovely queen, in a night which juniors would long remember. February saw town- wide tech tournament enthusiasm which the class managed to cultivate by selling Lawrence High Officers John Hough, Linda Barrow, Pat Kinsey, Mike Mello, Kevin Dougherty, Faith Canning directed junior activities. 65 Remembering Years . . . School pennants. With determined juniors stationed throughout school and town, there was scarcely a Falmouth fan without a pennant on the day of the crucial game. However, much of the class found it necessary to prune their extracurricular activities in a newly-fledged realization of school work. College Boards played a part in the dawn of this dis- covery, as many juniors saw that higher education was not going to be easy to attain. Also, the Guidance Office saw more of the Class of ’64 because of the demand for college catalogues, job applications, and advice. Under the leadership of Mike Mello, our class continued to grow through the junior year, while also branching out into forward-look- ing attitudes, in preparation for our final year in Lawrence High. To The Class Of 1964 Graduation from high school is one of the important steps in your life. As you study and work in the future, you will have many surprises. Many of you have plan- ned and know (or think you know) what you will be doing in the years to come. Some of you will continue on your course, but others, perhaps many of you, will find opportunities that will take you into new fields of endeavor. All of you will be called upon to make decisions and to give and take advice. All of you will face the decision of continuing your education in one way or another, or of neglecting the talents that you possess. Knowledge is expanding by leaps and bounds. If you stop learning, you will soon find yourself far behind. I urge you to keep up your self-education, under- stand the new developments that are bursting like fire- works around you, be prepared to develop your skills and talents to suit an ever-changing world. I congratulate you. Your education is well started. May you grow and find success. Mrs. Nancy Bullard, Secretary and the most important educational product. A pleasurable duty Mr. Russell B.

THE LAWRENCIAN Cutting into the listless inactivity of torpid winter, the first vestiges of spring incited a sudden murmur which set students and teachers vibrating. The school sprang into life, trembling in a crescendo that finally carried the seniors through the portals of Lawrence High on a wave of exuberance and job. Foremost in the whirl of senior burdens was the looming obligation to create The Lawrencian. Editors and advisors struggled amid a mass of bustle and action, completing page after page and ruefully contemplating the ceaseless beckoning of unfinished tasks. It was a unique yearbook which the editors strove to attain. Copy was edited with the tireless patience of a giant machine, as quality was the ultimate goal. As numerous as blades of grass, pictures swamped the har- ried editors like an incoming tide. Suddenly confusion dwindled; pictures and articles fell into place; order reigned. The frenzied labor had ended, and its reward was invaluable knowledge and experience for the weary editors, and a vivid record of their high school lives which they hope will serve the class of 1964 in perpetuity.

Mr. McKee stimulated senior editors, as work on the yearbook intensified, and the first LHS literary magazine, THE CLIPPER’S LOG, took shape under the auspices of Mrs. Peirce, Mr. Reid and the English Department. Recovering from the hilarious dignity of the Latin banquet, Mr. Phillips undertook the monumental task of training unruly voices for the chorus of the freshman minstrel show. Hits rang and spikes flashed as Mr. Allietta and Mr. Baker waded through a thrill-packed base- ball season. Mr. Farrell’s netwomen, attired in shorts and sneakers, spent long afternoons drilling in the spring heat of the LHS tennis courts. Students observed an infallible confirmation of spring.

Brings Cultural Exchange Handling novel duties in their first year of existence with the confidence and ease of veterans, the members of the A.F.S. club opened a new frontier in the pano- rama of interests at Lawrence High. Dale Mandigo headed a capable board of directors who regulated and stimulated a year of activity whose nucleus was foreign exchange student Niels Leirow. The knowledge and per- spective with which the popular German student flooded the school were enhanced in a winter assembly which ushered an enlightening group of exchange students in- to Lawrence High. It was an adventure thoroughly ap- preciated by the respectful Americans who gathered af- ter school at a massive reception in the library. Spring warmth accelerated the club’s projects. A progressive dinner was enjoyed by the members, and a cookout summoned the bubbling group of neighboring A.F.S. students to Falmouth for a second time. It was a full and rewarding year as the A.F.S. club brought to the school cultures and ideas which will grow and broaden as the A.F.S. program matures.

Jones, III advises members Katharin Heide, Diane Bousquet, Nancy Short; (second row) Betty Hayward, Chel- sea Baylor, Bob Swain; (top) Ronald Simkins, Michael Metcalf, Paul Dezendorf, and foreign exchange student Niels Lie- row. Culminating in the annual spring trip to the East Coast Model United Nations Conference, the U.N. Club’s year proved active and productive. Under the expert leadership of Mr. Jones and President Mike Met- calf, the club planted the seeds that would germinate in the spring trip. In the fall, the members sponsored an assembly which centered on West Germany, the home of foreign exchange student, Niels Lierow, a member of the club. The spirit of the Christmas sea- son was lighted by the sale of UNICEF Christmas cards. Spring arrived, and the members worked hard to prepare for the trip to Mount Vernon, New York for the Seventh Annual ECMUNC. In the warmth of a New York April, Turkey was ably represented by Bob Swain of the Political and Security Committee, Mike Metcalf of the Trusteeship Council, Paul Dezendorf of the Legal Committee, Betty Hayward of the Economic and Social Council, Charlotte Center of the Tech- nical Assistance Committee, Chelsea Baylor of the Com- mittee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, Ronny Sim- kins of the Scientific Advisory Committee on the Peace- ful Uses of Atomic Energy, and Diane Bousquet of the World Food Committee. The convention was a success, and Falmouth’s delegation was in no way a small con- tributor, proof of the U.N. Club’s great vitality. 72 Spring Musical Groups Orchestral participants were Linda DePonte, Lynn Wolf, Mar- garet Jenkins, Janet Hampton, Mary Jane Medeiros, Marcia Cauley, Donna Croft, Anita Barrow, Brenda Figuerido, Cynthia Figuerido, Julie Winling, Beth Easterly; (second row) Bill Bol- ton, Mike Ayres, Doug Souza, Tom Chase, David Easterly, Bill Medeiros, Larry DePonte, Ed Kaspar, Paul Porter, Darr Smol- ler, Eric Rushky, Chris Eident, Dick Pinto.

Stevens, the group prepares for the annual concert, a showcase for musicianship among the various members. This year, the group also assisted the Drama Club in its Christmas production of the Nativity. The normal appearances of the orches- tra at Class Day and Graduation were made impossible this year because of the size of the graduating class and the relative smallness of the auditorium. However, individual members attended the several music festivals throughout Massachusetts. James C. Stevens, mentor of both groups chats with Margaret Jenkins and Dick Pinto. CHORUS A successful curriculum in music is abetted by a vo- cal training program. Such is provided, for the senior chorus, this year under the direction of Mr. James A. Stevens, serves as the focal point for instruction and performance in the arts of harmony. Although the group did not appear in concert this year, valuable backgrounding in music was given during class and group singing sessions. Another spring should exhibit the musical verdancy of these choral trainees. 73 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Productive group spurring year’s activities was Mr. James C. Kinney, Adviser; Martha Holmes, Secretary; Susan Sheehan, Vice-presi- dent; John Hough, Jr., President. The Honor Society forged ahead in a year marked by its greatest achievement at Lawrence High School. Members of the society appeared in many classes, not as students, but as sub- stitute teachers. For the first time, Honor Society members went to bat for teachers unable to attend classes. This program was warmly accepted by both faculty and students, and lent invalu- able experience to the novice instructors. The Honor Society also gave birth to a tutoring system, as members relinquished their free time to help budding students eager to receive assistance. The annual induction of new members was presented at a fun-filled assembly program at which a mock court scene provided the stu- dent body with an amusing and interesting induction. The year proved most fruitful, for as the Honor Society achieved, the entire school benefitted. Spring inductees Ruth Perry, Niels Lierow, Lucille Santos. Sophomore provisional members included Barbara Ballentine, Kathi Mac- Fadden, Sibella Kraus, Greg Dole, Ed Kaspar, Susan Bailey, Judy Pratt; (second row) Eric Rushky, Susan Edwards, Amy Cooper, Pam Cooke, Jacqueline Reynolds, Mary Hough, Chelsea Baylor.

Ideals A.F.S. Student Niels Lierow Austrian Franz Eberhard shares views. Neils and Evalisa Carlsten at gathering. “David Barstow, in his skit, just spoke about the ‘honor’ which you had in having me here as a foreign student. Well, if there is any honor — it is entirely on my side. Not only did I have the honor to spend a year with the most admirable people I ever met, but I also had an opportunity to learn about your way of life, your ideas and your emotions. I had the pleasure to take part in your activities and to be completely exposed to your point of view, which helped me a great deal to understand the American character. “With great interest, I studied your system of gov- ernment and education, and I saw what real freedom and democracy are like. In the many families I visited, I saw how the American youth is brought up with independence and a sense of responsibility and how, nevertheless, harmony between parents and children prevails. And, finally, I got to know and to like American ways of recreation and sports, and was successfully converted to baseball fan. “In almost 20 talks and speeches, I addressed var- ious schools, groups and clubs, and tried to do my best to give them a good and fair understanding of Germany and her people. For it is not the purpose of this program to give just me the advantage to be with you and to learn about you, but it is giving me the chance to be a mediator between our countries or, more accurately, between their individual people. If I have achieved this aim, my year with you certainly was a successful one for you and me. “And when I say ‘the year was’, I am reminded of the fact that it is almost over and that I have to say good-bye. It is difficult for me to straighten out my feelings about this. I am sad to leave behind all the friends I made here over the year, to leave my host family, who made me one of their own sons. I am sad to leave beautiful Cape Cod, Falmouth, and the ocean where I had so much fun. But, on the other hand, it will be nice to see my German parents, my brothers and sisters again, to speak my own language and to be in my homeland again. “This word ‘home’, however, has lost its absolute meaning for me. Although I am a German, I shall al- ways have two homes from now on, Constance and Falmouth. I hope you will help me to keep in close con- tact with my American home, and I also hope to see as many of you as possible in my home on Lake Con- stance in Germany. So let me finish this little farewell talk with all the thanks I can give to you for a most wonderful year and a sincere welcome in Germany.” 75 A.F.S. students underscore interna- tional brotherhood.

This is the town which has been the guiding influence in our lives, for some of us, the full compass of our years to date. Its diversity has made us strong ; its depth has made us secure. Wherever life’s chart may take us, no matter how rough the waters or rocky the shoals, nothing tvill obliterate the memories or the debt we owe to our native shores of Falmouth. Falmouth Harbor The Fire Station The Police Station As The Seed Is Nurtured, The bloom of a flower is conditioned by its heritage, the soil in which it is planted, and the amount of care and attention it receives. So it is with people, whose parents provide not only the generic spark but the basic environment ; whose town and its people allow the letting down of roots into the earth; whose schools nurture the buds of character and learning into blossom. Unlike the plant which enjoys only one phase of development, human beings are blessed with an evolving capacity which, when it leaves one period of growth behind, can often recreate from the harvest just garnered and adapt to various changes of intellectual and societal climates. we are proud that our town exudes the typical Neiv England hardiness and verdancy, which has stirred our hearts, minds, and souls, if not to the heights of Hawthornes, Websters, and Kennedys, at least t o gathering the ability to follow the leadership of traditionally great men. So, with this our final pictorial reminiscence of the stage just completed, we look forward anxiously yet confidently to the future. too So Will The Bloom Abound Standouts In The Class Of Superlatives have traditionally assumed the impor- tance of a yearly joke, an opportunity to cast a few barbs into those one likes or, mayhap, dislikes. Al- though the slings and arrows are only temporarily po- tent, they can be the cause of great discomfort and severe embarrassment. Disregarding the possibility of finding oneself billed as “Class Clown” twenty sober- ing years later, it would seem that the best superlatives fulfill two qualifications: they apply to the character as well as the personality of the chosen ; they do not demean the recipient. Most Athletic Jack DeMello and Christine Young Most Personable Sue Sheehan and John Hough, Jr. Best Dressed Ken Mills and Sidney Motta Most Artistic Steve Mott and Jan Hazelton Wittiest Hanna Corbo and Bob Andrews -71 Nineteen Sixty-Four Thus, the superlatives for the Class of 1964 are given as awards in acknowledgement of the traits in the re- cipients which we enjoy, admire, and, in some case would like to emulate. The fact that the entire class chose the people pictured on these pages indicates the impact “the most” students have had upon their class- mates, and the regard their peers hold for them. Our hope is that twenty, thirty, even fifty years hence, we will be able to point to the same attributes in the same people.

I 04 The Class of ’64 gathered bountiful awards as the fruits of their active years at L.H.S. ripened. Bathing themselves and their school in prestige, those honored accepted their laurels with dignity and aplomb. Linda Barrow and John T. Hough, Jr. were the proud re- cipients of the Anna K. Harper award, voted by their classmates. The household arts girls were bestowed with several awards, as Karen Cole received the 1963 Crisco Award for being outstanding in home economics as well as the Outlook Club’s award for cooking skill. Paula Doane gleaned prizes for her skill in sewing and the Henry Herbert Smythe prize in efficiency and im- provement during the years. The Home Economics awards were crowned by the presentation to Roberta Godlewski of the Betty Crocker Award for the home- maker of tomorrow. The libraries gave awards to their hard working staff ; Paul Souza, Gaye Newman, Lucille Arredondo, and Tom Vose represented the school li- brary, while Mrs. Turkington gave awards to Kitzi Heide and Martha Holmes from the Falmouth Public Library. The social studies were represented by the Shirley Pena and Eric Turkington who won the Daugh- ters of Founders and Patriots of America and the Jona- than Hatch Chapter’s D.A.R. awards respectively. The Tow awards were earned by Arthur Medieros, high school band award, Penny Smoller, junior high school award, and Geraldine Pate, majorette award. Scholastic honors were gleaned after the years of toil by many. Vir- ginia Marks and Ronald Simkins, highest ranking girl and boy received awards. Those seniors with a 90 c o or better in four major subjects given certificates from the faculty were Ronald Simkins, John T. Hough, Jr., Niels Lierow, Sara Ann Ketchum, Virginia Marks, and Eric Benttinen. The science and math fields were repre- sented by Wesley Stimpson who won the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute key for excellence in mathematics and Ronald Simkins who received the Bausch and Lomb honorary science award for exceptional progress. Martine Flory garnered the honors in art, while Nancy Gilles was given a gift for her unselfish devotion to the Color Guard. Eric Turkinton won the Harvard Book Prize, for being the best all round boy in the junior class. The Danforth Foundation awards were given to Charlotte Center and Robert McDonald. The athletic awards were given out to members of the football, winter track, spring track, baseball, golf, bas- ketball (girls), softball, and hockey teams.

An exhilarating feeling of excitement and responsi- bility pervaded the Popponesset Inn as the seniors en- joyed eating, dancing, and celebration. The delicious choice of half chicken or roast rib filled the palate with joy and caused more than a momentary lull in the conversations. Hard on the heels of dinner came a high spot of the evening, the announcement by John Hough, Jr. of the dedication of the 1964 LAWRENCIAN to Mr. Eugene C. Phillips, who grac- iously and elatedly accepted the award. Before the dancing to the strains of a well-disciplined trio with a talented female trumpeter could begin, Sue Sheehan announced the superlatives and Messrs. Marshall, Mc- Kee, and Jenkins gave farewell addresses. The remain- der of the evening belongs to the ages. Ginger ale or sarsaparilla? Seniors display sartorial splendor.

A gripping new emotion pervaded the pensive seniors, as time assumed new dimension and meaning. Poised on the brink of maturity and adult- hood, students felt pangs of regret as high school, the nucleus of their existence for four years, suddenly began to dissolve beneath their occasionally faltering steps. Class President Bill Jenkins greeted the multitudinous gathering in an address reminiscent of the ordinary high school assembly, but tinged with an undefinable ele- ment of finality. The Very Reverend N.R.H. Moor stim- ulated both relieving laughter and sobering thought as the speaker of the evening. Scholarships were awarded, and suddenly the Class of 1964 came face to face with the final act in the drama of high school. Diplomas were presented; tight-lipped and pensive, the seniors nervously shook hands with Dr. Mary Sears, Chairman of the Falmouth School Committee, and stepped off the stage into the abyss of adulthood. The Very Reverend N.R.H. Moor at his home in Davisville 107 Preludes To Graduation Ebullient Daisy Chain awaits graduation. Susan Lamothe, Seniors await end of processional.

Then, Student Council President Robert McDonald stood and delivered a farewell, touching parents and students alike with the sobriety and significance of the fast-ending occasion. The organ broke the heavy silence, and in the last uni- fied act, the seniors, now fully struck by the stunning realization, marched up the narrow aisles and entered the world. The graduating Class of 1964 was endowed by the townspeople with more than twelve thousand dollars in scholarship aid. For several, this plentiful sum aug- mented sizable grants-in-aid from colleges and corpor- ations. Standing assemblage pays tribute to solemn seniors.
