Falmouth Public Library Falmouth, Mass. 07540 A SENIOR PUBLICATION tAa s5 This yearbook has been organ- ized by season. The reasons behind this are multiple, but mainly because in this world of immense complexities, the im- portance of handling every- thing in its time, of keeping it in context cannot be stressed enough. Examples of this urgency today are endless. We see it in assembly-line automation, in the growing belief in pragma- tism, most recently in the cry that you should “do your own thing,” and, most emphatically, in world affairs. Every week, every day, situations arise which must be handled without delay. This year especially had demonstrated the necessity to deal with events in their time. The war in Vietnam, the political situation, racial conflicts, the threat of depression— these, and more, are problems which de- mand action now. The “beat” generation has proven itself truly beaten, defeated, by refusing to deal with these tragic difficulties. However, that generation will be bypassed, because of their refusal to act. The responsibilities of the nation and the world will be assumed by those who are willing to act as and when the time calls for action. The responsibilities will fall on those who are unafraid to protest, unafraid of change, unafraid to get their hands dirty in the garbage left by the incapables, and, most important- ly, unafraid to fail and to try again. These action takers are not coming totally from just one of the societies prevalent today. The “over 30’s,” the hippies, the teenie-boppers, the beats, the squares— our world will be delivered to, and possibly by, a conglomoration of these; but this mixture as a whole will make up a Now Generation, an In Group, prepared to deal with everything as time demands, in its season.

Fall in COLOR reds, golds, browns, and greens blended together in a pattern no artist’s brush can match — maroon and white uniforms flashing across green playing fields- - - cold, blue-gray waters, accented by frothy white caps — brilliant foliage — streets bordered with fallen leaves - - - woods almost shouting with splendor. Fall is SMELLS — fresh paint - - - musty lockers — new books - - - smoke from burning leaves - - - popcorn, coffee, and sizzling hot dogs cooking at concession stands. Fall is SOUNDS — cheers for the home team — fog horns sounding throughout the misty nights - - - honking of wild geese heading south - - - crackling feet through fallen leaves — bands tuning up for half time - - - pep squad caller sounding the steps - - - pounding feet of trackmen. Fall is a FEELING — mixed emotions — regret for summer’s end anticipation of things to come - - - romance of the harvest moon - - - for seniors, high hopes for future plans - - - unity, dreams of final victory. FALL is a change from cotton to wool — deep tans to winter pallor - - - swimming to football pastels to warm autumn hues screens to storm windows — freedom to conformity — 5 tl Administration and Guidance Codify Aims and Assure Objectives The ultimate goal of the administration is to provide an education for all the children of Falmouth, so that each student may became a “productive and contri- buting member of our society.” The more immediate aim of the Administration is to manage a smooth-run- ning, efficient system of education. The largest job of the Administration is to co-ordi- nate all the activities of the teachers, coaches, guidance, cafeteria, and custodians. In addition, the curriculum must be organized (now with the help of computers), records must be kept, and discipline must be maintained among the students. II Superintendent Harry S. Merson confers with Principal Russell B. Marshall. School affairs never cease to keep Mr. Marshall concerned and busy. The main concern of the Guidance department is to help individual students achieve their goals, to steer students toward goals relative to their potential, to help students recognize and adjust to their academic situa- tions. This is accomplished by administering standard tests and then interpreting the scores. Counsellors especially aid Seniors in discovering desirable areas of study or employment for the future and in discussing the appropriate educational opportunities available. Class averages and rank are computed, transcripts are prepared, trips to schools and colleges are arranged, college representatives are invited to L.H.S., then schol- arships data and financial assistance information are provided. I reshman, sophomore, and junior guidance counselors attempt to ease underclassmen difficulties: Mr. Foshay, Mrs. Troutwine, Mr. Tassinari. Mr. Jones and Mr. Quick work on scheduling for this year and next. 7 Culture Through Communication Teaching students to speak and write the English language properly is only part of the job of the English department of Lawrence High School. The importance of communica- tion and the ability to analyze ideas and ideals is recognized and taught by the faculty of the department, that students will be adequately prepared for society based on human relationships when they leave LHS. The ability an individual has to communi- cate and analyze effectively is therefore of great importance if he expects to become successful. Mr. McKee stimulates valuable discussions in En- glish classes. The foreign language department offers Latin, French, and Spanish as courses of study. Not only are the foreign language teachers concerned with the technicalities of their respective languages, but with the people and ideas represented by the lan- guage. Their manner of teaching, a close- knit, discussion-oriented method, is essential to the student’s understanding of the philos- ophy and the traditions of people of a country other than his own. Mrs. Dudley is an animated conversationalist in and out of French class. 8 Librarian Miss Kenny provided researchers with needed information. Language department beams enthusiasm: Miss Childs, Mrs. Ketchum, Mrs. Colton, Mr. Phil- lips English teachers consult on departmental developments: Miss Heyde, Mr. McPhee, Mrs. Tansey, Mrs. Turkington, Mrs. Towle, Mr. McKee, Mrs. Peirce, Miss Moorman, Mr. Bird, Mr. Reid, Mr. Fraher. 9 Dedicated Mentors Inspire Scientific Investigation Exacting Mathematics Staff: Miss Flood, Mr. SCIENCE Keeping pace with the twentieth- century world was the science depart- ment, one of the largest an d most modern in Lawrence High School. Through skilled instructors, well- equipped laboratories, and ample time for individual student research, a keenly probing attitude developed en route to solving a problem. Whether viewing the workings of a living cell, testing various combinations of chemicals or measuring the wave length of light, an overall combination of skills resulted in a wider realization and greater appreciation of the intricate complexities of today’s scientifically- oriented society. Mr. Allietta pursues leisure activity as baseball coach. Solemn Science Staff: Mr. Comolli, Mr. Cavanaugh, Miss McKenzie, Mrs. Levine, Mr. Fickett, Mr. Higgins. 10 ibrain, Mr. Casso, Mr. Griffin, Mr. Allietta, Mr. Benttinen. Joviality relieves serious science studies. Mr. Griffin supports senior class. MATHEMATICS The mathematics program available to Lawrence H igh School students provides an excellent foundation for those who wish to pursue careers involving mathematics. Yet, there are those who, although they never pursue careers in mathematics, must have some knowledge of the subject in order to deal in the everyday business transactions of the twentieth century. It is with these facts in mind that the curriculum of the mathematics depart- ment is organized. A student may take any course from remedial math through calculus, and is given close personal attention and assistance throughout the year, regardless of the particular math class he may be enrolled in. Still another not quite so obvious benefit to be derived from studying mathematics is the ability to reason logically. Logical reasoning power enables the student to solve the problems he will encounter during his lifetime. Any degree of success in mathematics is just one of many factors that contribute to individual and social success. 11 Mr. Kalpcris teaches Howard Johnson eomplexities of visual aids. History Staff Ponders Events Past and Present HISTORY The general objectives of the History Department are to present the ideologies, moral concepts, and achievements of Society, and to help show students how to be responsible citizens. All courses concentrate on the growth of man and his cultures through the ages and stress the development of the students’ ability in critical thinking and objective analysis of information. One optimistic thought is that perhaps studying and evaluating the past may help avoid certain sociological, political, and economic problems in the future. Mr. Downs and Mr. Stevens inspire aesthetic values. 12 Cultural Appreciation Waxes MUSIC, JOURNALISM, AND ART Hidden and overt musical traits, jour- nalistic inquisitiveness and artistic aspir- ations were conveyed and cultivated throughout the year in their respective departments. Exchange concerts, New England Festival participants, “The Stu- dent Intelligencer’s” first place award, and nationally recognized art work bore witness to the value and high degree of achievement in the fine arts. Mr. Marotta and Miss Brown guided musical instruction. Man’s Achievements Depend Upon Technical BUSINESS Concerned with the important, in- deed, almost essential skills taught in their classes were faculty members of the business and driver education de- partments. Whether it was book- keeping, shorthand, touch typing, or the latest course in computerized data pro- cessing, students utilized the most mod- ern equipment available in honing their technique to a near-professional edge. A brand new 1968 Chevrolet put driver hopefuls through their paces, while an alert, attentive, and constructive Mr. Gaddis noted the good and bad in each driver’s ability. lr � wMft mm r a ' w ¥ ' 1 ' n m I ■ 1 ■ Mr. Gaddis prepares youthful drivers for the perils of the highways. Business staff stress organizational techniques: Miss Ogden, Mr. Farrell, Mrs. Osborne, Mr. Chishlom, and Mr. Warren. « j Industrial art management perseveres; Mr. Heyliger, Mr. Toran, and Mr. Harper. Mr. Harper points out finishing touches in shop work. 14 ind Physical Proficiency PHYSICAL EDUCATION “Mens Sana in corpore sano.” To just that timeless expression was the physi- cal education department dedicated. Various skills, all essential to the devel- opment of a well-rounded individual, were taught and refined in both boys’ and girls’ gym classes. From the fine art of a one-and-a-half on the trampoline to the equally delicate task of “Honor your partner!” in co-ed square dancing classes, students and faculty gained an invaluable sense of physical well-being, of a scope so wide as to complement any degree of intellectual awareness. Mr. Mills’ well-known grin brightens mail room. n .3 Miss Robertson, Mr. Ruggeri, and Mr. Yates join students in enlivened gym class. PRACTICAL ARTS Whether learning the complexities of a V-8 with four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust, stiching a hem, or constructing the intricate symmetry of a bridge in mechanical drawing, students enrolled in Lawrence High’s practical arts department received training. Future carpen- ters plied their trade in woodworking; homemakers performed “wifely” duties in the household arts division; skilled teen-age mechanics sought out, found, and cor- rected mechanical deficiencies in automobile engines.

Class Officers Ponder Class activities during the Senior’s final year required many conferences, Edward Winslow, boys’ social chairman; Debby Miskell, treasurer; Robert Whelden, President; Principal Russell B. Marshall; Michael Harlow, Vice-president; Dianne Palmer, girls’ social chairman; Donna Peterson, secretary. Seniors were led through their final and most demanding year by perhaps the best slate of officers the Class of ’68 ever elected. President Bob Whelden conducted class meetings with a permissive but firm hand; vice-president Mike Harlow filled in when necessary, and was a vital organizer in many class projects. Secretary Donna Peterson kept minutes clear, concise, and well- organized, while treasurer Deborah Miskell kept the class funds in order. Boys’ and girls’ social chairmen Ed Winslow and Dianne Palmer were essential in their roles as co-ordinators of all social affairs. With their most difficult year in high school the Junior class can look back with pride on its many accomplishments. The profit from experiences as freshmen and sophomores was measured in the unity and enthusiasm with which they entered the Junior year. The highlight of the year was the Junior-Senior prom, “Polynesian Paradise” an unforgettable event, thanks to the untiring efforts of the prom committees and their advisors. Sparking Junior activities were Harry Kamataris, Presi- dent; Peter McCue, Vice-president; Karen Scully, Secre- tary; Sharon Perry, Treasurer; Barbara Collins, Girls’ Social Chairman; Brian Mooney, Boys’ Social Chairman. 5 erennial Problems The end of summer vacation will find the soph- omores beginning their hardest year at LHS. The responsibilities of homework and grades, to fellow classmates and themselves, and gradually acquired sense of maturity developed in the past two years made young adults out of the Class of ’70. This year was a time of settling down for them, of working together as a class, of taking pride in their accom- plishments. This year the sophomores earned the respect of the upperclassmen and established a firm foot on the steps of education. They leave many memories behind them, and, as Juniors, will be making many more. Setting off the action for the Sophomore Class were Mardi Moore, President; Thomas Marks, Vice-President; Deborah Whelden, Secretary; Nancy DeMello, Treasurer; James Rubino, Boys’ Social Chairman; Marcie Harding, Girls’ Social Chairman. Heading the way for the green, green Freshmen are: Denise Steele, Secretary; Nikki Wessling, President; Janet McCaffrey, Vice-President; Margie Collins, Girls’ Social Chairman, Mike Galasso, Boys’ Social Chairman; Kenny Blake, Treasurer. From September to June, freshmen took the traditional tumble in prestige and entered Lawrence High School, a little boldly, a little bewildered, and somewhat timorous. The benevolent upperclassmen were more than willing to misdirect them, and teachers seemed to have little else to do except assign homework. Tardy bells rang too soon and many “frosh” were lost for several weeks. As the year progressed, though, the freshman class was on its way to a memorable year. 19 Tom Marks sets up play as Brian Burwell delays defense.

Upsets Liven Field Field hockey a girls’ sport, but one requiring a high degree of skill, a keen sense of co-ordination, and a good deal of personal courage and determination. Nowhere were these rare qualities more evident than in the 1967 girls’ field hockey team. Coached by Ruth L. Robertson, the Clipperettes proved that the underdog can always stage an upset. Although their won lost mark (4-6) was not outstanding, the girls, in their last game of the season, put forth a tremendous effort in upending previously unbeaten Dartmouth. Season-wise, the girls’ vaunted offensive attack proved worthy of its reputation, compiling an overall total of 18 goals. A strong defense continuously provided impetus to a balanced forward line, and the girls finished fourth in their first year of Capeway Conference competition.

The moods of winter are varied and flexible. They are apt to come unexpectedly and oft-times overstay their welcome. At one moment Jack Frost is solemn , serene, and peaceful. He turns his dynasty into a fairyland of pure white, lit by candles of evergreens. Hiding from reality under a blan- ket of make-believe, winter is viewed as clean, pure, and beautiful. So calm for a while, then suddenly, with little warning, winter’s mood turns to one of violence, force, and power. He carries on like a madman, while sharp winds whip across the empty playing fields, and the beaches, now deserted, quickly fill up with snow. In another second Old Man Winter comes to life, is playful, gay, alive. He paints his town, as does the artist, with fine, irregular strokes, leaving his magic mark on everything. The town comes alive again with the warmth of the Christmas season, and the kindly Old Gent does his part, adding to the decorations. Winter ' s personality is ever-changing and its kindness shortlived. In the midst of day- dreams of baseball, proms, and summer, he turns — changes, and North winds again rage, a reminder that winter is here until he chooses to move on. 35 Festival is Musical Highpoint of Year Music Festival Band performs march. Candidates for the South East Music Festival prepare for action. Kate Bunker, George Mandigo, Sandy Watkins. Perfect harmony, social and musical, became a reality this year when LHS was host to the annual South eastern Massachu- setts Music Festival. Musicians from all over the region, some 500 strong, composed the festival’s band, orchestra, and chorus - the weekend they stayed required a tremendous effort on the part of hundreds of interested townspeople to provide food and lodging for the visitors, who returned home with an under- standing of the true meaning of Cape Cod hospitality. 36 Silence, solemnity prevailed . . . . . . soon dispelled by song Flutists Stephanie Hancox, Diana Landers, Ellen Kasper finger during lull.

In opening-round action, determined de- fensive tactics paid off handsome divi- dends as the underdog Clippers handed highly-touted Marblehead a 3-0 setback. Second round found LHS on the winning end of a 2-1 verdict over a tough Boston College High sextet. Clippers just didn’t have the shooting power to put one past Norwood’s all- state goalie in their final tourney game, as he shut them out, 4-0. This repre- sented the first time a Cape team had ever advanced beyond the first round of the state tournament. Girls of LHS, not wanting to be left out of the hockey picture, organized an informal broom hockey squad, and held practices and scrimmages in hopes that someday a league with formal competition could be organized.

Skiers Practice Style on Annual Trip Harlow and Nickerson team to spark defense. Ski Club, a relatively new organization which brought the ski enthusiasts of Lawrence High School together for the first time several winters ago, enjoyed an especially active year during the cold months of 1967-68. Under the leadership of Rebecca Hennemuth, president; Elaine Ferreira, vice-president; Sheila Moore, secretary; and Sarah Richards, treasurer; members sold raffle tickets and held travelling bake sales to finance several trips to the snowcovered slopes of the North coun- try, the most notable of those a five-day outing to New Hampshire during Febru- ary vacation.

Robertson had another outstanding season. The starting team consisted of six seniors, but they were backed up by a sound bench of underclassmen. High scoring combined with a strong de- fense accounted for the Clipperettes’ success. An offense with quick passing and the scoring of co-captains Debbie Miskell and Joan Olenick assisted by Annabel Edwards and Bev Campbell broke many games open, while the alert guards stopped the opponent’s scoring with many inter- ceptions and tight guarding and re- bounding of Becky Hennemuth and Cathy Cranston. A 44-40 win over archrival Barnstable highlighted the season, as Falmouth, avenging an earlier loss, handed Barnstable its only defeat in conference play. Joan s agility was beneficial in outmaneuvering guards.

Basketball at LHS was as exciting, as action-packed, and as hard-fought this year as it has ever been. With a squad so finely balanced it was led by tri-captains, a dismal start of the season was offset by a tremendous second half during the months of January and February, highlighted by a come-from-behind victory over previously undefeated Dennis-Yarmouth. In all, eleven games were decided by margins of six points or less. Team ended both a productive and building year with a .500 record, winning nine and losing an equal number. Creighton vies for rebound. Again Falmouth took rebound 48 Spirit and Support Spice Close Games Rainnie reaches to muzzle Bulldogs. Clippers instill sheer terror. School spirit lends unfailing support. rivals. The building aspect of this year’s basket- ball squad was evident by merely a casual glance at the lineup. Nearly three-quarters of the players were underclassmen, a strong indication of things to come. Moreover, a team composed entirely of freshmen re- mained undefeated throughout the season of the “Rec” basketball league, competing against teams made up almost completely of 17 and 18-year-old boys. Coach P. Noel Kinski and his assistants, Angelo A. Casso and Donald A. Ruggeri, have established a building program in basketball that should guarantee future LHS teams seasons as good as, if not better than, this year’s squad. 49 Outstanding Individual m t. - .mtKmm Pete Bingham initiates team spirit . . .

Kalperis, and led by tri-captains Robb Hart, Paul Hendricks, and Carl Gonsalves, Lawrence High’s winter track team rolled to its third consecu- tive state track title. Records fell and new ones were set, notably Hart’s clocking in the 1,000-yard run and senior Pete Bingham’s record t ime in the 45-yard high hurdles, fastest in the state. Bingham also placed fifth in the East Coast Grand National competi- tion held in March in New York City. However, it was a determined effort by team members of all four classes that enabled Coach Kalperis and Co. to walk away from all competition at Boston Garden with the Clippers’ cov- eted trophy, inscribed “State Cham- pions, 1967-68”. Holidays Bustle With Pageantry of Kathy Palmer displayed handiwork Kathy Palmer represented Falmouth Junior Miss and Christmas Confusion Senior spirit promoted sales. Moment of glory. The peace of the Christinas holidays was sharply contrasted to the hurried activity of last minute tasks. Kathy Palmer represented LHS admirably as Junior Miss, and m uch of the school urged her success at the pageant. Back in town, seasonal preparations included decorating the green, and the seniors selling evergreens. Falmouth was warmed with good will towards men. Decorations on the green set the holiday scene. Trickle, splash dribble, drip, drop. And the rains come. gush. Grey monotony floods, breeds a vague restlessness, impatience for renewed life, and warmth under the sun. With throatfuls of reveille, birds announce the earlier rising sun. Moss, thriving on the recent dampness, preludes tender blades of grass. Caracoling through the crocuses on the light fantastic toe. Spring peepers create a din at dusk as “the silver-footed queen” sheds thin light on the marshes. Energy abounds. New sneakers are bought (retreads discarded), tennis rackets are re- strung, spiders are shaken out of favorite baseball gloves, and golf clubs are tenderly dredged out of the closet.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY May third was drawing frightfully near, and progress on the play was depressingly slow. Then, the full realization came home that the seniors would have to apply themselves with determination if Archibald McLeish’s “J.B.” was to became a hit in Falmouth when Mr. Fraher announced: “Cast your studies to the wind, this is the eve of destruction.” For the next week before opening night, rehearsals were held every afternoon and every evening. Circles under the eyes darkened and feet began to drag, but the results were well worth the added effort. The intellectually stimulating mod- ernization of the “Book of Job” was indeed a success as God and Satan haggled over the J.B.’s faithfulness throughout his tragedies. Director Wm. J. Fraher’s watchful and critical eye catches finer points of drama for perfection. 57 Student Creativity Encouraged for Productivity Good homemakers are a necessity. Aesthetic impulse inspires experimentation in new forms and styles. Skilled machinists are some of the most necessary people in today’s ever-increasing world of automation. Development of a student’s abilities, both aesthetically and practically, is achieved by encouraging each individual to express his own ideas and ideals-the result is originality. Skill in various creative outlets is urged. Through the year the cafeteria displays original works by the students. Experiment with various mediums is done, so that the students will know how to treat the materials they work with in order to get the most satisfactory results. Art of printing is required to keep communications in good order. Ait classes attempt original expression in many and varied forms. Home economics is a more practical aspect of creativity. Girls learn the necessary basics of homemaking, and from their use adapt and create practices for themselves. The creativity of homemaking is evident throughout the year. The halls of the lowest floor are often filled with tempting smells of cooking food, and many girls boast original clothing. For the boys, the most practical aspect of artistry comes in industrial arts. Not only does the cafeteria showcase continually display examples of students best carpentry, but many homes have found use for a piece of craftsmanship. Woodworking, machine work, printing, all are jobs requiring skillful, inventive hands, allowing a boy to be creative and productive at the same time. Perfecting a piece of craftsmanship can be a real joy. 59 Wine and food are given proper blessing by Bob Gentile and Karen Konnerth. Spanish Club Vice-President Joby Chase hears out suggestion from Yvonne Major. FRENCH AND SPANISH CLUB This year’s French Club met regularly to listen to French records, read Mrs. Colton’s supply of French magazines (“March”, “Elle”, “Le Figaro”) and made repeated resolutions to converse exclusively in French during the meetings. There were hopes of starting an annual week-long exchange of students between Falmouth and Quebec, and ambitions were put to practical use in the form of a new and original way of making money by taking orders for French desserts. Although this year’s Spanish Club was little publicized, it made a valuable contribution to the community. During Christmas time, the members helped a newly-arrived Cuban family through the holidays with presents and a party. The club treasury was then replenished by raffling off a typewriter.

LATIN BANQUET The annual Latin Banquet for the initiation of new students took place with the traditional amount of subservient crawling on the floor, calisthenics, ridiculing, and general groveling by the first year students as slaves. The second year class organized the induction torture. A skit was presented by the fourth year class as pre-dinner entertainment; prizes were awarded for scholarship and costumes; and a hearty meal was enjoyed by all.

Ringing out the old; ringing in the new. LOOKOUT CLUB The Lookout Club, sponsored by the Falmouth Jr. Outlook Club, started off the year of service projects to the school and the community with its annual County Fair to raise money for scholarships. At Christmas time, the girls collected cans of food with the Key Club for needy Falmouth families, and gave a Christmas party at the Teaticket school for the Headstart children. In March, the Lookout-Key Club broom hockey game was held for the benefit of the Youth Hockey League. Then, the girls participated in the April fashion show, sponsored by the Fence Rail, in the Intermediate School auditorium. At the scholarship fund-raising casserole dinner in May, honorary member Norma Rudolph, A.F.S. exchange student, spoke and showed slides of South Africa. The season’s activities came to a close with the annual banquet held at the Flying Bridge for the induction of new members and officers. Treasurer Wendy Williams gives final financial report.

KEY CLUB Key Club again rendered many services, both in and out of school. Led by President Ed. Augustyniak; Vice-president John Chase; Treasurer Bob Bigelow; and Secretary Bob Whelden, members joined in collecting food for the needy at Christmas- time, selling programs and seat warmers at sports functions, cleaning up after football games, and selling the popular short-sleeved LHS Sweatshirts. Most prominent contribution to the school was the addition of the large, attractive sign at the front entrance.

Playing to a near-capacity audience the one night the production ran, members of the Class of ’71 distinguished themselves with long-rehearsed, well-executed performances. Various specialty acts, including organ, piano, and dance solos, enlivened the show, and proved representative of the varied and well-devel oped talent shown by Lawrence High’s ninth graders.

Polynesian Prom Sets Pre- cedent at Armory The Junior-Senior prom set many new trends as a “Polynesian Paradise.” The National Guard Armory, utilized for the first time instead of the gym, took on a new perspective with palm trees, moonlit murals, a waterfall, and a volcano. Dresses ranged from mini to maxi, and for the first time men’s turtlenecks were seen. The individual tastes of the student body were reflected in the relaxed and informal atmosphere.

THE LAWRENCIAN Every Lawrencian has required an im- pelling (if not catastrophic) force to bring concept to publication. Unique about this year’s book is that the catalyst appeared early and disaster never ran. Editor-in-Chief Sheila Moore (originally cast as Managing Editor) soon proved to have the organizational flair and penchant for dissembling detail that had evaded early tri- umverate efforts. She also had the respect of Tri-Editors Maureen O’Connor, Robert Bige- low and Peter Hastay, section editors and staff to the extent that they were willing to play subordinate roles in order to deliver a better book with far less administrative compli- cation. The Lawrencian is thus the product of great effort, but perhaps more important, humility and dedication which can be a source of pride to all who contributed, and to a very grateful adviser. R. C. McKee Mel Howard gave professional aid in photog- raphy.

A first place rating in Columbia Scholastic Press Association competition was a major accomplishment during the year. A special assembly marking the paper’s twentieth anniversary was also sponsored, as well as a Thanksgiving Day homecoming King and Queen. Various polls throughout the school year reflected students’ opinions on dress, drugs, drinking, and the election issues, making the paper a truly representational journalistic effort. Major editorial positions were held by nine seniors, a record number for the paper.

It is a fair exchange, for he is dedicated to us, as students, as citizens, as people. As students he has been concerned with our education and that it should be as thorough as possible. But there is more to it than that; he has tried to help us learn about life, and find the knowledge which is so necessary beyond academics. As citizens he has been our best ex- ample, stressing courtesy, duty, and, aobve all, fair play. When we, as future citizens, asked for more freedom to make our own decisions concerning class activities, he did his best to grant it and advise us in our responsibilities. As people he has treated us as individuals, re- turning as much respect for our wishes as we may have given to his. Considerate of others, compas- sionate towards our problems, understanding of our youth; he is our friend. For giving to the students what he expects from them — loyalty, honor, service we dedicate the yearbook to our Principal, Mr. Russell B. Marshall. 84 Frances L.

the momentum toward the day of commencement gathered, the traditional Class Day activities broke up on Friday. The skit (a localized laugh-in, featuring Rick Szymanski and Bob Vidal in the Emcee roles, Ed Winslow as announcer, and members of the class as principals) quipped and reminisced its way through the annals of the past four years. In addition to the numerous yearly recognitions of achievement, the awards segment of the program was enhanced by the Jaycee’s initial presentations, one of which was to President Bob Whelden for his extra-curricular participation. 124 Commencement Accords 222 in Prestigious Outdoor Ceremony 125 Consciousness of Recent Events Challenges Graduates to Action Program Selections, Peter C.

Meld on the day of mourning for Senator Robert Kennedy, the already solemn occasion became, in part, a memorial to him. Nearly every speaker noted the significance of recent political and social events, and the thoughts of the graduates were heavy with the realization of the problems and responsibilities which faced them.
